The Best Jasper Hale Quotes

Alice: They'll be here in four days.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: This could turn into a bloodbath.
Edward: Who's behind it?
Alice: I didn't see anyone I recognized... maybe one.
Edward: I know his face. He's a local. Riley Biers. He didn't start this.
Alice: Whoever did is staying out of the action.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: They must be playing with the blind spots in your vision.
Jasper: Either way, the army's coming and there aren't enough of us to protect the town.
Jacob: Hold up. What damn army?
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: Newborns. Our kind.
Embry: What are they after?
Alice: They were passing around Bella's scent. A red blouse.
Jacob: They're after Bella? What the hell does this mean?
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: It means an ugly fight. With lives lost.
Jacob: [looking at his pack mates, then back at Carlisle] All right. We're in.
Bella: No... you'll get yourself killed. No way.
Jacob: I wasn't asking for permission.

Bella: Jasper? Are you sure there's nothing I can do to help?
Jasper: Well just your presence alone, your scent, will distract the newborns. Their hunting instinct will take over, and drive 'em crazy.
Bella: Good, I'm glad.
[Jasper nods and begins to walk away]
Bella: Hey,
[Jasper turns around]
Bella: how do you know so much about this?
Jasper: I didn't have quite the same upbringing as my adopted siblings.
[Rolls up sleeves and shows Bella his arms, which have bite marks on them]
Bella: [Hops off Jeep] Those bites are like mine.
Jasper: [with a smirk] Battle scars. All the training the Confederate Army gave me was useless against the newborns, but still, I never lost a fight.
Bella: [he walks away; after a beat she follows him] Hey, this - this happened during the Civil War?
Jasper: [smiles] I was the youngest major in the Texas Calvary, all without having seen any real battle.
Bella: Until...?
Jasper: [suddenly serious] Till I met a certain immortal... Maria.
[enters a flashback]

Jasper: Don't hold back.
Emmett: [Smiles] Not in my nature.
[Charges Jasper; once Jasper manages to take Emmett down]
Emmett: Never lose focus.

Alice: I've decided to throw a party.
Jasper: After all, how many times are we going to graduate high school.
[Edward scoffs]
Angela: A party at your place?
Jessica: I've never seen your house.
Eric: No one's ever seen their house.
Edward: Another party Alice?
Alice: It'll be fun.
Bella: Yeah. That's what you said last time.
[Alice slumps back, has a vision]
Bella: [trying to distract her from Alice] Hey Angela.
Angela: Yeah?
Bella: You need some help with those?

Jasper: [after Carlisle knocks Edward on his back after their mock fight] One more thing. Never turn your back on your enemy.
[rolls eyes]

Dr. Carlisle Cullen: Jacob. Do you think Sam would agree to... an understanding?
Jacob: So long as we get to kill *some* vampires.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: Jasper?
Jasper: They'll give us the numbers. The newborns won't know they even exist. That'll give us an edge.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: We'll need to coordinate.
Bella: Carlisle! They're gonna get hurt!
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: We'll all need some training. Fighting newborns requires knowledge Jasper has. You're welcome to join us.
Jacob: All right. Name the time and the place.
Bella: Jake, you don't know what you're getting yourself into.
Jacob: Bella, this is what we do. You should be happy. Look at us, working together. You are the one who wanted us to get along, remember?

Jasper: Well done, Bella. Never seen a newborn show that kind of restraint.
Emmett: I'm not sure she is a newborn. She's so... tame.
Edward: Emmett, don't antagonize her. She's the strongest one in the house.
Emmett: [cracks his knuckles and scoffs] Please.

Alice: Bella!
[Alice hops over the stairway banister]
Alice: [hugging Bella] Happy Birthday!
Bella: Shh, shh.
[Alice hands Bella a wrapped birthday present]
Bella: I thought we agreed, no presents.
Alice: I've already seen you open it, and guess what: you love it! You're gonna wear it tonight. Our place.
[Bella balks, looking reluctant]
Alice: [begs] Come on, please? It'll be fun.
[Standing behind Alice, Jasper lowers his head and looks intently at Bella]
Bella: Okay. All right.
Alice: [giddily] Great! Okay, I'll see you at seven.
[Alice skips back to Jasper, and Bella gets a look as if snapping out of something]
Bella: Jasper...! No fair with the mood control thing.
Jasper: [smiles] Sorry, Bella. Happy...
[Bella gives him a look]
Jasper: Never mind.

Jasper: [to Bella, voice shaky w/ emotion] I thought what Maria and I had was love.
[beat]
Jasper: But I was her puppet. She pulled the strings. I didn't know there was another way...
[smiles a tiny bit]
Jasper: till I found Alice.
[beat]
Jasper: Now, she'd seen me coming, of course.
Alice: [suddenly at his side, light & playful] You kept me waiting long enough.
[beat, Jasper laughs a little; in full Texas drawl]
Jasper: My apologies, ma'am.
[Bella smiles at the exchange]
Jasper: I don't know what I'd have become without her.
Alice: Shhh...
[smiles reassuring]
Alice: You'll never have to be that again.
[beat; eventually moves closer & they kiss tenderly]

Jasper: The two most important things to remember are first, never let them get their arms around you, they'll crush you instantly. And second, never go for the obvious kill. They'll be expecting that. And you will lose. Emmett!

Bella: You all know what I want. And I know it's a lot to ask for. The only fair way I can think of is if we put this to a vote.
Edward: Bella, you don't know what you're doing.
Bella: [to Edward] Just... shut up.
Bella: Alice?
Alice: I already consider you my sister... Yes!
Bella: Thank you.
Jasper: I vote yes. It would be nice not to want to kill you all the time.
Rosalie: I'm sorry. I'm really sorry to both of you for how I've acted. And I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go save my brother. But this isn't a life I would have chosen for myself. And I wish that there had been someone to vote no for me. So no.
Emmett: I vote hell yeah! We can pick a fight with the Volturi some other way.
Esme: I already think of you as part of the family. Yes!
Edward: Why are you doing this to me? You know what this means.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen: You've chosen not to live without her, which leaves me no choice. I won't lose my son.
