Bella: I thought we agreed… No presents.

Charlie: Well… the one from me isn’t wrapped so it don’t count.

Bella: (looking at the camera) It’s actually great. Thanks Dad.

Charlie: Uh, it goes with this one, from your Mom. We coordinated… Well, she coordinated me.

Jessica: Today’s a big day Bella… (Bella looks at her, upset) R & J essay due.

Bella: Oh yeah.

Mike: Wherefore art thou, Bella?

-oOo-

Edward: Happy birthday.

Bella: Don’t remind me.

Edward: Well your birthday is definitely something to celebrate.

Bella: My aging is not.

Edward: (amused) Your aging… I think eighteen is a little too young to start worrying about that.

Bella: It’s one year older than you.

Edward: No it isn’t. I’m a hundred and nine.

Bella: Well… Maybe I shouldn’t be dating such an old man. It’s gross. I should be thoroughly repulsed.

-oOo-

Jacob: Bella.

Bella: Jacob!

Edward: I’ll leave you to talk.

Bella: Hello biceps. You know, anabolic steroids are really bad for you.

Jacob: Oh, I’m just filling out Bella. You know, it wouldn’t seem so drastic if we hang out more.

Bella: You should switch schools. Come hang out with the pale faces.

Jacob: I’m alright. I prefer the rez school’s exclusivity. They let any old riffraff into this place. (looks pointedly at Edward)
