The Fault in Our Stars - Seeking Closure in a Complicated Narrative
Augustus Waters: [on the phone]
I cannot stop thinking about this Goddamned book.
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
You're welcome.
Augustus Waters:
However, we do need closure, don't you think?
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
That is exactly what I was asking Van Houten for in my letters.
Augustus Waters:
But he never responded.
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
Nope.
Augustus Waters: [inhales theatrically]
Dear Mr. Waters. I write to thank you for your electronic correspondence. I am grateful to anyone that sets aside time to read my book.
Hazel Grace Lancaster: [sits up excitedly]
Augustus?
Augustus Waters:
Yes?
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
What are you doing?
Augustus Waters:
I may have found Van Houten's assistant. E-mailed her.
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
Augustus!
Augustus Waters:
She may have forwarded that e-mail onto Van Houten. Shall I continue?
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
Oh my God, yeah, go go go!
Augustus Waters:
I am particularly indebted to you, sir." Hazel Grace, he just called me "sir.
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
Augustus, keep reading! Keep reading!
Augustus Waters:
... both for your kind words about "An Imperial Affliction" and for taking the time to tell me that the book, and here I quote you directly, meant a great deal to you and your friend Hazel Grace'.
Hazel Grace Lancaster: [screams excitedly]
You did not! No, you did not, you did not, you did not!
Augustus Waters:
Of course I did. "To answer your question: No, I have not written anything else, nor will I. I do not feel like continuing to share my thoughts with readers would benefit either them or me. However, thank you for your generous e-mail. Yours most sincerely, Peter Van Houten." So yeah, that just happened.
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
Oh my God!
Augustus Waters:
I've been trying to tell you, I'm kind of awesome.

Hazel Grace Lancaster:
You know, this obsession you have, with being remembered?
Augustus Waters:
Don't get mad.
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
I am mad! I'm mad because I think you're special. And isn't that enough? You think that the only way to lead a meaningful life, is for everyone to remember you. For everyone to love you! Guess what, Gus - this is your life! This is all you get! You get me, and you get your family and you get this world, and that's it! And if that's not enough for you, then I'm sorry, but its not nothing. Because I love you. And I'm going to remember you.

Dude, come on, really? I'm assuming you have a little time, you interrupting bastard. You interrupt in the middle of my eulogy... You're supposed to be dead! But when the scientists of the future come to my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell those scientists to piss off cause, Gus, I don't want to see a world without you in it. I know I don't want to see a world without Augustus Waters.
