Twilight Saga: New Moon Page #10

CHARLIE:

(suspicious)

You hate shopping.

BELLA:

That's how good a friend I am.

CHARLIE:

(somewhat appeased)

Alright. Shopping.

BELLA (PRE-LAP)

Hi Jessica, it's Bella...

INT. BELLA'S TRUCK - DAY

Bella drives, talking on her cell (hands-free, of course).

BELLA:

... Yes, Bella Swan. Hey, any chance

you feel like shopping tomorrow?

EXT. PORT ANGELES - MOVIE THEATER - NIGHT

Bella and Jessica exit the theater. A MARQUEE behind them

bears the title of a ZOMBIE film.

BELLA:

I don't get why are there so many

zombie movies.

JESSICA:

It's, like, a metaphor? For crass

consumerism or something.

Bella glances at her.

JESSICA:

Not that you'd know anything about

consuming. You didn't buy anything

today.

BELLA:

I bought something.

JESSICA:

Socks don't count. `Course, I was

surprised you even called.

BELLA:

I've been kind of... out of it.

32.

JESSICA:

Kind of? I mean, at first I was

worried. Then I'm like, okay, she's

still bumming? It's not like I wasn't

going through things, too. Like Mike

deciding he wanted to "just be friends?"

That was really hard and --

MAN'S VOICE (O.S.)

How `bout a ride, girls?

As Bella looks ACROSS THE STREET, time suddenly SLOWS --

BELLA'S POV - A DIVE BAR, "ONE EYED PETE'S" (SLOW MOTION)

-- FOUR ROUGH-LOOKING GUYS loiter out front next to their

motorcycles. They're in shadow, we can't see their faces.

OFF BELLA WE SMASH TO --

FLASHPOPS:
Bella surrounded by FOUR GUYS ("Twilight");

Edward's Volvo skidding to a stop; Edward staring them down --

BACK ON BELLA, a chill going down her spine, FREEZING her as

she stares at the foursome across the street...

Then suddenly -- a pair of lips lean next to her ear --

EDWARD (O.S.)

Move, Bella.

She turns to find Edward standing next to her. Or so it

seems. But he's an illusion; an apparition - which becomes

clear when --

Jessica steps right into him, dissolving him to nothingness, and

TIME ABRUPTLY SPEEDS UP AGAIN --

JESSICA:

Come on.

BELLA:

I know them... I think...

JESSICA:

Can we just go --

Jessica pulls at her arm, but Bella shakes her off.

BELLA:

I want to see something.

33.

Much to Jessica's frustration, Bella begins to cross the

street toward the Guys, frightened but drawn.

GUY #1

Alright, we got a taker.

The apparition of EDWARD REAPPEARS in her path this time.

She stops.

EDWARD:

Turn around, Bella. This is

dangerous.

But when she steps backward, he fades. Testing her

hallucination, she strides forward again -- Edward's

apparition reappears, strides alongside her --

EDWARD:

Stop. Now.

She's almost smiling as she reaches the Guys, finally able

to see them clearly -- and stops, realizing --

BELLA:

... You're not them.

And with that.... Edward disappears.

GUY #1

We'll be whoever you want, honey.

Guy #2 pulls up right next to her on his motorcycle.

GUY #2

Ready for a thrill ride?

GUY #2 extends his hand to help her onto the bike. She

hesitates.

EDWARD (O.S.)

Walk away. Go.

Edward's apparition appears on the other side of the bike.

Bella looks at him with determination -- then climbs on to

the back of the bike --

BELLA:

I can break promises, too.

GUY #2

(confused)

... Okay.

34.

JESSICA:

Bella!

The bike LURCHES forward, going way too fast. As the wind

blasts her hair back, she realizes this might have been a

mistake --

BELLA:

... Wait

Guy #2 doesn't hear her, guns the engine, going faster --

BELLA'S POV - DIRECTLY AHEAD

Edward stands in road, directly in their path, more present,

more clear than ever. The bike's headlight illuminates him,

racing toward him --

BELLA:

Stop - stop! - STOP!

The bike abruptly pulls up short.

GUY #2

Hey, I didn't force nothing on you.

Bella scrambles off, stumbling in the process. Edward is

gone.
