Jacob's line in Quileute in New Moon Movie

We are editing this old post to add this tidbit we also posted elsewhere on the site. Dazzled By Twilight featured this audio recording of Quileute phrases, and it SEEMS that the phrase, Kwop Kilatley as is seen in searches on the internet, or more accurately kwopkalawo’li” (pronunced quo-p-kah-lah-WOH-oh-lee), is spoken on this audio recording. He says it 3 times, slowly. It means I love You. 

Quileute audio of Jacob's line in New Moon

 
Overwhelmingly in the fandom world, the most asked question or talked about topic has been Jacob's line in Quiluete to Bella RIGHT before the phone call from Edward. Taylor commented on this topic before the release, telling us all that he's just not going to reveal the answer.

BEVERLY HILLS, California — As any Twilighter worth their "Spunk Ransom" T-shirt knows, Jacob Black is played in the movies by 17-year-old Taylor Lautner. Jacob is a Native American from the Quileute tribe in La Push, Washington; in real life, Taylor also has some Native American blood running through his veins, courtesy of his Ottawa and Potawatomi tribe ancestry.

In a key scene from this weekend's highly anticipated sequel "New Moon," Jacob leans in to kiss Bella — but before he does, he whispers a Quileute phrase to her. So when we caught up with Jacob recently, we had to ask: What is Taylor saying in that scene?
"I don't want to tell you what I'm saying," he teased, insisting that the line of dialogue is meant to be an Easter egg that only the most hard-core "Twilight" fans will be able to crack. "That would defeat the whole purpose!"
But if fans really want to know Jacob's smooth line before he goes in for a kiss, they'd better hurry. As part of his research, Taylor has spent a good amount of time over the last two years with real-life Quileute tribe elders — and he told us that only that small handful of people would be able to properly translate.
"There is, I believe, only four people left that speak Quileute," Taylor said of the dying language. "We were able to talk to one of them. It was awesome to actually talk to her; she knows the language fluently."
If we really want to know, Taylor joked that we would have to get ourselves a DVD of "New Moon" when it comes out, track down a Quileute elder and hope they're willing to share some tribal secrets. "You might have to, Larry, or I'll just leave and you can just guess," he teased. "What do you think I said when I leaned into Bella right before I try and kiss her in the kitchen? [All I'll say] is 'Blah blah blah blah blah.' "
Obviously, I'm no Melissa Rosenberg when it comes to writing dialogue, but when I guessed that it was a romantic line that had Jacob pledging eternal love to Bella, Taylor said I was on the right track.
"I'll give you one thing: You're close," he said, flashing that trademark bright, white Taycob smile. "You're close. You're along the lines."

SunnySavanah discussed her views at Twilightmoms
Reading on the Quileute Nation's page for language. I think that the "le" ending is "I'm" or "I am"
You can discuss the topic here at Twilightmoms

Don't bother emailing your closest Quileute representative either because they are keeping hush hush. They posted on their Facebook page:

Jacob’s line in Quileute

Dear Fans: Thank you for all the calls and emails regarding the scene in the movie where Jacob whispers to Bella in Quileute. Please know, we would love to translate the phrase for you, but out of respect for Jacob’s feelings for Bella we are unable to at this time.

If you really want to try and figure it out yourself, here are a few words and phrases
Quileute Words and Phrases: 1st set
1. Havh chi/8 [hah-ch chee-EH] “Good morning”
2. Havh roch9mtiya [hah-ch toe-CHOKE-tee-yuh] “Good afternoon”
3. Havh aw8 [hah-ch uh-WAY] “Good night!”
4. Ayqsocha [uh-YAH-so-CHUH] “How are you?” (-cha, said to a man)
Ayqsochid [uh-YAH-so-CHID] “How are you? (-chid, said to a woman)

Google turns up the answer of: Stay with me forever. But to be honest folks, if the Quileute nation isn't talking, then I really don't think the power of Google has the true answer on this one

Wikipedia says "The words in Quileute were very long and could sometimes express ideas rather than only words."

Grown women loving Twilight: featured in Washington Post

So my cool highlight of the weekend on top of New Moon is being featured in an article in the Washington Post (also sampled in the New York Times) discussing what it's like for grown women to give into their love/hate with Twilight. It was SUPER cool to get featured after answering a call for adult women to give their stories about how they became obsessed with Twilight. A few things she left out were also how we've been struggling with 2 full years of infertility. On top of that, I work full time with active duty Soldiers returning from war struggling with PTSD. It's just stressful and hard. Twilight, for me, was one of the best escapes I'd had in 2 years. It was one of the happiest things I'd had in those 2 years , that was just perfect and had a happy ending. Infertility for US has still not had a happy ending. Twilight was one of the things my husband and I could bond over that wasn't babies, bills and crappy life struggles. So here you go

They also sampled some of TheWolfMan's idea's about comparing Twi-hards to Sports Addicts

Monica Hesse did the interview for the Washington Post:

We know. You hate "Twilight." You don't want to hear anything more about "Twilight." That's why this is not another story about the "Twilight" or "New Moon" mania, nor will it rhapsodize on the vampire craze, nor does it contain any interviews with Robert Pattinson.

This is a story about shame.
All across the country, there were women who managed to avoid Stephenie Meyer's series about a star-crossed human/vampire teen couple. (Vampire Edward lusts for mortal Bella, but also for her blood; the books are less plot than endless yearning). They resisted the first three books -- refused to read them, didn't know they existed -- and the lunacy that was "Breaking Dawn."

"Twilight" came for the tweens, then for the moms of tweens, then for the co-workers who started wearing those ridiculous Team Jacob shirts, and the resisters said nothing, because they thought "Twilight" could not come for them. They were too literary. They didn't do vampires. They were feminists.

Then something happened: the release of the "Twilight" movie, which last year introduced $384 million worth of audience members to Kristen Stewart as mortal Bella and Pattinson as lust incarnate.
"Prior to 'Twilight,' my favorite books were by Anthony Burgess" and Ayn Rand, says Jenny West, 32, who had never heard of the series until she saw ads for the movie last year. "I bought 'Twilight' [the book] with the full intention of ripping it apart." Then she read it. In one night. Bought "New Moon" the next day. "I was kind of horrified with myself, and I had to keep going." When she finished the last book, she reopened the first one and started again.
She founded the blog Twitarded, to process what had happened to her. She and co-Twitard Debbie Connelly were last spotted soliciting donations to win a charity benefit date with Peter Facinelli, the actor who plays Edward's dad.
Beware the dark side

People, be warned. "New Moon," the "Twilight" movie sequel, opens on Friday. Everyone is vulnerable.
One minute you're a functioning member of society, the next you're succumbing to the dark side, wondering how deep you're willing to go -- and what that longing says about you.
In "Twilight," Edward Cullen waffled between wooing and eating new girl Bella Swan. He chose love. In "New Moon," the darkest installment of the series, Edward becomes convinced that his girlfriend would be safer without him, so he dumps her in order to protect her and then vanishes. Bella, catatonic from the pain, finds solace in Jacob Black, the devoted friend who has just learned he is a werewolf, and their relationship grows deeper, and this description is utterly, utterly useless because none of it gets at what the "Twilight" series is actually about, which is being 17.
It's a time capsule to the breathless period when the world could literally end depending on whether your lab partner touched your hand, when every conversation was so agonizing and so thrilling (and the border between the two emotions was so thin), and your heart was bigger and more delicate than it is now, and everything was just so much more.
"I noticed in that first week of reading that I was feeling things I hadn't been able to feel in a long time," says Lauren Ashlock, 27. She'd avoided the "Twilight" series ever since the 2005 release of the first book, because when she saw the passion of so-called TwiHards, she thought, Wackos.

She relented last year only because she wanted to be an informed hater. She snuck the books into her house, at first reading them in the bathroom so her husband wouldn't laugh. The floodgates opened. "I'd locked away a lot of emotions," she says. "I'd numbed out." It had been a terrible year, with unrelenting job stress, and yet suddenly she was feeling alive again.
The behavior that followed will make perfect sense to someone who has read "Twilight" and seem bat-crazy to anyone who hasn't: Ashlock got three dogs and named them after "New Moon's" werewolf pack. She and her husband traveled to Forks, the two-bit town in Washington state where Bella and Edward fictionally live. When the Ashlocks have a child, they will name it from the novels: "If it's a girl her middle name will be Renesmee, and I don't care if you hate the name because I love it."
The people who have not read "Twilight" do not get it. Worse, they think that what happened to Ashlock could not happen to them. They're so smug, talking about how they once read a chapter of "Twilight" in a bookstore and the prose was just awful. Meyer never uses one adjective when she could use three, and most of the time that adjective is a hyphenate combining "dazzling" and "chiseled."

This is what made it into the New York Times

In The Washington Post on Thursday, Monica Hesse reports on a previously unidentified group whose numbers appear to be growing: women who thought that they were above the “Twilight” phenomenon, only to find themselves getting sucked in by the Stephenie Meyer novels and their film adaptations.
As Ms. Hesse writes:

“Twilight” came for the tweens, then for the moms of tweens, then for the co-workers who started wearing those ridiculous Team Jacob shirts, and the resisters said nothing, because they thought “Twilight” could not come for them. They were too literary. They didn’t do vampires. They were feminists.
Then something happened: the release of the “Twilight” movie, which last year introduced $384 million worth of audience members to Kristen Stewart as mortal Bella and [Robert] Pattinson as lust incarnate.

Among the late “Twilight” converts that Ms. Hesse encounters is Jenny West, a 32-year-old fan of Anthony Burgess and Ayn Rand, who says she bought the book “Twilight” “with the full intention of ripping it apart.” She read it in one night, bought “New Moon” the next day, and read that in a night. “I was kind of horrified with myself, and I had to keep going,” she tells The Post.
Then there is 27-year-old Lauren Ashlock, who had managed to avoid the Twilight” craze until she broke down and read the first book last year. (“I’d locked away a lot of emotions,” she says. “I’d numbed out.”) Now she says that when she and her husband have a child, they will give it a name from the “Twilight” novels. “If it’s a girl her middle name will be Renesmee,” Ms. Ashlock tells The Post, “and I don’t care if you hate the name because I love it.”
As the countdown continues to the release of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” will you admit to being a closet (or open) “Twilight” fan? Are you among the last remaining holdouts who hasn’t yet succumbed to Team Edward or Team Jacob? Post a comment and let us know.

New Moon Tickets Sales

I'll break down the basics of the money train as it pulls into the station. And I"ll just go ahead and get it out of the way. TWILIGHT FANS FREAKING ROCK.



At this point, New Moon just broke every midnight release record, is selling 10 tickets PER SECOND and is poised to be the biggest opening ever.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is poised to break its second box office record in a single day.
According to four people who have closely watched ticket sales data today but requested anonymity because they are not authorized to release the information, the teen vampire phenomenon is all but certain to gross more than $67.2 million, the record set by "The Dark Knight" last year for the biggest single-day take at the box office.
By 5 p.m., the movie had already sold more than $50 million worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada. When evening shows are included, the total will likely be more than $70 million, the people said.
Given the huge amount of pent-up interest among fans, who are rushing out to theaters on opening day, ticket sales are expected to drop significantly on Saturday and Sunday. Nonetheless, a total weekend gross of more than $110 million is all but certain and more than $120 million is very possible. That would give "New Moon" the biggest weekend gross for any movie this year and make it one of the top five pictures of all time at the domestic box office, not accounting for ticket price inflation.
Ticket sales from the 25 foreign countries where "New Moon" is opening this weekend will almost certainly push the worldwide weekend gross to more than $150 million.
Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the "Twilight" films, will release an official total for Friday ticket sales on Saturday morning.

During the midnight showing alone, we took in almost 8 million more than the previous record holder. AND that record holder included Imax tickets which are severely more expensive than the regular tickets being sold for New Moon, so adjusted, New Moon opened almost 10 million more for Midnight. Twilight, now a year old, didn't do half bad either for a one night showing

Summit’s official estimate for midnight ticket sales is $26.27 million. Its official estimate for the gross of the original “Twilight” last night is $1.3 million.
Reports say The Twilight Saga: New Moon has shattered The Dark Knight’s $18.4M midnight debut for a 3-day weekend. Sources put the total at $23-24M. This would also surpass Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, whose 5-day weekend began with $22.2M on a Tuesday night.

We are blowing Harry Potter's 5 DAY take, in 24 hours

So where are you Summit with your Breaking Dawn Greenlight?

Well "Dear Alice" makes so much more sense now

Nordstroms has a good thing on their hands with this one:

I actually always liked this shirt from Nordstroms, even though I had no idea what it even meant. Till now. I personally love the idea of having more voice over, yet making it in a letter to Alice. They also smartly fit in the "Time passes" quote, yet in an email to Alice, which was genius. Think I'll be buying this one. If I can wear it without crying

New Moon by a guy: New Moon in 5 mins

So I'm getting pressure to put out my review of New Moon and honestly I'm still on a super emotional roller coaster so I decided when TheWolfMan posted HIS review, a take off of Twilight in 15 mins, I'd just post it here. Cause it's pretty damn funny. If you don't want SPOILERS, Dont read yet
