New Moon: Chapters 8 & 9: Adrenaline & Third Wheel

Lines I love

I smiled tightly—it was still working—and ignored the questions. Jacob wasn't going to let anything serious happen to me.

I pushed hard against the gash, as if I could force the blood back inside my head.

I'd cheated—broken my promise. I'd been needlessly reckless. I felt a little less pathetic now that the promises had been broken on both sides.

I knew I would feel better tomorrow when I was with Jacob again. That made the empty hole and the familiar pain easier to bear;

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was like a lost moon—my planet destroyed in some cataclysmic, disaster-movie scenario of desolation—that continued, nevertheless, to circle in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity. [This makes my top 10 favorite quotes of the saga list.]

Mike turned away, but not before I saw his maybe-she's-crazy-after-all expression.


Lines/Things I hope are in the movie

"I told you so," the perfect voice murmured, crystal clear.

"Do you want to kill yourself, then? Is that what this is about?"

The voice in my head growled against the roar of the motorcycle. [I heard a rumor that during one of the kissing scenes between Edward and Bella, Rob actually groans. So hawt! Well, if that's true then I'd love to hear not only the phantom Edward's words, but also the sounds and his expressions of being afraid/angry about Bella's behavior.]

"Of course, you might be an exception. I bet you'd taste good." [I love the irony of Jake teasing her about that.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You'll come too, right?" I added quickly... So much for my chance to put some distance between us. I couldn't stand hurting Jacob; we seemed to be connected in an odd way, and his pain set off little stabs of my own. [I hope they can convey (foreshadowing!!!) how compelled Bella is to minimize the hurt she inflicts on Jacob]

Both Jacob and Mike had claimed the armrests on either side of me. Both of their hands rested lightly, palms up, in an unnatural looking position. Like steel bear traps, open and ready. [I already know this is in the movie. Amazing!]

[Word for word the entire scene outside the men's bathroom where Mike is puking his guts out. haha. I love that Jake is so upbeat about the conversation. And adorable.]
