[Bella] 

Wow, this is incredible. So light and open you know.


[Edward] 

What did you expect coffins and dungeons and moats?


[Bella] 

No, not the moats.


[Edward] 

Not the moats... This is the one place we don't have to hide. I told them not to do this.


[recipe spoken on tv]


[Rosalie] 

Is she even Italian?


[Emmett] 

Her name is Bella.


[Esme] 

I'm sure she'll love it no matter what.


[Rosalie] 

Get a whiff of that. Here comes the human.


[Esme]

We're making Italiano for you.


[Edward] 

Bella this is uh, Esme, my mother for all intents and purposes.


[Bella]

[says 'hello' in Italian]


[Esme] 

[says 'very good' in Italian]


[Carlisle] 

Given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time.


[Esme] 

I hope you're hungry.


[Bella] 

Yeah absolutely.


[Edward] 

She already ate.


[Rosalie] 

Perfect.


[Bella] 

Yeah it's just because I know you—I know that you guys don't eat so—


[Esme] 

Of course, it's very considerate of you.


[Edward] 

Just ignore Rosalie. I do.


[Rosalie] 

Yeah, let's just keep pretending like this isn't dangerous for all of us.


[Bella] 

I would never tell anybody anything.


[Carlisle] 

She knows that.


[Emmett] 

Yeah, well the problem is you two have gone public now so—


[Esme] 

Emmett.


[Rosalie] 

No, she should know. The entire family will be implicated if this ends badly.


[Bella] 

Badly as in... I-I would become the meal.


[Alice] 

Hi Bella. I'm Alice.


[Bella] 

Hi.


[Alice] 

Oh, you do smell good.


[Edward] 

Alice, what are you—


[Alice] 

It's okay, Bella and I are gonna be great friends.


[Carlisle] 

Sorry. Jasper's our newest vegetarian. It's a little difficult for him.


[Jasper] 

It's a pleasure to meet you.


[Alice] 

It's okay Jasper, you won't hurt her.


[Edward] 

All right uh... I'm going to take you on a tour of the rest of the house.


[Alice] 

Okay, well I'll see you soon.


[Bella] 

Okay.


[Esme] 

Cute!


[Carlisle] 

I think that went well.


[Esme] 

Clean this up. Now.


[Edward] 

Was that as weird for you as it was for me?


[Bella] 

Uh I don't know... graduation caps?


[Edward] 

Uh yeah, it's a private joke. We matriculate a lot.


[Bella] 

That's kind of miserable. I mean, repeating high school over and over.


[Edward] 

True, but the younger we start out in a new place, the longer we can stay there. C'mon.


[Edward] 

Uh... yeah this is my room.


[Bella] 

No bed?


[Edward] 

Uh no, I-I don't—I don't sleep.


[Bella] 

Ever?


[Edward] 

No, not at all.


[Bella] 

Okay... Wow, you have so much music. What're you listening to?


[Edward] 

It's uh—Debussy. I don't know...


[Bella] 

Yeah.
