Ñóìåðêè/ Twilight

FADE IN:
1 EXT. RAIN FOREST, OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK, WASHINGTON - DAWN Moss-draped. Shadow-drenched. Tortured tree trunks twist
upward, reaching for rare sunlight.
BELLA (V.O.)
I'd never given much thought to how I would die..

Suddenly, every creature in the forest is deadly silent. Neither
bird, beast nor insect make a noise. A predator is near. Then, in the distance, hear a tiny SNICK - a twig snapping.
Abruptly, we're on the move. Fast.
UNKNOWN POV - MOVING

Trees start whipping past us at a dizzying speed, branches
are dodged with preternatural agility. And we're speeding
up, chasing something. It's exhilarating. Terrifying.
Finally, up ahead, we get the first glimpse of our prey -
-
A DEER
-- running for its life as it darts through this maze of
a forest. It sprints forward, but we gain on it. Beyond the deer,
SEE the forest's edge ahead, white sunlight glowing against the
trees. The buck races for the light. We're just behind it,
about to emerge from the shadowy darkness -
-
The deer LEAPS into the light in a high arc, hovering (suddenly
SLOW MOTION) against the WHITE GLARE of the sun... then BAM!
The deer abruptly plummets out of frame at an unnatural angle,
leaving the WHITE GLARE to fill the screen. HOLD ON WHITENESS
-
BELLA (V.O.)
But dying in the place of someone I
love seems like a good way to go..
.
-- Then into the WHITENESS steps the face of -
2 ISABELLA SWAN, 172
Eyes closed against the sunlight, absorbing its rays. Long,
dark hair frames alabaster skin. She's a vulnerable,
introverted, imperfect beauty.
BELLA (V.O.)

... So I can't bring myself to
regret the decision that brought me
here to die...
The background comes into focus as we realize we're now in -
2.
EXT. SCOTTSDALE, AZ - DAY
Bella stands at the end of a cul-de-sac on the desert's edge.
The sun blazes behind her -- she bends down and carefully
scoops a tiny BARREL CACTUS into a clay pot.
BELLA (V.O.)

... The decision to leave home.

She stares at the cactus in a state of reverie, until
BLONDE #1 (O.S.)
Bye, Bella!
BELLA'S POV - McMansion ACROSS THE STREET
Three tanned, athletic, blonde GIRLS hop into a convertible
Mercedes. Their flawless, bought-and-paid for beauty contrasts
with Bella's pale naturalness. They wave.
BLONDE #
Good luck at your new school!
They ADLIB superficial good wishes, "Don't forget to write;"

"We'll miss you." Bella waves back, sweetly, but
halfheartedly as she steps off the curb.
BELLA
Have a good..

--and trips. When she rights herself, they're already gone.
BELLA
... life.
Clearly, not close friends. Bella's grown-up demeanor and
innate intelligence become apparent as -
-
BELLA'S MOTHER, RENE, mid 30's --exits their house --it's
low rent for this ritzy neighborhood. Rene is eclectic,
scattered, anxious, more best friend than parent. She
thrusts a cell phone at Bella.
RENE
It won't work again, baby.
BELLA
You put it on hold.
RENE
I did?
BELLA
Look. You also called Mexico.
Rene pushes her playfully, they laugh.

3.
RENE
I'll figure it out. You gotta be able
to reach me and Phil on the road -
I
love saying that - on the road.
BELLA
Very romantic.
PHIL, 31, good looking with an athlete's body, exits the
house, carrying Bella's three suitcases with ease.
PHIL
If you call crappy motels, backwater
towns and ballpark hot dogs romantic.
He puts his Phoenix Desert Dogs baseball hat on Rene's head with
a
kiss. Phil's love of Rene reassures Bella. Phil heads to the old
station wagon to load the luggage, while Rene slips her arm
through Bella's, clinging to her as they walk to car.
RENE
Now, you know if you change your
mind, I'll race back here from
wherever the game is.
But Rene's strained expression tells us what a great
sacrifice that would be. Bella forces a smile.
BELLA
I won't change my mind, mom.
RENE
You might. You've always hated Forks.
BELLA
It's not about Forks, it's about
Dad. I mean, two weeks a year, we
barely know each other.
(off Rene's still worried
look)
Mom, I want to go. I'll be fine.
But as Rene hugs Bella, we see the truth on BELLA'S FACE
dread, doubt, regret. Off Bella, struggling to keep her
facade up as she climbs into the back seat of the car..

3 BELLA'S POV OUT THE CAR WINDOW - SCOTTSDALE

Bella, IPOD earbuds in her ears, gets a last glimpse of the
sparkling malls, chic shoppers, manicured cactus gardens..
.
PULL UP AND OUT OF THE CAR UNTIL WE'RE -
-

4 EXT. ABOVE SCOTTSDALE (AERIAL SHOT) - DAY
4
The McMansions get smaller as we SWEEP OVER the scorched
landscape, baking under a hot sun. Beyond the housing
developments SEE the rocky, dry desert, extending for miles..
.
Rise HIGHER, and higher still, until finally we're suspended
within the bright, perfect, blue SKY, with only an occasional
cloud..
.
Slowly, the clouds start getting more numerous, thicker, darker..
.
until we're completely immersed in them... the sun disappearing.
Finally, we EMERGE from the clouds to find below
-
5 EXT. WASHINGTON STATE - OLYMPIC PENINSULA (AERIAL SHOT)- DAY5
Nothing but deep, dark, green forests for miles. SWEEP DOWN,
finding the eerily dramatic Lake Crescent. Over it all hangs
the mist from the ever-present cloudy grey sky. Everything
is wet and green and drenched in shade..
.
FIND A TWO LANE HIGHWAY along which drives A POLICE
CRUISER... PUSH IN on the cruiser until we reach
-
THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW
Bella looks out, taking in her gloomy new surroundings..
.
END TITLES.
6 INT. POLICE CRUISER - DAY - WAITING AT LIGHT
6
Bella sits next to her uniformed father, police chief CHARLIE
SWAN, 40's. Taciturn, introverted like Bella. Their strained
silence contrasts Bella's relationship with her mother. Beat.
CHARLIE
Your hair's longer.
BELLA
I cut it since last time I saw you.
CHARLIE
Guess it grew out again.
She just nods. Silence.
CHARLIE
How's your mom?
BELLA
Good.
More silence. Yikes. They pass a SIGN: “The City Of Forks
Welcomes You - Pop. 3246.” Bella sighs. 5.
7 EXT. FORKS, WASHINGTON - DAY
7
As the cruiser drives through, Bella takes in this logging town
-
every storefront has a wood carving. The Timber Museum's sign is
two loggers sawing a stump. The POLICE STATION is a small wooden
building across from City Hall..
.
8 EXT. CHARLIE'S HOUSE - DAY
8
The cruiser pulls up to the old two-story house. A woodshed full
of firewood. There's a small boat in the garage, fishing gear, an
old buoy. Bella climbs out... home.
9 INT. CHARLIE'S HOUSE - DAY
9
Bella and Charlie carry in her bags. The house isn't stylish
(the only new thing here is a Flat Screen T.V.), but it's
comfortable, lived-in. Lots of fishing memorabilia; photos
of Charlie fishing with Quileute Indian BILLY BLACK.
Handmade cards to “Daddy” and photos of Bella. She winces at
herself, age 7, in a tutu, sitting stubbornly on the ground.
CHARLIE
I put Grandpa's old desk in your
room. And I cleared some shelves
in the bathroom.
BELLA
(grimacing)
That's right. One bathroom.
Bella's eye lands on a PHOTO of a much younger Charlie and
Rene, on vacation, beaming with love.
CHARLIE
I'll just put these up in your room
-
BELLA
I can do it
-
They both reach for the bags, bumping one another awkwardly.
Bella backs off, letting Charlie carry the bags upstairs.
10 INT. BELLA'S ROOM - DAY 10
An antique rolltop desk sits in a corner. The room is filled with
childhood remnants that have seen better days. As she unpacks her
CD case, loneliness finally overwhelms her. She sits heavily on
the edge of the bed, tears threatening..
.
Then we hear a HONK outside. Bella runs across the hall and looks
out the window to see
-
11 OUTSIDE - A FADED RED TRUCK, CIRCA 1960 pulls up... 11

6.
EXT. CHARLIE'S HOUSE - DAY
Bella exits to find Charlie greeting the driver, JACOB BLACK,
16, Quileute Indian, amiable with long black hair, and hints of
childish roundness in his face. The two of them help Jacob's
father, BILLY BLACK (from the photos), into a wheelchair.
CHARLIE
Bella, you remember Billy Black.
BILLY
Glad you're finally here. Charlie
hasn't shut up about it since you
told him you were coming.
CHARLIE
Keep exaggerating, I'll wheel you
down the hill.
BILLY
Right after I ram you in the ankles.
Billy takes several rolls at Charlie, who dodges. Jacob shakes
his head at their two fathers as he shyly approaches Bella.
JACOB
I'm Jacob. We made mud pies
together when we were little kids.
BELLA
Yeah... I think I remember..
.
(re: the dads)
Are they always like this?
JACOB
It's getting worse with old age.
Charlie then pats the hood of the truck, addressing Bella
-
CHARLIE
So what do you think of your
homecoming gift?
BELLA
No way. The truck is for me?
CHARLIE
Just bought it off Billy, here.
JACOB
I rebuilt the engine and -
-
BELLA
It's perfect!

7.
She beams. It's the first genuine smile we've seen on her.
She rushes to the truck. Jacob eagerly joins her.
JACOB
Okay, so you gotta double pump the
clutch when you shift, but -
-
He hands her the keys as she climbs in.
BELLA
Maybe I can give you a ride to school.
JACOB
I go to school on the reservation.
BELLA
Too bad. Would've been nice to
know at least one person.
As she starts up the truck we MATCH CUT
-
12 EXT. FORKS HIGH SCHOOL - BELLA'S TRUCK - DAY 12
Loud, belching and turning heads as Bella parks, mortified. All
eyes are on her as she climbs out of her truck and steps in
a
PUDDLE, soaking her sneakers. She slinks toward school, as we
begin
-
13 INT. HIGH SCHOOL - A SERIES OF SHOTS - DAY 13
-- Bella (never without her IPOD) makes her way thru kids who
stare openly; a few brave ones say hi. They're all talking
about her. This is her hell.
-- Bella wanders the walkways looking for room numbers, lost.
-- Constant stares at Bella, the outsider..
.
SERIES ENDS when a sweet, nerd-cute, motor mouth boy, ERIC,
appears in her path.
ERIC
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 cry on.
Bella just looks at him. Is he for real?
BELLA
I'm kind of the “suffer in silence” type.
ERIC
Good headline for your feature
-
I'm on the paper, and you're news,
baby, front page.

8.
BELLA
I -- no, I'm not news -- I'm, seriously,
not at all
-
ERIC
Whoa, chillax. No feature.
BELLA
(relieved)
Would you mind just pointing me
toward Mr. Varner's class?
He leads her away, enjoying the attentive stares, as she cringes
from them
-
ERIC
You've missed a lot of the semester,
but I can hook you up - tutor, cliff
notes, medical excuse..
.
INT. GYM - DAY 14
The boys' basketball team runs drills on half the basketball
court. A girls' volleyball game occupies the other half.
Bella, in gym clothes, avoids the volleyball like it's
radioactive. An energetic, athletic team captain, JESSICA,
motivates the players.
JESSICA
Block it, Chloe! Yeah! Good attack!
Unfortunately, the volleyball heads toward Bella. She closes
her eyes and flails at it, SMACKING it. It flies off court
-
-- and beans a basketball player in the head. He is MIKE
NEWTON, good looking, affable, with blond spiky hair.
MIKE
Ow!
BELLA
(hurries to him,
embarrassed)
Are you alright? I warned them not
to make me play.
MIKE
It's only a flesh wound.
Mike grins and she smiles, relieved. A BELL RINGS, class over.
MIKE
You're Isabella, right? 9.
BELLA
Just Bella.
MIKE
I'm Mike. Newton.
He looks at her a second too long, clearly taken by her -
-
Suddenly, Jessica appears, stepping between them. Subtle,
but possessive as she nudges Mike.
JESSICA
She's got a great spike, doesn't
she?
(to Bella)
So, you're from Arizona, right?
Aren't people supposed to be tan
down there?
BELLA
That's why they kicked me out.
Mike laughs, and because he does, Jessica does. Bella just
feels uncomfortable with the attention..
.
15 INT. CAFETERIA - DAY 15
FOLLOW Bella, Mike and Jessica as they carry their trays to
a
table. Eric appears, and squishes into a seat next to Bella.
ERIC
Mike, you met my home girl Bella.
MIKE
Your home girl?
JESSICA
(to Bella)
It's first grade all over again,
and you're the shiny new toy.
Bella smiles awkwardly. Suddenly, a FLASHBULB blinds Bella.
She looks up at the photographer, ANGELA, Jessica's sweet,
low key, insecure friend.
ANGELA
Sorry, needed a candid for the feature
-
ERIC
Feature's dead, Angela. Don't bring it
up again.
(to Bella)
I got your back, baby.

10.
ANGELA
(disappointed)
Guess we'll just run another editorial on
teen drinking.
BELLA
Sorry. There's always eating disorders,
or Speedo padding on the swim team
-
ANGELA
-- Wait, that's a good one..
.
But Bella's attention is now riveted to
-
BELLA'S POV - THE DOUBLE DOORS OF THE CAFETERIA
They swing open as four of the most astounding people Bella's
ever seen enter (IN SLOW MOTION): THE CULLENS. Two guys, two
girls, all chalky pale, purplish shadows under their eyes..
.
and all devastatingly beautiful.
They move through the room with effortless grace, and take a seat
at a table furthest from Bella's. Bella leans over to Jessica and
Angela.
BELLA
Who are they?
ANGELA
The Cullens.
Jessica leans in, swinging into gossip mode.
JESSICA
Doctor and Mrs. Cullen's foster
kids. They all moved down here
from Alaska two years ago.
ANGELA
They kinda keep to themselves.
JESSICA
Because they're all together.
Like, together together. The
blonde girl, Rosalie, and the big
dark-haired guy, Emmett..
.
ON ROSALIE, 18, long blonde hair, model beautiful, knows it.
Alongside her is EMMETT, 17, big, brawny, like a weight
lifter, but a playful glint in his eye.
JESSICA
... they're a thing. I'm not even
sure that's legal.

11.
ANGELA
Jess, they're not actually related.
JESSICA
But they live together. And the
little dark haired girl, Alice,
she's really weird..
.
ON ALICE, 17, pixie-like, rail thin, light on her feet with short,
black hair going in every direction. She hovers over, JASPER, 18,
honey-blond hair, tall, lean, slightly tortured.
JESSICA
... she's with Jasper, the blonde
who looks like he's in pain.
I
mean, Dr. Cullen's like this foster
dad slash match maker.
ANGELA
Maybe he'll adopt me.
Bella laughs, liking her... then sees the last Cullen to enter
-
EDWARD, 17. Lanky, with untidy, bronze colored hair. He seems
inwardly turned, mysterious. More boyish than the others. But
the most striking of all. Bella can't take her eyes off him.
BELLA
Who's he?
JESSICA
That's Edward Cullen.
Suddenly, Edward looks over, as if he heard Jessica from
across the room. His eyes meet Bella's. But he seems..
.
confused. Bella quickly looks away.
JESSICA
He's totally gorgeous, obviously.
But apparently, no one here is good
enough for him. Like I care.
(she obviously does)
Anyway, don't waste your time.
BELLA
I wasn't planning on it.
But Bella can't help but peek at Edward again. He's staring
at her outright now, with a slightly frustrated expression
that unnerves Bella. She hides behind her hair.
16 INT. BIOLOGY CLASS - DAY 16
A room of black-topped lab tables. Two to a table. Bella
and Mike enter. 12.
Mike takes his seat and points her toward MR. MOLINA,
Birkenstocked, enthusiastic science teacher at the head of
the class. As Bella moves to the teacher with her class
slip, she notes
-
EDWARD -- his back to her, sitting at a front table. But as
she passes Edward's table..
.
SLOW MOTION -- the breeze she creates when she passes lifts
a
piece of paper next to Edward. We're still on his back as he
inhales --then abruptly stiffens. He grabs onto the edge of
the table, crumbling it slightly. No one notices.
Mr. Molina takes Bella's class slip.
MR. MOLINA
Welcome, Ms. Swan. Follow along as
best you can till you get caught
up.
Mr. Molina gestures to the only empty seat... next to Edward.
But as Bella approaches, she's taken aback when
-
ON EDWARD'S FACE -he slowly looks up at her, his eyes coal
black with repulsion, fury. If looks could literally kill..
.
Bella knocks someone's book bag off their chair. Replaces it,
mumbling an apology. Then slinks reluctantly into her seat.
Edward jerks away from her to the extreme edge of his chair.
MR. MOLINA
(to the class, animated)
Today we'll be observing the behavior
of planaria, a.k.a flatworms.
As Mr. Molina distributes two petri dishes per table
-
MR. MOLINA
We're going to cut them in half,
then watch them regenerate into two
separate worms..
.
Bella glances at Edward who averts his face, holding a hand over
his nose as if he smells something horrible.
Bella, shrinking, subtly sniffs the air, smells nothing.
Then she sniffs her hair. It's fine. She's perplexed. Mr.
Molina hands Edward two petri dishes.
MR. MOLINA
... Yes, folks, zombie worms! They
just won't die.
Edward takes a dish, then slides the second one across the
table to Bella as if she had Ebola. She takes her dish, and
makes a dark curtain of her hair between them. 13.
She can see EDWARD'S HANDS under the table. Clenched into
fists. Off Bella, utterly baffled, and deeply insecure..
.
17 INT. HIGH SCHOOL - HALLWAY - DAY 17
-- as the BELL RINGS, Edward bolts out the door. Other kids
and Bella exit a moment later. Bella looks down the hall;
he's gone.
18 INT. ADMINISTRATION OFFICE - DAY 18
Bella enters, but nearly turns and leaves when she sees
-
EDWARD sweet-talking the enchanted female ADMINISTRATOR,
40's. He doesn't see Bella enter.
EDWARD
There must be something open sixth
period. Physics? Biochem?
ADMINISTRATOR
No, every class is full. I'm
afraid you'll have to stay in
biology. I'm so sorry.
Bella blanches. The Administrator sees her and gestures for
her to wait a minute.
But Edward suddenly straightens as if sensing Bella. He slowly
turns to glare at her with piercing, hate-filled eyes. She backs
to the wall, hugging herself, suddenly chilled... with fear.
EDWARD
(to the Administrator)
I'll just... endure it.
He strides out the door. Off Bella..
.
19 EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - DAY 19
Edward climbs into a shiny new silver Volvo with the Cullens,
while Bella, upset, hurries to her truck. The many eyes still
watching her add insult to injury. ... Finally, she reaches
-
20 INT. BELLA'S TRUCK (CONTINUOUS) 20
-- and closes the door. Her eyes well... but she fights it,
getting mad.
BELLA
Jerk.
As she tries to start the car, choking the engine, we begin to
hear a MAN'S RAGGED, FRIGHTENED BREATH
-
SMASH TO:

14.
21 ECU ON A SECURITY GUARD - IN THE DARKNESS 21
Extremely tight on his terrified FACE, sweat dripping, breathing
in short gasps, trying desperately not to make a sound. INCLUDE
-
22 INT. GRISHAM MILL - LATE AFTERNOON 22
--He's crouched in a dark corner. But then he sees a SHADOW
move blindingly fast past him. He jerks around, then another
SHADOW flies past, too fast to follow. He BOLTS!
He runs up a flight of stairs, harsh lights from the exterior of
the mill striating him. He moves as fast as humanly possible
-
UNKNOWN POV - ON THE SECURITY GUARD FROM SEVERAL FLOORS BELOW
UNKNOWN POV charges after him at an INHUMAN SPEED through this
maze of pillars and walkways. We dodge skull-crushing beams,
LEAP from one floor up to the next, up ladders, scaffolding,
beams, up, and up, getting closer and closer to
-
THE SECURITY GUARD
-- who desperately runs for his life, looking over his shoulder
with terror. UNKNOWN POV is closing in on him, but then he
BOLTS out a door
-
23 EXT. GRISHAM MILL (CONTINUOUS) - LATE AFTERNOON 23
-- The guard BURSTS OUT onto a stair landing, but loses his
footing and TRIPS, breaking through the rail and pitching
over the side, into the air
-
-- and stops, hovering mid-air, a yard from the landing.
A
HAND grips his shirt, then YANKS him out of the air and out
of frame with incredible strength. His guttural SCREAM is
choked short as BLOOD SPRAYS THE LANDING..
.
24 INT. FORKS COFFEE SHOP - LATE AFTERNOON 24
ON A TOP SIRLOIN STEAK as it is set in front of Charlie. He
shares a table with Bella. INCLUDE the waitress, CORA, 30's.
She beams at Bella as she sets a plate of cod in front of her.
Several LOGGERS at the counter offer Bella welcoming smiles. She
shrinks in her seat at the attention. Charlie's oblivious.
CORA
Can't get over how grown up you
are. And so gorgeous.
Bella glances at Charlie, who keeps his eyes on his steak.
A
bearded, hippy logger, WAYLON FORGE, 50, appears behind Cora,
leaning over her shoulder to Bella
-

15.
WAYLON
‘Member me, honey? I was Santa one year.
CHARLIE
Waylon, she hasn't had a Christmas
here since she was four.
WAYLON
Bet I made an impression, though.
CHARLIE
You always do.
CORA
Let the girl eat her cod, Waylon.
(to Bella)
When you're done, I'll bring your
favorite - berry cobbler. Remember?
Your dad still has it. Every Thursday.
BELLA
(doesn't remember at
all)
That'd be great, thank you.
Cora shoos Waylon away. Left alone now, Charlie and Bella
both reach for the salt, knock hands. Charlie goes for the
ketchup instead. Silence as they eat.
A burst of LAUGHTER from a nearby happy FAMILY only serves to
emphasize their discomfort. Bella tries to bridge the gap.
BELLA
So... you eat here every night?
CHARLIE
Easier than washing dishes.
BELLA
I can cook.
He looks up, as if confused by the concept.
BELLA
I do the cooking at home - in Phoenix.
Mom's not great in the kitchen.
CHARLIE
I remember..
.
They both laugh -- recalling an especially bad dinner.
CHARLIE
How was school? Meet anyone?

16.
BELLA
A few people... Do you know the
Cullen family?
CHARLIE
(looks up sharply)
Are people talking about them again?
BELLA
No... well, a little.
CHARLIE
Just ‘cause they're newcomers. We're
lucky to have a surgeon like Dr.
Cullen at our podunk hospital. Lucky
his wife wanted to live in a small
town. Lucky his kids aren't like
a
lot of the hell-raisers around here.
BELLA
... Okay.
CHARLIE
I just don't like narrow
mindedness.
And he returns to his food. Silence.
25 INT. BELLA'S ROOM - NIGHT 25
Bella looks out at the fog as she talks on the phone.
RENE (O.S.
)
If spring training goes well, we could
be living in Florida permanently.
TELEPHONE OPERATOR (O.S.)
Please insert 25 cents to continue.
BELLA
Mom, where's your cell?
INTERCUT WITH:
26 EXT. GAS STATION/GARAGE - NIGHT 26
Rene talks on a pay phone, her dead cell phone in her hand.
In the b.g., Phil and an Attendant work on the Subaru engine.
RENE
Ok, I didn't lose my power cord. It
ran away. Screaming. I literally
repel technology now.

17.
Bella smiles, missing her mom. Rene feeds the phone
quarters.
RENE
Now, tell me more about your
school, baby. What are the kids
like? Are there any cute guys?
Are they being nice to you?
BELLA
(a beat, lying)
They've all been really..
.
welcoming.
PUSH IN ON BELLA'S FACE, getting mad all over again as..
.
FLASH POP TO -EDWARD'S FACE, HIS COAL BLACK EYES, THE FURY..
.
SMASH TO:
27 EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - MORNING (BEFORE SCHOOL) 27
ON BELLA, sitting atop a table, an open book in her lap. But her
eyes are on the arriving kids, and the parking lot as they pull
in. She's waiting for Edward.
Jessica, Angela, Mike and Eric kick around a soccerball
nearby. They wave Bella to join them but she smiles,
declining... and returns to watching for Edward. Her face
tells us she's ready for a confrontation.
28 INT. BIOLOGY CLASS - SAME DAY 28
Bella strides in... but stops, surprised to find her lab
table empty. Off Bella, frustrated..
.
BEGIN A SERIES OF SCENES OVER SEVERAL DAYS:
29 INT. CAFETERIA - DIFFERENT DAY 29
Bella sits with Jessica and Angela who watch a YouTube video
on their phone. Bella gives it a cursory look, but is
focused on the Cullen table --only four of them. Edward's
seat is empty..
.
30 INT. GIRLS BATHROOM - DIFFERENT DAY 30
Bella washes her hands, then looks up at the mirror, startled to
find Rosalie and Alice behind her. They study Bella, Rosalie
with chillingly cold eyes, Alice with curiosity. Bella, uneasy,
hurries out.
31 EXT. FORKS HIGH SCHOOL - DIFFERENT DAY 31
Bella exits with Angela, Mike, Jessica and Eric, becoming a part
of this circle. 18.
She now only glances at Rosalie's car, a red M3 BMW, as it drives
past, noting, again, four Cullens, no Edward. Bella returns to
her friends, finally forgetting about him..
.
SERIES OF SCENES ENDS as we go to
-
32 INT. CHARLIE'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - MORNING 32
It's neater, rearranged more attractively. Clearly, Bella's
given it her touch. She sweeps through, folding Charlie's
fleece jacket, straightening up. She grabs her book bag
-
BELLA
Dad, I'm heading out.
33 EXT. CHARLIE'S HOUSE (CONTINUOUS) - MORNING 33
ON BELLA'S FACE as she opens the door and stops, dismay
filling her. It's pouring down rain --the yard is full of
puddles, some frozen. Bella shivers, wraps her coat tight.
BELLA
Great.
WHIP PAN to the driveway as Charlie pulls in -driving her
truck.
BELLA
Dad, I can drive myself to school.
As she walks down the steps, she doesn't realize, something's
watching her -
-
UNKNOWN POV - FROM THE TREES
--tracking Bella's every move as she slips and falls on
a
patch of ice -
-
BACK ON BELLA - fallen on her ass. Charlie climbs out of the
truck, helps her up.
CHARLIE
You okay, Bells?
BELLA
Ice doesn't help the uncoordinated.
CHARLIE
That's why I got you new tires.
She looks over at the truck -- yep, four new tires.
CHARLIE
The other ones were nearly bald. 19.
BELLA
You got me new tires. No one's
ever done that before.
Charlie looks at her, confused.
BELLA
I mean... nothing.
He clearly doesn't get it as heads toward his Cruiser.
CHARLIE
I'll be late for dinner. I'm heading
down to Mason County. A security guard
at the Grisham Mill got killed by some
kind of animal..
.
UNKNOWN POV - ON BELLA AND CHARLIE, as he speaks..
.
BELLA
An animal?
CHARLIE
You're not in Phoenix any more,
honey. They've been hunting it for
a week with no luck. Thought I'd
lend a hand.
BELLA
Be careful.
CHARLIE
Always am.
BACK ON BELLA..
.
BELLA
And thank you. For the tires.
He sees emotion in her eyes. Doesn't understand it, but nods,
heads inside. Bella looks at the tires again, oddly moved..
.
34 OMITTED 34
35 INT. BIOLOGY CLASS/HALLWAY - DAY 35
Rain beats on the roof as Eric walks Bella into class. She
brushes water off her coat as he chats her up.
ERIC
... and yeah, prom committee is
a
chick thing, but I gotta cover it
for the paper anyway, and they need
a guy to help choose the music -
-
So I need your play list
-

20.
Bella is about to respond when Mike comes up behind her.
MIKE
Come on, Arizona. Give it up for
the rain.
And he shakes his wet baseball cap onto Bella's head.
BELLA
Terrific.
She heads toward her seat, brushing off her hair. But she
freezes when she sees --Edward.
Bella straightens, girding herself. Then strides to the
table, and confidently drops her books down, ready to address
him. But he looks up at her
-
EDWARD
Hello.
Bella stops. Stunned. He is direct, precise, as if every
word is an effort for him.
EDWARD
I didn't have a chance to introduce
myself last week. My name is
Edward Cullen.
She's too shocked that he's talking to her to answer.
EDWARD
(prompting)
... You're Bella.
BELLA
I'm... yes.
Feeling like an idiot, she quickly sits. He abruptly moves to
the extreme edge of his seat. She's even more baffled now.
MR. MOLINA
(to the class)
Onion root tip cells! That's
what's on your slides. Separate
and label them into the phases of
mitosis. The first partners to get
it right, win... the golden onion!
He excitedly holds up a spray painted onion. Everyone just
looks at him. He's disappointed by their apathy.
MR. MOLINA
Come on, people. Tick tock.

21.
Everyone sets to work. Edward pushes the microscope to
Bella, keeping his distance, his voice controlled.
EDWARD
Ladies first.
She grabs the microscope defensively and snaps the first slide
in, adjusting the lens. She's curt as she addresses him.
BELLA
You've been gone.
EDWARD
Out of town. For personal reasons.
She glances at him but he just leans far away, his face
tight. She looks back into the microscope.
BELLA
Prophase.
She begins to remove the slide.
EDWARD
May I look?
She slides him the microscope. He glances through the lens.
EDWARD
Prophase.
BELLA
(muttering)
Like I said.
He writes it on the worksheet. Then he takes a breath, as if
trying calm himself, and turns to her with enormous effort.
EDWARD
Enjoying the rain?
BELLA
Seriously? You're asking me about the
weather?
EDWARD
It appears.
BELLA
No. I don't like the cold. Or the
wet. Or the gray. Or parkas. Or
turtle necks.
Is that a smile playing on his lips? For the first time, he
seems more intrigued than agonized. He studies her. She still
can't tell if he despises her or not. It's infuriating.

22.
BELLA
What?
He shakes his head and turns to the microscope, switching out
the slides. She looks at him. And keeps looking..
.
BELLA'S POV - ECU ON EDWARD'S FACE
His cheekbones, his lips. So perfect, like a sculpture..
.
EDWARD
Anaphase.
She snaps out of it. Covers with a dry look.
BELLA
May I? (she looks through the
lens)
Anaphase.
EDWARD
Like I said.
She glances at him, and this time sees a smirk. She simply
holds out her hand for another slide.
EDWARD
(handing her the slide)
If you hate cold and rain, why move to
the wettest place in the continental U.S.
BELLA
It's complicated.
EDWARD
I think I can keep up.
He actually seems interested. She looks into the microscope as
-
BELLA
My mother remarried.
EDWARD
Very complex. So you don't like him.
BELLA
Phil is fine. Young for her, but
nice enough.
(re: the slide)
Interphase.
CUT ON THE SCHOOL BELL:

23.
36 INT. HIGH SCHOOL - HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER 36
Bella exits holding the golden onion, and practically runs
into Edward, who's directly in front of her.
EDWARD
Why didn't you stay with your mom
and stepdad?
He waits for her answer, studying her, as if trying to decipher
her. She's drawn in by his attention, oddly compelled.
BELLA
Alright, Phil's a minor league
baseball player, so he travels
a
lot. My mother stayed home with me
but it made her unhappy. So
I
decided to spend time with my
father.
EDWARD
But now you're unhappy.
BELLA
No... I -- I just..
.
Bella turns away -- embarrassed, vulnerable.
EDWARD
I'm just trying to figure you out.
You're very hard to read.
He's clearly trying to read her now... their eyes meet again.
But now she looks more closely at him.
BELLA
Did you get contacts?
EDWARD
... no.
BELLA
Your eyes were black before, now
they're this golden brown or
-
EDWARD
It's just the fluorescents.
He abruptly turns and walks away. As he does, Bella notes -
-
HIS HANDS clenched into tight fists. Off Bella, utterly
bewildered, both intrigued and frustrated.
37 EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - PARKING LOT - DAY 37
The rain has stopped, but the parking lot is full of water
and patches of black ice. 24.
Shivering, Bella heads for her truck, carrying the onion,
carefully navigating the icy puddles. As she reaches her
truck, she looks across the lot
EDWARD stands by his silver Volvo with his siblings, about to
climb in. A moment as their eyes meet... then he looks toward the
sound of a high pitched SCREECH, that quickly grows LOUDER..
.
Bella turns to see a VAN -- skidding on the ice, careening out of
control, heading directly for her. TIME suddenly fractures,
compressing to stillness, then exploding in bursts of speed as
-
-- THE FACES OF THE STUDENTS - in shock, seeing what's coming.
--THE VAN DRIVER'S FACE -TYLER, desperately trying to gain
control, then shielding his face.
-- EDWARD'S FACE - looking at Bella with horror..
.
THE VAN is about to hit Bella's truck, with her standing in
between, when suddenly, something knocks Bella down, pinning
her to the ground. She looks up - Edward is on top of her.
The world around them FREEZES -- in this fraction of
a
second, their proximity is overwhelming, electrifying. He
breathes in her scent, she takes in his flawless face..
.
Abruptly, we BLAST BACK TO SPEED as several things happen so
quickly, we, and Bella, are unsure what's going on:
-- THE VAN SMASHES into the back of Bella's truck
-
-- Then SPINS around, once again careening toward her and
Edward, then suddenly
-
--EDWARD'S HANDS are creating a deep dent in the side of the
van's body as it shudders to a stop, a foot from Bella.
-- Edward literally pushes the van away.
Then silence. A long beat, void of any sound, as Bella looks at
Edward, trying to absorb what just happened. Edward's fear for
her is still alive on his face. She starts to speak but..
.
THE SCREAMING begins, yelling, calls for help. People leap to
Tyler's aid, run to Bella and Edward. Bella SEES the onion on the
ground, smashed as she would have been. As everyone sweeps in,
Edward moves into the b.g. Mike and Eric run to Bella
-
MIKE ERIC
Are you okay!? Are you What happened!? Did anyone
hurt?! see what happened?
!
Amid the chaos, Bella sees EDWARD'S SIBLINGS looking at
Edward. But they show no hint of concern for his safety.
Instead, they look at him with disapproval... and fury.
38 INT. HOSPITAL - TREATMENT AREA - DAY 38
The double doors BURST open as Charlie runs in, face white
with terror. He spots
-

25.
BELLA - sitting on a gurney, the E.R. DOCTOR looking into her
eyes with a pen light. On the next gurney over, Tyler, the
van's driver, lies with a mild head wound. Charlie rushes up.
CHARLIE
Bells. Are you alright?
BELLA
I'm fine, dad. Calm down.
TYLER
I'm so sorry, Bella. I tried to stop.
BELLA
It's okay, Tyler.
CHARLIE
It sure as hell is not okay.
BELLA
Dad, it's not his fault-
CHARLIE
(stern, cutting her off)
We nearly lost you.
BELLA
But you didn't.
He'd hug her, if that was who he, or who she was. Instead,
he glares at Tyler.
CHARLIE
You can kiss your license goodbye.
DR. CULLEN (O.S.
)
I heard the Chief's daughter was here.
They look up as DR. CARLISLE CULLEN, mid 30's, approaches, blond,
movie star handsome. His face is kind, but pale, tired.
CHARLIE
Good. Dr. Cullen.
DR. CULLEN
(to E.R. Doctor)
I've got this one, Jackie.
The E.R. Doctor hands Dr. Cullen the chart, exits. Dr. Cullen
reviews her chart, then feels the back of her head as..
.

26.
DR. CULLEN
You have a nice knot growing back
there, but your x-rays show no
indication of concussion.
TYLER
I'm so sorry, Bella. I'm really
-
Charlie abruptly pulls the curtain between them.
BELLA
It would have been a lot worse if Edward
hadn't knocked me out of the way.
CHARLIE
Edward? Your boy?
Dr. Cullen quickly looks back at the chart. Bella's
intuition flickers, sensing he knows something. She presses.
BELLA
It was amazing he got to me so
fast. He was nowhere near me.
DR. CULLEN
(smiles)
As long as you're safe.
INT. HOSPITAL - RECEPTION - DAY 39
Charlie and Bella exit the treatment area.
CHARLIE
I just have to sign some paperwork.
You better call your mom.
BELLA
You told her?! She's probably freaking.
He shrugs and hurries off. Bella shakes her head, pulls out her
cell phone. Is about to dial, but then sees down the hall..
.
BELLA'S POV - EDWARD, ROSALIE, AND DR. CULLEN
Rosalie is clearly furious at Edward who stands his ground.
Dr. Cullen plays intermediary.
ROSALIE
This isn't just about you, it's about
all of us -
-
Dr. Cullen sees Bella and stops Rosalie
-
DR. CULLEN
Let's take this in my office.

27.
Rosalie glares at Edward as she goes off with Dr. Cullen. Edward
adopts a nonchalant air as Bella approaches, determined.
BELLA
Can I talk to you for a moment?
(off his nod)
How did you get over to me so quickly?
EDWARD
I was standing right next to you.
BELLA
You were next to your car, across
the lot.
He steps closer to her. His expression turns icy hard.
EDWARD
No, I wasn't.
She won't be bullied. Steps closer to him.
BELLA
Yes. You were.
EDWARD
You're confused. You hit your head.
BELLA
I know what I saw.
EDWARD
And what, exactly, was that?
BELLA
You stopped that van. You pushed
it away.
EDWARD
No one will believe that.
BELLA
I wasn't planning to tell anyone.
This registers with Edward. They're inches from each other,
the tension thick.
BELLA
I just want to know the truth.
EDWARD
Can't you just thank me and get
over it?
BELLA
Thank you.

28.
A long beat as they look at each other, angry, defensive... and
without a doubt, attracted.
EDWARD
You're not going to let it go, are you?
BELLA
No.
EDWARD
(turns, walks away)
Then I hope you enjoy disappointment.
BELLA
Why did you even bother?
He stops, a beat. Looks back at her, unexpectedly vulnerable.
EDWARD
... I don't know.
And he keeps walking. Off Bella, confused, frustratingly
attracted, and absolutely determined to find out the truth.
BELLA (V.O.
)
That was the first night I dreamed
of Edward Cullen..
.
40 DREAM SEQUENCE - UNDERWATER 40
Bella swims, white skin aglow, hair floating weightlessly,
sensually... suddenly, something BLASTS past her. She spins.
It's gone. Something BLASTS behind her. She spins again -
to find herself face to face with
-
EDWARD ... Bella reaches for him, but he abruptly springs
backward, just out of reach.
SMASH TO:
41 INT. BELLA'S ROOM - ON BELLA - NIGHT 41
-as she bolts up awake. In that split second, in the darkness,
she SEES Edward, watching her. She SNAPS on the light -- the
room is empty. Was she dreaming?
42 EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - PARKING LOT - DAY 42
Bella stands in the exact spot of the accident. Behind her
on the lawn, several CLASSES congregate, gathering for
a
field trip. Mr. Molina is in charge.
MR. MOLINA
Make sure I get your permission slips.

29.
PUSH IN ON BELLA'S FACE staring at the skid marks on the
pavement..
.
FLASH POP TO THE VAN REELING RIGHT FOR HER
-
FLASH POP TO EDWARD'S HANDS STOPPING THE VAN
-
FLASH POP TO EDWARD ON TOP OF HER, THE PROXIMITY, ELECTRICITY
-
BACK ON BELLA, blushing at the memory. Then she SEES Edward
arrive with Alice and Jasper. She watches him, barely noticing as
Mike trots up to her -
-
MIKE
(ala Dr. Frankenstein)
Look! You're moving. You're ALIVE!
BELLA
... Yeah, false alarm..
.
MIKE
Actually, I'm glad you're not dead
‘cause - well, that would suck, plus
I
wanted to ask you - even though it's,
like, a month away..
.
But Bella's distracted by Edward. Mike's VOICE DIPS as..
.
BELLA'S POV - ACROSS THE LAWN
Edward, head down, is in quiet conference with Jasper and Alice.
Abruptly, he looks up, as if listening to her and Mike, though
he's too far away to hear. Bella quickly refocuses on Mike.
MIKE
So what do you think?
(off her blank look)
You want to go? To prom. With me.
BELLA
(realizing, horrified)
Prom. As in dance. I, uh - have to go
-somewhere. To Jacksonville. Yeah.
MIKE
You can't go another weekend?
BELLA
Non-refundable ticket. Maybe you
should ask Jessica.
Mike follows Bella's eyes way across the lawn to Jessica.
She smiles at them -- Suddenly Edward crosses in front of
Jessica. He seems to be smirking..
.

30.
43 INT. COMMUNITY COLLEGE GREENHOUSE - FIELD TRIP - DAY 43
Mr. Molina and a Tour Guide lead several dozen kids through
the greenhouse. Bella keeps an eye on Edward who's up ahead
with Alice and Jasper. Mr. Molina demonstrates the compost
machine as the students mess around.
MR. MOLINA
...c'mon, Eric, stuff that compost
down deep... that's it..
.
(the machine gurgles and spins)
... now Tyler, take a big steaming
cup of “compost tea.” This is
recycling at its most basic level -
-
hey, don't drink that!
When Bella sees Edward pause by an ancient staghorn fern,
alone, she takes a breath for courage and strides up to him.
BELLA
Hello, Edward.
He glances at her, merely nodding. We notice his FISTS clench,
and unclench. Bella looks at him, appalled by his rudeness.
BELLA
Really?
No response. She turns, starts to walk away.
EDWARD
What's in Jacksonville?
She turns back to him.
BELLA
How did you know about that?
EDWARD
You didn't answer my question.
BELLA
You haven't answered any of mine.
You won't even say hello.
EDWARD
Hello.
BELLA
And how did you stop that van?
EDWARD
Adrenaline rush. Very common.
Google it. 31.
BELLA
(not buying it)
Floridians. That's what's in
Jacksonville.
She turns to storm off but she stumbles over the irrigation
hose. Edward steadies her, catching her scent -- still so
powerful... He clenches his jaw.
EDWARD
It helps if you actually watch
where you put your feet.
Insulted, she keeps moving. He keeps pace, serious now.
EDWARD
I know I've been rude, but it's for
the best.
She just looks at him like he's crazy. He walks away as
Jessica suddenly rushes up.
JESSICA
Guess who just asked me to prom!
Bella smiles.
JESSICA
I totally thought Mike was going to
ask you, Bella. Is it gonna be
weird?
BELLA
No way. Zero weirdness. You guys
are great together.
JESSICA
I know, right?
Giddy, Jessica rushes to catch up with Angela. Bella heads
out the door that leads to
-
EXT. COMMUNITY COLLEGE GREENHOUSE - THE BUSES (CONTINUOUS)44
--where everyone's looking at the COMPOST “WORM BOX”, grossing
each other out with the slimy creatures. As Bella backs away,
Edward steps up.
EDWARD
Bella, it would be better if we
weren't friends.
BELLA
(wounded)
Too bad you didn't figure that out
earlier.
(MORE)

32.
BELLA (cont'd)
You could have let the van crush me
and saved yourself all this regret.
EDWARD
(snapping, angry)
You think I regret saving you?
BELLA
I know you do.
EDWARD
(furious)
You don't know anything.
His harshness stings her. Suddenly, Alice appears at
Edward's side. She eyes Bella with curiosity.
ALICE
The bus is leaving.
(to Bella)
Hi. Will you be riding with us?
EDWARD
No. Our bus is full.
He purposefully walks Alice away. But he glances back at
Bella with, is that... remorse? She doesn't see it.
INT. CHARLIE'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - EVENING 45
Bella enters, throws down her book bag and coat, still angry.
She starts upstairs but Charlie enters from the kitchen.
CHARLIE
Your mother called. Again.
BELLA
Your fault, for telling her about
the accident.
CHARLIE
She always did know how to worry.
(hint of sadness)
But... she's changed, too. She
seems happy. Phil sounds all
right.
BELLA
He is.
She continues upstairs, glancing at her parents' WEDDING PHOTO.
Off Bella's FACE, we MATCH CUT -
-

33.
46 INT. HIGH SCHOOL - CAFETERIA - ON BELLA'S FACE - DAY 46
-- as she pushes through the doors. She glances over at the
CULLEN TABLE, Edward with his siblings. He doesn't look at her.
Anger and determination set in again as Bella joins Eric,
Jessica, Mike and Angela. She drops her book bag on a seat
-
ERIC
La Push, baby. You in?
BELLA
Should I know what that means?
MIKE
La Push beach, down on the Quileute
rez. We're all going after school.
Big swell coming in.
ERIC
And I don't just surf the internet.
JESSICA
Eric, you stood up once. On a foam
board.
ANGELA
There's whale watching, too. Come with.
ERIC
La Push, baby.
BELLA
I'll go if you stop saying that.
47 THE SALAD BAR STATION - MINUTES LATER 47
Bella artfully designs an architectural salad. As she
reaches for an APPLE, Edward is suddenly next to her
-
EDWARD
(charmed)
Edible art..
.
Startled, she fumbles and drops the apple -- Edward catches
it with his foot, hackeysack style, then bounces it back into
his hand, the red of the apple, stark against his pale skin.
He presents it to her with small smile.
BELLA
Thanks... but your mood swings are
giving me whiplash.
EDWARD
I said it would be better if we weren't
friends, not that I didn't want to be. 34.
BELLA
What does that even mean?
EDWARD
It means if you were smart, you'd
avoid me.
Edward inadvertently glances at his four inhumanly beautiful
siblings, who wait for him, expectantly, at their table.
She notes her own, very human friends monitoring this
conversation from their table. Mike glowers jealously.
BELLA
So let's say, for argument's sake,
that I'm not smart. Would you talk
to me? Tell me the truth?
EDWARD
Probably not. I'd rather hear your
theories.
BELLA
Okay... how ‘bout radioactive
spiders? Kryptonite?
EDWARD
(levels his gaze,
challenging)
You're talking about superheroes.
What if I'm not a hero? What if
I'm a bad guy?
BELLA
(beat, looking closer at him)
No. I don't believe that. You're
not bad. You can be a jerk, but
it's like this... mask. To keep
people away.
He's taken aback by her honesty, her insight, drawn in by her..
.
BELLA
Look, why don't we just - hang out.
Like... come to the beach with us.
It'll be fun - sand fleas, wind burn,
salt water stinging your eyes..
.
EDWARD
(small smile, considering
it)
Which beach?
BELLA
La Push. 35.
His smile lessens almost imperceptibly.
BELLA
Is something wrong with that beach?
Edward glances over at Mike - the two exchange cold looks.
EDWARD
It's just a little crowded.
Off Bella, as Edward walks away..
.
48 EXT. LA PUSH BEACH - DAY 48
It's freezing, but Mike, Tyler, Jessica and others suit up
for a surf. Eric hangs with them. Bella wanders by the
driftwood with Angela, who takes photographs.
ANGELA
I keep thinking Eric's going to ask me
to prom, then he just... doesn't.
BELLA
You could ask him.
(off Angela's flustered
look)
Take control. You're a strong
independent woman.
ANGELA
I am?
JACOB (O.S.
)
Bella!
She looks up to see three Quileute boys approaching the group;
Jacob Black, and SAM and EMBRY. Bella smiles at Jacob.
BELLA
Guys, this is Jacob. Are you
stalking me?
JACOB
You're on my rez, remember? You
surfing?
BELLA
Definitely not.
JESSICA
(teasing)
Keep her company. Her date bailed.
ERIC
What date?

36.
JESSICA
She invited Edward.
BELLA
(embarrassed)
To be polite.
ANGELA
I think it's nice she invited him.
No one ever does.
MIKE
Because Cullen's a freak.
SAM
You got that right.
BELLA
You know them?
SAM
(sharply)
The Cullens don't come here.
Jacob shoots Sam a look, shakes his head. Bella registers this.
A beat, then she casually pulls Jacob aside
-
BELLA
You want to go look at tide pools?
She offers an awkwardly flirtatious smile. He grins,
infatuated. As they head toward the water..
.
EXT. LA PUSH BEACH - LATER DAY 49
Bella and Jacob wander near the water, looking out to sea for
whales. The surfers are out on the waves. She nudges him,
continuing her attempt at flirtation..
.
BELLA
So, what did your friend mean about
the Cullens not coming here?
JACOB
Oops. Caught that, huh?
He moves closer to her, lowering his voice for mock-secrecy.
JACOB
I'm not supposed to say anything.
Bella gives him her best alluring smile.
BELLA
I can keep a secret..
.

37.
JACOB
(laughing)
It's just an old scary story. Did
you know the Quileutes are
supposedly descended from wolves?
BELLA
Like fur, fangs ... doggy breath?
Jacob chuckles. Bella smiles and prompts him to continue..
.
BELLA
So the legend about the Cullens is..
.
JACOB
Well, they're supposedly descended
from this, like..
.
(in a spooky voice)
“enemy clan.” ... But they
claimed to be different, so we made
a treaty with them.
BELLA
Didn't they just move here?
JACOB
Or just moved back.
BELLA
Riiiight. So what was this treaty?
JACOB
(whispering)
If they promised to stay off Quileute
lands, we wouldn't expose what they
really were to the pale-faces..
.
Jacob pauses dramatically --Bella shivers.
GIRL (O.S)
AAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!
!
Bella JUMPS at the bloodcurdling scream, as Angela runs past,
chased by Eric waving a dead crustacean. Jacob smirks and
starts back to the group.
BELLA
Wait... what were they really?
JACOB
(laughing)
It's just a story, Bella.
Off Bella, with more unanswered questions..
.

38.
50 EXT. SHACK COMMUNITY ON THE RIVER - LATE AFTERNOON 50
A collection of haphazard shacks and boat docks, connected by
wood plank sidewalks. FIND Waylon Forge (the hippy logger
who used to play Santa Claus) scraping paint off his boat,
swigging a pint as he listens to his prehistoric Walkman.
His old DOG lies next to him as the sounds of the forest and
river chirp and buzz. Waylon sings along to his Walkman..
.
Suddenly, the sounds of nature abruptly SILENCE themselves. The
dog raises his head, starts to GROWL. Waylon doesn't notice.
STAY ON WAYLON, singing, working... until he looks up and
realizes the dog's gone.
WAYLON
Jerry?
Waylon pulls off the headphones. WHISTLES. No dog. Waylon
walks up a walkway... then sees a DOG LEG, sticking out from
under a bush.
WAYLON
Come on, Jerry, you old mutt..
.
He pulls at the leg. It's detached. He reels back, stumbling
onto his boat, frantically untying the line and pushing out
-
ON THE WATER - Waylon floats, breath short, listening acutely.
WAYLON'S POV -ON THE WOODS lining the river. Ominous
darkness. A NOISE. He jerks around. Nothing. Then
suddenly, his boat ROCKS violently; he spins
-
A MAN - now stands on the bow. JAMES, 30, pale white.
A
vampire. But his eyes, unlike the Cullens, are a deep,
sinister BURGUNDY, and absolutely lethal. His catlike
movements are always on the edge of a crouch.
WAYLON
H-how did you do that?
JAMES
Always the same inane questions..
.
Waylon turns but a woman LEAPS onto the bow --it's VICTORIA,
26, chaotic red hair filled with leaves from the woods.
Terrified, Waylon spins around to see LAURENT, 28, glossy
black hair, olive skin, lounging on his boat seat. All three
Nomads wear frayed clothes, and all three are bare foot.
JAMES
“What do you want?


39.
VICTORIA
“Why are you doing this?

LAURENT
(sighs, slight French
accent)
... James, must we?
JAMES
The question should be, “will it hurt?

Victoria grins sadistically. Then with lightening fast
speed, the three of them VIOLENTLY LUNGE
-
SMASH TO BLACK:
51 FADE IN ON EDWARD'S FACE AGAINST BLACKNESS 51
SNAPSHOTS of his eyes, his cheekbones, his lips..
.
52 INT. BELLA'S ROOM - ON HER FACE - MORNING 52
As she sits in front of her computer, lost in thought. She
shakes herself out of it and types into her search engine
“Quileute legends, Olympic Peninsula.” An AD pops up,
“Thunderbird & Whale Book Store, Port Angeles.” Bella,
intrigued, clicks on it..
.
53 EXT. FORKS HIGH SCHOOL - SUNNY DAY 53
The sun has come out and so has the skin. Kids are in shorts
though it's still barely sixty degrees. Everyone eats lunch
outdoors. Bella searches the crowd for Edward.
JESSICA (O.S.
)
He's not here.
She looks down to find Jessica sitting on the grass.
JESSICA
Whenever the weather's nice, the
Cullens disappear.
BELLA
They just... ditch?
JESSICA
No, Dr. and Mrs. Cullen yank ‘em
out for hiking and camping and
stuff. I tried the idea out on my
parents. Not even close.
Bella registers this as Angela suddenly jumps on them.

40.
ANGELA
I'm going to the prom with Eric!
I
just asked him, I took control!
(hugs Bella)
Are you sure you have to go out of town?
BELLA
It's a family thing.
JESSICA
Oh my God, we need to hit the
stores in Port Angeles before the
dresses get cleaned out.
BELLA
Port Angeles?..
.
(a plan forming in her
mind)
Can I go with you guys?
ANGELA
Thank God. We need your opinion.
Off Bella, that's not really what she had in mind..
.
54 INT. BOUTIQUE, PORT ANGELES -ON BELLA'S FACE- AFTERNOON 54
-- antsy, distracted, as Jessica and Angela try on dresses.
Bella pulls a Mapquest print-out from her purse -- it reads,
“Thunderbird and Whale Book Store.” Jessica flounces out of
the changing room, posing provocatively.
JESSICA
I think this halter makes my boobs
look big. What do you think,
Bella?
Outside the window, a group of rowdy FRAT BOYS head toward
a
bar. Two of them stare at Jessica in her low-cut dress.
Embarrassed, she turns back to Bella.
JESSICA
Bella?
BELLA
(absently)
It looks great.
JESSICA
You said that about the last five
dresses.
ANGELA
(empathetic)
You're not very good at this, are you?

41.
BELLA
Maybe I should just go check out the
book store and meet you at the
restaurant later.
ANGELA
You sure?
Bella nods, heads out. Jessica's looks in the mirror again.
JESSICA
She was right about this halter,
though. It does look great.

56 OMITTED 56
57 EXT. THUNDERBIRD AND WHALE BOOKSTORE/STREETS - NIGHT 57
Bella exits, thumbing through a BOOK she just bought. She
heads down the sidewalk, but then hears FOOTSTEPS behind her.
She turns, doesn't see anyone. She puts the book in her
shoulder bag and continues.
UNKNOWN POV - ON BELLA -someone's following her. She looks
around, changing course to cut across a parking lot. Unknown
POV gets closer... and closer, until she reaches
-
58 EXT. WAREHOUSE AT END OF PARKING LOT - NIGHT 58
Isolated. Bella, breath short, scared, turns around just as -
-
TWO MEN emerge from the shadows, not vampires, but the Frat
Boys, really wasted now.
FRAT BOY #
1
Wanna beer?
She looks to her left; the other TWO GUYS are there. She's
cornered. She takes her purse from around her shoulder.
BELLA
Look, just take my bag.
FRAT BOY #
2
We don't want your bag.
She takes a defensive stance and wraps the strap around her
wrist to use her purse as a mace. They chortle derisively.
But when Frat Boy #1 comes near, she swings it, hits him in
the groin. The BOOK in her bag doubles him over. The other
three laugh, and start to close in. But suddenly
-

HEADLIGHTS blind them. A silver Volvo screeches up. The
Frat Boys dive out of the way. The passenger-side door
opens. It's Edward. She's too stunned to even move.

42.
EDWARD
Get in.
She finally does. But Frat Boy #2 jumps into the game and
rushes Edward's side of the car
-
Edward SCREECHES to a halt and is out of the car and facing
Frat Boy #2 so fast, neither the Frat Boys, nor Bella, see it.
Nor does Bella see Edward's GLARE, so chilling, so animalistic
in its fury that Frat Boy #2, scared, instinctively backs off.
As Edward climbs back into the car, Bella just stares at him.
59 INT. EDWARD'S CAR - DRIVING - NIGHT 59
Bella continues to stare. She sees that he's seething with anger,
hands gripping the steering wheel, jaw clenched.
BELLA
What -- no, how did you find --
?
EDWARD
(through gritted teeth)
I should go back and rip their heads off.
BELLA
No. Bad idea.
EDWARD
You don't know the vile, repulsive
things they were thinking.
BELLA
And you do?
EDWARD
(covering)
Not hard to guess.
60 EXT. WATERFALL RESTAURANT - FRONT ENTRANCE - NIGHT 60
Jessica and Angela exit the restaurant as Bella approaches.
ANGELA
Where were you!? We left you a message.
JESSICA
We waited, but we were starving
-
Then they see Edward behind her, climbing out of his car.
They freeze, agog. He's composed now, making an effort to be
charming. And they are charmed.
EDWARD
Sorry I kept Bella from dinner. We
ran into each other and got talking. 43.
JESSICA
I - we - understand. We were
just... leaving, so
-
The two girls start to go. Bella is forced to go with them.
BELLA
Okay, well. Thank you.
She starts to follow the girls. Edward is torn, then abruptly
-
EDWARD
(abruptly)
Maybe I should make sure Bella gets
something to eat.
(off Bella's surprised
look)
... If you'd like. Then I could
drive you back myself.
ANGELA
That's so... thoughtful.
JESSICA
Really thoughtful.
BELLA
(debates, then decides)
I could eat.
As he guides her off, the two girls share a look, and
a
noiseless scream of excitement.
EXT. WATERFALL RESTAURANT - DINING PATIO - NIGHT 61
Bella and Edward sit on the deck. A dramatic waterfall
shimmers behind them.
A waitress places a steaming plate of mesquite roasted salmon
in front of Bella and nothing in front of Edward. She exits.
BELLA
You're not eating?
EDWARD
I'm on a special diet.
BELLA
Like South Beach?
EDWARD
Not exactly.
She looks at him curiously as she takes a bite.

44.
BELLA
So how ‘bout some answers?
EDWARD
Yes, no. To get to the other side,
and 1 point 772453851.
BELLA
I didn't ask for the square root of pi.
EDWARD
You knew that?
BELLA
How did you know where I was?
EDWARD
I didn't.
She shakes her head, frustrated, and turns to go inside -
-
EDWARD
(stops her, sincerely)
Don't go.
He seems torn by some internal dilemma. Then finally..
.
BELLA
Were you following me?
EDWARD
I feel very protective of you.
BELLA
So that's a yes?
EDWARD
Yes, I followed you. I tried to
keep my distance...until you needed
help.
BELLA
(putting everything together)
You said before... That you heard
what those guys were thinking..
.
Can you... read minds?
EDWARD
(shrugs)
I'm thinking of getting a nine-
hundred number.
BELLA
(trying to grasp)
Alright, so you read minds... What am
I thinking? Wait -- okay now, go.

45.
EDWARD
I have no idea. I can read every
mind in there, except yours.
(points at people
inside)
Work, sex, money, sex, sex, boyfriend
-
(points at Bella)
Nothing. It's quite frustrating.
BELLA
Why, what's wrong with me?
EDWARD
I tell you I read minds and you think
there's something wrong with you?
He smiles, charmed by her. But his smile fades, that torn
look returns. He holds onto the rail, looking out.
BELLA
What is it?
EDWARD
I... don't have the strength to
stay away from you anymore.
She's surprised. And thrilled.
BELLA
Edward, you don't have to.
He's drawn in by her encouraging gaze... but he closes his
eyes a beat, and turns back to the water.
EDWARD
(almost to himself)
This is wrong.
BELLA
Edward
-
EDWARD
You're cold. We should go.
He walks away before she can ask any more questions..
.
62 EXT. ROAD - NIGHT 62
Edward's Volvo speeds along the two lane highway.
63 INT. EDWARD'S VOLVO - NIGHT 63
Bella glances at Edward, might ask him more questions but he seems
to be wrestling with his own thoughts. Finally..
