Twilight: How We Saw It
Scene 1. Stephanie Meyer sitting alone, onstage at her desk, writing
Stephanie: Two species both alike in dignity
In fair Forks, Washington where we set our scene
From ancient neck break in order to feed
Where drinking blood makes immortal hands unclean.
Lights down. Lights up on Bella, standing alone onstage
Bella: Ugh, I’m super pale and really pretty but I never accept compliments, even
Though I’m really insecure. Oh, look, a bunch of equally as pale and
Mysterious looking people. The one who looks like he wants to eat me is
Kinda hot.
Edward, Alice, and Carlisle appear onstage
Edward: Bella, we can only be friends. My urge to rip your throat out is too strong
For us to be a couple. You also can never be seen with me in public, or
Around my family. You know how it is; you bring home a human and all
They do is judge and judge and judge.
Bella: But, but, but, I love you! You’re so mysterious, and I know absolutely
Nothing about you, but that doesn’t really bother me!
Alice: Aw, I like her, Edward. Can’t we keep her? Please------(continue until
Edward finally cuts her off.)
Edward: Alright! She can stay, so long as she doesn’t do anything stupid, like
Attract the attention of a psychotic vampire tracker.
Jacob enters
Jacob: Bella, no! They can’t be trusted! I can’t tell you why they can’t be trusted or
How I know, but you’ve got to trust me.
Bella: Jake, nobody cares. Go brush your hair or something.
James enters
James: Argh, I’m a psychotic vampire tracker, and I’m going to eat you! (Tries to
attack Bella, is literally pushed away by Edward.)
Edward: No! Bella, will you go to prom with me?
Bella: Who are you again?
All exit
Scene 2. Stephanie sitting at a desk again
Stephanie: And that’s book one! Hmm, what can I do to actually spice things up a
Bit? Oh, I know! Add a bunch of teenage werewolves that walk around
Shirtless!
Lights down. Lights up, Bella and Edward alone in the forest
Edward: Babe, it’s been great and all, but I’m leaving and never coming back.
Bella: But, but, but, I love you! (Starts to cry.)
Edward: (Panicking) I’m outta here! (exits.)
Bella collapses in a heap on the floor, crying. Jacob enters, and sees Bella
Jacob: Oh, crap! (Runs off)
Consuela enters
Consuela: No, no, you must move. I clean here. Starts to clean around Bella
Jacob reenters
Jacob: Oh, um, hey Bells. I was totally just about to come back and get you….
Bella: Jake, my immortal boyfriend just left me and I’m feeling kind of suicidal. I
Can only see him when I’m about to get hurt, so even though I said I
Wouldn’t, I’m going to put myself in as much danger as humanly possible.
But at least I have you.
Jacob: Actually, I’m going to break all former promises made to you and ditch
You. It’s not me, it’s totally you. (Exits.)
Bella: I know! I throw myself off a cliff!
Alice enters
Alice: You’re an idiot, Bella! You know what, you should’ve drowned! Anyone
That stupid has it coming to them.
Edward enters, and starts to reveal himself in the sunlight.)
Bella: No! (Throws herself at him, but falls short) Ow.
Edward: You’re useless.
Scene 3. Stephanie sitting at her desk
Stephanie: Another romantic ending: the useless heroine does absolutely nothing
Of consequence, and he still takes her back!
Lights down. Lights up on Victoria
Victoria: (On phone, texting) I hate you. My army is coming to kill you all.
Xoxo, Vicky.
Exits. Enter Edward and Bella
Edward: I am going to exert my self-appointed power over you and forbid you
From going anywhere near the fight, even though my entire family and
Wolf pack will be risking their lives for you.
Bella: But I want to fight. I want to, I want to, I want to! (Throws a tantrum)
Edward: Jacob! (Jacob enters) Deal with her! (Exits)
Jacob: Hey, babe, now that Sparkly is gone, I’m totally gonna guilt trip you into
Kissing me again.
Bella: Okay! (Starts to go for it when Victoria enters)
Victoria: Prepare to die! (Lunges for Bella. Jacob puts his arm out and holds her
Back.)
Jacob: Do you mind? You’re killing my buzz. (Nosies with Bella)
Edward enters
Edward: I swear to God….(Drags Victoria off)
Edward reenters, and Bella falls into his arms
Scene 4. Stephanie sitting at her desk
Stephanie: Aw, poor Bella! She’s so completely confused and doesn’t know
Whether to pick the normal human kid who is obviously a better
Choice for her, or the 107 year old teenage vampire who meets all
Of the criteria for an abusive boyfriend.
Lights down. Lights up on wedding
Bella: Alice, I’m still really conflicted! Should I pick Edward or Jacob?
Alice: Jacob. Seriously, pick the wolf.
Edward enters
Edward: Wait, what?
Alice: Uh, nothing! (Runs off)
Bella: I take thee, Edward Mason Cullen, to be my husband.
Carlisle: I now pronounce you two stuck with each other until the sun burns out, or
The Volturi finally kills us. Whichever comes first.
Edward and Bella exit
Carlisle: Alice, you did tell her that she should’ve gone with Jacob, right?
Alice: Duh. (Exits)
Bella and Edward reenter with Renesmee
Bella: So, um, yeah. Our kid.
Jacob enters, sees Renesmee
Jacob: …How!?
Aro enters
Aro: For your crimes, you must all die!
Edward: Dude, she’s half human.
Aro: Oh, okay. My bad. (Exits)
Jacob starts to come onto Renesmee. Bella puts her hand out to block him.
Bella: Jake….No. Just, no.
All freeze in tableau
Scene 5. Stephanie centerstage
Stepanie: And the 16 year old werewolf fell in love with the half-vampire
Baby, that’s not creepy at all. And Bella went from being a
Completely useless mortal, to a just as useless immortal. I love how
These stories end.
All: And so the abusive controlling lion fell in love with the completely useless
Lamb.
