New Moon Unofficial Film Script — Close to Home (Part 3)
SEQ. EXT. La Push Beach. Afternoon. Jacob and Bella walk along the beach. Bella notices the figures on top of the cliff. She stares, horrified, when one of them decides to leap.
BELLA
NO! Don’t jump!JACOB
Bella, it’s okay. They’re just cliff diving.BELLA
Oh. Wow. It’s so high. Have you ever tried it?JACOB
Yeah, it’s fun. A little scary, kind of a rush.BELLA
Jake, I want to try cliff diving.
Bella goes towards the base of the cliffs. Jacob catches her by the arm and stops her.
JACOB
Bella, wait. Not today, all right?BELLA
(stubbornly) Fine. But I want to go soon.JACOB
(warily) Soon. Sometimes you’re a little strange, Bella. Do you know that?BELLA
Sure, sure.JACOB
Bella, can you do something for me?BELLA
If I can.JACOB
Remember that first time we were here?BELLA
Yes.JACOB
Can you try and remember everything I’ve said?BELLA
I don’t think that’s a good idea, Jake.JACOB
Please try. It’s really important. (changing the subject) Come to the garage right after school tomorrow. I have a surprise for you.BELLA
I hope it’s a reckless surprise.
Bella laughs.
JACOB
Oh, it’s reckless alright.
Jacob raises his commuter mug.
JACOB
But, here’s to responsibility. Tutoring twice a week.BELLA
And recklessness every day in between.
Bella raises her own commuter mug so that they can have a mock toast.
SEQ. INT. Cullens Living Room. Alice is partially distressed.
ROSALIE
(disparagingly) Bella disappeared again? Losing your touch, Alice?ALICE
I’m missing so many things. I feel so useless. So… normal.ROSALIE
I can’t imagine how awful that must feel.ESME
Rosalie, stop baiting your sister.
SEQ. EXT. Dirt road. Bella is on a bike with blue ribbons on the handlebars, with Jake keeping it balanced.
JACOB
Okay, where’s the brake?BELLA
Behind my right foot.JACOB
Nope.
Jacob curls his hand over her right hand, which brings his body very close to Bella’s. She gets a little bit distracted with his warmth and proximity.
JACOB
This is the brake you want. Don’t use the back brake now. That’s for later, when you already know what you’re doing.BELLA
Uh-huh.JACOB
Easy on the clutch. Okay, go for it…
Bella slowly releases the clutch. The bike is a little bit wobbly at first, and then, she gets her balance and starts moving forward. Jacob whoops in the background. Edward runs alongside the bike.
EDWARD
This is reckless and childish and idiotic, Bella.
Bella smiles wider as she goes faster. She has a flashback of traveling on Edward’s back through the tress. The feel of the wind on her face and through her hair makes Bella laugh out loud.
EDWARD
Bella, watch out for the turn. Brake gently. Bella!
Bella turns the handlebars away from the curve and mistakenly steps on the foot brake instead of using the hand brake. The bike spins and lands on top of her. Jacob hurriedly arrives with her truck. He rushes to Bella, who’s face down on the ground.
JACOB
Bella! Are you okay?
Jacob turns her over. Bella starts laughing.
JACOB
Where are you hurt?
Bella laughs harder.
BELLA
I’m great! Let’s do it again!
Jacob grins and impulsively hugs her.
BELLA
Jake…can’t breathe.JACOB
Oops… Sorry. Hey, you did such a great job, let’s add a couple of years. You’re now twenty to my forty!
Bella punches him playfully and hurts herself. Jacob takes her fist and kisses her knuckles to make it better.
SEQ. INT. School stage. Rehearsal for Romeo and Juliet. Bella and some of her classmates are waiting for their cue for the set change.
TYLER / FRIAR LAURENCE
Now must I to the monument alone;
Within three hours will fair Juliet wake:
At the end of Friar Laurence’s line, everyone tries to push the set onstage. Despite their efforts, the large set of Juliet’s tomb doesn’t move.
BELLA
What’s wrong?ERIC
I don’t know.BELLA
I’ll pull from the front.
As Bella stations herself on the side nearest the stage, a sudden force on the set from the other side moves the set forward by several feet, almost crushing Bella, who is right in its path. Edward pushes at the set.
EDWARD
Stop! You’re going to crush Bella!TYLER
Stop pushing, guys!ERIC
Bella, are you okay? (to Tyler) We weren’t pushing!TYLER
Then how do you explain the fact that the set is now here?
Tyler points to the onstage area.
ERIC
I don’t know!BELLA
Guys, no harm done. I’m okay.
SEQ . EXT. Meadow. Bella and Jacob enter the meadow. Jacob is consulting the compass.
BELLA
This is it.JACOB
Pretty place.
Jacob looks around and then taps side of his head.
JACOB
Good thing I have a great memory. The coordinates to this place will be no problem for me, so we can always go back to it.
Bella has a flashback of the special moments she and Edward shared at the meadow. She hugs her constricting chest. Jacob immediately notices her movement and tries to pry her arms away unsuccessfully. He settles for hugging her instead to comfort her.
JACOB
Bells, you okay?BELLA
I don’t think I’ll ever come back. I just wanted to see if it was real.
Jacob tilts her face up.
JACOB
Bella, tell me something.BELLA
What?JACOB
You like me, right?BELLA
You know I do.JACOB
Better than any of the other guys you know?BELLA
Yeah. Better than any of the girls I know too.JACOB
But that’s all.BELLA
Yes.
Jacob moves away. Bella hugs herself tighter from the loss of his warmth.
JACOB
It’s still the other one, isn’t it? That’s okay. As long as you like me the best. I’m not giving up. I’m prepared to be annoyingly persistent.BELLA
You shouldn’t waste your time on me.JACOB
It’s my time to waste. Besides, it’s what I want to do. As long as you still like to be with me.BELLA
I can’t imagine how I could not like being with you.JACOB
Cool.
Jacob takes her hand gently.
JACOB
Is this okay?BELLA
Yes.JACOB
I promise that I’ll always be here. You can always count on me.BELLA
I know that, Jake. And, I already do count on you, probably more than you know.
SEQ. INT. Cullen Living Room. Alice comes out of her trance.
ALICE
Bella’s disappearing more regularly now. For longer periods. Total blackout. Then she comes back. What does it mean?CARLISLE
Until we know more, we will not act. What’s important is Bella does comes back.
SEQ. EXT. Swan yard. Morning. Bella is standing silently in front of the trashcan. Then she takes out Edward’s CD and deliberately breaks it into half, then throws the pieces into the garbage can. She takes a glance at the birthday pictures and then tears them up into non-salvageable pieces. Bella smiles at what she has done.

Thanks for reading it!
January 18th, 2009 at 4:31 am

January 18th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Any time…
February 3rd, 2009 at 4:49 am
You know where I can get the official script for New Moon?
February 22nd, 2009 at 6:20 am
Is this the real script? Or is this just something you created for fun? It is very interesting, and I like it. so i’m hoping this is the real script.
February 22nd, 2009 at 7:51 am
Hi Twilighter. Yes, I wrote this for fun. This is an UNOFFICIAL script version written by me — Lorna Lopez. This is NOT the Melissa Rosenberg script.
I’m glad you liked it!
February 25th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Please dont think I copied you but this gave me inspiration to write my own. Xp. It’s not like yours, I swear. And, again, same as you, im doin it for fun.
February 25th, 2009 at 9:49 am
I’m glad you were inspired to write your own New Moon script, Kelsey. Good luck!
March 21st, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I love this script! the only thing that needs to be changed is not implying the age thing. at first people that haven’t read the book won’t know what they’re talking about. Other than that its good. i also love the quotes from the book with jacob!
March 23rd, 2009 at 8:54 am
this is so depressing, jacob edward bella. makes me wanna cry!
but i love it! your good!
=))
March 26th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
I like the Romeo and Juliet part but what I don’t like was when Victoria showed up at the cliff. It totally change the real reason why Bella would jump off the cliff. And the scene where Bella woke up and Alice was right there in her house. I still like the one in the book where Jacob was giving her a ride back home and Bella saw the black mercedes at her drive way. I also don’t like the part where Alice told Bella “he’s my brother” I like the original version of that. I think its still better to stick with Stephenie’s story, Bella should be eager to go to Italy to rescue Edward from the Volturri and show like a flash back her moment with Edward when Edward was telling him about losing her that he’ll go to Volturri. I just hope that the movie will not be that different from the book.
April 8th, 2009 at 12:13 am
omg this is amazing i love it please write more.:)
April 8th, 2009 at 1:45 am
i think this is really bad.
its changed so much from new moon! whats the point of changing the storyline, when theres no need? us fans are fans of stephenie meyer’s story, not an entirely different one.
the changes are actually laughable.
i cant believe people say they love this.
TWILIGHT FAN
April 10th, 2009 at 3:06 am
melissa rosenberg’s version wouldnt be THIS good. If you notice in the Twilight movie script, she did alot of changes & barely stayed within the book contexts. The part where Edward say’s “Its twilight..” at prom.. that should have definately been in the movie!
btw, happy 19th bday kristen stewart!!
April 10th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
I just want to know who Tori is… I’m sitting here trying to think of who that is and it’s BOTHERING me. Please help? I’ll sit here for an hour putting together context clues if someone doesn’t help me and it’s already 3:30 am. lol.
April 10th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
HA. just kidding. shoulda kept reading. sorry, idiot observation on my part. ;p
April 10th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Hi Kendall. Tori is the “disguise” name I gave to Victoria, which is a common nickname for someone with that name. She called herself Tori when she enrolled at Forks High School, but, in the cliff scene, she reveals who she really is.
Please remember this is my script version for the visual medium of film to add visual drama. You may find lots of changes that you may disagree with. Thank you for understanding.
P.S. It may help if you read Parts 1 and 2
April 10th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Hahaha sorry, yeah I read 1 and 2 and I caught onto the nickname thing and cover up when i kept reading.. i’m kind of dense. lol. but yeah this is very very good… a little confusing and different with the whole he can summon himself and breathe air into her type thing but other than that it’s very well put together and i like it. personally, i think there were some changes i would have liked to make to her book so straying from the story line wouldnt have been a bad idea for the actual movie at all… like he should have been watching her the entire time he was “gone” or some other things. but yes, that was a tangeant[sp?]
anyways, very good. go into screenwriting. you’re talented at it. (:
April 12th, 2009 at 9:07 am
Did I miss something? I read all 4 books but I can’t remember a scene where they’re in a play as Romeo and Juliet, like the one above? Was that a made up one?
Sorry just a little confused.
April 12th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Hi Isabel. Since New Moon has so many scenes that are so obviously based on Romeo and Juliet, I used artistic license to meld the two.
April 12th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Oh LOL…sorry! I thought this was the script that are being used in the actual movie!!!! Sorry!
April 12th, 2009 at 11:09 am
i dont get it! isnt she supposed to be like “jake please dont leave me” and all that jazz????and then she has to guess his secret just so she can stay wit him????and when did they KISS??? sorry if i spoil this part but arent they supossed to make out in the 3rd book??!!!i just dont get it?? help me!!
April 12th, 2009 at 11:24 am
i mean dont get mme wrong twilight i like this “script” and all it just doesnt make sense!!! this will be my 4th time reading new moon,and i know you just wrote it for fun, but i think i like the book a little better!!! i mean i really do love this script it made me cry when he left, but i also cried when jacob said that to her!!!i mean i love that theyre switching up the roles and i ESPECIALLY love that you put the cullens in this more then the book does!!!!!but why is tori in school now i thought she was on a killing rampage with laurent?i just need some help here?i need to know more!!!write to me about the script k?!?!?! thank you
April 12th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Twilight babe, you need to remember that the film medium is a VISUAL one while a book is a literary one. Film scripts must tell the story differently so one cannot expect the details, for example as to when the kiss should be, to be strictly followed. You may want to read my notes again on page 7 so you’ll understand my intentions. Thank you very much.
April 12th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
im just confused right now!!! i mean i cant wait til this movie comes out!!! im skipping part of my school day just to see the movie at midnight!! and i hope that one of the twilight hotties(talkin bout the guys) will read this and be like whoa, this is really good and use some of your script!!!that would be so cool!!!then i would know the lines!!!but yeah i do understand that it cant be all about the book!!!you have to have new stuff in the movie!! but the girl who actually wrote the script sucks!!in the first movie she left out a good part!!!and then i read this and im astonished!!!you are waaaaayyyy better the her!!! you didnt miss almost one thing!!!i gotta a ?,are you gonna write scripts for eclipse and breaking dawn!!!?????
April 16th, 2009 at 7:58 am
i dont think that this script is very well done. It doesnt follow the book at all. But either way its not the real script, thats for a fact.
April 17th, 2009 at 1:11 am
SOOOOOO GOOD!!!
April 20th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
ok so, i love that someone like you is actually out there, and who will spend so much time on something like this to help twilight fans with the addiction. so the first thing i want to say is thank you! now my comments =) i understand that the book is going to have to be modified somewhat because it needs to be visual, but i think it’s possible to keep some scenes more loyal to the book (i.e.- scene with jacob in her bedroom, or when bella supposed to WANT to save edward) Also, i think that the tori idea was definitely creative, but i don’t think it’s necessary- she hunts bella vigorously in the third, so that would be too much. Besideds, the whole tori thing takes away the real reason why bella jumps. it has to be about seeing edward through adrenaline, not victoria-induced. Anyhoo, i could probably write another five pages, and alot of it would be god comments too =) you really do have a talent, twilight. keep up the good work, and thanks again!
May 5th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Im sorry but this is so not like the book in some ways its better but over all i truely think it could be btter if you made it more like the book.Idk maybe i will have to see it done and put together.I do like the fact you did put edward in most of it that is great but when you change alot of it, it loses the way we would see it in our heads as we read it. I think when edward tells bella goodbye it was great the way stephenie wrote it chaning it just loses the sadness bella has.
May 7th, 2009 at 11:13 am
omgomgomg
he kisses her? what
omgomgomg
my heart just skipped a beat
[team jacobbb]
May 8th, 2009 at 7:59 am
YAY i hope its betta than the 1st one but robert pattinson is still cute LOL
May 10th, 2009 at 1:27 am
Your script is good, but I truly hope this is not how the movie will play out, you have changed so many important parts, that are in the book, which is what inspired the movie to be made… You have forgotten to add certain people, and your all wrong with Seth and Leah…It’s all wrong, I am sorry to be the hateful one here, but I am sure changing so many things will make for a lot of unhappy Twilight Saga fans.
May 13th, 2009 at 6:57 am
I like this alot! One thing I would change is how formal it all sounds… the conversations should flow a bit better like when Jacob says “I discovered last year they were all too true. When I reached manhood, I turned into a werewolf. Werewolves only exist because vampires do.” It sounds like he is a different person than Jake… And Bella’s line “You mean the presence of vampires brings out the wolves in your tribe?” Sounds like she is too informed already… Other than that its fantastic! (sorry if you think im to critcal… i know i never could do this well… just pointers…). Thanks for the entertainment:)-Emily
May 13th, 2009 at 7:04 am
O and was mark a new character or a mistake on mike? or am i just forgetting someone?
May 13th, 2009 at 7:12 am
Thanks for the heads up, Emily Cullen. It’s Mike. Typo error on my part. Edited it. Thanks again!
May 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
ok so now i’m sorta lost. when it says that edwards their, he’s not really, is he? also when it’s talking abot the wolves healing, instead of them saying have like a screenshot showing Sam’s wound healing.
May 15th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Hi Bobby. When you reach the end of the script, I have notes that will say Edward is not really there but just a figment of Bella’s subconscious. However, the audience will be left guessing if he’s really there or not. The ‘real’ Edward is usually alone or with another Cullen.
And, yes, definitely there will be a screen shot of the wound healing, where to put it exactly is at the discretion of the director and editor.
June 7th, 2009 at 12:35 am
OMG!!!!!!!! This is an ahhh-mayy-zinnnggg script. I’m so happy i found it? Will there be any more postings?
June 7th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Thanks so much, Nessie Cullen! The plan is to write until Breaking Dawn. I don’t exactly when though. Thanks again for reading!
June 11th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
omigaaad!
i love every single part
EXCEPT
the part where bella and [the] d-g KISSS!!!!!!!
ARGH!!!!!!
June 17th, 2009 at 7:11 am
hehe…
June 17th, 2009 at 7:15 am
anyway soo just to let everbody know i dnt like these scripts!!!!”i mean u cant always have it like the book” but that new director is keeping it as close to the book a possible!!!!!i know it cant be the same but at least have some of the stuff!!!!!
June 17th, 2009 at 7:16 am
have a great summer!!!love mrs.cullen black
June 26th, 2009 at 8:33 am
Hi,
Okay, At first i really liked the script and i am still in love with the ending, dont get me wrong. But i really dont like the kissing part between jacob and bella becuse, like many people said, It doesnt happen till somewhere in the middle of the 3rd book. I also am very confused cause outta nowhere there is this Tori chic. Who the Heck? I already knew who it was but it totally changes her original reason for jumping off. Just For Fun. But it is very good with the fact it isnt real and the fact it was for fun. Ask Stephanie meyer, You can find a great cereer ( spellin?)by doing something just for fun.I like the factr that yo used some of the quotes from the book, but i have read the book a countless number of times and some things dont make sense. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the ending. it is soooo sweet. I am a Hopless romantic, and it is jus so sweet. I almost started crying happy tears. but what it boils down to is great job, just very confusing, and i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the ENDING. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!! Masterpeice.
July 15th, 2009 at 7:12 am
I dont think she would break the cd in half or rip the photos because she really misses him
August 20th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Can somebody tell me where Edward is?
October 12th, 2009 at 3:05 am
So fake but goodbut fake
January 8th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
The Twilight film is the nonpareil! The continuous battle amongst the vampires and werewolves makes it baffling to figure which faction to rise to. I’ve gathered all about the quileute legends. Twilight kindles excitement within me with these distorted tales.
