Emily: "Also this show that we are on. Hand it over, asshole."THAT NIGHT
Emily: "Alison? Are you sneaking in my (sometimes robotically alarmed) bedroom window in real life? Or did I accidentally inhale fumes or drink a bottle of cough syrup?"
Alison: "Hang on, let me try pushing every button you got."
Emily: "Nope. Won't work. I figured your shit out thanks to the Cortland Liars."
Alison: "Aw, g'wan. You know you want a piece."
Emily: "Just cut the BS and tell me who you're hiding from. Not that hard a question."
Alison: "Actually it is!"
Emily: "But why?"
Alison: "Um, I gotta go. Anyway, you're totally still in love with me."
Emily: "Ugh. Just go away."
Alison: "Then how come you're still wearing my bracelet around your wrist like a ninny?"
Also she says, "That's why I need you. You always saw the best version of me, the person I want to be." Which Emily says to shove, but also is eerily similar to what Ezra said to Aria, and is just blatant red-flag bullshit. If somebody ever says you know the "real them," prepare for impact because that means two things: One, they think it's okay to be multiple people, which means their integrity is iffy at best. Two, they are selling you something. Confessing to being manipulative is the #1 strategy of being manipulative, because people feel like you're giving them something when you tell them that. If somebody needs your validation for the best version of them, that version is untenable and therefore inauthentic: You have activated Missing Piece Protocol, Missing Piece Protocol is in effect.
MARIN
Ashley: "I'm so glad you are up and dressed like a person! That hasn't happened since my house arrest!"
Hanna: "Suck it, Ashley. I am bulletproof. I am every P!nk song right now. Which explains my shitty, trashy attitude."
Ashley: "As long as you've got energy enough to leave the house, I don't care. I love you and I want to be happy and I do not want you to act like I did after the divorce..."
Hanna: "Stop giving me the third degree about Caleb!"
Ashley: "Cool so I'll just fuck right off, yeah?"
CAVANAUGH
Spencer: "Why aren't you dressed to meet my father about Radley?"
Toby: "He canceled on me. That's why I'm making this face, it's because I'm sad."
