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.

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).
