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.

Nothing turns a girl on like accidental homicide!

WOW! Do tweens these days REALLY wanna feel so totally helpless? I mean, can you imagine those words coming from Tony Manero's mouth?

"Yo! I could break yo ass, so don't get in my fuckin' face. Now, let's dance."

I imagine this cuddled in the bleachers during the Thanksgiving HS football game, between large gulps of peppermint schnapps.

The scary thing is, it's not just tweens but grown-ass mothers of teenaged girls.

Yes! It's like reading (and enjoying) The Little Handbook of Bulimia in front of your teenaged daughter.

That goes without saying! Have you ever seen how many adults women are screaming at Jonas concerts? LOL!

I just had such a hilarious image of Saturday Night Fever as a vampire flick....blood on the dancefloor. BTW--I ADORE your icon!

Saturday Night Fever as a vampire flick....blood on the dancefloor

That should so happen!

Seriously, these are the words of an insane serial killer in movies everywhere! I don't even... I bet there's some sort of justification, such as "Yes, he could kill her, but he controls himself, because he wuvs her, that's what so special about it!"

I kinda think the peppermint schnapps would make the whole experience better. (RPatz certainly looks like he could do with some.)

ROFLMAO! I can't fault ANYONE for falling into it. I really can't even though it makes me laugh like a hyena (at my advanced age! *snort*)----I was a RAVENING Dark Shadows fan when I was 13.

There. It's out. My deep, dark secret. I was a Quentin 'ho! So I guess I'd probably be on Team Jacob. ROFLMAO!

Every gen has its 'horrerotica'. I'm just really glad to see that the genre survived Anne Rice! *wink*

Peppermint schnapps in sufficient quantities would make nearly ANY experience of said dialogue pretty interesting! *giggles madly*

I've nothing against fangirling dark psycho-pervert characters at all; god knows I've watched Once Upon a Time in Mexico multiple times only because of my deep love for Agent Sands (the best character Johnny Depp's ever played). And I feel a deep and disturbing love for Mr. American Psycho himself, the deliciously disturbed Patrick Bateman. But they should not be sold as perfect boyfriend material, they really shouldn't.

I bet Robert Pattinson dreamed of peppermint schnapps, or any kind of schnapps, really, many, many times during the read-throughs (he was properly intoxicated by the time they started shooting, I daresay).
