TWILIGHT [2008]

Twilight
When You Can Live Forever 
What Do You Live For?


You're Isabella Swan, the new girl.
Hi, I'm Eric. the eyes and ears of this place.
Anything you need, tour guide, lunch date, shoulder to carry on?
~Eric 

Bella, as The Cullens enter the cafetaria: Who are they?
 Angela: The Cullens.
Jessica: They're Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids.
They moved down here from Alaska, like, a few years ago.
Angela: They kind of keep to themselves.
Jessica: Yeah, cause they're all together, like, together together.
The blonde girl, that's Rosalie and the big dark-haired guy, Emmet.
They're like, a thing.
I'm not even sure that's legal.
Angela: Jess, they're not actually related.
Jessica: Yeah, but they live together, it's weird.
And okay, the little dark-haired girl's Alice, she's really weird.
And she's with Jasper, the blonde one who looks like he's in pain.
Dr. Cullen's like this foster dad/matchmaker.
Angela: Maybe he'll adopt me.
Bella, as Edward enter the cafetaria: Who's he?
Jessica: That's Edward Cullen. He's totally gorgeus, obviously.
But apparently nobody here's good enough for him.
Like I care, you know...
Seriously, don't waste your time.
Bella: I wasn't planning on it.


Hello...
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself last week.
I'm Edward Cullen.
You're Bella?
~Edward Cullen

Edward: Why didn't you move with your mother and Phil?
Bella: Well, Phil's a minor league baseball player and he travels a lot,
and my mom stayed at home with me,
but I knew it made her unhappy.
So, I figured I'd stay with my dad for a while.
Edward: And now, you're unhappy.
Bella: No...
Edward: I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm just trying to figure you out.
You're very difficult for me to read.

Bella: Hey, did you get contacts?
Edward: No...
Bella: Your eyes black the last time I saw you and now they're like, golden brown.
Edward: Yeah, I know.
It's the... it's the flourescent.
[walks away]

Bella: How did you get over me so fast?
Edward: I was standing right next to you, Bella.
Bella: No, you were next to your car, across the lot.
Edward, chuckles: No, I wasn't
Bella: Yes, you were!
Edward: Bella, you're... you hit your head. I think you're confused.
Bella: I know what I saw.
Edward: And what exactly was that?
Bella: You... you stopped the van. You pushed it away with your hand.
Edward: Well, nobody's gonna believe you, so...
Bella: I wasn't gonna tell anybody. I just need to know the truth.
Edward: Can't you just thank me and get over it?
Bella: Thank you...
Edward: You're not gonna let this go, are you?
Bella: No.
Edward: Well then, I hope you enjoy disappointment.


Edward: Bella, we shouldn't be friends.
Bella: You really should've figured that out a little earlier.
I mean, why didn't you just let the van crush me and save yourself all this regret?
Edward: What, you think I regret saving you?
Bella: I can see that you do.

Bella: You know, your mood swings are kind of giving me whiplash.
Edward: I only said it'd be better if we weren't friends,
not that I didn't wanna be.
Bella: What does that mean?
Edward: It means if you were smart, you'd stay away from me.

Edward: I'd rather hear your theories.
Bella: I have considered... radioactive spiders and kryptonite.
Edward: That's all superhero stuff, right?
What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm the bad guy?


Jacob: Okay, did you know Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves?
Bella: What? Like, wolves? Real wolves?
Jacob: Well, that's the legend of our tribe.
Bella: So, what's the story about The Cullens?
Jacob: Well, they're supposedly descended from this, like, enemy clan.
My great grandfather, the chief, found them hunting on our land.
But they claimed to be something different, so we made a treaty with them.
If they promised to stay off Quileutes lands, 
then we wouldn't expose what they really were to the palefaces.

Bella: How did you know where I was?
Edward: I didn't... [Bella intend to leave the table] Don't leave, I...
Bella: Did you follow me?
Edward: I... I feel very protective of you.
Bella: So you followed me?
Edward: I was trying to keep a distance unless you needed my help,
and then I heard what those low-lifes were thinking.
Bella: Wait... You say you heard what they were thinking?
So what, you... you read minds?
Edward: I can read every mind in this room, apart from yours.
[look at another table] There's money... sex... money... sex... cat.
And then you... nothing!
It's very frustrating.
Bella: Is there something wrong with me?
Edward: See... I tell you I can read minds and you think there's something wrong with you? 


Bella: You're impossibly fast and strong.
Your skin is pale white and ice-cold.
Your eyes change color.
And sometimes you speak like you're from a different time.
You never eat or drink anything.
You don't go out in the sunlight.
How old are you?
Edward: 17...
Bella: How long have you been 17?
Edward: A while...
Bella: I know what you are...
Edward: Say it! Out loud! Say it!
Bella: Vampire...
Edward: Are you afraid?
Bella: No...
Edward: Then ask me the most basic question. What do we eat?
Bella: You won't hurt me...

This is why we don't show ourselves in sunlight.
People would know we're different.
[Edward stands in the spot of sunlight, turns around and his skin glittering]
This is what I am.
~Edward

Edward: I'm the world's most dangerous predator.
Everything about me invites you in; my voice, my face, even my smell.
As if I would need any of that.
As if you could outrun me.
As if you could fight me off.
I'm designed to kill!
Bella: I don't care...
Edward: I've killed people before.
Bella: It does not matter...
Edward: I wanted to kill you.
I've never wanted a human's blood so much in my life.
Bella: I trust you...
Edward: Don't!
Bella: I'm here, I trust you...

Edward: My family, we're different from others of our kind.
We only hunt animals.
We've learned to control our thirst.
But it's you... your scent, it's like a drug to me.
You're like my own personal brand of heroine.
Bella: Why did you hate me so much when we met?
Edward: I did.
Only for making me want you so badly.
I still don't know if I can control myself.
Bella: I know you can...
Edward: I can't read your mind. You have to tell me what you're thinking.
Bella: Now I'm afraid.
Edward: Good.
Bella: I'm not afraid of you.
I'm only afraid of losing you. I feel like you're gonna disappear.
Edward: You don't know how long I've waited for you.
So the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Bella: What a stupid lamb.
Edward: What a sick, masochistic lion.



About 3 things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him and I didn't know how dominant that part might be,
that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
~Bella


I'm breaking all the rules now anyway.
Since I'm going to hell.
~Edward

Bella: So, does the person have to be dying to become like you?
Edward: No, that's just Carlisle.
He'd never do this to someone who had another choice.
Bella: So how long have you been like this?
Edward: Since 1918. That's when Carlisle found me dying of Spanish influenza.
Bella: What was it like?
Edward: The venom was excruciating.
But what Carlisle did was much harder.
Not many of us have the restraint to do that.
Bella: But didn't he just have to bite?
Edward: Not exactly.
When we taste human blood, a sort of frenzy begins, 
and it's almost impossible to stop.
Bella: But Carlisle did.
Edward: First with me and then his wife, Esme.
Bella: So, is Carlisle the real reason that you don't kill people?
Edward: No, he's not the only reason. I don't wat to be a monster.
My family, we think of ourselves as vegetarians, 
cause we only survive on the blood of animals.
But it's... it's like a human only living on tofu.
It keeps you strong, but you're never fully satisfied.

Bella: Can the rest of your family read people's minds like you can?
Edward: No, that's just me. But Alice can see future.
Bella: I bet she saw me coming.
Edward: Alice's visions are subjective.
I mean the future can always change.


Edward: I'm gonna take you to my place tomorrow.
Bella: Wait, like, with your family?
Edward: Yeah...
Bella: What if they don't like me?
Edward: So you're worried not because you'll be in a house full of vampires,
but because you think they won't approve of you?


Bella: How did you get in here?
Edward: The window.
Bella: Do you do that a lot?
Edward: Well, just the past couple of months.
I like watching you sleep, it's kind of fascinating to me.
I always want to try one thing... Just stay very still...
[Edward start kissing Bella]


[catches Bella's scent from across the field]
You brought a snack.
~James


Edward: Listen to me, James is a tracker. The hunt is his obsession.
I read his mind.
My reaction on the field set him off.
I just made this his most exciting game ever.
He's never gonna stop.
Bella: What should we do?
Edward: We have to kill him, rip him apart and burn the pieces.

This isn't my fight and I've grown tired of his games,
but he's got unparalleled senses, absolutely lethal.
I've never seen anything like him in my 300 years.
And the woman, Victoria, don't underestimate her.
~Laurent

Edward: Rosalie, Esme, could you put these on so the tracker will pick up Bella's scent?
[throw Bella's coat to Rosalie]
Rosalie: Why? What is she to me?
Carlisle: Rosalie, Bella is with Edward, she's part of this family now.
And we protect our family.


Nothing's gonna happen.
There's 7 of us and there's 2 of them.
And when everything's done, I'm gonna come back and get you.
Bella, you are my life now.
~Edward

We lost the tracker.
Rosalie and Esme are going to Forks to protect your father.
I'm coming to get you.
Then you and I are gonna go somewhere alone.
 And the others will keep hunting.
I'll do whatever it takes to make you safe again.
~Edward

I'd never given much thought to how I would die.
But dying in the place of someone I love, seems like a good way to go.
I can't bring myself to regret the decisions that brought me face-to-face with death,
they also brought me to Edward.
~Bella


[hold Edward]
Son, enough... remember who you are.
~Carlisle

You have to make a choice. You could let the change happen.
~Carlisle

Edward, while Bella screaming in pain: Carlisle, what's my other option?!
Carlisle: We could try to suck the venom out. 
Edward: No! You know I won't be able to stop!
Carlisle: Then find the will to stop.
But choose, she only has minutes left.
Edward: I'm gonna make it go away, Bella... I'm gonna make it go away...

Death is painful, easy.
Life is harder.
~Bella

Bella: We can't be apart! You can't leave me!
Edward: I'm here...
Bella: Okay, just don't... you can't say stuff like that to me. Ever!
Edward: Where else am I gonna go?

Bella: Edward, why did you save me?
If you just let the venom spread, I could be like you by now.
Edward: You don't know what you're saying...
You don't want this...
Bella: I want you. Always.
Edward: I'm not gonna end your life for you.
Bella: I'm dying already. Every second, I get closer, older.
Edward: That's the way it's supposed to be.

Bella: I've decided.
Edward: So, that's what you dream about? Becoming a monster?
Bella: I dream about being with you forever.
Edward: Forever...

SEX AND THE CITY [2008]

Sex and the City
Get Carried Away



Year after year, 20-something women come to New York City in search for two L's:
Labels and Love.
Twenty years ago, I was one of them.
Having gotten the knack for labels early, I concentrated on my search for love.
Turns out, a knock-off is not as easy to spot when it comes to love.
That is why you need help to spot them, lots of help.
Help also known as Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes ans Samantha Jones.
My name is Carrie Bradshaw, and I'm a writer.
~Carrie

Year after year, my single girlfriends were my salvation.
And as it turns out, my meal ticket.
Charlotte was looking for the perfect love.
So Charlotte and Harry journeyed to China and back for their daughter, Lily.
Miranda was a disciple of tough love.
And Miranda journeyed to Brooklyn for Brady and Steve.
Samantha's love was sex... Lots of sex.
And then she found a man that combined sex and love.
So Samantha journeyed to Hollywood with television star, Smith Jerrod.
As foe mr, I was looking for something big, Mr. Big.
Turns out when that big love comes along it's not always easy.
And despite all the other chapters of my life,
no one was ever quite big enough until...
[Mr. Big: Carrie, you're the one].
And just like that, I was.
~Carrie

"My thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved.
I can live only wholly with you or not at all.
Be calm my life, my all.
Only by calm consideration of out existance can we achieve our purpose to live together.
Oh, continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
Ever thine.
Ever mine.
Ever ours."
~Carrie, quoting Ludwig van Beethoven's love letter to Immortal Beloved

Miranda: How often do you guys have sex?
Charlotte: Sex... [glance to her daughter] Miranda, please...
Miranda: What?
Charlotte: She's 3. She doesn't know what it means.
Miranda: I'm 41 and I still don't know what it means.
Charlotte: I know, but she is repeating everything.
Samantha: If I'd known the girl talk was gonna be on lockdown, 
I wouldn't have flown 3000 miles.
Charlotte: No, we can talk. Let's just not use that word.
Miranda: Fine. How often do you guys...
Carrie: Color? [as she accompanied Lily coloring her drawing book]
Miranda: Thank you...
Samantha: Well, I can't color enough.
I could color all day everyday if I had my way, I would use every crayon in my box.
Carrie: We get it, you love to color.
[to Miranda] Why are you asking?
Miranda: Well, last night Steve and I were coloring, and I was just about to...
Samantha: Come? [Charlotte glare to her]
I'm sorry, there's no crayon equivalent.
Miranda: And he wanted to switch positions and I said...
[chuckle] "Let's just get it over with."
[everybody makes a pity look]
He kept trying to make it last longer.
Samantha: And this is bad?
Miranda: It is when you have a full-time job.
Samantha: I have a full time job.
Miranda: You don't also have a 5-years-old, play dates, PTA meetings,
and a mother-in-law in a rest home with advancing Alzheimer's.
We're just going through no-coloring phase.
It comes and goes, right?
Charlotte: Every couple is different.
Harry and I make love two, three times a week.
Miranda: Great, now I feel worse.
Samantha: Well, when was the last time for you?
Miranda, pause for a minute: Six months ago...
Carrie: Oh my...
[while Charlotte and Samantha look shock]
Miranda: It sounds long.
But... but there's a dry spell.
Samantha: I bet it is.
Charlotte: Hey Carrie, what about you and Big?
[Carrie shake her head]
Come on... I told... Tell!
Carrie, still shake her head: But I will tell you this...
When Big colors, he rarely stays inside the lines.
Miranda: Well, this has been very helpful.


It took 4 friends, 3 days to put 20 years into 38 boxes.
~Carrie

Two hundred people? Page six?
This is my third marriage.
How do you think that makes me look?
~Mr. Big

Now there were times when we had our doubts about this gorgeus man.
But after careful observation over the last hundred years, my doubts are over.
So, here's to the groom, a man who finally got carrie-d away.
~Samantha

You two are crazy to get married.
Marriage ruins everything.
~Miranda, to Mr. Big

Samantha, after saw Miranda's dense pubic hair: Jesus, honey, wax much?
Miranda: What?
I didn't know I was gonna be wearing a bathing suit.
Charlotte: What are you talking about?
Miranda: I forgot to wax.
Samantha: Since when? 1998?
Miranda: I've had other things in my mind.
Samantha: I could be on death row and not have that situation.
Miranda: Well Samantha, when you're married, you have a different set of priorities.
Samantha: Oh honey, don't blame marriage...
[point to Charlotte] This one's married and she's not growing a national forest.
How do you even cross your legs?
Let me make you a spa appointment.
Any thicker, and you won't be able to find it.
Miranda, got pissed-off: So what, it's my fault?
I let the sex go out of my marriage?
I deserve what I got?
Thanks for understanding! [leaving]

Carrie: He's a bad guy. Always was! Bad guys do bad things.
Miranda: And good guys do bad things.
The good guys screw you and the bad guys screw you.
Samantha: The rest of them don't know how to screw you.
Trust me, I've done the legwork.

Charlotte: I'm pregnant...
Carrie: How?
Charlotte: You know how people always say that when you stop trying, it can happen?
And my doctor says that she knows other couples who have adopted
and then they get pregnant?


I guess in certain houses, fairy tales do come true.
~Carrie

Carrie: I got an email from Big.
"I don't know what to say."
Hey, don't send an email?
Miranda: What were you expecting?
Carrie: In the subject box, two words: "I'm sorry".
Miranda: Ugh... Steve is all about "I'm sorry".
"I'm sorry" emails, "I'm sorry" voice mails, 
"I'm sorry" flowers, "I'm sorry" cards...
How about don't do anything to be "I'm sorry" for?
Carrie: Well maybe he's sorry.
Miranda: Well maybe so is Big.

The wedding of Carrie Bradshaw and John James Preston
was canceled as this issue went to press.
Bradshaw is still single and living in New York City.
~Vogue Editor

Look, the people who don't know will only see the beautiful pictures.
The people who do know will only see what an asshole he is.
~Charlotte, to Carrie


All right then, enjoy yourself, that's what your 20s are for.
Your 30s are to learn the lessons.
Your 40s are to pay the drinks.
~Carrie to Louise

Because I'm afraid something bad is gonna happen.
It's a miracle I'm even pregnant.
I have everything I ever wanted.
I am so happy that I'm terrified.
~Charlotte

Charlotte: You really can't forgive him?
Miranda: Are you suggesting something?
Charlotte: I like Steve, I always liked Steve.
He's appologized 100 times, he's not seeing anyone else.
What's it gonna take?
Miranda: Are you also suggesting that she forgive Big?
Charlotte: NO! I could kill Big!
Sometimes when I'm running, I imagined what I would say to him if I ever saw him again.
I have the perfect opening line.
Do you wanna hear it?
Carrie: Uh, yeah...
Charlotte: I curse the day you were born.

I deserve what I got.
Running all over New York, believing that I'm finally getting my happy ending.
"See, love does conquer all.
Look at me in my one-of-a-kind wedding gown, marrying the love of my life".
And Miranda, in that article, I did not say 'we' once.
The whole article was "I think" and "I want".
Exactly! The whole wedding was my point of view.
I let the wedding get bigger than Big.
I am the reason that he did not get out of the car.
~Carrie


You know what I think hurts the most?
Is that you kept a secret from me.
And I have never, ever kept a secret from you! Ever!
No, I'm lying...
For the last 5 months I've been thinking that it is a huge mistake that you left Steve.
There!
How does it feel?
~Carrie, to Miranda

Carrie: You badger me to forgive you in 3 days
and you won't even considered forgiving Steve for something he did six months ago.
Miranda: It's not the same thing.
Carrie: It's forgiveness.

Miranda: I don't know that I can trust that it won't happen again.
Therapist: Steve, you're very quiet today.
Steve: Miranda, I know I made it hard for you to trust me,
but... you made it hard for me to trust you.
Miranda: Me?
Steve: The way you treated me and cut me out of your life like that.
I mean, yeah... I broke the vow, but what about the other vows?
Like promising to love someone for better or for worse.
What about that?
How do I know she's not gonna punish me for the rest of my life?
Therapist: You don't.
And she doesn't know for sure that you won't have another indiscretion.
All you can know is that you wanna move forward
and risk that the love you have for each other won't allow that to happen.
And that's what we'll discover here.


Samantha: You're gonna find a wonderful woman who loves being in a relationship.
Jarred: What will you find?
Samantha: I don't know...
But that's a risk I'm willing to take.

Some love stories aren't epic novels.
Some are short stories.
But that doesn't make them any less filled with love.
~Carrie

Carrie: Saint Louise, you brought me back to life.
Louise: And you gave me Louis Vuitton.

We were perfectly happy before we decided to live happily ever after.
~Carrie, to Mr. Big

Carrie Bradshaw, love of my life, will you marry me?
~Mr. Big


And as I put the wedding gown away, I couldn't help but wonder,
why is it that we're willing to write our own vows but not our own rules?
~Carrie

Maybe some labels are best left in the closet.
Maybe when we label people "bride, groom, husband, wife, married, single",
we forgot to look past the label to the person.
~Carrie

And there, in the same city where they met as girls,
4 New York women entered the next phase of their lives, 
dressed head to toe in love.
And that's the one label that never goes out of style.
~Carrie
