Sorry. I don’t have any leeches on my speed dial.

The fortune-telling bloodsucker can’t see us? Seriously? That’s excellent!

They shouldn’t exist. Their existence goes against nature.

What I am was born in me. It’s a part of who I am, who my family is, who we all are as a tribe — it’s the reason why we’re still here.

Normal humans run away from monsters, Bella. And I never claimed to be normal. Just human.

You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs.

Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV.

It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother.

You’d be better off dead. I rather you were.

What do I look like, a pack mule?

Does my being half-naked bother you?

What’s it like — having a vampire for a boyfriend?

What’s it like — having a werewolf for a best friend?

One of the many hazards of socializing with vampires. It makes you smell bad. A minor hazard, comparatively.

Hey, it’s the least I can do — I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life.

You can have me the way I am — bad behavior included — or not at all.

You love me, too. Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me.

Until your heart stops beating, Bella. I’ll be here — fighting. Don’t forget that you have options.

When he left, you spent all your energy holding on to him. You could be happy if you let go. You could be happy with me.

I’m not going to kill you now, because it would upset Bella. (Edward)

But if you ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?

She is mine. I didn’t say I would fight fair.

Everyone will come. They’re all dying to see the inside of the reclusive Cullens’ mystery house.

To think it’s come to this, though! Trusting werewolves!

Bunch of vampires trying to kill you. The usual.

Does that mean that he’s a better kisser that I am?

According to you, you’ve kissed just one person — who isn’t even really a person — in your whole life, and you’re calling it quits? How do you know that’s what you want? Shouldn’t you play the field a little?

You could kiss me, for example. I don’t mind if you want to use me to experiment.

Sometimes I think you like me better as a wolf.

I make you nervous. But only when I’m human. When I’m a wolf, you’re more comfortable around me.

When are you finally going to figure out that you’re in love with me, too?

Go fetch a space heater. I’m not a St. Bernard.

I’m sure she’ll thank you for this when her toes turn black and drop off.

Don’t be stupid. Don’t you like having ten toes?

You mean, ‘as much as I’d love to kill you, I’m glad she’s warm,’ right?

I think you were just worried that if you really forced her to choose, she might not choose you.

I didn’t say it wasn’t the best night I’ve ever spent. Just that I didn’t get a lot of sleep. I thought Bella was never going to shut up.

That should have been our first kiss. Better late than never.

Dr. Fang isn’t sure how much pain medication I need, so he’s going with trial and error. Think he overdid it.

Don’t you think you ought to know how you feel — just so that it doesn’t take you by surprise someday when it’s too late and you’re a married vampire?

He’s like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can’t live without him now. It’s too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun.

I’ll always be waiting in the wings, Bella. You’ll always have that spare option if you want it.

I’d hate to shatter the dream world you live in — the one where the sun is orbiting the place where you stand — so I won’t tell you how little I care what your problem is. Go. Away.

If the silence in my head lasted, I would never go back. I wouldn’t be the first one to choose this form over the other. Maybe, if I ran far enough away, I would never have to hear again… I pushed my legs faster, letting Jacob Black disappear behind me.
