Jacob Black: You kill her, you kill me.
Emmett Cullen: Bella, I hope you've been getting enough sleep these last 18 years, because you won't be getting any more for a while.
Jacob Black: Don't do that.
Bella Swan: What?
Jacob Black: Smile like I'm your favorite person on the world.
Bella Swan: You're one of them. It feels complete when you're here, Jake.
Jacob Black: You look terrible.
Bella Swan: Yeah, it's nice to see you too.
Rosalie Hale: I'm not offended by your choice of groom.
Bella Swan: Just my blatant lack of respect for mortality.
Rosalie Hale: Essentially.
Edward Cullen: It's crushing you, from the inside out.
Charlie Swan: You're ready?
Bella Swan: Yeah. Just don't let me fall, Dad.
Charlie Swan: Never.
Bella Swan: You have to accept this for what it is.
Edward Cullen: Because you've given me no choice.
Edward Cullen: No measure of time with you will be long enough. But we'll start with forever.
Bella Swan: I know it's impossible, but I think I'm pregnant.
Seth: How cool is this? A two-man pack. Two against the world.
Jacob Black: You're getting on my nerves, Seth.
Seth: Right. Shutting up. Can do.
Answer: Imprinting is an involuntary mechanism. The shape-shifter can't voluntarily imprint on anybody. Jacob tried to imprint on Bella but was unable to do so and began going around looking for other girls to imprint on but, is unable to do it of his own free will.
On the flip side, Sam Ulee was in love with Leah Clearwater, but then he involuntarily imprinted on Emily, dumping Leah and breaking her heart.
