00:03:21it's more like
00:03:22a mutual decision
00:03:24and second
00:03:24I think he's arrogant
00:03:26cold
00:03:27thinks he's untouchable
00:03:29but if you really look at Charles
00:03:31he just seems isolated

00:09:00unbelievable
00:09:11ashford institute please
00:09:12thank you
00:09:17Who needs that entitled brat anyway?
00:09:19Sir, you called the cab. Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:28Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:09:30Then have the whole school go crazy.
00:09:32She's new. Everybody's already talking.
00:09:35So you're worried about her?
00:09:37You're overthinking. I just don't like drama.
00:09:43Asshole.
00:09:47Hey.
00:09:49Morning, Klaus.
00:09:51Back to Golding. Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:10:01Mr. Kenwood, care to share what you found so amusing?
00:10:05Not particularly.
00:10:07Oh, I insist. You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:10:11I'm not entertained by Golding, sir. On the contrary.
00:10:15I think his ending is...
00:10:17Weak.
00:10:19Wait, wait. You've actually read it?
00:10:21Quiet.
00:10:23That's an interesting take. Explain.
00:10:29He had the set up for something brutal.
00:10:31Something 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.
00:10:39Let them choose survival.
00:10:41Or death.
00:10:43But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:10:45Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:10:49It's a waste.
00:10:53Don't you think?
00:10:55I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:10:57Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:10:59I'm always a model student, sir.
00:11:01Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:11:03So, a critique of Golding's mercy.
00:11:09Anyone disagree?
00:11:11I 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.
00:11:41Golding didn't save them, he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:11:45That's an interesting take, Miss Keeter.
00:11:47You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:49In some ways, but not harsh enough.
00:11:53Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized 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, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:12:13Thank you, Miss Keeter.
00:12:15Well said.
00:12:16Anyone else?
00:12:19Both opinions are valid.
00:12:21Okay, that's kind of epic.
00:12:23And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:12:27Good literature will always divide opinion.
00:12:33What's happening to me?
00:12:40Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:43Well, you're new, and apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:12:47A what now?
00:12:48You two are in the middle of the most epic feud as you've seen in years.
00:12:52We're not even fighting.
00:12:53Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected, begged to sit next to him, got rejected again.
00:13:01And 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.
00:13:13Doesn't matter.
00:13:14People believe what they want to believe, and they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable.
00:13:20Wow.
00:13:22Is misogyny like a rich kid thing, or just a British specialty?
00:13:25Honestly, both.
00:13:27But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:13:38Okay.
00:13:40Loaded.
00:13:42Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:13:59Hello?
00:14:02Hello?
00:14:04Is somebody out there?
00:14:05Oh, come on!
00:14:20Fine.
00:14:35Seriously?
00:14:38Oh, shit.
00:14:44What the hell?
00:14:46Anne!
00:14:47I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:14:49She hasn't come home.
00:14:50Her phone is off.
00:14:51Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:14:56Yikes.
00:14:57Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:00Shit!
00:15:01Alice!
00:15:02Alice!
00:15:03Mr Pelton!
00:15:04Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:05I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:06She hasn't come home.
00:15:07I'll have it sent over.
00:15:08Check the common room in the library.
00:15:09I'll take the rest.
00:15:10Alice!
00:15:11Alice!
00:15:12Alice!
00:15:13Mr Pelton!
00:15:14Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:15I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:18She hasn't come home.
00:15:19I'll have it sent over.
00:15:21Check the common room in the library.
00:15:23I'll take the rest.
00:15:27Alice!
00:15:28Alice!
00:15:29Come on, Alice.
00:15:43Close your eyes and jump.
00:15:45It's fine.
00:15:46You're fine.
00:15:47You're fine.
00:15:58God!
00:16:21What...
00:16:22What are you doing here?
00:16:24Can you get off me first?
00:16:36You're welcome.
00:16:38I didn't say thank you.
00:16:40I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:16:43Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:46Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:48You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:50Wow.
00:16:52You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:16:56I wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:17:01I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:08Are you okay?
00:17:09No.
00:17:10But I will be.
00:17:13Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:14What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:17Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:17:19I didn't have to.
00:17:22I'm...
00:17:24Sorry.
00:17:31Sorry.
00:17:37Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:39Don't get used to it.
00:17:40I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:44Alice?
00:17:45Over here.
00:17:46I can't.
00:17:49You okay?
00:17:52Why are you drenched?
00:17:53Yeah.
00:17:54I just...
00:17:55took a weird shower.
00:17:56Tap exploded.
00:17:59Come on.
00:18:00Let's get you home.
00:18:01I just cheated, right?
00:18:02I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:16I know how this place works.
00:18:17If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:19I'll look into it.
00:18:20I'll look into it.
00:18:21Charles?
00:18:22I know how this place works.
00:18:23If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:28I'll look into it.
00:18:29Charles?
00:18:30Good on you.
00:18:31How many here would speak up?
00:18:32I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:18:33That's insane.
00:18:34I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:18:35That's insane.
00:18:36Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:18:37It was only going to be gone.
00:18:38I know how this place works.
00:18:39I know how this place works.
00:18:41If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:45I'll look into it.
00:18:47Charles?
00:18:50Good on you.
00:18:52How many here would speak up?
00:18:55I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:19:00That's insane.
00:19:01Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:04They're busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:19:07Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:13Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:16Being a scholarship student has its perks.
00:19:35Like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:42Hey, we miss you in Paris!
00:19:45There are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:48But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:19:52And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:19:58Have fun! Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:07The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:13So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:16What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:19Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:21It's comfortable.
00:20:22You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:24This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:25And this is not even your house. And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:27Just don't look. Go away.
00:20:29Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that. What do you guys call it?
00:20:33Um, buzzkill? Cock block?
00:20:34You're not.
00:20:35I'm not.
00:20:36I'm not.
00:20:37I'm not.
00:20:38I'm not.
00:20:39I'm not.
00:20:40I'm not.
00:20:41I'm not.
00:20:42I'm not.
00:20:43I'm not.
00:20:44You're not.
00:20:45I'm not.
00:20:46I'm not.
00:20:47I'm not.
00:20:48Yeah.
00:20:49I'm not.
00:20:50I'm not.
00:20:51I'm not.
00:20:52I'm not.
00:20:53I'm not.
00:20:54I'm not.
00:20:55And you're walking around dressed like that.
00:20:57What do you guys call it?
00:21:00Um, buzzkill?
00:21:01Cock block?
00:21:02You're insufferable.
00:21:03You're insufferable.
00:21:04You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:07You know what?
00:21:08I don't get it.
00:21:09Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:10I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing.
00:21:12Why do you think?
00:21:18Where would I go?
00:21:20I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:23Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian.
00:21:29Or Titian, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:33Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing
00:21:38city on Earth.
00:21:39The next stop, Napoli.
00:21:41Marvel at Pompeii, pretend you're shocked.
00:21:44Ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:45The final stop, Harry, the ultimate city of romance.
00:21:51And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:21:58That's word for word.
00:22:00I told you.
00:22:01I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:22:04Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:22:06Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:08Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:22:11Twice.
00:22:12Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:15Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:17Standard rooms in five-star hotels.
00:22:19No thank you.
00:22:21Wow.
00:22:22Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:24That's unfortunate.
00:22:25It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:27One word of advice?
00:22:28Shut up.
00:22:29That's two words.
00:22:32You're weird.
00:22:33You're loud.
00:22:34You're annoying.

00:22:37And I prefer this one.
00:22:39Just for today.

00:22:42Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:43You didn't have to come.

00:28:22we have our own generator
00:28:23wow rich people houses her
00:28:25is her. Just for tonight, I'll allow it. Allow what? You can call this place your
00:28:33house, so enjoy it. Stephen King's first edition, Alan Gisberg's handwritten
00:28:38letters, Jane Austen's notes, all yours.
00:28:45This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:28:52Careful, it almost sounded sweet. Don't push it. Okay then.
00:29:03I have one request. What is it?
00:29:16Are you ever going to make a move? Wait, give me a second, I'm thinking.
00:29:20You had one wish, anything in the world, and in the middle of a thunderstorm, inside a literal
00:29:28mansion, you chose chess. Yeah, got a problem? It's just so cool, like spies or genius villains
00:29:37in movies. It's literally a board game. Says the guy who owns a custom set. Wait, does the knight go
00:29:44diagonally? For the tenth time, it moves in an L shape. One, two, then turn. There.
00:29:55Happy? Ecstatic.
00:29:59That's suicide. Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice. You are playing checkers at a chessboard. Still
00:30:05beating you in sarcasm. You literally haven't won me past arguments. Golding disagrees.
00:30:10It's going to be a long night. Oh my, no. Why, what's going on? You, you can't do, you can't do that.
00:30:17Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:40Um, who are you?
00:30:54What are you doing here? Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:30:58Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour. Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:03When did you get back? Last night, from Zurich. You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:07I missed you. Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you. Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:16Your parents were so thrilled. They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:19I wanted to deliver the happy news myself. They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:25You know, considering the engagement and all. Engagement. Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:33He's promised. Old money stuff. Very retro. I didn't agree to that.
00:31:38You didn't have to. It's never up to us. Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:45Serena? I can hear you, you know. Oh, an American. How refreshing.
00:31:55Goodbye. Wait.
00:32:03Where are you going? You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:16You only paid for dinner. I have homework. Goodbye.
00:32:23Your little toy has quite the temper. Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:27What? Teasing the help? That's her. That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:39Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:32:42Oh my god, what's wrong with people? They're saying you live with Charles. Oh, and Serena.
00:33:02What about her? Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:07Of course she did.
00:33:21Careful, Alice. You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:24I'm sorry.
00:33:39Come to the music room. Urgent.
00:33:41Oh, I just remembered I need to check something. You guys go ahead.
00:33:44Yeah, okay.
00:33:45Hello. Is someone there? Seriously. This is getting old.
00:34:08Wait. Music room? What?
00:34:11James?
00:34:15Was anybody in here earlier? Just Miss Serena. Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:20Sir? Sir, it's raining.
00:34:34Come on, Alice. You're fine. You're not that girl again.
00:34:41Wait. Can you remind me one more time?
00:34:48Okay. Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:51Yeah. Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:54And knights... The knight's the weird one.
00:35:01Rooks. Straight lines. Bishops. Diagonally.
00:35:08Rooks.
00:35:09Hello?
00:35:29The text.
00:35:29Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:35:33I... I'm okay. I... I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:37I... I didn't see the message.
00:35:39Serena took my phone. I... I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:35:42I'm... okay.
00:35:45You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:46You're freezing.
00:35:47You didn't have to come.
00:35:48Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:35:53Give me hope that feels like home.
00:36:00Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:16That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:36:20I... wasn't going to.
00:36:22You're really bad at this, you know.
00:36:37What? Kissing?
00:36:38Hiding feelings.
00:36:39What? I...
00:36:49Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:04Oh, you wish.
00:37:07Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:37:10You kissed me.
00:37:13That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:19Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:37:22I might hold you to that.
00:37:34You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:37The list is on the board.
00:37:40One, two, three, four.
00:37:45Are you okay?
00:37:46Fly me to outer space.
00:37:51That's where I'll see your face.
00:37:55And have you with me.
00:38:01It may seem dark, but you always like a high spark.
00:38:07You're distracting.
00:38:08You're welcome.
00:38:20They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:24Honestly?
00:38:25Both.
00:38:28I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:38:32No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:38:34They all just let me down.
00:38:36But baby, you saved me.
00:38:39Until I'm brand new, everything's so different now.
00:38:46So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:49Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:52Because it's weird, and I like weird.
00:38:56Check.
00:39:10You're cheating.
00:39:11I'm winning.
00:39:12There's a difference.
00:39:13You are very distracting.
00:39:15And you like it?
00:39:27Charles!
00:39:29We need to talk.
00:39:38I expected poor judgement.
00:39:40But this, in my house, it isn't what it looks like.
00:39:43No, kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:48Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:49We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:53Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:39:56She isn't just...
00:39:58You have no right to barge in.
00:40:00On my property.
00:40:05I care about her.
00:40:06I'm not ashamed of her.
00:40:07That's enough.
00:40:11Why do you care?
00:40:12We're protecting our son's future and our name.
00:40:17You think this protects me?
00:40:18You think she does not belong in your world?
00:40:25Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:29You're ready to give up everything for a girl you barely know?
00:40:35Yes.
00:40:35Then are you sure she's ready?
00:40:46I'm asking you, do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is,
00:40:52just to be with you?
00:40:53What are you talking about?
00:40:55You left us no choice, son.
00:40:57You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:01Pelton, it's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:04Ah, Mr. Kenwood, how can I help?
00:41:07If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence,
00:41:14would that warrant a review?
00:41:17Yes, sir.
00:41:17So, answer me again.
00:41:24Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:27What happened?
00:41:40Did your parents say something?
00:41:41Are they mad?
00:41:41Is everything okay?
00:41:44Pack your things.
00:41:46You can't stay here anymore.
00:41:48What?
00:41:50My parents fired your mother.
00:41:52She's leaving.
00:41:54So are you.
00:41:54Wait, what?
00:41:55Why?
00:41:56Is it because of us?
00:41:57We can fix this.
00:41:58I'll get a job, anything.
00:41:59Stop, stop it.
00:42:00You don't get it.
00:42:02If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:05Okay?
00:42:06No card, no trust, no support.
00:42:10Nothing.
00:42:11Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:42:13We don't need all that.
00:42:16Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:21So that's what this was?
00:42:23Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:42:27What did they promise you?
00:42:32Nothing.
00:42:35They just reminded me of what's real.
00:42:41Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:42:43You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:42:46What did they threaten you with?
00:42:48What did they threaten you with?
00:42:55This is the difference between me and you.
00:42:57What?
00:42:57You think you know me.
00:42:59Or what I have.
00:43:01You don't, Alice.
00:43:04You're still lying.
00:43:05I'm not, Alice.
00:43:07Look around you.
00:43:08This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:11It's my house.
00:43:14My world.
00:43:15I was bored into this.
00:43:17I am not choosing between this and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:27Don't do this, Charles.
00:43:29You don't mean it.
00:43:29Look, it was fun.
00:43:32But you?
00:43:34You don't compare to what I own.
00:43:38I'll survive the loss.
00:43:42Right.
00:43:42I should have known.
00:43:47Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:43:52You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:43:56Go to sleep, Alice.
00:43:57This fall is a little more than I expected
00:44:15And so deep I can barely see myself
00:44:22Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted
00:44:25But I find that's the place to test myself
00:44:31Oops
00:44:55Oh sorry, didn't see that
00:45:00Then again, nobody does
00:45:01Move please
00:45:03Try begging
00:45:06You know what, keep it
00:45:13Poor thing, so dramatic
00:45:20Dance
00:45:22Excuse me
00:45:24I warned you
00:45:25Walk away, Serena
00:45:27Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:45:51But one pair surprised me
00:45:53In a good way
00:45:54Charles Kenwood
00:45:56And Alice Keaton
00:45:57Would you mind giving us her short summary
00:46:00If she loves the sound of her own voice
00:46:02Better have it
00:46:03Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:46:16Like logic and chaos, like logic and chaos or silence and noise
00:46:20Different worlds, different rules
00:46:23At first glance they clash
00:46:27But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:46:31Confusion, curiosity
00:46:33But in the end, some stories aren't about staying
00:46:36And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:40And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:52Is she still talking about the essay
00:46:55Miss Keaton
00:46:59Dramatic as always
00:47:02Alright, thank you Alice
00:47:04That was
00:47:05Laid
00:47:06Are you okay?
00:47:09A reminder
00:47:09That good literature
00:47:11Always stirs something
00:47:13Hello?
00:47:17Hi, this is Alice Keaton
00:47:18This is Whitmore Press
00:47:19We've been following your work
00:47:20We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract
00:47:23Name your price
00:47:24We'll make it work
00:47:25Sorry, what?
00:47:26That's
00:47:30Kind of
00:47:32Insane
00:47:32Who's behind this?
00:47:34Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:47:36Can
00:47:37Can I meet them?
00:47:41I want to
00:47:42Please
00:47:43Or at least tell me a name
00:47:45Sorry, they wish to stay in office
00:47:50Since they're only interested in words, not the person
00:47:52I'd really like to meet them
00:47:54I'm sorry, please keep them
00:47:55They were very good
00:47:56I think it's the most jealous one we've ever given it in your answer
00:47:59I see
00:48:00Congratulations again
00:48:02You got the interview
00:48:07It's just an interview
00:48:08I haven't gotten it yet
00:48:10Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:48:12That's iconic
00:48:14You okay?
00:48:24Yeah
00:48:24I'm so excited
00:48:27It's done, Mr. Kenwood
00:48:41Miss Keaton signed the contract
00:48:42Good
00:48:44It's a generous deal
00:48:46You sure you don't want it to know?
00:48:48No
00:48:49No
00:48:50No
00:48:51No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:48:53I will be for you
00:48:56I'll be there in your darkest days
00:49:01Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:49:05Go live the life you were always meant to
00:49:08Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:49:17And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:49:21It's all coming together beautifully
00:49:25I've lost my appetite
00:49:29I'll go check on him
00:49:34What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:45Disengagement
00:49:45Is not happening
00:49:47It's not up to you
00:49:48You know that
00:49:49Serena, we're not doing this
00:49:50You've changed
00:49:53Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:49:59Well, I'm not doing this
00:50:00I'll be therein'
00:50:00You know that
00:50:01You're not doing this
00:50:02I don't think so
00:50:03You're not doing this
00:50:04I don't know
00:50:05Tals! You're the sponsor! You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time!
00:50:31So? You lied to everyone, including her! I protected her! You loved her! Still do! Let it go, Serena! There's no point! I need a favour!
00:51:01Find out when the Oxford interview is. And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:11Anything? Myra?
00:51:13She's not answering. The interview's almost over.
00:51:16Well, she won't just not show up. Something's wrong.
00:51:20Where's Alice? When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:24Last night. She said she was prepping all evening.
00:51:27James! Track someone for me.
00:51:34Wait! Where are you going?
00:51:44Chill! Okay! It won't hurt you!
00:51:46Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you awake from the interview. That's it.
00:51:58Shit! Come back!
00:52:00This has been a dream of being a girl, she's perhaps who is a man who's a woman who is a man.
00:52:02He's been asking.
00:52:03She became an adult. You've been a girl now?
00:52:04SheỡI!
00:52:05She's been a girl, she's almost a lady.
00:52:06I want to be a girl now!
00:52:07She's a girl, she's a girl!
00:52:09She's a girl, she's a girl, she's a man.
00:52:11She's a girl and she's a girl, she's a girl!"
00:52:13Hey, hey, hey, Alex, Alex, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alex.
00:52:43Alex, you're awake.
00:52:52Where, where am I?
00:52:54Local clinic. Passerby brought you in.
00:52:58Passerby?
00:52:59He found you on the side of the road.
00:53:01He had to leave, he didn't leave a name.
00:53:05Oh.
00:53:07The interview, what time is it?
00:53:09Easy, it's okay.
00:53:11Someone already contacted the university.
00:53:13And sent in your writing samples.
00:53:15They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:53:17Wait, what, who?
00:53:19No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:53:24What did you say?
00:53:26Nothing.
00:53:27I just...
00:53:28had a dream.
00:53:30I got him!
00:53:42Oh, I knew it!
00:53:47Oh, too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:53:51He's not here.
00:53:53Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:55Know what?
00:53:56He left.
00:53:58A few days ago, yeah.
00:53:59Everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:02Honestly, Astra's been quieter without him.
00:54:04It's probably for the best.
00:54:05Come on.
00:54:05I couldn't stay.
00:54:08I couldn't wait.
00:54:10I thought that you should know what I would have.
00:54:14You hang around.
00:54:16The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
00:54:20Chaotic.
00:54:21Unexpected.
00:54:25And with his absence.
00:54:26Come on!
00:54:28It ended quietly.
00:54:29Like summer's always do.
00:54:46And joining us today,
00:54:48the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon,
00:54:52Alice Keaton.
00:54:52Thank you for having me.
00:54:54No, your words moved millions.
00:54:56They say your stories feel real.
00:55:00Especially the ones about love.
00:55:02Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:55:05How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:07No comment.
00:55:09A little bird told me that the past four years
00:55:11has been just writing and working,
00:55:13not even a single date.
00:55:15Let me guess, a bird named Sherry.
00:55:16She caught me.
00:55:17Still no comment.
00:55:19All right, all right.
00:55:20No matter what you say,
00:55:21you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:55:25If you're so real.
00:55:27Because once, I did.
00:55:28That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton.
00:55:33And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:55:35And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:55:39Congratulations, Alice.
00:55:51The numbers just came in.
00:55:52You broke your own record.
00:55:55That's...
00:55:55incredible.
00:55:57We're thinking celebration, press, photos,
00:56:00maybe tonight.
00:56:01Actually,
00:56:01there's something I'd rather do.
00:56:03I'd like to meet with the person who
00:56:07believed in me first.
00:56:09My sponsor.
00:56:11You're sure?
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:13Just once.
00:56:15Tonight, 7pm.
00:56:16Good evening.
00:56:31Good evening.
00:56:34May I sit?
00:56:36Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:56:45Hi.
00:56:47Hi.
00:56:50You look well.
00:56:53And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:56:56You always did.
00:56:59You were expecting someone else.
00:57:00I was hoping.
00:57:06But I guess I always knew.
00:57:08I didn't come here to confuse you.
00:57:10Or to reopen anything.
00:57:14I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:57:17Oh.
00:57:21Didn't know you're still reading.
00:57:24You're rich enough not to do so.
00:57:27Always.
00:57:27Either way,
00:57:30your sponsorship started my career, so...
00:57:32No.
00:57:33No, you've...
00:57:34You earned everything.
00:57:38Every word.
00:57:40Every page.
00:57:43Every reader.
00:57:45That's what I came to say.
00:57:50It was good to see you again.
00:57:52I hope.
00:57:52Charles.
00:57:54Can you just...
00:57:55wait a little longer?
00:58:05I think I knew it was you.
00:58:08There was one email.
00:58:11You said something.
00:58:12It felt familiar.
00:58:13Really?
00:58:14Kind of had that...
00:58:16rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:58:18Very on brand.
00:58:20I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:58:22Too late.
00:58:22Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:58:26Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:58:28Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:58:31You've changed.
00:58:37But...
00:58:38not really.
00:58:41You haven't changed.
00:58:43But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:58:48Anyway,
00:58:49I wanted to say
00:58:51thank you.
00:58:54And
00:58:54thanks for being here tonight.
00:58:57You didn't have to come.
00:58:59Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:04You didn't have to come.
00:59:07Don't tell me
00:59:08what I have to do.
00:59:09If you could go back,
00:59:30if you had the chance to do it all again,
00:59:32would you do anything differently?
00:59:34Don't tell me.
00:59:34Don't tell me.
00:59:39No.
00:59:44No.
00:59:49I see.
00:59:50I know my answer now
00:59:55I didn't have the power back then
00:59:56Not enough to protect you
00:59:58I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:00:01Because of my name
01:00:03My family
01:00:05I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:00:09So you just disappeared
01:00:11Without a word
01:00:13If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:17Without me weighing you down
01:00:19If you still chose me after that
01:00:22You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:28But you made a choice for me
01:00:31Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:36I would have chosen you anyway
01:00:40I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:47You weren't
01:00:49But I never claimed to be that smart
01:00:53This is me
01:01:03Right
01:01:04I'm still mad at you, you know
01:01:12I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:17Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:29You're asking your ex
01:01:30Who you haven't seen in four years
01:01:33To come into your hotel
01:01:35At approximately 11pm
01:01:37You were right
01:01:39You never were that smart
01:01:42You don't have to come
01:01:43Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:46Stop quoting yourself
01:02:01I recycle
01:02:02It saves energy
01:02:03This feels wildly irresponsible
01:02:07You sound like a disclaimer
01:02:09You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:02:11I said that?
01:02:12Yeah
01:02:13Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:02:15Still is
01:02:16You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:19That is cutin'
01:02:24Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:26I wasn't going to
01:02:27I forgot all of it the day you left
01:02:29Then shut up
01:02:31And prove it
01:02:33I still can't believe this is happening
01:02:40I told you
01:02:41They're either worst enemies
01:02:43Or secretly married
01:02:44And I told you
01:02:45They're both
01:02:45I vow to always tell you the truth
01:03:15Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:03:17Then I lie
01:03:19Respectfully
01:03:20I vow to keep choosing you
01:03:24Loudly
01:03:26Quietly
01:03:27Always
01:03:29Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:03:32Is he actually good at this?
01:03:36I mean
01:03:37He did beat over at sarcasm
01:03:39I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:03:44Especially over Shakespeare
01:03:46I vow to write you
01:03:48And your every story
01:03:49Even when I say I didn't
01:03:51You will always be part of my life
01:03:54If she quotes Austin in this toast
01:03:57I'm out
01:03:58No you're not
01:03:58You're going to cry harder
01:03:59I can't believe you picked Paris
01:04:11Such a cliche honeymoon destination
01:04:27Guard your phone
01:04:29Relax
01:04:31Just don't dress like a walking inheritance
01:04:33And you'll be fine
01:04:33You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:04:38Please Alice go change
01:04:42Don't tell me what I have to do
01:04:44No
01:04:48No no no no
01:04:50That is not an invitation
01:04:51Do not take off these clothes
01:04:53You're overruled
01:04:54You look much better without them
01:04:57To the ones who loved in silence
01:05:04In chaos
01:05:05In chapters
01:05:06You will find your way home
01:05:09Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:05:15But I don't want to die alone
