Spencer: "I am handling it."Toby: "If you start thinking pills, you should call me instead."
Spencer: "Sounds good, bro. Thanks for the necklace. And also for being so Toby about this."
PAIGE
Paige: "I feel neglected. Also I look flawless."
Emily: "I know, and I love you 100%, but I am going to act super sketch today. It's one of those. I have to go on a long trip to a place you can't know about, for an errand you can't hear about, as a favor to somebody you hate very bad."
Paige: "Why do you have a million dollars in your purse?"
Emily: "Stay outta my purse."
Emily: "Late birthday present from Grandma, gotta deposit that. One errand of many."
Paige: "Is she a stripper though? Did she mail this from the post office, this wad?"
Emily, verbatim: "She doesn't trust banks. Her whole life savings has been stuck into coffee cans and cookie jars."
Paige: "That is something a fucking crazy person would do. Or anyone on this show, of course."
FT ZPARTMENT
Aria proceeds directly to Ezra's apartment, and tears that shit apart once she gets going. There's a tape of Alison's fearful conversation with The Grunwald, pictures of Aria with the pink stripe and everybody when they were very young, and a book with all kinds of facts about A and the whole show, handwritten:
Today Aria told me she and Ali caught her dad having an affair with a student... Liars blinded that girl that time... Whoever murdered her probably had a motive... A boyfriend? Toby? ...Jason's a possible suspect... Aria just found out about the NAT Club voyeurism stuff... Caleb is working with Jenna Thing and a nannycam teddybear... Mona and Lucas are nerds with attitude... Mona is locked up and totally not A even though she is kind of A... Aria is so fucking dumb she doesn't know what I'm up to no matter how sketch I get...
I'm glad they mentioned but disappointed they waved off this part: That if Ezra's been on this the whole time, there are approximately fifty billion things he could have saved her from, but he let them ride. Up to and including the awful shit that happened to him, his many lost jobs and disappearing babies. Conversations with Byron Montgomery.
She rips down this movie poster that I looked up: Truffaut's La Nuit américaine, or Day For Night (1973) -- which is all about the behind-the-scenes madness of a bad movie getting filmed. Jacqueline Bisset is going crazy because she married a much older doctor, and people have sex with other people to hurt people, and mistake fake feelings for real feelings, then feel betrayed, and who knows what other things that are relevant here.
