00:02:29Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very important that we look at what he's talking about their experience of the time
00:02:40wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it don't take it past

00:03:15close no one can get past his ego you're not the first to get ice
00:03:19okay first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual decision and second I think he's arrogant cold
00:03:27thinks he's untouchable but if you really look at Charles he just seems isolated like he's faking out honestly I

00:09:16ashford institute please
00:09:18thank you
00:09:22who needs that entitled brat anyway
00:09:25sir
00:09:26you called the cab
00:09:27why not just give miss keaton a lift
00:09:35why not just give miss keaton a lift
00:09:37and have the whole school go crazy
00:09:39she's new
00:09:41everybody's already talking
00:09:42so you're worried about her
00:09:44you're overthinking
00:09:46I just don't like drama
00:09:53asshole
00:09:55who
00:09:57morning class
00:09:59back to golding
00:10:00remind me what he's saying through lord of the flies
00:10:08mr kenwood
00:10:09care to share what you found so amusing
00:10:11not particularly
00:10:13oh
00:10:14I insist
00:10:15you seem very entertained by golding
00:10:18I'm not entertained by golding sir
00:10:20on the contrary
00:10:22I think his ending is
00:10:25weak
00:10:26wait wait
00:10:27you actually read it
00:10:29quiet
00:10:31that's an interesting take
00:10:33explain
00:10:36he had the set up for something brutal
00:10:38something honest
00:10:39but in the end
00:10:41he backed out
00:10:42he could have left the boys on the island
00:10:44forced them to confront the collapse of all morality
00:10:46let them choose survival
00:10:48or death
00:10:50but instead
00:10:51he gave them a rescue boat
00:10:52slapped a happily ever after
00:10:54on a book about savagery
00:10:59it's a waste
00:11:00don't you think
00:11:01I'm delightfully surprised charles
00:11:03didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:11:06I'm always a model student sir
00:11:08let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:12so
00:11:13a critique of golding's mercy
00:11:15anyone disagree
00:11:33I think golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:36it's not mercy
00:11:37it's irony
00:11:39how so
00:11:42the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:11:44you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:48golding didn't save them
00:11:49he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:52that's an interesting take misqueter
00:11:54you still think it's a harsh critique
00:11:57in some ways
00:11:58but not harsh enough
00:12:01yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:03but still golding sympathize with them
00:12:06and the civilized world
00:12:08toxic
00:12:09violent
00:12:09he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:11so yeah
00:12:12I don't think golding pushed far enough
00:12:14but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:20thank you miss keaton
00:12:22well said
00:12:23anyone else?
00:12:26both opinions are valid
00:12:28okay
00:12:28that's kind of epic
00:12:30and let's not forget
00:12:30golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:34good literature will always divide opinion
00:12:40what's happening to me?
00:12:57okay what is going on?
00:12:59why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:01well you're new
00:13:02and apparently had a thing with charles
00:13:04a what now?
00:13:06you two are in the middle of the most epic feud as you've seen in years
00:13:10we're not even fighting
00:13:11well according to everyone
00:13:12you confessed your love on day one
00:13:14got rejected
00:13:15begged to sit next to him
00:13:17got rejected again
00:13:18and today in class
00:13:20you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:13:23and stormed out in tears
00:13:27you were there sherry
00:13:28that is not what happened
00:13:31doesn't matter
00:13:31people believe what they want to believe
00:13:34and they want charles to be flawless
00:13:36untouchable
00:13:37wow
00:13:39is misogyny like a rich kid thing
00:13:41or just a british specialty?

00:16:40What... what are you doing here?
00:16:45Can you get off me first?
00:16:56You're welcome.
00:16:58I didn't say thank you.
00:17:00I figured saving your life might turn me basic manners.
00:17:02Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:17:05Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:17:07You smell like a biology experiment.
00:17:09Wow.
00:17:11You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:15Wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:17:19I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:26Are you okay?
00:17:28No. But I will be.
00:17:31Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:33What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:36Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:17:37You shouldn't have to.
00:17:41I'm...
00:17:42Sorry.
00:17:50Sorry.
00:17:55Did you just...
00:17:57apologize to me?
00:17:58Don't get used to it.
00:17:59I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:03Alice?
00:18:04Over here.
00:18:05Oh my god.
00:18:08You okay?
00:18:11Why are you drenched?
00:18:12Yeah.
00:18:13I just...
00:18:14took a weird shower.
00:18:16Top exploded.
00:18:18Come on.
00:18:19Let's get you home.
00:18:30Alice Keaton, right?
00:18:33I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:19:00I know how this place works. If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:06I'll look into it.
00:19:09Charles.
00:19:11Good on you.
00:19:13How many here would speak up?
00:19:18I can't believe someone actually locked you in. That's insane.
00:19:22Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:24Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:19:27Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:33Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:52Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't
00:20:00even let you pass the gates.
00:20:02Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:20:05Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:20:08But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:20:12And watching Asford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:18Have fun. Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:27The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to Mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:33So yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:57What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:21:00Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:02It's comfortable.
00:21:03You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:21:05This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:21:07And this is not even your house.
00:21:09And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:21:12Just don't, look, go away.
00:21:14Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:17What do you guys call it? Um, buzz kill? Cock block.
00:21:23You're insufferable.
00:21:24You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:26You know what? I don't get it. Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:29I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:31Why do you think?
00:21:38Where would I go?
00:21:40I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:44Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian.
00:21:49Or Tiziana, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:53Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on Earth.
00:21:59Next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:06The final stop, Paris, the ultimate city of romance.
00:22:11And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:19That's word for word.
00:22:21I told you. I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:22:25Okay, but still, it's Europe. Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:28Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris. Twice.
00:22:33Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:35Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:37Standard rooms in five-star hotels. No thank you.
00:22:42Wow. Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:45That's unfortunate. It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:47One word of advice? Shut up.
00:22:49That's two words.
00:22:52You're weird.
00:22:53You're loud.
00:22:54You're annoying.
00:22:54You're in my kitchen.
00:22:55You have three other kitchens.
00:22:57And I prefer this one. Just for today.
00:23:00Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:23:02Come back with normal clothes on.
00:23:03You didn't have to come.
00:23:04Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:15Master Charles. Roads are flooded. Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:18Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:23I've got it sorted.
00:23:40I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:42What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:48You'll survive.
00:23:50I'm not selling my body.
00:23:56I'm not selling my body.
00:24:02Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:24:06That thought disgusts me.
00:24:08Then what are you doing?
00:24:09The staff's off tonight.
00:24:11I'm buying dinner.
00:24:12No.
00:24:15Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:24:18No, I-
00:24:18I- I-
00:24:19Jesus.
00:24:20Wait.
00:24:21You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:25I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:24:28You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:33Are you sure about that?
00:24:36I present to you.
00:24:38Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:41You're welcome.
00:24:43Interesting combo.
00:24:44Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:24:48It's...
00:24:49good.
00:24:56Was that a compliment?
00:24:58Although, I am obliged to inform you.
00:25:01Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:25:03It's American.
00:25:05And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:25:08You should read more.
00:25:10Put it down.
00:25:12I paid for it.
00:25:13You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:25:16To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:25:20It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:25:23You know, if you'd asked for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:25:25I'll make sure of it.
00:25:41Hey Alice, it's fine.
00:25:44You're fine.
00:25:51911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:58911, what's with your emergency?
00:26:00It's my dad.
00:26:01He needs help.

00:45:27Then again, nobody does.
00:45:29Move, please.
00:45:31Hmm. Try begging.
00:45:38You know what? Keep it.
00:45:45Poor thing. So dramatic.
00:45:49Don't.
00:45:50Excuse me?
00:45:51I warned you.
00:45:53Walk away, Serena.
00:46:07Don't.
00:46:15Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:46:19But one pair surprised me.
00:46:21In a good way.
00:46:22Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:46:25Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:46:27She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:46:30Better have it.
00:46:31I couldn't stay. I couldn't wait.
00:46:34I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:46:37Can hang around.
00:46:39Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:46:44Like logic and chaos.
00:46:46Or silence and noise.
00:46:48Different worlds.
00:46:49Different rules.
00:46:52At first glance, they clash.
00:46:55But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:46:58Confused.
00:46:59Confusion.
00:47:00Curiosity.
00:47:01But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:04And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:17And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:21Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:26Miss Keaton.
00:47:29Dramatic as always.
00:47:30Alright.
00:47:31Thank you, Alice.
00:47:33That was...
00:47:34Leah.
00:47:36Are you okay?
00:47:37A reminder.
00:47:38That good literature always stirs something.
00:47:44Hello?
00:47:45Hi, here's Alice Keaton.
00:47:46This is Whitmore Press.
00:47:47We've been following your work.
00:47:49We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:47:51Name your price.
00:47:52We'll make it work.
00:47:53Sorry, what?
00:47:58That's...
00:47:59kind of...
00:48:00insane.
00:48:01Who's behind this?
00:48:02Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:05Can...
00:48:06Can I meet them?
00:48:09I want to.
00:48:10Please.
00:48:12Or at least tell me a name.
00:48:17Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:48:19So their only interest in words, not the person.
00:48:21I'd really like to meet them.
00:48:22Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:48:23They were very good.
00:48:24I think the most generous offer we've ever given in New York City.
00:48:28I see.
00:48:29Congratulations again.
00:48:35You got the interview.
00:48:36It's just an interview.
00:48:37I haven't gotten it yet.
00:48:38Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:48:41That's iconic.
00:48:50You okay?
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:54I'm so excited.
00:49:08It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:09Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:12Good.
00:49:13It's a generous deal.
00:49:15You sure you don't want it to know?
00:49:17No.
00:49:19No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:49:31Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:49:33Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:49:41Your engagement and announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:49:46And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:49:51It's all coming together beautifully.
00:49:56I've lost my appetite.
00:50:01I'll go check on him.
00:50:07What's your problem, Charles?
00:50:13This engagement is not happening.
00:50:16It's not up to you.
00:50:17You know that.
00:50:18Serena, we're not doing this.
00:50:21You've changed.
00:50:25Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:50:42...
00:50:51...
00:50:55Tarles, you're the sponsor. You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:03So?
00:51:04You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:07I protected her.
00:51:11You loved her.
00:51:13Still do.
00:51:15Let it go, Serena.
00:51:18There's no point.
00:51:28I need a favour. Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:33And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:40Anything? No?
00:51:43She's not answering. The interview's almost over.
00:51:46Well, she won't just not show up. Something's wrong.
00:51:50Where's Alice?
00:51:52When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:54Last night. She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:01James, track someone for me.
00:52:04Wait, where are you going?
00:52:13Chill, okay?
00:52:15We won't hurt you.
00:52:16Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you awake from the interview. That's it.
00:52:28Shit!
00:52:28Come back!
00:53:01Didn't need a second guess.
00:53:07Hey, hey, hey, Alice. Alice?
00:53:10Alice, hey, hey, hey. Stay with me. Stay with me. Stay with me, Alice.
00:53:13Alice!
00:53:20You're awake.
00:53:22Where... where am I?
00:53:24A local clinic. Passer-by brought you in.
00:53:27Passer-by?
00:53:29He found you on the side of the road. He had to leave. He didn't leave a name.
00:53:34Oh.
00:53:37The interview! What time is it?
00:53:39Easy. It's okay.
00:53:41Someone already contacted the university.
00:53:43And sent in your writing samples.
00:53:45They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:53:47Wait, what? Who?
00:53:48No idea. But it's all taken care of.
00:53:54What did you say?
00:53:55Nothing. I just... had a dream.
00:54:07Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:10Did you...
00:54:11I got him!
00:54:12Oh, I knew it!
00:54:18Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:54:21He's not here.
00:54:22Oh, you... didn't know?
00:54:25Know what?
00:54:26He left.
00:54:28A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:32Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him.
00:54:34It's probably for the best. Come on.
00:54:41Alice?
00:54:45The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud.
00:54:50Chaotic.
00:54:51Unexpected.
00:54:54And with his absence...
00:54:56Come on!
00:54:57It ended quietly.
00:55:01Like summer's always do.
00:55:05Did you feel it from across the room?
00:55:09Did you feel a little enchanted?
00:55:16And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:55:23Thank you for having me.
00:55:24Now, your words moved millions.
00:55:27They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
00:55:33Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:55:35How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:37No comment.
00:55:38A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not even a single
00:55:45date.
00:55:45Let me guess, a bird named Sherry.
00:55:46She caught me.
00:55:47Still no comment.
00:55:49All right, all right.
00:55:50No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:55:56If you're so real.
00:55:57Because once, I did.
00:55:59That's why today we're hearing Sherry's story behind Alice Keaton's love.
00:56:03And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:56:05And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:56:19Congratulations, Alice.
00:56:21The numbers just came in.
00:56:22You broke your own record.
00:56:25That's incredible.
00:56:27We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:56:31Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:56:35I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:56:39My sponsor.
00:56:41You're sure?
00:56:42Yeah.
00:56:43Just once.
00:56:45Tonight, 7pm.
00:56:57Good evening.
00:57:02Good evening.
00:57:06May I sit?
00:57:11Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:57:16Hi.
00:57:17Hi.
00:57:20You look well.
00:57:23And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:57:27You always did.
00:57:29You were expecting someone else.
00:57:32I was hoping, but I guess I always knew.
00:57:38I didn't come here to confuse you.
00:57:41Or to reopen anything.
00:57:44I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:57:48Oh.
00:57:49Thanks for keeping me so much.
00:57:52Didn't know you're still reading.
00:57:54You were rich enough not to do so.
00:57:57Always.
00:57:58Either way, your sponsorship started my career.
00:58:02So...
00:58:03No.
00:58:04No, you've...
00:58:04You earned everything.
00:58:08Every word.
00:58:10Every page.
00:58:13Every reader.
00:58:15That's what I came to say.
00:58:20It was good to see you again.
00:58:22I hope.
00:58:23Charles.
00:58:25Can you just...
00:58:27Wait a little longer?
00:58:36I think I knew it was you.
00:58:39There was one email.
00:58:41You said something.
00:58:43Felt familiar.
00:58:44Really?
00:58:45Kind of had that rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:58:49Very on brand.
00:58:51I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:58:53Too late.
00:58:54Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:58:56Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:58:59Still the only guy I know who uses wild sound ironically.
00:59:05You've changed.
00:59:08But...
00:59:09Not really.
00:59:12You haven't changed.
00:59:14But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:59:19Anyway.
00:59:20I wanted to say...
00:59:25And...
00:59:26Thanks for being here tonight.
00:59:28You didn't have to come.
00:59:30Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:32I do.
00:59:35You didn't have to come.
00:59:37Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:59If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
01:00:05Don't tell me.
01:00:10No.
01:00:16No.
01:00:17No.
01:00:20I see.
01:00:25I know my answer now.
01:00:26I didn't have the power back then.
01:00:28Not enough to protect you.
01:00:30I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
01:00:34Because of my name.
01:00:35My family.
01:00:38I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:00:41So you just disappeared.
01:00:43Without a word.
01:00:47If you had the chance to see the world without me weighing you down.
01:00:51If you still chose me after that.
01:00:57You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice.
01:01:01But you made a choice for me.
01:01:05Did it ever cross your mind that maybe I would have chosen you anyway?
01:01:17I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:01:20You weren't.
01:01:23But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:01:34This is me.
01:01:35Right.
01:01:43I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:01:47I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:01:57Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:01You're asking your ex, who you haven't seen in four years,
01:02:06to come into your hotel at approximately 11 p.m.
01:02:10You were right.
01:02:12You never were that smart.
01:02:14You don't have to come.
01:02:16Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:02:19It's almost like you see.
01:02:23Last thing's better.
01:02:33Stop quoting yourself.
01:02:34I recycle.
01:02:35It saves energy.
01:02:37This feels wildly irresponsible.
01:02:40You sound like a disclaimer.
01:02:41You're the one who wants called romance a distraction.
01:02:44I said that?
01:02:45Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:02:48Still is.
01:02:50You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:02:52You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:02:54You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:02:55That is cute to me.
01:02:57Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:02:59What's it going, Sarah?
01:03:00I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:03:03Then shut up.
01:03:04And prove it.
01:03:12I still can't believe this is happening.
01:03:14I told you they're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:03:17And I told you they're both.
01:03:45I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:03:48Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:03:51Then I lie.
01:03:53Respectfully.
01:03:55I vow to keep choosing you.
01:03:58Loudly.
01:03:59Quietly.
01:04:01Always.
01:04:03Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:04:15I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:04:17Especially over Shakespeare.
01:04:20I vow to write you into every story.
01:04:22Even when I say I didn't.
01:04:24You will always be part of my life.
01:04:28If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:04:30No, you're not.
01:04:31You're going to cry harder.
01:04:33I vow to be part of my life.
01:05:02I vow to be part of my life.
01:05:02your phone. Relax. Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine. You
01:05:10are not wearing that on our honeymoon. Please, Alice, go change. Don't tell me what I have
01:05:16to do. No. No, no, no, no. That is not an invitation. Do not take off these clothes.
01:05:27Overruled. You look much better without them.
01:05:35To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:05:45Sometimes I want to be on my own. But I don't want to die alone.
01:05:51Cut.
01:06:16It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:06:22Help us develop, learn, and grow.
01:06:25It's up to us.
01:06:28Wow!
01:06:28That's great.
