Twilight Page #13

She laughs and backs out the door, onto

-

86 EXT. EDWARD'S ROOM - DECK (CONTINUOUS) 86

-- Bella backs up to the rail. Edward appears in the

doorway, shifting into a half-crouch, about to pounce.

BELLA:

Don't you dare -

Suddenly, she's airborne as he tackles her and they FLY OFF THE

DECK... then she finds herself

-

IN A TREE - in his arms. When she realizes where she is, she

laughs, delighted. It's infectious, he laughs heartily, too..

.

CUT AWAY TO:

87 INT. CULLEN HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - SAME 87

Esme and Dr. Cullen look out the window. Edward's LAUGHTER

filters inside to them; Esme, in turn, smiles.

ESME:

She's brought him to life.

DR. CULLEN

He's been alone too long... but how

can it end well?

ESME:

Alice has been wrong before.

67.

DR. CULLEN

Not often.

Esme turns to Dr. Cullen, gentle but absolutely firm.

ESME:

Carlisle. Bella is what he wants.

It will work out. Somehow.

Dr. Cullen smiles at her with love, then takes her hand as

they look back out the window..

.

EXT. TREE - SAME 88

Edward looks Bella in the eye.

EDWARD:

Trust me?

BELLA:

In theory.

EDWARD:

Then close your eyes.

She does, warily. He grips her more firmly, then LEAPS them to

another tree like a flying squirrel! Then, again, to the TOP of

another tree. He easily gets a foothold, while holding Bella.

EDWARD:

Open.

She does... to the most astonishing bird's eye VIEW of the

valley, river, and the mountains beyond. CAMERA whirls around

them allowing us a 360 degree view of their surroundings. Off

Bella's intoxicated face..

.

CUT AWAY TO:

A89 EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - DAY A89

Jessica pops a volleyball in the air, doing practice serves.

Angela takes a picture of her, then points her camera around,

looking for another shot. Eric studies some fliers

advertising the prom.

JESSICA:

Monte Carlo? That's our prom

theme?

ERIC:

Gambling, tuxedos and -

-

(ala Sean Connery)

Bond. James -- ow!

-- as Jessica head-butts the ball which hits him in the face.

68.

ANGELA:

Oh. My. God.

Angela, scanning for a shot, has frozen. Jessica and Eric

SEE:

-

BELLA AND EDWARD

-- arriving together. All eyes on campus are turning to

them, filled with curiosity, jealousy, envy.

BELLA:

Everyone's staring.

EDWARD:

Not that guy over -- yeah, he just

looked.

Off his rakish, but reassuring smile..

CLOSE ON A GERMAN SHEPHERD 89

Moving fast, tracking. INCLUDE CHARLIE holding the leash

-

EXT. FOREST - DAY

--It's a hunting party, several dogs, half a dozen armed men.

CHARLIE:

Guys, we got something

-

The Deputies hurry to Charlie. They gather around

-

A FOOTPRINT. The dogs start pulling them in a certain

direction. As the posse takes off at a sprint

-

UNKNOWN POV - ON CHARLIE, FROM A DISTANCE

We watch Charlie and the posse move away... REVERSE to find

-

JAMES - ATOP A KNOLL, WATCHING THEM

Laurent stands next to him. Victoria jogs up.

VICTORIA:

They took the bait.

JAMES:

By tomorrow they'll be half way to

Winnipeg.

Victoria lasciviously grabs James' shirt. Pulls him to her.

VICTORIA:

I love when men chase me.

69.

He grins, then starts taking off her clothes. They pull each

other toward the woods with carnal lust. It barely registers

with Laurent, who continues to watch the posse with concern.

90 EXT./INT. FORKS COFFEE SHOP - LATE AFTERNOON 90

Bella hurries toward the entrance, trying to keep the joy on her

face in check... with minimal success. Outside the door, she

passes Mike, hanging out with several of his basketball TEAMMATES.

MIKE:

Yo, Arizona. So. You and Cullen.

She shrugs, non-committal, but can't entirely hide a smile,

as she hurries inside to Charlie's table and slides in.

BELLA:

Sorry I'm late. Biology project.

Cora sets a top sirloin steak in front of Charlie, and plate

of seafood in front of Bella.

CHARLIE:

Ordered you the seafood combo.

BELLA:

Order one for yourself next time.

You should cut back on the steak.

CHARLIE:

I'm healthy as a horse.

CORA:

(concerned)

Say Chief, boys want to know, you

find anything down by Queets River

today?

Charlie's aware of the LOGGERS at the counter listening, too.

He frames his answer carefully to keep everyone calm.

CHARLIE:

The suspect's moving east. Kitsap

County Sheriff is taking over from

here. They're putting extra guys on.

CORA:

Hope they catch him fast.

She moves off, with a measure of relief. Charlie and Bella

pass each other the salt, butter for bread, etc., with an

easy rhythm now.

CHARLIE:

Your friends are flagging you.

70.

She turns to see Mike and the guys horsing around outside,

straws in their noses, making faces at her. She smiles.

CHARLIE:

It's okay you wanna join them. I'm

just gonna turn in early anyway.

BELLA:

Yeah, me, too.

CHARLIE:

It's a Friday night. Go out. The

Newton boy's got a big smile for

you. Nice family, the Newtons.

BELLA:

He's just a friend.

CHARLIE:

None of the boys in town interest you?

BELLA:

We're not really going to talk

about boys, are we?

CHARLIE:

Just... you should be around people.

I leave you alone too much.

BELLA:

(with genuine affection)

I've never minded being alone. Guess

I'm a lot like my dad that way.

Charlie smiles. These two have come a long way. Cora returns

-

CORA:

Berry cobbler, two forks.

She sets it between them. Off them, both reaching for forks..

.

91 INT. BELLA'S ROOM - NIGHT 91

Bella, dressed for bed, looks out the window as she talks on the

phone with Rene. Bella's euphoria still lingers in her eyes..

.

BELLA:

So spring training's going well?

INTERCUT WITH:

92 INT. CAFE - NIGHT 92

Rene talks on her cell. Phil is in the background, post-batting

practice, chowing down with a couple of teammates.

71.

RENE:

Phil's working hard. We're looking

around for a house to rent, in case

it becomes permanent. You'd like

Jacksonville, baby.

BELLA:

Actually, Forks is kind of growing on me.

RENE:

(stops, knows there's

more)

Could... a guy have something to do

with that?

BELLA:

(small smile)

Maybe..

.

RENE:

Tell me everything! Jock? Indie? Bet

he's smart. Is he smart?

BELLA:

(trying to avoid lies)

Well... he is kind of a history buff.

-- this as she turns to find

-

EDWARD LYING ON HER BED, smiling. She nearly drops the phone.

BELLA:

I, uh... have to go.

RENE:

No way, we gotta talk boys. Are

you being safe?

Edward shoots her a look, he heard that. She's mortified.

BELLA:

I'll call you later, Mom.

STAY ON BELLA who hangs up.

BELLA:

How did you get in here?

EDWARD:

The window. As always.

BELLA:

You've been here before?

EDWARD:

What else is there to do at night?

72.

She pushes him. He grabs her hand and playfully pulls her

onto the bed, wrestling as

-

BELLA:

You're a peeping Tom! Perv!

EDWARD:

Shh! The Chief will hear you!

But the electricity of their physical contact quickly overwhelms

them, their laughter quieting. He studies her face.

EDWARD:

I just... like watching over you.
