The Top 10 Alison Lines [From Pretty Little Liars]


Alison DiLaurentis. If there's trouble afoot, you can almost guarantee that Alison's involved somehow. Throughout the six seasons Ali has been a prominent feature, and this 'mean girl' knows how to leave a lasting impression. Starting off as Queen Bee who is pretty darn nasty to her so called 'friends', Alison ruled the roost until Mona came along and kicked her abruptly off her spot. Switching from city to city, but never quite venturing far from Rosewood, Alison has had a few personality changes, seemingly abandoning her meaner side for a more sensitive, guilt-ridden one. After all her wrong-doing, Alison seems to regret her past and her interactions with others, but as hard as she tries, she can never really shed that persona that people remember. Things look pretty sticky for the unfortunate Ali in the Seventh Season, and it begs the question as to whether Ali can redeem herself and live a peaceful life - or if her ending will be abrupt (sorry Emison fans). Whatever the case, it's sure to be explosive - and her fierce nature has given her some real classic, immortal lines over the years. You can check out the other editions of this particular 'Top 10' series, here: Hanna Marin // Spencer Hastings // Aria Montgomery // Emily Fields // Mona Vanderwaal.



10: Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf

Seriously, when Alison wants to, she can be a real creep. As clever as this line is, damn, I would not want to be walking down an alley late at night with her around. But let's face it, this early Ali rarely did anything for her 'friends' and more for 'herself', but at least now it's a bit mixed. We never can quite tell whose side she's actually on... [Episode 1x12]


9: The Rules of Slender

Everyone knows you never look behind you as quite clearly, there's going to be some sort of mythological creature that's poised to attack you - and if you don't look, it's like it never caught up with you! Ahhh, the blissful land of ignorance. In this case, the mythological creature is A in a red trench coat or black hoodie. You know, whatever's more appropriate for the weather. [Episode 1x08]


8: Who does?

Well, she's got us there. We have no clue who Alison really is and what type of person she is underneath all the snark and manipulation, but um...maybe she's just a good person? We'll leave that one up to you. The irony of this quote is tops, though. A+ for effort. [Episode 4x24]


7: The Old Removable Floorboard Trick

Seriously though, it's always in the creaky floorboard. Or the secret door. Or, if you live in Rosewood, you could just jack-hammer your way through a wall in a remodelled asylum-turned-hotel. Because that works too. Thanks for the idea PLL! [Episode 2x02]


6: Always

Come on, we've all been there. Sometimes you just get those days where you really just don't wanna be 'yourself' and want to live as someone else. And this is certainly the case for Alison, whose alias Vivian Darkbloom confused everyone in the mid seasons. But hey, she's rocking that brunette look. We're tempted to go out and get ourselves a fancy new wig. Because, reasons. [Episode 2x18]


5: A GAme With Multiple Players

One of the few quotes you can really get behind, Ali was bang on point when she uttered this line in Season 2, and it's only gotten more messed up since then. Season 1 & 2 were all fun and games, but from Season 3 onwards it's more like death and destruction. Garrett, Wilden, Jessica, Charlotte, (sort of) Mona - these latter seasons were not messing around. Do they do mass funerals? [Episode 2x24]


4: Alternate Rosewood? We can't imagine 

Ahhh, let's just sit back and imagine what life could have been like in Rosewood if Ali had just been nice to 'Loser Mona' from the get-go. We'd never have the initial A, which means Uber A may never have come to fruition and perhaps we wouldn't have had Big A? Who knows. There's so many A's now, it's difficult to keep track. Well, there would certainly be a higher population, that's for sure. [Episode 4x16]


3: CAndy Stripers

While we're pretty sure lying is what got everyone into this whole big ball of mess in the first place, Ali's commitment to really good lies does have some validity - but it's knowing when to lie that counts in Rosewood. You don't wanna just go wasting them like limited wishes because then when you need to use one, there not gonna be there anymore. Lessons learned people. Side Note: This Candy Striper malarky is like something out of a horror film - I'm picturing big needles and bloody rotten faces - think Walking Dead meets Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. [Episode 1x11]


2: The One Line You'll Remember For Life (And Death)

OK, let's be real - was there any doubt that this would be our golden number 2 line? By far one of the most memorable - and quotable - lines from the entire season HAS to make its way to number 2 for the sheer superiority of it. But hey, immortality isn't everything, as Alison herself has quite dutifully proven. [Episode 1x08]


1: Better Lock it in Your Pocket, Taking This One to the Grave

Taking cue from the novel of its basis, and indeed The Pierces' song, this iconic quote finally found its way into a flashback episode in Season 2 and we couldn't be happier. Everyone get on your best funeral garb and lets all act out the opening sequence together. Ready now? *Got a secret...* [Episode 2x12]


This concludes our PLL Special of Top 10 (Lines Edition), and who better to round it all off than Alison herself? Feel free to check out the other instalments above, and remember to always block anonymous texts. Or, y'know, don't piss so many people off and lie about things. One or the other. But hey, we wouldn't have PLL if everyone told the truth. So um...silver linings? Stay awesome, bitches. -A.
