Isabella Swan: Everyone's staring.
Edward Cullen: No, not that guy. Oh wait, he looked.
Isabella Swan: Graduation caps?
Edward Cullen: Private joke. We matriculate a lot.
Edward Cullen: I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore.
Isabella Swan: Then don't.
Isabella Swan: How did you get in here?
Edward Cullen: The window.
Isabella Swan: Do you do that a lot?
Edward Cullen: Just the past couple of months.
Edward Cullen: I leave you alone for two minutes and the wolves descend.
Isabella Swan: Are you going to tell me how you stopped the van?
Edward Cullen: Yeah. Um... I had an adrenaline rush. It's very common. You can Google it.
Isabella Swan: I can't bring myself to regret the decisions that brought me to Forks. They also brought me to Edward.
Edward Cullen: And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Isabella Swan: What a stupid lamb.
Edward Cullen: What a sick, masochistic lion.
James: You're alone... Because you're faster than the others. But not stronger...
Edward Cullen: I'm strong enough to kill you.
Isabella Swan: You've got to give me some answers.
Edward Cullen: I'd rather hear your theories.
Isabella Swan: I have considered radioactive spiders and kryptonite.
Edward Cullen: That's all superhero stuff, right? What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm... The bad guy?
Bella: I know what you are. You're impossibly fast. And strong. Your skin is pale white and, ice cold.
Emmett Cullen: She thinks we cheat.
Esme Cullen: I know you cheat.
Edward Cullen: What did you expect? Coffins and dungeons and moats?
Isabella Swan: No, not the moats.
Isabella Swan: How old are you?
Edward Cullen: Seventeen.
Isabella Swan: How long have you been seventeen?
Edward Cullen: ...a while.
Rosalie: Is she even Italian?
Emmett: Her name is Bella.
Billy Black: See, I told you she'd love it. I'm down with the kids.
Charlie Swan: Oh, yeah, dude. You're the bomb.
Edward Cullen: I hate you for making me want you so much.
James: Beautiful. Very visually dynamic. I chose my stage well.
Answer: Edward is able to read anyone's mind "except" for Bella's. He cannot understand why and that confuses and frustrates him. It is learned later that Bella has an unknown ability to block any mental intrusion. That is why Aro could not see Bella's memories and why Jane was unable to mentally inflict pain on her in "Twilight: New Moon."
