Aria & Spencer: "Let's get the fuck on up out of here before the fireworks start."
Caleb: "I cannot believe I am the only person left at this wedding."
Hanna: "Isabel, my parents hooked up a few weeks ago. Do you know what 'hooked up' means?"
Isabel: "No, this hip teen lingo does a number on my head. Is it anything like feeling 'hung'?"
Hanna: "No, it means they did it. Sexual intercourse. Like he put his..."
Isabel: "-- Got it."
Tom: Staring, not not exactly blameless.
Hanna: "Sorry?"
Tom: More wordless sorrow. Not as touching, except it reminded me of how sad Ella was before, and that made me sad.
A: Well done, here's the address. This is not a trick or a trap, okay.
SCARY BARN: 3 HOURS AGO
Emily: "Helloooo? Anybody in this barn? Nope! Just this car with the engine turned on, pumping carbon monoxide into this enclosed space. Maybe there's a creepy doll in the backseat or... I feel a little woozy, that's probably why I'm making ass-headed decisions right now. Helloooo? Anybody under the car? On the ceiling? Slamming the barn door behind me?"
Slam! Obviously!
Emily: "Oh, goddammit. I just murdered myself for no reason. I sure hope Hanna's making use of her newfound intelligence now that I have sucked all the stupid out of everybody else."
Emily dies. Somebody drags her dead corpse out of the barn. Her poor dress!
STATION
Toby: "I don't believe you killed more people!"
Adults: "Get out of here, you. No need for Boo Radleys at this witch hunt."
Toby: "But what are they even charged with?"
Adults: "That will never be made clear. Now get out!"
Toby: "Spencer, I love you! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"
Spencer: "Jesus, take it down a notch. We already come off enough like Mickey and Mallory as it is. Get in that truckbaby I bought you and vamoose until I stare a hole in this one-way mirror."
HEAVEN: 3 HOURS AGO, OR LIKE, IT IS BEYOND TIME & SPACE
Alison, verbatim because it might matter: "It's okay. You're with me now. It's so good to see you, Emily. I think I miss you the most. Just rest. It's what you need. Rest. I never told you this, but you were always my favorite. Nobody loved me as much as you did."
She's got Emily's head in her lap, and it's pretty sweet. Not only because she's always so soft with Emily, but because no matter what her agenda was, or what level of frenemy or bereavement or sandbox romance she's talking about, all of those things were -- and still are -- totally true. Good old Emily. Even the creepy score gets a little sweet and sad when those two are together. Lovely little scene.
