Full Episode of In Other Words, I Love You
Transcript
00:00:01I've always described the world in words.
00:00:05People, moments, places.
00:00:08But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful, you're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's a boss.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:20He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Breathe in room before opening your mouth.
00:00:25American.
00:00:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:00:28There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:00:31I'm not staying here.
00:00:32You must stay.
00:00:35I heard you stay to the whole thing for attention.
00:00:39Charles!
00:00:40We need to talk.
00:00:41If you don't do anything about it,
00:00:43it's only going to get worse.
00:00:46You're lying to everyone, including her.
00:00:50You didn't have to come.
00:00:52Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:00:58I've always described the world in words.
00:01:06People, moments, places.
00:01:09All through metaphors and margins.
00:01:12You okay?
00:01:13Like my mom.
00:01:15Self-made, stubborn, and never wrong.
00:01:18Almost there.
00:01:20You excited for your first day?
00:01:21She calls this a fresh start.
00:01:23I call it terrifying.
00:01:31You've got this.
00:01:32Just be yourself.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:36I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Got a daydream running through my brain every day.
00:01:51Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:55World to poor, but I'm sick anyway.
00:01:59I want to say goodbye.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:06Morning, class.
00:02:09And you're not seated because?
00:02:11I don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah, a new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:22Now, there's a spot, next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles' case, Sherry.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God, what is she?
00:02:31Quiet, Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:02:45Charles, move your things.
00:02:57I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:03:00From what?
00:03:01Sleeping.
00:03:02From everything.
00:03:03If anything, Charles, Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
00:03:07She was top of her class at her previous school.
00:03:10With all due respect, sir, her previous school was American.
00:03:15I highly doubt that.
00:03:18That's enough.
00:03:20She can sit here.
00:03:21It's fine.
00:03:25Back to Golding.
00:03:27You got it.
00:03:28I'm Sherry Vaughan.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:30It's very important that we look at the UNT team.
00:03:33What do you think about their experience of the time?
00:03:40Wait, you sat next to Charles?
00:03:42She didn't.
00:03:43You totally shut her down.
00:03:44Oh, knew it.
00:03:45Don't take it past me.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:48Can everyone stop acting like the goal was getting into his pants?
00:03:51What?
00:03:52He's hot.
00:03:53Everyone kind of is.
00:03:56I...
00:03:57I've seen Connor.
00:03:58He's not my type.
00:03:59You're joking.
00:04:00I don't find bullies attractive.
00:04:02Hey!
00:04:03Be careful.
00:04:04You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:04:06The what?
00:04:07His family basically own the school.
00:04:10And the town.
00:04:11Maybe even the country.
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:13Everyone's tried to get close.
00:04:14No one can get past his ego.
00:04:16You're not the first to get iced.
00:04:18Okay, first of all, I wasn't iced.
00:04:20It's more like a mutual decision.
00:04:23And second, I think he's arrogant, cold, thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated, like he's faking out.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:37What?
00:04:38No, go on.
00:04:39You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:56Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:05:02We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:06Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:25Anything exciting, Captain?
00:05:27Not really.
00:05:28Super uneventful.
00:05:29Really?
00:05:30How's your new job?
00:05:32Yeah, all right.
00:05:33Get this?
00:05:34They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:05:36Seriously?
00:05:37Hmm.
00:05:38Apparently, the young master won't mind the company.
00:05:40The young master.
00:05:42This is your boss's house.
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:47That's incredible.
00:05:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:50It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:55Wait here.
00:05:56I'll talk to the butler.
00:05:58Wow.
00:05:59Rich people.
00:06:00You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:02Stephen King.
00:06:03First edition.
00:06:04I'm breaking and entering now.
00:06:05How American of you.

00:06:12I...

00:06:14You've been paying rent, you've been paying rent, you've been paying rent more.
00:06:19You've been paying rent, you've been paying rent, you've been Давай, I've been paying
00:06:20solder, I've been paying rent, I'm gonna pay rent and it a while.
00:06:21How American and I'm gonna pay if anything out for it?
00:06:26I'm breaking and entering now.
00:06:29How American of you.
00:06:30I...
00:06:40You've been paying rent
00:06:42here in my head
00:06:44tried to fight it hard
00:06:52You can get up now.
00:06:53I... I'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,
00:07:18apparently,
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.
00:07:27Is she what?
00:07:28There...
00:07:29There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:07:31You see,
00:07:32I'm not actually moving in.
00:07:34Is that so?
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36I'm not staying here.
00:07:37Like, at all.
00:07:38That's a shame.
00:07:39Your mother seemed quite pleased
00:07:40with the arrangement.
00:07:41Well,
00:07:42I just don't think
00:07:43it's appropriate.
00:07:44Well,
00:07:45if you're sure,
00:07:46then absolutely not.
00:07:49Come on, Alice.
00:07:51You
00:07:52must
00:07:53stay.
00:07:54It'll be...
00:07:55fun.
00:07:57My dear...
00:07:58classmate.
00:08:01I'm dead.
00:08:02Like, mentally,
00:08:03socially,
00:08:04and actually dead.
00:08:12Just trying to figure out
00:08:14how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:08:17Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:08:19You've been through hell.
00:08:20I wish I'd never find someone
00:08:21to make my head spin around.
00:08:24Actually, no.
00:08:25I'm never gonna be the thing I need.
00:08:26They all just let me go.
00:08:27This is hell.
00:08:30Hi.
00:08:31Good morning.
00:08:39Wow.
00:08:46So, 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.
00:08:59Okay.
00:09:00How long is this thing gonna take?
00:09:02Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:04Five miles to school.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08If I sprint,
00:09:09maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:09:12Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:18Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:19Wh-
00:09:19What are you doing here?
00:09:21Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait.
00:09:27Did you come back for me?
00:09:30Relax.
00:09:32I forgot my textbook.
00:09:33Don't flatter yourself.
00:09:35Wait!
00:09:39Since you're already here,
00:09:40maybe you could be a decent person
00:09:43and give me a ride.
00:09:47No.
00:09:49Seriously?
00:09:49Your car is huge!
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:54And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:09:56Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:10:03Unbelievable!
00:10:04Oh!
00:10:14Ashford Institute, please.
00:10:16Who needs that entitled brat anyway?
00:10:21Sir,
00:10:22you called the cab.
00:10:23Why don't just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:32Why don't just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33And have the whole school go crazy.
00:10:36She's new.
00:10:36Everybody's already talking.
00:10:38So 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.
00:10:59Mr. Kenwood.
00:11:05Care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:08Not particularly.
00:11:10Oh, I insist.
00:11:12You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:11:15I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:11:17On the contrary.
00:11:19I think his ending is...
00:11:22weak.
00:11:23Wait, wait.
00:11:24Must you read it?
00:11:25Quiet.
00:11:28That's an interesting take.
00:11:29Explain.
00:11:32He had the set up for something brutal.
00:11:35Something honest.
00:11:36But in the end,
00:11:37he backed out.
00:11:38He could have left the boys on the island.
00:11:40Forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability.
00:11:43Let them choose survival.
00:11:45Or death.
00:11:46But instead,
00:11:47he gave them a rescue boat.
00:11:49Slapped a happily ever after
00:11:50on a book about savagery.
00:11:55It'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,
00:12:07a critique of Golding's mercy.
00:12:12Anyone disagree?
00:12:13I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:12:19It's not mercy, it's irony.
00:12:21How so?
00:12:23The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:12:28You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:12:30Golding didn't save them,
00:12:31he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:12:32That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
00:12:33You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:34In some ways,
00:12:35but not harsh enough.
00:12:36Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity,
00:12:38but still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:12:39And the civilized world?
00:12:40Toxic, violent,
00:12:41he didn't call that out.
00:12:42It's a critique of toxic masculinity,
00:12:43but still,
00:12:44Golding sympathized with them.
00:12:45And the civilized world?
00:12:46Toxic, violent,
00:12:47he didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:12:48So yeah,
00:12:49I don't think Golding pushed far enough,
00:12:50but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:12:52I think it's a happy ending.
00:12:53This is a great ending.
00:12:54To save them,
00:12:55he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:12:57That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
00:12:59You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:13:00In some ways,
00:13:01but not harsh enough.
00:13:02Yes,
00:13:03it's a critique of toxic masculinity,
00:13:04but still,
00:13:05Golding sympathized with them.
00:13:07And the civilized world?
00:13:08Toxic, violent,
00:13:09he didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:13:10So yeah,
00:13:11I don't think Golding pushed far enough,
00:13:12but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:13:15Thank you, Miss Keaton.
00:13:17Well said.
00:13:19Anyone else?
00:13:22Both opinions are valid.
00:13:24Okay, that's kind of epic.
00:13:25And let's not forget,
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?
00:13:45Well,
00:13:46you're new.
00:13:47And apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:13:49A what now?
00:13:50You two are in the middle of the most epic feud after its scene in years.
00:13:55We're not even fighting.
00:13:56Well, according to everyone,
00:13:57you confessed your love on day one,
00:13:59got rejected,
00:14:00begged to sit next to him,
00:14:02got rejected again.
00:14:03And today in class,
00:14:05you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings,
00:14:09and stormed out in tears.
00:14:11You were there, Sherry.
00:14:13That is not what happened.
00:14:15Doesn't matter.
00:14:17People believe what they want to believe,
00:14:19and they want Charles to be flawless,
00:14:21untouchable.
00:14:22Wow.
00:14:23Is misogyny like a rich kid thing,
00:14:26or just a British specialty?
00:14:27Honestly,
00:14:28both.
00:14:29But,
00:14:30seriously Alice,
00:14:31some people already see you as a threat.
00:14:33Okay.
00:14:43Loaded.
00:14:44Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:02Hello?
00:15:03Is somebody out there?
00:15:07Oh, come on!
00:15:09Fine.
00:15:23Fine.
00:15:25Fine.
00:15:38Seriously?
00:15:41Oh, shit.
00:15:47What the hell?
00:15:48Anne.
00:15:50I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:15:52Alice.
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.
00:15:59Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:16:08Shit.
00:16:09Alice!
00:16:14Alice!
00:16:15Alice!
00:16:16Mr. Pelton.
00:16:17Charles 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 sent over.
00:16:23Check the common room in the library.
00:16:26I'll take the rest.
00:16:30Alice!
00:16:31Come on, Alice.
00:16:44Close your eyes and jump.
00:16:47It's fine.
00:16:49You're fine.
00:16:51You're fine.
00:16:52You're fine.
00:16:52No.
00:16:57I'm not alone.
00:17:00I'm not alone.
00:17:02I'm not alone.
00:17:08Don't be shy.
00:17:09I'm not alone.
00:17:12You're fine.
00:17:14You're fine.
00:17:15I'm not alone.
00:17:16You're fine.
00:17:17Are you happy with how we end?
00:17:24What are you doing here?
00:17:29Can you get off me first?
00:17:33Did I ask for two months?
00:17:37Isn't my fault, I thought we would pray.
00:17:40You're welcome.
00:17:42I didn't say thank you.
00:17:44I figured saving your life might turn me basic manners.
00:17:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:17:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:17:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:17:54Wow.
00:17:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:59Wouldn't recommend it.
00:18:00You're heavier than you look.
00:18:03I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:18:10Are you okay?
00:18:12No, but I will be.
00:18:14Someone did this on purpose.
00:18:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:18:20Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:18:21You shouldn't have to.
00:18:25I'm sorry.
00:18:27I'm sorry.
00:18:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:18:42Don't get used to it.
00:18:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:47Alice?
00:18:48Over here.
00:18:49Oh my God.
00:18:50You okay?
00:18:55Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah, I just took a weird shower.
00:18:59Top exploded.
00:19:02Come on, let's get you home.
00:19:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:15I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:19:19I know how this place works.
00:19:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:49I'll look into it.
00:19:52Charles?
00:19:54Good on you.
00:19:56How many of you would speak up?
00:19:57I 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,
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.
00:20:18I don't know.
00:20:18I don't know.
00:20:27Being a scholarship student has its perks,
00:20:38like 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, being here means standing behind
00:20:55and watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:20:59you can never afford.
00:21:02Have fun.
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:21:10The 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.
00:21:21What are you doing here?
00:21:41Do you not believe in shirts?
00:21:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:45It's comfortable.
00:21:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:21:48This 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.
00:21:57Part not to,
00:21:58when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:02Um, buzzkill?
00:22:05Cockblock.
00:22:06You're insufferable.
00:22:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:22:09You know what?
00:22:10I don't get it.
00:22:11Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:22:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:22:14Why do you think?
00:22:21Where would I go?
00:22:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:22:27Florence.
00:22:28Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:22:32Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:22:37Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:22:42Next stop, Napoli, marvel at Pompeii, pretend you're shocked, ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:49The final stop, Paris, the ultimate city of romance.
00:22:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:23:01That's word for word.
00:23:04I told you, I've done this tour so many times I could run it.
00:23:08Okay, 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.
00:23:32It's two words.
00:23:35You're weird.
00:23:36You're loud.
00:23:37You're annoying.
00:23:37You're in my kitchen.
00:23:38You have three other kitchens.
00:23:40And I prefer this one.
00:23:42Just for today.
00:23:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:23:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:23:46You don't have to come.
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:48After 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.
00:24:32I'm not selling my body.
00:24:39I'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.
00:24:55Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:25:00No, I'm...
00:25:01Jesus.
00:25:03Wait.
00:25:04You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:25:08I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up.
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled.
00:25:16Are you sure about that?
00:25:17I present to you.
00:25:21Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:25:24You're welcome.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:27Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:25:30It'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 you a hundred 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 I won't.
00:26:10Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:34911, look for your emergency.
00:26:35911, look for your emergency.
00:26:40911, what's with your emergency?
00:26:42It's my dad.
00:26:43He needs help.
00:26:44He just had a stroke.
00:26:45Okay, miss.
00:26:46Hurricane's constant traffic shut down.
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:49Please, he's not well.
00:26:51I understand.
00:26:52Can you confirm your address?
00:26:55Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:26:57Hi.
00:26:59My daughter.
00:27:01Please, stay with me, Dad.
00:27:02Please.
00:27:03No.
00:27:07No.
00:27:08Please, please wake up.
00:27:14Dad, please.
00:27:16Please don't leave me.
00:27:17I don't know.
00:27:47You... what are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying.
00:27:58Loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right.
00:28:03Sorry for the night.
00:28:05Wait, you know Snarky come back?
00:28:08Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:28:14You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:18Hurricane hit New York.
00:28:21Power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:23Dad had a stroke.
00:28:26But he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:29I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:28:36Peaceful.
00:28:38Like he was asleep.
00:28:39But he wasn't.
00:28:45So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:48This used to be our hometown.
00:28:51After Dad left,
00:28:53we had nowhere else to go.
00:28:55What are you doing?
00:29:05Come on.
00:29:06Come on.
00:29:06Wait, I thought the peril 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.
00:29:46This is 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 one request.
00:30:10What is it?
00:30:21Are you ever going to make a move?
00:30:23Wait.
00:30:23Give me a second.
00:30:24I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:30And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:30:32inside a literal mansion,
00:30:34you chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:37Got a problem?
00:30:38It's just so cool.
00:30:39Like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:42It's literally a board game.
00:30:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:47Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:50For the tenth time,
00:30:51it moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One.
00:30:55Two.
00:30:56Then turn.
00:30:58There.
00:31:00Happy.
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:03God, no.
00:31:04That's suicide.
00:31:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:31:07You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:31:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:31:11You literally haven't won me in past arguments.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:15It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh, my.
00:31:17No.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:18What's going to do that?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Can I not do that?
00:31:22There we go.
00:31:22You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:31:26Glad to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:31:30All yourself up as I'm moving on.
00:31:32Oh, you're showing up at me with the word.
00:31:38Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:45Um, who are you?
00:31:59What are you doing here?
00:32:01Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:32:03Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:32:06Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:32:08When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night, from Zurich, you didn't answer my messages.
00:32:14I missed you.
00:32:16Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:18Apparently, I'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, considering the engagement and all.
00:32:34Engagement?
00:32:36Oh, did 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.
00:32:47Where did you find this little toy?
00:32:50Serena?
00:32:50I didn't hear you, you know.
00:32:52Oh, an American.
00:32:55How refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:08Where 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, can you please just stop?
00:33:32What?
00:33:33Teasing the help?
00:33:34That's her.
00:33:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:44Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:33:45Oh, my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying you live with Charles.
00:34:06Oh, 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.
00:34:29Come to the music room.
00:34:46Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah, okay.
00:34:51Tell her, is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously.
00:35:01This is getting old.
00:35:13Wait.
00:35:15Music room, what?
00:35:16James, is anybody in here earlier?
00:35:22Just Miss Serena.
00:35:23Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir, it's raining.
00:35:40Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:35:43You're not that girl again.
00:35:44Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:55Rooks moving straight lines.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58Bishops move diagonally.
00:36:00And knights...
00:36:00The knight's the weird one.
00:36:07Rooks.
00:36:09Straight lines.
00:36:11Bishops.
00:36:13Diagonally.
00:36:14Hello?
00:36:15Hello?
00:36:34The text.
00:36:36Are you okay?
00:36:38Are you hurt?
00:36:39I...
00:36:39I'm okay.
00:36:41I...
00:36:41I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:43I didn't see the message.
00:36:45Serena took my phone.
00:36:46I didn't know.
00:36:47I'm sorry.
00:36:48I'm...
00:36:49Okay.
00:36:51You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:52You're freezing.
00:36:53You didn't have to come.
00:36:57Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:59Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:05Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:37:08That wasn't a mistake.
00:37:24If that's what you're about to say.
00:37:25I...
00:37:25I...
00:37:27I...
00:37:27I...
00:37:27I...
00:37:28Wasn't going to.
00:37:41I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:44What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46What?
00:37:47Do you want to dance to the rhythm of your hope?
00:37:51This is not forgiving.
00:37:53I'm flying in the eye of the...
00:37:54Tell me what you said.
00:37:56Tell me where you want to go.
00:37:58Get me out of the way.
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:10Oh, you wish.
00:38:12Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:19That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:27Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:28I might hold you to that.
00:38:30You'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.
00:38:52Are you okay?
00:38:52Fly me to outer space.
00:38:57That's where I'll see your face.
00:39:02And have you with me.
00:39:07It may seem dark.
00:39:11But you always light my spark.
00:39:15You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies we secretly married.
00:39:30Honestly?
00:39:31Right.
00:39:34I 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.
00:39:41They all just let me down.
00:39:42But baby, you saved me
00:39:45Till I'm brand new
00:39:48Everything's so different now
00:39:51So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:56Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:58Because it's weird.
00:40:00And I like weird.
00:40:09Check.
00:40:10Check.
00:40:12You'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.
00:40:23I will be there for you, babe.
00:40:27I'll be there for the darkest days.
00:40:31I'll hold you in my arms.
00:40:33Charles.
00:40:35We need to talk.
00:40:36I expected poor judgment.
00:40:46But this in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:50No.
00:40:51Kissing the servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:55Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:56We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:59Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:03She isn't just...
00:41:04You have no right to barge in.
00:41:06On my property.
00:41:11I care about her.
00:41:13I'm not ashamed of that.
00:41:13That's enough.
00:41:14Why do you care?
00:41:18We'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.
00:41:33You're ready to give up everything for a girl you barely know?
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:42Then, are you sure she's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you.
00:41:54Do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:01You left us no choice, son.
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:08Pelton.
00:42:09It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:42:11Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioral code in a public setting with photographic evidence,
00:42:21would that warrant a review?
00:42:23Yes, sir.
00:42:24So, answer me again.
00:42:30Do you think she's ready to lose everything, just to be with you?
00:42:34Charles, what happened?
00:42:47Did your parents say something?
00:42:48Are they mad?
00:42:48Is everything okay?
00:42:50Pack your things.
00:42:51You 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.
00:43:01Wait, what?
00:43:02Why?
00:43:03Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this.
00:43:05I'll get a job.
00:43:06Stop, stop it.
00:43:06You 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.
00:43:14No trust.
00:43:15No support.
00:43:17Nothing.
00:43:17Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:43:20We don't need all that.
00:43:21We can...
00:43:22Do 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?
00:43:38Nothing.
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.
00:44:07Or 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.
00:44:20My world.
00:44:22I was bored into this.
00:44:24I am not choosing between this
00:44:26and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:34Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:36You don't mean it.
00:44:37It was fun.
00:44:39But you?
00:44:39You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:43I'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.
00:45:03Go to sleep, Alice.
00:45:04This fall is a little more than I expected
00:45:19In so deep I can barely see myself
00:45:26Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted
00:45:31But I find that's the place to test myself
00:45:37Oops.
00:45:47Oh, sorry.
00:46:05Didn't see that.
00:46:07Then again, nobody does.
00:46:09Move, please.
00:46:12Try begging.
00:46:13You 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.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:43Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:46:58But one pair surprised me in a good way
00:47:02Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton
00:47:04Would 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
00:47:13I thought that you should know that I would have
00:47:17Can hang around
00:47:18Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:47:23Like logic and chaos
00:47:25Or silence and noise
00:47:27Different worlds
00:47:29Different rules
00:47:30At first glance, they clash
00:47:34But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:47:38Confusion
00:47:39Curiosity
00:47:40But in the end, some stories aren't about staying
00:47:43And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:57And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:47:59Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:06Miss Keaton
00:48:06Dramatic as always
00:48:09All right
00:48:10Thank you, Alice
00:48:12That was
00:48:13Laid
00:48:14Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder
00:48:17That good literature
00:48:19Always stirs something
00:48:21Hello?
00:48:24Hi, here'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
00:48:30Name your price
00:48:31We'll make it work
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:44That's kind of insane
00:48:46Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:48:50Can
00:48:51Can I meet them?
00:48:55I want to
00:48:56Please
00:48:57Or at least tell me a name
00:48:59Sorry, they wish to stay in office
00:49:05So they're only interested in words, not the person
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them
00:49:08I'm sorry for to keep them
00:49:09They were very good
00:49:10I think the most generous offer we've ever given a disability
00:49:13I see
00:49:15Congratulations again
00:49:16You 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
00:49:26That's iconic
00:49:28You okay?
00:49:38Yeah
00:49:39I'm so excited
00:49:41It's done, Mr. Kenwood
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:49:56Good
00:49:58It's a generous deal
00:50:00You sure you don't want it to know?
00:50:03No
00:50:04No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:50:07Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to
00:50:22Your engagement announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:50:32And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:50:37It's all coming together beautifully
00:50:41I've lost my appetite
00:50:45I'll go check on him
00:50:50What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:00Disengagement
00:51:00It's not happening
00:51:02It's not up to you
00:51:03You know that
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this
00:51:06You've changed
00:51:08Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:51:14Charles
00:51:43You're the sponsor
00:51:44You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time
00:51:47So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone
00:51:52Including her
00:51:53I protected her
00:51:56You loved her
00:51:59Still do
00:52:00Let it go, Serena
00:52:04There's no point
00:52:13I need a favour
00:52:16Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:52:19And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up
00:52:23Anything?
00:52:28No?
00:52:30She's not answering
00:52:31The interview's almost over
00:52:33Well, she won't just not show up
00:52:34Something's wrong
00:52:36Where'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
00:52:43James, track someone for me
00:52:49Wait, where are you going?
00:52:52Chill, okay
00:53:01We won't hurt you
00:53:02Yeah, we're just supposed to
00:53:05Keep you awake from the interview
00:53:06That's it
00:53:06Shit, come back!
00:53:16I remember how men
00:53:20Didn't need a second guess
00:53:24I remember how men
00:53:28Didn't need a second guess
00:53:32Hey, hey, hey, Alice
00:53:56Alice?
00:53:56Alice, stay with me
00:53:58Stay with me
00:53:59Alice
00:54:00Alice
00:54:01You're awake?
00:54:08Where, where am I?
00:54:11A local clinic
00:54:12Passerby brought you in
00:54:13Passerby?
00:54:16He found you on the side of the road
00:54:18He had to leave
00:54:19He didn't leave a name
00:54:20Oh
00:54:22The interview
00:54:25What time is it?
00:54:26Easy
00:54:26It's okay
00:54:27Someone already contacted the university
00:54:29And sent in your writing samples
00:54:32They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:54:34Wait, what?
00:54:34Who?
00:54:36No idea
00:54:36But it's all taken care of
00:54:38What did you say?
00:54:43Nothing
00:54:43I just
00:54:45Had a dream
00:54:47I got him!
00:54:59Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:55:07He's not here
00:55:09Oh, you didn't know
00:55:12Know what?
00:55:14He left
00:55:14A few days ago
00:55:16Yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:18Honestly, Asher's been quieter without him
00:55:21It's probably for the best
00:55:22Come on
00:55:22Us?
00:55:33The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:55:35Chaotic
00:55:37Unexpected
00:55:39And with his absence
00:55:43Come on
00:55:43It ended quietly
00:55:46Like summers always do
00:55:51And joining us today
00:56:05The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:56:09Alice Keaton
00:56:10Thank you for having me
00:56:11No, your words moved millions
00:56:14They say your stories feel real
00:56:17Especially the ones about love
00:56:19Thank you
00:56:19Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:56:22How's your dating life like these days?
00:56:25No comment
00:56:26A little bird told me that the past four years
00:56:29Has been just writing and working
00:56:31Not even a single date
00:56:32Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:56:34She caught me
00:56:35Still no comment
00:56:36Alright, alright
00:56:37No matter what you say
00:56:39You write love like someone who's lived it
00:56:43If you're so real
00:56:44Because once
00:56:45I did
00:56:46That's why today we're here
00:56:47With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:56:48That's why today we're sharing the story behind Alice Keaton
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
00:56:56Congratulations Alice
00:57:08The numbers just came in
00:57:09You broke your own record
00:57:11That's incredible
00:57:14We're thinking celebration
00:57:15Press
00:57:16Photos
00:57:17Maybe tonight
00:57:18Actually
00:57:19There's something I'd rather do
00:57:21I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:57:26My sponsor
00:57:28You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah
00:57:30Just once
00:57:31Tonight
00:57:327pm
00:57:33Good evening
00:57:45Good evening
00:57:50May I sit?
00:58:03Hi
00:58:04Hi
00:58:05You look well
00:58:08And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:58:13You always did
00:58:15You were expecting someone else
00:58:18I was
00:58:20Hoping
00:58:22But I guess I always knew
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you
00:58:27Or to reopen anything
00:58:29I just wanted to say congratulations
00:58:33Oh
00:58:35Thank you
00:58:37I didn't know you were still reading
00:58:41You were rich enough not to do so
00:58:43Always
00:58:45Either way
00:58:47Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:49So
00:58:50No
00:58:50No
00:58:51You've
00:58:52You earned everything
00:58:53Every word
00:58:57Every page
00:58:58Every reader
00:59:01That's what I came to say
00:59:03It was good to see you again
00:59:09I hope
00:59:10Charles
00:59:10Can you just
00:59:13Wait a little longer
00:59:16I think I knew it was you
00:59:24There was one email
00:59:27You said something
00:59:30Felt familiar
00:59:31Really
00:59:32Kind of had that
00:59:33Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:59:35Very on brand
00:59:37I should have anonymized my grammar
00:59:40Too late
00:59:40Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:59:42Still the only girl I know
00:59:45Who flirts through punctuation
00:59:46Still the only guy I know
00:59:48Who uses wiles unironically
00:59:49You've changed
00:59:53But
00:59:55Not really
00:59:57You haven't changed
01:00:00But maybe you've grown into who you really were
01:00:04Anyway
01:00:06I wanted to say
01:00:08Thank you
01:00:10And
01:00:12Thanks for being here tonight
01:00:14You didn't have to come
01:00:16Don't tell me what I have to do
01:00:19You didn't have to come
01:00:23Don't tell me
01:00:26What 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
01:00:51No
01:00:58No
01:01:03I see
01:01:08I know my answer now
01:01:13I didn't have the power back then
01:01:14Not 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
01:01:23I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:01:27So you just disappeared
01:01:29Without a word
01:01:31If you had the chance to see the world
01:01:36Without me weighing you down
01:01:37If you still chose me after that
01:01:40You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:01:46But you made a choice for me
01:01:49Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:01:54I would have chosen you anyway
01:01:58I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:02:05You weren't
01:02:07But I never claimed to be that smart
01:02:12This is me
01:02:21Right
01:02:22I'm still mad at you, you know
01:02:31I'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
01:02:49Who you haven't seen in four years
01:02:51To come into your hotel
01:02:53At approximately 11pm
01:02:56You were right
01:02:58You never were that smart
01:03:00You don't have to come
01:03:02Don't tell me what I have to do
01:03:05It's almost like you say
01:03:08Best things better go
01:03:12Stop quoting yourself
01:03:20I recycle
01:03:21It saves energy
01:03:22This feels wildly irresponsible
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer
01:03:27You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:03:30I said that
01:03:31Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:03:34Tells it is
01:03:35You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:03:38That is cute to me
01:03:43Don't you dare quote poetry
01:03:44I wasn't going to
01:03:45I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:48Then shut up
01:03:50And prove it
01:03:52I still can't believe this is happening
01:04:00I told you
01:04:01That you're the worst enemies
01:04:02Or secretly married
01:04:03And I told you
01:04:04They're both
01:04:05I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:04:34Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:37Then I lie
01:04:38Respectfully
01:04:39I vow to keep choosing you
01:04:43Loudly
01:04:45Quietly
01:04:46Always
01:04:48Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:04:51Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean, he did beat her at Sarkis
01:04:57I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:05:03Especially over Shakespeare
01:05:05I vow to write you in your every story
01:05:08Even when I say I didn't
01:05:10You will always be part of my life
01:05:13If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:05:16I'm out
01:05:17No you're not
01:05:17You're going to cry harder
01:05:18I can't believe you picked Paris
01:05:30I can't believe you picked Paris
01:05:44Such a cliche honeymoon destination
01:05:46Guard your phone
01:05:49Relax
01:05:50Just don't dress like a walking inheritance
01:05:52And you'll be fine
01:05:53You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:05:58Please, Alice, go change
01:06:01Don't tell me what I have to do
01:06:04No
01:06:08No, no, no, no
01:06:10That is not an invitation
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes
01:06:13Overruled
01:06:13You look much better without them
01:06:16To the ones who loved in silence
01:06:24In chaos
01:06:25In chapters
01:06:25You will find your way home
01:06:29Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:06:34But I don't want to die alone
01:06:37No
01:06:38No
01:06:38No
01:06:39No
01:06:40No
01:06:41No
01:06:42No
01:06:43No
01:06:44No
01:06:45It's up to us
01:07:04To make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books
01:07:08Help us develop, learn, and grow
01:07:15Thank you
01:07:16Thank you
01:07:16Thank you
