Bella : Hey, sorry I'm late. Biology project.
Bella’s father : I ordered you the spinach salad.
I hope that's okay.
Bella : You should order one for yourself next time.
Cut
back on the steak.
Bella’s father : Hey, I'm as
healthy as a horse.
Cora : Say, Chief,
boys want to know, did you find anything down by Queets River today?
Bella’s father : Yeah, we found a bare human footprint, but it looks like whoever
that is, is headed east, so Kitsap County sheriff is gonna take
over from here. Okay?
Cora : I just hope they catch him fast.
Bella’s father : Looks like your friends are flagging you.
It's okay if you wanna go join them. I'm just gonnaturn
in early anyway.
Bella : Me, too.
Bella’s father : Bella, it's Friday night. Go out. Looks like the Newton boy's got
a big smile for you.
Bella : Yeah, he's a good buddy.
Bella’s father : What about any of these other yahoos in
town? Anybody interest you?
Bella : Dad, we gonna talk about boys?
Bella’s father : Yeah, I guess not. I just feel like I leave you alone too much.
You should be around people.
Bella : I don't really mind being alone. I guess I'm kind of like my dad in that
way.

Bella : So, how's all the baseball stuff going?
Bella’s mother : Phil's working so hard. You know, spring training. We're looking
for a house to rent in case things become more permanent. You'd like
Jacksonville, baby.
Bella : Yeah? I'm really liking Forks.
Bella’s mother : What?
Bella : Forks is growing
on me.
Bella’s mother : Could a guy have anything to do with that?
Bella : Well, yeah.
Bella’s mother : I knew it. Tell me everything. What is he? Jock? Indie?
I bet he's smart. Is he smart?
Bella : Mom, can I talk to you later?
Bella’s mother : Come on, we gotta talk boys. Are you being safe?
Bella : How did you get in here?
Edward : The window.
Bella : Do you do that a lot?
Edward : Well, just the past couple of months. I like watching you sleep. It's
kind of fascinating to me. I always want to try one thing. Just stay very still.
Don't move.
