Frannie : [Hazel Grace is wearing a shirt printed with René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images", a painting of a pipe with the words "this is not a pipe" in French] I really don't get that shirt.
Hazel Grace Lancaster : Van Houten will get it. Trust me. There are like fifty Magritte references in "Imperial Affliction."
Frannie : "This is not a pipe."
Hazel Grace Lancaster : Exactly.
Frannie : But it is a pipe.
Hazel Grace Lancaster : No, it's not. It's a drawing of a pipe. See?
