00:00:00I've always described the world in words people moments places all through
00:00:09metaphors and margins okay like my mom self-made stubborn and never wrong
00:00:18almost there you excited for your first day she calls this a fresh start I call
00:00:23it terrifying
00:00:30you've got this just be yourself that's kind of the problem
00:00:53okay morning class and you're not seated because I don't have a seat ah a new
00:01:16transfer Alice Keaton right let's see there's a spot next to Charles seriously
00:01:27the charity case sitting next to Charles quiet Charles I've always had words for
00:01:38everything but in that moment I forgot them all
00:01:53Charles move your things I'd rather not she'll be a distraction from what
00:02:00sleeping from everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive
00:02:05influence on you she was top of her class at a previous school with all due
00:02:10respect sir her previous school was American I highly doubt that that's
00:02:18enough she can sit here it's fine back to Goldie thank you you got it I'm
00:02:28Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very important that we look at what he's
00:02:33talking about their experience of the time
00:02:39wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it
00:02:45don't take it personally he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is
00:02:50getting into his pants what he's hot everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're
00:03:00joking I don't find bullies attractive hey be careful we're talking about the king of
00:03:05Ashford the what his family basically own the school and the town maybe even the
00:03:12country yeah everyone's tried to get close no one can get past his ego you're not the
00:03:17first to get nice okay first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual
00:03:23decision and second I think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you
00:03:29really look at Charles he just seems isolated like he's making out honestly I
00:03:34just think he's lonely and kind of what
00:03:41you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic
00:03:51next time read the room before opening your mouth American we're not in Kansas anymore Alice

00:06:01what is wrong with you funny I was about to ask you the same thing what are you doing in my house
00:06:10you wait your house my house my library and now apparently my unwanted guest
00:06:21ah master Charles you must be miss Alice Anne's daughter she said you'd be moving in today
00:06:27she what there there's been some kind of misunderstanding you see I'm not actually moving in
00:06:34that so yeah I'm not staying here like at all that's a shame you must seem quite pleased with the
00:06:41arrangement well I just don't think it's appropriate well for sure then absolutely not
00:06:47come on Alice you must stay it'll be fun my dear classmate
00:07:00I'm dead like mentally socially and actually dead
00:07:06just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails get it together Alice Keaton
00:07:19you've been I'm sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around actually no
00:07:25be the thing I need they all just let this is how baby you saved me good morning
00:07:32so is that miss Keaton what thing doesn't know that stops been closed for months she's going to be late
00:07:53okay how long is this thing gonna take maybe I'll just walk five miles to school
00:08:06okay if I sprint maybe I'll make it before first period or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:14what are you doing here didn't you already leave wait did you come back for me relax I forgot my
00:08:33textbook don't flatter yourself wait since you're already here maybe you could be a decent person and
00:08:44give me a ride no seriously your car is huge yeah and I'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who
00:08:57forced me to live in his house unbelievable
00:09:14Ashford Institute please thank you
00:09:16who needs that entitled brat anyway sir you called the cab why don't just give miss Keaton a lift
00:09:26why don't just give miss Keaton a lift and have the whole school go crazy she's new everybody's
00:09:38already talking so you're worried about her you're overthinking I just don't like drama
00:09:44asshole hey morning class back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:00Mr Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing not particularly oh I insist you seem very entertained by
00:10:13Golding I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary I think his ending is weak wait wait
00:10:24you've actually read it quiet that's an interesting take explain
00:10:33he had the setup for something brutal something honest in the end he backed out he could have left
00:10:39the boys on the island forced them to confront the collapse of all morality let them choose survival
00:10:45or death but instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:54it's a waste don't you think I'm delightfully surprised Charles didn't think you had such
00:11:01strong literary opinions I'm always a model student sir let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:09so a critique of Golding's mercy anyone disagree
00:11:24I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:33it's not mercy it's irony how so
00:11:39the rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:44Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:48that's an interesting take Miss Keaton you still think it's a harsh critique in some ways but not
00:11:55harsh enough yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding sympathize with them and the
00:12:03civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much so yeah I don't think Golding pushed
00:12:09far enough but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:17thank you Miss Keaton well said anyone else
00:12:23both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic
00:12:27Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:30good literature will always divide opinion what's happening to me
00:12:43okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me
00:12:47well you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:12:50a what now you two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's teen in years
00:12:56we're not even fighting well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one
00:13:00got rejected begged to sit next to him got rejected again and today in class you broke down crying about
00:13:07not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears you were there sherry that is not what happened
00:13:17doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want Charles to be flawless untouchable
00:13:24wow is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a british specialty honestly both
00:13:30but seriously Alice some people already see you as a threat
00:13:42okay loaded looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:13:53hello hello is somebody out there oh come on
00:14:18hello is somebody out there oh come on
00:14:24fine
00:14:38seriously
00:14:39Oh, shit.
00:14:47What the hell?
00:14:49Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:14:52She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:14:59Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:03Shit.
00:15:14Ice! Alice!
00:15:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here. I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:21She hasn't come home. I'll have it sent over.
00:15:24Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:30Ice!
00:15:33Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine. We're fine.
00:15:51We're fine.
00:15:52We're fine.
00:15:57Hey.
00:15:58Hey, Mr. Noncelon. Are you happy with how we ended? Is it warm enough?
00:16:10Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:16:17Are you happy with how we end it?
00:16:24What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:31Okay.
00:16:40You're welcome.
00:16:42I didn't say thank you.
00:16:44I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:16:47Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:53Wow.
00:16:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:16:59I wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:17:03I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:10Are you okay?
00:17:12No, but I will be.
00:17:15Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:19Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:17:21You shouldn't have to.
00:17:25I'm...
00:17:26Sorry.
00:17:33Sorry.
00:17:35Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:42Don't get used to it.
00:17:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:47Alice?
00:17:48Over here.
00:17:49I can't.
00:17:52You okay?
00:17:55Why are you drenched?
00:17:56Yeah, I just took a weird shower. Top exploded.
00:18:00Come on. Let's get you home.
00:18:03Alice's cheating, right?
00:18:15I heard she staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:19I know how this place works. If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:36I'll look into it.
00:18:50Charles.
00:18:52Good on you.
00:18:53How many here would speak up?
00:18:57I can't believe someone actually locked you in, that's insane!
00:19:00I can't believe someone actually locked you in, that's insane!
00:19:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:07Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:19:10Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:30Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition,
00:19:41and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:45Hey, we miss you in Paris!
00:19:48Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:51But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:19:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:02Have fun!
00:20:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to Mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:16So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:25Uh, what are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:42Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:44It's comfortable.
00:20:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:48This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:50And this is not even your house, and yet you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:54Just don't, look, go away!
00:20:57Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:00What do you guys call it? Um, buzzkill? Cockblock.
00:21:05You're insufferable.
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:09You know what? I don't get it. Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:12I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing.
00:21:14Why do you think?
00:21:16How would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:25Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:21:31Or Tiziana, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:35Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:41Next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:47The final stop, Hari. The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:53And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:00That's...word for word.
00:22:03I told you. I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:22:07Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice.
00:22:15Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you.
00:22:24Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27Well, that's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:30One word of advice? Shut up.
00:22:32That's two words.
00:22:35You're weird.
00:22:36You're loud. You're annoying.
00:22:37You're in my kitchen.
00:22:38You have three other kitchens.
00:22:39And I prefer this one.
00:22:41Just for today.
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:44Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:46You didn't have to come.
00:22:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:57After Charles, roads are flooded.
00:22:59Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:00Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:05I've got it sorted.
00:23:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:20Relax.
00:23:21I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:24What deal?
00:23:25You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:30You'll survive.
00:23:32I'm not selling my body.
00:23:38I'm not selling my body.
00:23:44Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:23:47That thought disgusts me.
00:23:49Then what are you doing?
00:23:50The staff's off tonight.
00:23:52I'm buying dinner.
00:23:56Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:23:58No, I- I-
00:24:00Jesus.
00:24:02Wait.
00:24:03You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:07I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up.
00:24:10You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:14Are you sure about that?
00:24:16No.
00:24:19I present to you.
00:24:20Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:23You're welcome.
00:24:25Interesting combo.
00:24:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:24:30It's...
00:24:32Good.
00:24:38Was that a compliment?
00:24:39Although...
00:24:40I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:42Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:24:44It's American.
00:24:45And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:49You should read more.
00:24:51Put it down.
00:24:53I paid for it.
00:24:54You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:56To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:25:00It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:25:04You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:25:06Nobody would have given it to you.
00:25:07I'll make sure they're in it.
00:25:08Okay, Alice.
00:25:09It's fine.
00:25:10You're fine.
00:25:11I'm fine.
00:25:12I'm fine.
00:25:13I'm fine.
00:25:14I'm fine.
00:25:15I'm fine.
00:25:16I'm fine.
00:25:17I'm fine.
00:25:18I'm fine.
00:25:19I'm fine.
00:25:20I'm fine.
00:25:21I'm fine.
00:25:22I'm fine.
00:25:23I'm fine.
00:25:24I'm fine.
00:25:25I'm fine.
00:25:26I'm fine.
00:25:28I'm fine.
00:25:29I'm fine.
00:25:30I'm fine.
00:25:31I'm fine.
00:25:32I'm fine.
00:25:33I'm fine.
00:25:34I'm fine.
00:25:35I'm fine.
00:25:36I'm fine.
00:25:37I'm fine.
00:25:38I'm fine.
00:25:39I'm fine.
00:25:40I'm fine.
00:25:41It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, miss. Hurricane's constant. Traffic's shut down.
00:25:47We'll get to you as soon as we can, right?
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:49I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:25:54Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56Hi.
00:25:58My daughter.
00:25:59Please stay with me, Dad. Please.
00:26:06No.
00:26:08Please, wake up.
00:26:11Dad, please.
00:26:15Please don't leave me.
00:26:16Please don't leave me.
00:26:20Please don't leave me.
00:26:25You...
00:26:32What are you doing here?
00:26:49You were crying.
00:26:56Loudly.
00:26:59Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right.
00:27:02Sorry for the noise.
00:27:04Wait.
00:27:05You know Snarky come back?
00:27:07Not tonight. I'm too tired.
00:27:09If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:11You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:16Hurricane hit New York.
00:27:19Power went down.
00:27:20Traffic froze.
00:27:22Dad had a stroke.
00:27:24But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:26I sat there with a candle while he had laid there.
00:27:35Peaceful.
00:27:37Like he was asleep.
00:27:39But he wasn't.
00:27:44So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:47This used to be our hometown.
00:27:48After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:59What are you doing?
00:28:04Come on.
00:28:05Come on.
00:28:05Wait.
00:28:22I thought the power was out.
00:28:24It is.
00:28:25We have our own generator.
00:28:26Wow.
00:28:27Rich people houses her.
00:28:29Just for tonight,
00:28:31I'll allow it.
00:28:33Allow what?
00:28:34You can call this place your house.
00:28:37So enjoy it.
00:28:38Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:40Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:42Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:44All yours.
00:28:48This
00:28:48is your home.
00:28:52Alice Keaton.
00:28:58Careful.
00:28:59Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02Okay then.
00:29:04I have
00:29:06one request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait.
00:29:22Give me a second.
00:29:23I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:27And in the middle of a thunderstorm.
00:29:30Inside a literal mansion.
00:29:32You chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Got a problem?
00:29:36It's just so cool.
00:29:37Like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:40It's literally a board game.
00:29:42Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:45Wait.
00:29:46Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:48For the tenth time.
00:29:50It moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:58Happy?
00:29:59Ecstatic.
00:29:59That's suicide.
00:30:03Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:05You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:30:07Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:09You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:11Golding disagrees.
00:30:13It's going to be a long night.
00:30:14Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:44What are you doing here?
00:30:58Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:01Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:03Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:06When did you get back?
00:31:07Last night.
00:31:08From Zurich.
00:31:09You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:12I missed you.
00:31:13Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you. Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:19Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:21They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:22I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:24They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:27You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:31Engagement.
00:31:33Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:36He's promised.
00:31:38Old money stuff, very retro.
00:31:40I didn't agree to that.
00:31:41You didn't have to. It's never up to us.
00:31:45Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:47Serena.
00:31:48I can hear you, you know.
00:31:49Oh, an American.
00:31:52How refreshing.
00:31:57Goodbye.
00:31:59Wait.
00:32:11Where are you going?
00:32:12You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:13You only paid for dinner.
00:32:14I have homework.
00:32:15Goodbye.
00:32:16Your little toy has quite the temptation.

00:44:00This fall is a little more than I expected
00:44:15In so deep I can barely see myself
00:44:22Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted
00:44:30But I find this the place to test myself
00:44:42Oops
00:45:00Oh sorry, didn't see that
00:45:02Then again nobody does
00:45:05Move please
00:45:07Try begging
00:45:14You know what, keep it
00:45:17Poor thing, so dramatic
00:45:24Don't
00:45:26Excuse me
00:45:27I warned you
00:45:29Walk away Serena
00:45:31Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:45:50But one pair surprised me
00:45:52In a good way
00:45:53Charles Kenwood
00:45:54And Alice Keaton
00:45:56Would you mind giving us a short summary
00:45:58She loves the sound of her own voice
00:46:00Better have it
00:46:02Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:46:06Like logic and chaos or silence and noise
00:46:22Different worlds, different rules
00:46:25At first glance they clash
00:46:29But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:46:33Confusion
00:46:34Curiosity
00:46:35But in the end some stories aren't about staying
00:46:39And yes there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:42And yes there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:56Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:01Miss Keaton
00:47:03Dramatic as always
00:47:05Alright
00:47:06Thank you Alice
00:47:07That was
00:47:08Leah
00:47:09Are you okay?
00:47:11Are you okay?

00:47:14Always stirs something

00:48:47No
00:48:48No
00:48:49It's better if I stay out of her life
00:48:51Congratulations Alice Keaton
00:48:54Go live the life you were always meant to
00:49:09Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:49:16And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:49:20It's all coming together beautifully
00:49:23I've lost my appetite
00:49:27I'll go check on him
00:49:30I'll go check on him
00:49:32I'll go check on him
00:49:35I'll go check on him
00:49:41What's your problem Charles?
00:49:46This engagement
00:49:48Is not happening
00:49:49It's not up to you
00:49:50You know that
00:49:51Serena we're not doing this
00:49:52You've changed
00:49:55Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:50:01Taz
00:50:12Tars! You're the sponsor! You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time!
00:50:37So?
00:50:38You lied to everyone, including her!
00:50:41I protected her.
00:50:45You loved her!
00:50:47Still do.
00:50:50Let it go, Serena. There's no point.
00:51:02I need a favour. Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:07Make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:11Anything? No?
00:51:15She's not answering. The interview's almost over.
00:51:19Well, she won't just not show up. Something's wrong.
00:51:23Where's Alice? When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:27Last night. She said she was prepping all evening.
00:51:34James! Track someone for me.
00:51:37Wait! Where are you going?
00:51:39Where are you going?
00:51:47Chill. Okay. It won't hurt you.
00:51:50Yeah. We're just supposed to keep you away from the interview. That's it.
00:51:53That's it.
00:52:02Shit! Come back!
00:52:04Fuck!
00:52:05Uh...
00:52:06...
00:52:07...
00:52:09...
00:52:11...
00:52:13Hey, hey, hey, Alex, Alex?
00:52:43Alex, stay with me, stay with me, Alex.
00:52:46Alex!
00:53:13It's okay.
00:53:14Someone already contacted the university and sent in your writing samples.
00:53:18They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:53:20Wait, what?
00:53:21Who?
00:53:22No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:53:27What did you say?
00:53:29Nothing.
00:53:30I just had a dream.
00:53:43I got him!
00:53:47Oh, I knew it!
00:53:50Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:53:53He's not here.
00:53:55Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:58Know what?
00:53:59He left a few days ago.
00:54:02Yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:04Honestly, Asher has been quieter without him.
00:54:07It's probably for the best.
00:54:08Come on.
00:54:09Fuck.
00:54:10I couldn't stay.
00:54:11I couldn't wait.
00:54:13I thought that you should know when I would have to hang around.
00:54:18The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud.
00:54:23Chaotic.
00:54:24Unexpected.
00:54:25And with his absence...
00:54:29Come on!
00:54:30It ended quietly.
00:54:32Like summers always do.
00:54:49And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:54:55Thank you for having me.
00:54:56No, your words moved millions.
00:54:59They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
00:55:05Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:55:07How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:10No comment.
00:55:11A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working.
00:55:16Not even a single date.
00:55:17Let me guess a bird named Sherry.
00:55:19She caught me.
00:55:20Still no comment.
00:55:21Alright, alright.
00:55:22No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:55:28It feels so real.
00:55:29Because once, I did.
00:55:30That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's book.
00:55:31And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:55:32And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:55:33That's incredible.
00:55:34We're thinking celebration, press, photos.
00:55:38Maybe tonight.
00:55:39Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:55:41I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me for a long time.
00:55:42I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me for a long time.
00:55:43And I'll see you next time.
00:55:44I'll see you next time.
00:55:45I'll see you next time.
00:55:46Congratulations, Alice. The numbers just came in. You broke your own record.
00:55:57That's... incredible.
00:56:00We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:56:04Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:56:08I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:56:12My sponsor.
00:56:14You're sure?
00:56:14Yeah.
00:56:16Just once.
00:56:17Tonight, 7pm.
00:56:29Good evening.
00:56:34Good evening.
00:56:38May I sit?
00:56:39Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:56:48Hi.
00:56:50Hi.
00:56:50You look well.
00:56:56And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:56:59You always did.
00:57:02You were expecting someone else.
00:57:03I was hoping.
00:57:05I was hoping.
00:57:07But I guess I always knew.
00:57:10I didn't come here to confuse you.
00:57:13Or to reopen anything.
00:57:16I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:57:18Oh, thank you.
00:57:19I didn't know you were still reading.
00:57:26You were rich enough not to do so.
00:57:29Always.
00:57:31Either way, your sponsorship started my career.
00:57:35So...
00:57:35No.
00:57:36No.
00:57:36No, you've...
00:57:37You weren't everything.
00:57:41Every word.
00:57:43Every page.
00:57:45Every reader.
00:57:47That's what I came to say.
00:57:53It was good to see you again.
00:57:54I hope.
00:57:55Charles.
00:57:57Can you just...
00:57:58Wait a little longer?
00:58:01I think I knew it was you.
00:58:10There was one email.
00:58:13You said something.
00:58:15Felt familiar.
00:58:16Really?
00:58:17Kind of had that rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:58:21Very on brand.
00:58:23I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:58:25Too late.
00:58:25Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:58:28Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:58:31Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:58:37You've changed.
00:58:40But...
00:58:41Not really.
00:58:43You haven't changed.
00:58:46But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:58:51Anyway.
00:58:52I wanted to say...
00:58:57And...
00:58:58Thanks for being here tonight.
00:58:59You didn't have to come.
00:59:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:07You didn't have to come.
00:59:09Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:12If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
00:59:37You didn't have to come.
00:59:47You didn't have to come.
00:59:49You didn't have to come.
00:59:50You couldn't do anything.
00:59:51You didn't have to come.
00:59:52I see.
00:59:56I know my answer now.
00:59:57I didn't have the power back then.
01:00:00Not enough to protect you.
01:00:02I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
01:00:05Because of my name,
01:00:07my family.
01:00:10I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:00:13So you just disappeared,
01:00:14without a word.
01:00:19If you had the chance to see the world,
01:00:20without me weighing you down,
01:00:23if you still chose me after that...
01:00:29You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice,
01:00:32but you made a choice for me.
01:00:36Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:41I would have chosen you anyway?
01:00:48I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:00:51You weren't.
01:00:54But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:01:05This is me.
01:01:06Right.
01:01:07I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:01:14I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:01:19I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:01:28Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:32You're asking your ex,
01:01:34who you haven't seen in four years,
01:01:37to come into your hotel,
01:01:37to come into your hotel,
01:01:38at approximately 11pm.
01:01:42You were right.
01:01:43You never were that smart.
01:01:45You don't have to come.
01:01:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:01:49It's almost like you say,
01:01:52where's things better to go?
01:01:56Stop quoting yourself.
01:02:04I recycle.
01:02:05It saves energy.
01:02:08This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:02:10You sound like a disclaimer.
01:02:11You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:02:14I said that?
01:02:15Yeah.
01:02:15Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:02:18Still is.
01:02:20You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:02:25That is cute to me.
01:02:27Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:02:29I wasn't going to.
01:02:31I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:02:33Then shut up.
01:02:35And prove it.
01:02:42I still can't believe this is happening.
01:02:43I told you,
01:02:44they're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:02:47And I told you,
01:02:48they're both.
01:02:56I vowed to always tell you the truth.
01:03:18Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:03:20Then I lie.
01:03:22Respectfully.
01:03:23I vowed to keep choosing
01:03:26you.
01:03:28Loudly.
01:03:30Quietly.
01:03:31Always.
01:03:33Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:03:37Is he actually good at this?
01:03:39I mean,
01:03:40he did beat her at sarcasm.
01:03:45I vowed to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:03:47Especially over Shakespeare.
01:03:50I vowed to write you in your every story.
01:03:53Even when I say I didn't.
01:03:55You will always be part of my life.
01:03:57If she quotes Austin in this toast,
01:04:00I'm out.
01:04:00No you're not.
01:04:01You're going to cry harder.
01:04:02You're going to cry harder.
01:04:25I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:04:28Such a clichƩ honeymoon destination.
01:04:32Guard your phone.
01:04:33Relax.
01:04:33Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:39You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:04:43Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:45Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:47No.
01:04:51No.
01:04:52No.
01:04:53No, no, no, no.
01:04:53That is not an invitation to-
01:04:55Do not take off these clothes.
01:04:56I'm overruled.
01:04:58You look much better without them.
01:04:59To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:05:12And you will find your way home.
01:05:16Sometimes I wanna be on my own, but I don't want to die alone.
01:05:21It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these
01:05:51books.
01:05:52Help us develop, learn and grow.
