Verbatim

"I could kill you quite easily, Bella, simply by accident." His voice had become just a soft murmur. He moved his icy palm to rest it against my cheek. "If I was too hasty...if for one second I wasn't paying enough attention, I could reach out, meaning to touch your face, and crush your skull by mistake. You don't realize how incredibly breakable you are. I can never, never afford to lose any kind of control when I'm with you."

If you read those words, what kind of film scene do you imagine to go with them?

a) A romantic moment between two teenagers in love, or

b) A crazy-eyed guy approaching a cowering girl in a dark basement?

I mean, seriously.

I know!

I've half a mind to skim-read the PDFs I downloaded ages ago so that I can back up my occasional* anti-Twilight arguments with quotes, but so far I've found that the Internet supplies me with the necessary quotations quite sufficiently.

*they're not quite as big in Germany, but I know a few people who liked them and a few more who think of "giving them a chance"
