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

00:01:27the 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. Nonchalant. Are you happy with how we ended? Is it warm enough?
00:16:14Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:16:17Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:24What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:31Did I ask for two months?
00:16:37Isn't my fault I thought we were...
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.
00:16:50Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:54Wow.
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.
00:17:01You're heavier than you look.
00:17:04I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:11Are you okay?
00:17:12No, but I will be.
00:17:16Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:18What 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 sorry.
00:17:34Sorry.
00:17:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:42Don't get used to it.
00:17:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:47Alice?
00:17:47Over here.
00:17:49I can't.
00:17:52You okay?
00:17:55Why are you drenched?
00:17:57Yeah, I just took a weird shower.
00:18:00Top exploded.
00:18:03Come on, let's get you home.
00:18:14Alice cheated, 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, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:50I'll look into it.
00:18:52Charles?
00:18:55Good on you.
00:18:56How many of you would speak up?
00:18:57I 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 funds.
00:19:11Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:17Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:18Being a scholarship student has its perks.
00:19:38Like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:46Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:19:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:51But sometimes, being here means standing 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.
00:20:40What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:45It's comfortable.
00:20:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:48This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:51And this is not even your house.
00:20:52And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:55Just 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?
00:21:02Um, buzzkill?
00:21:05Cockblock.
00:21:06You're insufferable.
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:09You know what? I 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?
00:21:16Why would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:26Florence.
00:21:27Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:21:32Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:42Next stop, Napoli.
00:21:44Marvel at Pompeii.
00:21:45Pretend you're shocked.
00:21:47Ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:48The final stop, Paris.
00:21:51The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:21:59That's word for word.
00:22:04I told you.
00:22:05I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:22:07Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:22:09Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:22:14Twice.
00:22:15Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels.
00:22:23No, thank you.
00:22:25Wow.
00:22:26Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27That'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.
00:22:42Just for today.
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:45Come 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?
00:23:03I've got it sorted.
00:23:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:20Relax.
00:23:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:25What deal?
00:23:25You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:31You'll survive.
00:23:33I'm not selling my body.
00:23:38I'm not selling my body.
00:23:44Wow.
00:23:45I am deeply offended.
00:23:48That thought disgusts me.
00:23:50Then what are you doing?
00:23:51The staff's off tonight.
00:23:53I'm buying dinner.
00:23:54Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:24:00No, I'm...
00:24:01Jesus.
00:24:03Wait.
00:24:04You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:08I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up.
00:24:11You know what?
00:24:11Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:12Are you sure about that?
00:24:18I 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 will do.
00:24:31It's...
00:24:31Good.
00:24:38Was 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, likely born in South America.
00:24:49You should read more.
00:24:50Put it down.
00:24:54I paid for it.
00:24:55You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:57To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:25:01It's only easy because it costs you a hundred pounds.
00:25:05You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:25:07I'll make sure that.
00:25:08Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:25You're fine.
00:25:33911, look for your emergency.
00:25:38911, what's for your emergency?
00:25:41It's my dad.
00:25:42He needs help.
00:25:43He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, miss.
00:25:45Hurricane's constant traffic 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.
00:25:51Can 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.
00:26:01Please.
00:26:06No.
00:26:06Please wake up.
00:26:09Dad, please.
00:26:15Please don't leave me.
00:26:16I don't know what to say.
00:26:46You... What are you doing here?
00:26:53You were crying. Loudly. Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right. Sorry for the noise.
00:27:03Wait. You know Snarky come back?
00:27:06Not tonight. I'm too tired. If you're here to art, you knock yourself out.
00:27:12You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:16Hurricane hit New York. Power went down. Traffic froze.
00:27:21Dad had a stroke. But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:28I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:33Peaceful. Like he was asleep.
00:27:38But he wasn't.
00:27:43So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:46This used to be our hometown.
00:27:49After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:58What are you doing?
00:28:03Come on.
00:28:05Wait. I thought the power was out.
00:28:23It is. We have our own generator.
00:28:26Wow. Rich people houses her.
00:28:28Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:28:31Allow what?
00:28:33You can call this place your house.
00:28:36So enjoy it.
00:28:37Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:39Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:41Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:42All yours.
00:28:47This is your home.
00:28:50Alice Keaton.
00:28:57Careful.
00:28:58It almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02Okay then.
00:29:05I have one request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:20Wait. Give me a second. I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:27And in the middle of a thunderstorm.
00:29:29Inside a literal mansion.
00:29:31You chose chess.
00:29:33Yeah.
00:29:34Got 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.
00:29:41Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:44Wait. Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:47For the tenth time.
00:29:49It moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:57Happy?
00:29:58Ecstatic.
00:30:01No.
00:30:02That's suicide.
00:30:03Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:30:05You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:30:07Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:08You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:10Golding disagrees.
00:30:12It's going to be a long night.
00:30:14Oh my.
00:30:15No.
00:30:16You can't do that.
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:18No.
00:30:19Oh my god.
00:30:20You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:30:23Time to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:27Buy yourself work cause I'm moving on.
00:30:31Oh yeah.
00:30:32Showing up at my door.
00:30:36Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:40Maybe...
00:30:41He's not so awful after all.
00:30:50Um.
00:30:51Who are you?
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:58Well your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:00Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:03Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:05When did you get back?
00:31:06Last night.
00:31:07From Zurich.
00:31:08You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:12I missed you.
00:31:13Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:15Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:18Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:20They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:21I 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.
00:31:34Did no one tell you?
00:31:36He's promised.
00:31:37Old money stuff.
00:31:38Very retro.
00:31:39I didn't agree to that.
00:31:40You didn't have to.
00:31:41It'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.

00:31:51How refreshing.
00:31:58Goodbye.

00:37:23Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:37:25I might hold you to that.
00:37:27You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:39The list is on the board.
00:37:48Are you okay?
00:37:57You're distracting.
00:38:18You're welcome.
00:38:22They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:26Honestly, both.
00:38:48So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:52Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:54Because it's weird.
00:38:55And I like weird.
00:39:05Check.
00:39:12You're cheating.
00:39:13I'm winning.
00:39:14There's a difference.
00:39:15You are very distracting.
00:39:16And you like it.
00:39:18Charles!
00:39:30We need to talk.
00:39:32I expected poor judgement.
00:39:33But this in my house?
00:39:35It isn't what it looks like.
00:39:36No.
00:39:37Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:38Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:39We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:43Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:39:44She isn't just...
00:39:45You have no right to barge in.
00:39:46On my property.
00:39:50I care about her.
00:39:51I'm not ashamed.
00:39:52That's enough.
00:39:53That's enough.
00:39:54Why do you care?
00:39:55We're protecting our son's future.
00:39:56And our name.
00:39:57You think this protects me?
00:39:58We think she does not belong in your world.
00:39:59Then maybe I don't.
00:40:00I care.
00:40:01You think she does not belong in your world.
00:40:23belong in your world then maybe I don't either

00:45:58Charles Kenwood
00:45:59and Alice Keaton
00:46:01would you mind giving us a short summary
00:46:03she loves the sound of her own voice
00:46:05better 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
00:46:35curiosity
00:46:36but in the end some stories aren't about staying
00:46:39and yes there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:52and yes there is no such thing as a happy ending

00:52:47You're awake
00:52:55Where, where am I?
00:52:57Local clinic, passerby brought you in
00:53:01Passerby?
00:53:03He found you on the side of the road
00:53:05He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:53:07Oh
00:53:09The interview, what time is it?
00:53:11Easy, it's okay
00:53:13Someone already contacted the university

00:53:17They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:19Wait, what, who?
00:53:21No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:23What did you say?
00:53:25Nothing
00:53:27I just
00:53:29Had a dream
00:53:31I had a dream
00:53:41Did you?
00:53:43I got him!
00:53:45Oh, I knew it
00:53:49Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:53:53He's not here
00:53:55Oh, you didn't know
00:53:57Know what?
00:53:59He left
00:54:01A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:54:03Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him
00:54:05It's probably for the best
00:54:07Probably for the best
00:54:09Come on
00:54:11Fuck
00:54:13Fuck
00:54:15Alice
00:54:17The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:54:21Chaotic
00:54:23Unexpected
00:54:25And with his absence
00:54:27Come on
00:54:29Come on
00:54:31It ended quietly
00:54:35Like summers always do
00:54:49And joining us today
00:54:51In this case, most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:54:54Alice Keaton
00:54:55Thank you for having me
00:54:56Now, 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?
00:55:09No comment
00:55:11A little bird told me that the past four years
00:55:14Has 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
00:55:24You write love
00:55:26Like someone who's lived it
00:55:28If you're so real
00:55:29Because once
00:55:30I did
00:55:31With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:55:34And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:55:38And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:55:50Congratulations Alice
00:55:52The numbers just came in
00:55:54You broke your own record
00:55:56That's...
00:55:58Incredible
00:55:59We're thinking celebration
00:56:00Press
00:56:01Photos
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
00:56:12My sponsor
00:56:13You sure?
00:56:14Yeah
00:56:15Just once
00:56:16Tonight
00:56:177pm
00:56:187pm
00:56:30Good evening
00:56:35Good evening
00:56:38May I sit?
00:56:39Hey Mr. Nonchalant
00:56:48Hi
00:56:49Hi
00:56:50Hi
00:56:52You 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
00:57:24I 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
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
00:57:49It was good to see you again
00:57:54I hope
00:57:55Charles
00:57:57Can you just
00:57:59Wait a little longer
00:58:06I 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
00:58:19Rich asshole with a conscience 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 who flirts through punctuation
00:58:30Still the only guy I know who uses wilds unironically
00:58:37You've changed
00:58:39But
00:58:41Not really
00:58:43You haven't changed
00:58:45But
00:58:46Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:58:49Anyway
00:58:51Anyway
00:58:52I wanted to say
00:58:54Thank you
00:58:56And
00:58:58Thanks for being here tonight
00:59:00You 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
00:59:20If 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
00:59:50I 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
01:00:15Without a word
01:00:16If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:21Without me weighing you down
01:00:23If you still chose me after that
01:00:29You 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
01:00:38I would have chosen you anyway?
01:00:40I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:42You weren't
01:00:44But I never claimed to be that smart
01:00:46I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:48I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:50You weren't
01:00:52But I never claimed to be that smart
01:00:55I never claimed to be that smart
01:01:05This is me
01:01:07Right
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
01:01:28Do 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
01:01:40You were right
01:01:42You never were that smart
01:01:45You don't have to come

01:02:03Stop quoting yourself
01:02:05I recycle, it saves energy
01:02:08This feels wildly irresponsible

01:02:47And I told you

01:03:35Is he actually good at this? I mean, he did beat her at sarcasm. I vow to argue with you at least twice a week, especially over Shakespeare.

01:04:05But it's just like that.
01:04:25I can't believe you picked Paris. Such a cliche honeymoon destination. Guard your phone. Relax. Just don't dress like a...

01:04:43Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:45Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:51No.
01:04:52No, no, no, no, that is not an invitation to-
01:04:55Do not take off these clothes!
