On the morning of her departure for Amsterdam, Hazel
wonders why scrambled eggs have been labelled as breakfast food.
Hazel and her mother go to Augusts and as they reach the door, they
hear someone crying and shouting.
They turn back to the car and minutes later Augusts
emerges from his house, seemingly unaffected. At the airport Hazel
must disengage her oxygen tank in order to pass through security. Se
describes it feels like a certain freedom without being in
momentarily.
At the flight gate Augustus says he´s hungry and
leaves to get breakfast, but a long time is gone, before he returns.
He says the line was long. But minutes later he tells Hazel, that the
line wasn´t long, he just doesn´t want to sit in the gate area with
all the people staring at them. It makes him extremely angry and he
don´t want to be angry today.
On the plane Hazel learns that Augustus has never
flown and he is afraid. During the flight Hazel and Augusts watch the
move “300”. Afterwards the two discuss the total number of living
people versus the total number dead people in the history of mankind.
Augustus asks Hazel to read aloud from Ginsburgs
“Howl”, but she chooses to recite a poem from memory instead.
After finishing Augustus tells Hazel he loves her.
