00:00:10metaphors and margins okay like my mom self-made stubborn and never wrong
00:00:19almost there you excited for your first day she calls this a fresh start I call it terrifying

00:01:37I've always had words for everything 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 sleeping
00:02:02from everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you
00:02:06she was top of her class at a previous school

00:02:18that's enough 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
00:02:32what are you talking about their experience of the time

00:03:18okay first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual decision and second I think
00:03:24he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you really look at Charles he just
00:03:30seems isolated like he's making out honestly I just think he's lonely and kind of
00:03:36pathetic

00:09:36so you're worried about her
00:09:38you're overthinking
00:09:40i just don't like drama
00:09:47asshole
00:09:48who
00:09:50morning class
00:09:53back to golding
00:09:54remind me what he's saying through lord of the flies
00:10:01mr kenwood
00:10:03care to share what you found so amusing
00:10:05not particularly
00:10:06oh i insist
00:10:09you seem very entertained by golding
00:10:12i'm not entertained by golding sir
00:10:14on the contrary
00:10:15i think his ending is
00:10:19weak
00:10:20wait wait
00:10:21you wish you read it
00:10:22quiet
00:10:25that's an interesting take
00:10:26explain
00:10:29he had the setup for something brutal
00:10:31something honest
00:10:33but in the end
00:10:34he backed out
00:10:35he could have left the boys on the island
00:10:37forced them to confront
00:10:39the collapse of vulnerability
00:10:40let them choose survival
00:10:41or death
00:10:43but instead
00:10:44he gave them a rescue boat
00:10:46slapped a happily ever after
00:10:48on a book
00:10:48about savagery
00:10:52it's a waste
00:10:54don't you think
00:10:55i'm delightfully surprised charles
00:10:57didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:11:00i'm always a model student sir
00:11:02let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:06so
00:11:06a critique of golding's mercy
00:11:09anyone disagree
00:11:25i think golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:29it's not mercy
00:11:30it's irony
00:11:31how so
00:11:35the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:11:37you don't just walk back into society
00:11:39and forget you're a monster
00:11:40golding didn't save them
00:11:42he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:45that's an interesting take mosquito
00:11:47you still think it's a harsh critique
00:11:50in some ways
00:11:51but not harsh enough
00:11:54yes
00:11:54it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:11:56but still golding
00:11:58sympathize with them
00:11:59and the civilized world
00:12:01toxic
00:12:02violent
00:12:02he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:04so yeah
00:12:05i don't think golding pushed far enough
00:12:07but i think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:13thank you miss keaton
00:12:14well said
00:12:16anyone else
00:12:19both opinions are valid
00:12:21okay
00:12:21that's kind of epic
00:12:23golding faced major backlash
00:12:25when he first published the book
00:12:26good literature will always divide opinion
00:12:32what's happening to me
00:12:39okay what is going on
00:12:40why is everyone staring at me
00:12:43well
00:12:43you're new
00:12:44and apparently had a thing with charles
00:12:46a what now
00:12:47you two are in the middle of the most epic feud
00:12:50as you've seen in years
00:12:52we're not even fighting

00:13:13doesn't matter

00:19:29being a scholarship student has its perks

00:27:27But he wasn't.
00:27:31So that's why you and your mom moved here?
00:27:34This used to be our hometown.

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