The Fault in Our Stars Page #30

GUS'S VOICE

She's so beautiful. You don't get

tired of looking at her. You never

worry if she's smarter than you

cause you know she is. She's funny

without ever being mean.

SHE REMEMBERS:

- The magical dinner at Oranjee.

- The bench in which they sat overlooking the water.

- The passionate kiss in Anne Frank's house.

- Falling onto the bed together.

[All of these are images we saw at the beginning of the

movie, only now, we SEE the oxygen tank, we SEE Gus's leg, we

SEE the fumbling and the difficulties etc. They don't make

these images less beautiful. They make them twice as

beautiful - because they're real.]

GUS'S VOICE

I love her, god I love her. I'm so

lucky to love her, Van Houten.

(MORE)

114.

GUS'S VOICE (CONT'D)

You don't get to choose if you get

hurt in this world but you do have

a say in who hurts you.

- AND BACK ON Hazel in the grass. She holds the letter to her

chest. A single tear falls onto her cheeks.

GUS'S VOICE

I like my choices. I hope she likes

hers.

Hazel CLOSES HER EYES.

GUS'S VOICE

Ok, Hazel Grace?

A beat. Another.

Hazel OPENS HER EYES. And she says to the universe:

HAZEL:

Ok.

BLACK.
