Pilot [1.01]

Alison: Friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close.

[Later]

Hanna: Where's Ali and Spencer?

Aria: We don't know.

[Spencer approaches.]

Aria: Ali?

Spencer: She's gone.

Aria: What do you mean, she's gone?

Spencer: I've looked everywhere for her. I think I heard her scream.

[One Year Later]

Spencer: Did you see the paper today?

Hanna: Yeah.

Spencer: She's gone, but she's everywhere.

[Ezra sees Aria, whom he'd met the day before and thought was a college student, sitting in his high school English class.]

Ezra: Holy crap!

[Later]

Ezra: You told me you went to Hollis.

Aria: No, I said I was thinking about majoring in English, and that's true.

Ezra: Look, I think you're amazing, Aria. When I first met you, I thought, "Who is this girl?"

Aria: I'm still that girl. Nothing's changed.

Ezra: Yes. Yes, it has. I'm your teacher...It's not right. We just can't.

Spencer: Well, you know what they say about hope. Breeds eternal misery.

Maya: They found your friend...

Emily: I knew she'd come back. Is she inside?

Maya: Emily. I'm sorry. They found Alison's body.

The Jenna Thing [1.02]

Emily: If a Hastings has a shot, she takes a shot.

Maya: Is that a drinking game?

Spencer: Yeah, it should be!

Aria: [referring to Detective Wilden, who has questioned the girls] He knows we're lying.

Hanna: Lying is not a crime.

Spencer: It is when you're giving false statements to the police. It's called obstruction of justice.

Spencer: I've decided on the class I want to take at Hollis. But it's not for credit, Dad, it's for fun.

Peter Hastings: What's the point of that?

Maya: So, I get your connection to Spencer. You both like to win.

Emily: Winning's great, but if I've done my best, I usually feel good about the outcome, no matter what it is.

Maya: And Spencer?

Emily: Spencer needs to win.

Wren: You know, I didn't grow up in a family like yours, so I don't know that kind of pressure, but I can imagine it could be unbearable at times.

Spencer: Well, you're not exactly a slouch, Mr. Oxford. I mean, that drive had to come from somewhere.

Wren: Yeah. It came from me. My life has been my choice.

Spencer: Well, you're lucky.

To Kill a Mocking Girl [1.03]

Spencer: It's probably just a rabbit.

Hanna: Hello?

Spencer: It's a rabbit, Hanna. It's not gonna answer you.

Hanna: God, it was one pair of sunglasses, and they were last season's!...Mom, you don't have to do this.

Ashley: Do what?

Hanna: Squeeze his grapefruit.

Jenna: Whisper, whisper, whisper. It's almost like Alison is still here.

Mona: [putting on lipstick] Ah! Totally love this color. You should've stocked up on a few more tubes.

Hanna: Well, I only have two hands. Keep it.

Mona: Why? Is your mom asking to see receipts?

Aria: What are you doing here? Did you forget what we talked about?

Meredith: You talked. I listened.

Aria: What didn't you understand? You need to leave now.

Meredith: Listen, sweetie, I'm not in high school. You don't have any say in this.

Can You Hear Me Now? [1.04]

Aria: I saw you riding around town the other day...on your bike.

Ezra: Yeah, I saw you too. I waved, remember? I would have stopped, but you weren't alone.

Aria: Yeah. My friends thought you had nice legs.

Ezra: What do you think?

Aria: That I was embarrassed that my friends thought you had nice legs.

Aria: Maybe this isn't smart.

Ezra: I promise you it's not smart.

Emily: [as Toby is assigned a seat in Chem Lab] Oh, please, no. Not here. Oh, please, oh, please, oh, please.

Toby: So, I guess we're lab partners. You okay with that?

Emily: Sure.

Ezra: I'm sorry, Mr. Sperling. Do you have something to add to the discussion, aside from phlegm?

Wren: Your face is very fair.

Spencer: How about some black coffee?

Wren: I've been drinking scotch. I'd rather not mix my beverages.

Reality Bites Me [1.05]

Aria: [about her father's affair] Ali said I should have told my mom right after it happened.

Emily: Ali? Alison knew?

Aria: Yeah, she was with me.

Spencer: So, Alison saw this Meredith person?

Hanna: Meredith? Her name is Meredith. Ew. That's not even a cute girl name. I'm seeing big pores and mousy roots.

Spencer: Hanna, I think it's a little too soon to joke.

Hanna: I'm sorry, but if you're going to cheat, you might as well do it with somebody who deep-conditions her hair occasionally.

Spencer: Here [passing Hanna a bagel], put something in your mouth besides your foot.

Hanna: ...I think working in a dentist office will help me with my fear.

Sean: Scared of dentists?

Hanna: Children. Your mom is making me hand out sugar-free lollipops to six-year-olds. They don't bite at that age, do they?

Spencer: [to Emily, about Toby] Do you want to ask what your lab partner was doing last night? You know, maybe he took a break from sitting on his porch pulling the heads off squirrels.

Hardy: [about Aria] Dude, you are so screwed.

Ezra: It - it's not what you think it is. Don't give me that look. I didn't pursue this, it just happened.

Hardy: And that makes it okay?

Ezra: Hardy -

Hardy: Ezra, she's cute, she's smart, I get it, there's no argument. But she's your student, man.

Ezra: That's not how I met her.

Hardy: It doesn't matter. When this is all over, she's gonna get her diploma. You're going to get a pink slip and an orange jumpsuit.

Ezra: Who's "A"?

[Aria looks at the message on her phone: "Lucky you, Aria! Other girls have to do their homework. You get to do the teacher...--A"]

Aria: I don't know.

Ezra: How many of your friends did you tell?

Aria: I didn't -

Ezra: 'Cause if "A" knows, I'm thinking "B" and "C" and everybody else does too.

There's No Place Like Homecoming [1.06]

Lucas: [paired with Hanna in a Celibacy Club improv] ...I'm really more comfortable in an observational role during sexercise...Girls like her don't approach guys like me unless they have deep-seated self-esteem issues and a serious drinking problem...I don't need to know how to rebuff the advances of a genetic splice between Barbie and Shakira...It's just never going to happen.

Maya: Dance music isn't really my thing. I'm not really gaga for Gaga.

Mona: Hey, Han! Spencer. So, is it true you're taking the country club's towel boy to Homecoming?

Spencer: His name is Alex. And yes, I am.

Hanna: Knock it off, Mona.

Mona: What? I think it's cute she's taking her Cinderfella to the ball.

Hanna: Can you get me fro-yo, with sprinkles? [Mona leaves.]

Spencer: Wow, that was exactly the reaction I want to avoid.

Hanna: Don't pay any attention to her. She's just insecure.

Spencer: Yeah, like a pit bull.

Mona: If you and I start slipping up, we're going to be right back at the bottom again.

Hanna: Yeah. Well, I'm starting to think I've lost a few things on the climb up.

Emily: I told you I needed space.

Maya: Yeah, and I'm giving you space - to come to grips with who you are, not to hide it.

The Homecoming Hangover [1.07]

[The girls are searching for Emily at the Homecoming dance.]

Spencer: Why don't we split up?

Hanna: Why don't we not.

Aria: Hanna, you can come with me.

Spencer: Why do I have to go alone?

Aria: Fine! We'll split up together.

Hanna: Look, I have already gotten busted for stealing sunglasses and my boyfriend's car.

Spencer: Wait, you stole sunglasses? From who?

Hanna: Not from a person, from a store. God, I have some class.

Spencer: Hey, are you taking something for the pain?

Emily: Yeah, but nothing that dulls my mother.

Hanna: I got a message you wanted to see me.

Lucas: From the universe?

Lucas: Sorry.

Hanna: For what?

Lucas: I didn't mean to, like, you know, invade your personal...skin.

Hanna: It's okay. The leprosy cleared up.

Please, Do Talk About Me When I'm Gone [1.08]

Ashley: ...this is a one-paycheck family, and we can't live a two-paycheck life.

Hanna: [to Sean] I cannot believe you just said "cooties." You're such a goober.

Jenna: [to Spencer] You and your friends are careless. Like I told Emily, you're careless and you break things, and you think you're never going to have to pay for them.

The Perfect Storm [1.09]

Hanna: Spencer, you do not need to know any more big words. You're already scary enough to anyone under fifty.

Spencer: I'm not scary! Am I scary?

Aria: A little.

Aria: Can we just drop it, please? I'm not looking for anything more than a friend.

Hanna: Why? Don't you have enough on Facebook? Besides, don't you want someone real, someone you can, I don't know, scratch and sniff?

Veronica Hastings: Hi girls. Oh, what smells so good?

Spencer: Garlic bread. Want some?

Veronica Hastings: I can't. God, I miss food. Eat some butter for me, will you?

Veronica Hastings: Spencer, our family doesn't handle imperfection very well.

Keep Your Friends Close [1.10]

Hanna: Okay, I need to ask you guys something, and I need you to be totally honest with me...Is this side of my face fatter than this side?

Spencer: I don't know when this war between us got started, Melissa, but can't it just be over? I'm only sixteen, and I'm tired.

Spencer: I feel like the poster child for poor judgement.

Spencer: I think we're supposed to go to where we found Ali's bracelet.

Aria: That was in the middle of nowhere.

Spencer: Actually, it was fifteen steps east of the half-point tree, which is 136 steps from the main road.

Aria: You're a freak, and I love you.

Moments Later [1.11]

Mona: Oh, that cast! That's - that's, like, for a broken leg. That won't keep you from wearing heels, will it?

Hanna: Just for a little bit.

Spencer: Ali may have done some psycho things, but she would never do anything tacky.

Aria: We have to be really careful

Ezra: I've been careful. Remember, careful made you unhappy.

Aria: You don't make me unhappy! You totally mess me up, and I feel miserable sometimes, but you don't make me unhappy.

Emily: I'm not afraid of Toby.

Wayne Fields: You're afraid of something. I can see it in your eyes. Now, what is it?

Emily: I'm afraid of you and Mom.

Wayne Fields: Why are you afraid of us?

Emily: Because I'm not who you think I am.

Wayne Fields: You're Emily Fields, my little girl...

Emily: It's not that simple.

Wayne Fields: Emmy -

Emily: I'm gay. I'm gay.

Spencer: [about Aria and Ezra's relationship] Part of me thinks this is really self-destructive behavior, but most of me just thinks it's really hot.

Salt Meets Wound [1.12]

Aria: [about replacing the sticker on Hanna's cast] This time, why don't you try something mellower, like 'Save the Planet?'

Spencer: Hey, there were not a lot of choices okay? It was either Humpty Dumpty or 'Jesus is coming, look busy.'

[In a flashback]

Alison: I only kill when we need food...and when I'm bored.

Hanna: Did you get my emails?

Lucas: Yeah, I got 'em.

Hanna: Well, you know, I'm behind in every class, so if you want to study together...

Lucas: I'm kind of off studying at the moment. Been there, done that. This semester I plan to go from honor roll to toilet roll.

Maya: I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep last night. I was way too nervous.

Emily: About dinner? Because when I saw you at school, you were totally all right.

Maya: One of us had to hold it together. You were one buckle short of a straitjacket.

Emily: Tonight meant a lot to me. Thank you. Maya had a great time.

Pam Fields: Your father thinks she's very sweet.

Emily: She is. And I'm glad you're okay with it.

Pam Fields: I'm not okay with it. The whole thing makes me sick. Sick to my stomach.

Emily: Well, it can get really abstract.

Spencer: Yeah, but that's I liked about it. X's, Y's, Z's-- none of it real. And I could deal with that. Just... Isolate the X factor. And now I feel like I'm the X factor...
