00:00:01I've always described the world in words.
00:00:05People, moments, places.
00:00:08But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful.
00:00:13We're talking about the king of Ashton's.
00:00:15He's cool.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:19He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Read the room before opening your mouth.
00:00:25American.
00:00:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:00:28There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:00:31I'm not staying here.
00:00:32You must stay.
00:00:35I heard you stay to the whole thing for attention.
00:00:39Charles.
00:00:40We need to talk.
00:00:41If you don't do anything about it,
00:00:43it's only going to get worse.
00:00:46You're lying to everyone, including her.
00:00:50You didn't have to come.
00:00:52Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:00:58I've always described the world in words.
00:01:06People, moments, places.
00:01:09All through metaphors and margins.
00:01:12You okay?
00:01:13Like my mom.
00:01:15Self-made, stubborn, and never wrong.
00:01:18Almost there.
00:01:20You excited for your first day?
00:01:21She calls this a fresh start.
00:01:23I call it terrifying.
00:01:31You've got this.
00:01:32Just for yourself.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:36I'm stuck in space.
00:01:37Got a day dream running through my brain every day.
00:01:51Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:55World to war about all the day anyway.
00:01:59I want to say goodbye.
00:02:02I want to say goodbye.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:06Morning, class.
00:02:09And you're not seated because?
00:02:11I don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah, a new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:22Ah, there's a spot.
00:02:23Next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles keeps sharing.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God.
00:02:30What is she?
00:02:32Quiet.
00:02:33Charles.
00:02:37I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But in that moment,
00:02:43I forgot them all.
00:02:54Charles, move your things.
00:02:57I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:03:00From what?
00:03:01Sleeping.
00:03:03From everything.
00:03:04If anything, Charles,
00:03:05Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
00:03:07She was top of her class at her previous school.
00:03:10With all due respect, sir,
00:03:12her previous school was American.
00:03:15I highly doubt that.
00:03:18That's enough.
00:03:20She can sit here.
00:03:21It's fine.
00:03:25Back to Goldie.
00:03:27You got it.
00:03:28I'm Sherry Vaughn.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:30It's very important that we look at you.
00:03:33What do you think about their experience of the time?
00:03:40Wait.
00:03:41You sat next to Charles?
00:03:42She didn't.
00:03:43You totally shut her down.
00:03:44Ah, knew it.
00:03:45Don't take it personally.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:48Can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants?
00:03:51What?
00:03:52He's hot.
00:03:53Everyone kind of is.
00:03:56I...
00:03:57I've seen...
00:03:58Honor.
00:03:59He's not my type.
00:04:00You're joking.
00:04:01I don't find bullies attractive.
00:04:02Hey!
00:04:03Be careful.
00:04:04You're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:04:07The what?
00:04:08His family basically own the school.
00:04:10And the town.
00:04:11Maybe even the country.
00:04:13Yeah.
00:04:14Everyone's tried to get close.
00:04:15No one can get past his ego.
00:04:17You're not the first to get iced.
00:04:18Okay, first of all, I wasn't iced.
00:04:20It's more like a mutual decision.
00:04:23And second, I think he's arrogant, cold, thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated, like he's faking at all.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:40What?
00:04:41No, go on.
00:04:42You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:56Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:05:04We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:12Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:26Anything exciting, Cap'n?
00:05:27Not really. Super uneventful.
00:05:30Really?
00:05:32How was your new job?
00:05:33Yeah, all right.
00:05:34Get this?
00:05:35They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:05:37Seriously?
00:05:38Apparently, the young master won't mind the company.
00:05:41The young master.
00:05:44This is your boss's house.
00:05:46Yeah?
00:05:47Isn't that incredible?
00:05:49I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:51It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:59Wait here.
00:06:00I'll talk to the butler.
00:06:06Wow, rich people.
00:06:08You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:14Stephen King.
00:06:16First edition.
00:06:27Breaking and entering now.
00:06:29How American of you.
00:06:30I...
00:06:31You've been paying rent here in my head.
00:06:44Try to fight it off.
00:06:52You can get up now.
00:06:53I...
00:06:54I'm trying.
00:06:56Wait!
00:06:58Are you serious?
00:07:00Well, you said you were trying.
00:07:03What is wrong with you?
00:07:05Funny.
00:07:06I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:07:08What are you doing in my house?
00:07:10You...
00:07:12Wait.
00:07:14Your house?
00:07:15My house.
00:07:16My library.
00:07:17And now, apparently...
00:07:19My unwanted guest.
00:07:22Ah, Master Charles.
00:07:24You must be Miss Alice.
00:07:25Anne's daughter.
00:07:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:07:28She what?
00:07:29There...
00:07:30There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:07:32You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:07:35Is that so?
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:37I'm not staying here.
00:07:38Like, at all.
00:07:39That's a shame.
00:07:40Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:07:41Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:07:45Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:07:49Come on, Alice.
00:07:51You must stay.
00:07:54It'll be...
00:07:56Fun.
00:07:58My dear...
00:07:59Classmate.
00:08:01I'm dead.
00:08:02Like, mentally.
00:08:03Socially.
00:08:05And actually dead.
00:08:12Just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:08:17Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:08:20You've been through hell.
00:08:24Actually, no.
00:08:27This is hell.
00:08:30It's Asia.
00:08:31Hi.
00:08:32Good morning.
00:08:39Wow.
00:08:47Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:49Well, f***ing doesn't know.
00:08:51That's often closed for months.
00:08:53She's going to be late.
00:08:54I don't know.
00:08:55I don't know.
00:08:56I don't know.
00:08:57I don't know.
00:08:59Okay.
00:09:00How long is this thing going to take?
00:09:02Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:04Five miles to school.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08If I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:09:12Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:14What?
00:09:15What are you doing here?
00:09:16Didn't you already leave?
00:09:18Wait.
00:09:19Did you come back for me?
00:09:20Relax.
00:09:22I forgot my textbook.
00:09:23Don't flatter yourself.
00:09:24Wait.
00:09:26Since you're already here, maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:09:33No.
00:09:34Seriously?
00:09:35Your car is huge.
00:09:37Yeah.
00:09:38And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:09:39Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:09:43Unbelievable!
00:10:00It's all of mine, now it won't, and it's the need for the airway, walk inside my bed.
00:10:14Ashford Institute, please. Thank you.
00:10:20Clooney is not a titled brat anyway.
00:10:23Sir, you called the cab. Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:30And have the whole school go crazy. She's new. Everybody's already talking.
00:10:35So you're worried about her?
00:10:37You're overthinking. I just don't like drama.
00:10:42Asshole.
00:10:44Who?
00:10:46Morning, Clos. Back to Golding. Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:10:51I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
00:10:56Back to Golding. Remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies.
00:11:05Mr. Kenwood, care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:09Not particularly.
00:11:10Oh, I insist. You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:11:15I'm not entertained by Golding, sir. On the contrary. I think his ending is... weak.
00:11:23Wait, wait. You actually read it?
00:11:26Quiet.
00:11:28That's an interesting take. Explain.
00:11:33He had the set up for something brutal. Something honest.
00:11:37But in the end, he backed out. He could have left the boys on the island.
00:11:41Forced them to confront the collapse of all morality. Let them choose survival.
00:11:45Or death.
00:11:47But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:11:50Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:11:56It's a waste.
00:11:58Don't you think?
00:11:59I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:12:01Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:12:04I'm always a model student, sir.
00:12:06Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:12:08So, a critique of Golding's mercy. Anyone disagree?
00:12:29I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way.
00:12:33It's not mercy, it's irony.
00:12:35How so?
00:12:38The rescue isn't a happy ending.
00:12:41You don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster.
00:12:44Golding didn't save them.
00:12:45He left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:12:49That's an interesting take, Miss Keeter.
00:12:51You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:53In some ways.
00:12:55But not harsh enough.
00:12:57Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity.
00:13:00But still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:13:03And the civilized world?
00:13:05Toxic, violent.
00:13:06I didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:13:07So, yeah.
00:13:08I don't think Golding pushed far enough.
00:13:10But I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:13:16Thank you, Miss Keetan.
00:13:18Well said.
00:13:20Anyone else?
00:13:22Both opinions are valid.
00:13:24Okay.
00:13:25That was kind of epic.
00:13:26And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:13:31Good literature will always divide opinion.
00:13:33What's happening to me?
00:13:36What's happening to me?
00:13:43Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well, you're new.
00:13:48And apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:13:50A what now?
00:13:52You two are in the middle of the most epic feud I should have seen in years.
00:13:55We're not even fighting.
00:13:57Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected, begged to sit next to him, got rejected again.
00:14:03And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears.
00:14:12You were there, Sherry. That is not what happened.
00:14:16Doesn't matter.
00:14:18People believe what they want to believe.
00:14:20And they want Charles to be flawless, untouchable.
00:14:23Wow.
00:14:25Is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:14:28Honestly, both.
00:14:29Both.
00:14:30But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:14:41Okay.
00:14:43Loaded.
00:14:45Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:00Hello?
00:15:02Hello?
00:15:04Hello?
00:15:06Is somebody out there?
00:15:09Oh, come on!
00:15:23Fine.
00:15:29Seriously?
00:15:30Oh, shit.
00:15:47What the hell?
00:15:49Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:15:52She hasn't come home.
00:15:53Her phone is off.
00:15:54Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:56Yikes.
00:15:59Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:16:07Shit.
00:16:13Alice!
00:16:15Alice!
00:16:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here.
00:16:17I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:16:21She hasn't come home.
00:16:23I'll have it sent over.
00:16:25Check the common room in the library.
00:16:26I'll take the rest.
00:16:28Alice!
00:16:30Alice!
00:16:31No!
00:16:44Come on, Alice.
00:16:46Close your eyes and jump.
00:16:48It's fine.
00:16:50You're fine.
00:16:51You're fine.
00:16:52I'm fine.
00:16:53Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:17:19Are you happy with how we end?
00:17:23What are you doing here?
00:17:29Can you get off me first?
00:17:40You're welcome.
00:17:42I didn't say thank you.
00:17:44I figured saving your life might only be basic manners.
00:17:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:17:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:17:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:17:53Wow.
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.
00:18:01I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:18:02Are you okay?
00:18:03No.
00:18:04But I will be.
00:18:05Someone did this on purpose.
00:18:06What do you think, golden boy?
00:18:07Don't worry.
00:18:08I can handle it.
00:18:09You shouldn't have to.
00:18:10I'm sorry.
00:18:11Sorry.
00:18:12I'm sorry.
00:18:13I'm sorry.
00:18:14I'm sorry.
00:18:15Did you just apologize to me?
00:18:16Don't get used to it.
00:18:17I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:18Alice?
00:18:19Alice?
00:18:20Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:18:21You shouldn't have to.
00:18:25I'm sorry.
00:18:34Sorry.
00:18:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:18:42Don't get used to it.
00:18:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:46Alice?
00:18:48Over here.
00:18:49Oh, my God.
00:18:52You okay?
00:18:55Why, you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah, I just took a weird shower.
00:18:59Top exploded.
00:19:02Come on, let's go.
00:19:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:15I heard she staged the whole thing for attention.
00:19:19I heard she staged the whole thing for attention.
00:19:19I know how this place works.
00:19:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:50I'll look into it.
00:19:50I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:20:04That's insane.
00:20:05And where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:20:07They're busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:20:10Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:20:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:20:18Being a scholarship student has its perks, like 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 and watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:21:02Have fun.
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:21:08The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:21:16So, yeah, I didn't go.
00:21:19What 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, this is not even your kitchen.
00:21:50And this is not even your house.
00:21:52And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:21:55Just don't, look, go away.
00:21:57Hard not to, when 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?
00:22:18How would I go?
00:22:22I 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 Tiziana, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:22:36Then 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.
00:22:46Pretend you're shocked, ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:48The final stop, Harry, the ultimate city of romance.
00:22:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:23:02That's word for word.
00:23:03I told you.
00:23:05I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:23:08Okay, 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.
00:23:32That's two words.
00:23:35You're weird.
00:23:36You're loud.
00:23:37You're annoying.
00:23:37You're in my kitchen.
00:23:38You have three other kitchens.
00:23:40And I prefer this one.
00:23:42Just for today.
00:23:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:23:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:23:46You didn't have to come.
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:58That's a Charles.
00:23:59Roads are flooded.
00:24:00Staff won't make it tonight.
00:24:01Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:24:02I've got it sorted.
00:24:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:24:20Relax.
00:24:21I'm here to make a deal.
00:24:25What deal?
00:24:26You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:24:31You'll survive.
00:24:33I'm not selling my body.
00:24:35I'm not selling my body.
00:24:47I 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?
00:25:19I present to you.
00:25:21Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:25:24You're welcome.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:25:30It's...
00:25:31Good.
00:25:39Was that a compliment?
00:25:41Although, I am obliged to inform you, meatball 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 we're going to play.
00:26:24Hey, Alice.
00:26:25It's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:34911, what's with your emergency?
00:26:41911, 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.
00:26:47Shut down.
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:49Please, he's not well.
00:26:50I understand.
00:26:51Can you confirm your address?
00:26:55Daddy, yes, I'm right here.
00:26:57All right.
00:26:59My daughter.
00:27:01Please stay with me, Dad.
00:27:02Please.
00:27:07No.
00:27:09Please wake up.
00:27:10Dad, please.
00:27:15Please don't leave me.
00:27:23Please don't leave me.
00:27:35You, what are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying, loudly, kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right, sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait, you know snarky come back?
00:28:08Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here, are you, knock yourself out?
00:28:14You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:17A hurricane hit New York, power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:23Dad had a stroke, but he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:29I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:28:34Peaceful, like he was asleep, but he wasn't.
00:28:43So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:47This used to be our hometown.
00:28:50After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:28:56What are you doing?
00:29:01Come on.
00:29:04Come on.
00:29:06Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:29:13It is.
00:29:14We have our own generator.
00:29:16Wow, rich people houses her.
00:29:18Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:29:20Allow what?
00:29:22You can call this place your house, so enjoy it.
00:29:26Stephen King's first edition, Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters, Jane Austen's notes, all yours.
00:29:35This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:29:44Careful.
00:29:59Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:02Don't push it.
00:30:03Okay, then, I have one request.
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:18Are you ever going to make a move?
00:30:23Wait.
00:30:24Give me a second.
00:30:25I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:30And in the middle of a thunderstorm, inside a literal mansion, you chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:37Got a problem?
00:30:38It's just so cool, like 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.
00:30:48Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:50The tenth time, it moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One, two, then turn.
00:30:58There.
00:30:59Happy?
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:01No.
00:31:02That'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.
00:31:10You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:14It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh my, no.
00:31:17Why?
00:31:18What's that?
00:31:19You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21I can't do that.
00:31:22There we go.
00:31:23You had to shop a trip when about it all wrong.
00:31:26Had to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:31:29Buy yourself up cause I'm moving on.
00:31:32Oh yeah.
00:31:34Showing up at my door.
00:31:37Holdin' your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:41Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:52Um, who are you?
00:31:54What are you doing here?
00:32:00Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:32:02Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:32:05Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:32:07When did you get back?
00:32:08Last night.
00:32:09From Zurich.
00:32:10You didn't answer my messages.
00:32:12I missed you.
00:32:15Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:17Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:32:20Your parents were so thrilled.
00:32:22They didn't tell me about this.
00:32:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:32:26They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:32:29You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:32:32Engagement?
00:32:34Oh, did no one tell you?
00:32:37He's promised.
00:32:39Old money stuff, very retro.
00:32:41I didn't agree to that.
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?
00:32:49Serena?
00:32:50I didn't hear you yet now.
00:32:51Oh, an American.
00:32:54How refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:12Where are you going?

00:33:21You only paid for dinner.
00:33:23I have homework.
00:33:24Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy has quite the temper.

00:48:10Alright, thank you Alice
00:48:12That was
00:48:13Lunar
00:48:15Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder
00:48:17that good literature
00:48:19always stirs something
00:48:20Hello?
00:48:22Hi, this is Alice Keaton, this is Whitmore Press. We've been following our work. We'd like to offer you a long term publishing contract. Name your price, we'll... we'll make it work. Sorry what?
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:44That's kind of insane.
00:48:47Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:51Can, can I meet them?
00:48:55I want to, please, or at least tell me a name.
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay in office, so they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them.
00:49:08Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Keaton, they were very good.
00:49:11I think the most generous offer we've ever given is a new writer.
00:49:14I see.
00:49:15Congratulations again.
00:49:21You got the interview!
00:49:22It's just an interview, I haven't gotten in yet.
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:27That's iconic.
00:49:33You okay?
00:49:37Yeah.
00:49:38I'm so excited!
00:49:40It's done, Mr. Kenwood. Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:56Good.
00:49:57It's a generous deal.
00:49:58You sure you don't want it to know?
00:50:00No.
00:50:01No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:50:06Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:50:07Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:50:25Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:50:33And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:50:38It's all coming together beautifully.
00:50:43I've lost my appetite.
00:50:48I'll go check on him.
00:50:49What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:00Disengagement. It's not happening.
00:51:03It's not up to you. You know that.
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this.
00:51:07You've changed.

01:05:27I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:05:44Such a cliche honeymoon destination.
01:05:48Guard your phone.
01:05:49Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:05:53You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:05:59Please, Alice, go change.
01:06:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:06:07No.
01:06:09No, no, no, no.
01:06:10That is not an invitation.
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes.
01:06:13You're overroared.
01:06:14You look much better without them.
01:06:16To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:06:34This is very nice.
01:06:35But I don't want to die alone.
01:06:37No.
01:06:38I don't want to die alone.
01:06:40I don't want to die alone.
01:06:41I don't want to die alone.
01:06:43I don't want to die alone.
01:06:45It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:07:08Help us develop, learn, and grow.
01:07:15Thank you very much.
