MARIN
Hanna: (Cute conversation with Caleb, interrupted by Dad; Grandma Regina's on the case.)
Regina: "Hey, let's talk about what a bitch Isabel is. Do you have any info?"
Hanna: "Oh my God, Grandma. Dad's happy. I have to pretend that's all that matters."
Regina, verbatim: "Happy, what's happy. Cows are happy, they end up sloppy joes."
Ashley: "...Oh Lord, my former mother-in-law."
Regina: "You look prettier than Condoleeza Rice! I'm reorganizing your kitchen, of course."
Hanna: "In even scarier news, I'm supposed to give a toast with Kate. The girl who is going to kill me after A kills me."
Regina: "No, fuck it. Let's get drunk and not involve ourselves in any part of this bullshit wedding."
Ashley: "Oh my God, Regina."
Regina: "Nope, Hanna and I have agreed that we have to sabotage this wedding."
Hanna: "That's not exactly what I..."
Ashley: "Seriously! I am not in love with your son and he's not in love with me. Where were you during this storyline? It already happened. And put my kitchen shit back."
Regina: "Are you lying to yourself, too?"
Hanna, kind of loving it: "On a near-constant basis, Grandma."
MONTGOMERY
Aria: "Mike, turn off that generically sad emo music and come downstairs. And stop talking to strangers online about your feelings, especially if they are ghost ninjas using you to get to me. And stop making our parents upset or else they're going to get divorced again. And stop starving yourself. And stop bugging everybody and being a crybaby."
Mike: "Fuck off, Aria."
Ella shows up and tries to get him off the computer and it ends up with some accidental violence that freaks everybody out completely. It's scary and just a little too real. If he'd actually hit her or something it wouldn't be as scary or as sad as this awkward flurry of activity that ends up in bruises for everybody. Also, Holly Marie Combs is the most amazing actor. Usually when people are that talented at such a young age it leaks away, for whatever reason, in public; it's always so nice to watch people make that transition as gracefully as she has.
