New Moon Unofficial Film Script — Close to Home (Part 3)
SEQ . EXT. Dirt road. Bella drives at a more than normal speed on the bike. A shadow is seen streaking through the trees to follow her. Edward appears running alongside Bella.
EDWARD
Bella, turn the bike around and go back. Do you hear me?
Bella leans over the handlebars and speeds up the motorbike.
SEQ . EXT. La Push path. Bella is struggling up the path, slipping once in a while before determinedly continuing. Another figure is seen following her.
SEQ . EXT. La Push Cliffs. Bella is whipped by the air and pelted by the rain from the coming storm. Edward is furiously striding after her.
EDWARD
(angrily) Stop, Bella! Do you want to kill yourself? Stop this idiotic nonsense right now! Go back to Charlie’s house!
Bella walks slowly to go near the edge to look down at the dark water.
EDWARD
(pleadingly) Bella, honey, please move away from the edge.
Bella steps closer to the edge.
EDWARD
(begging) Love, don’t do this. Please. For me.
A sudden flash of lightning makes Bella involuntarily take a step back.
TORI
I have never seen any human who seems to court death like you do.
It takes a few moments for Bella to realize that there is someone behind her. She turns slowly to see a figure standing several feet away from her.
BELLA
(confused) Tori?
Bella notices the red in her eyes.
BELLA
Your eyes!TORI
The contacts have disintegrated with the venom. Pity. I really liked purple.
Tori takes off her hood to show her short blonde pixie hair.
TORI
And I had to hide my long curly hair too. Just so you won’t recognize me.BELLA
Who– Who are you?TORI
Your Edward killed my mate — James.
Victoria removes the blonde wig and carelessly throws it away. With her signature curly red hair framing her face, Bella easily recognizes her.
BELLA
Victoria!
Bella freezes from fear.
VICTORIA / TORI
When Laurent told me the Cullens were gone, I realized I could easily copy their MO. I enrolled as a transfer student in Forks High School so that I could be nearer my prey.EDWARD
Tell her we’re going to rip her to pieces, Bella!BELLA
If you hurt me, the Cullens will come after you.VICTORIA / TORI
I’m not going to do anything to you. You will do it yourself. Your death will be ruled as an accident. Or a suicide.BELLA
Alice will know the truth.VICTORIA / TORI
No. I don’t think so. I know how Alice’s gift works. You see, Laurent and one of the Denalis have become very close. Whatever she shared with him, Laurent has kindly passed on to me. Very helpful information. I’ve been very careful not to make any decisions. Especially not about hurting or killing you. I’ve kept my distance. I’ve just been very alert for any opportunity.BELLA
You staged those accidents.VICTORIA / TORI
Not really. I merely added to the situation. And left it up to the fates. And your clumsiness.
A flashback of Bella’s recent stage-related “accidents” and Victoria’s hand in it: a change of the swords from wooden to real ones, a laid out cable on the floor to trip her, a weakened balustrade that led to her fall and an almost unseen push to the tomb set to crush her.
VICTORIA / TORI
I have to thank you for letting me play lion to your lamb, Bella. It’s been so entertaining. No wonder the Cullens kept you as a pet. But, this one…
Victoria gestures to the cliff and the sky.
VICTORIA / TORI
I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting. And, the best part is, when Edward learns of it, he’ll think it’s his fault. An eternity of tortured self-remorse and guilt.
Victoria laughs in delight, and then becomes predatory as she moves forward to force Bella to the edge.
VICTORIA / TORI
I’m just a really supportive friend trying to push you in the right direction.
Bella decides to take her chances with the water below. She takes the few running steps that will send her over the edge. Edward tries to grab her but misses.
EDWARD
Nnooooo!!!
Victoria looks down with a satisfied glow in her eyes. Then a sound distracts her and she runs off. A figure comes up from the side of the cliff, and sees the muddy tracks, realizes what happened, and jumps off the cliff to follow Bella.
SEQ a. EXT. La Push waters. Bella tries to swim but the currents are too strong. Bella loses consciousness. Edward materializes in the water, forces air into her lungs by breathing into her mouth and then grabs Bella to begin swimming strongly towards the surface.
SEQ b. EXT. La Push beach. Jacob is performing AR (Artificial Respiration) on Bella.
JACOB
Breathe, Bella! Breathe! For me!
Bella sputters and coughs.
SEQ . EXT. Dirt road. Evening. Jacob holds Bella in front of him as he drives her motorcycle towards his house. To keep her warm, Jacob has wrapped her in his jacket.
JACOB
Hold on, Bella. You’ll be alright.
Jacob reacts to a scent in the air.
JACOB
Vampire!
While the bike is still moving at maximum speed, Jacob hauls Bella to his back, cuts off the engine, leaps into the air and morphs into a wolf. He immediately asks for help from the pack before he even hits the ground running.
WOLF JACOB
A vampire’s after me and Bella!
SEQ . EXT. Forest. Evening. The pack is out on patrol.
WOLF SAM
Head towards Quileute territory!
The wolves howl as they run to meet Jacob.
SEQ . EXT. Forest near the Quileute territory. Evening. Jacob is running swiftly with Bella on his back, and the vampire in close pursuit.
Action sequence wherein the vampire has managed to run almost side by side with Wolf Jacob. Jacob uses his ability to shape-shift really fast from human to wolf to confuse the vampire. But, the vampire adjusts to his strategy quickly and reaches through his defenses to grab Bella off his back and then flings her to a grassy mound, where she lies gasping from the impact, winded but unhurt.
The vampire turns to face Jacob in a crouching defensive position, clearly ready to fight, but not willing to come closer.
Jacob growls and tries to bite the vampire repeatedly to get through to Bella. He is unsuccessful. By this time, the pack has arrived to assist Jacob.
The wolves go from their V-formation to surround the vampire. When they are about to spring to dismember and kill, Bella suddenly runs and flings herself in front of the vampire.
BELLA
Nnoooooo!!!
Fade out.
SEQ . INT. Swan Living Room. Bella opens her eyes. She realizes that she’s on the sofa with a seated figure hovering over her.
ALICE
How are you, Bella?BELLA
(wonderingly) Alice?
Alice smiles. Bella hugs her and finds herself beginning to sob.
BELLA
Alice. I can’t… believe you’re really here. You smell… so good.
Alice runs a critical eye over Bella.
ALICE
Pardon my saying so, Bella, but, you look like hell.
Alice takes a delicate sniff and wrinkles her nose.
ALICE
And you stink.BELLA
What?JACOB
(too calmly) Yeah, you stink.
Bella laughs through her crying and spots Jacob near the open window.
BELLA
I don’t smell!ALICE / JACOB
You smell like them!
Jacob and Alice confront each other.
JACOB
Blood –ALICE
Mon –BELLA
Both of you, stop it!
Jacob and Alice back off at her request. Bella attempts to use civility to calm the tense atmosphere.
BELLA
Alice, this is Jacob, my best friend.ALICE
(disbelieving) Your best friend is a young werewolf?!?
Jacob growls threateningly at her tone.
BELLA
Yes, he’s my best friend. And he just saved my life!ALICE
I saw you jump. I waited and waited for you to come up, but you didn’t. I flew here to help Charlie with your funeral. He wasn’t home. I saw your tracks and decided to follow them. Then I saw you with –JACOB
It’s only the treaty that’s holding back the pack. They’re right outside. At my request.ALICE
How dare you threaten me?JACOB
Because of the Cullens, vampires have been terrorizing Bella.ALICE
What are you talking about? We left Forks so that Bella would be safe.JACOB
Well, it didn’t work.BELLA
You didn’t see Laurent in your visions? Or Victoria?ALICE
(hisses) Laurent and Victoria?!?JACOB
How did Victoria get through us?BELLA
She didn’t need to. Victoria got inspired by the Cullens and enrolled herself in Forks High School. (to Alice) You guys weren’t here so nobody could tell the difference. And I was in my own little hell and didn’t notice. She just made sure to keep her distance, while, of course, trying to kill me. And, she used Laurent to distract the pack and the authorities.
Alice concentrates on her vision. Jacob moves closer to Bella protectively.
JACOB
(suspiciously) What’ she doing?BELLA
It’s okay, Jake.JACOB
Bells, I’m really sorry. I came back. But you were already gone. You almost got killed because I wasn’t here.
A flashback of Jacob seeing the bike gone and intuitively realizing that Bella has gone to the La Push cliffs.

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

January 18th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Wow! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
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.
