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. We're talking about the king of Ashford.
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.
00:00:21Breathe 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.
00:00:50You 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?
00:01:21If somebody 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 daydream running through my brain every day.
00:01:51Heaven in my dead, I'm...
00:01:55You're not staying.
00:01:56You're okay?
00:01:57You're okay?
00:01:58You're okay.
00:01:59I wanna shake it down.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:06Morning, class.
00:02:09And you're not seated because...
00:02:11I...
00:02:13Don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah!
00:02:15A new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:21No.
00:02:22There's a spot.
00:02:23Next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles hates charity.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God.
00:02:30Why is she?
00:02:31Quiet.
00:02:32Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But...
00:02:40In that moment...
00:02:43I forgot them all.
00:02:54Charles.
00:02:55Move your things.
00:02:57I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:02:59From...
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.
00:03:12Her previous school was American.
00:03:15I highly doubt that.
00:03:18That's enough.
00:03:19Enough.
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 and tell you what he's talking 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.
00:03:44Oh, 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.
00:04:07The 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, cold, thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated.
00:04:32Like he's faking it 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.
00:05:02We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:22Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:25Anything exciting happen?
00:05:26Not really.
00:05:27Super uneventful.
00:05:29Really?
00:05:31How'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?
00:05:47Isn'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.
00:06:07Rich people.
00:06:08You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:14Stephen King.
00:06:16First edition.
00:06:26Breaking and entering now.
00:06:29How American of you.
00:06:30I...
00:06:31You've been paying rent here in my head.
00:06:32Trying to fight it hard.
00:06:53You can get up now.
00:06:54I...
00:06:55I'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?
00:07:11You...
00:07:12Wait.
00:07:13Your house.
00:07:15My house.
00:07:16My library.
00:07:17And now, apparently, my unwanted guest.
00:07:20Ah, Master Charles.
00:07:21You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter.
00:07:22She said you'd be moving in today.
00:07:23She what?
00:07:24There...
00:07:25There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:07:26You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:07:27Is that so?
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:29I'm not staying here, like, at all.
00:07:30That's a shame.
00:07:31Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:07:32Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:07:33Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:07:34Come on, Alice.
00:07:35You must stay.
00:07:36It'll be fun.
00:07:37My dear classmate.
00:07:38I'm dead, like mentally, socially, and actually dead.
00:08:01I'm dead. Like mentally, socially, and actually dead.
00:08:12Just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:08:17Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:08:19You've been through hell.
00:08:24Actually, no.
00:08:26This is hell.
00:08:27But, baby, you saved me.
00:08:30Good morning.
00:08:39Wow.
00:08:46Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:49Well, f***ing doesn't know.
00:08:50That's often closed for months.
00:08:52She's going to be late.
00:08:57Hey, how long is this thing going to take?
00:09:02Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:03Five miles to school.
00:09:07Okay, if I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:09:12Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:17Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:19What are you doing here?
00:09:22Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait.
00:09:27Did you come back for me?
00:09:30Relax.
00:09:32I forgot my textbook.
00:09:34Don't flatter yourself.
00:09:36Wait.
00:09:39Since you're already here,
00:09:41maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:09:44No.
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 to live in his house.
00:10:03Unbelievable.
00:10:04Ashford Institute, please.
00:10:20Clooney is that entitled brat anyway.
00:10:22Sir, you 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.
00:10:49Asshole.
00:10:51Who?
00:10:53Morning, Klaus.
00:10:55Back to Golding.
00:10:57Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:11:03Mr. 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...
00:11:21weak.
00:11:23Wait, wait.
00:11:24You actually read it?
00:11:25Quiet.
00:11:25That's an interesting take.
00:11:29Explain.
00:11:32He had the set up for something brutal.
00:11:35Something honest.
00:11:36In the end, he backed out.
00:11:38He could have left the boys on the island.
00:11:40Forced them to confront collapsible morality.
00:11:43Let them choose survival.
00:11:44Or death.
00:11:45But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:11:49Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:11:55It's a waste.
00:11:57Don't you think?
00:11:58I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:12:00Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:12:03I'm always a model student, sir.
00:12:05Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:12:06So, a critique of Golding's mercy.
00:12:12Anyone disagree?
00:12:24I 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?
00:12:35The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:12:41You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:12:44Golding 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.
00:12:57Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:13:02And the civilized world?
00:13:04Toxic, violent.
00:13:05He didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:13:07So, yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:13:11Thank you, Miss Keaton.
00:13:17Well said.
00:13:19Anyone else?
00:13:20Both opinions are valid.
00:13:24Okay, that was kind of epic.
00:13:25And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:13:30Good literature will always divide opinion.
00:13:35What's happening to me?
00:13:36Okay, 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, Astrid's scene in years.
00:13:55We're not even fighting.
00:13:56Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected.
00:14:01Begged to sit next to him, got rejected again.
00:14:04And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and 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, untouchable.
00:14:23Wow.
00:14:24Is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:14:27Honestly, both.
00:14:30But seriously, Alice, some 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.
00:14:52Hello?
00:15:02Hello?
00:15:04Hello?
00:15:06Is somebody out there?
00:15:08Oh, come on!
00:15:22Fine.
00:15:38Seriously?
00:15:41Oh, shit.
00:15:47What the hell?
00:15:49Anne, I 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?
00:15:59Yikes.
00:15:59Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:16:08Shit.
00:16:14Alice!
00:16:15Alice!
00:16:16Mr. 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 a send to her, will you?
00:16:24Check the common room in the library.
00:16:26I'll take the rest.
00:16:28Alice!
00:16:29Alice!
00:16:30Alice!
00:16:43Come on, Alice.
00:16:46Close your eyes and jump.
00:16:47Alice.
00:16:48Alice!
00:16:48Alice!
00:16:48Alice!
00:16:49You're fine.
00:17:14Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:17:17Are you happy with how we end?
00:17:24What are you doing here?
00:17:29Can you get off me first?
00:17:40You're welcome.
00:17:42I didn't say thank you.
00:17:44I figured saving your life might only be 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.
00:18:05Are you okay?
00:18:11Are 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.
00:18:25I'm sorry.
00:18:34Sorry.
00:18:34Did 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.
00:18:50You 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.
00:19:03Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:17I heard she 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?
00:20:01I 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?
00:20:07They'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.
00:20:19Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting
00:20:42in a school 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, being here means standing behind and watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week
00:20:57enrichment 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, which 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?
00:21:42Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:45It's comfortable.
00:21:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:21:48This 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.
00:21:56Go away.
00:21:57Hard not to.
00:21:58When you're walking around dressed like that.
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:03Buzz kill?
00:22:04Cock block.
00:22:06You're insufferable.
00:22:06You'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?
00:22:21Where 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 Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:22:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal, and getting lost in the most confusing
00:22:41city on earth.
00:22:42Next stop, Napoli.
00:22:44Marvel at Pompeii.
00:22:46Pretend you're shocked.
00:22:47Ancient people have plumbing.
00:22:48The final stop, Paris.
00:22:51The ultimate city of romance.
00:22:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:23:02That's word for word.
00:23:03I 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.
00:23:24Wow.
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.
00:23:48Master Charles, roads are flooded.
00:24:00Staff won't make it tonight.
00:24:01Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:24:06I've got it sorted.
00:24:06Jesus, what 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.
00:24:36I'm not selling my body.
00:24:45Wow.
00:24:46I 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...
00:25:01Jesus.
00:25:03Wait.
00:25:04You think I'm not worth 100 pounds?
00:25:08I'm not spending 100 pounds 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.
00:25:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:25:31It's...
00:25:31Good.
00:25:39Was 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 pounds.
00:26:06You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:26:08I'll make sure you want it.
00:26:09Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:34911, what's for your emergency?
00:26:39911, what's for your emergency?
00:26:42It's my dad.
00:26:43He needs help.
00:26:44He just had a stroke.

00:36:43I didn't see the message.
00:36:45Serena took my phone. I didn't know.
00:36:47I'm sorry.
00:36:49I'm okay.
00:36:51You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:53You're freezing. You didn't have to come.
00:36:57Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:37:07That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:37:25I...
00:37:27wasn't going to.
00:37:37I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:43What? Kissing.
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:47Like that.
00:38:07Dump those Ewok pajamas.
00:38:09Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously. It's a cock block.
00:38:15You kissed me.
00:38:17That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:27Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:38:37You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:47One, two, three, four.
00:38:49Paper planes
00:38:51Are you okay?
00:38:53Fly me to outer space
00:38:57That's where I'll see your face
00:39:01And have you with me
00:39:05It may seem dark
00:39:11But you always liked my spark
00:39:15In my heart
00:39:19Since the spark
00:39:21You're welcome
00:39:25They're either enemies we secretly married.
00:39:29Honestly?
00:39:31Right?
00:39:33I was sure I'd never find someone
00:39:35To make my head spin around
00:39:37No one's ever gonna be the thing I need
00:39:39They all just let me down
00:39:41But baby
00:39:43You saved me
00:39:45Until I'm brand new
00:39:47Everything's so different now
00:39:51So...
00:39:53The night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:55Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:57Because it's weird
00:39:59And I like weird
00:40:09Check!
00:40:15You're cheating
00:40:17I'm winning
00:40:19You are very distracting
00:40:21And you like it
00:40:23I will be there for you, babe
00:40:25I'll be there for your darkest days
00:40:29I'll hold you in my arms
00:40:33Charles!
00:40:35We need to talk
00:40:37I expected poor judgement
00:40:39But this in my house?
00:40:41It isn't what it looks like
00:40:43No!
00:40:45Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library
00:40:47Enlighten me then, Charles
00:40:49We came back tonight
00:40:51After speaking with Serena
00:40:53Imagine our surprise walking in on this
00:40:55She isn't just...
00:40:57You have no right to barge in
00:40:59On my property
00:41:01I care about her
00:41:03I'm not ashamed of that
00:41:05That's enough!
00:41:07Why do you care?
00:41:09We're protecting our son's future
00:41:11And our name
00:41:13You think this protects me?
00:41:15I'm not ashamed of that
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
00:41:26She 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?
00:41:41Yes
00:41:42Then
00:41:43Are you sure
00:41:45She's ready?
00:41:47I'm asking you
00:41:53Do you think she's ready?
00:41:55To lose everything
00:41:56Regardless of how little that is
00:41:58Just to be with you?
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:01You left us no choice son
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father
00:42:07Helton
00:42:08It's Frederick Kenwood
00:42:10Ah
00:42:11Mr. Kenwood
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student
00:42:15Were to violate our behavioural code
00:42:17In a public setting
00:42:19With photographic evidence
00:42:20Would that warrant a review?
00:42:23Yes sir
00:42:27So
00:42:28Answer me again
00:42:30Do you think she's ready
00:42:31To lose everything
00:42:32Just to be with you?
00:42:33Just to be with you
00:42:45Charles
00:42:46What happened?
00:42:47Did your parents say something?
00:42:48Are they mad?
00:42:49Is everything okay?
00:42:51Pack your things
00:42:53You can't stay here anymore
00:42:55What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother
00:42:59She's leaving
00:43:01So are you
00:43:02Why?
00:43:03Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this
00:43:05I'll get a job
00:43:06Anything
00:43:07Stop it
00:43:08You don't get it
00:43:09If I don't walk away from this
00:43:10They'll cut me off
00:43:12Okay?
00:43:13No card
00:43:14No trust
00:43:15No support
00:43:17Nothing
00:43:18Then
00:43:19Then we'll figure it out
00:43:20We don't need all that
00:43:21We can
00:43:23Do you really think
00:43:24I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was?
00:43:30Just
00:43:31Fun
00:43:32Until it got inconvenient
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing
00:43:42They just reminded me
00:43:43Of what's real
00:43:47Charles
00:43:48I'm not stupid
00:43:50You don't just turn into
00:43:51A cold stranger
00:43:52Because of one conversation
00:43:53What did they threaten you with?
00:43:54What did they threaten you with?
00:44:01What 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
00:44:07Or what I have
00:44:09You don't, Alice
00:44:10Alice
00:44:11You're still lying
00:44:12I'm not
00:44:13Alice
00:44:14Look around you
00:44:15This mansion
00:44:16You thought was a museum
00:44:17It's
00:44:18My
00:44:19House
00:44:20My
00:44:21World
00:44:22I was bored
00:44:23I was bored into this
00:44:24I am not choosing
00:44:25Between this
00:44:29And something I picked up
00:44:30For a moment
00:44:31Of fun
00:44:33Don't do this
00:44:34Charles
00:44:35You don't mean it
00:44:36It was fine
00:44:38But it'd be you
00:44:40You don't compare to what I own
00:44:42I'll survive the loss
00:44:45I'll survive the loss
00:44:48Right
00:44:51I should have known
00:44:54Guys like you
00:44:55Don't end up with girls like me
00:44:59You play with them
00:45:00Then you throw them away
00:45:03Go to sleep, Alice
00:45:16This fall is a little more
00:45:18Than I expected
00:45:22In so deep
00:45:23I can barely see myself
00:45:28Yeah, around me feels so heavy
00:45:30But depleted
00:45:34But I find this the place
00:45:36To test myself
00:45:46Oops
00:46:04Oh, sorry
00:46:05Didn't see you there
00:46:06Then again
00:46:07Nobody does
00:46:09Move, please
00:46:12Try begging
00:46:15You 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
00:46:45You know what?
00:46:46You know what?
00:46:47You know what?
00:46:48You know what?
00:46:49You know what?
00:46:55Last week's group assignments were
00:46:57Mostly forgettable
00:46:59But one pair surprised me
00:47:01In a good way
00:47:03Charles Kenwood
00:47:04And Alice Keaton
00:47:06Would 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
00:47:16That I would have
00:47:18Can hang around
00:47:19Our essay explored what happens
00:47:21When two fundamentally different voices meet
00:47:24Like logic and chaos
00:47:25Or silence and noise
00:47:28Different worlds
00:47:29Different rules
00:47:32At first glance they clash
00:47:34But what makes the story interesting
00:47:36Is what happens next
00:47:38Confusion
00:47:40Curiosity
00:47:41But in the end
00:47:42Some stories aren't about staying
00:47:44And yes
00:47:45There is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:57And yes
00:47:58There is no such thing as a happy ending
00:48:00Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:06Miss Keaton
00:48:08Dramatic as always
00:48:10Alright
00:48:11Thank you Alice
00:48:12That was
00:48:14Later
00:48:16Are you okay?
00:48:17A reminder
00:48:18That good literature
00:48:20Always stirs something
00:48:24Hello?
00:48:25Hi there's Alice Keaton
00:48:26This is We're More Prince
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, we'll make it work
00:48:33Sorry what?
00:48:44That's
00:48:45Kind of
00:48:46Insane
00:48:47Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:48:51Can
00:48:52Can I meet them?
00:48:55I 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 they're only interested in words
00:49:06Not the person
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them
00:49:08I'm sorry for to keep them
00:49:09They work very soon
00:49:10I think the most generous work we've ever given an interview right to
00:49:14I see
00:49:15Congratulations again
00:49:16You got the interview
00:49:17It's just an interview
00:49:18I haven't gotten in yet
00:49:19Still
00:49:20Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:49:21That's iconic
00:49:22I think it's just an interview
00:49:23It's just an interview
00:49:24I haven't gotten in yet
00:49:25Still
00:49:26Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:49:27That's iconic
00:49:28For your love
00:49:29I'll be

00:49:31One day
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:37Yeah
00:49:38I'm just done
00:49:40I'm so excited
00:49:41I'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
00:50:17Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:50:20Go 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
00:50:38It's all coming together beautifully
00:50:43I've lost my appetite
00:50:48I'll go check on him
00:50:52What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:00Disengagement
00:51:02Is not happening
00:51:03It's not up to you, you know that
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this
00:51:08You've changed
00:51:12Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:51:22We still need to know before
00:51:33!
00:51:34It's all out to you
00:51:36.
00:51:38What have we done?
00:51:42Tollc!
00:51:43You're the sponsor!
00:51:44You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time!
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.
00:51:59Still do.
00:52:02Let 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?
00:52:29She'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.
00:52:41She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:45James, track someone for me.
00:52:51Wait, where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay?
00:53:01We won't hurt you.
00:53:03Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:53:06That's it.
00:53:06Shit!
00:53:15Come back!
00:53:16Shit!
00:53:16Come back!
00:53:16Shit!
00:53:16Shit!
00:53:17Shit!
00:53:17Shit!
00:53:17Shit!
00:53:18Shit!
00:53:18Shit!
00:53:19Shit!
00:53:19Shit!
00:53:20Shit!
00:53:20Shit!
00:53:21Shit!
00:53:21Shit!
00:53:22Shit!
00:53:23Shit!
00:53:24Shit!
00:53:25Shit!
00:53:26Shit!
00:53:27Shit!
00:53:28Shit!
00:53:29Shit!
00:53:30Shit!
00:53:31Shit!
00:53:32Shit!
00:53:33Shit!
00:53:34Shit!
00:53:35Shit!
00:53:36Shit!
00:53:36I remember how I met, didn't need a second guess.
00:53:54Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice.
00:53:57Alice, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me.
00:53:59Stay with me, Alice.
00:54:00Alice!
00:54:06You're awake.
00:54:08Where, 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.
00:54:26It's okay.
00:54:27Someone already contacted the university,
00:54:29and sent in your writing samples.
00:54:31They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:54:33Wait, what, who?
00:54:35No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:54:40What did you say?
00:54:42Nothing.
00:54:43I just...
00:54:45had a dream.
00:54:47I got him!
00:54:48Oh, I knew it!
00:54:49Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:54:54He's not here.
00:54:55Oh, you didn't know?
00:54:56Know what?
00:54:57He left.
00:54:58A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:55:01Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him.
00:55:02It's probably for the best.
00:55:03Come on.
00:55:04Alice?
00:55:05I couldn't stay.
00:55:06I couldn't stay.
00:55:07I couldn't wait.
00:55:08I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:55:09I'm hanging around.
00:55:10I'm hanging around.
00:55:11The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
00:55:13Chaotic.
00:55:14Unexpected.
00:55:15And with his absence...
00:55:16Come on.
00:55:17Come on.
00:55:18It ended quietly.
00:55:19I didn't really know where he went.
00:55:20I didn't really know where he went.
00:55:21I didn't really know where he went.
00:55:22Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him.
00:55:23It's probably for the best.
00:55:24Come on.
00:55:25I couldn't stay.
00:55:26I couldn't wait.
00:55:27I 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.
00:55:36Unexpected.
00:55:38And with his absence...
00:55:42Come on.
00:55:43It ended quietly.
00:55:48Like summers always do.
00:55:52Did you feel it from across the room?
00:55:56Did you feel a little enchanted?
00:56:03And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:56:09Thank you for having me.
00:56:11Now, your words moved millions.
00:56:14They say your stories feel real.
00:56:17Especially 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 Sherry.
00:56:33She caught me.
00:56:34Still no comment.
00:56:35Alright, alright.
00:56:36No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:56:42It feels so real.
00:56:43Because once, I did.
00:56:45That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton.
00:56:49And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:56:52And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:57:07Congratulations Alice. The numbers just came in. You 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.
00:57:22I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:57:26My sponsor.
00:57:28You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah.
00:57:30Just once.
00:57:31Tonight.
00:57:327pm.
00:57:44Good evening.
00:57:49Good evening.
00:57:53May 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.
00:58:19I 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.
00:58:35Oh.
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading.
00:58:41You were rich enough not to do so.
00:58:44Always.
00:58:46Either way, your sponsorship started my career, so...
00:58:49So...
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.
00:59:10Can you just...
00:59:12Can you just...
00:59:14Wait a little longer?
00:59:20I think I knew it was you.
00:59:25There was one email.
00:59:27You said something.
00:59:29It 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.
00:59:41Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:59:43Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:59:46Still the only god I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:59:49Maybe.
00:59:52You've changed.
00:59:54But...
00:59:56Not really.
00:59:58You haven't changed.
01:00:00But...
01:00:01Maybe you've grown into who you really were.
01:00:06Anyway...
01:00:08I 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.
01:00:46If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
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, my family.
01:01:25I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:01:28So you just disappeared, without a word.
01:01:34If you had the chance to see the world, without 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.
01:02:09But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:02:12I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:02:34I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:02:35Do 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 11pm.
01:02:57You were right.
01:02:59You never were that smart.
01:03:00You don't have to come.
01:03:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
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.
01:03:27You're the one who once called
01:03:28romance a distraction.
01:03:30I said that.
01:03:31Yeah, before calling
01:03:32Wuthering 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.
01:03:57I still can't believe this is happening.
01:04:00I told you they're either 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 her at soccer though.
01:04:58I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:05:04Especially over Shakespeare.
01:05:06I vow to write you in your 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 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 my life.
01:05:24For the rest of my life.
01:05:38I woke up to the smell of roses.
01:05:42I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:05:45Such 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.
01:06:07No.
01:06:09No, no, no, no.
01:06:10That is not an invitation to...
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes.
01:06:13No, I've roared.
01:06:14You look much better without them.
01:06:21To the ones who loved in silence.
01:06:23In chaos.
01:06:25In chapters.
01:06:26You will find your way home.
01:06:33You will find me on my own.
01:06:34It's very nice.
01:06:35But I don't want to die alone.
01:06:37God.
01:06:39God.
01:06:39For your love.
01:06:41I'll be like gone by the morning.
01:06:48Upside.
01:06:51My king.
01:06:55Okay.
01:06:56Okay.
01:06:57It'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.
