"She (Alice) is there—wait for me, of course." He (Jasper) chuckled.

"As soon as I got in, she jumped off the high stool by the bar and walked right up to me.

" I was shocked. I don't know if she was trying to attack me, based on my past that's the

only explanation for her behavior. But she was smiling. She was exuding emotions I'd never felt before."

"'You let I've been waiting a long time,' she said. "

I don't know when Alice is standing behind me again.

"Then you nodded like a graceful western gentleman and said, 'I'm sorry,

miss .'" Alice laughs at the memory.

Jasper smiled at her. "You stretched out your hand, and I took your hand without knowing it. I did

n't even think about what I was doing. For the first time in a century, I felt hope."

Jasper said and took Alice's hand. .

Alice grinned, "I'm finally relieved. I thought you'd never show up

."

They smiled at each other for a long time before Jasper turned his gaze back to me, the softness still lingering on his

face.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse quotes

  • Rosalie Hale: [talking about the night she died, after she was assaulted by her fiance & his friends] They left me in the street, thinking I was dead. Believe me, I wanted to be.

    [beat]

    Rosalie Hale: Carlisle found me. He smelled all the blood. Thought he was helping me.

    Bella Swan: I'm sorry.

    Rosalie Hale: [pause; eventually Rosalie continues with a slight smile] I got my revenge on them.

    [pause]

    Rosalie Hale: One at a time.

    [enters flashback]

    Rosalie Hale: Save Royce for last, so he'd know I was coming.

    [we see 3 policemen, standing outside Royce's door; cut to inside where Royce hears all the police get taken out; cowering in a corner, Rosalie breaks the door down, wearing a wedding dress, complete with veil; smiles menacingly]

    Rosalie Hale: [back to Rosalie now; smiles at the memory] I was a little theatrical back then.

    [long pause as a series of emotions play across her face; continues]

    Rosalie Hale: Things got better after I found Emmett.

    [nods briefly; beat]

    Rosalie Hale: But we'll always be this... Frozen... Never moving forward. That's what I miss the most. Possibilities.

  • Bella Swan: This wasn't a choice between you and Jacob. It was between who I should be and who I am. I've always felt out of step. Like literally stumbling through my life. I've never felt normal, because I'm not normal, and I don't wanna be. I've had to face death and loss and pain in your world, but I've also never felt stronger, like more real, more myself, because it's my world too. It's where I belong.

    Edward Cullen: So it's not just about me?

    Bella Swan: No.

    [pause]

    Bella Swan: Sorry...
