New Moon Unofficial Film Script — Romeo Must Not Die (Part 4)

SEQ. EXT. Volterra Courtyard. Noon. Edward clasps Bella’s face between his hands and looks down at her tenderly.

EDWARD
Isabella…

Edward lowers his face near her lips and inhales her breath.

EDWARD
Death, that hath suck’d the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.

Edward inhales her scent.

EDWARD
You smell just exactly the same as always. So maybe this is hell. I don’t care. I’ll take it.

BELLA
Edward, I’m alive! I’m right here beside you!

Bella takes Edward’s hand and puts it over her heart.

BELLA
Touch me, Edward! Feel my heart beating!

Edward lifts Bella until he could lay his ear against her chest, listening to her beating heart.

EDWARD
Beautiful Bella. Is this some strange form of deranged death?

Bella grabs his face to force him to look at her.

BELLA
I’m alive! Edward, please believe me!

EDWARD
Amazing…

Bella catches a glimpse of a movement of dark cloaks. She tries to push Edward into moving, to no avail.

BELLA
We have to get out of here! C’mon! The Volturi are –

Edward stiffens, throws his red cloak over himself, puts Bella under the cloak with him and begins to walk swiftly through the crowd. The multitude of red cloaks and clothing partially hide them, but, still, Edward changes directions several times as the ways out of the city are blocked by the Volturi. As they are cornered, Edward ducks into an alley, where a dark figure is waiting for them at the far end.

Lorna Lopez aka ATwilightKiss Notes

While I was in the Philippines, I searched for the New Moon dolls, since the Toys R Us in Singapore have no intention of bringing in the figures as of November 2009 (they might change their minds).

So, I have now in my possession Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, Jacob Black and Alice Cullen.

I would like to thank my sister-in-law Evelyn and my niece Kara for accompanying me during my search, and they were the ones who found Bella and Jacob in another store when Toys R Us Galleria went out of stock.

New Moon Dolls — Edward Tells Bella to Stay with Jacob

Lorna Lopez — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:10:17 +0000

This is an excerpt from Part 3 of my New Moon Unofficial Script

SEQ . EXT. Swan porch. Alice strides out with light bags. Bella follows hurriedly and trips on the threshold. Jacob, who is waiting on the porch, catches her.

JACOB
Bella.

As Bella looks up, she realizes that Jacob’s dark eyes are glistening with tears.

JACOB
I’m begging, Bella. Don’t go. Don’t.

Bella gently intertwines her fingers with his to remove it from her face.

BELLA
Jake, I have to –

JACOB
No, you don’t. You really don’t. You could stay here. With me.

BELLA
With you…

JACOB
Bella, please. Please stay. Stay alive. For me.

Edward slowly approaches from her back and murmurs in her ear.

EDWARD
Bella, love, I only desire your happiness. With Jacob, you can have a normal life. Having children, a house, growing old together, and watching your grandchildren running around…

Dreamy images of her life together with Jacob flash in her mind’s eye as Edward describes the tranquil scene.

EDWARD
Your beautiful soul will be intact.

BELLA
(to Jacob) I’m in shattered pieces.

JACOB
I’ll put you back together. Just like a porcelain doll.

Jacob caresses her cheek and lowers his head.

JACOB
True love.

BELLA
First kiss.

Jacob gently touches his lips to Bella’s. Edward’s pain is in his eyes.

EDWARD
Stay. And be happy.

Alice materializes from the darkness, her face tormented.

ALICE
Bella? Please. He’s my brother.

Bella moves away from Jacob’s embrace. Edward steps in front of her.

EDWARD
I would rather hurt myself than see you hurt in any way. Your life and your safety will always come first. Stay, Bella.

Bella turns and reaches out to Jacob.

New Moon Dolls — Alice Returns to Forks

Lorna Lopez — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:03:20 +0000

This is an excerpt from Part 3 of my New Moon Unofficial Script

SEQ. INT. Swan Living Room. Jacob is shaking from his emotions of almost losing Bella. Alice realizes the danger and comes out of her vision.

ALICE
Control yourself! Think of Bella!

JACOB
I would never hurt Bella!

ALICE
Like the way your pack almost killed her when you attacked me?

JACOB
We didn’t know she would do anything so reckless and stupid!

Bella steps in between Alice and Jacob.

BELLA
Hold it! Charlie’s house is neutral country. Understood?

Alice and Jacob back off.

BELLA
(to Jacob) And, I am not reckless and stupid.

JACOB
Then what do you call jumping in front of five attacking werewolves?

Before Bella could answer, the telephone rings.

ALICE
(moaning) I’ve been so blind. Blind! I didn’t see any of these!

Bella motions to Jake to answer the phone while she comforts Alice.

BELLA
Alice, you cannot possibly see everything.

Alice and Bella couldn’t help overhearing Jacob’s raised voice.

JACOB
Charlie is at the funeral!

Jacob bangs down the phone. Alice starts to moan incoherently.

BELLA
Alice, what’s wrong?

ALICE
It’s Edward.

Summit Entertainment Claims Copyright Infringement with My Unofficial New Moon Script

Lorna Lopez — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:27:30 +0000

I got a surprise when I visited my YouTube account recently. YouTube notified me that Summit Entertainment is claiming copyright infringement with the video preview of Part 1 of my Unofficial New Moon script — Severed Ties, which had some lines from the birthday party of Bella Swan.

It was a surprise because the unofficial script was published on 05 December 2008, way before any of the New Moon trailers and script leaks came out and, as far as I know, is very far from the Melissa Rosenberg treatment.

Anyway, I did not dispute the claim because Summit Entertainment does own all The Twilight Saga characters, but, I’m wondering why they bothered with my preview. And, I’d like to point out that there were no complaints with previews of Parts 2, 3 and 4, just 1. It’s a mystery that I may never solve. Of course, it also set me to thinking whether I should even bother with writing the unofficial scripts of Eclipse and Breaking Dawn

That aside, if you wish to read my New Moon Unofficial Script, I’ve provided the links below. Purists beware. If you wish to see a close adaptation of the book, then you won’t find it in the script. LOL

Bella Swan and Edward Cullen Dolls in New Moon Puppet Sequences

Lorna Lopez — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 13:52:12 +0000

Photo Courtesy of E!

Through the bellaandedward.com site, I have learned that the Bella Swan and Edward Cullen Dolls are now ready for pre-order from Hot Topic. However, their version of Bella looks like a disgruntled angry person, not like the doll shown above. To view, please click here. (I wonder if this is the final revised version for all stores.)

Nevertheless, I’m seriously thinking about purchasing the Bella Swan and Edward Cullen Dolls because I can stage puppet shows of some of the sequences from my New Moon Unofficial Film Script. LOL (I’ll have to save up for this though and plan how to ship it here to the Philippines through someone who’s coming from the US or something.)

In the meantime, here’s a Bella and Edward sequence from the New Moon Unofficial Film Script — Romeo Must Not Die (Part 4)

VOLTERRA NOON SEQUENCE — BELLA STOPS EDWARD FROM COMMITTING SUICIDE

SEQ. EXT. Volterra Courtyard. Two minutes before noon.

ALICE
The Volturi are everywhere! Go towards the clock tower.

Alice points to the clock tower.

ALICE
He’s in the alley. Run, Bella!

The Volturi is directed by a cloaked figure to capture Alice, deeming her the more dangerous of the two. Alice thwarts their attempts by deliberately focusing attention on herself by joining a man on stilts and doing tricks. With the crowds looking on and clapping, the Volturi is halted in their tracks.

Meanwhile, Bella is immediately swallowed by the crowds. She goes through the fountain to cut through the courtyard. Bella stumbles to the ground. A Volturi guard almost catches her but Alice goes into his path. The clock begins to ring the twelve chimes to signal the noon hour.

Edward steps out from the alley. Bella recovers from her fall, runs and crashes into him.

SEQ. EXT. Volterra Courtyard. Noon. Edward clasps Bella’s face between his hands and looks down at her tenderly.

EDWARD
Isabella…

Edward lowers his face near her lips and inhales her breath.

EDWARD
Death, that hath suck’d the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.

Edward inhales her scent.

EDWARD
You smell just exactly the same as always. So maybe this is hell. I don’t care. I’ll take it.

BELLA
Edward, I’m alive! I’m right here beside you!

Bella takes Edward’s hand and puts it over her heart.

BELLA
Touch me, Edward! Feel my heart beating!

Edward lifts Bella until he could lay his ear against her chest, listening to her beating heart.

EDWARD
Beautiful Bella. Is this some strange form of deranged death?

Bella grabs his face to force him to look at her.

BELLA
I’m alive! Edward, please believe me!

EDWARD
Amazing…

Bella catches a glimpse of a movement of dark cloaks. She tries to push Edward into moving, to no avail.

BELLA
We have to get out of here! C’mon! The Volturi are –

Reading Wuthering Heights Scared Me

Lorna Lopez — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 06:18:52 +0000

Since Wuthering Heights was featured prominently in the Eclipse book, I downloaded an online version of the tragic love story of Heathcliff and Catherine from publicliterature.org in preparation for writing the film script.

A part of me briefly wondered why I don’t recall reading the English classic. Upon reaching Chapter 3 of Wuthering Heights, I remembered why (scaredy-cat that I am, I had pushed the memory aside).

Here’s the passage that made me stop reading immediately.

“This time, I remembered I was lying in the oak closet, and I heard distinctly the gusty wind, and the driving of the snow; I heard, also, the fir bough repeat its teasing sound, and ascribed it to the right cause: but it annoyed me so much, that I resolved to silence it, if possible; and, I thought, I rose and endeavoured to unhasp the casement. The hook was soldered into the staple: a circumstance observed by me when awake, but forgotten. ‘I must stop it, nevertheless!’ I muttered, knocking my knuckles through the glass, and stretching an arm out to seize the importunate branch; instead of which, my fingers closed on the fingers of a little, ice-cold hand! The intense horror of nightmare came over me: I tried to draw back my arm, but the hand clung to it, and a most melancholy voice sobbed, ‘Let me in – let me in!’ ‘Who are you?’ I asked, struggling, meanwhile, to disengage myself. ‘Catherine Linton,’ it replied, shiveringly (why did I think of LINTON? I had read EARNSHAW twenty times for Linton) – ‘I’m come home: I’d lost my way on the moor!’ As it spoke, I discerned, obscurely, a child’s face looking through the window. Terror made me cruel; and, finding it useless to attempt shaking the creature off, I pulled its wrist on to the broken pane, and rubbed it to and fro till the blood ran down and soaked the bedclothes: still it wailed, ‘Let me in!’ and maintained its tenacious gripe, almost maddening me with fear. ‘How can I!’ I said at length. ‘Let ME go, if you want me to let you in!’ The fingers relaxed, I snatched mine through the hole, hurriedly piled the books up in a pyramid against it, and stopped my ears to exclude the lamentable prayer. I seemed to keep them closed above a quarter of an hour; yet, the instant I listened again, there was the doleful cry moaning on! ‘Begone!’ I shouted. ‘I’ll never let you in, not if you beg for twenty years.’ ‘It is twenty years,’ mourned the voice: ‘twenty years. I’ve been a waif for twenty years!’ Thereat began a feeble scratching outside, and the pile of books moved as if thrust forward. I tried to jump up; but could not stir a limb; and so yelled aloud, in a frenzy of fright.”

A moaning ghost with cold fingers also sent me into a frenzy of fright, and, in my particular case, reading the e-book at 10pm was definitely not a good idea. I remembered that I had attempted to read the only novel of Emily Bronte before, but, I skimmed through it after I came upon this frightening chapter.

And, so, just like Charlie Swan in Breaking Dawn, I will only peruse Wuthering Heights on a need to know basis, and I will use the search function with great frequency to avoid any more scary episodes.

SEQ . INT. Yellow Porsche. Bella wakes up to hear a private conversation between Alice and Jasper. Bella is still wearing Jacob’s jacket.

ALICE
I think Bella is the only chance. But, the odds aren’t good. Don’t follow me. I promise, Jasper. One way or another, I’ll get out… And I love you.

Alice cuts off the connection.

ALICE
I hate lying to him.

BELLA
What do you mean?

ALICE
I promised him I would get out before they killed me, too. Bella, let me be very clear. None of us may survive this.

BELLA
Who are these Volturi?

ALICE (V.O. — voice over)
The Volturi have been in existence for more than 3,000 years. The ruling family is comprised of Aro, Caius and Marcus.

Image of the three elders in the Volturi court.

ALICE (V.O. — voice over)
And their wives.

Image of the three wives joining Aro, Caius and Marcus.

ALICE (V.O. — voice over)
However, Marcus’ wife died.

Image of Marcus grieving over the dead body of Didyme.

ALICE (V.O. — voice over)
They are joined by the members of their guard, each with a formidable talent and ability.

Image of the Volturi guard.

ALICE (V.O. — voice over)
Over the millennia, they have assumed the position of enforcing our rules — which actually translates to punishing transgressors. They fulfill that duty decisively.

Images of the Volturi scourging and purging during the vampire wars.

ALICE (V.O. — voice over)
We only have one chance. The Volturi have said no to killing Edward. Aro thinks it’s wasteful.

Images of the Volturi court with Edward supplicating for death and Aro’s refusal.

ALICE (V.O. — voice over)
Edward will force their hand in their own beloved city of Volterra, the city they’ve secretly held for thousands of years. Edward has decided. At noon, he will walk out into the sun.

Images of Edward in the shadow of the alley, watching the approaching sun and the hands of the clock tower moving towards the number 12. The people are in full celebration regalia of red and plastic fangs.

SEQ. EXT. Road. Seven minutes before noon. Bella and Alice are on a country road on the way to Volterra. The yellow Porsche approaches the gates of Volterra. Alice opens the car window for the guard.

GUARD
Only tour buses are allowed in today for St. Marcus Day, miss.

ALICE
It’s a private tour. I’m in a wee bit of a hurry.

Alice smiles and dazzles the guard.

GUARD
Of course, of course. Anything for the beautiful lady.

SEQ. EXT. Volterra Streets. Five minutes before noon. Action sequence wherein the yellow Porsche drives through narrow streets and crowds. The Volturi tries to block them in different ways: sudden movement of crowds, closed gates, attempts to physically stop the car, etc.

SEQ. EXT. Volterra Courtyard. Two minutes before noon.

ALICE
The Volturi are everywhere! Go towards the clock tower.

Alice points to the clock tower.

ALICE
He’s in the alley. Run, Bella!

Edward steps out from the alley. Bella recovers from her fall, runs and crashes into him.

SEQ. EXT. Volterra Courtyard. Noon. Edward clasps Bella’s face between his hands and looks down at her tenderly.

EDWARD
Isabella…

Edward lowers his face near her lips and inhales her breath.

EDWARD
Death, that hath suck’d the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.

Edward inhales her scent.

EDWARD
You smell just exactly the same as always. So maybe this is hell. I don’t care. I’ll take it.

EDWARD
Beautiful Bella. Is this some strange form of deranged death?

Bella grabs his face to force him to look at her.

BELLA
I’m alive! Edward, please believe me!

EDWARD
Amazing…

Bella catches a glimpse of a movement of dark cloaks. She tries to push Edward into moving, to no avail.

BELLA
We have to get out of here! C’mon! The Volturi are –

SEQ. EXT. Alley. Midday. Edward goes deeper into the alley. Alice removes the cover from a drainage and slides into the hole. Bella balks at having to do the same thing.

EDWARD
It’s all right, Bella. Alice will catch you.

Edward releases her wrists to lower her into the hole to follow Alice.

SEQ INT. Drainage pipe. Bella passes through the winding pipe.

SEQ. INT. Subterranean Tunnel. Bella loses her balance as she lands unsteadily on her feet. Alice catches her before she falls.

ALICE
We’re going to try and escape the city through its old subterranean tunnels. Edward has read it in one of the guard’s minds.

The cover is placed over the circle of light, plunging them into darkness. Edward comes through the pipe and is immediately at Bella’s side. Edward flings Bella to his back; and, then, he and Alice begin to run swiftly through the tunnel.

SEQ. INT. Subterranean Tunnel. Edward makes a turn. Alice follows.

EDWARD
The Volturi have a tracker a thousand times more gifted than James. His name is Demetri.

SEQ. INT. Subterranean Tunnel. Demetri is concentrating with a bowed head. The Volturi guards are right behind him, waiting for his orders.

EDWARD (V.O. — Voice Over)
He reads the tenor of someone’s mind, then follows it. His talent works over long distances.

Demetri raises his head and opens his eyes. He gives a small nod to Felix.

FELIX
This way!

The Volturi guards go in the same direction that Edward and company has fled.

SEQ. INT. Subterranean Tunnel. As Edward and Alice run through the tunnel, a figure jumps from above to block their path. Edward and Alice crouch instinctively. Edward relaxes almost immediately. Alice looks askance at him. The figure approaches them confidently, before stopping in front of Alice, and stares into her eyes intently.

JASPER
What makes you think I don’t know when you’re lying to me? I will never let you face any danger without me to protect you.

ALICE
I didn’t want you to get hurt.

JASPER
Don’t you know by now that I would storm the heavens or hell itself to keep you safe? No matter what the cost. Do not attempt ever again to separate yourself from me. Do not ask it of me. I need you. You are my life.

SEQ. INT. Subterranean Tunnel. Edward and company is running, and then come to a sudden standstill. Through their heightened senses, they hear the fast approach of the Volturi guard. Jasper looks at Edward.

EDWARD
You’re right, Jasper.

Edward runs off with Bella, leaving Alice and Jasper behind.

SEQ. INT. Cullen Living Room. Early evening. Carlisle is on the phone, while Esme is seated near him. Rosalie is staring out the window with Emmett nearby.

CARLISLE
Hello, Charlie. I called to let you know that Alice has gotten in touch with us and said that she and Bella are in Italy. I’m sorry, Charlie, but I don’t have any more information. Yes, of course.

Carlisle puts down the telephone.

ROSALIE
None of them might come back. Bella, Edward, Alice, Jasper…

ESME
There must be something we can do.

CARLISLE
I’m afraid we can do nothing but wait. And hope…

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Bella pauses at the edge of the forest. She turns to head back to her truck when she hears pitiful sounds. Concerned, Bella ventures further into the forest. She halts when she sees a dark figure. Then she recognizes him.

BELLA
Laurent!

LAURENT
Forgive me, Bella. When I saw you pass by, I couldn’t resist trying to get your attention.

Although Bella feels a certain unease with his method, she tries to hide it.

BELLA
So what are you doing here? I thought you were in Alaska.

LAURENT
The Denalis are very gracious hosts. (slyly) Will you satisfy my curiosity? I’ve checked the Cullen house a couple of months ago. It’s empty. Did Edward tire of his little pet?

EDWARD
(snarls) Keep away from her!

Edward crouches in front of Bella protectively.

EDWARD
Lie, Bella.

BELLA
The Cullens have moved on but they drop by often. I don’t think I should mention your visit to– to Edward though. He’s still very touchy about James.

LAURENT
I don’t think you’ll be having the opportunity to tell him anything. You see, I’m very thirsty… Since you’re conveniently here and obviously unattached, I might as well kill two birds with one stone.

A slight wind lifts Bella’s hair off her nape. Laurent sniffs the air appreciatively.

LAURENT
Uhmm… You do smell mouthwatering. I have to make my excuses to Victoria for not giving her the pleasure of killing you herself.

Bella instinctively takes a step back from her predator.

BELLA
Victoria?

EDWARD
Don’t move, Bella.

LAURENT
As a favor to Victoria, I’ve been coming to hunt in this area because she wants the authorities diverted from her real activities. Can you guess why? Or should I say who? She’s put out with your Edward for killing James. She wants her revenge. An eye for an eye. A mate for a mate. But her plans may be all for nothing. You must not mean much to Edward if he left you here unprotected.

Bella tries to hide her pain. Laurent stalks Bella until she’s trapped against a tree.

EDWARD
Remind him of the Denalis.

Bella is too petrified with fear.

EDWARD
(urgently) Bella!

BELLA
D– don’t you drink just animal blood now too?

LAURENT
I do.

Laurent caresses the side of her face then trails it down her neck.

LAURENT
But after feasting on human blood for hundreds of years, how can I be satisfied with plain fare?

Laurent lifts the hair off her nape gently.

LAURENT
So there are times when I simply have to cheat. Like now.

Laurent gets distracted by a movement in the forest.

LAURENT
No, I don’t believe it.

Wolf Jacob is immediately in front of Bella and growls at Laurent, who backs away from Bella. The wolves surround Laurent.

LAURENT
Werewolves are supposed to be extinct.

He attempts to fight but the pack overwhelms him. Terrified, Bella watches as the pack attacks and tears Laurent to pieces. She forces herself to move by backing up slowly, and then she begins to run back to her truck.

SEQ . EXT Road. As the truck speeds away from the scene, a plume of smoke is seen rising from the tops of the trees.

SEQ . EXT Police station. Charlie is addressing a small group of men.

CHARLIE
It’s not a bear. An eyewitness has reported that we’re looking for wolves. And not just any ordinary wolves either. These are as big as horses.

Men murmur in reaction to this info.

CHARLIE
Rangers will be going into the forest armed. As volunteers, you will also be armed. Hunters are going in for the reward.

Charlie holds up a flyer offering a reward for wolf carcasses.

CHARLIE
That’s going to mean a lot of firepower. When people get too excited, accidents happen. So look before you shoot.

SEQ. INT. School stage. Rehearsal for Romeo and Juliet. In the audience area, Bella is beside Mr. Berty taking some notes.

MIKE / ROMEO
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

JESSICA / JULIET
Saints do not move, though…

Jessica forgets her lines.

BELLA
(under her breath) …grant for prayers’ sake.

JESSICA
Sorry, Mr. Berty. I forgot again.

Mr. Berty sighs in exasperation.

MR. BERTY
(to Bella) Are you sure you don’t want to play Juliet?

BELLA
I get serious stage fright, Mr. Berty. I’m sorry. I’ll just let everybody down. It’s better that I’m just one of the assistant stage managers.

MR. BERTY
Pity. You know all the lines so well. (to Jessica) From the top, Jessica.

Bella gets up to go backstage.

SEQ. INT. Backstage. Bella notices that the swords are on the wrong side of the stage. She sighs and picks up the swords to bring them to its proper place. Bella trips. The swords fly into the air. Instead of the wooden sound of fake props, the zing of metal is heard as the swords clash into each other. They fall upright, within inches of Bella’s supine form. Edward shields her with his body.

Bella stares at the quivering swords embedded in the floor that could have impaled her to her death.

EDWARD
Bella, are you alright?

Bella stands up gingerly and begins to pry the swords out. Eric and Tyler enter backstage. They see Bella with the armful of swords.

ERIC
I was wondering where the swords are.

TYLER
Hey, great! These swords look real.

Eric and Tyler do a mock fight.

TYLER
Ow! You sliced me, man!

ERIC
I didn’t!

TYLER
Yes, you did! Look!

Tyler shows a bleeding cut on his arm. Bella turns green from the blood and the near-death experience.

ERIC
Get out of here! Or Bella’s gonna hurl!

Tyler runs out.

ERIC
Bella, sit down and put your head between your knees. I’ll get some water.

SEQ a. EXT. Forest. Shots ring out as men shoot at the pack. Seth gets shot. The pack keeps running.

SEQ b. EXT. Sam’s house. The pack morphs into “humans.” Leah immediately goes to Seth.

SAM
Jacob, check on Seth.

Jacob looks at the wound that has already healed into a pink scar.

JACOB
Completely healed. It was just a grazing shot.

PAUL
(laughs) Even if they had fired a hundred shots into the young pup, he would still be alive.

SAM
True.

The pack laughs.

SAM
It is fortunate that the wolf gene allows us to heal very quickly. However, it is unfortunate that the authorities think that we are the ones committing the murders.

LEAH
But we were created to protect human life.

PAUL
And kill bloodsuckers!

SAM
Jake, who is doing the murders now?

JACOB
The female has returned.

LEAH
She will not stop until her mate is avenged.

PAUL
One bloodsucker against a whole pack. Not much challenge in that!

JACOB
Except that this murderous parasite has the talent for escaping. Always.

Jacob growls in frustration.

SEQ . EXT Forest Dream Sequence. Evening. It starts with Edward fighting Laurent, Edward turns into Jacob, Jacob turns into a wolf, wolves run after Laurent, who turns into a vampire with long hair.

VICTORIA
Hello, Bella.

Bella wakes up with a scream. Charlie, who’s used to it by now, doesn’t bother to knock.

SEQ . EXT. Shot of Forks mountains and forest to suggest passage of time.

SEQ . EXT. Forest. Shot of running of what appears to be “human” legs, closely followed by the four-legged kind. More join the hunt until there are at least 5 wolves.

SEQ . EXT. La Push beach. The “human” legs run into the water. Wolf Jacob follows then halts abruptly, turns back, acknowledges the Alpha, and stands at his side. The whole pack stares out to the open sea where the silhouette of a strong swimmer is visible. The pack howls a warning for the intruder.

SEQ . EXT. Open sea. Edward Cullen is driving a powerful motorboat and approaching the harbor.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella lies catatonic on her bed, hugging her torso, staring at nothing. Charlie and Dr. Gerandy talk in hushed whispers just outside her door.

CHARLIE
What’s wrong with her, doc? It’s been a week since Jacob Black found her in the forest. She doesn’t want to eat or sleep. I’m going crazy here. I don’t know what to do. Do we need to hospitalize her?

DR. GERANDY
There’s nothing physically wrong with her. I think what she needs more is someone to talk to.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella is talking to Renee on the mobile phone.

BELLA
I’m fine, Mom.

RENEE
Are you eating? Sleeping well?

BELLA
Yes, mom.

RENEE
I really miss you.

BELLA
Miss you too.

RENEE
How about coming over to Jacksonville, sweetheart?

BELLA
Sure, mom.

RENEE
Well, actually, I didn’t mean just for a vacation. Charlie and I have been talking. We thought it would be best if you moved back in with me. Phil’s really excited to see you.

BELLA
What?!! How dare you make a decision about my life? I’m eighteen, and I can choose what to do! It’s my life! You have no right! I want to stay here in Forks.

Bella cuts off the connection. Charlie knocks on the door. Bella flings it open.

Do you want me out of this house? Why didn’t you say anything? Just give me a little time to look for a place, and –

CHARLIE
Bells, Bells… You’ve got it all wrong. Of course, I want you to stay here. I was just worried that I can’t seem to help you. I just thought your mother can take better good care of you at this time.

BELLA
I’m sorry, Dad. I know I’m being a pain right now.

Charlie awkwardly hugs Bella.

CHARLIE
I wish I can make the pain go away. It’s going to be okay, baby. You’ll be okay.

SEQ . INT. Biology Classroom. Bella automatically goes to the same table that she and Edward used to occupy. She pauses then deliberately sits somewhere else.

ERIC
Hey, Bella. That’s my spot.

Bella doesn’t move.

ERIC
It’s cool. I’ll just go and tell Mr. Molina we’re trading places. It’s okay. You’re still my home girl.

SEQ . EXT. School Hallway. Bell rings. Bella is the first out of the classroom as the hallway fills with students.

SEQ . EXT. School Parking Lot. Bella hurriedly boards her truck. Mike and Angela break away from the group and try to run after her.

ANGELA
Bella!

MIKE
Bells! Wait up!

Jessica jealously pulls Mike back.

JESSICA
What are you doing? You’re making a spectacle of yourself.

Bella ignores them and drives away. Angela stares after her truck.

SEQ a. INT. Bella’s truck. She suddenly spies the new radio / CD player. She pulls over, and tries to remove it. In her attempts, she accidentally presses the play button. Edward’s lullaby fills the truck, which makes her even more frantic to rip out the radio / CD player.

EDWARD
(seated on passenger side) Bella, stop it. You’ll hurt yourself.

Bella pauses, and then continues trying to pull it before finally succeeding.

EDWARD
Love, your hands. You’re bleeding.

Bella reaches towards the passenger side.

EDWARD
No, Bella!

Sorry, dad. It was just a nightmare.

CHARLIE
The same one?

BELLA
Yeah.

CHARLIE
Bella. When your mom and I divorced, I went to– uhm, you know. A shrink.

BELLA
(reluctantly) I’ll check out the school’s guidance counselor tomorrow after my last class.

SEQ . INT. English classroom.

MR. BERTY
Even better than seeing Shakespeare being performed is performing it yourselves.

JESSICA
You mean the guys have to wear tights?!? Oohhh… Nice.

The whole class laughs and jeers. The boys tease and taunt each other.

MR. BERTY
(shakes his head) No need. We can make a modern version of Romeo and Juliet with everybody in jeans and shirts. We’ll study it in class first.

SEQ . EXT. School grounds. Baseball class.

COACH
Bella, don’t hit the ball, okay? Bella, did you hear me?

Bella nods.

COACH
(to the pitcher) Let’s just go for a walk. (under his breath) For safety’s sake.

Bella stands still as the ball passes her. Bella has a flashback of Edward and she driving to the baseball field, Edward fixing the cap on her hair, laughing, etc. During the fourth pitch, she remembers James and his hunt. She accidentally drops the bat on the catcher’s head.

MIKE
OW!

BELLA
I’m sorry.

MIKE
It’s okay. I’m okay!

SEQ . INT. Guidance Counselor’s Office.

COUNSELOR
So, Bella, how did your day go? Is there anything you wanted to talk about?

BELLA
Is it normal to have, uhm, hallucinations? I think there’s something wrong with my brain.

COUNSELOR
Well, it’s very normal to daydream. What do you mean by hallucinations? Would you like to tell me what you saw?

Bella remains silent.

COUNSELOR
That’s alright, dear. When you’re ready.

SEQ a. EXT. Forest campsite.

HANNAH
Matt, are you sure you cleaned the pans? If a bear smells them…

MATT
Yeah, yeah. Hannah, it’s not exactly my first time, you know.

HANNAH
Sorry, there has just been a lot of talk lately about giant grizzly sightings. It’s making me jumpy.

MATT
(teases) And, just like it says in the ‘Top 10 Things to Do to Avoid Bear Attacks,’ I will now go 200 yards away from the campsite to hang the food and pans on a tree.

HANNAH
I’ll go with you.

MATT
Don’t be silly. I’ll be back in a sec.

HANNAH
Hurry back, okay?

MATT
(soothingly) I’ll whistle so you’ll know where I am.

SEQ b. EXT. Forest. An indeterminate shadow is stalking Matt. The shadow attacks. The whistling abruptly stops.

SEQ c. EXT. Forest campsite.

I hate you. Don’t do that e —

Hannah screams as she is attacked as well.

SEQ . INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella wakes up screaming. Charlie knocks.

SEQ 01. INT. Bella’s Bedroom. Bella is in front of the mirror staring at her own image. Edward enters the bedroom, and kisses her gently. As they kiss, Bella ages until she turns to dust, which is blown away by the wind.

BELLA VO (Voice Over)
I’m not afraid of getting older. I’m just scared of losing Edward. I want to be with him forever.

SEQ 02. INT. Cullen’s Dining Room. The room is decorated profusely with pink flowers and candles. The Cullens are gathered around the birthday cake with the number 18 on top.

ALICE
(holding camera) Smile, Bella! It’s your 18th birthday!

BELLA
Alice, I wish you didn’t–

ALICE
(deliberately misunderstanding) You wish for presents? Oh, we have some presents for you too, but you can only open them after blowing out the candles.

EDWARD
Please humor her, Bella. Besides, you should be thankful I stopped Alice from ordering a tent, balloons, an orchestra, and a DANCE floor…

BELLA
Alice, you wouldn’t do that to me!

ESME
Edward baked the birthday cake!

EMMETT
Baking and cooking…

Emmett rolls his eyes and then grabs Edward in a mock wrestling hold.

EMMETT
How about a little wrestling match with me tomorrow, bro?

EDWARD
(laughs) You know I’ll win.

EMMETT
‘Cause you read my mind before I can make my fancy moves. Cheater, cheater…

ESME
Boys, please behave.

CARLISLE
Bella, it would please us very much if we could celebrate this special occasion with you. The last time we had a birthday party was way back in 1935 for Emmett; but, if you would rather not, that would be perfectly fine as well.

BELLA
Of course, I’d love to. You’re like family to me.

As she leans forward, she stumbles. Edward saves her from landing face down on the cake. Embarrassed, Bella blows out the candles.

EDWARD
Happy 18th birthday, my love.

Edward kisses Bella.

BELLA
I hate the fact that I’m one year older than you are.

EDWARD
But, in reality, I’m decades older than you are.

BELLA
Yeah, any human I know who knows that?

ALICE
Time to open presents!

BELLA
(sees the gifts) Oh no, no, no… I don’t want any one spending money on me!

ESME
But it gives us so much joy, Bella.

ALICE
Stop spoiling our fun.

EMMETT
C’mon, birthday girl! Open our gift first! Go on, pull the ribbon! It’s a radio / CD player for your truck! But it’s not really there ‘coz I already installed it in your beat up Chevy when you weren’t looking.

ALL (adlib)
Emmett!
There he goes again.
Can’t you keep a secret?

EDWARD
You might as well tell her my gift is inside the CD player. (to Bella) As instructed, I did not spend any cent.

EMMETT
What? It’s the thought that counts. Pull, pull, pull!

ALL
Pull, pull, pull!

Bella pulls and gets a paper cut.

BELLA
Shoot.

EDWARD
No, Jasper!!!

Edward and Jasper collide and knock Bella onto the glass plates, scattering glass and flower petals, while she cuts herself again. Emmett grabs Jasper while Edward goes into a defensive crouch in front of Bella.

CARLISLE
Emmett! Edward! Please bring Jasper outside. Esme, Alice and Rosalie, please stay in the other room while I take care of Bella.

Carlisle stops the bleeding and starts removing glass splinters from Bella’s arm.

ROSALIE
Good thing I didn’t get you a birthday gift. Who knows what would have happened?

CARLISLE
Rosalie, that’s enough. Bella is our guest.

SEQ 03. INT. Swan’s Kitchen. Charlie is eating something obviously not edible. Edward and Bella enter. Bella goes to clear his plate.

CHARLIE
Happy Birth —

Charlie sees her bandaged arm.

CHARLIE
Bells! What happened? Are you okay? (to Edward) I thought you were going to keep my daughter safe.

EDWARD
I’m sorry, sir. It’s my fault.

BELLA
No! It was just a stupid accident.

CHARLIE
I don’t care whose fault it is. (to Bella) If you’re with him, I expect him to bring you back WITHOUT a scratch. (to Edward) So far, your track record hasn’t been so good. Just recently, she’s gone through a window and broken her leg, which got her hospitalized; and now, as a birthday present, she gets cut badly enough that she requires stitching from a doctor. (holds up three fingers) That’s three strikes. Consider yourself out of the g–

BELLA
Dad, please. It was my fault. I tripped and landed on some glass. Besides, Carlisle sews faster than any doctor I’ve had. It’s no big deal. You know I’m so accident-prone.

CHARLIE
(controls himself and changes the subject) So how was the birthday party?

BELLA
Alice went overboard. Flowers, cake, candles, presents — the whole bit.

CHARLIE
Wow. Where’s the camera I got for you?

BELLA
Here. Plus I got some other gifts I haven’t opened yet. (Edward shows them to Charlie)

CHARLIE
That’s really nice of the Cullens. (asks Edward pointedly) Won’t Carlisle be looking for you?

BELLA
Dad. Edward and I have to watch Romeo and Juliet for our English paper.

CHARLIE
Okay, okay. (to Edward) I’ve got my eye on you. Both of them.

BELLA
(rolls her eyes and gives him a little push) Goodnight, Dad.

EDWARD
Goodnight, Chief Swan.

SEQ . EXT. Forks sky. The moon is nearly in the new moon phase.

SEQ 04. INT. Charlie’s Bedroom. Charlie is asleep and snoring.

SEQ 05. INT. Swan’s Living Room. Edward and Bella are separately seated on the couch while watching Romeo and Juliet. Bella is half-asleep and falls to the side almost hitting her head on the side table. Edward catches her automatically, brings her to his side while still absorbed with the film.

ROMEO / EDWARD
(Edward says the lines along with Romeo)
Ha, banishment! be merciful, say ‘death;’
For exile hath more terror in his look,
Much more than death: do not say ‘banishment.’
‘Tis torture, and not mercy: heaven is here,
Where Juliet lives; and every cat and dog
And little mouse, every unworthy thing,
Live here in heaven and may look on her;
But Romeo may not; he is banished:
And say’st thou yet that exile is not death? (Romeo weeps.)

EDWARD
Banished. Exiled. Death.
