I realized why her eyes begged for my understanding. She was protecting Jasper, at our expense, and maybe at Edward’s, too. I understood, and I did not think badly of her.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.426
It was amazingly easy to say his name now. I wasn’t sure what the difference was. Maybe because I wasn’t really planning on living much longer without seeing him. Or at all, if we were too late. It was comforting to know that I would have an easy out.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.431
You don’t get a lot of suicidal vampires.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.431
You know what. If we’re too late for Edward, I’m going to do my damnedest to get you back to Charlie, and I don’t want any trouble from you. Do you understand that?
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.431
Maybe, if I were very, very, very lucky, I would somehow be able to save Edward. But I wasn’t so stupid as to think that saving him would mean that I could stay with him. I was no different, no more special than I’d been before. There would be no new reason for him to want me now. Seeing him and losing him again… I fought back against the pain. This was the price I had to pay to save his life. I would pay it.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.432
Honestly, I think it’s all gotten beyond ridiculous. I’m debating whether to just change you myself.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.436
You are so bizarre, even for a human.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.437

Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.438
How strongly are you opposed to grand theft auto?
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.439
Sheesh, Alice. Could you pick a more conspicuous car to steal?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.439
Trust me, Bella. If anyone sets up a roadblock, it will be behind us.
Alice Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 19, p.440
Try not to trip. We don’t have time for a concussion today.
