Spencer: "Toby, I'm not sure why you're not picking up but please don't sign that agreement until I have a chance to rant and rave at you about it. Okay? I can't explain further at this time because I have more lives to ruin all over town. Love, Spence."
DOJO
Aria: "Here is your necklace back. It is so super ugly but I can't keep it."
Jake: "Fuck am I gonna do with it? Leave me to my exercises."
Aria: "Are you gonna burst into tears? Follow-up question, can I take a picture if you do that."
Jake: "I just don't get why you would pick your abuser over a nice man. Because that has never happened before in the history of people."
Aria: "Abuser? He's got me by like, eleven pounds at most. LOL, abuser. What are you talking about?"
Jake: "I saw him yelling at a blonde lady outside the Applewood Grille and it was so scary! It made my taut perfect stomach hurt."
Aria: "Don't be ridiculous. He was in Philadelphia today."
Jake: "Then he must have come home early. Trust me, I recognize him. Everybody got special cards in the mail alerting us when he moved back into the area."
My sister Jenny and brother David graduated on the same day from the same high school, and I got their graduation announcements in the mail the same day as our sex-offender alerts, on the way to work, and so I pinned all of them up in a row in my cubicle, and spent the day talking about how I was proud of each of them equally, for different reasons. Fairly dark joke, looking back, but it still makes me laugh, almost ten years later, whenever sex offenders come up in conversation.
Jake: "I always wondered if Ezra was the person you were afraid of. Remember how I asked you point-blank?"
Aria: "Psh. I'm not afraid of Ezra."
Jake: "Maybe you should be!"
Aria: "The Ezra I know doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Just hollow ones, like a delicate beautiful bird."
CRACKED UP!
This is the second time it's happened with Hanna, I didn't mention it before, but there's a funny thing where the music on the soundtrack which seems extradiagetic is actually the music Hanna's listening to, which gives her a sort of pathetic-fallacy control over the environment that sneaks up on you in a cool way. Before, with Travis, it was like this fake-happy times music so when she turned off the boombox it jerked you right down into the muck with her.
