"I don't have to explain that to you." "You've been in these places." "Everything but a bell goes off when they smell fresh meat." "Tell Spencer to cut this embargo crap before it's too late." "Have you forgotten what it feels like to be in a cage for something you didn't do?" "Do you remember how that felt?" "Yes, I do." "But I also remember whose words put me in that cage." "Do you?"

"But if you actually think there's somebody on the outside helping her" "Yeah, totally." "I mean, there was a fireworks display." "Maybe she planned that before she got arrested." "No way." "Someone is helping her." "What do you mean, someone?" "I saw Alison and Holbrook under the mistletoe, and he had his tongue down her throat." "It's him." "We don't know that for sure." "Didn't Tanner say he was assigned to a case in Pittsburgh?" "He's off it." "He had to take a personal leave to take care of his sick dad." "That's convenient." "Can you see if Holbrook's visiting Ali in prison?" "Uh, no, guys, he can't." "Why should he be the one who's thrown head-first into the lion's den?" "WOMAN: ( on radio) All units 10-19."

"This smells like Wilden all over again." "Holbrook is not Wilden." "He may be worse." "Holbrook's not that bad of a cop." "He's just a really bad kisser." "You kissed him?" "When did you kiss him?" "What?" "Hanna?" "You guys, it was one kiss." "Closed mouth." "Why did you kiss him?" "He helped my mom with the whole Wilden deposit box thing and he stood up for Travis' dad in court." "Okay, whatever happened to a thank-you card?" "Look, if Holbrook's helping Alison, then she probably convinced him that she's the victim." "If he knew who she really was then" "( school bell rings )" "Seriously though, how many schools did you get into?" "I've got to go." "( cell phone beeps )" "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Cash for what?" "A plane ticket to go and see Paige over spring break." "My mom won't even let me touch my college savings." "Meanwhile, every day that goes by, Paige and I, we're growing further apart." "Last time we spoke, I even mentioned looking into a liberal arts school in Oregon" "Em, can we not do this now?" "I can't talk about this." "Paige and me?" "College." "The whole subject is making my hair fall out." "Seriously, it's like coming out in clumps." "What are you talking about?" "Em, I've been rejected from every single college I applied to." "Yesterday, Talmadge wait-listed me." "Talmadge." "Tell me that "A" isn't responsible for this." "A wait-list doesn't mean rejection." "Yeah, well, the rest of you are gonna be waltzing off to sorority rush and I'm gonna be stuck picking up trash in Rosewood." "Yeah, that'll be me, dodging "A" messages and wearing a big floppy hat to cover my bald spot." "Aria, you can turn a wait-list into an acceptance."

"She's actually leaving later today for a weekend away at Ballard College." "It's a big decision." "Looks like you've made one, too." "I'm guessing since you're faxing out your resumé." "Yeah." "I saw something that looked potentially interesting and I thought I should" "You leave and I'm stuck working with some stranger, someone who'll ask a lot of questions about my family." "I have a few about your sister myself." "Honestly, Jason, maybe you would be better off just starting fresh with someone new here." "I don't agree." "Is there anything I can say to get you to stay for one month?" "Just till I feel confident enough to say that I belong here and really believe it." "Hi." "Hey." "Can't talk right now." "Why?" "What's going on?" "Tanner issued another search behind Mona's house." "Tanner still thinks... that Mona's body is out there?" "( whispering ) I really got to go." "OFFICER:" "Cavanaugh?" "All clear." "What do you mean it's your knife?" "I recognized it as soon as I saw it." "It's my family's." "My dad popped the top off a jar with it when I was eight and broke the handle." "There's a chunk missing right in the center." "Yeah." "How do you know what this knife looks like?" "Because I've used it." "Many times." "It's from my family's cabin." "When I saw it, I froze." "A million things went through my head." "And for a moment I forgot I was a cop, so I didn't know what to do." "I just left it there." "Oh, my God." "I know I have to go back." "Of course, you do." "You have to go back and get it." "We have to get rid of it before anybody else finds it." "Wait, wait, wait." "Slow down." "That knife could be the murder weapon." "It's what we've been looking for." "It's what we need." "We?" "The police." "Toby, Alison said it herself, she wants us with her, behind bars." "She's already framed me once." "The knife is a plant." "You don't know that." "I want to turn it in." "If Alison stole that knife and used it, that could lock her away for good." "All we need is just one of her prints." "Right, but what if it has mine on it?" "Or Hanna's?" "Or yours?" "Yeah, that's a gamble, but" "But what?" "I'm not risking my neck so you can get a medal for this." "This is about doing the right thing." "There is no right thing." "There's only by-the-book or save-our-ass." "And I know which one I'm doing." "Don't, man." "Spencer?" "This is crazy." "I know you feel the same way I do." "I think that we shouldn't do anything." "We will promise not to touch it, if you promise to keep quiet." "You just want to leave it there?" "Fine." "Then that's what we'll do." "But no one can know that we had this conversation." "Of course." "Caleb, please." "Can I borrow your eye?" "Sure." "Tell me if this is slanted." "And don't lie to me."

"I'm sorry, Alison." "You'll have to call back another time." "Please don't make me do that again." "Saying no is not as hard as taking the call." "Have you seen her since" "Once." "I can't go back."

"Founding father Eustace Ballard laid the first brick of foundation himself." "I can show you a plaque carved in wood from Mr. Ballard's outhouse." "Okay." "Did I mention Ballard was also a minister?" "Yeah, you did." "Remember, and then I told you that my mom was dating one?" "Oh, right." "Cool beans." "Let me grab us a weekend calendar."

"And I don't want to sound desperate, but I just figured, you know, if they see, like, a hundred of these every day" "No, it's good, but" "What?" "You need to make it more personal." "Personal?" "What" " What do you want me to tell them?" "That I spent all of junior year being hunted down by "A"?" "Aria, that's" "Yeah, and I wanted to write this, like, 2 weeks earlier, but I was too busy being suffocated by a plastic sheet?" "You're spiraling again." "No, you can't spiral, Emily, if you've already crashed." "Talmadge was supposed to be my slam-dunk."

"Aria, that's not true." "There are many, many, many great colleges that you can apply to in the future." "No, I mean, I can write a better letter." "You could write The Grapes of Wrath, and it still wouldn't matter." "Talmadge recently hired Jackie Molina as an Admissions Officer." "Jackie?" "As in your ex Jackie, who hates my guts?" "You forgot to mention that she hates my guts even more." "Look, I know it hurts, but it's a temporary setback." "That's all." "Promise." "( knocking on door )" "Seriously?" "I mean, the shelf life on secrets around here has reached an all-time low." "I know." "I shouldn't have told her." "You could've at least warned me before I was carpet-bombed with angry texts."

"I can't get hauled away on suspicion of murder." "Again." ""Again"?" "Look, I'm sure that Hanna has told you some stuff about my past." "But there are things I haven't even told her." "What did you do?" "I hacked for some dudes in Allentown, some credit card number scam." "When one of them turned up dead, the other one pointed the finger at me." "I mean, I was easy to railroad." "I'd bailed from my foster home." "I was living on the streets." "What happened?" "One of the detectives saw that I was just some stupid kid who'd made some stupid decisions." "He got me released."
