God! Jesus, you scared me! How long have you been standing there?
Eve Connors:
Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Well, are you going to answer my question?
Kat Connor:
What question?
Eve Connors:
That boy next door. Do you love him?
Kat Connor:
What are you talking about? It's none of your business.
Eve Connors:
I don't love your father. I can't stand him as a matter of fact.
Kat Connor:
What the fuck? Why would you say that to me? Go fucking tell it to someone else!

Kat Connor:
I know Phil's not the smartest crayon in the box.
Mickey:
That is the understatement of century.

That's what I kind of like about him, you know. He's just simple. I know it sounds perverse, but he's kind of like my dad in that way. You scratch the surface, and there's just more surface.

The Descendants - Betrayal and Disillusionment in Family Dynamics
Alexandra King:
When I was over at Christmas, I caught her with the guy. It made me sick to see her near you. I went back to school thinking that that was it... that I was just done with her. I was gonna call and tell you everything, and... and then the accident happened, and... I was waiting until she woke up, I guess. You didn't even suspect. Right? Right? You disgusted me too. You're always so busy.

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.

The Fault in Our Stars - The Complexity of Pity and Understanding
Van Houten:
I will not indulge your childish whims. I refuse to pity you in the manner in which you're accustomed.
Hazel Grace Lancaster: [upset]
Hey I do not want your pity-
Van Houten:
Of course you do. Like all sick kids, your existence depends on it.
Lidewij: [shocked]
Peter!
Van Houten:
You are fated to live out your days the child you were when diagnosed, the child who believes there is a life after a novel ends. And we, as adults, we pity this, so we pay for your treatments, for your oxygen machines...
Lidewij: [angry]
Peter that's enough.
Van Houten:
...You are a side effect to an evolutionary process that cares little for individual lives. You are a failed experiment in mutation.
Hazel Grace Lancaster: [standing up angrily]
Listen douchepants! There's nothing that you're gonna tell me about my disease that I don't already know. Okay I came here for one thing and one thing only. That is for you to tell me what happens at the end of this goddamn book!
Van Houten:
I can't tell you.
Hazel Grace Lancaster:
Bullshit!
Van Houten:
I can't-
Hazel Grace Lancaster: [slapping the glass of scotch out of his hands]
Then make something up!
Van Houten:
I want you to leave.
