00:09:31why not just give miss keaton a lift
00:09:33and have the whole school go crazy
00:09:36she's new
00:09:37everybody's already talking
00:09:39so you're worried about her?
00:09:40you're overthinking
00:09:42i just don't like drama
00:09:50asshole
00:09:51who?
00:09:53morning class
00:09:55back to golding
00:09:57remind 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 i insist
00:10:11you seem very entertained by golding
00:10:14i'm not entertained by golding sir
00:10:17on the contrary
00:10:19i think his ending is
00:10:21weak
00:10:23wait wait
00:10:24you actually read it?
00:10:25quiet
00:10:27that's an interesting take
00:10:29explain
00:10:32he had the set up for something brutal
00:10:35something honest
00:10:37in the end he backed out
00:10:39he could have left the boys on the island
00:10:41forced them to confront the collapse of all morality
00:10:43let them choose survival
00:10:45or death
00:10:47but instead he gave them a rescue boat
00:10:49slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:53it's a waste
00:10:56don't you think?
00:10:58i'm delightfully surprised charles
00:11:00didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:11:03i'm always a model student sir
00:11:05let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:09so
00:11:11a critique of golding's mercy
00:11:13anyone disagree?
00:11:22i think golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:32it's not mercy
00:11:34it's irony
00:11:36how so?
00:11:38the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:11:41you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:44golding didn't save them
00:11:46he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:48that's an interesting take miss Keaton
00:11:51you still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:53in some ways
00:11:55but not harsh enough
00:11:57yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:00but still golding sympathized with them
00:12:03and the civilized world?
00:12:05toxic, violent, he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:08so yeah i don't think golding pushed far enough
00:12:10but i think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:12thank you miss keaton
00:12:18well said
00:12:20anyone else?
00:12:23both opinions are valid
00:12:25okay that's kind of epic
00:12:27and let's not forget
00:12:29golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:31good literature will always divide opinions
00:12:36what's happening to me?
00:12:37okay what is going on? why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:45well you're new
00:12:47and apparently had a thing with charles
00:12:50a what now?
00:12:52you two are in the middle of the most epic feud at your scene in years
00:12:56we're not even fighting
00:12:58well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one
00:13:00got rejected
00:13:02begged to sit next to him
00:13:03got rejected again
00:13:04and today in class
00:13:06you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:13:09and stormed out in tears
00:13:11you were there sherry that is not what happened
00:13:15doesn'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
00:13:26is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a british specialty?
00:13:28honestly both
00:13:30but seriously alice
00:13:31some people already see you as a threat
00:13:41okay
00:13:43loaded

00:14:41oh shit
00:14:47what the hell?
00:14:48Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:14:52She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:14:59Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:08Shit.
00:15:09Alice! Alice! Mr. Pelton, Charles Kenwood here. I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton. She hasn't come home.
00:15:22I'll have it sent over.
00:15:24Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:30Alice!
00:15:39Come on, Alice. Close your eyes and jump. It's fine. We're fine.
00:15:51We're fine.
00:15:54We're fine.
00:15:57What are you doing here?
00:16:27Can you get off me first?
00:16:40You're welcome.
00:16:42I didn't say thank you.
00:16:44I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:16:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:53Wow.
00:16:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:16:59I wouldn't recommend it.
00:17:00You're heavier than you look.
00:17:04I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:11Are you okay?
00:17:12No.
00:17:13But I will be.
00:17:16Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:17What do you think golden boy?
00:17:20Don't worry I can handle it.
00:17:21You shouldn't have to.
00:17:25I'm...
00:17:27Sorry.
00:17:28Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:41Don't get used to it.
00:17:42I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:43Alice?
00:17:44Over here.
00:17:45You okay?
00:17:46Why are you drenched?
00:17:47Yeah.
00:17:48I just...
00:17:49took a weird shower.
00:17:50Top exploded.
00:17:51Come on.
00:17:52Let's get you home.
00:17:53Alice Cheaton, right?
00:17:54I've heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:17:55Why are you drenched?
00:17:57Yeah, I just took a weird shower, tap exploded.
00:18:03Come on, let's get you home.
00:18:15Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:17I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:25I know how this place works. If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:50I'll look into it.
00:18:51Charles, good on you. How many here would speak up?
00:19:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in. That's insane.
00:19:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:08Busy protecting their golden boys and trust friends.
00:19:11Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:17Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:21Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:45Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:19:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:51But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:19:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:00Have 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.
00:20:16So, yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:31What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:45It's comfortable.
00:20:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:48This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:50And this is not even your house. And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:54Just don't look. Go away.
00:20:57Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:00What do you guys call it?
00:21:03Buzzkill? Cockblock.
00:21:05You're insufferable.
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:08You know what? I don't get it. Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:12I thought rich people lived for that kind of thing.
00:21:14Why do you think?
00:21:21Where would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:25Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:21:32Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:35Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:42The next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:48The final stop, Harry. The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:01That's word for word.
00:22:03I 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.
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice.
00:22:16Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No, thank you.
00:22:25Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27Well, that's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:30One word of advice? Shut up.
00:22:32That's two words.
00:22:35You're weird.
00:22:36You're loud. You're annoying.
00:22:37You're in my kitchen.
00:22:38You have three other kitchens.
00:22:39And I prefer this one.
00:22:42Just for today.
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:46You didn't have to come.
00:22:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:48Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:57Master Charles, roads are flooded.
00:22:59Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:00Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:05I've got it sorted.
00:23:06Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:20Relax.
00:23:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:25What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:31You'll survive.
00:23:33I'm not selling my body.
00:23:36I'm not selling my body.
00:23:44Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:23:48That thought disgusts me.
00:23:50Then what are you doing?
00:23:51The staff's off tonight.
00:23:53I'm buying dinner.
00:23:57Did you seriously think I'd spend £100 on...
00:23:59No, I'm...
00:24:01Jesus.
00:24:01Wait, you think I'm not worth £100?
00:24:08I'm not spending £100 to snort Chewbacca.
00:24:10You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:15Are you sure about that?
00:24:19I present to you.
00:24:20Meatball spaghetti, stir fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:23You'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...
00:24:32good.
00:24:32Was that a compliment?
00:24:40Although...
00:24:41I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:43Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:24:45It's American.
00:24:46And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:49You should read more.
00:24:52Put it down.
00:24:54I 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.
00:25:02It's only easy because it costs £200.
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.
00:25:08I'll make sure that you don't have to do it.
00:25:23Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:26You're fine.
00:25:33911, look for your emergency.
00:25:38911, what's for your emergency?
00:25:41It's my dad.
00:25:42He needs help.
00:25:43He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, ma'am.
00:25:45Hurricane constant traffic shut down.
00:25:46We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:49I understand.
00:25:51Can you confirm your address?
00:25:54Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56Hi.
00:25:58My daughter.
00:25:59Please stay with me, dad.
00:26:01Please.
00:26:06No.
00:26:06Please wake up.
00:26:13Dad, please.
00:26:15Please don't leave me.
00:26:28Dad, please.
00:26:47You...
00:26:48What are you doing here?
00:26:49You were crying.
00:26:55Loudly.
00:26:57Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right.
00:27:01Sorry for the night.
00:27:03Wait, you know snarky come back?
00:27:06Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:27:09If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling from your dad, right?
00:27:16A 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 had laid there.
00:27:35Peaceful.
00:27:37Like he was asleep.
00:27:39But he wasn't.
00:27:40So that's why you and your mum moved here.
00:27:47This used to be our hometown.
00:27:50After dad left,
00:27:53we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:54What are you doing?
00:28:04Come on.
00:28:05Wait, I thought the peril 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.
00:28:39Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:42Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:43All 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.
00:29:06I have one request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait, give me a second.
00:29:22I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:28And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:29:29inside a literal mansion,
00:29:32you chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Got a problem?
00:29:35It's just so cool, like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:40It's literally a board game.
00:29:42Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:45Wait, does the night go diagonally?
00:29:48For the tenth time, it moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One, two, then turn.
00:29:55There.
00:29:58Happy?
00:29:58Ecstatic.
00:30:02No, that's suicide.
00:30:03Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:05You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:30:07Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:09You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:11Golding disagrees.
00:30:12It's going to be a long night.
00:30:14What?
00:30:15Oh my...
00:30:15No.
00:30:16Why?
00:30:16What's wrong with that?
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:18No, no.
00:30:19Oh my god.
00:30:40Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:44Oh my god.
00:30:51Um, who are you?
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:58Well, 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.
00:31:12I 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.
00:31:31Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:36He'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?
00:31:47Serena.
00:31:48I can hear you, you know.
00:31:49Oh, an American.
00:31:53How refreshing.
00:31:58Goodbye.
00:31:59Wait.
00:32:00Where are you going?
00:32:17You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:19You only paid for dinner.
00:32:21I had homework.
00:32:22Goodbye.
00:32:26Your little toy has quite the temper.
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.
00:33:10Of course she did.
00:33:13Oh my god.
00:33:24Careful, Alice.
00:33:25You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:42Come to the music room.
00:33:43I just remembered.
00:33:45I need to check something.
00:33:47You guys go ahead.
00:33:48Yeah, okay.
00:33:55Hello?
00:33:55Is someone there?
00:33:57Seriously?
00:33:59This is getting old.
00:34:00Wait.
00:34:13Music room?
00:34:14What?
00:34:16James?
00:34:17Was anybody in here earlier?
00:34:19Just Miss Serena.
00:34:20Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:23Sir?
00:34:23Sir, 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.
00:34:52Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:54Yeah.
00:34:55Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:57And knights...
00:34:57The knights?
00:34:58The knights the weird one.
00:35:04Rooks.
00:35:07Straight lines.
00:35:08Dishes.
00:35:10Diagonally.
00:35:11Hello?
00:35:12Hello?
00:35:12Hello?
00:35:31The text?
00:35:33Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:35:35I'm okay. I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:39I didn't see the message.
00:35:41Serena took my phone. I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:35:44I'm okay.
00:35:47You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:49You're freezing.
00:35:50You didn't have to come.
00:35:53Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:11That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:36:21I... wasn't going to.
00:36:25You're really bad at this, you know.
00:36:40What? Kissing?
00:36:41Hiding feelings.
00:36:42I don't like that.
00:36:44Do you wanna dance?
00:36:45Do not rhythm over her.
00:36:46This is not forgiven.
00:36:48I'm flying in the unknown.
00:36:50Tell me what you said.
00:36:52Tell me where you wanna be.
00:36:54Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:06Oh, you wish.
00:37:09Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:37:12You kissed me.
00:37:14That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:19Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:37:24I might hold you to that.
00:37:26You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:39The list is on the board.
00:37:43One, two, three, four...
00:37:48Are you okay?
00:37:56You're distracting.
00:38:18You're welcome.
00:38:23They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:26Honestly?
00:38:27Right?
00:38:48So...
00:38:49The night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:52Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:54Because it's weird.
00:38:56And I like weird.
00:39:06Check.
00:39:12You're cheating.
00:39:13I'm winning.
00:39:14There's a difference.
00:39:15You are very distracting.
00:39:17And you like it.
00:39:18Charles.
00:39:19We need to talk.
00:39:32I expected poor judgment.
00:39:33But this in my house?
00:39:35It isn't what it looks like.
00:39:36No.
00:39:37Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:38Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:39We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:42Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:39:43She isn't just...
00:39:44You have no right to barge in.
00:39:45On my property.
00:39:46I care about her.
00:39:47I'm not ashamed.
00:39:48That's enough.
00:39:49That's enough.
00:39:50Why do you care?
00:39:51We're protecting our son's future.
00:39:52And our name.
00:39:53You think this protects me?
00:39:54We think.
00:39:55She does not belong in your world.
00:39:56We think.
00:39:57But her does not belong in your world.
00:39:58I'm not ashamed to trust her.
00:39:59My dad's angry.
00:40:00I'm not ashamed.
00:40:01Is that right?
00:40:02No, Marlon?
00:40:03No.
00:40:04No.
00:40:05No.
00:40:06No.
00:40:07No.
00:40:09No.
00:40:10No.
00:40:11No.
00:40:12No.
00:40:14No.
00:40:15No.
00:40:16No.
00:40:17No.
00:40:18No, because we don't look.
00:40:19No.
00:40:20Right.
00:40:21No.
00:40:22She does not belong in your world.
00:40:28Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:32You're ready to give up everything for a girl you barely know?
00:40:38Yes.
00:40:39Then are you sure she's ready?
00:40:43I'm asking you, do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:40:56What are you talking about?
00:40:58You left us no choice, son. You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:04Pelton, it's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:07Ah, Mr. Kenwood, how 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.
00:41:24So, answer me again.
00:41:27Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:40Charles, what happened? Did your parents say something? Are they mad? Is everything okay?
00:41:47Pack your things.
00:41:49You can't stay here anymore.
00:41:51What?
00:41:53My parents fired your mother.
00:41:55She's leaving.
00:41:57So are you.
00:41:58Wait, why?
00:41:59Is it because of us?
00:42:00We can fix this. I'll get a job, anything-
00:42:02Stop, stop it. You don't get it.
00:42:05If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:08Okay?
00:42:09No card.
00:42:10No trust.
00:42:11No support.
00:42:13Nothing.
00:42:14Then...
00:42:15Then we'll figure it out.
00:42:16We don't need all that.
00:42:17We can-
00:42:19Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:24So that's what this was?
00:42:26Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:42:29What?
00:42:30What did they promise you?
00:42:35Nothing.
00:42:38They just reminded me of what's real.
00:42:44Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:42:46You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:42:49What did they threaten you with?
00:42:51This is the difference between me and you.
00:42:52What?
00:42:53You think you know me.
00:42:54Or what I have.
00:42:55You don't, Alice.
00:42:57You're still lying.
00:42:58I'm not, Alice.
00:42:59Look around you.
00:43:00This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:02It's my house.
00:43:03My world.
00:43:05I was bored into this.
00:43:06I am not choosing.
00:43:08My world.
00:43:09I was bored into this.
00:43:11I am not choosing.
00:43:12I am not choosing.
00:43:13This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:15It's my house.
00:43:16My world.
00:43:17My world.
00:43:18I was bored into this.
00:43:19I am not choosing between this.
00:43:25And something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:30Don't do this, Charles.
00:43:31You don't mean it.
00:43:33Look, it was fun.
00:43:35But you?
00:43:37You don't compare it to what I own.
00:43:41I'll survive the loss.
00:43:44Right.
00:43:47I should have known.
00:43:50Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:43:55You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:43:59Go to sleep, Alice.
00:44:00This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:44:18In so deep I can barely see myself.
00:44:21Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted.
00:44:30But I find just a place to test myself.
00:44:42Oops.
00:44:51I'm sorry.
00:44:52Didn't see that.
00:44:53Then again, nobody does.
00:44:54Move, please.
00:44:55Hmm.
00:44:56Try begging.
00:45:00You know what?
00:45:01Keep it.
00:45:02Poor thing.
00:45:03So dramatic.
00:45:04Don't.
00:45:05Excuse me.
00:45:06I warned you.
00:45:07Walk away, Serena.
00:45:08Walk away, Serena.
00:45:09begging. You know what? Keep it. Poor thing. So dramatic. Don't. Excuse me. I warned you.
00:45:29Walk away, Serena.
00:45:50Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable. But one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:45:57Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton. Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:46:03If she loves the sound of her own voice, better have it.
00:46:14Our 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. Curiosity.
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.
00:46:51And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:46:53Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:01Miss Keaton.
00:47:03Dramatic as always.
00:47:05All right. Thank you, Alice. That was laid.
00:47:11You okay?
00:47:12A reminder that good literature always stirs something.
00:47:15always stirs something.
00:47:19Hello?
00:47:20Hi, here's Alex Keaton. This is Whitmore Press.
00:47:22We've been following your work.
00:47:24We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:47:26Name your price. We'll make it work.
00:47:28Sorry, what?
00:47:33That's... kind of insane.
00:47:36Who's behind this?
00:47:37Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:47:40Can... can I meet them?
00:47:43I want to. Please.
00:47:47Or at least tell me a name.
00:47:52Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:47:54So their only interest in words, not the person.
00:47:56I'd really like to meet them.
00:47:57Oh, I'm sorry, just keep them.
00:47:58They were very good.
00:47:59I think the most generous one we've ever given a Disney writer.
00:48:02I see.
00:48:04Congratulations again.
00:48:10You got the interview!
00:48:11I haven't gotten in yet.
00:48:13Still, Alex Keaton at Oxford.
00:48:15That's iconic.
00:48:25You okay?
00:48:26Yeah.
00:48:27I'm so excited!
00:48:29I'm so excited!
00:48:43It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:48:44Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:48:47Good.
00:48:48It's a generous deal.
00:48:49You sure you don't want it to know?
00:48:52No.
00:48:53No.
00:48:54It's better if I stay out of her life.
00:48:56I will be there for you, babe.
00:49:00I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:49:05Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:49:08Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:49:11Your engagement and advancement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:49:20And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:49:24It's all coming together beautifully.
00:49:28I've lost my appetite.
00:49:36I'll go check on him.
00:49:42What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:47Disengagement is not happening.
00:49:49It's not up to you.
00:49:50You know that.
00:49:51Serena, we're not doing this.
00:49:55You've changed.
00:50:00Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:50:21You're the sponsor.
00:50:22You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:50:38So?
00:50:39You lied to everyone.
00:50:40Including her.
00:50:42I protected her.
00:50:46You loved her.
00:50:47Still do.
00:50:49Let it go, Serena.
00:50:53There's no point.
00:51:03I need a favour.
00:51:04Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:07And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:14Anything?
00:51:15Myra?
00:51:17She's not answering.
00:51:18The interview is almost over.
00:51:19Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:22Something's wrong.
00:51:24Where's Alice?
00:51:26When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:28Last night.
00:51:29She said she was prepping all evening.
00:51:35James, track someone for me.
00:51:38Wait.
00:51:39Where are you going?
00:51:40I'm not going to go.
00:51:41I'm not going to go.
00:51:42I'm not going to go.
00:51:43I'm not going to go.
00:51:44I'm not going to go.
00:51:45I'm not going to go.
00:51:46I'm not going to go.
00:51:47Chill.
00:51:48Okay.
00:51:49It won't hurt you.
00:51:50Yeah.
00:51:51We're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:51:53That's it.
00:52:02Shit.
00:52:03Come back.
00:52:04I'm not going to go.
00:52:08I'll get back.
00:52:27How old are you?
00:52:29I remember how it meant
00:52:33Didn't need a second guess
00:52:37Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:52:42Alice, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:52:46Alice
00:52:46You're awake?
00:52:55Where, where am I?
00:52:57A local clinic. Passer-by brought you in
00:53:00Passer-by
00:53:02He found you on the side of the road
00:53:04He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:53:07Oh
00:53:10The 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?
00:53:22No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:27What did you say?
00:53:29Nothing
00:53:30I just
00:53:32had a dream
00:53:34I got him!
00:53:44Oh, I knew it!
00:53:49Too 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
00:54:07It's probably for the best
00:54:08Come on
00:54:09I couldn't stay
00:54:10I couldn't wait
00:54:11I thought that you should know
00:54:12I would have
00:54:13I'm hanging around
00:54:14The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud
00:54:17Chaotic
00:54:18Unexpected
00:54:19And with his absence
00:54:20Come on
00:54:21Come on
00:54:22It ended quietly
00:54:23Like summers always do
00:54:36And joining us today
00:54:50The Dake's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:54:54Alice Keaton
00:54:55Thank you for having me
00:54:56No, 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?
00:55:09No 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
00:55:17Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:55:19She caught me
00:55:20Still no comment
00:55:21Alright, alright
00:55:22No 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
00:55:31I did
00:55:32With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:55:34That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's
00:55:36And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:55:38And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:55:52Congratulations Alice
00:55:54The numbers just came in
00:55:55You broke your own record
00:55:57That's incredible
00:56:00We're thinking celebration
00:56:01Press
00:56:02Photos
00:56:03Maybe tonight
00:56:04Actually
00:56:05There's something I'd rather do
00:56:07I'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
00:56:16Just once
00:56:17Tonight
00:56:187pm
00:56:19Good evening
00:56:20Good evening
00:56:34Good evening
00:56:35May I sit?
00:56:36Hi
00:56:37Hi
00:56:49Hi
00:56:50Hi
00:56:51You look well
00:56:53You look well
00:56:54And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:56:59You always did
00:57:00You were expecting someone else
00:57:03I was
00:57:05Hoping
00:57:06But I guess I always knew
00:57:10I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:12I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:13Or to re-open anything
00:57:15Hope you liked the attention
00:57:17I just wanted to say congratulations
00:57:20Oh
00:57:21Thank you
00:57:22Thanks for keeping this room
00:57:24Didn't know you were 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
00:57:34So
00:57:35No
00:57:36No
00:57:37You've earned everything
00:57:41Every word
00:57:42Every page
00:57:44Every reader
00:57:46That's what I came to say
00:57:53It was good to see you again
00:57:54I hope
00:57:55Charles
00:57:57Can you just
00:57:58Wait a little longer
00:58:08I think I knew it was you
00:58:11There was one email
00:58:14You said something
00:58:15It felt familiar
00:58:16Really?
00:58:17Kinda had that
00:58:18Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:58:21Very on brand
00:58:23I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:25Too late
00:58:26Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:27Still the only girl I know
00:58:29Still 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
00:58:38You've changed
00:58:40But
00:58:42Not really
00:58:44You haven't changed
00:58:46But
00:58:47Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:58:49But
00:58:51Anyway
00:58:53I wanted to say
00:58:55Thank you
00:58:57And
00:58:59Thanks for being here tonight
00:59:01You didn't have to come
00:59:03Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:04I do
00:59:07You didn't have to come
00:59:09Don't tell me
00:59:10Don't tell me
00:59:11What I have to do
00:59:12Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:13If you could go back
00:59:14If you had the chance to do it all again
00:59:15Would you do anything differently?
00:59:16If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
00:59:20No
00:59:32If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
00:59:43No
00:59:44No
00:59:52I see
00:59:56I know my answer now
00:59:57I 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
01:00:05Because of my name
01:00:07My family
01:00:10I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:00:12So you just disappeared
01:00:15Without a word
01:00:19If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:21Without me weighing you down
01:00:23If you still chose me after that
01:00:29You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:32But you made a choice for me
01:00:36Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:38I would have chosen you anyway?
01:00:39I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:00:50You weren't
01:00:52But I never claimed to be that smart
01:00:55I never claimed to be that smart
01:01:05This is me
01:01:07Right
01:01:14I'm still mad at you, you know
01:01:15I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:19I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:28Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:30You're asking your ex
01:01:32Who you haven't seen in four years
01:01:34To come into your hotel
01:01:36At approximately 11pm
01:01:39You were right
01:01:41You never were that smart
01:01:43You don't have to come
01:01:45Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:47Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:49Stop quoting yourself
01:02:04I recycle
01:02:06It saves energy
01:02:08This feels wildly irresponsible
01:02:10You sound like a disclaimer
01:02:12You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:02:14I said that?
01:02:15Yeah
01:02:17Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:02:19Still is
01:02:21You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:26That is cute to me
01:02:28Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:30I wasn't going to
01:02:32I forgot all of it the day you left
01:02:34Then shut up
01:02:36And prove it
01:02:37From rock
01:02:49I still can't believe this is happening
01:02:51I told you
01:02:55Either worst enemies or secretly married
01:02:57And I told you
01:02:59They're both
01:03:01It's enough to let folks
01:03:03Let it be
01:03:05I vow to always tell you the truth, except for when you ask how your cooking was, then I lie. Respectfully.
01:03:24I vow to keep choosing you. Loudly. Quietly. Always. Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:03:37Is he actually good at this? I mean, he did beat her at sarcas, wasn't he?
01:03:45I vow to argue with you at least twice a week, especially over Shakespeare.
01:03:50I vow to write you and your every story, even when I say I didn't. You will always be part of my life.
01:03:58If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:04:01No you're not, you're gonna cry harder.
01:04:20I can't believe you picked Paris. Such a cliché honeymoon destination. Guard your phone.
01:04:32Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:38You are not wearing that on our honeymoon. Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:45Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:51No. No, no, no, no. That is not an invitation. Do not take off these clothes.
01:04:56You're overruled. You look much better without them.
01:05:05To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:05:13Look how scary is that.
01:05:22Rock- The point is to fall for it.
01:05:26The one in mine is the end of October, zero to the end of October, five, 10th, seven, nine, ten times,
01:05:34It's getting healthier.
01:05:36it's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books
01:05:51help us develop learn and grow
