Hanna: Whose idea was this, again?
Spencer: Emily's Mom.
Emily: The shed was me. My Mom just said we should do something for us.
Hanna: Well, couldn't we do something without mosquitoes?
Aria: They're not mosquitoes; they're gnats.
Hanna: Whatever! They're small and annoying, and they're flying up my nose.
Spencer: Well, they're attracted to your perfume and your hair product, and your lip gloss.
Hanna: So what are you saying, I attract flies?
Aria: Gnats.
Why do I feel like this is he wrong way?
Spencer: No, this is it. I remember that tree.
It's the halfway point.
There's 136 steps left to the shed.
Emily: Have you been out here since... Alison?
Spencer: Me? No. No.
Aria: But you remember that tree?
Hanna: You guys, it's not that weird.
We came out here in Eighth grade, like, every day even after.
Spencer: I think this is totally the wrong place to do this whatever you call this shrine.
Emily: It's not a shrine.
It's just a place to remember Alison.
What's wrong with that?
Doing it way out here makes it look like we have something to hide.
You're worried what other people think?
Well, aren't you?
Do you really want to give that creepy detective more reasons to question us?
Hanna, why are so quiet?
I'm trying to keep the bugs in my nose and out of my mouth.
You're allowed to have an opinion on this.
You want my opinion?
I say we hold of and not remember her till we know for sure she's not still here.
What?
What are you talking about?
You think she's still alive?
Spencer: Hanna, they found her body.
Stop. I'm officially scared, can we just not
You asked for my opinion.
I don't believe she's really gone.
We went to her funeral!
Yeah, and when we left we all got a text from her.
It wasn't her.
Someone is messing with us.
How do you know?
And what about all those nasty texts?
I mean, how does A person know stuff that only Ali knew?
Okay, this conversation is giving me a hive.
That's a bite.
Mosquito.
Spencer, have you gotten any more texts?
Haven't you?
(Rustling)
What was that?
Did you hear that?
Yes, I heard that.
I'm standing right next to you.
Hello?
Is anybody out there?
It's probably a rabbit.
Hello?
It's a rabbit, Hanna.
It's not gonna answer you.
Can we just get to the shed?
(Rustling)
Okay, that is definitely not a rabbit.
Someone's out there.
Let's turn around.
(Message alerts ring)

Byron: Well, you're really far into it.
Yeah, I've got like, 60-some pages left.
And I don't want it to end.You should read her biography next.
The father worship thing becomes a lot clearer.
Well, I would worship both of you a lot more... If you got me another one of these.
The poppy seed? We'll split it.

Hallway:

Good Morning.

Hi.

Russian History?

How many AP classes does it take.

Until your brain explodes?

I'm already drowning in there.

Why, what's drowning for you, B+?

First paper's due Monday, and I've written two words my name.

Well, what's going on?

Hey, you're not still freaked out about what happened in the woods yesterday?

Look, we do not have to do this thing for Ali until--

No, it's not just that it's--

It's everything.

Is there any chance your family wants to adopt me?

He's back, too?

When did that happen?

Maybe she needs help sending radioactive E-mails.

Yeah, or he may be sending a few of his own.

What are you doing?

Is that a new phone?

Yeah.

I'm checking my kik.

If she's not answering texts. What makes you think she's checking Facebook?

It's worth a try.

What's going on?

We've been to get ahold of you.

What happened in there?

Nothing, just the same old stupid questions.

You were in there for over a hour, Hanna.

What else did he ask?

Nothing.

He just took a couple calls, and I just sat there, waiting for him to shut up.

Well, is he gonna question all of us alone now?

Wo knows?

Look , let's do this at lunch, okay?

I have to hit the ladies before my next class.

Aria: Hey.

Ezra: Hey.

Ezra: Are you here to ask about the homework assignment?

Aria: Do you have plans this weekend?

Ezra: (chuckles) I'm thinking we should talk about the homework assignment.

Aria: So you do have plans?

Ezra: I don't.

Aria: Okay, Well, theres... this opening at the gallery where my mom works, and I promised I'd help out, so If your free...Do you think that's wise,. hanging woth your folks, a parent teacher confrence over free wine?

Okay, fine.

It's a bad idea.

What...

If we met up afterwards?

I could tell them I'm going to Noel Kahn's party.

(laughs)

You should go to the party.

Why... Would I want to do that?
