By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 3 | Aired on 06.25.2013
Toby: "Do you think maybe it's not a phone number after all?"
Spencer: "It wouldn't ring if it wasn't a phone number, you idiot."
Toby: "I'm still very curious about my mother's suicide."
Spencer: "Should we tell the Liars you burned us?"
Toby: "I would hate for everybody to think I'm sketchy. That would be a new experience."
They agree that A, Mona or not, knows when you're at you're weakest -- but that doesn't mean she isn't helping. "Check the facts," she said.
Toby: "My mom stole a key, unlocked a window at Radley, and jumped."
Spencer: "So those are the facts we check."
Toby: "You would actually go back into Radley?"
Spencer: "Shit yeah! What do I care?"
MARIN
Ashley: "Hanna, stop looking at me like I'm a cop-killer."
Hanna: "Isn't it sad that you got gipped out of a visit to NYC, though? Stuck in a windowless room, no field trips..."
Ashley: "They kept us busy. And Friday night they dragged us to Broadway. Anything Goes."
Hanna: "How was it?"
Ashley: "Anything Went."
Theatre mythology says that the title -- it's about basically Titanic, but Jack wins and nobody dies -- came from a big rewrite session and they're like, "How do we even end the first act?" and one of the producers goes, "At this point, anything goes." A picaresque that pretended to be a bildungsroman.
MONTGOMERY
Aria: "Let the education of my new boyfriend commence."
Lauren Bacall: (Is fierce.)
Jake: "I don't trust her."
Aria: "It's film noir, don't trust anybody."
Jake: "Why are detectives always in black and white?"
Aria: "It's like time-traveling to a more pretentious world where I would be normal."
Jake: "Is it possible the TV is just broken?"
Aria: "You are dumped. I didn't put two years into a relationship with a vastly unsuitable older effete gentleman to answer the questions of a philistine."
Jake: "First of all I was kidding. Second of all, why does it freak you out so much that we might not have everything in common?"
Aria: "Listen, I'm coming off a relationship with basically my doppelganger. Give me a little wiggle room so I don't get the bends."
Jake: "So it's a turn on when I pretend to be uncultured?"
