Just like the first Twilight, New Moon quotes
carry on the cheesiness and have more than a few short
comings. The movie itself
comes across as a bit wooden and lifeless. However, despite the
movie's weakness reading the New
Moon
quotes may take the edge of off the stiffness of the movie and redeem
itself a little. Take a
look at these quotes and see what you make of them.

[first
lines] Bella Swan:[voice over] These
violet delights
have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder.
Which, as they kiss, consume...
Charlie Swan: Senior
year!
How'd you get so old so fast? Bella Swan:
I didn't! It's not
that old. Charlie Swan: Well
I don't
know. Is that a grey hair? Bella Swan:
No, No way? [runs to mirror to check
it out] Charlie Swan:
Happy Birthday Bella Swan:
It's really funny.
[bends to kiss Bella] Edward Cullen:
Happy birthday. Bella Swan:
Don't remind me. Edward Cullen:
Bella, your
birthday is definitely something to celebrate. Bella Swan:
But my aging is not. Edward Cullen:
Your aging? I
think eighteen is a little young to start worry about that. Bella Swan:
It's one year older
than you. Edward Cullen: No,
it isn't.
I'm a hundred and nine. Bella Swan: Wow!
Maybe I
shouldn't be dating such an old man. It's gross! I should be thoroughly
repulsed. [they start kissing]
Bella
Swan: Hello biceps. You know, anabolic steroids are
really bad
for you. Jacob Black:
Well, I'm just
filling out, Bella. You
know,
wouldn't seem so drastic if we hung out more. Bella Swan: We
should
switch schools. Then you can come hang out with the pale faces. Jacob Black: I'm
alright. I
prefer the Res school's exclusivity. They let any old rift raft into
this place.
Jacob
Black: Hey,
happy
birthday. Your Dad told my Dad. So... Bella Swan: Yeah,
of course,
he did. Jacob Black: I
saw this the
other day and thought of you. It catches bad dreams. Bella Swan: That's
kinda
perfect. Emm...thank you. Jacob Black: No
problem.
Edward Cullen:
So how come
Jacob Black gets to give you a present and I don't? Bella Swan:
Cause I have
nothing to give back to you. Edward Cullen: Bella,
you give
me everything by just breathing. Bella Swan:
See? Thank you.
That's all I want.
Alice Cullen:
Bella! [Alice hops over the
stairway
banister and comes over to hug Bella] Alice Cullen: Happy
Birthday! Bella Swan: Shh,
shh. [Alice hands Bella a
wrapped birthday
present] Bella Swan: I
thought I said
no presents. Alice Cullen: I've
already
seen you open it, and guess what? You love it! You're gonna wear it
tonight. Our place. [Bella balks, looking
reluctant] Alice Cullen:
Come on, please?
It'll be fun. [standing behind Alice,
Jasper lowers
his head and looks intently at Bella] Bella Swan: Okay.
All right. Alice Cullen:
Great! Okay, I'll
see you at seven. [Alice skips back to
Jasper, and
Bella gets a look as if snapping out of something] Bella Swan:
Jasper! No fair
with the mood control thing. Jasper Hale:
Sorry, Bella.
Happy... [Bella gives him a look] Jasper Hale: Never
mind.
[to Bella] Edward Cullen: You
can't trust
vampires. Trust me.
[reciting Romeo from the
movie Romeo
& Juliette the class has been been watching] Edward Cullen: O,
here. Will I
set up my everlasting rest. And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
from this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your
last embrace! And lips, O you, the doors of breath, seal with a
righteous kiss. A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
[showing Bella a
painting] Edward Cullen: The
Volturi are
a very old, very powerful family, I guess their the closest
thing to royalty my world has. Bella Swan:
Is
that...Carlisle?
Edward Cullen: Yeah.
He lived
with them for a few decades. He describes them as very refined. No
respect for human life, of course, but respect for the arts and
science as at least. And the law, above all of law. Bella Swan: Vampires
have laws? Edward Cullen: Not
very many.
There's only one that's regularly enforced. Bella Swan: What
is it? Edward
Cullen: That we
keep the existence of our kind a secret. We don't make spectacles of
ourselves. And we don't kill conspicuously. Unless, of course, you want
to die.
Edward Cullen: Bella,
the only
thing that can hurt me is you. And I don't have anything else to be
afraid of. Bella
Swan: I
can protect you.
If you change me. Edward Cullen: Bella,
you already do protect me. You're my only reason...to stay alive, if
that's what I am. But it's my job to protect you.
Emmett
Cullen: Dating an older woman? Hot. [Edward scoffs] Emmett Cullen: What?
[handing Bella a box] Alice Cullen: This
is from
Emmett. Emmett Cullen:
Already stalled
it in your truck. Finally a decent sound system in that piece of cra... Bella Swan: Hey,
don't hate
the truck.
[Bella's is trying to
open Esme and
Carlisle's present] Bella Swan: Ow,
paper cut! [Bella finger starts to
bleed and
Jasper suddenly goes wild and tries to attack Bella but Edward stops
him] Alice Cullen: Jas...
Jas!
Shhh...shhhh. It's okay. It's just a little...blood. Dr. Carlisle Cullen:
Get Jasper
out of here. Alice Cullen:
I'm sor...I'm
sorry, I can't.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen:
Jasper
hasn't been away from human blood as long as the rest of us. Bella Swan: How
do you do it? Dr. Carlisle Cullen:
Years
and years of practice.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen:
I knew who
I wanted to be. I wanted to help people. Brings me happiness. Even if
I'm damned about this. Bella Swan: Damned?
Like...like hell? Carlisle, you can't be damned. You couldn't, it's
impossible. Dr. Carlisle Cullen:
Thank you,
Bella. You always been very gracious about us. Bella Swan: So,
that's it?
That's why he won't change me? Dr. Carlisle Cullen: Imagine
the
situation in reverse. If you believed as Edward does, would you take
away his soul?
Bella Swan: You
can't protect
me. From everything. At some point, somethings gonna separate us. It's
gonna be an accident, or illness, or old age. As long as I'm human. And
the only solution is to change me. Edward Cullen: That's
not a
solution, it's a tragedy. Bella Swan: You're
not gonna
love me when I look like a grandmother.
Bella
Swan: It's
still my
birthday. Can I ask one thing? Kiss me? [Edward kisses her] Bella Swan: I
love you. Edward Cullen: I
love
you.
Edward Cullen: We
got to
leave Forks. Bella Swan: Why? Edward Cullen: Carlisle's
supposed to be ten years older than he looks. People are starting to
notice. Bella Swan: Okay,
I...I gotta
think of something to say to Charlie. When you say "we"... Edward Cullen: I
mean to
my family and myself.
Edward Cullen: You
just don't
belong to my world, Bella. Bella Swan: I
belong with you. Edward Cullen: No,
you don't. Bella Swan: I'm
coming. Edward Cullen: Bella.
I don't
want you to come. Bella Swan: You
don't want me? Edward Cullen: No. Bella Swan: This
changes
things. All right. Edward Cullen: But
if it's not
too much to ask...can you at least promise me something? Don't do
anything reckless. For Charlie's sake. And I'll promise something to
you in return. This is the last time you'll ever see me. I won't come
back. And you can go on with your life...without any interference from
me. It will be like...I never existed, I promise.
Edward Cullen: You're
just not good
for me. Bella Swan: I'm
not good
enough for you? Edward Cullen: I'm
just sorry,
I let this go on for so long. Bella Swan: Please...don't. Edward Cullen: Goodbye. [he kisses her
forehead
and walks
away] Bella Swan: Edward?
Edward!
Edward!
[reading from the email
that she's
written to Alice but can't send to her] Bella Swan: [voice over]
Alice, you've disappeared. Like everything else. But who else can I
talk to? I'm lost. When you left...and he left. You took everything
with you. But the absence of him is everywhere I look. It's like a huge
hole has been punched through my chest. But in a way I'm glad. The pain
is my only reminder that he was real...that you all were.
Bella Swan: I'm
not leaving
Forks. Charlie Swan:
Bells...he's not
coming back. Bella Swan: I
know. Charlie Swan: It's
just not
normal, this behavior. Quite frankly, it's scaring the hell outta me,
and you Mother. Baby, I...I don't want you to leave. I don't.
But...just go. Go to Jacksonville, make some new friends. Bella Swan: I
like my old
friends.
[talking to Bella whose
walking
silently by her] Jessica:
I don't know why you wanna sit through all those zombies eating people,
and no hot guys kissing anybody. It's gross. Like why are there that
many zombie movies anyway? Is it supposed to like draw a parallel about
leprosy? My cousin had leprosy, it's not funny, you know? And like is
it supposed to be a metaphor for consumerism? Because don't be so
pleased with your own like...self-reverential cleverness, you know?
Like, some girls like to shop. Not all girls, apparently. Although I
was surprised you even called at all, you know? Like, your depression
thing. I'm totally, totally worried. After a while, it's like, she's
still bumming? And I'm going through stuff too, you know? Like Mike
deciding he wanted to "I just be friends? " That's hard, you know?
[Bella sees Edward
apparition when
she walks over to some Bikers] Edward Cullen: You
promised me
nothing reckless. Bella Swan: You
promised, it
would as you never existed. You lied.
[after going on a ride
with some
biker she's just met] Jessica: Hey,
um, what the
hell is wrong with you? Just curious. Bella Swan: I
thought that I
saw something. Jessica: You're
insane,
actually. Or suicidal. That homeboy could have been a psycho. I was
about to end up in a FBI interview room, like some lame TV
show. Bella Swan: Oh,
that was such
a rush. Jessica: Awesome!
So, you're
an
adrenaline junky now? That's cool! You can go bungee jumping. You don't
get on the back of some random loser's motorcycle! Crazy!
Bella Swan: [voice over]
Alice, I saw him. Maybe I'm crazy now, but I guess that's okay. If the
rush of danger is what it takes to see him...then that's what I'll find.
Bella Swan: I...uh
brought you
something. Jacob Black: Okay. Bella Swan:It's
a little
crazy. Jacob Black: Wow,
scrap metal!
You shouldn't have. Bella Swan: I
saved them from
the junkyard. I think, they'll probably cost more to fix than they're
worth.
Jacob Black: Since
when are
you into motorcycles? Bella Swan: Since
now. I get
it if you think that this is really stupid and reckless. Jacob Black: Yeah,
it's
completely stupid and reckless. When do we start?
Bella Swan: Jake,
you're like
buff. How that can happen? You're like 16, I don't get it. Jacob Black: Age
is just a
number, baby. What, you're like 40, now? Bella Swan: Feels
like that
sometimes.
Bella Swan: So
I was thinking,
if we're gonna do this everyday, and hopefully we will, we have to,
like, fit some homework in there somewhere. I don't want Billy thinking
that I'm a bad influence on you. Jacob Black: You
influence me?
Please. Bella Swan: Are
you...? I'm
older than you. So that makes me the influencer and you the influencee. Jacob Black: No,
no, no. My
size and knowledge base actually makes me older than you. Because of
your gentle paleness and lack of know-how. Bella Swan: I
convinced you to
build two-wheeled death machines with me. Don't you think that makes
you funny, young and naive? Jacob Black: Okay.
So, where
do we stand? Bella Swan: I'm
thirty
five and you might be like thirty two. Jacob Black: Come
on!
Quil Ateara: So
the bike
building story is true. Bella Swan: Oh,
yeah, yeah! I
taught him everything he knows. Quil Ateara: What
about the
part where you're his girlfriend? Bella Swan: Uh,
we're friends,
you know? Embry Call:
Oooh. Burn! Jacob Black: Actually,
I
remember, I said she's a girl and a friend. Quil Ateara: Embry,
do you
remember him making that distinction? Embry Call: Nope!
Bella Swan: [voice over]
Dear Alice, I wish, I had your real address. I wish, I could tell you
about Jake. He makes me feel better. I mean, he makes me feel alive.
The hole in my chest...while when I'm with Jake, it's...it's like, it
almost healed. For a while.
