I felt like – like I don’t know what. Like this wasn’t real. Like I was in some Goth version of a bad sitcom. Instead of being the A/V dweeb about to ask the head cheerleader to the prom, I was the finished-second-place werewolf about to ask the vampire’s wife to shack up and procreate. Nice.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.185

Over my pile of ashes.
Rosalie Hale, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.186

He was right – she was beating herself up about hurting his feelings. The girl was a classic martyr. She’d totally been born in the wrong century. She should have lived back when she could have gotten herself fed to some lions for a good cause.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.187

The composure he was trying to keep up for Bella was shaky. I could see how close he was to that burning man he’d been outside.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.187

I’m not going to lie, Bells. You’re hideous.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.187

Did you know that ‘I told you so’ has a brother, Jacob? His name is ‘Shut the hell up.’
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.188

To talk some sense into you. There’s a battle that’s lost before it starts.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.188

I did know this – every second I spent with her was only going to add to the pain I would have to suffer later. Like a junkie with a limited supply, the day of reckoning was coming for me. The more hits I took now, the harder it would be when my supply ran out.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.188

Is dementia one of your symptoms?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.189

I’m not saying things will work out easily, Jake. But how could I have lived through all that I’ve lived through and not believe in magic by this point?
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.189

If she hadn’t looked so fragile I would’ve been screaming. As it was, I did growl at her.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.189

If you think that imprinting could ever make sense of this insanity… Do you really think that just because I might someday imprint on some stranger it would make this right? Tell me what the point was then, Bella! What was the point of me loving you? What was the point of you loving him? When you die, how is that ever right again? What’s the point to all the pain? Mine, yours, his! You’ll kill him, too, not that I care about that. So what was the point of your twisted love story, in the end? If there is any sense, please show me, Bella, because I don’t see it.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.189

You’re dying for nothing, Bella! Nothing!
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.190

I took her face in my hand. I didn’t have to remind myself to be gentle. Everything about her screamed breakable.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.190

Emergency vampirization.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.191

Carlisle only changed them because it was that or death. He doesn’t end lives, he saves them.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.191

I realized I needed her to stay alive, in some form. In any form.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.191

Oh, I hadn’t heard the great news. A bouncing baby boy, huh? Shoulda brought some blue balloons.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.192

You’re very pessimistic, Jacob.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.192

Shut up, Bella. You can spout this crap to your bloodsucker, but you’re not fooling me.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.193

There was no point. I would never be able to save her from herself. I’d never been able to do that.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.194

Please, Jacob. You think I should kill my baby and replace it with some generic substitute?
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.195

You don’t have to hurt him. You could make him happy again, Bella.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.195

I told you he was going crazy. Literally, Bells.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.196

There isn’t much you wouldn’t do for me, either, is there? I really don’t know why you bother. I don’t deserve either of you.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.196

I wish I could explain it to you right so that you would understand. I can’t hurt him any more than I could pick up a gun and shoot you. I love him.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.196

Why do you always have to love the wrong things, Bella?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.197

I could feel the addiction sucking at me, trying to keep me near her.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.197

I’m not going to hang around and watch you die, Bella.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.197

I almost went back. I almost turned around and fell down on my knees and started begging again. But I knew that I had to quit Bella, quit her cold turkey, before she killed me, like she was going to kill him.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.197

You will not be cruel to him, Leah. Bella’s sacrifice is a heavy price, and we will all recognize that. It is against everything we stand for to take a human life. Making an exception to that code is a bleak thing. We will all mourn for what we do tonight.
Sam Uley, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.202

Carlisle Cullen. Looking at him without that hate clouding my eyes, I couldn’t deny that killing him was murder. He was good. Good as any human we protected. Maybe better. The others, too, I supposed, but I didn’t feel as strongly about them. I didn’t know them as well. It was Carlisle who would hate fighting back, even to save his own life. That’s why we would be able to kill him – because he wouldn’t want us, his enemies, to die. This was wrong. And it wasn’t just because killing Bella felt like suicide.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 10, p.205
