MTV.com has an article talking about how Robert got to choose the famous “Spider Monkey” line in Twilight. Catherine gave him a choice of what to say and he picked the “You’d better hold on tight, spider monkey” line.
Here were some of the alternative lines Catherine gave Robert to choose from:
Option 1:
Edward: You’re not scared of heights, are you?
Bella: Not that I know of …
Option 2:
Edward: Hold on tight …
Bella: Don’t worry …
Option 3:
Edward: Wrap your legs around me like a spider monkey.
Bella: Done.
Option 4:
Edward: Got a good grip? Don’t let go.
Bella: No chance of that, buddy.
Option 5
Edward: Prepare for liftoff …
To read the three remaining alternatives that didn’t make the cut head on over to the MTV Movies Blog. There, you can vote on which lines are real — and which is the fake one that they’ve thrown in there for fun. On Monday, the fake one will be revealed.
Here are the choices:
Which Of These Pieces Of Dialogue Was Not In Any Version Of The ‘Twilight’ Script?
“Prepare for takeoff…”
“Fasten your seat belt, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.”
“Don’t worry. My hair acts as an airbag.”
“Are you secure? There may be some turbulence.”
i’m glad that he chose the spider monkey line
all of the others wouldnt have fit
The first one is cute but none of the others really fit the storyline.

i rly liked the first one!! they shoulda used that one.. although the spider monkey line is rly cute!!! the other ones r kinda stupid.. i agree with sakurahan, they dont rly fit the storyline..
I
I’m glad they used the spider monkey line!
-bellaaaaaa
I love that line!
me too!
“Fasten your seat belt, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.”
THAT IS FROM HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN! THE SHUNKEN HEAD ON THE NIGHT BUS! “Fasen yoour seet-belts, es gonna be a boompay ride!” But I love Rob 4 picking the, “You’d better hold on tight, spider monkey,” line is so awesome in Rob’s english accent. and not the british one…..
haha those are funny rob made a good choice
It’s sooooooo NOT gonna be ‘dont worry my hair acts as an airbag!’ When I first saw TWILIGHT! I didn’t get the spider monkey line cuz it’s not in the book but now I think it’s so cute! Can’t believe it’s a year ago since I first read twilight! Can’t wait for NEW MOON!!! I also had a twilight birthday cake!
i <3 that line its funny n cute
I will wrap my leg aroud HIM like a spidermonkey!!! LOL!!!
