00:00:00I've always described the world in words people moments places all through metaphors and margins
00:00:11okay like my mom self-made stubborn and never wrong
00:00:18what was there you excited for your first day she calls this a fresh start I call it terrifying
00:00:30you've got this just for yourself that's kind of the problem
00:01:00okay
00:01:04morning class
00:01:07and you're not seated because
00:01:11I don't have a seat
00:01:14ah a new transfer Alice Keaton right
00:01:18let's see
00:01:19now there's a spot next to Charles
00:01:24Charles case sorry
00:01:26seriously a charity case sitting next to Charles
00:01:30god what is she
00:01:32quiet
00:01:33Charles
00:01:37I've always had words for everything
00:01:40but in that moment
00:01:44I forgot them all
00:01:47moved
00:01:52I'll move your things
00:01:56I'd rather not
00:01:58she'll be a distraction from what sleeping
00:02:01from everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you
00:02:06She was top of her class at her previous school
00:02:10With all due respect sir, her previous school was American. I
00:02:15Highly doubt that
00:02:18That's enough
00:02:20She can sit here. It's fine
00:02:24Back to Golding. Thank you. You got it. I'm Sherry Vaughn. Alice Keaton. It's very important that we look
00:02:34Their experience of the time
00:02:36I
00:02:39Wait, you sat next to Charles? She didn't. You totally shut her down. Oh, knew it. Don't take it personally. He's impossible
00:02:48Can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants? What? He's hot. Everyone kind of is
00:02:56I've seen Connor. He's not my type. You're joking. I don't find bullies attractive. Hey, be careful. We're talking about the king of Ashford
00:03:06The what? His family basically own the school and the town maybe even the country. Yeah
00:03:13Everyone's tried to get close. No one can get past his ego. You're not the first to get iced. Okay, first of all
00:03:19I wasn't iced. It's more like a mutual decision and second
00:03:24I think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable
00:03:29But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated like he's making out
00:03:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic
00:03:40What?
00:03:41No, go on
00:03:42You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic
00:03:55Next time read the room before opening your mouth American
00:04:01We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice
00:04:03We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice
00:04:05Alice
00:04:22Hey, how was your first day?
00:04:23Uh, good
00:04:25Anything exciting happen?
00:04:26Not really, super uneventful
00:04:29Really?
00:04:31How's your new job?
00:04:32Yeah, alright
00:04:33Get this? They said we can stay in the servant's wing
00:04:36Seriously?
00:04:38Apparently the young master won't mind the company
00:04:41The young master
00:04:43This is your boss's house
00:04:46Yep
00:04:47Isn't that incredible?
00:04:49I mean, I wouldn't call it a house
00:04:51It's...
00:04:53A museum
00:04:54With better landscaping
00:04:59Wait here, I'll talk to the butler
00:05:07Wow, rich people
00:05:09You've topped yourselves again
00:05:13Stephen King
00:05:14Stephen King
00:05:16First edition
00:05:26Breaking and entering now
00:05:28How American of you
00:05:30I...
00:05:31You've been paying rent
00:05:32Here in my head
00:05:33Time to fight it hard
00:05:52You can get up now
00:05:54I... I'm trying
00:05:56Wait!
00:05:58Are you serious?
00:06:00Well, you said you were trying
00:06:03What is wrong with you?
00:06:05Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing
00:06:08What are you doing in my house?
00:06:10You...
00:06:12Wait...
00:06:13Your house?
00:06:15My house, my library
00:06:17And now, apparently, my unwanted guest
00:06:21Ah, Master Charles
00:06:23You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter
00:06:26She said you'd be moving in today
00:06:28Is she what?
00:06:30There's been some kind of misunderstanding
00:06:32You see, I'm not actually moving in
00:06:34Is that so?
00:06:36Yeah, I'm not staying here, like at all
00:06:38That's a shame, your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement
00:06:41Well, I just don't think it's appropriate
00:06:43Is it appropriate?
00:06:44Well, if you're sure, then...
00:06:45Absolutely not
00:06:49Come on, Alice
00:06:51You... must... stay
00:06:54It'll be... fun
00:06:57My dear... classmate
00:07:00I'm dead
00:07:02Like mentally
00:07:03Socially
00:07:05And actually dead
00:07:12Just trying to figure out
00:07:14How exactly my life went off the rails
00:07:17Get it together, Alice Keaton
00:07:19You've been through hell
00:07:24Actually, no
00:07:26This is hell
00:07:27But baby
00:07:29You saved me
00:07:30Hi
00:07:31Good morning
00:07:39Wow
00:07:46So, is that Miss Keaton?
00:07:49What thing doesn't know
00:07:50That stop's been closed for months
00:07:52She's going to be late
00:07:58Okay, how long is this thing going to take?
00:08:02Maybe I'll just walk?
00:08:04Five miles to school!
00:08:07Okay, if I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period
00:08:12Or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:17Or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:20What... what are you doing here? Didn't you already leave?
00:08:23Wait... did you come back for... me?
00:08:30Relax...
00:08:32I forgot my textbook
00:08:34Don't flatter yourself
00:08:36Wait...
00:08:39Since you're already here
00:08:41Maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:08:47No
00:08:49Seriously?
00:08:50Your car is huge!
00:08:52Yeah...
00:08:54And I'm not a fan of sharing
00:08:56Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:09:03Unbelievable!
00:09:04Go home!
00:09:14Ashford Institute, please
00:09:16Thank you
00:09:20Who needs that entitled brat anyway?
00:09:23Sir, you called the cab
00:09:25Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:31Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:33Have the whole school go crazy
00:09:36She's new everybody's already talking so you're worried about her. You're overthinking. I just don't like drama
00:09:50Asshole hey
00:09:53Morning class
00:09:56Back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:03Mr. Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing not particularly. Oh
00:10:10I insist you seem very entertained by the Golding
00:10:15I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary. I think his ending is
00:10:22weak
00:10:23Wait wait, do I actually read it? Quiet
00:10:28That's an interesting take explain
00:10:30He had the set up for something brutal something honest
00:10:37In the end he backed out. He could have left the boys on the island
00:10:41Forced them to confront the collapse of all morality and let them choose survival
00:10:45Or death
00:10:46But instead he gave them a rescue boat slaps a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:53It's a waste
00:10:57Don't you think I'm delightfully surprised Charles didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:11:03I'm always a model student, sir. Let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:09So a critique of Golding's mercy anyone disagree?
00:11:13I
00:11:29Think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way. It's not mercy. It's irony. How so?
00:11:36The 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. That's an interesting take Miss Keita
00:11:51You still think it's a harsh critique in some ways, but not harsh enough
00:11:57Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still Golding
00:12:02sympathize with them and the civilized world toxic violent. He didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:08So yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:16Thank you Miss Keaton well said anyone else
00:12:23Both opinions are valid. Okay, that's kind of epic. Let's not forget Golding faced major backlash when he first published
00:12:31Good literature will always divide
00:12:36What's happening to me?
00:12:43Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:46Well, you're new and apparently had a thing with Charles. Oh what now?
00:12:52You two are in the middle of this epic feud as you've seen in years. We're not even fighting
00:12:57Well, according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected
00:13:01Begged to sit next to him got rejected again and today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears
00:13:13You 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
00:13:22Untouchable
00:13:24Wow
00:13:25Is misogyny like a rich kid thing or is a British specialty honestly?
00:13:29Both but seriously Alice some people already see you as a threat
00:13:42Okay, loaded
00:13:45It's like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:13:52Hello?
00:14:02Hello?
00:14:07Is somebody out there?
00:14:09Oh come on!
00:14:20Um
00:14:20Fine.
00:14:38Seriously?
00:14:41Shit.
00:14:47What the hell?
00:14:50Anne, 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.
00:15:08Shit.
00:15:14Alice?
00:15:15Alice?
00:15:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here. I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton. She hasn't come home.
00:15:22I'll have it sent over.
00:15:23Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:30Alice!
00:15:31Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine. You're fine.
00:15:39You're fine.
00:15:40You're fine.
00:15:44Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine. You're fine.
00:15:51You're fine.
00:15:52You're fine.
00:15:53You're fine.
00:15:54You're fine.
00:15:55Alice's son's son's son.
00:15:56You're fine.
00:15:57You're fine.
00:15:58You're fine.
00:15:59You've got to cut my head down to theて.
00:16:00You're fine.
00:16:01You're fine.
00:16:02You're fine.
00:16:03I love to cut my head down.
00:16:04No, I'm fine.
00:16:05I'm fine.
00:16:06I'm fine.
00:16:07This is close, right?
00:16:08You're fine.
00:16:10You're fine.
00:16:11Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:16:17Are you happy with how we act?
00:16:24What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:31You're welcome
00:16:41I 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
00:16:59Wouldn't recommend it
00:17:00You're heavier than you look
00:17:02I hope you pull your shoulder
00:17:05Are you okay?
00:17:13No, but I will be
00:17:15Someone did this on purpose
00:17:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:21Don't worry, I can handle it
00:17:22You shouldn't have to
00:17:23I'm
00:17:26Sorry
00:17:28Sorry
00:17:35Sorry
00:17:35Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:42Don't get used to it
00:17:43I wouldn't dream of it
00:17:45Alice?
00:17:47Over here
00:17:49Oh my god
00:17:50You okay?
00:17:53Why are you drenched?
00:17:56Yeah, I just took a weird shower
00:18:00Top exploded
00:18:01Come on, let's get you home
00:18:04Alice's cheating, right?
00:18:16I heard she staged the whole thing for attention
00:18:20I know how this place works
00:18:45If you don't do anything about it
00:18:47If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse
00:18:49I'll look into it
00:18:51Charles
00:18:53Good on you
00:18:55How many here would speak up?
00:19:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in
00:19:04That's insane
00:19:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:08Busy protecting their golden boys and trust fans
00:19:10Well, for what it's worth
00:19:12I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night
00:19:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:19:19Being a scholarship student has its perks
00:19:38Like 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
00:19:52But sometimes, being here means standing behind
00:19:55And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:19:59You can never afford
00:20:00Have fun
00:20:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary
00:20:09The trip cost 20 grand in pounds
00:20:13Which translates to mom's salary for half a year
00:20:16So yeah
00:20:18I didn't go
00:20:19What are you doing here?
00:20:41Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:43Do 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
00:20:52And yet, you're here, dressed like this
00:20:54Just don't, look, go away
00:20:57Hard not to
00:20:58When you're walking around dressed like that
00:21:00What do you guys call it?
00:21:02Um, buzzkill?
00:21:05Cockblock
00:21:05You're insufferable
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast
00:21:08You know what?
00:21:10I don't get it
00:21:11Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing
00:21:14Why do you think?
00:21:15Where would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep
00:21:26Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian
00:21:32Or Titian
00:21:33If you want to sound extra pretentious
00:21:36Then Venice
00:21:37Because everybody loves a good canal
00:21:39And getting lost in the most confusing city on earth
00:21:42Next stop
00:21:43Napoli
00:21:43Marvel at Pompeii
00:21:45Pretend you're shocked
00:21:46Ancient people had plumbing
00:21:48The final stop
00:21:49Harry
00:21:50The ultimate city of romance
00:21:53And, naturally
00:21:55Woody Allen's
00:21:57Favourite city
00:21:58Outside of New York
00:21:59That's
00:22:01Word for word
00:22:03I told you
00:22:04I've done this tour so many times
00:22:06I could run it
00:22:07Okay, but still
00:22:08It's Europe
00:22:09Most people would kill for that chance
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris
00:22:13Twice
00:22:15Also, I hate the accommodations
00:22:17Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms
00:22:21In five-star hotels
00:22:22No, thank you
00:22:24Wow
00:22:25Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27Well, that's unfortunate
00:22:28It's a very chaotic city
00:22:30One word of advice?
00:22:31Shut up
00:22:32That's two words
00:22:33You're weird
00:22:36You're loud
00:22:37You're annoying
00:22:37You're in my kitchen
00:22:38You have three other kitchens
00:22:40And I prefer this one
00:22:41Just for today
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on
00:22:45Come back with normal clothes on
00:22:46You don't have to come
00:22:47Don't tell me what I have to do
00:22:52That's a Charles
00:22:58Roads 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
00:23:06Jesus, 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
00:23:27You'll survive
00:23:32I'm not selling my body
00:23:35I'm not selling my body
00:23:40Wow
00:23:45I am deeply offended
00:23:48That thought disgusts me
00:23:50Then what are you doing?
00:23:52The staff's off tonight
00:23:52I'm buying dinner
00:23:54Did you seriously think
00:23:58I'd spend a hundred pounds on
00:24:00No, I'm
00:24:00Jesus
00:24:01Wait
00:24:03You think I'm not worth
00:24:05One hundred pounds?
00:24:08I'm not spending
00:24:09One hundred pounds
00:24:09To snort you back up
00:24:10You know what?
00:24:11Dinner's cancelled
00:24:12Are you sure about that?
00:24:18I present to you
00:24:20Meatball spaghetti
00:24:21Stir fried veggies
00:24:22And french fries
00:24:23You're welcome
00:24:24Interesting combo
00:24:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France
00:24:28But this will do
00:24:29It's
00:24:31Good
00:24:32Was that a compliment?
00:24:40Although
00:24:40I am obliged to inform you
00:24:43Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian
00:24:45It's American
00:24:46And french fries
00:24:47Likely born in South America
00:24:49You should read more
00:24:51Put it down
00:24:53I paid for it
00:24:55You really just have to win
00:24:56Every argument, don't you?
00:24:57To be fair
00:24:58You make it very easy
00:25:00It's only easy
00:25:02Because it costs you
00:25:03A hundred pounds
00:25:04You know, if you'd ask for more
00:25:06I probably would have given it to you
00:25:07Make sure to write it
00:25:08Okay, Alice
00:25:24It's fine
00:25:24You're fine
00:25:269-1-1, look for your emergency
00:25:359-1-1, what's for your emergency?
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.
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:50I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:25:54Daddy, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56Hi.
00:25:58My daughter.
00:25:59Please, stay with me, dad. Please.
00:26:05No. Please, wake up.
00:26:13Dad, please. Please don't leave me.
00:26:16Dad, please.
00:26:25What are you doing here?
00:26:50You were crying. Loudly.
00:26:59Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right. Sorry for the night.
00:27:04Wait, you 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?
00:27:17Hurricane hit New York.
00:27:19Power went down. Traffic 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 mom 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.
00:28:06Wait, I thought the peril 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
00:28:49is 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
00:29:07one 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.
00:29:41It'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.
00:30:04Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:06You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:30:08Still 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.
00:30:14Oh my.
00:30:15No.
00:30:16Why?
00:30:16What's happening at that?
00:30:17Dude, you can't do that.
00:30:18Oh my god.
00:30:19Oh my god.
00:30:20Can I do that?
00:30:20No.
00:30:21Can I do that?
00:30:21No.
00:30:21You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:30:24I had to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:28All yourself work cause I'm moving on.
00:30:32Oh yeah.
00:30:33Showing up at my door.
00:30:37Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:40Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:43Oh my god.
00:30:51Um, who are you?
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:59Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:01Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:04Who 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.
00:31:10I missed you.
00:31:14Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:16Apparently, 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.
00:31:25They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:28You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:31Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:37He's promised.
00:31:38Old money stuff.
00:31:39Very retro.
00:31:40I didn't agree to that.
00:31:41You didn't have to.
00:31:42It's never up to us.
00:31:45Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:48Serena.
00:31:48I didn't hear you, you know.
00:31:50Oh, an American.
00:31:52How refreshing.
00:31:58Goodbye.
00:31:59Wait.
00:32:08Where are you going?
00:32:17You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:18You only paid for dinner.
00:32:21I have homework.
00:32:23Goodbye.
00:32:26Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:32:28Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:30What?
00:32:31Teasing the help?
00:32:38That's her.
00:32:39That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:42Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:43Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:33:02They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:04Oh, and Serena.
00:33:05What about her?
00:33:06Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:10Of course she did.
00:33:13Careful, Alice.
00:33:25You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:27Come to the music room.
00:33:43Urgent.
00:33:44I just remembered, I need to check something.
00:33:47You guys go ahead.
00:33:48Yeah, okay.
00:33:55Hello?
00:33:56Is someone there?
00:33:57Seriously?
00:33:59This is getting old.
00:34:00Wait.
00:34:12Music room?
00:34:14What?
00:34:16James?
00:34:17Is anybody in here earlier?
00:34:19Just Miss Serena.
00:34:20Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:23Sir?
00:34:23Sir, it's raining.
00:34:37Come on, Alice.
00:34:38You're fine.
00:34:40You're not that girl again.
00:34:41Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:34:51Okay.
00:34:53Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:54Yeah.
00:34:55Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:57And knights...
00:34:58The knight's the weird one.
00:34:59Rooks...
00:35:05Straight lines...
00:35:08Bishops...
00:35:09Diagonally.
00:35:11Hello?
00:35:12Hello?
00:35:13The text.
00:35:33Are you okay?
00:35:35Are you hurt?
00:35:36I...
00:35:36I'm okay.
00:35:38I...
00:35:38I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:40I didn't see the message.
00:35:42Serena took my phone.
00:35:43I didn't know.
00:35:44I'm sorry.
00:35:45I'm...
00:35:46Okay.
00:35:48You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:50You're freezing.
00:35:50You didn't have to come.
00:35:54Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:10That wasn't a mistake.
00:36:20If that's what you're about to say.
00:36:23I...
00:36:24Wasn't going to.
00:36:25You're really bad at this, you know.
00:36:40What?
00:36:41Kissing?
00:36:41Hiding feelings.
00:36:43Oh, I...
00:36:44Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:07Oh, you wish.
00:37:10Seriously.
00:37:11It's a cock block.
00:37:12You kissed me.
00:37:16That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:24Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:37:25I might hold you to that.
00:37:36You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:39The list is on the board.
00:37:42One, two, three, four.
00:37:48Are you okay?
00:37:49Fly me to outer space.
00:37:54That's where I'll see your face.
00:37:58And have you with me.
00:38:04It may seem dark.
00:38:08But you always...
00:38:09You're distracting.
00:38:11You're welcome.
00:38:19They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:26Honestly?
00:38:28Right?
00:38:28I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:38:35No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:38:37They all just let me down.
00:38:39But baby, you saved me.
00:38:42Time brand new.
00:38:45Everything's so different now.
00:38:48So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:52Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:55Because it's weird.
00:38:57And I like weird.
00:39:06Check.
00:39:07You're cheating.
00:39:14I'm winning.
00:39:15There's a difference.
00:39:16You are very distracting.
00:39:18And you like it.
00:39:20How did the fall in your day?
00:39:24I'll be in the darkest days.
00:39:28I'll hold you in my arms.
00:39:30Charles!
00:39:30We need to talk.
00:39:33I expected poor judgment.
00:39:43But this in my house?
00:39:45It isn't what it looks like.
00:39:46No?
00:39:48Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:51Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:53We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:56Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:39:59She isn't just...
00:40:01You have no right to barge in.
00:40:03On my property.
00:40:07I care about her.
00:40:09I'm not ashamed of that.
00:40:10That's enough.
00:40:14Why do you care?
00:40:15We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:18And our name.
00:40:20You think this protects me?
00:40:22You think she does not belong in your world?
00:40:28Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:29You're ready to give up everything for a girl you barely know?
00:40:38Yes.
00:40:39Then are you sure she's ready?
00:40:43I'm asking you.
00:40:50Do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:40:57What are you talking about?
00:40:58You left us no choice, son.
00:41:00You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:01You left us no choice, sir.
00:41:04Pelton.
00:41:06It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:07Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:41:09How can I help?
00:41:10If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioral code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant a review?
00:41:19Yes, sir.
00:41:24So, answer me again.
00:41:27Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:41Charles, what happened?
00:41:43Did your parents say something?
00:41:44Are they mad?
00:41:44Is everything okay?
00:41:47Pack your things.
00:41:47You can't stay here anymore.
00:41:51What?
00:41:53My parents fired your mother.
00:41:55She's leaving.
00:41:57So are you.
00:41:57Wait, what?
00:41:58Why?
00:41:59Is it because of us?
00:42:00We can fix this.
00:42:01I'll get a job.
00:42:02Stop, stop it.
00:42:03You don't get it.
00:42:05If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:08Okay?
00:42:09No card.
00:42:10No trust.
00:42:11No support.
00:42:13Nothing.
00:42:14Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:42:16We don't need all that.
00:42:18We can...
00:42:18Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:21So that's what this was?
00:42:26Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:42:30What did they promise you?
00:42:35Nothing.
00:42:38They just reminded me of what's real.
00:42:41Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:42:46You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:42:49What did they threaten you with?
00:42:56What did they threaten you with?
00:42:58This is the difference between me and you.
00:43:00What?
00:43:01You think you know me.
00:43:03Or what I have.
00:43:05You don't, Alice.
00:43:06You're still lying.
00:43:08I'm not, Alice.
00:43:10Look around you.
00:43:11This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:14It's my house.
00:43:17My world.
00:43:18I was bored into this.
00:43:20I am not choosing between this
00:43:22and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:27Don't do this, Charles.
00:43:32You don't mean it.
00:43:33It was fine.
00:43:35But you?
00:43:37You don't compare to what I own.
00:43:41I'll survive the loss.
00:43:45Right.
00:43:47I should have known.
00:43:50Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:43:55You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:43:57Go to sleep, Alice.
00:44:11This 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
00:44:27But the pleats had
00:44:29But I find this place to test myself
00:44:34Oops
00:44:43Oops
00:44:43Oh sorry, didn't see that
00:45:02Then again, nobody does
00:45:04Move, please
00:45:06Try begging
00:45:09You know what, keep it
00:45:16Poor thing
00:45:22So dramatic
00:45:23Don't
00:45:25Excuse me
00:45:27I warned you
00:45:28Walk away, Serena
00:45:30Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:45:37But one pair surprised me
00:45:38In a good way
00:45:39Charles Kenwood
00:45:40And Alice Keaton
00:45:41Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:45:42She loves the sound of her own voice
00:45:43Better have it
00:45:44I couldn't stay
00:45:46I couldn't wait
00:45:47I thought that you should know that I would have
00:45:50Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable, but one pair surprised me, in a good way.
00:45:58Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:46:01Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:46:04If she loves the sound of her own voice, better have it.
00:46:14Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet,
00:46:19like logic and chaos, or silence and noise.
00:46:24Different worlds, different rules.
00:46:28At first glance, they clash.
00:46:31But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:46:34Confusion, curiosity.
00:46:37But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:46:40And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:46:49And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:46:56Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:01Miss Keaton.
00:47:04Dramatic as always.
00:47:05Alright.
00:47:06Thank you, Alice.
00:47:08That was...
00:47:09Laid.
00:47:11Are you okay?
00:47:12A reminder, that good literature always stirs something.
00:47:16Hello?
00:47:20Hi, here's Alice Keaton.
00:47:21This is We're More Press.
00:47:22We've been following your work.
00:47:24We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:47:26Name your price.
00:47:27We'll make it work.
00:47:28Sorry, what?
00:47:33That's...
00:47:34kind of...
00:47:35insane.
00:47:36Who's behind this?
00:47:37Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:47:40Can...
00:47:40Can I meet them?
00:47:42I want to.
00:47:45Please.
00:47:47Or at least tell me a name.
00:47:52Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:47:53So they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:47:56I'd really like to meet them.
00:47:57I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:47:58Name was very good.
00:47:59I think the most generous offer we've ever given a Disney World Center.
00:48:03I see.
00:48:04Congratulations again.
00:48:05Have you got the interview?
00:48:10It's just an interview.
00:48:11I haven't gotten it yet.
00:48:13Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:48:16That's iconic.
00:48:25Are you okay?
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:28I'm so excited!
00:48:30It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:48:44Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:48:47Good.
00:48:48It's a generous deal.
00:48:50You sure you don't want it to know?
00:48:52No.
00:48:54No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:48:57I will be fine, won't they?
00:48:59I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:49:05Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:49:08Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:49:15Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:49:20And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:49:25It's all coming together beautifully.
00:49:29I've lost my appetite.
00:49:36I'll go check on him.
00:49:42What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:47Disengagement is not happening.
00:49:50It's not up to you.
00:49:51You know that.
00:49:52Serena, we're not doing this.
00:49:55You've changed.
00:49:59Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:50:02It's not happening.
00:50:03I don't know.
00:50:04You know that.
00:50:06I think.
00:50:07I think.
00:50:07It's not happening.
00:50:07I think.
00:50:08I don't know.
00:50:08It's not happening.
00:50:08Tals, you're the sponsor.
00:50:32You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:50:37So?
00:50:38You lied to everyone, including her.
00:50:41I protected her.
00:50:44You loved her.
00:50:47Still do.
00:50:49Let it go, Serena.
00:50:53There's no point.
00:51:03I need a favour.
00:51:04Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:07And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:10Anything?
00:51:14No?
00:51:16She's not answering.
00:51:18The interview's almost over.
00:51:19Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:21Something's wrong.
00:51:23Where's Alice?
00:51:25When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:27Last night.
00:51:28She said she was prepping all evening.
00:51:30No.
00:51:31No.
00:51:32No.
00:51:33No.
00:51:34No.
00:51:35No.
00:51:36What's wrong with me?
00:51:38Wait.
00:51:39Where are you going?
00:51:39No!
00:51:40No!
00:51:41No!
00:51:42No!
00:51:43No!
00:51:44No!
00:51:45No!
00:51:46No!
00:51:47No!
00:51:48No!
00:51:49I want her to you!
00:51:51Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:51:53That's it.
00:52:01Shit!
00:52:02Come back!
00:52:03I
00:52:33Didn't need a second guess
00:52:37Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:52:42Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:52:46Alice
00:52:47You're awake
00:52:54Where, where am I?
00:52:57A local clinic
00:52:58Passer-by brought you in
00:52:59Passer-by
00:53:01He found you on the side of the road
00:53:04He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:53:06Oh
00:53:08The interview, what time is it?
00:53:12Easy, it's okay
00:53:14Someone already contacted the university
00:53:16And sent in your writing samples
00:53:18They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:20Wait, what, who?
00:53:22No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:24What did you say?
00:53:29Nothing
00:53:29I just
00:53:31Had a dream
00:53:33I got him!
00:53:44Oh, I knew it
00:53:49Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:53:53He's not here
00:53:54Oh, you didn't know
00:53:57Know what?
00:53:59He left
00:54:00A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:54:04Honestly, Astra's been quieter without him
00:54:06It's probably for the best
00:54:08Come on
00:54:09I couldn't stay
00:54:10I couldn't wait
00:54:11I thought that you should know where I would have
00:54:15You hang around
00:54:18The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud
00:54:21Chaotic
00:54:23Unexpected
00:54:24And with his absence
00:54:28Come on
00:54:29It ended quietly
00:54:31Like summers always do
00:54:35And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton
00:54:55Thank you for having me
00:54:56Thank you for having me
00:54:57Now, your words moved millions
00:54:59They say your stories feel real
00:55:02Especially the ones about love
00:55:04Thank you
00:55:05Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:55:07How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:09Haha, no comment
00:55:10A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not 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
00:55:24You write love like someone who's lived it
00:55:28If you're so real
00:55:29That's why today we hear Sherry
00:55:32Sharing the story behind Alice Keaton
00:55:35And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:55:38And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:55:52Congratulations Alice, the numbers just came in
00:55:55You broke your own record
00:55:57That's incredible
00:55:59We're thinking celebration
00:56:01Press, photos
00:56:02Maybe tonight
00:56:03Actually
00:56:04There's something I'd rather do
00:56:06I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:56:11My sponsor
00:56:13You're sure?
00:56:14Yeah
00:56:15Just once
00:56:16Tonight
00:56:187pm
00:56:29Good evening
00:56:30Good evening
00:56:35Good evening
00:56:38May I sit?
00:56:48Hi
00:56:50Hi
00:56:53You look well
00:56:54And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:56:59You always did
00:57:01You were expecting someone else
00:57:04I was
00:57:06Hoping
00:57:08But I guess I always knew
00:57:10I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:13Or to reopen anything
00:57:15I just wanted to say congratulations
00:57:20Oh
00:57:21Thank you
00:57:22Thanks for keeping my touch
00:57:24I didn't know you were still reading
00:57:26You were rich enough not to do so
00:57:29Always
00:57:31Either way
00:57:32Your sponsorship started my career
00:57:34So
00:57:35No
00:57:36No, you've
00:57:37You earned everything
00:57:41Every word
00:57:43Every page
00:57:45Every reader
00:57:47That's what I came to say
00:57:48That'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
00:58:00Wait a little longer
00:58:07I think I knew it was you
00:58:10There was one email
00:58:13You said something
00:58:15Felt familiar
00:58:16Really?
00:58:18Kinda had that
00:58:19Rich asshole with a conscious energy
00:58:21Very on brand
00:58:23I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:25Too late
00:58:26Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:28Still the only girl I know
00:58:30Who flirts through punctuation
00:58:32Still the only guy I know
00:58:33Who uses wiles unironically
00:58:34I agree
00:58:38You've changed
00:58:40But
00:58:42Not really
00:58:44You haven't changed
00:58:46But
00:58:47Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:58:51Anyway
00:58:53I wanted to say
00:58:55Thank you
00:58:57And
00:58:59Thanks for being here tonight
00:59:01You didn't have to come
00:59:03Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:07You didn't have to come
00:59:10Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:31If you could go back
00:59:33If you had the chance to do it all again
00:59:35Would you do anything differently?
00:59:42No
00:59:47No
00:59:52I see
00:59:56I know my answer now
00:59:57I didn't have the power
00:59:58Back then
01:00:00Not enough to protect you
01:00:02I couldn't watch you get crushed
01:00:03Because of me
01:00:05Because of my name
01:00:07My family
01:00:10I didn't want to be the reason
01:00:11You lost everything
01:00:13So you just disappeared
01:00:15Without a word
01:00:19If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:21Without me weighing you down
01:00:23If you still chose me after that
01:00:28You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:31But you made a choice for me
01:00:34Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:39I would have chosen you anyway
01:00:47I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:50You weren't
01:00:51You weren't
01:00:54But I never claimed to be that smart
01:01:04This is me
01:01:06Right
01:01:14I'm still mad at you you know
01:01:15I'm still in love with you you know
01:01:18I'm still in love with you you know
01:01:19I'm still in love with you you know
01:01:21I'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
01:01:36To come into your hotel
01:01:38At approximately 11pm
01:01:41You 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
01:01:48It's almost like you say
01:01:50It's almost like you say
01:01:52Where's things better go
01:01:54Stop quoting yourself
01:01:56I recycle
01:01:58It saves energy
01:02:00This feels wildly irresponsible
01:02:02You sound like a disclaimer
01:02:04You're the one who wants called romance a distraction
01:02:06I said that
01:02:08Yeah
01:02:10Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:02:11Still is
01:02:13You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:15That is cute to me
01:02:17Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:19I wasn't going to
01:02:21I forgot all of it the day you left
01:02:23Then shut up
01:02:25And prove it
01:02:27You want to say
01:02:29You want to say
01:02:31You want to say
01:02:33You want to say
01:02:35You want to say
01:02:37You want to say
01:02:39You want to say
01:02:41I still can't believe this is happening
01:02:43I told you
01:02:45They're either worst enemies or secretly married
01:02:47And I told you
01:02:49They're both
01:02:51You want to say
01:02:53You want to say
01:02:54It's more than a night to let you arrive
01:03:00It's not a night to let you die
01:03:02It's enough to let folks let it be
01:03:10You're in my side
01:03:12In my mind
01:03:15I vow to always
01:03:17Tell you the truth
01:03:18Except for when you ask how your cooking was, then I lie. Respectfully.
01:03:25I vow to keep choosing you. Loudly. Quietly. Always. Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:03:37Is he actually good at this?
01:03:39I mean, he did beat over at sarcasm.
01:03:42I vow to argue with you at least twice a week, especially over Shakespeare.
01:03:49I vow to write you into every story, even when I say I didn't. You will always be part of my life.
01:03:57If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:04:00No you're not, you're gonna cry harder.
01:04:12I can't believe you picked Paris. Such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:04:31Guard your phone.
01:04:33Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:36You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:04:42Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:45Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:50No.
01:04:52No, no, no, no. That is not an invitation to-
01:04:54Do not take off these clothes!
01:04:56I'm overruled. You look much better without them.
01:04:59To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:05:16Sometimes I wanna be on my own.
01:05:18But I don't wanna die alone.
01:05:20God.
01:05:21God!
01:05:22God!
01:05:23God!
01:05:24God!
01:05:25God!
01:05:26God!
01:05:27God!
01:05:32Oopsie.
01:05:34I'm getting rifled.
01:05:35Your king!
01:05:39I can't understand it.
01:05:41Okay.
01:05:46It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:05:52Help us develop, learn and grow!
01:05:57Wow, that's even a wrap.
