The redcoats are coming, the redcoats are coming.
Garrett, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.680
If any of the wolves stood with us, the Volturi would be sure to search out the rest. They had gambled their entire species on this stand. And we were going to lose.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.683
Aro, my old friend. It’s been centuries.
Carlisle Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.685
I have not committed the crime you are here to punish me for.
Carlisle Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.686
Truly, Carlisle, nothing would please me more than to preserve your life today.
Aro, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.686
So many pointless rules, so many unnecessary laws you create for yourself, Carlisle. How is it possible that you defend the breaking of one that truly matters?
Caius, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.686
Of course he wanted Edward. Once he could see into Edward’s mind, he would know all our thoughts. Except mine.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.689
The shield blew out from me in a bubble of sheer energy, a mushroom cloud of liquid steel. It pulsed like a living thing – I could feel it, from the apex to the edges.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.690
It was almost physically painful to do it, but reluctantly I pulled my shield back and left Edward exposed again. The laughing mood had vanished. I focused totally on Edward, ready to shield him instantly if something went wrong.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.691
Edward’s chin came up arrogantly, and he held his hand out to Aro as if he were conferring a great honor.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.691
Every secret thought, every strategy, every insight – everything Edward had heard in the minds around him during the last month – now was Aro’s. And further back – every vision of Alice’s, every quiet moment with our family, every picture in Renesmee’s head, every kiss, every touch between Edward and me… All of that was Aro’s now too.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.692
I never dreamed of the existence of such a thing in all my centuries. What an addition to our histories!
Aro, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.693
I think a compromise on this one point is certainly acceptable, under the circumstance. We will meet in the middle.
Aro, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.694
Emmett, because he was dying to go. Jacob, because he wouldn’t be able to bear being left behind. Both nodded. Emmett grinned.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.695
Interesting company you keep.
Demitri, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.696
You look good. Immortality suits you.
Felix, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.696
In truth, young Bella, immortality does become you most extraordinarily. It is as if you were designed for this life.
Aro, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.696
Calmly and carefully, brother. I know well how you love your justice, but there is no justice in acting against this unique little one for her parentage. And so much to learn, so much to learn! I know you don’t have my enthusiasm for collecting histories, but be tolerant with me, brother, as I add a chapter that stuns me with its improbability. We came expecting only justice and the sadness of false friends, but look what we have gained instead! A new, bright knowledge of ourselves, our possibilities.
Aro, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.698
They’re committed to protecting human life, Aro. That makes them able to coexist with us, but hardly with you. Unless you’re rethinking your lifestyle.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.699
So much to discuss. So much to decide. If you and your furry protector will excuse me, my dear Cullens, I must confer with my brothers.
Aro, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 36, p.700
