Full Episode of In Other Words, I Love You
Transcript
00:00:01I've always described the world in words.
00:00:05People, moments, places.
00:00:08But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful. You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's hot.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:19He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:21Breathe the room before opening your mouth.
00:00:24American.
00:00:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:00:28There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:00:31I'm not staying here.
00:00:32You must stay.
00:00:35I heard you stay to the whole thing for attention.
00:00:39Charles, we need to talk.
00:00:41If you don't do anything about it,
00:00:43it's only going to get worse.
00:00:46You're lying to everyone, including her.
00:00:49You didn't have to come.
00:00:51Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:00:58I've always described the world in words.
00:01:06People, moments, places.
00:01:09All through metaphors and margins.
00:01:12You okay?
00:01:13Like my mom.
00:01:15Self-made, stubborn and never wrong.
00:01:18Almost there.
00:01:20You excited for your first day?
00:01:21She calls this a fresh start.
00:01:23I call it terrifying.
00:01:31You've got this.
00:01:32Just be yourself.
00:01:33That's kind of the problem.
00:01:35I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Start a daydream running through my brain everyday.
00:01:50Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:54World of war.
00:01:55I'm stuck in space.
00:01:57Start a daydream running through my brain everyday.
00:02:00I wanna say goodbye.
00:02:02I wanna say goodbye.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:06Morning, class.
00:02:09And you're not seated because?
00:02:11I don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah!
00:02:15A new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:21Now, there's a spot.
00:02:23Next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles' case, sorry.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God.
00:02:30What is she?
00:02:31Quiet.
00:02:32Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But in that moment,
00:02:43I forgot them all.
00:02:44Charles, move your things.
00:02:56I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:02:59From what?
00:03:00Sleeping.
00:03:01From everything.
00:03:02If anything, Charles,
00:03:03Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
00:03:06She was top of her class at her previous school.
00:03:09With all due respect, sir,
00:03:11her previous school was American.
00:03:15I highly doubt that.
00:03:18That's enough.
00:03:20She can sit here.
00:03:21It's fine.
00:03:25Back to Goldie.
00:03:27You got it.
00:03:28I'm Sherry Vaughn.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:30It's very important that we look at the audience
00:03:32and tell you what he's talking about,
00:03:34their experience of the time.
00:03:40Wait.
00:03:41You sat next to Charles?
00:03:42She didn't.
00:03:43You totally shut her down.
00:03:44Oh, knew it.
00:03:45Don't take it personally.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:48Can everyone stop acting like the goal
00:03:49was getting into his pants?
00:03:51What?
00:03:52He's hot.
00:03:53Everyone kind of is.
00:03:56I...
00:03:57I've seen Connor.
00:03:58He's not my type.
00:03:59You're joking.
00:04:00I don't find bullies attractive.
00:04:02Hey!
00:04:03Be careful.
00:04:04You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:04:06The what?
00:04:08His family basically own the school.
00:04:10And the town.
00:04:11Maybe even the country.
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:13Everyone's tried to get close.
00:04:14No one can get past his ego.
00:04:16You're not the first to get iced.
00:04:18Okay, first of all, I wasn't iced.
00:04:20It's more like a mutual decision.
00:04:23And second, I think he's arrogant.
00:04:25Cold.
00:04:26Thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles,
00:04:30he just seems isolated.
00:04:32Like he's faking it all.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely
00:04:35and kind of pathetic.
00:04:40What?
00:04:41No, go on.
00:04:42You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:55Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:05:04We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:22Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:26Anything exciting happen?
00:05:27Not really.
00:05:28Super uneventful.
00:05:30Really?
00:05:31How was your new job?
00:05:32Yeah, all right.
00:05:33Get this?
00:05:34They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:05:36Seriously?
00:05:37Hmm.
00:05:38Apparently the young master won't mind the company.
00:05:41The young master.
00:05:44This is your boss's house.
00:05:46Yeah?
00:05:47Isn't that incredible?
00:05:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:50It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:59Wait here.
00:06:00I'll talk to the butler.
00:06:01Wow.
00:06:02Rich people.
00:06:03You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:04Stephen King.
00:06:05First edition.
00:06:06I'm breaking and entering now.
00:06:07How American of you.
00:06:08I...
00:06:09How American of you.
00:06:10I...
00:06:11How American of you.
00:06:12I...
00:06:13How American of you.
00:06:14I...
00:06:15You've been paying run.
00:06:16Here in my house.
00:06:17You've been paying run.
00:06:18Here in my house.
00:06:19You've been paying run.
00:06:20Here in my house.
00:06:21Try to fight it off.
00:06:22You've been paying run.
00:06:23Here in my house.
00:06:24Try to fight it off.
00:06:25You can get up now.
00:06:26I...
00:06:27You can get up now.
00:06:28I...
00:06:29I...
00:06:30I'm trying.
00:06:31Wait.
00:06:32Are you serious?
00:06:33Well, you said you were trying.
00:06:35What is wrong with you?
00:06:41I'm trying.
00:06:42I'm trying.
00:06:43Wait.
00:06:44Are you serious?
00:06:46I'm trying.
00:06:47I'm trying.
00:06:48I'm trying.
00:06:49How American of you.
00:06:51How did you change the need?
00:06:53You're trying to fight the need.
00:06:54I'm trying.
00:06:56Why do you...
00:06:57Why?
00:06:58Why do you...
00:06:59Why do you change the need?
00:07:00What is wrong with me?
00:07:02Why do you change?
00:07:03Oh, whew.
00:07:04Why do you change the need?
00:07:05Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:07:08What are you doing in my house?
00:07:11You...
00:07:11Wait.
00:07:13Your house?
00:07:15My house, my library,
00:07:17and now, apparently,
00:07:19my unwanted guest.
00:07:22Ah, Master Charles.
00:07:24You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter.
00:07:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:07:28She what?
00:07:28There... there's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:07:31You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:07:33Is that so?
00:07:35Yeah, I'm not staying here, like, at all.
00:07:38That's a shame.
00:07:39Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:07:41Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:07:44Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:07:48Come on, Alice.
00:07:51You must stay.
00:07:54It'll be fun.
00:07:57My dear classmate.
00:08:01I'm dead.
00:08:01Like, mentally, socially,
00:08:04and actually dead.
00:08:12Just trying to figure out
00:08:13how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:08:16Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:08:19You've been through hell.
00:08:23Actually, no.
00:08:24It won't be the thing I need.
00:08:26They all just let me...
00:08:26This is hell.
00:08:28But, baby, you saved me.
00:08:30Uh, good morning.
00:08:39Wow.
00:08:46Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:47Well, f***ing doesn't know.
00:08:50That's often closed for months.
00:08:52She's going to be late.
00:08:59Okay.
00:08:59How long is this thing gonna take?
00:09:02Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:04Five miles to school!
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08If I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:09:10Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:17Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:20What...
00:09:21What are you doing here?
00:09:22Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait.
00:09:27Did you come back for...
00:09:29me?
00:09:30Relax.
00:09:32I forgot my textbook.
00:09:34Don't flatter yourself.
00:09:35Wait.
00:09:39Since you're already here,
00:09:41maybe you could be a decent person
00:09:43and give me a ride?
00:09:47No.
00:09:49Seriously?
00:09:49Your car is huge!
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:53And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:09:56Says the guy who forced me
00:09:58to live in his house!
00:10:03Unbelievable!
00:10:05Ashton Institute, please.
00:10:19Who needs an entitled brat anyway?
00:10:22Sir,
00:10:23you called the cab.
00:10:24Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:31Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33And have the whole school go crazy?
00:10:35She's new.
00:10:37Everybody's already talking.
00:10:39So you're worried about her?
00:10:40You're overthinking.
00:10:42I just don't like drama.
00:10:50Asshole.
00:10:51Who?
00:10:53Morning, Klaus.
00:10:55Back to Golding.
00:10:56Remind me what he's saying
00:10:58through Lord of the Flies.
00:11:04Mr. Kenwood,
00:11:06care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:08Not particularly.
00:11:10Oh, I insist.
00:11:11You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:11:14I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:11:17On the contrary,
00:11:18I think his ending is
00:11:20weak.
00:11:23Wait, wait.
00:11:24You actually read it?
00:11:25Quiet.
00:11:27That's an interesting take.
00:11:29Explain.
00:11:29He had the set up
00:11:33for something brutal.
00:11:35Something honest.
00:11:36But in the end,
00:11:37he backed out.
00:11:38He could have left the boys
00:11:39on the island,
00:11:40forced them to confront
00:11:41the collapsible morality,
00:11:43let them choose survival.
00:11:45Or death.
00:11:46But instead,
00:11:47he gave them a rescue boat,
00:11:49slapped a happily ever after
00:11:50on a book about savagery.
00:11:52It's a waste.
00:11:57Don't you think?
00:11:58I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:12:00Didn't think you had
00:12:00such strong literary opinions.
00:12:03I'm always a model student, sir.
00:12:05Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:12:08So,
00:12:10a critique of Golding's mercy.
00:12:12Anyone disagree?
00:12:18Yeah, you took a note.
00:12:22I think Golding knew exactly
00:12:30what he was doing
00:12:31by ending the book that way.
00:12:32It's not mercy,
00:12:33it's irony.
00:12:35How so?
00:12:38The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:12:40You don't just walk back
00:12:42into society
00:12:42and forget you're a monster.
00:12:44Golding didn't save them,
00:12:45he left us with the discomfort
00:12:46of pretending they could be saved.
00:12:48That's an interesting take,
00:12:49Miss Keita.
00:12:50You still think it's
00:12:51a harsh critique?
00:12:53In some ways,
00:12:54but not harsh enough.
00:12:56Yes,
00:12:57it's a critique of toxic masculinity,
00:12:59but still,
00:13:00Golding sympathized with them.
00:13:02And the civilized world?
00:13:04Toxic, violent,
00:13:05he didn't call that out
00:13:06nearly as much.
00:13:07So, yeah,
00:13:08I don't think Golding
00:13:09pushed far enough,
00:13:10but I think it's unfair
00:13:10to call it a happy ending.
00:13:11Thank you, Miss Keaton.
00:13:17Well said.
00:13:19Anyone else?
00:13:22Both opinions are valid.
00:13:24Okay,
00:13:24that's kind of epic.
00:13:25And let's not forget,
00:13:26Golding faced major backlash
00:13:28when he first published the book.
00:13:30Good literature will always
00:13:32divide opinion.
00:13:33What's happening to me?
00:13:42Okay,
00:13:43what is going on?
00:13:44Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well,
00:13:47you're new
00:13:47and apparently
00:13:48had a thing with Charles.
00:13:50A what now?
00:13:51You two are in the middle
00:13:52of the most epic feud
00:13:53as you've seen
00:13:54in years.
00:13:55We're not even fighting.
00:13:56Well,
00:13:57according to everyone,
00:13:58you confessed your love
00:13:59on day one,
00:14:00got rejected,
00:14:01begged to sit next to him,
00:14:03got rejected again.
00:14:04And today in class,
00:14:06you broke down crying
00:14:07about not believing
00:14:07in happy endings
00:14:08and stormed out
00:14:09in tears.
00:14:12You were there, Sherry.
00:14:13That is not what happened.
00:14:16Doesn't matter.
00:14:17People believe
00:14:18what they want to believe
00:14:19and they want Charles
00:14:20to be flawless,
00:14:21untouchable.
00:14:23Wow.
00:14:24Is massage
00:14:25only like a rich kid thing
00:14:26or just a British specialty?
00:14:27Honestly,
00:14:28both.
00:14:30But seriously,
00:14:31Alice,
00:14:31some people already
00:14:32see you as a threat.

00:17:16Are you happy with how we end?
00:17:24What are you doing here?
00:17:29Can you get off me first?
00:17:33Did I ask for two months?
00:17:37Isn't my fault I thought we would put you in
00:17:40You're welcome.
00:17:42I didn't say thank you.
00:17:43I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:17:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:17:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:17:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:17:54Wow.
00:17:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:59Wouldn't recommend it.
00:18:00You're heavier than you look.
00:18:03I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:18:10Are you okay?
00:18:12No.
00:18:13But I will be.
00:18:15Someone did this on purpose.
00:18:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:18:20Don't worry.
00:18:21I can handle it.
00:18:21You shouldn't have to.
00:18:22I'm sorry.
00:18:34Sorry.
00:18:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:18:42Don't get used to it.
00:18:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:46Alice?
00:18:48Over here.
00:18:49Oh my god.
00:18:52Are you okay?
00:18:55Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57I just took a weird shower.
00:18:59Tap exploded.
00:19:02Come on.
00:19:03Let's get you home.
00:19:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:15I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:19:19I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:19:19I know how this place works.
00:19:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:49I'll look into it.
00:19:52Charles?
00:19:54Good on you.
00:19:56How many here would speak up?
00:19:57I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:20:03That's insane.
00:20:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:20:07Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:20:10Well, for what it's worth,
00:20:12I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:20:16Please.
00:20:17He just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:20:18Being a scholarship student has its perks,
00:20:38like saving a fortune on tuition
00:20:40and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:20:44Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:20:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:20:51But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:20:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:21:02Have fun.
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:21:08The trip cost 20 grand in pounds,
00:21:13which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:21:16So, yeah, I didn't go.
00:21:18What are you doing here?
00:21:41Do you not believe in shirts?
00:21:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:45It's comfortable.
00:21:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:21:48This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:21:50And this is not even your house.
00:21:52And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:21:55Just don't, look, go away.
00:21:57Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:02Um, buzzkill?
00:22:05Cockblock.
00:22:06You're insufferable.
00:22:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:22:09You know what?
00:22:10I don't get it.
00:22:11Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:22:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:22:14Why do you think?
00:22:18How would I go?
00:22:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:22:27Florence.
00:22:28Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Titian.
00:22:32Or Tiziana, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:22:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:22:42Next stop, Napoli, marvel at Pompeii, pretend you're shocked, ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:48The final stop, Paris, the ultimate city of romance.
00:22:54And naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:59That's word for word.
00:23:04I told you.
00:23:05I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:23:07Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:23:09Most people would kill for that chance.
00:23:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:23:14Twice.
00:23:16Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:23:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:23:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels?
00:23:23No thank you.
00:23:23Wow, some were born in Rome, huh?
00:23:27Well, that's unfortunate.
00:23:28It's a very chaotic city.
00:23:30One word of advice?
00:23:31Shut up.
00:23:32That's two words.
00:23:35You're weird.
00:23:36You're loud.
00:23:37You're annoying.
00:23:37You're in my kitchen.
00:23:38You have three other kitchens.
00:23:40And I prefer this one.
00:23:42Just for today.
00:23:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:23:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:23:46You didn't have to come.
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:53Master Charles, roads are flooded.
00:24:00Staff won't make it tonight.
00:24:01Will you be all right sorting dinner?
00:24:05I've got it sorted.
00:24:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:24:20Relax.
00:24:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:24:25What deal?
00:24:25You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:24:31You'll survive.
00:24:33I'm not selling my body.
00:24:39I'm not selling my body.
00:24:45Wow.
00:24:45I am deeply offended.
00:24:49That thought disgusts me.
00:24:51Then what are you doing?
00:24:52Staff's off tonight.
00:24:53I'm buying dinner.
00:24:58Did you seriously think I'd spend £100 on...
00:25:00No, I'm...
00:25:01Jesus.
00:25:03Wait.
00:25:04You think I'm not worth £100?
00:25:08I'm not spending £100 to snort Chewbacca.
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled.
00:25:16Are you sure about that?
00:25:17I present to you meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:25:24You're welcome.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:25:29It's...
00:25:30It's...
00:25:31Good.
00:25:39Was that a compliment?
00:25:40Although, I am obliged to inform you, meatball spaghetti isn't Italian, it's American, and french fries, likely born in South America.
00:25:50You should read more.
00:25:53Put it down.
00:25:55I paid for it.
00:25:56You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:25:58To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:26:02It's only easy because it costs £200.
00:26:06You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:26:08I'll make sure I make it very easy.
00:26:23Okay, Alice, it's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:34911, look for your emergency.
00:26:38911, what's with your emergency?
00:26:42It's my dad.
00:26:43He needs help.
00:26:44He just had a stroke.
00:26:45Okay, miss.
00:26:46Hurricane constant traffic shut down.
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:49Please, he's not well.
00:26:51I understand.
00:26:52Can you confirm your address?
00:26:55Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:26:57All right.
00:26:59My daughter.
00:27:00Please, stay with me, Dad.
00:27:02Please.
00:27:07No.
00:27:08Please, wake up.
00:27:14Dad, please.
00:27:15Please don't leave me.
00:27:17I don't know.
00:27:47You... what are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying.
00:27:57Loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right.
00:28:03Sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait, no snarky comeback?
00:28:08Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:28:14You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:18Hurricane hit New York.
00:28:20Power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:23Dad had a stroke.
00:28:25But he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:29I sat there with a candle
00:28:32while he laid there.
00:28:36Peaceful.
00:28:38Like he was asleep.
00:28:39But he wasn't.
00:28:45So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:48This used to be our hometown.
00:28:51After Dad left,
00:28:53we had nowhere else to go.
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:01Come on.
00:29:06Come on.
00:29:22Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:29:24It is.
00:29:26We have our own generator.
00:29:28Wow.
00:29:29Rich people houses her.
00:29:30Just for tonight,
00:29:32I'll allow it.
00:29:35Allow what?
00:29:36You can call this place your house.
00:29:38So enjoy it.
00:29:39Stephen King's first edition,
00:29:41Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters,
00:29:43Jane Austen's notes,
00:29:45all yours.
00:29:46This is your home,
00:29:53Alice Keaton.
00:29:59Careful.
00:30:00Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:03Don't push it.
00:30:03Okay, then.
00:30:07I have
00:30:08one request.
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:16Are you ever going to make a move?
00:30:22Wait.
00:30:23Give me a second.
00:30:24I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:30And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:30:31inside a literal mansion,
00:30:34you chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:36Got a problem?
00:30:38It's just so cool,
00:30:39like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:42It's literally a board game.
00:30:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:47Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:50For the tenth time,
00:30:51it moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One,
00:30:55two,
00:30:56then turn.
00:30:58There.
00:30:59Happy?
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:03No.
00:31:04That's suicide.
00:31:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:31:07You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:31:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:31:10You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:14It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh my,
00:31:17no.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:18What's going on?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20I'm not going to do that as well.
00:31:21Oh my God.
00:31:21You had to shop,
00:31:24tripping about it all wrong.
00:31:26Tied to pull you in close.
00:31:28As we're locked on your phone.
00:31:29Buy yourself up,
00:31:31because I'm moving on.
00:31:33Oh yeah.
00:31:34Showing up at my door.
00:31:38Holding your heart there,
00:31:40inside your hands.
00:31:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:52Um,
00:31:53who are you?
00:31:53What are you doing here?
00:32:01Well,
00:32:01your parents said you were still at home.
00:32:03Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:32:05Who needs Italy and France again,
00:32:07right?
00:32:08When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night.
00:32:10From Zurich.
00:32:11You didn't answer my messages.
00:32:14I missed you.
00:32:16Anyway,
00:32:16thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:18Apparently,
00:32:19I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:32:21Your parents were so thrilled.
00:32:23They didn't tell me about this.
00:32:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:32:27They said it'd be lovely for us to
00:32:28reconnect.
00:32:30You know,
00:32:31considering the engagement
00:32:32and all.
00:32:34Engagement.
00:32:36Oh,
00:32:36did no one tell you?
00:32:38He's promised.
00:32:40Old money stuff.
00:32:41Very retro.
00:32:42I didn't agree to that.
00:32:43You didn't have to.
00:32:44It's never up to us.
00:32:45Where did you find this little toy?
00:32:50Serena?
00:32:50I didn't hear you,
00:32:51you know.
00:32:52Oh,
00:32:53an American.
00:32:54How
00:32:55refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:15Where are you going?
00:33:19You still owe me breakfast.
00:33:21You only paid for dinner.
00:33:23I had homework.
00:33:25Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy
00:33:29has quite the temper.
00:33:30Serena,
00:33:30can you please just stop?
00:33:32What?
00:33:33Teasing the help.
00:33:40That's her.
00:33:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:42Was she like
00:33:44the maid or something?
00:34:01Oh my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying you live with Charles.
00:34:06Oh,
00:34:06and Serena.
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well,
00:34:09apparently she told everyone
00:34:10you were caught
00:34:10sneaking into his room.
00:34:11Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful,
00:34:26Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:28Come to the music room.
00:34:46Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered
00:34:48I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah,
00:34:50okay.
00:34:51Hello.

00:35:53Okay.
00:35:55Rooks move in straight lines.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58Bishops move diagonally.
00:36:00And knights...
00:36:00The knight's a weird one.
00:36:07Rooks.
00:36:09Straight lines.
00:36:11Bishops.
00:36:13Diagonally.

00:47:00in a good way
00:47:01Charles Kenwood
00:47:03and Alice Keaton
00:47:04would you mind giving us a short summary
00:47:07she loves the sound of her own voice
00:47:09better have it
00:47:11our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:47:23like logic and chaos
00:47:25or silence and noise
00:47:27different worlds
00:47:29different rules
00:47:30at first glance
00:47:33they clash
00:47:34but what makes the story interesting
00:47:37is what happens next
00:47:38confusion
00:47:39curiosity
00:47:40but in the end
00:47:42some stories aren't about staying

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