[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 sends 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 going to 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.
