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 a boss.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:20He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Breathe in room before opening your mouth.
00:00:25American.
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!
00:00:40We 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.
00:00:50You didn't have to come.
00:00:52Don'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.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:36I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Got a daydream running through my brain every day.
00:01:51Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:55World to poor, but I'm sick anyway.
00:01:59I want to 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, a new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:22Now, there's a spot, next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles' case, Sherry.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God, what is she?
00:02:31Quiet, Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:02:45Charles, move your things.
00:02:57I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:03:00From what?
00:03:01Sleeping.
00:03:02From everything.
00:03:03If anything, Charles, Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
00:03:07She was top of her class at her previous school.
00:03:10With all due respect, sir, her 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 Golding.
00:03:27You got it.
00:03:28I'm Sherry Vaughan.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:30It's very important that we look at the UNT team.
00:03:33What do you think about their experience of the time?
00:03:40Wait, you 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 past me.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:48Can everyone stop acting like the goal was 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?
00:04:07His 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, cold, thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated, like he's faking out.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:37What?
00:04:38No, go on.
00:04:39You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:56Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:05:02We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:06Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:25Anything exciting, Captain?
00:05:27Not really.
00:05:28Super uneventful.
00:05:29Really?
00:05:30How's 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.
00:05:40The young master.
00:05:42This is your boss's house.
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:47That's incredible.
00:05:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:50It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:55Wait here.
00:05:56I'll talk to the butler.

00:10:38so you're worried about her
00:10:40you're overthinking
00:10:41i just don't like drama
00:10:43asshole
00:10:50who
00:10:51morning class
00:10:54back to golding
00:10:56remind me what he's saying through lord of the flies
00:10:59mr kenwood
00:11:05care to share what you found so amusing
00:11:08not particularly
00:11:09oh i insist
00:11:11you seem very entertained by golding
00:11:13i'm not entertained by golding sir
00:11:16on the contrary
00:11:18i think his ending is
00:11:20weak
00:11:22wait wait
00:11:24you actually read it
00:11:25quiet
00:11:26that's an interesting take
00:11:29explain
00:11:30he had the setup for something brutal
00:11:34something honest
00:11:36in the end
00:11:37he backed out
00:11:38he could have left the boys on the island
00:11:40forced them to confront the collapse of all morality
00:11:42let them choose survival
00:11:44or death
00:11:45but instead
00:11:47he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:48slapped a happily ever after
00:11:50on a book about savagery
00:11:52it's a waste
00:11:56don't you think
00:11:57i'm delightfully surprised charles
00:11:59didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:12:02i'm always a model student sir
00:12:04let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:06so
00:12:09a critique of golding's mercy
00:12:12anyone disagree
00:12:13i think golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:12:32it's not mercy
00:12:33it's irony
00:12:34how so
00:12:35the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:12:40you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:12:43golding didn't save them
00:12:45he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:12:48that's an interesting take misketon
00:12:50you still think it's a harsh critique
00:12:52in some ways
00:12:54but not harsh enough
00:12:55yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:59but still golding sympathize with them
00:13:02and the civilized world
00:13:04toxic
00:13:05violent
00:13:05he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:13:07so yeah
00:13:08i don't think golding pushed far enough
00:13:09but i think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:12thank you miss keaton
00:13:17well said
00:13:18anyone else
00:13:20both opinions are valid
00:13:24okay
00:13:24that's kind of epic
00:13:26golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:29good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:33what's happening to me
00:13:37okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me
00:13:45well you're new
00:13:47and apparently had a thing with charles
00:13:50a what now
00:13:51you two are in the middle of the most epic feud after it's seen in years
00:13:55we're not even fighting
00:13:56well according to everyone

00:14:05you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:14:08and stormed out in tears

00:14:15doesn't matter
00:14:17people believe what they want to believe

00:17:24What are you doing here?
00:17:28Can you get off me first?
00:17:33Did I ask for two months?
00:17:37Isn't my fault I thought we would pray.
00:17:40You're welcome.
00:17:42I didn't say thank you.
00:17:44I figured saving your life might turn 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.
00:18:14Someone did this on purpose.
00:18:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:18:20Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:18:21You shouldn't have to.
00:18:25I'm sorry.
00:18:34Sorry.
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.
00:18:47Alice?
00:18:48Over here.
00:18:49Oh my god.
00:18:52You okay?
00:18:55Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57I just took a weird shower.
00:18:59Top exploded.
00:19:02Come on.
00:19:03Let's go you home.
00:19:04Let's go.
00:19:04Let's go.
00:19:05Let's go.
00:19:06Let's go.
00:19:07Let's go.
00:19:08Let's go.
00:19:09Let's go.
00:19:10Let's go.
00:19:11Let's go.
00:19:12Let's go.
00:19:13Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:17I heard she staged the whole thing for attention.
00:19:19I know how this place works.
00:19:31I know how this place works.
00:19:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:48I'll look into it.
00:19:50I'll look into it.
00:19:52Charles?
00:19:54Good on you.
00:19:56How many here would speak up?
00:20:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:20:04That's insane.
00:20:05And where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:20:07They're busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:20:10Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:20:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:20:18Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:20:33Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:20:35Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:20:37But sometimes being here means standing behind and watching Ashford elites go on a two week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:47Well, when you are ill, you know.
00:20:48Has it a good year, like a college student has its perks?
00:20:50Like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates?
00:20:56Hey! We miss you in Paris.
00:20:57Are there enough Americans to remind us of you?
00:21:00Oh, no I'm sorry.
00:21:01But sometimes being here means standing behind and watching Ashford elites go on a two week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:21:05More priced and unnecessary.
00:21:11The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:21:17So yeah, I didn't go.
00:21:35What are you doing here?
00:21:41Do you not believe in shirts?
00:21:42Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:45It's comfortable.
00:21:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:21:49This is not even your kitchen.
00:21:50And this is not even your house, and yet you're here, dressed like this.
00:21:56Just don't look.
00:21:57Go away.
00:21:58Hard not to.
00:21:59You're walking around dressed like that.
00:22:01What do you guys call it?
00:22:03Buzzkill, cock block.
00:22:06You're insufferable.
00:22:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:22:10You know what?
00:22:11I don't get it.
00:22:12Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:22:13I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing.
00:22:15Why do you think?
00:22:22Where would I go?
00:22:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:22:27Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian.
00:22:32Or Titian, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:22:37Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing
00:22:41city on earth.
00:22:42Next stop, Napoli, marvel at Pompeii, pretend you're shocked.
00:22:47Ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:49The final stop, Paris, the ultimate city of romance.
00:22:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:23:01That's word for word.
00:23:04I told you.
00:23:05I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:23:07OK, but still, it's Europe.
00:23:10Most 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.
00:23:25Wow.
00:23:26Some 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 don't have to come.
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:58Master Charles, roads are flooded.
00:24:00Staff won't make it tonight.
00:24:01Will you be all right sorting dinner?
00:24:06I've got it sorted.
00:24:10Let's go.
00:24:11Jesus!
00:24:19What are you doing?
00:24:20Relax.
00:24:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:24:25What deal?
00:24:26You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:24:31You'll survive.
00:24:33I'm not selling my body.
00:24:35I'm not selling my body.
00:24:45Wow, I am deeply offended.
00:24:49That thought disgusts me.
00:24:51Then what are you doing?
00:24:52The staff's off tonight.
00:24:54I'm buying dinner.
00:24:58Did you seriously think I'd spend £100 on...
00:25:00No, I...
00:25:01Jesus.
00:25:03Wait.
00:25:04You think I'm not worth £100?
00:25:08I'm not spending £100 to snort you back up.
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled.
00:25:16Are you sure about that?
00:25:19I present to you.
00:25:21Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:25:24You're welcome.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:27Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:25:31It's...
00:25:32Good.
00:25:33Was that a compliment?
00:25:41Although...
00:25:41I am obliged to inform you.
00:25:44Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:25:46It's American.
00:25:47And 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'm going to make sure you're right.
00:26:24Hey, Alice.
00:26:25It's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:27You're fine.
00:26:279-1-1, what's with your emergency?
00:26:419-1-1, what's with your emergency?
00:26:42It's my dad.
00:26:43He needs help.
00:26:44He just had a stroke.

00:38:40You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:47One, two, three, four...
00:38:52Are you okay?
00:39:09You're distracting.
00:39:21You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies and we're secretly married.
00:39:30Honestly?
00:39:31Very.
00:39:39It's ever gonna be the thing I need. They all just let me down.
00:39:42But baby, you saved me.
00:39:45Until I'm brand new.
00:39:48Everything's so different now.
00:39:52So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:56Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:58Because it's weird.
00:40:00And I like weird.
00:40:09Check.
00:40:16You're cheating.
00:40:17I'm winning.
00:40:18There's a difference.
00:40:19You are very distracting.
00:40:22And you like it.
00:40:33Charles!
00:40:35We need to talk.
00:40:39I expected poor judgement.
00:40:46But this in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:49No.
00:40:51Kissing the servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:54Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:56We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:59Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:02She isn't just...
00:41:04You have no right to barge in.
00:41:06On my property.
00:41:08I care about her.
00:41:12I'm not ashamed of that.
00:41:13That's enough!
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:18We're protecting our son's future.
00:41:20And our name.
00:41:22You think this protects me?
00:41:24We think she does not belong in your world.
00:41:27Then maybe I don't either.
00:41:28You're ready to give up everything.
00:41:29For a girl you barely know?
00:41:30Yes.
00:41:31Then...
00:41:32Are you sure...
00:41:33She's ready?
00:41:34I'm not sure.
00:41:35You're ready to give up everything.
00:41:36You're ready to give up everything.
00:41:37For a girl you barely know?
00:41:38Yes.
00:41:39Then...
00:41:40Are you sure...
00:41:41She's ready?
00:41:42I'm asking you.
00:41:43Do you think she's ready?
00:41:44Do you think she's ready?
00:41:45To lose everything regardless of how little that is?
00:41:46Just to be with you.
00:41:47What are you talking about?
00:41:48You left us no choice, son.
00:41:49You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:50Pelton...
00:41:51It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:52Ah...
00:41:53Mr. Kenwood, how can I help?
00:41:54Do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:02You left us no choice, son. You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:08Pelton, it's Frederick Kenwood.
00:42:11Ah, Mr. Kenwood. How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student would violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant a review?
00:42:22Yes, sir.
00:42:27So, answer me again. Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:42:45Charles, what happened? Did your parents say something? Are they mad? Is everything okay?
00:42:50Pack your things.
00:42:53You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:55What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother. She's leaving. So are you.
00:43:01Wait, what? Why? Is it because of us? We can fix this. I'll get a job, anything.
00:43:06Stop, stop it. You don't get it.
00:43:07If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off. Okay? No card, no trust, no support. Nothing.
00:43:17Then, then we'll figure it out. We don't need all that.
00:43:21Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was? Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:35Nothing. They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:44Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:50You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:43:53What did they threaten you with?
00:44:00What did they threaten you with?
00:44:02This is the difference between me and you.
00:44:04What?
00:44:05You think you know me or what I have.
00:44:09You don't, Alice.
00:44:11You're still lying.
00:44:12I'm not, Alice.
00:44:14Look around you.
00:44:15This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:44:18It's my house.
00:44:20My world.
00:44:22I was bored into this.
00:44:23I am not choosing between this
00:44:26and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:31Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:36You don't mean it.
00:44:37It was fun.
00:44:39But did you?
00:44:41You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:44I'll survive the loss.
00:44:48Right.
00:44:51I should have known.
00:44:54Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:44:59You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:45:01Go to sleep, Alice.
00:45:04Go to sleep, Alice.
00:45:15This fall is a little more than I expected
00:45:19In so deep I can barely see myself
00:45:24Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted
00:45:31But I find that's the place to test myself
00:45:37Oops
00:45:46Oops
00:45:47Oh, sorry
00:45:51Oh, sorry
00:46:05Didn't see that
00:46:07Then again, nobody does
00:46:09Move, please
00:46:10Hmm
00:46:11Try begging
00:46:13You know what, keep it
00:46:20Poor thing
00:46:26So dramatic
00:46:27Don't
00:46:29Excuse me
00:46:31I warned you
00:46:32Walk away, Serena
00:46:34Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:46:58But one pair surprised me
00:47:00In a good way
00:47:02Charles Kenwood
00:47:03And Alice Keaton
00:47:05Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:07She loves the sound of her own voice
00:47:09Better have it
00:47:10I couldn't stay
00:47:11I couldn't wait
00:47:12I thought that you should know that I would have
00:47:17Can hang around
00:47:18Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:47:23Like logic and chaos or silence and noise
00:47:27Different worlds
00:47:28Different worlds
00:47:29Different roles
00:47:30At first glance, they clash
00:47:34But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:47:38Confusion
00:47:39Curiosity
00:47:40But in the end, some stories aren't about staying
00:47:43And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:46And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:57And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:48:00Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:05Miss Keaton
00:48:07Dramatic as always
00:48:09Alright
00:48:10Thank you, Alice
00:48:11That was
00:48:13Later
00:48:15Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder
00:48:17That good literature
00:48:19Always stirs something
00:48:23Hello
00:48:24Hi, here's Alice Keaton
00:48:25This is Whitmore Press
00:48:26We've been following your work
00:48:27We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract
00:48:30Name your price
00:48:31We'll make it work
00:48:32Sorry, what?
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:43That's...
00:48:44Kind of...
00:48:45Insane
00:48:46Who's behind this?
00:48:47Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:48:49Can...
00:48:50Can I meet them?
00:48:52Can I meet them?
00:48:53I want to
00:48:55Please
00:48:56Please
00:48:57Or at least tell me a name
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay in office
00:49:04So they're only interested in words, not the person
00:49:06I'd really like to meet them
00:49:07I'm sorry to meet them
00:49:08They were very good
00:49:09I think the most generous offer we've ever given a Disney roster
00:49:12I see
00:49:14I see
00:49:15Congratulations again
00:49:20You got the interview
00:49:21It's just an interview
00:49:22I haven't gotten it yet
00:49:23Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:49:26That's iconic
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:38Yeah
00:49:40I'm so excited
00:49:54It's done, Mr. Kenwood
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:49:58Good
00:49:59It's a generous deal
00:50:00You sure you don't want her to know?
00:50:03No
00:50:05No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:50:07I will be before you be
00:50:12I'll be there in your darkest days
00:50:16Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to
00:50:27Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:50:33And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:50:38It's all coming together beautifully
00:50:43I've lost my appetite
00:50:48I'll go check on him
00:50:54What's your problem, Charles?
00:50:59This engagement
00:51:01It's not happening
00:51:02It's not up to you, you know that
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this
00:51:05You've changed
00:51:07You've changed
00:51:11Or maybe I've finally just stopped pretending
00:51:13I've just stopped pretending
00:51:15No
00:51:16No
00:51:21No
00:51:22No
00:51:24No
00:51:26No
00:51:27No
00:51:30No
00:51:32No
00:51:33Charles, you're the sponsor.
00:51:45You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:50So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:54I protected her.
00:51:57You loved her.
00:52:00Still do.
00:52:00Let it go, Serena.
00:52:05There's no point.
00:52:15I 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?
00:52:28No?
00:52:28She'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?
00:53:00Chill, 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!
00:53:16I remember how men...
00:53:24I remember how men...
00:53:25I remember how men...
00:53:29I remember how I met, didn't need a second guess.
00:53:50Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me.
00:53:59Alice!
00:54:00Alice!
00:54:01You're awake?
00:54:06Where, where am I?
00:54:10A local clinic.
00:54:12Passerby brought you in.
00:54:14Passerby?
00:54:15He found you on the side of the road.
00:54:18He had to leave, he didn't leave a name.
00:54:21Oh.
00:54:23The interview, what time is it?
00:54:25Easy, it's okay.
00:54:27Someone already contacted the university and sent in your writing samples.
00:54:31They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:54:33Wait, what, who?
00:54:34No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:54:37What did you say?
00:54:41Nothing.
00:54:42I just had a dream.
00:54:48I got him!
00:54:49Oh, I knew it.
00:54:50Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:54:55He's not here.
00:54:56Oh, you didn't know?
00:54:57Know what?
00:54:58He left a few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:55:02Honestly, Asher has been quieter without him.
00:55:03It's probably for the best.
00:55:04Come on.
00:55:05I couldn't stay.
00:55:06I couldn't wait.
00:55:07I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:55:09Hang around.
00:55:10Hang around.
00:55:11Hang around.
00:55:12Hang around.
00:55:13Hang around.
00:55:14Hang around.
00:55:15Oh, I knew it.
00:55:16Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:55:17He's not here.
00:55:18Oh, you didn't know?
00:55:19Know what?
00:55:20He left.
00:55:21A few days ago, yeah.
00:55:22I couldn't stay.
00:55:23I couldn't wait.
00:55:24I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:55:29Hang around.
00:55:31The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud.
00:55:35Chaotic.
00:55:36Unexpected.
00:55:38And with his absence.
00:55:42Come on.
00:55:43It ended quietly.
00:55:46Like summers always do.
00:55:50And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:56:09Thank you for having me.
00:56:11No, 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.
00:56:25A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working.
00:56:30Not even a single date.
00:56:32Let me guess a bird named Shiri.
00:56:33She caught me.
00:56:34Still no comment.
00:56:35All right.
00:56:36All right.
00:56:37No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:56:42If you're so real.
00:56:43Because once, I did.
00:56:44With someone who felt like chaos and clarity.
00:56:45That's why today when you're sharing the story behind Alice Keaton.
00:56:46And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:56:51And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:57:06Congratulations, Alice.
00:57:07The numbers just came in.
00:57:09You broke your own record.
00:57:11That's incredible.
00:57:13We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:57:18Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:57:21I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:57:26My sponsor.
00:57:27You're sure?
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29Just once.
00:57:30Tonight, 7pm.
00:57:44Good evening.
00:57:49Good evening.
00:57:52May I sit?
00:58:02Hi.
00:58:04Hi.
00:58:07You look well.
00:58:10And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:58:14You always did.
00:58:16You were expecting someone else.
00:58:19I was.
00:58:21Hoping.
00:58:23But I guess I always knew.
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you.
00:58:28Or to reopen anything.
00:58:31I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:58:33Oh, thank you.
00:58:34I didn't know you were still reading.
00:58:43You were rich enough not to do so.
00:58:44Always.
00:58:45Either way, your sponsorship started my career.
00:58:49So...
00:58:50No, you...
00:58:51No, you...
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, I hope.
00:59:09Charles.
00:59:10I hope.
00:59:11Charles.
00:59:12Can you just...
00:59:14Wait a little longer.
00:59:16I think I knew it was you.
00:59:25There was one email.
00:59:28You said something.
00:59:30It felt familiar.
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kind of had that rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:59:36Very on brand.
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:59:39Too 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...
00:59:56Not really.
00:59:58You haven't changed.
01:00:00But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
01:00:05Anyway.
01:00:07I wanted to say...
01:00:11And...
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.
01:00:39If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
01:00:57No.
01:00:58I see.
01:00:59I know my answer now.
01:01:00I didn't have the power back then.
01:01:02Long enough to protect you.
01:01:03I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
01:01:04Because of my name.
01:01:05My family.
01:01:07I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:01:09So you just disappeared.
01:01:10Without a word.
01:01:11If you had the chance to see the world.
01:01:12Without me weighing you down.
01:01:13If you still chose.
01:01:14Without a word.
01:01:15If you had the chance to see the world.
01:01:16Without me weighing you down.
01:01:17If you still chose.
01:01:18Without a word.
01:01:20If you still chose me.
01:01:33You kept saying.
01:01:46But you made a choice for me.
01:01:51Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:01:54I would have chosen you anyway?
01:02:03I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:02:06You weren't.
01:02:09But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:02:16This 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.
01:02:44Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:45Yeah.
01:02:46You'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,
01:03:08stop quoting yourself.
01:03:20I recycle.
01:03:21It saves energy.
01:03:22I'm still in love with you.
01:03:23I'm still in love with you.
01:03:24This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer.
01:03:27You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:03:30I said that.
01:03:31Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:03:33I'm still in love with you.
01:03:35You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:03:37I'm still in love with you.
01:04:01that you're the worst enemies or secretly married.
01:04:03And I told you, they're both.
01:04:31I vow to always tell you the truth, except for when you ask how your cooking was, then I lie, respectfully.
01:04:40I vow to keep choosing you, loudly, quietly, always, even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:04:53Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean, he did beat her at Sarkis.
01:05:01I vow to argue with you at least twice a week, especially over Shakespeare.
01:05:06I vow to write you into every story, even when I say I didn't.
01:05:11You will always be part of my life.
01:05:14If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:05:17No you're not, you're gonna cry harder.
01:05:31I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:05:45Such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:05:48Guard your phone.
01:05:49Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:05:56You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:05:59Please, Alice, go change.
01:06:01Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:06:03No.
01:06:04No, no, no, no, no.
01:06:05That is not an invitation to, do not take off these clothes.
01:06:06Overruled.
01:06:07You look much better without them.
01:06:08To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:06:12Sometimes I wanna be on my own, but I don't wanna die alone, but I don't wanna die alone.
01:06:37Oh God.
01:06:38Oh God.
01:06:39Oh God.
01:06:40Oh God.
01:06:41Oh my God.
01:06:42Oh god.
01:06:43Oh my God.
01:06:44Oh my God.
01:06:45Oh my God.
01:06:46I'll be like cold by the morning.
01:06:48Oh my God.
01:06:49Oopsie.
01:06:50Oh my God.
01:06:51Oh my God.
01:06:52Oh my God.
01:06:53Oh my God.
01:06:55Okay.
01:06:56Okay.
01:06:57Okay.
01:06:58Okay.
01:06:59It's up to us, to make sure that we can gain what's been done.
01:07:06can gain what's been passed through these books. Help us develop, learn, and grow.
