00:03:01hey

00:03:20it's more like
00:03:21a mutual decision

00:03:23I think he's arrogant
00:03:25cold
00:03:26thinks he's untouchable
00:03:28but if you really look at Charles
00:03:30he just seems isolated
00:03:31like he's faking out
00:03:33honestly I just think he's lonely

00:09:28why not just give miss keaton a lift
00:09:30and have the whole school go crazy
00:09:33she's new everybody's already talking
00:09:36so you're worried about her
00:09:37you're overthinking
00:09:39i just don't like drama
00:09:43okay
00:09:44i just don't like to be a good
00:09:47asshole
00:09:48hey
00:09:50morning kloss
00:09:52back to golding
00:09:54remind me what he's saying through lord of the flies
00:10:01mr kenwood
00:10:03care to share what you found so amusing
00:10:05not particularly
00:10:07oh i insist
00:10:08you seem very entertained by golding
00:10:11i'm not entertained by golding sir
00:10:14on the contrary
00:10:16i think his ending is
00:10:18weak
00:10:20wait wait
00:10:21did i just embed it
00:10:22quiet
00:10:24that's an interesting take
00:10:26explain
00:10:29he had the setup for something brutal
00:10:32something honest
00:10:33in the end he backed out
00:10:35he could have left the boys on the island
00:10:37forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability
00:10:40let them choose survival
00:10:42or death
00:10:43but instead he gave them a rescue boat
00:10:46slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:52it's a waste
00:10:54don't you think
00:10:55i'm delightfully surprised charles
00:10:56didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:11:00i'm always a model student sir
00:11:02let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:06so
00:11:07a critique of golding's mercy
00:11:09anyone disagree
00:11:25i think golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:29it's not mercy it's irony
00:11:31how so
00:11:35the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:11:37you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:40golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:45that's an interesting take miss keaton
00:11:47you still think it's a harsh critique
00:11:49in some ways
00:11:51but not harsh enough
00:11:53yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still golding
00:11:57sympathize with them
00:11:59and the civilized world
00:12:01toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:04so yeah i don't think golding pushed far enough
00:12:06but i think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:12thank you miss keaton
00:12:14well said
00:12:16anyone else
00:12:19both opinions are valid
00:12:20okay that's kind of epic
00:12:23golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:27good literature will always divide opinion
00:12:32what's happening to me
00:12:39okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me
00:12:42well you're new and apparently had a thing with charles
00:12:46a what now you two are in the middle of the most epic feud at your scene in years
00:12:51we're not even fighting
00:12:53well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected
00:12:57begged to sit next to him got rejected again
00:13:00and today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears
00:13:07you were there sherry that is not what happened
00:13:12doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want charles to be flawless
00:13:18untouchable
00:13:19wow is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a british specialty
00:13:24honestly both but seriously alice some people already see you as a threat
00:13:30okay loaded looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:13:44okay
00:13:58hello hello is somebody out there
00:14:05oh come on
00:14:14fine
00:14:34seriously
00:14:37oh
00:14:37Shit.
00:14:43What the hell?
00:14:45Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
00:14:48She hasn't come home. Her phone is off.
00:14:50Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:14:54Yikes.
00:14:55Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:04Shit.
00:15:07Alice? Alice?
00:15:11Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:13I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:16She hasn't come home.
00:15:17I'll have it sent over.
00:15:20Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:25Alice!
00:15:25Come on, Alice.
00:15:41Close your eyes and jump.
00:15:43It's fine.
00:15:45You're fine.
00:15:46Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:16:11Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:19What are you doing here?
00:16:24Can you get off me first?
00:16:25Oh, so second.
00:16:27Did I ask for two months?
00:16:30You're welcome.
00:16:37I didn't say thank you.
00:16:39I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:16:41Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:44Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:46You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:47Wow.
00:16:50You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:16:54I wouldn't recommend it.
00:16:55You're heavier than you look.
00:16:58I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:05Are you okay?
00:17:07No.
00:17:07But I will be.
00:17:10Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:12What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:15Don't worry. I can handle it.
00:17:16You shouldn't have to.
00:17:19I'm sorry.
00:17:28Sorry.
00:17:33Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:36Don't get used to it.
00:17:37I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:41Alice?
00:17:42Over here.
00:17:43Oh, my God.
00:17:46Are you okay?
00:17:49Why are you drenched?
00:17:51Yeah, I just took a weird shower.
00:17:54Top exploded.
00:17:57Come on.
00:17:57Let's get you home.
00:18:08Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:09I heard you staked the whole thing for attention.
00:18:21I know how this place works.
00:18:26If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:42I'll look into it.
00:18:44I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:18:57That's insane.
00:18:59Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:01They're busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:19:04Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:10Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:12Being 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.
00:19:38But sometimes, being here means staying behind and watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:19:53Have fun, bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:00The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:09So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:23What are you doing here?
00:20:33What are you doing here?
00:20:34Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:35Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:37It's comfortable.
00:20:38You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:40This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:42And this is not even your house.
00:20:44And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:47Just don't, look, go away.
00:20:49Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:20:52What do you guys call it?
00:20:54Um, buzz kill?
00:20:56Cock block.
00:20:58You're insufferable.
00:20:59You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:01You know what?
00:21:02I don't get it.
00:21:03Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:04I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing.
00:21:06Why do you think?
00:21:13Where would I go?
00:21:14I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:18Florence.
00:21:19Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:21:24Or Titianum, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:28Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:34Next stop, Napoli.
00:21:36Marvel at Pompeii.
00:21:37Pretend you're shocked, ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:40The final stop, Paris.
00:21:43The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:45And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:21:52That's word for word.
00:21:55I told you.
00:21:56I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:21:59Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:22:01Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:03Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:22:06Twice.
00:22:08Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:10Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:12Standard rooms in five-star hotels?
00:22:14No thank you.
00:22:16Wow.
00:22:17Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:19That's unfortunate.
00:22:20You know, it's a very chaotic city.
00:22:22One word of advice?
00:22:23Shut up.
00:22:24That's two words.
00:22:27You're weird.
00:22:28You're loud.
00:22:29You're annoying.
00:22:30You're in my kitchen.
00:22:31You have three other kitchens.
00:22:32And I prefer this one.
00:22:34Just for today.
00:22:35Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:36Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:38You didn't have to come.
00:22:39Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:41After Charles, roads are flooded.
00:22:50Staff won't make it tonight.
00:22:51Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:22:57I've got it sorted.
00:22:58But you only gave me a heart attack.
00:23:10Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:12Relax.
00:23:15I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:16What deal?
00:23:17You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:22You'll survive.
00:23:24I'm not selling my body.
00:23:28I'm not selling my body!
00:23:35Wow, I am deeply offended. That thought disgusts me.
00:23:41Then what are you doing?
00:23:43The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:23:48Did you seriously think I'd spend £100 on...
00:23:51No, I...
00:23:52Jesus.
00:23:54Wait, you think I'm not worth £100?
00:23:59I'm not spending £100 to snort Chewbacca.
00:24:02You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:06Are you sure about that?
00:24:10I present to you!
00:24:11Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:14You're welcome.
00:24:16Interesting combo.
00:24:17Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:24:21It's...
00:24:23Good.
00:24:29Was that a compliment?
00:24:30Although...
00:24:32I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:34Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:24:36It's American.
00:24:37And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:40You should read more.
00:24:43Put it down.
00:24:45I paid for it.
00:24:46You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:48To be fair,
00:24:49you make it very easy.
00:24:52It's only easy because it costs £200.
00:24:55You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:24:57Can I make sure of it?
00:24:58No, no.
00:25:15OK, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:16You're fine.
00:25:24911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:30911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:32It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.
00:25:34Okay, miss. The hurricane's constant. Traffic's shut down. We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:38Please, he's not well.
00:25:40I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:25:44Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:46Alright.
00:25:48My daughter.
00:25:50Please stay with me, Dad. Please.
00:25:56No.
00:25:58Please wake up.
00:26:04Dad, please. Please don't leave me.
00:26:14You... What are you doing here?
00:26:26You... What are you doing here?
00:26:44You were crying.
00:26:46Loudly.
00:26:48Kind of hard to ignore.
00:26:50Right.
00:26:51Sorry for the noise.
00:26:53Wait.
00:26:54No snarky comeback?
00:26:56Not tonight. I'm too tired.
00:26:58If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:03You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:05Hurricane hit New York.
00:27:08Power went down. Traffic froze.
00:27:10Dad had a stroke.
00:27:12But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:16I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:20Peaceful.
00:27:22Like he was asleep.
00:27:24But he wasn't.
00:27:26So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:30This used to be our hometown.
00:27:32After Dad left...
00:27:34We had nowhere else to go.
00:27:36What are you doing?
00:27:38Come on.
00:27:40What are you doing?
00:27:42We had nowhere else to go.
00:27:49What are you doing?
00:27:54Come on.
00:27:56Wait.
00:27:58I thought the power was out.
00:28:12It is.
00:28:14We have our own generator.
00:28:16Wow.
00:28:17Rich people houses her.
00:28:18Just for tonight.
00:28:20I'll allow it.
00:28:22Allow what?
00:28:24You can call this place your house.
00:28:26So enjoy it.
00:28:27Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:29Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:31Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:33All yours.
00:28:37This...
00:28:39is your home.
00:28:41Alice Keaton.
00:28:47Careful.
00:28:48Almost sounded sweet.
00:28:50Don't push it.
00:28:51Okay then.
00:28:54I have...
00:28:57one request.
00:29:01What is it?
00:29:08Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:10Wait.
00:29:11Give me a second.
00:29:12I'm thinking.
00:29:13You had one wish.
00:29:15Anything in the world.
00:29:17And in the middle of a thunderstorm.
00:29:19Inside a literal mansion.
00:29:21You chose chess.
00:29:23Yeah.
00:29:24Got a problem?
00:29:25It's just so cool.
00:29:26Like...
00:29:27Spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:29It's literally a board game.
00:29:31Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:34Wait.
00:29:35Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:37For the tenth time.
00:29:38It moves in an L shape.
00:29:41One.
00:29:42Two.
00:29:43Then turn.
00:29:45There.
00:29:47Happy.
00:29:48Ecstatic.
00:29:51That's suicide.
00:29:52Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:29:54You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:29:56Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:29:57You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:29:59Golding disagrees.
00:30:01It's going to be a long night.
00:30:03Oh my...
00:30:04No.
00:30:05Why? What's that like that?
00:30:06You can't do that.
00:30:07Can I do that?
00:30:08Can I do that?
00:30:09Can I do that?
00:30:10You had a shot but you went about it all wrong.
00:30:12Tied to pull you in close as we locked on your phone.
00:30:16All yourself up cause I'm moving on.
00:30:20Oh you're showing up at my door.
00:30:24Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:29Maybe...
00:30:30He's not so awful after all.
00:30:39Um...
00:30:40Who are you?
00:30:46What are you doing here?
00:30:47Well your parents said you were still at home.
00:30:49Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:30:52Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:30:54When did you get back?
00:30:55Last night.
00:30:56From Zurich.
00:30:57You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:01I missed you.
00:31:02Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:04Apparently I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:07Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:09They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:11I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:13They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:16You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:19Engagement?
00:31:22Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:24He's promised.
00:31:26Old money stuff.
00:31:27Very retro.
00:31:28I didn't agree to that.
00:31:29You didn't have to.
00:31:30It's never up to us.
00:31:33Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:35Serena.
00:31:36I didn't hear you, you know.
00:31:37Oh.
00:31:38An American.
00:31:39How refreshing.
00:31:46Goodbye.
00:31:47Wait.
00:31:48Wait.
00:32:04Where are you going?
00:32:05You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:07You only paid for dinner.
00:32:09I had homework.
00:32:10Goodbye.
00:32:14Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:32:16Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:18What?
00:32:19Teasing the help?
00:32:26That's her.
00:32:27That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:30Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:46Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:32:49They're saying you live with Charles.
00:32:51Oh, and Serena.
00:32:52What about her?
00:32:53Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:32:58Of course she did.
00:32:59Careful, Alice.
00:33:12You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:14Desperate.
00:33:25Mom.
00:33:26Yeah.
00:33:27Can you help me?
00:33:281066.
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:30Come to the music room.
00:33:31Urgent.
00:33:32I just remembered, I need to check something.
00:33:34You guys go ahead.
00:33:35Yeah, okay.
00:33:36Yeah, okay.
00:33:42Alice!
00:33:43Is someone there?
00:33:44Seriously!
00:33:45This is getting old!
00:33:47Wait.
00:34:00Music room?
00:34:01What?
00:34:04James?
00:34:05Was anybody in here earlier?
00:34:06Just Miss Serena.
00:34:07Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:10Sir?
00:34:12Sir, it's raining!
00:34:17Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:34:27You're not that girl again.
00:34:35Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:34:38Okay.
00:34:39Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:41Yeah.
00:34:42Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:44And knight...
00:34:45The knight's the weird one.
00:34:47Rooks.
00:34:53Street lines...
00:34:56Animated
00:35:10I feel my soul
00:35:16The text
00:35:20Are you okay?
00:35:22Are you hurt?
00:35:23I'm okay
00:35:25I saw the text and I thought
00:35:27I didn't see the message
00:35:28Serena took my phone
00:35:30I didn't know
00:35:31I'm sorry
00:35:32I'm okay
00:35:34You're gonna catch a cold
00:35:36You're freezing
00:35:37You didn't have to come
00:35:38Don't tell me
00:35:42What I have to do
00:35:44That wasn't a mistake
00:36:07If that's what you're about to say
00:36:09I
00:36:10Wasn't going to
00:36:12Really bad at this, you know
00:36:26What?
00:36:28Kissing?
00:36:28Hiding feelings
00:36:29Dump those Ewok pyjamas
00:36:53Oh, you wish
00:36:56Seriously
00:36:58It's a cock block
00:36:59You kissed me
00:37:02That's basically consent to everything
00:37:06Dangerous words, Keaton
00:37:12I might hold you to that
00:37:13You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays
00:37:25The list is on the board
00:37:27One, two, three, four
00:37:32Paper planes
00:37:35Are you okay?
00:37:35Fly me to outer space
00:37:39That's where I'll see your face
00:37:44And have you with me
00:37:48It may seem dark
00:37:54But you always like a bright spark
00:37:58You're welcome
00:38:06They're either enemies or secretly married
00:38:12Honestly
00:38:14Faith
00:38:15I was sure I'd never find someone
00:38:19To make my head spin around
00:38:21No one's ever gonna be the thing I need
00:38:24They all just let me down
00:38:25But baby
00:38:27You saved me
00:38:28Till I'm brand new
00:38:31Everything's so different now
00:38:34So
00:38:35The night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:38Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:41Because it's weird
00:38:42And I like weird
00:38:45Check
00:38:53You're cheating
00:39:00I'm winning
00:39:01There's a difference
00:39:02You are very distracting
00:39:04And you like it
00:39:06Charles
00:39:17We need to talk
00:39:19I expected poor judgement
00:39:28But this in my house
00:39:30It isn't what it looks like
00:39:32No
00:39:32Kissing a servant's daughter
00:39:35In the family library
00:39:37Enlighten me then, Charles
00:39:38We came back tonight
00:39:39After speaking with Serena
00:39:41Imagine our surprise
00:39:43Walking in on
00:39:44This
00:39:45She isn't just
00:39:46You have no right
00:39:48To barge in
00:39:49On my property
00:39:50I care about her
00:39:54I'm not ashamed of that
00:39:56That's enough
00:39:57Why do you care?
00:40:01We're protecting our son's future
00:40:03And our name
00:40:05You think this protects me?
00:40:07We think
00:40:08She does not belong
00:40:09In your world
00:40:10Then maybe I don't either
00:40:15You're ready to give up everything
00:40:19For a girl you barely know
00:40:21Yes
00:40:24Then
00:40:25Are you sure
00:40:27She's ready?
00:40:29I'm asking you
00:40:35Do you think she's ready
00:40:37To lose everything
00:40:38Regardless of how little
00:40:39That is
00:40:40Just to be with you
00:40:42What are you talking about?
00:40:44You left us no choice, son
00:40:45You shouldn't disobey your father
00:40:47Pelton
00:40:50It's Frederick Kenwood
00:40:52Ah, Mr. Kenwood
00:40:54How can I help?
00:40:55If a scholarship student
00:40:57Were to violate our behavioural code
00:41:00In a public setting
00:41:01With photographic evidence
00:41:03Would that warrant a review?
00:41:05Yes, sir
00:41:06So
00:41:09Answer me again
00:41:11Do you think she's ready
00:41:13To lose everything
00:41:15Just to be with you?
00:41:16Charles
00:41:27What happened?
00:41:28Did your parents say something?
00:41:29Are they mad?
00:41:29Is everything okay?
00:41:32Pack your things
00:41:32You can't stay here anymore
00:41:35What?
00:41:38My parents fired your mother
00:41:40She's leaving
00:41:41So are you
00:41:42Wait, why?
00:41:44Is it because of us?
00:41:45We can fix this
00:41:46I'll get a job
00:41:47Stop, stop it
00:41:48You don't get it
00:41:49If I don't walk away from this
00:41:51They'll cut me off
00:41:52Okay?
00:41:54No card
00:41:55No trust
00:41:56No support
00:41:57Nothing
00:41:58Then
00:41:59Then we'll figure it out
00:42:01We don't need all that
00:42:03Do you really think
00:42:05I'm going to live like that?
00:42:09So that's what this was
00:42:11Just fun
00:42:12Until it got inconvenient
00:42:14What did they promise you?
00:42:19Nothing
00:42:20They just reminded me
00:42:24Of what's real
00:42:26Charles
00:42:29I'm not stupid
00:42:30You don't just turn into
00:42:32A cold stranger
00:42:33Because of one conversation
00:42:34What did they threaten you with?
00:42:36What did they threaten you with?
00:42:43This is the difference
00:42:44Between me and you
00:42:44What?
00:42:46You think you know me
00:42:47Or what I have
00:42:49You don't
00:42:50Alice
00:42:51You're still lying
00:42:53I'm not
00:42:53Alice
00:42:54Look around you
00:42:55This mansion
00:42:57You thought was a museum
00:42:58It's my house
00:43:00My world
00:43:02I was bored into this
00:43:04I am not choosing
00:43:05Between this
00:43:06And something I picked up
00:43:11For a moment
00:43:11Of fun
00:43:12Don't do this Charles
00:43:16You don't mean it
00:43:17Look it was fun
00:43:18But you
00:43:20You don't compare to what I own
00:43:23I'll survive the loss
00:43:26Right
00:43:30I should have known
00:43:33Guys like you
00:43:35Don't end up
00:43:36With girls like me
00:43:37You play with them
00:43:40Then you throw them away
00:43:42Go to sleep Alice
00:43:45This fall is a little more
00:43:58Than I expected
00:44:00In so deep
00:44:03I can barely see myself
00:44:06Yeah around me
00:44:10Feels so heavy
00:44:11But depleted
00:44:12But I find
00:44:16That's the place
00:44:17To test myself
00:44:18Oops
00:44:42Oh sorry
00:44:45Didn't see you there
00:44:47Then again
00:44:47Nobody does
00:44:49Move please
00:44:50Try begging
00:44:53You know what
00:44:59Keep it
00:45:00Poor thing
00:45:06So dramatic
00:45:07Don't
00:45:09Excuse me
00:45:11I warned you
00:45:12Walk away Serena
00:45:14Last week's group assignments were
00:45:36Mostly forgettable
00:45:38But one pair surprised me
00:45:40In a good way
00:45:41Charles Kenwood
00:45:43And Alice Keaton
00:45:44Would you mind giving us
00:45:46Her short summary
00:45:47She loves the sound of her own voice
00:45:49Better have it
00:45:50Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:46:03Like logic and chaos
00:46:05Or silence and noise
00:46:06Different worlds
00:46:08Different rules
00:46:09At first glance
00:46:13They clash
00:46:14But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:46:17Confusion
00:46:18Curiosity
00:46:20But in the end some stories aren't about staying
00:46:23And yes there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:26And yes there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:38Is she still talking about the essay
00:46:41Miss Keaton
00:46:45Dramatic as always
00:46:48Alright
00:46:49Thank you Alice
00:46:50That was
00:46:51Laid
00:46:53Are you okay
00:46:55A reminder
00:46:55That good literature
00:46:57Always stirs something

00:47:17Kind of
00:47:18Insane
00:47:19Who's behind this

00:47:29Or at least tell me a name
00:47:31Sorry
00:47:35They wish to stay in office
00:47:36So they're only interested in words
00:47:38Not the person
00:47:38I'd really like to meet them
00:47:40I'm sorry
00:47:40But the name was very good

00:47:46Congratulations again
00:47:48You got the interview
00:47:53It's just an interview
00:47:54I haven't gotten it yet
00:47:55Still
00:47:56Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:47:58That's iconic
00:47:59You okay?
00:48:09Yeah
00:48:10I'm so excited
00:48:13I'm so excited
00:48:13It's done Mr. Kenwood
00:48:26Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:48:28Good
00:48:30It's a generous deal
00:48:32You sure you don't want it to know?
00:48:35No
00:48:35No
00:48:37It's better if I stay out of her life
00:48:38I will be before you
00:48:42I'll be there in your darkest days
00:48:47Congratulations
00:48:49Alice Keaton
00:48:50Go live the life
00:48:52You were always meant to
00:48:54Your engagement announcement
00:49:00Should align perfectly
00:49:01With the Foundation Gala
00:49:02And the Browns already offered
00:49:05To host the London reception
00:49:07It's all coming together
00:49:10Beautifully
00:49:11I've lost my appetite
00:49:14I'll go check on him
00:49:20What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:30Disengagement
00:49:30Is not happening
00:49:32It's not up to you
00:49:33You know that
00:49:34Serena, we're not doing this
00:49:36You've changed
00:49:38Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:49:44Tars
00:50:12You're the sponsor
00:50:14You've been funding Alice Keaton
00:50:15This whole time
00:50:16So?
00:50:20You lied to everyone
00:50:22Including her
00:50:23I protected her
00:50:25You loved her
00:50:28Still do
00:50:30Let it go, Serena
00:50:33There's no point
00:50:36I need a favour
00:50:45Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:50:48And make sure Alice Keaton
00:50:51Won't show up
00:50:52Anything?
00:50:56No?
00:50:58She's not answering
00:50:59The interview's almost over
00:51:01Well, she won't just not show up
00:51:03Something's wrong
00:51:04Where's Alice?
00:51:08When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:09Last night
00:51:10She said she was prepping all evening
00:51:12James, track someone for me
00:51:18Wait, where are you going?
00:51:21Chill, okay
00:51:30It won't hurt you
00:51:31Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview
00:51:34That's it
00:51:35Shex, come back!
00:51:44I remember how we met
00:51:46I remember how we met
00:51:50Didn't need a second guess
00:52:18Hey, hey, hey
00:52:23Alice, Alice
00:52:23Alice, hey, hey
00:52:25Stay with me
00:52:26Stay with me
00:52:26Stay with me, Alice
00:52:27Alice
00:52:28You're awake
00:52:35Where
00:52:37Where am I?
00:52:38A local clinic
00:52:39Passer-by brought you in
00:52:41Passer-by
00:52:43He found you on the side of the road
00:52:45He had to leave
00:52:46He didn't leave a name
00:52:47Oh
00:52:49The interview
00:52:52What time is it?
00:52:53Easy
00:52:53It's okay
00:52:55Someone already contacted the university
00:52:57And sent in your writing samples
00:52:59They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:01Wait, what?
00:53:02Who?
00:53:03No idea
00:53:04But it's all taken care of
00:53:05What did you say?
00:53:10Nothing
00:53:10I just
00:53:12Had a dream
00:53:14I got him!
00:53:25I knew it!
00:53:31Too bad Charles isn't here
00:53:33To watch you crush it
00:53:34He's not here
00:53:35Oh, you
00:53:37Didn't know
00:53:38Know what?
00:53:40He left
00:53:41A few days ago
00:53:43Yeah, everyone
00:53:43Doesn't really know where he went
00:53:45Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him
00:53:47It's probably for the best
00:53:48Come on
00:53:49I couldn't stay
00:53:51I couldn't wait
00:53:53I thought that you should know
00:53:55Alice
00:53:56The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:54:02Chaotic
00:54:04Unexpected
00:54:05And with his absence
00:54:09Come on
00:54:10It ended quietly
00:54:13Like summers always do
00:54:17And joining us today
00:54:31The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:54:35Alice Keaton
00:54:35Thank you for having me
00:54:37No, your words moved millions
00:54:40They say your stories feel real
00:54:43Especially the ones about love
00:54:45Thank you
00:54:45Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:54:48How's your dating life like these days?
00:54:50No comment
00:54:51A little bird told me that the past four years
00:54:54Has been just writing and working
00:54:57Not even a single date
00:54:58Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:54:59She caught me
00:55:00Still no comment
00:55:02Alright, alright
00:55:03No matter what you say
00:55:04You write love like someone who's lived it
00:55:08If you're so real
00:55:10Because once
00:55:11I did
00:55:11With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:55:14Behind Alice Keaton's
00:55:16And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:55:18And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:55:22Congratulations Alice
00:55:34The numbers just came in
00:55:35You broke your own record
00:55:36That's incredible
00:55:40We're thinking celebration
00:55:41Press
00:55:42Photos
00:55:43Maybe tonight
00:55:44Actually
00:55:44There's something I'd rather do
00:55:47I'd like to meet with the person who
00:55:50Believed in me first
00:55:51My sponsor
00:55:53You're sure?
00:55:55Yeah
00:55:55Just once
00:55:57Tonight
00:55:587pm
00:55:59Good evening
00:56:11Good evening
00:56:15May I sit?
00:56:19Hey Mr. Nonchalant
00:56:25Hi
00:56:29Hi
00:56:30You look well
00:56:33And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:56:38You always did
00:56:40You were expecting someone else
00:56:43I was
00:56:45Hoping
00:56:47But I guess I always knew
00:56:50I didn't come here to confuse you
00:56:52Or to reopen anything
00:56:54I just wanted to say congratulations
00:56:58Oh
00:57:00Thank you
00:57:02I didn't know you were still reading
00:57:06You were rich enough not to do so
00:57:08Always
00:57:10Either way
00:57:12Your sponsorship started my career
00:57:14So
00:57:15No
00:57:15No
00:57:15No
00:57:16You earned everything
00:57:18Every word
00:57:22Every page
00:57:23Every reader
00:57:26That's what I came to say
00:57:28It was good to see you again
00:57:34I hope
00:57:35Charles
00:57:35Can you just
00:57:38Wait a little longer
00:57:41I think I knew it was you
00:57:49There was one email
00:57:51You said something
00:57:54It felt familiar
00:57:55Really?
00:57:57Kind of had that
00:57:57Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:58:00Very on brand
00:58:01I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:04Too late
00:58:05Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:07Still the only girl I know
00:58:09Who flirts through punctuation
00:58:11Still the only guy I know
00:58:12Who uses whilst unironically
00:58:14You've changed
00:58:18But
00:58:19Not really
00:58:22You haven't changed
00:58:24But
00:58:26Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:58:28Anyway
00:58:31I wanted to say
00:58:33Thank you
00:58:35And
00:58:36Thanks for being here tonight
00:58:39You didn't have to come
00:58:41Don't tell me what I have to do
00:58:43You didn't have to come
00:58:47Don't tell me
00:58:50What I have to do
00:58:51If you could go back
00:59:12If you had the chance to do it all again
00:59:14Would you do anything differently
00:59:16Would you do anything differently
00:59:16No
00:59:22No
00:59:27No
00:59:27I see
00:59:32I know my answer now
00:59:36I know my answer now
00:59:36I didn't have the power back then
00:59:38Not enough to protect you
00:59:40I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
00:59:43Because of my name
00:59:45My family
00:59:47I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
00:59:51So you just disappeared
00:59:53Without a word
00:59:54If you had the chance to see the world
00:59:59Without me weighing you down
01:00:01If you still chose me after that
01:00:04You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:10But you made a choice for me
01:00:13Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:17I would have chosen you anyway
01:00:22I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:28You weren't
01:00:30But I never claimed to be that smart
01:00:35This is me
01:00:44Right
01:00:45I'm still mad at you, you know
01:00:54I'm still in love with you, you know
01:00:58Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:11You're asking your ex
01:01:12Who you haven't seen in four years
01:01:14To come into your hotel
01:01:16At approximately 11pm
01:01:18You were right
01:01:21You never were that smart
01:01:23You don't have to come
01:01:25Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:27Stop quoting yourself
01:01:42I recycle
01:01:43It saves energy
01:01:44This feels wildly irresponsible
01:01:48You sound like a disclaimer
01:01:49You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:01:52I said that
01:01:53Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:01:56Still is
01:01:57You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:00That is cute to me
01:02:05Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:07I wasn't going to
01:02:08I forgot all of it the day you left
01:02:10Then shut up
01:02:12And prove it
01:02:14I still can't believe this is happening
01:02:21I told you
01:02:22They're either worst enemies
01:02:24Or secretly married
01:02:25And I told you
01:02:25They're both
01:02:26I vow to always tell you the truth
01:02:41I vow to always tell you the truth
01:02:53Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:02:56Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:02:58Then I lie
01:02:59Respectfully
01:03:00I vow to keep choosing you
01:03:04Loudly
01:03:05Quietly
01:03:06Always
01:03:07Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:03:10Is he actually good at this?
01:03:12I mean, he did beat her at sarcasm
01:03:14I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:03:19Especially over Shakespeare
01:03:20I vow to write you in your every story
01:03:22Even when I say I didn't
01:03:24You will always be a part of my life
01:03:27If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:03:29I'm out
01:03:30No you're not
01:03:31You're gonna cry harder
01:03:32No you're not
01:03:33You're gonna cry harder
01:03:35No you're not
01:03:36You're gonna cry harder
01:03:37No you're not
01:03:38You're gonna cry harder
01:03:40Danke
01:03:42True
01:03:59I woke up to the smell of roses
01:04:02Can't believe you picked Paris
01:04:04It's such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:04:08Guard your phone.
01:04:10Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:16You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:04:19Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:22Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:27No.
01:04:29No, no, no, no, that is not an invitation to...
01:04:32Do not take off these clothes!
01:04:33Overruled.
01:04:34You look much better without them.
01:04:42To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters,
01:04:47you will find your way home.
01:04:54This is very nice.
01:04:57God!
01:04:59God!
01:05:00It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:05:15Help us develop, learn and grow.
01:05:23It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:05:29Help us develop, learn and grow.
01:05:32Evermore
