00:10:41she's new
00:10:43everybody's already talking
00:10:44so you're worried about her
00:10:46you're overthinking
00:10:48i just don't like drama
00:10:55asshole
00:10:57who
00:10:59morning class
00:11:01back to golding
00:11:02remind me what he's saying through lord of the flies
00:11:10mr kenwood care to share what you found so amusing
00:11:13not particularly
00:11:15oh i insist you seem very entertained by golding
00:11:20i'm not entertained by golding sir
00:11:22on the contrary
00:11:24i think his ending is
00:11:26weak
00:11:28wait wait
00:11:29did i just embed it
00:11:31quiet
00:11:33that's an interesting take explain
00:11:38he had the set up for something brutal
00:11:41something honest
00:11:42in the end he backed out
00:11:44he could have left the boys on the island
00:11:46forced them to confront the collapse of vulnerability
00:11:48let them choose survival
00:11:50or death
00:11:52but instead he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:54slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:12:01it's a waste
00:12:02don't you think
00:12:03i'm delightfully surprised charles
00:12:05didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:12:08i'm always a model student sir
00:12:10let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:14so
00:12:15a critique of golding's mercy
00:12:17anyone disagree
00:12:34i think golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:12:38it's not mercy
00:12:39it's irony
00:12:40how so
00:12:44the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:12:46you don't just walk back into society
00:12:48and forget you're a monster
00:12:49golding didn't save them
00:12:51he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:12:53that's an interesting take misqueter
00:12:56you still think it's a harsh critique
00:12:58in some ways
00:12:59but not harsh enough
00:13:02yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:13:05but still golding sympathized with them
00:13:07and the civilized world
00:13:09toxic violent
00:13:11he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:13:12so yeah
00:13:13i don't think golding pushed far enough
00:13:15but i think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:21thank you miss keaton
00:13:22well said
00:13:24anyone else
00:13:28both opinions are valid
00:13:29okay
00:13:30that's kind of epic
00:13:31golding faced major backlash
00:13:33when he first published the book
00:13:35good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:41what's happening to me
00:13:42what's happening to me
00:13:48okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me
00:13:52well you're new
00:13:53and apparently had a thing with charles
00:13:55a what now
00:13:56you two are in the middle of the most epic feud as you've seen in years
00:14:00we're not even fighting
00:14:02well according to everyone
00:14:03you confessed your love on day one
00:14:05got rejected
00:14:06begged to sit next to him
00:14:08got rejected again
00:14:09and today in class
00:14:11you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:14:14and stormed out in tears
00:14:17you were there sherry
00:14:19that is not what happened
00:14:21doesn't matter
00:14:22people believe what they want to believe
00:14:24and they want charles to be flawless
00:14:27untouchable
00:14:28wow
00:14:30is misogyny like a rich kid thing
00:14:32or just a british specialty

00:17:30Alice!
00:17:44Come on, Alice.
00:17:46Close your eyes and jump.
00:17:49It's fine.
00:17:51We're fine.
00:18:14Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:18:19Are you happy with how we ended?
00:18:24What...
00:18:25What are you doing here?
00:18:29Can you get off me first?
00:18:40You're welcome.
00:18:42I didn't say thank you.
00:18:44I figured saving your life might have made basic manners.
00:18:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:18:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:18:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:18:53Wow.
00:18:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:18:59I wouldn't recommend it.
00:19:00You're heavier than you look.
00:19:03I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:19:10Are you okay?
00:19:12No.
00:19:13But I will be.
00:19:15Someone did this on purpose.
00:19:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:19:20Don't worry.
00:19:21I can handle it.
00:19:21You shouldn't have to.
00:19:25I'm...
00:19:26Sorry.
00:19:33Sorry.
00:19:39Did you just...
00:19:41Apologize to me?
00:19:42Don't get used to it.
00:19:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:19:46Alice?
00:19:48Over here.
00:19:49Oh my god.
00:19:51You okay?
00:19:54Why are you drenched?
00:19:56Yeah.
00:19:57I just...
00:19:58Took a weird shower.
00:19:59Top exploded.
00:20:02Come on.
00:20:03Let's go you home.
00:20:04Come on.
00:20:14Let's go you home.
00:20:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:20:16I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:20:42I know how this place works.
00:20:44If you don't do anything about it,
00:20:46it's only going to get worse.
00:20:49I'll look into it.
00:20:51Charles?
00:20:54Good on you.
00:20:55How many here would speak up?
00:21:01I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:21:03That's insane.
00:21:04Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:21:07Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:21:10Well, for what it's worth,
00:21:11I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:21:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:21:34Being a scholarship student has its perks.
00:21:37Like saving a fortune on tuition
00:21:40and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:21:45Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:21:48Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:21:51But sometimes, being here means standing behind.
00:21:54And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:22:00Have fun.
00:22:02Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:22:09The trip cost 20 grand in pounds,
00:22:12which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:22:15So yeah, I didn't go.
00:22:38Being a scholarship student has its perks.
00:22:41Like saving a fortune on tuition
00:22:44and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:22:49Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:22:52Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:22:55But sometimes, being here means standing behind.
00:22:58And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:23:05Have fun.
00:23:06Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:23:13The trip cost 20 grand in pounds,
00:23:16which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:23:19So yeah, I didn't go.
00:23:43What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:23:45Do you not believe in dignity?
00:23:47It's comfortable.
00:23:49You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:23:50This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:23:53And this is not even your house.
00:23:55And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:23:58Just don't look. Go away.
00:24:00Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:24:03What do you guys call it?
00:24:05Um, buzz kill? Cock block.
00:24:09You're insufferable.
00:24:10You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:24:12You know what? I don't get it.
00:24:13Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:24:14I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:24:17Why do you think?
00:24:23Where would I go?
00:24:25I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:24:29Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:24:34Or Titiano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:24:39Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:24:45Next stop, Napoli.
00:24:46Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:24:51The final stop, Harry.
00:24:53The ultimate city of romance.
00:24:56And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:25:04That's... word for word.
00:25:06I told you. I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:25:10Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:25:13Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:25:16Twice.
00:25:18Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:25:20Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:25:22Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you.
00:25:27Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:25:29Well, that's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:25:32One word of advice? Shut up.
00:25:34That's two words.
00:25:37You're weird.
00:25:38You're loud. You're annoying.
00:25:39You're in my kitchen.
00:25:40You have three other kitchens.
00:25:42And I prefer this one.
00:25:44Just for today.
00:25:45Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:25:47Come back with normal clothes on.
00:25:48You didn't have to come.
00:25:49Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:25:59That's a child. Roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight. Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:26:07I've got it sorted.
00:26:20Jesus, what are you doing?
00:26:22Relax.
00:26:25I'm here to make a deal.
00:26:26What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:26:33You'll survive.
00:26:34I'm not selling my body.
00:26:40I'm not selling my body.
00:26:46Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:26:50That thought disgusts me.
00:26:52Then what are you doing?
00:26:53The staff's off tonight.
00:26:55I'm buying dinner.
00:26:59Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:27:01No, I'm-
00:27:03Jesus.
00:27:04Wait.
00:27:05You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:27:09I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:27:12You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:27:17Are you sure about that?
00:27:20I present to you. Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries. You're welcome.
00:27:26Interesting combo.
00:27:28Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:27:32It's...
00:27:33good.
00:27:34Good.
00:27:40Was that a compliment?
00:27:41Although...
00:27:43I am obliged to inform you.
00:27:45Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:27:47It's American.
00:27:48And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:27:51You should read more.
00:27:53Put it down.
00:27:55I paid for it.
00:27:57You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:27:59To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:28:03It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:28:06You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:28:09I'll make sure that's fine.
00:28:24Okay, Alice. It's fine.
00:28:27You're fine.
00:28:34You're fine.
00:28:35911, what's for your emergency?
00:28:41Was that a compliment?
00:28:43Although...
00:28:43I am obliged to inform you.
00:28:46Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:28:48It's American.
00:28:49And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:28:52You should read more.
00:28:55Put it down.
00:28:57I paid for it.
00:28:58You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:29:00To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:29:05It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:29:08You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:29:10I'll make sure to make it very easy.
00:29:26Okay, Alice. It's fine. You're fine.
00:29:31Okay, Alice. It's fine. You're fine.
00:29:42You're fine.
00:29:43911, what's for your emergency?
00:29:44It's my dad.
00:29:45He needs help.
00:29:46He just had a stroke.
00:29:47Okay, miss.
00:29:48Hurricane constant traffic shut down.
00:29:49We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:29:51Please, he's not well.
00:29:52I understand.
00:29:53Can you confirm your address?
00:29:55Dad.
00:29:57Dad.
00:29:57Yes, I'm right here.
00:29:59Hi.
00:30:01My daughter.
00:30:02Please stay with me, Dad.
00:30:04Please.
00:30:08No.
00:30:10Please wake up.
00:30:16Dad, please.
00:30:17Please don't leave me.
00:30:50You...
00:30:51What are you doing here?
00:30:56You were crying.
00:30:59Loudly.
00:31:01Kind of hard to ignore.
00:31:03Right.
00:31:04Sorry for the noise.
00:31:07Wait.
00:31:07You know Snarky come back?
00:31:09Not tonight.
00:31:10I'm too tired.
00:31:11If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:31:15You were calling for your dad.
00:31:17Right?
00:31:19Hurricane hit New York.
00:31:21Power went down.
00:31:23Traffic froze.
00:31:25Dad had a stroke.
00:31:27But he couldn't get help in time.
00:31:30I sat there.
00:31:32With a candle.
00:31:34While he laid there.
00:31:37Peaceful.
00:31:39But he was asleep.
00:31:41But he wasn't.
00:31:46So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:31:49This used to be our hometown.
00:31:52After Dad left...
00:31:55We had nowhere else to go.
00:32:01What are you doing?
00:32:07Come on.
00:32:23Wait.
00:32:24I thought the power was out.
00:32:26It is.
00:32:27We have our own generator.
00:32:28Wow.
00:32:29Rich people houses her.
00:32:31Just for tonight.
00:32:33I'll allow it.
00:32:35Allow what?
00:32:36You can call this place your house.
00:32:39So enjoy it.
00:32:40Stephen King's first edition.
00:32:42Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:32:44Jane Austen's notes.
00:32:45All yours.
00:32:51This...
00:32:51Is your home.
00:32:54Alice Keaton.
00:32:59Careful.
00:33:01It almost sounded sweet.
00:33:03Don't push it.
00:33:04Okay then.
00:33:07I have...
00:33:09One request.
00:33:13What is it?
00:33:21Are you ever going to make a move?
00:33:23Wait.
00:33:23Give me a second.
00:33:25I'm thinking.
00:33:26You had one wish.
00:33:28Anything in the world.
00:33:29And in the middle of a thunderstorm.
00:33:32Inside a literal mansion.
00:33:34You chose chess.
00:33:36Yeah.
00:33:37Got a problem?
00:33:38It's just so cool.
00:33:39Like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:33:42It's literally a board game.
00:33:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:33:47Wait.
00:33:48Does the knight go diagonally?
00:33:50For the tenth time.
00:33:51It moves in an L shape.
00:33:54One.
00:33:55Two.
00:33:56Then turn.
00:33:58There.
00:34:00Happy.
00:34:00Ecstatic.
00:34:04That's suicide.
00:34:05Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:34:07You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:34:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:34:11You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:34:13Golding disagrees.
00:34:15It's going to be a long night.
00:34:16Oh my...
00:34:17No.
00:34:18Why? What's that?
00:34:18You can't do that.
00:34:20Can I do that?
00:34:21Oh my god.
00:34:42Maybe...
00:34:43He's not so awful after all.
00:34:52Um...
00:34:53Who are you?
00:34:59What are you doing here?
00:35:00Well your parents said you were still at home.
00:35:02Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:35:05Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:35:07When did you get back?
00:35:08Last night, from Zurich, you didn't answer my messages.
00:35:14I missed you.
00:35:15Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:35:18Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:35:21Your parents were so thrilled.
00:35:22They didn't tell me about this.
00:35:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:35:26They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:35:29You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:35:33Engagement.
00:35:35Oh, did no one tell you?
00:35:38He's promised.
00:35:39Old money stuff.
00:35:41Very retro.
00:35:42I didn't agree to that.
00:35:43You didn't have to.
00:35:44It's never up to us.
00:35:47Where did you find this little toy?
00:35:49Serena.
00:35:50I can hear you, you know.
00:35:51Oh, an American.
00:35:55How refreshing.
00:35:59Goodbye.
00:36:01Wait.
00:36:16What are you doing here?
00:36:17Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:36:19Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:36:22Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:36:24When did you get back?
00:36:26Last night.
00:36:27From Zurich.
00:36:27You didn't answer my messages.
00:36:31I missed you.
00:36:32Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:36:35Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:36:38Your parents were so thrilled.
00:36:39They didn't tell me about this.
00:36:41I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:36:43They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:36:46You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:36:50Engagement.
00:36:52Oh, did no one tell you?
00:36:55He's promised.
00:36:56Old money stuff.
00:36:58Very retro.
00:36:59I didn't agree to that.
00:37:00You didn't have to.
00:37:01It's never up to us.
00:37:03Where did you find this little toy?
00:37:06Serena.
00:37:07I didn't hear you, you know.
00:37:08Oh, an American.
00:37:11How refreshing.
00:37:16Goodbye.
00:37:18Wait.
00:37:34Where are you going?
00:37:35You still owe me breakfast.
00:37:37You only paid for dinner.
00:37:39I had homework.
00:37:41Goodbye.
00:37:44Your little toy has quite the temp time.
00:37:46Serena, can you please just stop?
00:37:48What?
00:37:49Teasing the help?
00:37:56That's her.
00:37:57That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:38:00Was she like, the maid or something?
00:38:17Oh my god.
00:38:18What's wrong with people?
00:38:20They're saying you live with Charles.
00:38:22Oh, and Serena.
00:38:23What about her?
00:38:24Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:38:28Of course she did.
00:38:42Careful, Alice.
00:38:43You're starting to look desperate.
00:38:45I'm coming from the school.
00:38:47I'm coming.
00:38:52I'm coming from the school.
00:38:53Don't tell him what's the name.
00:38:53I'm coming from the school.
00:38:54I'm coming from the school.
00:38:54This is my home.
00:38:56Yeah.
00:38:56Can you help me with what I want?
00:38:57I'm coming from the school.
00:38:58I know, it's 1066.
00:38:59I'm coming from the school.
00:39:00Come to the music room.
00:39:01Urgent.
00:39:02Uh, I just remembered I need to check something. You guys go ahead.
00:39:06Yeah, okay.
00:39:13Hello? Is someone there? Seriously! This is getting old!
00:39:29Wait.
00:39:31Music room, what?
00:39:34James?
00:39:35Is anybody in here earlier?
00:39:37Just Miss Serena. Said she was waiting for you.
00:39:41Sir?
00:39:43Sir, it's raining!
00:39:54Come on, Alice. You're fine.
00:39:58You're not that girl again.
00:40:06Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:40:09Okay. Rooks move in straight lines.
00:40:12Yeah.
00:40:13Bishops move diagonally.
00:40:15And knights...
00:40:16The knight's the weird one.
00:40:21Rooks.
00:40:23Street lines.
00:40:26Dishes.
00:40:27Diagonally.
00:40:29Hello?
00:40:31Hello?
00:40:49The text.
00:40:51Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:40:53I...
00:40:54I'm okay. I saw the text and I thought...
00:40:58I didn't see the message.
00:41:00Serena took my phone. I didn't know.
00:41:02I'm sorry.
00:41:03I'm okay.
00:41:05You're gonna catch a cold.
00:41:07You're freezing.
00:41:08You didn't have to come.
00:41:11Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:41:14Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:41:36That wasn't a mistake.
00:41:38If that's what you're about to say.
00:41:41I wasn't going to.
00:41:55Really bad at this, you know.
00:41:58What? Kissing?
00:41:59Hiding feelings.
00:42:22Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:42:24Oh, you wish.
00:42:27Seriously.
00:42:28It's a cock block.
00:42:30You kissed me.
00:42:33That's basically consent to everything.
00:42:40Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:42:42I might hold you to that.
00:43:08That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:43:12I wasn't going to.
00:43:25I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:43:29What? Kissing?
00:43:30Hiding feelings.
00:43:53Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:43:55Oh, you wish.
00:43:58Seriously.
00:44:00It's a cock block.
00:44:02You kissed me.
00:44:04That's basically consent to everything.
00:44:12Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:44:14I might hold you to that.
00:44:25You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:44:28The list is on the board.
00:44:31One, two, three, four.
00:44:34Paper planes.
00:44:36Are you okay?
00:44:38Fly me to outer space.
00:44:42That's where I'll see your face.
00:44:46And have you with me.
00:44:57You're distracting.
00:45:06You're welcome.
00:45:11They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:45:14Honestly?
00:45:16Both.
00:45:17I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:45:23No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:45:26They all just let me down.
00:45:27But baby, you saved me.
00:45:31Time been new.
00:45:33Everything's so different now.
00:45:36So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:45:41Why is that the only one you remember?
00:45:43Because it's weird, and I like weird.
00:45:54Check.
00:46:00You're cheating.
00:46:02I'm winning.
00:46:03There's a difference.
00:46:04You are very distracting.
00:46:06And you like it.
00:46:08I will be there for you, babe.
00:46:12I'll be there for the darkest days.
00:46:16I'll hold you in my arms.
00:46:18Charles.
00:46:20We need to talk.
00:46:28I expected poor judgment.
00:46:30But this, in my house?
00:46:33It isn't what it looks like.
00:46:34No.
00:46:35Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:46:39Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:46:40We came back tonight, after speaking with Serena.
00:46:44Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:46:47She isn't just...
00:46:48You have no right to barge in.
00:46:51On my property.
00:46:55I care about her.
00:46:57I'm not ashamed of that.
00:46:58That's enough.
00:47:01Why do you care?
00:47:03We're protecting our son's future.
00:47:05And our name.
00:47:07You think this protects me?
00:47:09We think she does not belong in your world.
00:47:15Then maybe I don't either.
00:47:19You're ready to give up everything.
00:47:21For a girl you barely know.
00:47:25Yes.
00:47:27Then, are you sure she's ready?
00:47:36I'm asking you.
00:47:37Do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:47:44Well, what are you talking about?
00:47:46You left us no choice, son.
00:47:47You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:47:52Pelton.
00:47:53It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:47:55Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:47:56How can I help?
00:47:57If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant
00:48:06a review?
00:48:07Do you think she's ready to lose everything, just to be with you?
00:48:08Yes, sir.
00:48:12So, answer me again.
00:48:14Do you think she's ready to lose everything, just to be with you?
00:48:29Charles! What happened? Did your parents say something? Are they mad? Is everything okay?
00:48:34Pack your things.
00:48:36You can't stay here anymore.
00:48:38What?
00:48:41My parents fired your mother. She's leaving. So are you.
00:48:45Wait, what, why? Is it because of us? We can fix this, I'll get a job, anything-
00:48:49Stop, stop it. You don't get it.
00:48:52If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:48:55Okay?
00:48:56No card, no trust, no support, nothing.
00:49:01Then, then we'll figure it out. We don't need all that, we can-
00:49:06Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:49:11So that's what this was. Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:49:17What did they promise you?
00:49:22Nothing.
00:49:25They just reminded me of what's real.
00:49:31Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:49:33You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:49:37What did they threaten you with?
00:49:43What did they threaten you with?
00:49:45This is the difference between me and you.
00:49:47What?
00:49:48You think you know me. Or what I have. You don't, Alice.
00:49:54You're still lying.
00:49:55I'm not, Alice. Look around you. This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:50:01It's my house. My world. I was bored into this. I am not choosing between this and something I picked
00:50:13up for a moment of fun.
00:50:17Don't do this, Charles. You don't mean it.
00:50:20It was fine. But you? You don't compare to what I own.
00:50:28I'll survive the loss.
00:50:31Right.
00:50:34I should have known.
00:50:37Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:50:42You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:50:44Go to sleep, Alice.
00:50:48Go to sleep, Alice.
00:51:04Go to sleep, Alice.
00:51:11You around me feel so heavy but depleted.
00:51:17But I find that's the place to test myself.
00:51:29Oops.
00:51:46Oh, sorry. Didn't see you there.
00:51:49Then again, nobody does.
00:51:52Move, please.
00:51:53Hmm. Try begging.
00:52:01You know what? Keep it.
00:52:07Poor thing. So dramatic.
00:52:11Don't.
00:52:12Excuse me.
00:52:14I warned you.
00:52:15Walk away, Serena.
00:52:37Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:52:41But one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:52:44Charles Kenwood and Alice Keating.
00:52:47Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:52:50She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:52:52Better have it.
00:52:53I couldn't stay.
00:52:54I couldn't wait.
00:52:56But I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:53:00Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:53:06Like logic and chaos.
00:53:07Or silence and noise.
00:53:10Different worlds, different rules.
00:53:14At first glance, they clash.
00:53:17But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:53:20Confused.
00:53:21Confusion.
00:53:22Curiosity.
00:53:23But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:53:26And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:53:38And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:53:42Is she still talking about the essay?
00:53:47Miss Keaton?
00:53:49Are you okay?
00:53:50Dramatic as always.
00:53:51Alright.
00:53:52Thank you, Alice.
00:53:54That was...
00:53:55Leia.
00:53:57Are you okay?
00:53:58A reminder that good literature always stir something.

01:00:03They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
01:00:05Wait, what? Who?
01:00:06No idea, but it's all taken care of.
01:00:12What did you say?
01:00:12Nothing. I just... had a dream.
01:00:28I got him!
01:00:32Oh, I knew it!
01:00:35Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
01:00:38He's not here.
01:00:40Oh, you didn't know?
01:00:42Know what?
01:00:44He left.
01:00:45A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
01:00:49Honestly, Asher has been quieter without him. It's probably for the best.
01:00:52Come on.
01:00:59Alice?
01:01:03The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
01:01:07Chaotic.
01:01:08Unexpected.
01:01:12And with his absence...
01:01:13Come on!
01:01:15It ended quietly.
01:01:19Like summers always do.
01:01:33And joining us today, the Dake's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
01:01:39Thank you for having me.
01:01:41Now, your words moved millions.
01:01:44They say your stories feel real.
01:01:47Especially the ones about love.
01:01:50Which brings us to the most obvious question.
01:01:52How's your dating life like these days?
01:01:54No comment.
01:01:56A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working.
01:02:01Not even a single date.
01:02:02Let me guess a bird named Shiri.
01:02:03She caught me.
01:02:05Still no comment.
01:02:06Alright, alright.
01:02:07No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
01:02:13If you're so real...
01:02:14Because once, I did.
01:02:16With someone who felt like chaos and clarity.
01:02:18Behind Alice Keaton's love.
01:02:20And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
01:02:22And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
01:02:36Congratulations, Alice.
01:02:38The numbers just came in.
01:02:39You broke your own record.
01:02:42That's... incredible.
01:02:44We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
01:02:48Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
01:02:52I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
01:02:56My sponsor.
01:02:58You're sure?
01:02:59Yeah.
01:03:00Just once.
01:03:01Tonight, 7pm.
01:03:14Good evening.
01:03:18And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
01:03:25Thank you for having me.

01:03:58If you're so real.
01:03:59Because once, I did.
01:04:01That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's love.
01:04:05And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
01:04:08And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.

01:04:44Yeah.
01:04:45Just once.
01:04:47Tonight, 7pm.
01:04:59Good evening.
01:05:04Good evening.
01:05:07May I sit?
01:05:17Hi.
01:05:19Hi.
01:05:22You look well.
01:05:25And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
01:05:29You always did.
01:05:31You were expecting someone else.
01:05:34I was.
01:05:36Hoping.
01:05:38But I guess I always knew.
01:05:40I didn't come here to confuse you.
01:05:42Or to reopen anything.
01:05:46I just wanted to say congratulations.
01:05:50Oh.
01:05:54I didn't know you were still reading.
01:05:56You were rich enough not to do so.
01:05:59Always.
01:06:00Either way.
01:06:02Your sponsorship started my career.
01:06:04So...
01:06:05No.
01:06:05No.
01:06:06You earned everything.
01:06:10Every word.
01:06:12Every page.
01:06:15Every reader.
01:06:17That's what I came to say.
01:06:22It was good to see you again.
01:06:24I hope.
01:06:24Charles.
01:06:26Can you just...
01:06:29Wait a little longer.
01:06:36I think I knew it was you.
01:06:40There was one email.
01:06:42You said something.
01:06:44Felt familiar.
01:06:45Really?
01:06:46Kinda had that rich asshole with a conscience energy.
01:06:50Very on brand.
01:06:52I should have anonymized my grammar.
01:06:54Too late.
01:06:55Your semicolon usage gave you away.
01:06:58Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
01:07:00Still the only guy I know who uses whilst unironically.
01:07:06You've changed.
01:07:09But...
01:07:10Not really.
01:07:12You haven't changed.
01:07:15But...
01:07:16Maybe you've grown into who you really were.
01:07:20Anyway.
01:07:21I wanted to say...
01:07:26And...
01:07:27Thanks for being here tonight.
01:07:29You didn't have to come.
01:07:31Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:07:36You didn't have to come.
01:07:38Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:08:00If you could go back.
01:08:02If you had the chance to do it all again.
01:08:04Would you do anything differently?
01:08:11No.
01:08:16No.
01:08:21I see.
01:08:25I know my answer now.
01:08:26I see.
01:08:26I didn't have the power back then.
01:08:29Not enough to protect you.
01:08:31I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
01:08:34Because of my name.
01:08:36My family.
01:08:38I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:08:41So you just disappeared.
01:08:43Without a word.
01:08:47If you had the chance to see the world.
01:08:49Without me weighing you down.
01:08:52If you still chose me after that.
01:08:56That's...
01:08:57You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice.
01:09:01But you made a choice for me.
01:09:05Did it ever cross your mind that maybe...
01:09:09I would have chosen you anyway?
01:09:16I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:09:19You weren't.
01:09:22But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:09:33This is me.
01:09:35Right.
01:09:42I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:09:47I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:09:56Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:10:01You're asking your ex,
01:10:02who you haven't seen in four years,
01:10:05to come into your hotel
01:10:07at approximately 11pm.
01:10:10You were right.
01:10:11You never were that smart.
01:10:13You don't have to come.
01:10:15Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:10:31Stop quoting yourself.
01:10:33I recycle.
01:10:34It saves energy.
01:10:36This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:10:38You sound like a disclaimer.
01:10:39You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:10:42I said that?
01:10:43Yeah.
01:10:44Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:10:47Still is.
01:10:48You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:10:54That is cute to me.
01:10:55Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:10:57I wasn't going to.
01:10:58Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:10:58I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:11:01Then shut up.
01:11:03And prove it.
01:11:12Stop quoting yourself.
01:11:13I recycle.
01:11:14It saves energy.
01:11:17This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:11:19You sound like a disclaimer.
01:11:20You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:11:23You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:11:23I said that?
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:25Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:11:27Still is.
01:11:29You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:11:34That is cute to me.
01:11:36Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:11:38I wasn't going to.
01:11:39I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:11:42Then shut up.
01:11:44Then prove it.
01:11:50I still can't believe this is happening.
01:11:52I told you.
01:11:53They're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:11:56And I told you.
01:11:57They're both.
01:12:13They're both.
01:12:13Let it be.
01:12:24I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:12:27Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:12:30Then I lie.
01:12:32Respectfully.
01:12:34I vow to keep choosing you.
01:12:37Loudly.
01:12:38Quietly.
01:12:40Always.
01:12:42Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:12:46Is he actually good at this?
01:12:48I mean.
01:12:49He did beat her at sarcasm.
01:12:53I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:12:56Especially over Shakespeare.
01:12:59I vow to write you in your every story.
01:13:01Even when I say I didn't.
01:13:03You will always be a part of my life.
01:13:07If she quotes Austin in this toast.
01:13:09I'm out.
01:13:09No you're not.
01:13:10You're going to cry harder.
01:13:34No you're not.
01:13:37You're going to cry harder.
01:13:41I'm out.
01:13:43I'm out.
01:13:44I'm out.
01:13:56I'm out.
01:14:01I'm out.
01:14:04You can't take off these clothes.
01:14:05Overruled.
01:14:06You look much better without them.
01:14:13To the ones who loved in silence.
01:14:16In chaos.
01:14:16In chapters.
01:14:17In the years, you will find your way home.
01:14:41Oopsie!
01:14:42You're my king!
01:14:53You're my king!
01:14:54It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:15:00Help us develop, learn and grow.
