New Moon – The Deleted Scene

The following was a scene deleted from the crappy new Twilight film New Moon

EXT – CINEMA – NIGHT
The scene is a relatively busy street on a Friday night with young people and couples leaving and entering a cinema playing New Moon. The camera slowly focuses in on a beaten up red ute containing SAM, BELLA and JACOB. BELLA is dressed all in black and looking distractedly into space. JACOB is dressed in shorts and a check short sleeve shirt and stares longingly at BELLA. JACOB is also in shorts and a check shirt but looks aggressive and pensive. Tight zoom to frame only BELLA and JACOB.

BELLA: I just (Pause) don’t know if I can go through with this…
JACOB: What? (Turning earnestly to BELLA) Is there…
BELLA: Since he’s gone… my heart feels like it’s been ripped out and…
JACOB: Bella (Grabbing her hand) I will wait as long as…
BELLA: I just don’t know (Sobbing) if I can (Pause) go to the movies tonight.
JACOB: You need to make up your mind to go to the movies (Aside) Damn you Edward, damn you and your blood sucking family.
CUT to SAM (angrily): Can we just get out of the bloody car!

BELLA, JACOB and SAM exit the car just as it starts to pour down with rain. As they walk over to the cinema, JACOB and SAM suddenly rip of their shirts to reveal ripped bodies and six packs. BELLA does a double take at the pair and shrug her shoulders before continuing on.

INT – CINEMA – NIGHT
BELLA, JACOB and SAM stand in a crowded ticket line as My Chemical Romance plays over the stereo and people move to and from cinemas and the candy bar.

BELLA: I just (Pause) don’t know what…
JACOB: What? (Turning earnestly to BELLA) Is there…
BELLA: Since he left… my life has been so empty and…
JACOB: Bella (Grabbing her hand) I will wait as long as…
BELLA: I just don’t know (Sobbing) what (Pause) movie we are going to see.
JACOB: You need to make up your mind about which film to see tonight (Aside) Damn you Edward, damn you and your blood sucking family.
CUT to SAM (angrily): Can we just decide on the bloody movie!
JACOB: So Bella, do you want to see that new action film Rocky?
BELLA: I was thinking more of that other one New Moon.

EDWARD shimmers next to BELLA in the line.

EDWARD: What are you doing?
BELLA is visibly shaken: I just…
EDWARD: I thought you wouldn’t take any unnecessary risks.
BELLA: But since you’ve been gone…
EDWARD: Why are you risking it all?
BELLA: It’s just a film…

EDWARD shimmers into nothing leaving BELLA shaken and crying.

JACOB: Bella, Bella, tell me what’s wrong.
BELLA: Nothing, I just though I saw Ed-
JACOB aside: Damn you Edward, damn you and your blood sucking family.
SAM (thoughtfully): How about we see the documentary on the life of migratory sea birds of the Artic?
JACOB exploding in anger: How dare you!

JACOB turns into a wolf and lunges at SAM who also turns into a wolf. They battle across the cinema foyer destroying movie posters, chairs and the candy bar. BELLA looks on but just shrugs her shoulders and continues to wait in line. The fight ends and JACOB and SAM rejoin the queue, walking past the trashed cinema props.

SAM: So its New Moon then brother.
JACOB: It seems so. Maybe we can see the documentary on the life of migratory sea birds of the Arctic at another time.
BELLA: It’s just that…
JACOB: What? (Turning earnestly to BELLA) Is there…
BELLA: Since he’s gone… I can’t get him out of my head and…
JACOB: Bella (Grabbing her hand) I will wait as long as…
BELLA: I just don’t know (Sobbing) if I (Pause) brought my wallet from the ute.
JACOB: You need to bring your wallet back from the ute (Aside) Damn you Edward, damn you and your blood sucking family.
CUT to SAM (angrily): Can we just buy the bloody tickets!

INT – CINEMA – NIGHT
BELLA, JACOB and SAM sit in a crowded cinema as the film is playing. Indistinct dialogue can be heard as the audience is seen violently throwing popcorn and drinks at the screen while booing.

BELLA: I just (Pause) don’t know what…
JACOB: What? (Turning earnestly to BELLA) Is there…
BELLA: Since he left… the films have seemed so meaningless and…
JACOB: Bella (Grabbing her hand) I will wait as long as…
BELLA: I just don’t know (Sobbing) why (Pause) we keep watching this crap film.

EDWARD shimmers next to BELLA in the line.

EDWARD: I told you not to see the film.
BELLA is visibly shaken: I just…
EDWARD: I warned you that it was crap.
BELLA: But since you’ve left…
EDWARD: Why don’t you pay attention to my movie reviews on Twitter?
BELLA: I just thought that…

EDWARD shimmers into nothing leaving BELLA shaken and crying.

JACOB: You need to decide whether to stay until the end of the film (Aside) Damn you Edward, damn you and your blood sucking family.
CUT to SAM (angrily): Can you both just shut up while I watch the movie!
BELLA: I’m leaving, New Moon sucks and I want my money back.
JACOB: Bella, I have to tell you something…
BELLA waits breathlessly eying his six-pack while keeping half an eye on the film.
JACOB: It’s about Edward…
BELLA: What! Have you heard –?
JACOB: He can’t love you like I can Bella.
BELLA: But since he’s…
JACOB exploding into anger: All you ever talk about is since he’s been gone. For goodness sakes get over it woman and move on with your life.
BELLA: But Jacob-
JACOB: Do you think I rip my shirt off and do all these stomach crunches for laughs Bella. My God you are so selfish!
BELLA shrinks back into her seat: It’s not that I-
JACOB: Don’t love me! Oh I know all about that sister. Well you know what you can do with your love…
BELLA: Please Jacob don’t be mad. It’s always been about Edward, you have to know that.
JACOB: Brother, that’s the final straw. Let’s get some dinner.

JACOB and SAM turn into wolves and devour BELLA as the audience continues to vent its anger at the movie on the screen.
