An [показать] AERIAL SWEEP over the lush green forests. We're back in the misty, damp beauty of the Pacific Northwest.. . 100. 136 EXT. CHARLIE'S HOUSE - BEAUTIFUL LATE AFTERNOON 136 At a picnic table, Charlie cleans a fish with a big knife. Edward waits awkwardly near his Volvo, dressed in an elegant suit. But even calm Edward is unnerved by Charlie's glare. The front door opens and they look up to see - BELLA --framed in the doorway in a stunning long dress. Edward is enchanted. Bella descends the steps with difficulty, due to her LEG CAST. Charlie edges out Edward to help her down. BELLA Alice lent me the dress. It was the only thing that would fit over my cast. Is it too... ? EDWARD You're perfect... I'll take good care of her, Chief. CHARLIE Heard that before. Edward moves to open the car door. Charlie holds Bella back. CHARLIE (sotto) I put new pepper spray in your bag. BELLA Dad. CHARLIE ... and... you look beautiful. Father and daughter share a smile.. . 137 EXT./INT. MANSION, VIEW POINT INN - TWILIGHT 137 Edward's Volvo pulls up to this lovely inn. He helps Bella out of the car, and begins to guide her through the dining room. Mr. Molina and other teachers are there. We may notice the back of a Redhead, mingling with the chaperones. BELLA I can't believe you're making me do this. He just grins. Edward guides her around a corner to.. . 138 EXT. MANSION BACKYARD (CONTINUOUS) - TWILIGHT 138 THE PROM - Monte Carlo style. Gaming tables and roulette wheels. Guys in tuxes and girls in gowns gamble for prizes, dance and socialize. 101. BELLA You really are trying to kill me. EDWARD Prom is an important rite of passage. I don't want you to miss anything. She can't be mad at him, just shakes her head affectionately. They continue into the prom. Several heads turn. Bella sees - THE DANCE FLOOR, where a gap has formed. In the middle, two couples whirl gracefully. It's Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett, looking absolutely stunning. Rosalie glances over; indifference has replaced fury. But Alice waves brightly. Bella returns it with a smile as we hear a crossfade into the next track- BELLA'S POV -- THE DJ BOOTH - It's Eric at the turntables, making the room bounce! Next to him, Angela wears the headphones, flipping through a stack of vinyl. They nod at Bella -- she shoots them a smile when - - A FLASHBULB gets her attention - BELLA'S POV - PHOTOGRAPHER'S STATION Mike and Jessica stand in front of an Aston Martin cut-out. Bella catches their eye -- Mike does his best James Bond impersonation. Jessica poses like Pussy Galore. Edward smirks, then turns to Bella - EDWARD Shall we? BELLA (laughs, then realizes) You're serious. He doesn't wait for an answer, more or less CARRIES her to the DANCE FLOOR -- then places her feet atop his own... and starts to move. She actually begins to enjoy it. EDWARD See? You're dancing. BELLA At prom. As they dance, she feels his grace, his strength. Becomes thoughtful. Finally, she looks at him. 102. BELLA Edward... why did you save me? (off his questioning look) If you'd let the venom spread, I could've been like you by now. EDWARD (stops, horrified) You don't know what you're saying. You don't want this. BELLA I want you. Always. EDWARD (angry) I won't end your life for you. He keeps dancing, slowly, hoping his was the last word. BELLA I'm dying anyway. Every minute, I get closer, older EDWARD That's how it's supposed to happen. BELLA Not the way Alice saw it. (off his sharp look) I heard her. She saw me like you. EDWARD Her visions change, Bella. BELLA Based on what someone decides. And I've decided. He looks at her, angry. EDWARD Is that what you dream about? Becoming a monster? BELLA I dream about being with you forever. EDWARD You really want this? BELLA Yes. He lowers his lips to her neck. One bite is all it would take. 103. EDWARD You're ready right now? BELLA Yes. His lips hover over her skin, a long beat... then he presses his lips to her throat. Not a bite. A kiss. He looks at her. EDWARD You're going to have a long and happy life with me. Isn't that enough? She looks at him... and finally smiles. BELLA For now. They WHIRL around, gliding on his grace, never looking away from one another, as we CRANE UP on them, in each other's arms.. . BELLA (V.O.) No one will surrender tonight. But I won't give in. I know what I want. CONTINUE UP AND BACK on the dance floor. We realize .. ... someone's watching it, looking down from the window of a second floor hotel room in the Inn. The MUSIC wafting up in echoes. PULL BACK to REVEAL.. VICTORIA, turning from the window. She's stylishly dressed now, but seething -- a low, sinister SNARL in the back of her throat. PUSH IN FAST ON HER FACE, AND INTO HER BURGUNDY EYES filled with vengeance as we - |
