The highly anticipated “New Moon” is fast becoming one of the biggest blockbuster movies of the year.

At the advanced screening tendered by Wilson Que’s Pioneer Films at Promenade Greenhills last Nov. 19, even invited celebrities willingly waited to be seated at the SRO venue just so they could have bragging rights to watching ahead of many, this second installment of the “Twilight” franchise.

This past weekend, almost all theaters that screen “New Moon” were packed with fans who were just dying [no pun intended] to watch the chemistry between Bella (played by actress Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), as well as the buffed up body of Jacob (Taylor Lautner).

And there are the lines that have people swooning and ribbing their seatmates in mad delight. Without spoiling the pleasure for those who have not yet seen “New Moon,” Manila Bulletin Entertainment Online compiles here some of the lines that will surely make fans of the “Twilight” series look forward to the next installment, “Eclipse.”

1) Jacob to Bella: "I will be there until your heart stops beating."

2) Bella on Edward: “I didn’t have to look to know who it was; this was a voice I would know anywhere—know, and respond to, whether I was awake or asleep… or even dead, I’d bet. The voice I’d walk through fire for—or, less dramatically, slosh every day through the cold and endless rain…”

3) Bella to Edward: “If I develop this film, will you show up in the picture?”

4) Bella to Edward: “Do you think I’ll ever get better at this? That my heart might someday stop trying to jump out of my chest whenever you touch me?”

5) Bella on Edward: “Though I respected the need for maintaining a safe distance between my skin and his razor-sharp, venom-coated teeth, I tended to forget about trivial things like that when he was kissing me.”

6) Edward to Bella: “Every second that I'm with you is about restraint... and you're too fragile.”

7) Laurent to Bella: “How much could you mean to him [Edward] if he left you here, unprotected? But, I can't help myself. You're so... mouthwatering.”

8) Edward to Bella: “You're my only reason to stay... alive. If that's what I am.”

9) Aro: “I love a happy ending. They are so rare.”

10) Jacob to Bella: “We only kill what we are trying to protect you from, vampires..”
