00:00:10metaphors and margins okay like my mom self-made stubborn and never wrong

00:01:16transfer Alice Keaton right let's see there's a spot next to Charles seriously
00:01:27the charity case sitting next to Charles quiet Charles I've always had words for
00:01:38everything but in that moment I forgot them all
00:01:53Charles move your things I'd rather not she'll be a distraction from what
00:02:00sleeping from everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive
00:02:05influence on you she was top of her class at a previous school with all due
00:02:11respect sir her previous school was American I highly doubt that that's
00:02:18enough she can sit here it's fine
00:02:24back to Golding thank you you got it I'm Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very important that we look at what he's talking about their experience of the time
00:02:36wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it don't take it personally he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants what he's hot
00:02:53everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're joking I don't find
00:03:02bullies attractive hey be careful we're talking about the king of Ashford the
00:03:07what his family basically own the school and the town maybe even the country yeah
00:03:13everyone's tried to get close no one can get past his ego you're not the first to get
00:03:18ice okay first of all I wasn't ice it's more like a mutual decision and second I
00:03:25think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you really look at
00:03:30Charles he just seems isolated like he's making honestly I just think he's lonely
00:03:35I'm kind of what you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic

00:08:53and I'm not a fan of sharing

00:09:03unbelievable
00:09:13Ashford Institute please

00:09:16who needs an entitled brat anyway
00:09:22sir
00:09:23you called the cab
00:09:24why not just give miss Keaton a lift
00:09:26why not just give miss Keaton a lift
00:09:32why not just give miss Keaton a lift
00:09:34and have the whole school go crazy
00:09:36she's new
00:09:37everybody's already talking
00:09:38so you're worried about her
00:09:40you're overthinking
00:09:42I just don't like drama
00:09:44asshole
00:09:50hey
00:09:52morning Klaus
00:09:54back to Golding
00:09:56remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:04Mr. Kenwood
00:10:06care to share what you found so amusing
00:10:08not particularly
00:10:10oh
00:10:11I insist
00:10:12you seem very entertained by Golding
00:10:16I'm not entertained by Golding sir
00:10:18on the contrary
00:10:19I think his ending is
00:10:22weak
00:10:24wait wait
00:10:25you've actually read it
00:10:26quiet
00:10:29that's an interesting take
00:10:30explain
00:10:33he had the setup for something brutal
00:10:35something honest
00:10:36but in the end
00:10:38he backed out
00:10:39he could have left the boys on the island
00:10:41forced them to confront
00:10:42the collapse of all morality
00:10:43let them choose survival
00:10:45or death
00:10:46but instead
00:10:47he gave them a rescue boat
00:10:49slapped a happily ever after
00:10:51on a book about savagery
00:10:56it's a waste
00:10:57don't you think?
00:10:58I'm delightfully surprised Charles
00:11:00didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:11:02I'm always a model student sir
00:11:05let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:09so
00:11:10a critique of Golding's mercy
00:11:12anyone disagree?
00:11:13anyone disagree?
00:11:29I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:33it's not mercy
00:11:34it's irony
00:11:35how so?
00:11:39the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:11:41you don't just walk back into society
00:11:43and forget you're a monster
00:11:44Golding didn't save them
00:11:45he left us with the discomfort
00:11:47of pretending they could be saved
00:11:48that's an interesting take
00:11:50Miss Keita
00:11:51you still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:53in some ways
00:11:54but not harsh enough
00:11:57yes
00:11:58it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:00but still
00:12:01Golding sympathized with them
00:12:03and the civilized world
00:12:05toxic
00:12:06violent
00:12:07he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:08so yeah
00:12:09I don't think Golding pushed far enough
00:12:10but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:17thank you Miss Keaton
00:12:19well said
00:12:20anyone else?
00:12:23both opinions are valid
00:12:25okay
00:12:26that's kind of epic
00:12:27and let's not forget
00:12:28Golding faced major backlash
00:12:29when he first published the book
00:12:31good literature will always divide opinions
00:12:34what's happening to me?
00:12:37what's happening to me?
00:12:43okay
00:12:44what is going on?
00:12:45why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:47well
00:12:48you're new
00:12:49and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:12:51a what now?
00:12:52you two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's scene in years
00:12:56we're not even fighting
00:12:57well according to everyone
00:12:58well according to everyone
00:12:59you confessed your love on day one
00:13:00got rejected
00:13:01begged to sit next to him
00:13:03got rejected again
00:13:05and today in class
00:13:06you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:13:09and stormed out in tears
00:13:13you were there Sherry
00:13:14that is not what happened
00:13:16doesn't matter
00:13:18people believe what they want to believe
00:13:20and they want Charles to be flawless
00:13:22untouchable
00:13:24wow
00:13:25is misogyny like a rich kid thing
00:13:27or just a British specialty?
00:13:28honestly
00:13:29both
00:13:30but
00:13:31seriously Alice
00:13:32some people already see you as a threat
00:13:42okay
00:13:43loaded
00:13:45looks like the new girl is in for a rough first semester
00:14:03hello?
00:14:05hello?
00:14:07is somebody out there?
00:14:10oh come on!
00:14:16hello?
00:14:25no?
00:14:26no?
00:14:28no?
00:14:30no?
00:14:31no?
00:14:32no?
00:14:34you can't look at this
00:14:37no?
00:14:40Oh, shit.
00:14:47What the hell?
00:14:50Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:14:53She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:00Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:04Shit.
00:15:15Alice? Alice?
00:15:17Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:19I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:22She hasn't come home.
00:15:23I'll have it sent over.
00:15:25Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:29Hey!
00:15:31Alice!
00:15:44Come on, Alice.
00:15:47Close your eyes and jump.
00:15:49It's fine.
00:15:51You're fine.
00:15:58I'll have it.
00:16:03Bye.
00:16:04Age of D.
00:16:07Come on, Alice.
00:16:13Hey Mr. Nonchalant.
00:16:19Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:21What are you doing here?
00:16:27here. Can you get off me first? You're welcome. I didn't say thank you. I figured saving your
00:16:45life might earn me basic manners. Someone just dumped swamp water on me. Excuse me if I'm not
00:16:51feeling very polite. You smell like a biology experiment. Wow. You should try falling out
00:16:57of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it. Wouldn't recommend it. You're
00:17:01heavier than you look. I hope you pull your shoulder. Are you okay? No, but I will be. Someone
00:17:17did this on purpose. What do you think, golden boy? Don't worry, I can handle it. You shouldn't
00:17:22have to. I'm sorry. Sorry. Did you just apologize to me? Don't get used to it. I wouldn't dream
00:17:44of it. Alice? Over here. You okay? Why are you drenched? Yeah, I just took a weird shower.
00:18:00I just cheated, right? I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:30I know how this place works. If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get
00:18:48worse. I'll look into it. Charles? Good on you. How many here would speak up?
00:19:00I can't believe someone actually locked you in. That's insane. Where the hell was the
00:19:06school when this was happening? Busy protecting their golden boys and trust fans. Well, for
00:19:11what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night. Please,
00:19:17he didn't want a lawsuit. Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting
00:19:42into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates. Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:19:48There are enough Americans to remind us of you. But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:19:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:02Have fun. Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:11The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year. So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:19Uh, what are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts? Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:44It's comfortable. You look like a rejected Ewok. This, this is not even your kitchen. And this is
00:20:51not even your house. And yet, you're here, dressed like this. Just don't, look, go away. Hard not to,
00:20:58when you're walking around dressed like that. What do you guys call it? Um, buzzkill? Cockblock.
00:21:06You're insufferable. You're the one cosplaying at breakfast. You know what? I don't get it. Why
00:21:11didn't you go on that tour? I thought rich people live for that kind of thing. Why do you think?
00:21:21Where would I go? I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep. Florence, walk in the great
00:21:28footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian, or Tiziana, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on
00:21:42earth. Next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:48The final stop, Paris, the ultimate city of romance. And naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New
00:21:59York. That's word for word. I told you. I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:22:07Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance. Most people haven't had their
00:22:12phones stolen in Paris. Twice. Also, I hate the accommodations. Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you. Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27That's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city. One word of advice? Shut up. That's two words.
00:22:36You're weird. You're loud. You're annoying. You're in my kitchen. You have three other kitchens.
00:22:40And I prefer this one. Just for today. Come back when you've got a shirt on. Come back with normal clothes
00:22:46on. You didn't have to come. Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:57After Charles, roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight. Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:02I've got it sorted.
00:23:18Jesus, what are you doing? Relax.
00:23:23I'm here to make a deal. What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:27You'll survive. I'm not selling my body.
00:23:39I'm not selling my body.
00:23:44Wow. I am deeply offended. That thought disgusts me.
00:23:50Then what are you doing? The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:23:57Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:24:00No, I'm- I-
00:24:01Jesus.
00:24:03Wait. You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:08I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:24:11You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:12Are you sure about that?
00:24:19I present to you. Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries. You're welcome.
00:24:25Interesting combo.
00:24:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:24:30It's good.
00:24:32Was that a compliment?
00:24:40Although, I am obliged to inform you. Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian. It's American. And french fries,
00:24:47likely born in South America. You should read more. Put it down. I paid for it.
00:24:55You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:57To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:25:00It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:25:05You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:25:07I'll make sure that.
00:25:23Hey Alice, it's fine. You're fine.
00:25:30What's with your emergency?
00:25:40911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:41It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, miss. Hurricane's constant traffic shut down.
00:25:47We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:49I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:25:53Yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56Hi. My daughter.
00:26:00Please stay with me, dad. Please.
00:26:06No. Please wake up.
00:26:09Dad, please. Please don't leave me.
00:26:27Dad, please. Please don't leave me.
00:26:37You... What are you doing here?
00:26:54You were crying.
00:26:56Loudly.
00:26:59Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right. Sorry for the noise.
00:27:03Wait.
00:27:04No snarky comeback?
00:27:06Not tonight. I'm too tired.
00:27:08If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:15A hurricane hit New York.
00:27:19Power went down. Traffic froze.
00:27:22Dad had a stroke.
00:27:24But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:26I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:35Peaceful.
00:27:37Like he was asleep.
00:27:40But he wasn't.
00:27:44So that's why you and your mom moved here?
00:27:47This used to be our hometown.
00:27:48After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:59What are you doing?
00:28:05Come on.
00:28:14Wait. I thought the power was out.
00:28:24It is.
00:28:25We have our own generator.
00:28:26Wow.
00:28:27Rich people houses her.
00:28:29Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:28:33Allow what?
00:28:35You can call this place your house.
00:28:37So enjoy it.
00:28:38Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:40Alan Gisbo's handwritten letters.
00:28:42Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:44All yours.
00:28:48This is your home.
00:28:52Alice Keaton.
00:28:58Careful.
00:28:59Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02Okay then.
00:29:03I have one request.
00:29:12What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait.
00:29:22Give me a second.
00:29:23I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:28And in the middle of a thunderstorm.
00:29:30Inside a literal mansion.
00:29:32You chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Got a problem?
00:29:36It's just so cool.
00:29:37Like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:41It's literally a board game.
00:29:42Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:45Wait.
00:29:46Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:48For the tenth time.
00:29:50It moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:55Then turn.
00:29:55There.
00:29:58Happy.
00:29:59Ecstatic.
00:30:02You know.
00:30:02That's suicide.
00:30:04Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:06You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:30:08Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:09You literally haven't won me past arguments.
00:30:11Golding disagrees.
00:30:13It's going to be a long night.
00:30:15Oh my.
00:30:16No.
00:30:16Why?
00:30:16What's wrong with that?
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:18I don't know what was that.
00:30:18Can I do that?
00:30:19I don't know what was that.
00:30:20Can I do that?
00:30:21You had to shop a different about it all wrong.
00:30:24I'm glad to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:28All yourself work cause I'm moving on.
00:30:32Oh you're showing up at my door.
00:30:37Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:40Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:43I don't know what's going on.
00:30:51Um, who are you?
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:59Well your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:01Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:03Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:06When did you get back?
00:31:07Last night.
00:31:08From Zurich.
00:31:09You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:13I missed you.
00:31:14Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:16Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:19Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:21They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:22I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:25They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:28You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:31Engagement.
00:31:32Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:37He's promised.
00:31:38Old money stuff.
00:31:39Very retro.
00:31:40I didn't agree to that.
00:31:41You didn't have to.
00:31:42It's never up to us.
00:31:45Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:48Serena.
00:31:48I didn't hear you, you know.
00:31:50Oh, an American.
00:31:53How refreshing.
00:31:58Goodbye.
00:32:00Wait.
00:32:02Where are you going?
00:32:17You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:19You only paid for dinner.
00:32:21I had homework.
00:32:23Goodbye.
00:32:26Your little toy has quite the temptation.
00:32:28Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:30What?
00:32:31Teasing the help.
00:32:38That's her.
00:32:39That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:42Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:32:43Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:33:02They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:04Oh, and Serena.
00:33:05What about her?
00:33:06Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:11Of course she did.
00:33:24Careful, Alice.
00:33:25You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:27What are you lying there?
00:33:40Yes, I know.
00:33:41Home.
00:33:421066.
00:33:42Come to the music room.
00:33:44Urgent.
00:33:44Uh, I just remembered I need to check something.
00:33:47You guys go ahead.
00:33:48Yeah, okay.
00:33:55Help!
00:33:56Is someone there?
00:33:57Seriously!
00:33:59They're just getting old!
00:34:11Wait.
00:34:13Music room?
00:34:14What?
00:34:14James?
00:34:17Was anybody in here earlier?
00:34:19Just Miss Serena.
00:34:20Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:23Sir?
00:34:25Sir, it's raining!
00:34:37Come on, Alice.
00:34:38You're fine.
00:34:40You're not that girl again.
00:34:41Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:34:51Okay.
00:34:53Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:54Yeah.
00:34:55Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:57And knights...
00:34:58The knight's the weird one.
00:34:59Rooks.
00:35:06Straight lines.
00:35:08Bishops.
00:35:10Diagonally.
00:35:12Hello?
00:35:13Hello?
00:35:13Hello?
00:35:13The text.
00:35:33Are you okay?
00:35:35Are you hurt?
00:35:35I'm okay.
00:35:38I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:40I didn't see the message.
00:35:42Serena took my phone.
00:35:43I didn't know.
00:35:44I'm sorry.
00:35:45I'm okay.
00:35:48You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:50You're freezing.
00:35:50You didn't have to come.
00:35:54Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:35:56Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:36:03That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:36:22I wasn't going to.
00:36:37You're really bad at this, you know.
00:36:40What?
00:36:41Kissing?
00:36:42Hiding feelings.
00:36:43I don't like that.
00:36:52Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:07Oh, you wish.
00:37:10Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:37:13You kissed me.
00:37:15That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:22Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:37:26I might hold you to that.
00:37:37You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:40The list is on the board.
00:37:43One, two, three, four.
00:37:48Are you okay?
00:37:52That's where I'll see your face.
00:37:58And have you with me.
00:38:04It may seem dark.
00:38:08But you always like my spark.
00:38:13In my heart.
00:38:15You're welcome.
00:38:23They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:27Honestly?
00:38:28Both.
00:38:29I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:38:35No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:38:38They all just let me down.
00:38:39But baby, you saved me.
00:38:43Time been new.
00:38:45Everything's so different now.
00:38:48So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:53Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:55Because it's weird.
00:38:57And I like weird.
00:39:06Check.
00:39:07You're cheating.
00:39:14I'm winning.
00:39:15There's a difference.
00:39:16You are very distracting.
00:39:19And you like it.
00:39:21Charles.
00:39:28We need to talk.
00:39:33I expected poor judgment.
00:39:43But this in my house?
00:39:45It isn't what it looks like.
00:39:46No?
00:39:48Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:51Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:53We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:56Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:39:59She isn't just...
00:40:01You have no right to barge in.
00:40:03On my property.
00:40:07I care about her.
00:40:09I'm not ashamed of that.
00:40:10That's enough.
00:40:14Why do you care?
00:40:15We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:18And our name.
00:40:20You think this protects me?
00:40:21We think she does not belong in your world.
00:40:25Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:31You're ready to give up everything?
00:40:34For a girl you barely know?
00:40:38Yes.
00:40:39Then are you sure she's ready?
00:40:43I'm asking you.
00:40:50Do you think she's ready?
00:40:52To lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:40:57What are you talking about?
00:40:58You left us no choice, son.
00:41:00You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:04Pelton.
00:41:06It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:08Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:41:09How can I help?
00:41:10If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant a review?
00:41:20Yes, sir.
00:41:23So, answer me again.
00:41:27Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:32Yes.
00:41:32Yes.
00:41:33Yes.
00:41:33Yes.
00:41:33Yes.
00:41:34Yes.
00:41:34Yes.
00:41:35Yes.
00:41:36Yes.
00:41:36Yes.
00:41:37Yes.
00:41:37Yes.
00:41:38Yes.
00:41:38Yes.
00:41:39Yes.
00:41:39Yes.
00:41:41Charles, what happened?
00:41:43Did your parents say something?
00:41:44Are they mad?
00:41:44Is everything okay?
00:41:47Pack your things.
00:41:49You can't stay here anymore.
00:41:51What?
00:41:54My parents fired your mother.
00:41:55She's leaving.
00:41:57So are you.
00:41:57Wait, what?
00:41:58Why?
00:41:59Is it because of us?
00:42:01We can fix this.
00:42:01I'll get a job, anything.
00:42:02No, stop.
00:42:02Stop it.
00:42:03You don't get it.
00:42:05If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:08okay no card no trust no support nothing then then we'll figure it out we don't

00:45:57Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton
00:46:00would you mind giving us a short summary
00:46:03she loves the sound of her own voice
00:46:05better have it
00:46:06our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:46:19like logic and chaos or silence and noise
00:46:23different worlds different rules
00:46:26at first glance they clash
00:46:30but what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:46:34confusion
00:46:35curiosity
00:46:36but in the end some stories aren't about staying
00:46:39and yes there is no such thing as a happy ending

00:52:42Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:52:46Alice
00:52:47You're awake
00:52:54Where, where am I?
00:52:57A local clinic
00:52:58Passerby brought you in
00:53:00Passerby
00:53:01He found you on the side of the road
00:53:04He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:53:06Oh
00:53:08The interview, what time is it?
00:53:12Easy, it's okay
00:53:14Someone already contacted the university
00:53:16And sent in your writing samples
00:53:18They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:20Wait, what, who?
00:53:21No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:24What did you say?
00:53:29Nothing
00:53:29I just
00:53:31Had a dream
00:53:33I got him!
00:53:45Oh, I knew it
00:53:50Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:53:53He's not here
00:53:55Oh, you didn't know
00:53:58Know what?
00:53:59He left
00:54:00A few days ago, yeah
00:54:02Everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:54:04Honestly, Asher has been quieter without him
00:54:06It's probably for the best
00:54:08Come on
00:54:08Alice
00:54:15The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:54:21Chaotic
00:54:23Unexpected
00:54:25And with his absence
00:54:29Come on
00:54:29It ended quietly
00:54:32Like summers always do
00:54:37And joining us today
00:54:50The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:54:54Alice Keaton
00:54:55Thank you for having me
00:54:56Now, your words moved millions
00:54:59They say your stories feel real
00:55:02Especially the ones about love
00:55:04Thank you
00:55:05Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:55:07How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:10No comment
00:55:11A little bird told me that the past four years
00:55:14Has been just writing and working
00:55:16Not even a single date
00:55:18Let me guess, a bird named Sherry
00:55:19She caught me
00:55:20Still no comment
00:55:21Alright, alright
00:55:23No matter what you say
00:55:24You write love like someone who's lived it
00:55:28If you're so real
00:55:29Because once, I did
00:55:31With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:55:34Behind Alice Keaton
00:55:35And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:55:38And let's give it up for Alice Keaton
00:55:41One more time
00:55:42Congratulations Alice
00:55:53The numbers just came in
00:55:55You broke your own record
00:55:56That's incredible
00:55:59We're thinking celebration
00:56:01Press
00:56:02Photos
00:56:03Maybe tonight
00:56:03Actually
00:56:04There's something I'd rather do
00:56:06I'd like to meet with the person who
00:56:10Believed in me first
00:56:11My sponsor
00:56:13You're sure?
00:56:15Yeah
00:56:15Just once
00:56:17Tonight
00:56:187pm
00:56:19Good evening
00:56:31Good evening
00:56:35May I sit?
00:56:39Hey Mr. Noncelon
00:56:45Hi
00:56:49Hi
00:56:50You look well
00:56:54And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:56:58You always did
00:57:01You were expecting someone else
00:57:03I was
00:57:05Hoping
00:57:07But I guess I always knew
00:57:10I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:13Or to reopen anything
00:57:15I just wanted to say congratulations
00:57:19Thank you
00:57:20Oh
00:57:21Thank you
00:57:22Didn't know you're still reading
00:57:26You were rich enough not to do so
00:57:28Always
00:57:30Either way
00:57:32Your sponsorship started my career
00:57:35So
00:57:35No
00:57:36No
00:57:37You earned everything
00:57:38Every word
00:57:42Every page
00:57:44Every reader
00:57:46That's what I came to say
00:57:49It was good to see you again
00:57:54I hope
00:57:55Charles
00:57:56Can you just
00:57:58Wait a little longer
00:58:01I think I knew it was you
00:58:09There was one email
00:58:12You said something
00:58:15It felt familiar
00:58:16Really?
00:58:17Kind of had that
00:58:18Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:58:20Very on brand
00:58:22I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:25Too late
00:58:25Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:28Still the only girl I know
00:58:30Who flirts through punctuation
00:58:31Still the only guy I know
00:58:33Who uses wiles unironically
00:58:34You've changed
00:58:38But
00:58:40Not really
00:58:42You haven't changed
00:58:45But
00:58:46Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:58:49Anyway
00:58:51I wanted to say
00:58:54Thank you
00:58:55And
00:58:57Thanks for being here tonight
00:59:00You didn't have to come
00:59:02Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:04You didn't have to come
00:59:08Don't tell me
00:59:11What I have to do
00:59:12If you could go back
00:59:33If you had the chance to do it all again
00:59:35Would you do anything differently
00:59:37No
00:59:43No
00:59:43No
00:59:47No
00:59:48I see
00:59:53I know my answer now
00:59:58I didn't have the power back then
00:59:59I didn't have the power back then
01:00:00Not enough to protect you
01:00:02I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:00:04Because of my name
01:00:07My family
01:00:08I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:00:12So you just disappeared
01:00:14Without a word
01:00:16If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:20Without me weighing you down
01:00:22If you still chose me after that
01:00:25You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:31But you made a choice for me
01:00:34Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:39I would have chosen you anyway
01:00:43I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:50You weren't
01:00:52But I never claimed to be that smart
01:00:56This is me
01:01:06Right
01:01:07I'm still mad at you, you know
01:01:15I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:20Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:32You're asking your ex
01:01:34Who you haven't seen in four years
01:01:36To come into your hotel
01:01:38At approximately 11pm
01:01:40You were right
01:01:42You never were that smart
01:01:45You don't have to come
01:01:46Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:49Stop quoting yourself
01:02:04I recycle
01:02:05It saves energy
01:02:06This feels wildly irresponsible
01:02:10You sound like a disclaimer
01:02:11You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:02:14I said that
01:02:15Yeah
01:02:16Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:02:18Still is
01:02:19You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:21That is cute to me
01:02:27Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:29What's it going, Sarah?
01:02:30I forgot all over the day you left
01:02:32Then shut up
01:02:34And prove it
01:02:36I still can't believe this is happening
01:02:43I told you
01:02:44I told you
01:02:44That you're the worst enemies
01:02:46Or secretly married
01:02:47And I told you
01:02:48They're both
01:02:48I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:02:49I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:02:53I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:02:55Except for when you ask how you're cooking was
01:02:56Then I lie
01:02:57Respectfully
01:02:58Respectfully
01:02:59I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:03:17I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:03:18I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:03:19Except for when you ask how you're cooking was
01:03:20I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:03:21Except for when you ask how you're cooking was
01:03:22Then I lie
01:03:23Respectfully
01:03:24I vowed to keep choosing you
01:03:25Loudly
01:03:26Quietly
01:03:27Always
01:03:28Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:03:29Is he actually good at this?
01:03:30I mean, he did beat her at sarcasm
01:03:32I vowed to argue with you at least twice a week
01:03:34Especially over Shakespeare
01:03:36I vowed to write you into every story
01:03:37Even when I say I didn't
01:03:38You will always be part of my life
01:03:39If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:03:40I'm out
01:03:41No you're not
01:03:42You're gonna cry harder
01:03:43Thirdly
01:04:13I can't believe you picked Paris. Such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:04:32Guard your phone. Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:36You are not wearing that on our honeymoon. Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:44Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:50No. No, no, no, no. That is not an invitation to- Do not take off these clothes!
01:04:56I'm overruled. You look much better without them.
01:05:00I miss home, but there's a feeling in my own.
01:05:04To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:05:16Sometimes I wanna be on my own, but I don't wanna die alone.
01:05:20God!
01:05:21God!
01:05:22God!
01:05:23God!
01:05:24God!
01:05:25God, you were chillin' by the morning.
01:05:32Oopsie!
01:05:33Oopsie, umienda's gonna be like-
01:05:35My king!
01:05:37Okay!
01:05:38I did-
01:05:39Okay!
01:05:40One day is coming now.
01:05:42Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...
01:05:46I hate you.
01:05:48It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's being past through these books.
