Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:13We're talking about the king of Ashton's.
00:00:15He's cool.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:19He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Read the 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 for yourself.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:36I'm stuck in space.
00:01:37Got a day dream running through my brain every day.
00:01:51Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:55World to war about all the day anyway.
00:01:59I want to say goodbye.
00:02:02I 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.
00:02:22Ah, there's a spot.
00:02:23Next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles keeps sharing.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God.
00:02:30What is she?
00:02:32Quiet.
00:02:33Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But in that moment,
00:02:43I forgot them all.
00:02:54Charles, move your things.
00:02:57I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:03:00From what?
00:03:01Sleeping.
00:03:03From everything.
00:03:04If anything, Charles,
00:03:05Miss 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,
00:03:12her 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 you.
00:03:33What do you think about their 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.
00:03:44Ah, knew it.
00:03:45Don't take it personally.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:48Can everyone stop acting like the goal is 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...
00:03:58Honor.
00:03:59He's not my type.
00:04:00You're joking.
00:04:01I don't find bullies attractive.
00:04:02Hey!
00:04:03Be careful.
00:04:04You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:04:07The what?
00:04:08His family basically own the school.
00:04:10And the town.
00:04:11Maybe even the country.
00:04:13Yeah.
00:04:14Everyone's tried to get close.
00:04:15No one can get past his ego.
00:04:17You'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 at all.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:40What?
00:04:41No, go on.
00:04:42You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:56Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:05:04We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:12Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:26Anything exciting, Cap'n?
00:05:27Not really. Super uneventful.
00:05:30Really?
00:05:32How was your new job?
00:05:33Yeah, all right.
00:05:34Get this?
00:05:35They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:05:37Seriously?
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?
00:05:49I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:51It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:59Wait here.
00:06:00I'll talk to the butler.
00:06:06Wow, rich people.
00:06:08You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:14Stephen King.
00:06:16First edition.
00:06:27Breaking and entering now.
00:06:29How American of you.
00:06:30I...
00:06:31You've been paying rent here in my head.
00:06:44Try to fight it off.
00:06:52You can get up now.
00:06:53I...
00:06:54I'm trying.
00:06:56Wait!
00:06:58Are you serious?
00:07:00Well, you said you were trying.
00:07:03What is wrong with you?
00:07:05Funny.
00:07:06I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:07:08What are you doing in my house?
00:07:10You...
00:07:12Wait.
00:07:14Your house?
00:07:15My house.
00:07:16My library.
00:07:17And now, apparently...
00:07:19My unwanted guest.
00:07:22Ah, Master Charles.
00:07:24You must be Miss Alice.
00:07:25Anne's daughter.
00:07:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:07:28She what?
00:07:29There...
00:07:30There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:07:32You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:07:35Is that so?
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:37I'm not staying here.
00:07:38Like, at all.
00:07:39That's a shame.
00:07:40Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:07:41Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:07:45Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:07:49Come on, Alice.
00:07:51You must stay.
00:07:54It'll be...
00:07:56Fun.
00:07:58My dear...
00:07:59Classmate.
00:08:01I'm dead.
00:08:02Like, mentally.
00:08:03Socially.
00:08:05And actually dead.
00:08:12Just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:08:17Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:08:20You've been through hell.
00:08:24Actually, no.
00:08:27This is hell.
00:08:30It's Asia.
00:08:31Hi.
00:08:32Good morning.
00:08:39Wow.
00:08:47Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:49Well, f***ing doesn't know.
00:08:51That's often closed for months.
00:08:53She's going to be late.
00:08:54I don't know.
00:08:55I don't know.
00:08:56I don't know.
00:08:57I don't know.
00:08:59Okay.
00:09:00How long is this thing going to 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.
00:09:12Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:14What?
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:16Didn't you already leave?
00:09:18Wait.
00:09:19Did you come back for me?
00:09:20Relax.
00:09:22I forgot my textbook.
00:09:23Don't flatter yourself.
00:09:24Wait.
00:09:26Since you're already here, maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:09:33No.
00:09:34Seriously?
00:09:35Your car is huge.
00:09:37Yeah.
00:09:38And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:09:39Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:09:48Unbelievable!
00:09:51Yeah, and I'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who forced me to live in his house
00:10:04Unbelievable
00:10:13Ashford Institute, please. Thank you
00:10:16Who needs an entitled brat anyway? Sir, you called the cab. Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:31Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift? And have the whole school go crazy
00:10:35She's new
00:10:37Everybody's already talking. So you're worried about her? You're overthinking. I just don't like drama
00:10:46Asshole
00:10:50Who?
00:10:53Morning, Klaus
00:10:54Back to Golding. Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:59Mr. Kenwood, care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:08Not particularly
00:11:09Oh, I insist. You seem very entertained by Golding
00:11:13I'm not entertained by Golding, sir. On the contrary
00:11:18On the contrary, I think his ending is
00:11:21weak
00:11:23Wait, wait, you wish you read it?
00:11:25Quiet
00:11:27That's an interesting take. Explain
00:11:29He had the set up for something brutal
00:11:34Something honest
00:11:35In the end, he backed out
00:11:38He could have left the boys on the island
00:11:40Forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability
00:11:42Let them choose survival
00:11:44Or death
00:11:45But instead, he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:48Slaps a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:11:55It'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
00:12:06I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:12:32It's not mercy, it's irony
00:12:35How so?
00:12:38The 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, Miss Keaton
00:12:50You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:53In some ways, but not harsh enough
00:12:55Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:59But still, Golding sympathized with them
00:13:02And the civilized world?
00:13:04Toxic, violent, he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:13:07So yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough
00:13:09But I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:16Thank you, Miss Keaton
00:13:18Well said
00:13:19Anyone else?
00:13:22Both opinions are valid
00:13:24Okay, that's kind of epic
00:13:26Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:30Good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:35What's happening to me?
00:13:42Okay, what is going on?
00:13:44Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well, you're new
00:13:48And apparently had a thing with Charles
00:13:50A what now?
00:13:51You two are in the middle of this epic feud
00:13:54I should have seen in years
00:13:55We're not even fighting
00:13:56Well, according to everyone
00:13:58You confessed your love on day one
00:14:00Got rejected
00:14:00Begged to sit next to him
00:14:03Got rejected again
00:14:04And today in class
00:14:06You broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:14:09And stormed out in tears
00:14:12You were there, Sherry
00:14:13That is not what happened
00:14:16Doesn't matter
00:14:17People believe what they want to believe
00:14:19And they want Charles to be flawless
00:14:21Untouchable
00:14:23Wow
00:14:24Is massage any like a rich kid thing
00:14:26Or just a British specialty?
00:14:27Honestly, both
00:14:30But seriously, Alice
00:14:32Some people already see you as a threat
00:14:41Okay
00:14:42Loaded
00:14:44Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:14:49Hello?
00:15:04Hello?
00:15:06Is somebody out there?
00:15:09Oh, come on!
00:15:09Come on!
00:15:23Fine
00:15:23Seriously?
00:15:41Oh, shit
00:15:47What the hell?
00:15:49Anne
00:15:50I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:15:52She hasn't come home
00:15:53Her phone is off
00:15:54Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:58Yikes
00:16:00Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:16:08Shit
00:16:14Alice!
00:16:15Alice!
00:16:15Mr. Pelton, Charles Kenwood here
00:16:18I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton
00:16:21She hasn't come home
00:16:22I'll have it sent over
00:16:24Check the common room in the library
00:16:26I'll take the rest
00:16:30Alice!
00:16:30Come on, Alice
00:16:43Come on, Alice
00:16:46Close your eyes and jump
00:16:48It's fine
00:16:50You're fine
00:16:51Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:17:14Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:17:16Are you happy with how we ended?
00:17:24What are you doing here?
00:17:29Can you get off me first?
00:17:30Oh, so sad
00:17:33Did I ask for two months
00:17:37Isn't my fault I thought we were part
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
00:17:59You wouldn't recommend it
00:18:00You're heavier than you look
00:18:04I hope you pull your shoulder
00:18:11Are you okay?
00:18:11No
00:18:13But I will be
00:18:16Someone 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
00:18:27Sorry
00:18:29Did 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
00:18:52You okay?
00:18:55Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah, I just
00:18:58Took a weird shower
00:18:59Top exploded
00:19:02Come on, let's go
00:19:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:17I heard she staged the whole thing for attention
00:19:19I know how this place works
00:19:31If you don't do anything about it
00:19:33If you don't do anything about it
00:19:47It's only going to get worse
00:19:49I'll look into it
00:19:50Charles
00:19:54Good on you
00:19:56How many of you would speak up?
00:20:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in
00:20:04That'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, he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:20:36Being a scholarship student has its perks
00:20:39Like saving a fortune on tuition
00:20:41And getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates
00:20:46Hey, we miss you in Paris
00:20:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you
00:20:51But sometimes
00:20:53Being here means standing behind
00:20:55And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:20:59You can never afford
00:21:00Have fun
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary
00:21:11The 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
00:21:30What are you doing here? Do 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
00:21:58When you're walking around dressed like that
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:03Buzzkill?
00:22:04Cockblock
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?
00:22:15How would I go?
00:22:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep
00:22:26Florence
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
00:22:39And getting lost in the most confusing city on earth
00:22:42Next stop, Napoli
00:22:44Marvel at Pompeii
00:22:45Pretend you're shocked
00:22:47Ancient people had plumbing
00:22:48The final stop, Harry
00:22:51The ultimate city of romance
00:22:54And naturally, Woody Allen's favorite 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
00:23:07Okay, 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
00:23:25Wow
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 didn'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 alright sorting dinner?
00:24:02I've got it sorted
00:24:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:24:20Relax
00:24:21I'm here to make a deal
00:24:24What 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
00:24:41Wow, 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 pounds on
00:25:00No, I'm
00:25:01Jesus
00:25:03Wait
00:25:05You think I'm not worth 100 pounds?
00:25:07I'm not spending 100 pounds to snort Chewbacca
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
00:25:23And french fries
00:25:24You're welcome
00:25:25Interesting combo
00:25:27Well, I know we're not in Italy or France
00:25:28But this'll do
00:25:30It's
00:25:32Good
00:25:37It's
00:25:39Was that a compliment?
00:25:41Although
00:25:42I am obliged to inform you
00:25:44Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian
00:25:46It's American
00:25:47And french fries
00:25:48Likely 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
00:26:00You make it very easy
00:26:02It's only easy because it costs 200 pounds
00:26:04You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you
00:26:08I'll make sure I'm not fine
00:26:24Hey Alice, it's fine
00:26:26You're fine
00:26:279-1-1, what's for your emergency?
00:26:409-1-1, what's for 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
00:26:47Shut down
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can
00:26:49It's easy
00:26:50He's not well
00:26:50I understand
00:26:52Can you confirm your address?
00:26:55Daddy
00:26:56Yes, I'm right here
00:26:57Alright
00:26:59My daughter
00:27:00Please stay with me, Dad
00:27:02Please
00:27:07No
00:27:09Please wake up
00:27:14Dad, please
00:27:16Please don't leave me
00:27:26What are you doing here?
00:27:49You, what are you doing here?
00:27:51You were crying
00:27:58Loudly
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore
00:28:02Right
00:28:03Sorry for the noise
00:28:05Wait
00:28:06No snarky comeback?
00:28:08Not tonight
00:28:09I'm too tired
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out
00:28:12You were calling for your dad
00:28:14You were calling for your dad
00:28:16Right?
00:28:18Hurricane hit New York
00:28:20Power went down
00:28:21Traffic froze
00:28:24Dad had a stroke
00:28:24But he couldn't get help in time
00:28:30I sat there
00:28:31With a candle
00:28:33While 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
00:28:54We had nowhere else to go
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:01Come on
00:29:22Wait
00:29:23I thought the power was out
00:29:25It 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
00:29:49This
00:29:51Is your home
00:29:53Alice Keaton
00:29:59Careful
00:30:01Almost sounded sweet
00:30:03Don't push it
00:30:03Okay then
00:30:07I have
00:30:09One request
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:13Are 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
00:30:29And 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 does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:50For the 10th time
00:30:51It moves in an L shape
00:30:54One
00:30:55Two
00:30:56Then turn
00:30:58There
00:31:00Happy
00:31:00Ectatic
00:31:01Ectatic
00:31:04Suicide
00:31:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice
00:31:07You are playing checkers at a chessboard
00:31:09I'm still beating you in sarcasm
00:31:11You literally haven't won any past arguments
00:31:13Golding disagrees
00:31:15It's going to be a long night
00:31:16Oh my
00:31:17No
00:31:17Why?
00:31:18What's going to do that?
00:31:18You can't do that
00:31:19You can't do that
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Can I not do that?
00:31:22There we go
00:31:42Maybe he's not so awful after all
00:31:48What are you doing here?
00:32:00Well your 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 reconnect
00:32:30You know
00:32:31Considering the engagement
00:32:32And all
00:32:36Oh
00:32:37Did 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 you know
00:32:52Oh
00:32:53An American
00:32:55How
00:32:56Refreshing
00:33:00Goodbye
00:33:01Wait
00:33:03Where are you going?
00:33:19You still owe me breakfast
00:33:21You only paid for dinner
00:33:23I have homework
00:33:25Goodbye
00:33:28Your little toy has quite the temper
00:33:30Serena
00:33:30Can you please just stop?
00:33:32What?
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 the maid or something?
00:34:01Oh my god
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying you live with Charles
00:34:05Oh and Serena
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room
00:34:12Of course she did
00:34:26Careful Alice
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate
00:34:29Mom
00:34:40Yeah
00:34:41Can you help me?
00:34:41What's that?
00:34:42I know it's
00:34:421066
00:34:43It's better
00:34:44Come to the music room
00:34:45Urgent
00:34:46Um
00:34:47I just remembered
00:34:48I need to check something
00:34:49You guys go ahead
00:34:50Yeah?
00:34:50Okay
00:34:51Hello! Is someone there? Seriously! This is getting old!
00:35:14Wait. Music room? What?
00:35:17James? Is anybody in here earlier? Just Miss Serena. Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir? Sir, it's raining!
00:35:39Come on, Alice. You're fine. You're not that girl again.
00:35:47Wait. Can you remind me one more time?
00:35:53Okay. Rooks move in straight lines. Bishops move diagonally. And knights...
00:36:00A knight? The knight's the weird one.
00:36:07Rooks. Straight lines. New ships. Diagonally. Hello?
00:36:15Hello?
00:36:21The text?
00:36:23Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:36:24I... I'm okay. I... I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:29I... I... I didn't see the message. Serena took my phone. I... I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:36:46I'm... okay. You're gonna catch a cold. You're freezing. You didn't have to come.
00:36:53Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:58Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:05That wasn't a mistake. If that's what you're about to say.
00:37:26I... I... wasn't going to.
00:37:41I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:43What? Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46My bad.
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:10Oh, you wish.
00:38:12Seriously. It's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me. That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:27Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:38:30You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays. The list is on the board.
00:38:47One, two, three, four...
00:38:49Paper planes.
00:38:52Are you okay?
00:38:53Fly me to outer space.
00:38:57That's where I'll see your face.
00:39:02And have you with me.
00:39:08It may seem dark.
00:39:11But you always like my spark.
00:39:14You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:39:30Honestly?
00:39:31Brave.
00:39:32I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:40They 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 knight 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.
00:40:10You'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.
00:40:40I expected poor judgement.
00:40:46But this in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:50No.
00:40:52Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:55Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:57We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:41:00Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:03She isn't just...
00:41:05You have no right to barge in.
00:41:07On my property.
00:41:11I care about her.
00:41:13I'm not ashamed of that.
00:41:14That's enough!
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:19We're protecting our son's future.
00:41:21And our name.
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:25We think she does not belong in your world.
00:41:31Then maybe I don't either.
00:41:35You're ready to give up everything.
00:41:37For a girl you barely know.
00:41:38You barely know.
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:43Then...
00:41:44Are you sure...
00:41:46She's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you.
00:41:54Do you think she's ready?
00:41:56To lose everything regardless of how little that is.
00:41:59Just to be with you.
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:02You left us no choice, son.
00:42:04You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:08Pelton.
00:42:10It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:42:12Ah, Mr. Kenwood. How can I help?
00:42:14If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant a review?
00:42:22Yes, sir.
00:42:24So, answer me again.
00:42:26Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:42:32Charles, what happened? Did your parents say something? Are they mad? Is everything okay?
00:42:36Pack your things.
00:42:37You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:38What?
00:42:39My parents fired your mother. She's leaving. So are you.
00:42:40Wait...
00:42:52Why?
00:42:54Is it because of us? We can fix this. I'll get a job, anything...
00:42:58Stop it, stop it, you don't get it.
00:43:01If I don't walk away from this, you're not gonna understand.
00:43:03If I get to be your parents, then I can't bust up a Harper's head.
00:43:06Stop, stop it. You don't get it.
00:43:08If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:43:12Okay?
00:43:13No card, no trust, no support.
00:43:17Nothing.
00:43:17Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:43:20We 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.
00:43:30Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:36Nothing.
00:43:41They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:47Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:49You 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.
00:44:17It's my house.
00:44:18It's my house.
00:44:20My world.
00:44:21I was bored into this.
00:44:24I am not choosing between this and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:31Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:35You don't mean it.
00:44:37It was fun.
00:44:39But with you, you don't compare to what I own.
00:44:42I'll survive the loss.
00:44:46I'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.
00:45:04This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:45:19In so deep, I can barely see myself.
00:45:28Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted.
00:45:34But I find just a place to test myself.
00:45:37I'm sorry, didn't see you there.
00:46:07Then again, nobody does.
00:46:09Move, please.
00:46:12Try begging.
00:46:18You know what?
00:46:19Keep it.
00:46:25Poor thing.
00:46:26So dramatic.
00:46:29Don't.
00:46:30Excuse me?
00:46:31I warned you.
00:46:33Walk away, Serena.
00:46:37Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:46:59But one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:47:02Charles Kenwood, and Alice Keaton.
00:47:05Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:47:10Better have it.
00:47:11I couldn't stay.
00:47:12I couldn't wait.
00:47:14I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:47:18Can 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.
00:47:28Different worlds, different rules.
00:47:32At first glance, they clash.
00:47:35But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:47:38Confusion.
00:47:40Curiosity.
00:47:40But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:44And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:57And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:59Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:06Miss Keaton?
00:48:08Dramatic as always.
00:48:10All right.
00:48:11Thank you, Alice.
00:48:12That was...
00:48:13later.
00:48:16Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder.
00:48:18That good literature
00:48:19always stirs something.
00:48:24Hello?
00:48:24Hi, there's Alice Keaton.
00:48:26This is Whitmore Press.
00:48:27We've been following your work.
00:48:28We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:48:31Name your price.
00:48:32We'll make it work.
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:44That's kind of insane.
00:48:47Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:51Can...
00:48:52Can I meet them?
00:48:54I want to.
00:48:56Please.
00:48:58Or at least tell me a name.
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:49:05So their only interest in words, not the person.
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them.
00:49:08I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:49:09They were very good.
00:49:11I think the most generous offer we've ever given is a zero-tip.
00:49:14I see.
00:49:15Congratulations again.
00:49:20You got the interview.
00:49:22It's just an interview.
00:49:23I haven't gotten it yet.
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:27That's iconic.
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:40I'm so excited.
00:49:41It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:58Good.
00:49:59It's a generous deal.
00:50:01You sure you don't want it to know?
00:50:03No.
00:50:03You know, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:50:07I will be for you, babe.
00:50:12I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:50:17Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:50:22Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:50:33And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:50:37It's all coming together beautifully.
00:50:40I've lost my appetite.
00:50:48I'll go check on him.
00:50:49What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:00Disengagement.
00:51:01It's not happening.
00:51:02It's not up to you.
00:51:03You know that.
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this.
00:51:07You've changed.
00:51:08Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:51:38Charles, 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.
00:52:02Let 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?
00:52:28No?
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?
00:52:38When 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.
00:52:52Where are you going?
00:52:52Chill, okay?
00:53:04We won't hurt you.
00:53:05Yeah, 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 I met.
00:53:32I remember how I met.
00:53:34I didn't need a second guess.
00:53:54Hey, hey, hey, Alice.
00:53:56Alice?
00:53:56Alice, hey, hey, hey, stay with me.
00:53:59Stay with me.
00:53:59Alice.
00:54:00Alice.
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?
00:54:15I found you on the side of the road.
00:54:18He had to leave.
00:54:19He didn't leave a name.
00:54:22Oh.
00:54:24The interview.
00:54:25What time is it?
00:54:26Easy.
00:54:27It's okay.
00:54:28Someone already contacted the university.
00:54:30Anne 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?
00:54:43Nothing.
00:54:44I just had a dream.
00:54:54Yeah.
00:54:56Yeah.
00:54:56Did you?
00:54:58I got him!
00:55:02Oh, I knew it.
00:55:05Too 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?
00:55:14He left.
00:55:15A few days ago, yeah.
00:55:16Everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:55:19Honestly, Asher's been quieter without him.
00:55:21It's probably for the best.
00:55:22Come on.
00:55:28Alice?
00:55:29The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
00:55:37Chaotic.
00:55:38Unexpected.
00:55:41And with his absence...
00:55:43Come on!
00:55:45It ended quietly.
00:55:49Like summers always do.
00:55:51And 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.
00:56:20Which 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, 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, all right.
00:56:38No 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're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's love.
00:56:50And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:56:53And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:57:07Congratulations, Alice.
00:57:08The numbers just came in.
00:57:10You broke your own record.
00:57:13That's incredible.
00:57:14We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:57:18Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:57:23I'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.
00:57:44Good evening.
00:57:49Good evening.
00:57:53May I sit?
00:57:58Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:58:03Hi.
00:58:05Hi.
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.
00:58:26I didn't come here to confuse you, or to reopen anything.
00:58:31I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:58:35Oh.
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading.
00:58:41You were rich enough not to do so.
00:58:43Always.
00:58:46Either way, your sponsorship started my career, so...
00:58:50No.
00:58:51No, you've...
00:58:52You earned everything.
00:58:56Every word.
00:58:58Every page.
00:59:00Every reader.
00:59:02That's what I came to say.
00:59:03It was good to see you again.
00:59:09I hope.
00:59:10Charles.
00:59:12Can you just...
00:59:14Wait a little longer?
00:59:16I think I knew it was you.
00:59:26There was one email.
00:59:29You said something.
00:59:30It felt familiar.
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kind of had that...
00:59:34rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:59:36Very on brand.
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:59:40Too late.
00:59:41Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:59:42Still 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.
01:00:04Anyway...
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?
01:00:51Don't tell me.
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.
01:01:19Because 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.
01:01:44You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice.
01:01:46But you made a choice for me.
01:01:52Did it ever cross your mind that maybe...
01:01:55I would have chosen you anyway?
01:02:04I 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.
01:02:31I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:02:44Do 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.
01:02:56You 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 last thing is better to go.
01:03:19Stop quoting yourself.
01:03:20I recycle.
01:03:21It saves energy.
01:03:24This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer.
01:03:28You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:03:30I said that.
01:03:31Yeah, before 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.
01:03:51And prove it.
01:03:58I still can't believe this is happening.
01:03:59I told you that you're the worst enemies
01:04:02or secretly married.
01:04:03And I told you they're both.
01:04:05I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:04:34Except for when you ask how 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.
01:04:48Always.
01:04:49Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:04:53Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean, he did beat over at Sarkis.
01:04:57I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:05:04Especially over Shakespeare.
01:05:06I vow to write you into every story.
01:05:09Even when I say I didn't.
01:05:11You will always be a part of my life.
01:05:14If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:05:17No, you're not.
01:05:17You're going to cry harder.
01:05:18For the rest of life.
01:05:24For 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.
01:05:49Relax.
01:05:50Just 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.
01:06:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:06:03No.
01:06:09No.
01:06:09No, no, no, no.
01:06:10That is not an invitation to...
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes.
01:06:13I'm overruled.
01:06:14You look much better without them.
01:06:21To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters,
01:06:26you will find your way home.
01:06:33You're going to be on my own.
01:06:35But I don't want to die alone.
01:06:37Cuts.
01:06:38I'm still on the floor forever.
01:06:41I'll be like gone by the morning.
01:06:49Oopsie.
01:06:50My king.
01:06:55Okay.
01:06:56Okay.
01:06:57One day's come now.
01:06:58it's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books
01:07:08help us develop learn and grow
