Bella: "Some say the world will end in fire/ Some say in ice/ From what I've tasted of desire/ I hold with those who favor fire/ But if I had to perish twice/ I think I know enough of hate/ To s ay that for destruction ice/ Is also great/ And would suffice."
Bella: Marriage is just... It's a piece of paper.
Edward: Where I'm from, it's the way one says, "I love you."
Bella: Well, where I come from, at my age, it's the way one says, "I just got knocked up."
Mike: "My fellow students." Right? Right? "We are the future." "Anything is possible if you just believe."
Jacob: Imprinting on someone is like... Like when you see her, everything changes. All of a sudden it's not gravity holding you to the planet, it's her. Nothing else matters. You would do anything, be anything for her.
Jacob: Better you be really dead than one of them.
Edward: Doesn't he own a shirt?
Billy: The Quileutes have been a small tribe at the beginning, but we have always had magic in our blood. We were great spirit warriors, shape-shifters that transformed to the powerful wolf. This enabled us to scare off our enemies and protect our tribe. One day, our warriors came across a creature. It looked like a man, but it was hard like stone and cold as ice. Our warriors' sharp teeth finally tore it apart, but only fire would completely destroy it. They lived in fear that the cold man was not alone. And they were right. She took her vengeance out on the village. Our elder chief, Taha Aki, was the only spirit warrior left to save the tribe after his son was killed. Taha Aki's third wife could see that he would lose. The third wife was no magical being, with no special powers but one, courage. The third wife's sacrifice distracted the cold woman long enough for Taha Aki to destroy her. She saved the tribe. Over time, our enemies have disappeared. But one remains, the cold ones. Our magic awakens when they're near, and we sense it now. We feel the threat in our blood. Something terrible is coming, and we must all be ready, all of us.
Edward Cullen: I know the consequences of the choices you're making. I've lived through it. And to let you suffer that...You believe I have a soul, and I don't. But to risk yours, just for the sake of never having to lose you, that's the most selfish thing I'll ever do.
Bella: I thought you'd be afraid that I'd be too different. You know, like, I wouldn't be warm, and I wouldn't smell the same.
Edward: You'll always be my Bella.
Jacob: You need to know the truth, Bella, understand all your options. And you need to know that I'm in love with you and I want you to choose me instead of him.
Jacob: You feel something else more me, you just won't admit. I'm not giving up. I'm gonna fight for you until your heart stops beating.
Jacob: You wouldn't have to change for me, Bella, or say goodbye to anybody. I can give you more than him. I mean, he probably can't even kiss you without hurting you. Feel that? Flesh and blood. And warmth.
Jacob: I kissed Bella. And she broke her hand. Punching my face. Total misunderstanding.
Rosalie: You have a choice. I didn't. None of us did. But you do, and you're choosing wrong. I don't care how miserable your human life is.
Bella: My life is not miserable. I mean, it's not perfect. Nobody's life is perfect.
Rosalie: Mine was. Absolutely perfect. There were things I still wanted, to be married, with a nice house and a husband to kiss me when he came home, a family of my own. Royce King was the most eligible bachelor in town. I barely knew him. But I was young. I was in love with the idea of love. On the last night of my life, I left a friend's house late. I wasn't far from home. They left me in the street, thinking I was dead. Believe me, I wanted to be. Carlisle found me, he smelled all the blood. Thought he was helping me. I got my revenge on them. One at a time. Saved Royce for last so that he knew that I was coming. I was a little theatrical back then. Things got better after I found Emmett. But we'll always be this. Frozen. Never moving forward. That's what I miss the most. Possibilities. Sitting on a front porch somewhere, Emmett, gray-haired, by my side, surrounded by our grandchildren. Their laughter.
Bella: I understand, that's what you want. But there's nothing I'm ever gonna want more than Edward.
Rosalie: You're wrong again. After you've been changed, there's one thing you'll want more, one thing you'll kill for. Blood.
Jessica: When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case, a princess. When we were ten, they asked again. We answered rock star, cowboy or, in my case, a gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this? Who the hell knows? This isn't the time to make hard-and-fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love a lot. Major in philosophy, because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing's permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask what we want to be, we won't have to guess. We'll know.
Bella: Was my right hook too subtle for you? That was me uninviting you.
Jasper: The two most important things to remember are first, never let them get their arms around you. They'll crush you instantly.And second, never go for the obvious kill. They'll be expecting that, and you will lose.
Jasper: Never lose focus.
Jasper: One more thing. Never turn your back on your enemy.
Jasper: I was the youngest major in the Texas Cavalry, all without having seen any real battle. Till I met a certain immortal. Maria. I was riding back to Galveston after evacuating a column of women and children when I saw them. I immediately offered them my aid.
Bella: Maria was creating an army?
Jasper: They were very common in the south. There were constant brutal battles for territory. Maria won them all. She was smart, careful, and she had me. I was her second in command. My ability to control emotions served her well. I trained her newborns, an endless occupation since she never let them live beyond their first year. It was my job to dispose of them. I could feel everything they felt. I thought what Maria and I had was love. But I was her puppet. She pulled the strings. I didn’t know there was another way till I found Alice. Now, she’d seen me coming of course.
Edward: The only way I can protect you is to be with you.
Jacob: Every choice has its consequences. Some more than others.
Bella: Don’t start. Everybody makes choices. You’re gonna have to learn to accept mine.
Jacob: But you can love more than one person at a time. I’ve seen it. With Sam, Emily, and Leah.
Bella: Well, I’m not a wolf. I can’t imprint.
Jacob: It has nothing to do with imprinting. It has to do with feeling something for somebody. And I know you feel something for me. I can sense how I make you feel, physically. I make you nervous.
Bella: Jake.
Jacob: Don’t worry. I promised not to kiss you again until you ask.
Edward: I promise to love you every moment of forever.
Jacob: Let's face it, I am hotter than you.
Jacob: You have to consider that I might be better for her than you are.
Edward: If we weren't natural enemies, and you weren't trying to steal my reason for existing, I might actually like you.
Jacob: Well if you weren't planning on sucking the life out of the girl I love, I might... No. Not even then.
Edward: Number one is when you said you'd marry me, Mrs. Cullen.
Edward: You're trying to make everyone else happy, but you're always giving away too much.
Bella: This wasn't a choice between you and Jacob. It's between who I should be and who I am. I've always felt out of step, like literally stumbling through my life.I've never felt normal. Because I'm not normal. I don't want to be. I've had to face death and loss and pain in your world, but I've also never felt stronger and more real, more myself. Because it's my world, too. It's where I belong.
Bella: I've made a mess trying to figure this out and I want to do it right. And I wanna tie myself to you in every way humanly possible.
Edward: Starting with a wedding.
Bella: Actually, something a little more difficult first. And maybe even dangerous. We have to tell Charlie.
Edward: It's highly dangerous.
Bella: It's a good thing your bulletproof. I'm gonna need that ring.

Twilight Saga: New Moon
Bella Swan: "These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die. Like fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume."
Bella Swan: Hello biceps. You know, anabolic steroids are really bad for you.
Edward: You can't trust vampires... Trust me.
I hate being celebrated.
There are worst tragedies, I mean, look at Romeo. Killed his true love out of sheer stupidity. Though I do envy him one thing.
Juliet is, like, perfect. If you like that obviously beautiful sort of thing.
Not the girl, the suicide. It's nearly impossible for... For some people. For humans, a little poison, a dagger to the heart. There's so many options.
Edward: "O here will I set up my everlasting rest and shake the yoke of inauspicious stars from this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last. Arms, take your last embrace! And, lips, O you, the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss a dateless bargain to engrossing death!"
Edward: The Volturi are a very old, powerful family. I guess they're the closest thing to royalty my world has.
Bella: Is that Carlisle?
Edward: Yes. He lived with them for a few decades. Defined them as very refined, no respect for human lives but a respect for the arts and the sciences, at least. And the law. Above all, the law.
Bella: Vampires have laws?
Edward: Not very many. And only one that's regularly enforced.
Bella: What is it?
Edward: That we keep the existence of our kind a secret. We don't make spectacles of ourselves and we don't kill conspicuously. Unless, of course, you want to die.
Edward: The only thing that could hurt me, is you. I don't have anything else to be afraid of.
Bella: I could protect you, if you change me.
Edward: Bella, you already do protect me. You're my only reason to stay alive, if that's what i am. But it's my job to protect you. From everyone, except my sister.
Emmett: Dating an older woman, hot.
Carlisle: No, I knew who I wanted to be, I wanted to help people. It brings me happiness, Even if I am damned regardless.
Bella: Damned? Like hell? Carlisle, you couldn't be damned. You couldn't. It's impossible.
Bella: You can't protect me from everything. At some point, something's gonna separate us. It's gonna be an accident or illness, or old age, as long as I'm human. the only solution is to change me.
Edward: That's not a solution. That's a tragedy.
Bella: You're not gonna want me when I look like a grandmother.
Edward: Bella, do you not understand my feelings for you at all?
Bella: Carlisle told me how you feel about your soul. I don't believe it. So don't worry about mine.
Edward: You should go inside.
Bella: It's still my birthday. So can I ask one thing? Kiss me? I love you.
Eward: I love you.
Edward: You just don't belong in my world, Bella.
Bella: I belong with you.
Edward: No. You don't.
Bella: I'm coming.
Edward: Bella, I don't want you to come.
Bella: You don't want me?
Edward: No.
Bella: That changes things a lot.
Edward: But if it's not too much to ask, can you just promise me something. Don't do anything reckless. For Charlie's sake. And I'll promise you something in return. This is the last time you'll ever see me. I won't come back. And you can go on with your life without any interference from me. It will be like I never existed, I promise.
Bella: If this is about my soul, take it. I don't want it without you.
Edward: It's not about your soul. You're just not good for me.
Bella: Not good enough for you.
Edward: I'm just sorry I let this go on for so long.
Bella: Please, don't.
Edward: Goodbye.
Bella: Edward.
Bella: Alice. You've disappeared. Like everything else. Now who else can I talk to? I'm lost. When you left, and he left, you took everything with you. The absence of him is everywhere I look. It's like a huge hole has been punched through my chest. But in a way, I'm glad. The pain is the only reminder that he was real. That you all were.
Jessica: I don't know why you wanted to sit through all those zombies eating people and no hot guys anywhere. It's gross. Like... And why are there that many zombie movies anyway? 'Cause if it's supposed to, like, draw a parallel about leprosy, my cousin had leprosy. It's not funny, you know? And, like, is it supposed to be a metaphor for consumerism? Because don't be so pleased with your own, like, self- referential cleverness, you know?Like, some girls like to shop. Not all girls, apparently. Although I was surprised you even called at all. You know? Like, your depression thing, I get it. I'm totally, totally worried. But after a while, it's like you're still bumming... and I'm going through stuff too. You know? Like Mike deciding he just wants to be friends. You know? Like and since when does "just friends"...
Edward: You promised me nothing reckless.
Bella: You promised it would be as if you never existed. You lied.
Jessica: You're insane, actually. Or suicidal. That homeboy could've been a psycho. I was about to end up in an FBI interview room like some lame TV show.
Bella: That was such a rush.
Jessica: Awesome. So you're an adrenaline junkie now? That's cool. You could go bungee jumping. You don't get on the back of some random loser's motorcycle. Crazy.
Bella: Alice. I saw him. Maybe I'm crazy now, but I guess that's okay. If a rush of danger is what it takes to see him, than that's what I'll find.
Bella: I get it if you think this is stupid and reckless.
Jacob: Yeah, I mean, it's completely stupid and reckless. When do we start?
Bella: Jake, you're, like, buff. How did that happen? You're, like, 16. I don't get it.
Jacob: Mmm-hmm. Age is just a number, baby. What are you, like, 40 now?
Bella: If we're going to do this every day, and hopefully we are. We've got to fit some homework in there. I don't want Billy thinking I'm a bad influence on you.
Jacob: You? Influence me? Please.
Bella: Are you... I'm older than you, so that makes me the influencer and you the influencee.
Jacob: No, no, no. My size and knowledge base actually makes me older than you, because of your general paleness and lack of know-how.
Bella: I convinced you to build two-wheeled death machines with me. Don't you think that makes you kind of young and naive?
Jacob: Okay, so where do we stand?
Bella: I'm 35. You might be like 32.
Jacob: Come on.
Bella: Dear Alice, I wish I had your real address. I wish I could tell you about Jake. He makes me feel better. I mean, he makes me feel alive. The hole in my chest, well, when I'm with Jake, it's like it's almost healed, for a while.
Bella: Oh... Well... I'm not really into the whole cougar thing.
Bella: But not even Jake can keep the dream away.
Charlie Swan: Can I ask you something? Hanging out with Jake seems to take your mind off things for a bit, doesn't it? You know, sometimes, you gotta learn to love what's good for you. You know what I mean? Of course, what do I know? I'm just a terminal bachelor. Famous ladies' man.
Jacob: Embry used to call them hall monitors on steroids.
Jacob: What, you're apologizing for bleeding?
Bella: You're sort of beautiful.
Jacob: Look, I know what he did to you. But, Bella, I would never ever do that. I wont ever hurt you. I promise. I wont let you down. You can count on me.
Harry Clearwater: Those bears won't get the drop on me, Bella. My Kung Fu is strong.
Bella: You cut your hair off? And got a tattoo? I thought you were too sick to come outside or pick up the phone when I called.
Jacob: Go away.
Bella: What?
Jacob: Go away.
Bella: What happened to you? What's wrong? Hey. What happened? Did Sam get to you? Is that what's happening?
Jacob: Sam's trying to help me. Don't blame him. But if you want somebody to blame, how about those filthy bloodsuckers you love, the Cullens?
i don't know what your talking about.
you know exactly what I'm talking about. you've been lying to everyone. charlie. but you can't lie to me. not anymore Bella.look, Bella, we can't be friends anymore.
look, Jake, i know that I've been hurting you. its killing me. it kills me. i just need... give me some time or something.
look, don't. its not you.
its not you, its me, right? really?
its true. it is me. I'm not good. i used to be a good kid. not anymore. this doesn't even matter. this is over
you cant break up with me. i mean, i mean, your my best friend. you promised me.
i know. i promised i would never hurt you Bella. and this is me keeping that promise. go home and don't come back or your gonna get hurt.
Bella: Alice... Things are bad again. Without Jake... I can't stand it. I don't see Edward anymore. Will it really feel like he never existed? I will find a place where I can see him again.
Laurent: How much could you mean to him if he left you here, unprotected. Victoria won't be happy about my killing you. But I can't help myself, you are so... mouth-watering.
Jacob: Have you ever had a secret you couldn't tell anyone, one that wasn't yours to share? Well, that's what it's like for me. But worse. You have no idea how tight I'm bound.
Embry: Guess, the wolf's out of the bag.
Bella: Alice, is it possible that everything's true? The fairy tales and horror stories? Is it possible that there isn't anything sane and normal at all?
Emily: So, you're the vampire girl.
Bella: So, you're the wolf girl.
Embry: That's a wolf thing. Alpha's orders get obeyed whether we say anything or not. And check it out. We can hear each other's thoughts.
Jared: Would you shut up? These are trade secrets. Damn it! This chick runs with vampires.
Bella: You can't really run with vampires. 'Cause they're fast.
Jared: Yeah, we're faster. Freaked out yet?
Bella: You're not the first monsters I've met.
Sam: Jake's right, you're good with weird.
Jacob: We're not killing anyone.
Bella: Then who is?
Jacob: What we are trying to protect you from. The only thing we do kill, vampires.
Bella: Alice, I'm alright. Until I'm alone. And lately, that's all the time. Jacob's gone, he's hunting Victoria. And Charlie's hunting Jacob. And you're gone. And so is Edward. And there's just nothing now. But I realize where I have to go, what I have to do to see him again.
Bella: You wanted me to be human. Watch me. You won't stay with me any other way.
Bella: It must be nice never getting cold.
Jacob: It's a wolf thing.
Bella: It's not. It's a Jacob thing. You're just warm. You're like your own sun.
Bella: Okay, not that you need me to tell you something like this, but I always will. You're not gonna lose yourself. I wouldn't let that happen.
Jacob: How?
Bella: I'll tell you all the time how special you are.
Jacob: You're about to cross a line.
Bella: Then don't draw it. Please.
Alice: I have never met anyone more prone to life-threatening idiocy.
Alice: Bella, what is that God awful wet dog smell?
Bella: That's probably me. It's Jacob.
Alice: Jacob who?
Bella: Jacob's kind of a werewolf.
Alice: Ugh! Bella! Werewolves are not good company to keep!
Alice: I can't see past you and your pack of mutts.
Jacob: Do not get me upset. Things are gonna get very ugly!
Alice Cullen: I didn't think you would be opposed to grand theft auto.
Bella: I needed to make you see me once.You had to know I was alive and that you didn't have to feel guilty about anything. I can let you go now.
Edward: I never acted out of guilt. I just couldn't live in a world where you didn't exist.
Bella: But you said...
Edward: I lied. I had to lie. But you believed me so easily.
Bella: Because it doesn't make sense for you to love me. I mean, I'm nothing. I'm human. I'm nothing.
Edward: Bella, you're everything to me. You're everything.
Aro: How extraordinary! You would give up your life for someone like us. A vampire. A soulless monster.
Bella: You don't know a thing about his soul.
Edward: Bella, the only reason why I left is because I thought I was protecting you. I needed you to have a chance at a normal, happy life.
Edward: Leaving you was the hardest thing I've done in 100 years. And I swear, I will never fail you again. I'm so sorry. Charlie's coming.
Edward: I'm not technically breaking any of his rules. He did say I couldn't take a step through his door. I came in through the window. He's not going to forgive me easily.
Bella: I know.
Edward: Can you? I hope you can, because, I honestly don't know how to live without you.
Bella: Once Alice changes me, you can't get rid of me.
Edward: She won't need to change you. There are always ways to keep the Volturi in the dark.
Jasper: I vote "yes". It would be nice to not want to kill you all the time.
Rosalie: I'm sorry. I'm really sorry to both of you for how I've acted. And I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go save my brother. But this isn't a life I would have chosen for myself. And I wish that there had been someone to vote "no" for me. So, no.
Carlisle: You've chosen not to live without her, which leaves me no choice. I won't lose my son.
Jacob: If any of them bites a human, the truce is over.
Bella: Jake, I love you. So please, don't make me choose, 'cause it'll be him. It's always been him.
Bella: Stop! Stop! You can't hurt each other without hurting me.
Edward: I just have one condition, if you want me to do it myself.
Bella: What's the condition?
Edward: And then forever.
Bella: That's what I'm asking.
Edward: Marry me, Bella.
Bella Swan: Hello biceps. You know, anabolic steroids are really bad for you.
Edward: You can't trust vampires... Trust me.
I hate being celebrated.

Bella: What happened to you? What's wrong? Hey. What happened? Did Sam get to you? Is that what's happening?
Jacob: Sam's trying to help me. Don't blame him. But if you want somebody to blame, how about those filthy bloodsuckers you love, the Cullens?
i don't know what your talking about.
you know exactly what I'm talking about. you've been lying to everyone. charlie. but you can't lie to me. not anymore Bella.look, Bella, we can't be friends anymore.
look, Jake, i know that I've been hurting you. its killing me. it kills me. i just need... give me some time or something.
look, don't. its not you.
its not you, its me, right? really?
its true. it is me. I'm not good. i used to be a good kid. not anymore. this doesn't even matter. this is over
you cant break up with me. i mean, i mean, your my best friend. you promised me.
i know. i promised i would never hurt you Bella. and this is me keeping that promise. go home and don't come back or your gonna get hurt.
Bella: Alice... Things are bad again. Without Jake... I can't stand it. I don't see Edward anymore. Will it really feel like he never existed? I will find a place where I can see him again.
Laurent: How much could you mean to him if he left you here, unprotected. Victoria won't be happy about my killing you. But I can't help myself, you are so... mouth-watering.
Jacob: Have you ever had a secret you couldn't tell anyone, one that wasn't yours to share? Well, that's what it's like for me. But worse. You have no idea how tight I'm bound.
Embry: Guess, the wolf's out of the bag.
Bella: Alice, is it possible that everything's true? The fairy tales and horror stories? Is it possible that there isn't anything sane and normal at all?
Emily: So, you're the vampire girl.
Bella: So, you're the wolf girl.
Embry: That's a wolf thing. Alpha's orders get obeyed whether we say anything or not. And check it out. We can hear each other's thoughts.
Jared: Would you shut up? These are trade secrets. Damn it! This chick runs with vampires.
Bella: You can't really run with vampires. 'Cause they're fast.
Jared: Yeah, we're faster. Freaked out yet?
Bella: You're not the first monsters I've met.
Sam: Jake's right, you're good with weird.
Jacob: We're not killing anyone.
Bella: Then who is?
Jacob: What we are trying to protect you from. The only thing we do kill, vampires.
Bella: Alice, I'm alright. Until I'm alone. And lately, that's all the time. Jacob's gone, he's hunting Victoria. And Charlie's hunting Jacob. And you're gone. And so is Edward. And there's just nothing now. But I realize where I have to go, what I have to do to see him again.
Bella: You wanted me to be human. Watch me. You won't stay with me any other way.
Bella: It must be nice never getting cold.
Jacob: It's a wolf thing.
Bella: It's not. It's a Jacob thing. You're just warm. You're like your own sun.
Bella: Okay, not that you need me to tell you something like this, but I always will. You're not gonna lose yourself. I wouldn't let that happen.
Jacob: How?
Bella: I'll tell you all the time how special you are.
Jacob: You're about to cross a line.
Bella: Then don't draw it. Please.
Alice: I have never met anyone more prone to life-threatening idiocy.
Alice: Bella, what is that God awful wet dog smell?
Bella: That's probably me. It's Jacob.
Alice: Jacob who?
Bella: Jacob's kind of a werewolf.
Alice: Ugh! Bella! Werewolves are not good company to keep!
Alice: I can't see past you and your pack of mutts.
Jacob: Do not get me upset. Things are gonna get very ugly!
Alice Cullen: I didn't think you would be opposed to grand theft auto.
Bella: I needed to make you see me once.You had to know I was alive and that you didn't have to feel guilty about anything. I can let you go now.
Edward: I never acted out of guilt. I just couldn't live in a world where you didn't exist.
Bella: But you said...
Edward: I lied. I had to lie. But you believed me so easily.
Bella: Because it doesn't make sense for you to love me. I mean, I'm nothing. I'm human. I'm nothing.
Edward: Bella, you're everything to me. You're everything.
Aro: How extraordinary! You would give up your life for someone like us. A vampire. A soulless monster.
Bella: You don't know a thing about his soul.
Edward: Bella, the only reason why I left is because I thought I was protecting you. I needed you to have a chance at a normal, happy life.
Edward: Leaving you was the hardest thing I've done in 100 years. And I swear, I will never fail you again. I'm so sorry. Charlie's coming.
Edward: I'm not technically breaking any of his rules. He did say I couldn't take a step through his door. I came in through the window. He's not going to forgive me easily.
Bella: I know.
Edward: Can you? I hope you can, because, I honestly don't know how to live without you.
Bella: Once Alice changes me, you can't get rid of me.
Edward: She won't need to change you. There are always ways to keep the Volturi in the dark.
Jasper: I vote "yes". It would be nice to not want to kill you all the time.
Rosalie: I'm sorry. I'm really sorry to both of you for how I've acted. And I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go save my brother. But this isn't a life I would have chosen for myself. And I wish that there had been someone to vote "no" for me. So, no.
Carlisle: You've chosen not to live without her, which leaves me no choice. I won't lose my son.
Jacob: If any of them bites a human, the truce is over.
Bella: Jake, I love you. So please, don't make me choose, 'cause it'll be him. It's always been him.
Bella: Stop! Stop! You can't hurt each other without hurting me.
Edward: I just have one condition, if you want me to do it myself.
Bella: What's the condition?
Edward: And then forever.
Bella: That's what I'm asking.
Edward: Marry me, Bella.
Dear John
Savannah Curtis: Randy, you shouldn’t make fun of a guy that can kill you with his bare hands. – Savannah
John Tyree: Our story has 3 parts a beginning, a middle and an end and although this is the way all stories unfold I still cant believe ours didn't go on forever.
Savannah:
Dear John,
Two weeks together, that's all it took. Two weeks for me to fall in love with you. Now we have one year apart. But what's one year apart after two weeks like that together. You made me a promise, a promise I know you'll keep. So I only want one more promise from you during this time we spend apart. Tell me everything, write it all down, John. Scribble it in a notebook, type it out, email it to me. That way, before we know it, I'll see you soon then.
Savannah Curtis: The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all.
John Tyree: It doesn't matter where you are in the world, it's never bigger than your thumb.
John Tyree: It's a full moon tonight that makes me think of you, half a world away.
Savannah: We'll be with each other all the time, even if we're not together at all.
John: I miss you so much it hurts.
Rock ‘em and sock ‘em. – Randy
Did you ever notice how big the moon is as it’s rising, and how little it is in the sky? – Savannah
For the record, if you do anything to hurt Savannah, I’m gonna have to break something, something in your leg, one of the bones in there. It’s just that I know her father and he would expect me to say something like that, it just sounded better coming from him. – Tim
There’s a never-ending stream of curse words in my mind. – Savannah
The way people act around you, like the way they treated you at that restaurant, its like they’re scared of you. – Savannah
They’re not scared of me. Maybe afraid of who I used to be. – John
Dear savannah,
I promise. I promise I’ll see you soon, then. I promise I’ll write all the time. I promise I’ll tell you everything. Be patient with me it may take a while for these letters to get back to you. We’ve already been deployed on a mission. The problem is, we can’t exactly use the local postal service and there’s no such thing as an Internet connection. So I have to send everything out by air. Unfortunately I can’t tell you where here is, all I can tell you is that the place where we’ve been sent makes me miss America very much, and the lack of anything resembling an ocean makes me miss Charleston. And everything around me makes me miss you. We move around a lot so letters tend to come late and out of order, so we may want to number our letters so we get them in the right order. But when they do get here, it’s a good day. Whenever they don’t, it’s not. But I know they will still come. I know it.
Letter #8
Dear John,
I’m back at my parents’ house for the weekend. I have some houseguests you may know. I took Allen out riding with me today; it was his first time on a horse. You’ve heard of horse sense, how some horses are able to sense danger, sense that evil. Well, I think autistic kids have that too, so, I have this idea, this dream. I want to open up a summer camp for autistic kids, a place where they can ride horses as much as they want. For once in their life where they won’t have to worry about a thing. What do you think? Pipe dream, huh?
No, it’s not a pipe dream. It’s a perfect dream. - John
Letter #33
Dear Savannah,
The good news is we’ve been sent somewhere new. Although I can’t tell you where that is either. The bad news is, this place actually makes me miss the old place. But it’s a full moon tonight, which makes me think of you, because I know no matter what I’m doing or where I am, this moon will always be the same size as yours, half a world away.
Dear John,
Most nights I fall asleep worrying about you, wondering where you may be out there. Not tonight. Tonight you’re here with me. I visited your dad yesterday. Summer’s almost over and I wanted to see him before I went back to school. I hope that’s okay. He made me dinner, it was Sunday so we had lasagna and I got him talking about his coins. So we had plenty of conversation. So I’ll ask you instead John, wherever you may be. What’s the story?
Dear Savannah,
Only because I promise to tell you everything. When I was seven years old, I bought an ice cream cone. On my way home, I noticed that one of the pennies wasn’t actually a penny. Remember the horse sense you were talking about? Well my dad has it too. At first I loved chasing after those mules with my father. We finally had something to talk about. You know, something we could do together. But he became obsessed with them, and you know how he is. And then I became a teenager, and you know how I am. Eventually he stopped talking about coins with me altogether and when that happened we found out that there wasn’t that much to talk about together. So that’s the story. I miss you so much.
I bench press refrigerators. – Savannah’s dad
Well, I guess, the worse thing you could say about your father is that he tried to protect you too much. That’s a pretty good father, isn’t it? – Tim
None of the soldiers I know need to be asked, sir. And we sure as hell don’t need to be told. – John
Dear John,
I know it’s been way too long since I last wrote you. I’ve been staring at this blank page for the last two hours. Well, to be honest, I’ve been staring at it for the last two months. Please forgive me for what I’m about to say and know that this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. My life without you has no meaning and I cannot live without it.
Oh, Jesus, I never loved a piece of clothing more in my entire life. - Soldier
Dear Dad,
There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you. Remember a few years back, when I got shot, you know, the very first thing that entered my mind at that moment, right before I blacked out. Coins. Suddenly I was 8 years old again, was on that tour of the U.S. mint and I was listening to the guy explain how coins were made, how they punch that sheet metal, how they are rimmed, and beveled, how they are stamped and cleaned. And how each batch of coins is personally examined just in case any of them slipped thru with the slightest infraction. You remember that Dad, that trip to Philadelphia we took. Well that’s what popped into my head. I am a coin, of the United States Army. I was minted the year 1980. I was punched thru sheet metal; I’ve been stamped and cleaned. My edges have been rimmed and beveled. But now I have two small holes in me. So I’m no longer in perfect condition. How about it? We’re just a couple of coins, you know. There’s one more thing that I want to tell you too. After I got shot, right before I blacked out, you want to know the very last thing I thought of, was you.
Just hearing your voice, I would have changed my mind. – Savannah
Dear John,
It’s been almost five years since I’ve wrote an actual letter with an actual pen on an actual sheet of paper, but I thought I could write you now and tell you all that’s happened since I saw you last. A few weeks after you showed up here, Tim received an anonymous donation. A donation that was enough to give him what the insurance company wouldn’t. Time. Time to finally come home. Time to spend with his son. Time to say goodbye. The problem with time I’ve learned, whether it was those first two weeks I got to spend with you, or those final two months I got to spend with him, eventually time always runs out. I have no idea where you are out there in the world, John, but I understand that I lost the right to know these things a long time ago. No matter how many years go by, I know one thing to be as true as it ever was. I’ll see you soon then.
