Season 1 Episode 8 Please, Do Talk about Me When I'm Gone

Aria: I was afraid she wouldn't get it done in time for the memorial.

Juliet: And this was someone from your mom's gallery?

Aria: Right.

Emily: Where is your mom?

Aria: There's an apartment above the gallery, so she's staying there. For now.

Hanna: That's kind of weird, isn't it? Your mom moving out.

Aria: Yeah, like my dad should have left. That's what you'd expect.

Spencer: Aria.

Aria: Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. The whole thing just sucks.

Hanna: I know.

Emily: Did anyone call Shelly Leonard?

Spencer: Done. And I told her if she plays anything depressing, I will kick in her cello.

Aria: What about the program?

Spencer: Almost done, but we should finish it Before Ali's brother gets here.

Juliet: oh, when is that?

Spencer: Tonight. And he wants to see us in the morning.

Hanna: You know what? I barely remember Jason.

Aria: We didn't know him. He was just Ali's older brother down the hall.

Spencer: Behind a closed door.

Emily: With his hardcore punk music vibrating the floorboards.

Juliet: Erm he had nice hair

Aria: How did he get into an Ivy league school?

Spencer: I don't know. It must have been affirmative action for goths and emos.

Aria: Wow. It's beautiful.

Spencer: Pedestal's already out there, next to the bench. This goes up Friday morning.

Juliet: Do you think Jason will like it?

Hanna: Of course he'll like it.

Aria: And years from now, people are gonna see this memorial, and and that's all they'll ever know about Ali. She'll be the girl that they dedicated the bench to.

Emily: And we'll all be gone, but Ali will still be remembered.

Spencer: That's immortality, my darlings.

[Flash back]

Aria: I wish we could just choose the age that we wanted to be and just stay there.

Alison: The only way to do that is to die young, leave a beautiful corpse.

Emily: Don't joke.

Alison: It's not a joke. Oh, come on. Haven't you guys ever thought about how deliciously tragic it would be to die in some incredibly mysterious way? That would be superior.

Spencer: Is that really how you want to go, Alison?

Alison: Not just yet.

Juliet: Don't talk like that.

Hanna: It's gruesome.

Alison: It's not gruesome. It's immortality, my darlings.

[Flash back Finish]

Aria: Where did she get that from? A movie?

Spencer: Ali was a movie.

[Later that night]

Jason: You've done a great job. Really. Mom and dad and I are really grateful. There she is!

Hanna: Jason! Hey. Sorry I'm late.

Jason: No problem. I was just saying you've done some lovely work on the memorial. I might have done one or two things differently, but we can adjust that along the way. Here's a copy of the program for the dedication.

Spencer: I e-mailed you the program that we worked up. Right. I saw the draft. This just fine-tunes it. Uh, let's see If Shelly Leonard's gonna play something, I don't think we can give her more than three minutes. I remember she's somewhat of a showboat with that cello.

Then, uh Oh. Is this the picture for the program?

Emily: Yes. It's everybody's favorite.

Jason: It's the one I would have picked. I thought I was gonna be able to get my whole family out here, but You know, at the last minute, my mom, um It's crazy talking about this, isn't it? When I think about her, I-I think about you the five of you, in her bedroom, laughing, keeping secrets. Long time ago. I want each of you to speak. I'd rather hear from you than Mrs.Slocomb from the PTA.

Spencer: The PTA was a lot of help.

Jason: What about the rain?

Spencer: The rain?

Jason: Forty percent chance before the weekend.

Spencer: Oh, um, they said that we can use the school's multipurpose room if we have to move the ceremony inside.

Jason: Great. People think this dedication is about closure. There won't be closure until they find out who did this to Alison. The cops in this town have been jerking my family around for more than a year. No more of that. I'm here to get some action, and this memorial is gonna help me get it. Oh, and I'm adding One speaker to the program.

Emily: Jenna Marshall?

Juliet: You want Jenna to speak at the dedication?

Jason: That's right.

Aria: Why?

Jason: She asked me if she could.

Emily: Jenna asked to speak?

Jason: Is there a problem?

Spencer: I-it just didn't occur to us that Alison and Jenna were that close.

Jason: Yeah, I didn't know either. Jenna called and said my sister was a lot of help to her after her accident. Well, concentrate on what you're gonna say. Leave the rest of it to me. Now, I'm going to have a talk with Detective Wilden and find out why they haven't located Toby yet.

Hanna: Did we just get fired?

Aria: Shh! Keep it down!

Emily: Why is he talking to Jenna?

Aria: I don't know.

Emily: What does she have to say?

Aria: This is turning into a nightmare.

Hanna: What else did he say? Nothing.

Spencer: He just kept smiling like he was running for office.

Aria: Spence, why does Jenna want to speak at the dedication?

Juliet: Why does Jason want her there? I mean, he clearly knows they weren't friends.

Emily: We can't let Jenna speak.

Aria: Well, how are we gonna stop her without looking like bitches?

Spencer: How are we going to stop her at all? In case you guys didn't notice, we just got patted on the head and sent off to play.

Hanna: You know what? You need to stay on top of him. Find out what's going on.

Spencer: Why me?

Hanna: Because you're the big organizer. You've got the laptop of all knowledge, and he's gonna need some of that.

Juliet: I’ll help you spence.

Emily: Jenna could get up there, she could tell about the fire and Toby. She could tell about everything.

[In school]

Juliet gets a text that reads

I wanna see you  – Jason

Juliet smiles at her phone & walks to class.

[Flash back]

Alison: God, Jenna the jerk is looking at us.

Juliet: It's a very second-string crowd she's with.

Alison: Why doesn't she just take her "D"-list gang and go home instead of sitting here and creeping me out?

Emily: Jenna's here. Where's Toby?

Alison: Out in the woods, sacrificing squirrels.

Spencer: God. Don't you ever get tired of shooting at the low-hanging fruit?

Alison: Don't ruin a perfect day, Spencer.

Aria: It is perfect.

Emily: Friends forever.

Spencer: Yeah. Even when we get really old.

Alison: Well, well, well. Something new has been added. Noel Kahn inspecting the troops. You know, you really shouldn't go out so soon after a boob job. Let them drop down to where they're supposed to be before you take 'em out.

Emily: Prudence Finn had a boob job?

Alison: She had to do something to compensate for being named Prudence. Thinking about it, Aria?

Aria: Thinking about what?

Alison: Doing something like that to get Noel's attention. Oh & Juliet don’t steal him he is Aria’s

Juliet: I wasn’t going to

Alison: sure you wasn’t.

Aria: And No.

Alison: Aria likes them brainy.

Hanna: Cute, rich, and brainy. You get the whole package with Noel Kahn.

Alison: You know, personally, I like someone with a little more maturity. Not that Noel doesn't have potential. He just lacks a little seasoning. Perfect for you Aria, don't be too coy.

Alison: Creepazoid alert. Hey, hermie, you got a camera on that thing? Making das booty or something?

Lucas: No. My rudder got stuck.

Alison: Oh. I bet it did. Go frighten the fish.

Hanna: Hey!

Alison: Hey what?

Hanna: Nothing.

Alison: Never look back, Hanna. Something might be gaining on you. Next.

[Flash back finish]

[In School hall way]

Jason: Well, that was painless.

Spencer: Not for principal hartman.

Jason: He means well, but he needs to know who's in charge.

Spencer: I think we all know that.

Jason: Okay, is there a problem?

Emily: There's no problem. You're Alison's brother. You should have the final say. But you're not the only one dealing with this.

Jason: See, there's that closed door again the secrets of the girls cuddled up in Alison's bedroom. Do you think that means you knew her better than I did?

Emily: No. It just means we knew her in a different way.

Cops: Right here.

Juliet: What are they doing?

Spencer: That's Toby's locker.

Jason: Detective wilden.

Wilden: You'll find this interesting. We're having a look in Toby Cavanaugh's locker.

Jason: Why? Do you think he's hiding in there?

Wilden: He's a suspect.

Jason: Well, your investigation better turn up more than Toby Cavanaugh's old gym socks.

Wilden: You made it quite clear the other day you weren't happy with the pace of the investigation. You said you wanted action. I'm trying to give that to you.

Jason: Yeah, you've got nothing. I realized that yesterday.

Wilden: Sometimes, Jason, we withhold information on the progress of an investigation to avoid any interruptions.

Jason: The only reason you're tearing this kid's locker apart is because he's not around to object.

Wilden: Toby Cavanaugh called your sister's cell phone the night she disappeared. I checked the phone records. She took the call.

Emily: Toby called Alison the night she died?

Wilden: He did. Or somebody else did using his phone.

[Flash back]

Alison: There go Noel and Prudence off to the kissing rock. People have been sneaking off to the kissing rock for hundreds of years.

Emily: You're making that up.

Alison: Just because I make it up doesn't mean it's not true. You go there with somebody, and you can feel the ghosts of the other lovers spying on you, pushing you to do it. You know, you should never disappoint a ghost.

Emily: It's just a dusty old rock.

Alison: who do you want to take there?

[Flash back finish]

[Spencer’s house]

Juliet sees Jason

Juliet: hi, where's spencer?

Jason: she just went out she’ll be here soon

Juliet: okay

Jason: so you didn’t reply back to my text

Juliet: I didn’t know what to say

Jason: Maybe you can say what you want tonight?

Jason goes behind Juliet touching her arms & whispers

Jason: cause I really missed you

[Flash back]

Aria: who do you like Juliet?

Juliet: I don’t really know, these guys seem immature to me

Alison: yeah you like older guys don’t you Juliet, the kind that are related to you friends

Emily: what are you talking about?

Alison: Juliet loves danger, that’s what a DiLarentis loves about her

Spencer: what do you mean?

Alison: I mean that’s what I love about her silly

[Flash back finish]

Juliet: no stop, Spencer will be here soon so lets just do what we came here for

Jason: yeah maybe later then

Juliet: yeah maybe.

[Spencer comes in & they start working]

Spencer: You were right about the weather. Rain's starting at midnight, continuing throughout the day.

Jason: I wish this was gonna be outside, in the sun.

Spencer: Are you satisfied? Yeah.

Jason: How 'bout you?

Spencer: I'll just be glad when this is over.

Jason: Are we talking about the dedication or finding out what happened to Ali? Both, I guess. The dedication will be fine, thanks to you two. And I lit a fire under the cops.

Spencer: Did you know that Toby called Alison?

Jason: No. Wilden shouldn't have told me, but he was easy to shake up. Spencer, you were the only one who ever really challenged Alison. I remember hearing the two of you getting in each other's grills a couple of times. Kept waiting for the catfight, but never happened.

Juliet: Who do you think killed Alison?

Jason: The police like Toby Cavanaugh. If they can't find him, they'll start liking someone else.

Spencer: Just someone, or someone in particular?

Jason: Does it really matter?

Spencer: I thought you said you wanted closure.

Jason: My mom still needs pills to get to sleep. When they don't work, you can hear her walking around the house at three in the morning. You think you're ever really gonna have closure? I mean, aren't you always going to be "the friend of that girl who was murdered"?

Juliet: Just like you'll always be her brother?

Jason: That's how people will see us. They solve it or they don't.

That's not going to change, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Spencer: but what about justice

Jason: You don't really want to bring justice into this, do you?

Spencer: Why not?

Jason: Alison told me about the fire. About how you Spencer said the five of you should all go over and teach Toby a lesson. How you got the stink bomb and convinced the rest of the girls to back you up.

How you even threatened Toby if he told the truth.

Spencer: Alison told you that?

Jason: Yes, she did.

Spencer: Did you believe her? You are just like Alison, aren't you?

Jason: In some ways, even worse.

[Jason Leaves]

[All the girls are in Spencer’s house]

Hanna: Wait, so she tried to pin it on you?

Spencer: That's what she told Jason.

Emily: But why you?

Aria: Because Spencer could stand up to her, and Alison didn't like that.

Hanna: God, this is officially insane!

Emily: Is that what she told Jenna when she was at the hospital?

Juliet: We don't know.

Spencer: I mean, I don't think so, but I don't know.

Aria: Okay, so so one minute, she's trying to cover it up and the next she's ratting us out to her brother?

Emily: Like she wanted Jason to know the fake story in case anything happened to her.

Hanna: Why?

Spencer: So they'd know who to blame.

Aria: God! This is still Alison's movie, and we are just filling up the screen.

[At the church]

Aria: Ian?

Hanna: Wait Melissa's Ian?

Spencer: Um I can't remember not knowing Alison Not having her as a friend. She was the first person I knew long enough that I felt I could be angry with without worrying that I was gonna lose her. It made me feel like something was gonna last, and you need that, especially when you're a kid.

Hanna: Friends can be hard on you. Maybe they expect more from you than strangers. Strangers pretty much see you the way you want them to see you, but you can't fool friends. That's what makes them friends.

Emily: That corner of the park is going to be a safe place where you can go and sit, read a book, and just think. You should think about Alison while you're there. She'd want to make sure you didn't forget about her.

Aria: You do something like this a memorial partly because you don't understand what's happened. So, you you plant flowers and you paint tiles, and somewhere in the middle of all that work, you stop crying. I guess that's the point.

Juliet: She would have liked that you were all here. She would have liked the attention. No, actually, she would have loved the attention. It would have made her laugh. And Alison laughing that was amazing.

Alison: We think we know who we are, but we don't. Not until something bad happens to us, and then all the useless things fall away, and we're left with who we really are. I learnt that from Alison Dilaurentis. My whole life, I thought I knew who she was, but I found out the truth when she came and talked to me at the hospital. I found out that she was the strongest person that I had ever met. And it's her strength that touched so many people. Shaped them. That's her real legacy. That's how her memory will endure, in the actions of those she inspired in so many different ways. From all of us thank you, Alison.

[Spencer’s house]

Hanna: I need sugar.

Juliet: Me too.

Spencer: I'm buying.

Jason: That was my folks. They say thanks. So do I.

Emily: You're welcome.

Jason: And I want you girls to have something. The police returned this to my family. I think you should have it.

Emily: The police gave that to you?

Jason: Alison was wearing it.

Hanna: You mean when they found her? After listening today, I just thought you should have it.

Jason: I'll be in touch.

Emily: If that's Alison's bracelet, what about the one we found in the woods?

Aria: I-I don't know.

Hanna: Someone made a copy of Alison's bracelet.

Spencer: Yeah, and made sure that we would find it.

[Hotel room]

Juliet knocks on the door.

Jason opens the door.

Juliet walks in.

Jason closes the door.

Love

Rumilla
