00:02:30important 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
00:02:46personally he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his

00:03:13everyone's tried to get close no one can get past his ego you're not the first to get nice okay
00:03:19first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual decision and second I think he's arrogant cold thinks
00:03:27he's untouchable but if you really look at Charles he just seems isolated like he's making

00:08:52yeah
00:08:54and I'm not a fan of sharing

00:09:32why 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
00:09:41you're overthinking
00:09:43I just don't like drama
00:09:50asshole
00:09:52who
00:09:53morning class
00:09:56back to Golding
00:09:57remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:05Mr. Kenwood
00:10:06care to share what you found so amusing
00:10:09not particularly
00:10:10oh
00:10:11I insist
00:10:12you seem very entertained by Golding
00:10:15I'm not entertained by Golding sir
00:10:18on the contrary
00:10:19I think his ending is
00:10:22weak
00:10:24wait wait
00:10:24you actually read it
00:10:26quiet
00:10:28that's an interesting take
00:10:30explain
00:10:33he had the set up for something brutal
00:10:35something honest
00:10:36in the end
00:10:38he 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
00:10:46but instead he gave them a rescue boat
00:10:49slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:56it's a waste
00:10:57don't you think?
00:10:59I'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
00:11:10a critique of Golding's mercy
00:11:13anyone disagree?
00:11:29I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:11:33it's not mercy it's irony
00:11:35how so?
00:11:39the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:11:41you don't just walk back into society 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
00:11:49that's an interesting take Miss Keaton
00:11:51you still think it's a harsh critique?
00:11:53in some ways
00:11:54but 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
00:12:17thank you Miss Keaton
00:12:18well said
00:12:19anyone else?
00:12:23both opinions are valid
00:12:25okay that's kind of epic
00:12:27and let's not forget
00:12:27Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:12:30good literature will always divide opinions
00:12:36what's happening to me?
00:12:43okay what is going on? why is everyone staring at me?
00:12:47well you're new
00:12:48and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:12:50a what now?
00:12:52you two are in the middle of the most epic feud I should have seen in years
00:12:56we're not even fighting
00:12:57well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one
00:13:00got rejected
00:13:01begged to sit next to him
00:13:03got rejected again
00:13:05and today in class you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:13:09and stormed out in tears
00:13:13you were there Sherry that is not what happened
00:13:17doesn't matter
00:13:18people believe what they want to believe
00:13:20and they want Charles to be flawless
00:13:23untouchable
00:13:24wow
00:13:25is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:13:29honestly both
00:13:31but seriously Alice
00:13:32some people already see you as a threat
00:13:42okay
00:13:42okay
00:13:43loaded
00:13:45looks like the new girl is in for a rough first semester
00:14:02hello?
00:14:04hello?
00:14:06is somebody out there?
00:14:09oh come on!
00:14:18no
00:14:22no
00:14:23gay
00:14:34What's going on?
00:14:38Seriously?
00:14:42Shit.
00:14:47What the hell?
00:14:50Anne, I thought you were having dinner with Alice?
00:14:53She hasn't come home. Her phone is off. Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:00Yikes. Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:09Shit.
00:15:14Alice! Alice!
00:15:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here.
00:15:19I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:15:21She hasn't come home.
00:15:23I'll have it sent over.
00:15:25Check the common room in the library. I'll take the rest.
00:15:30Alice!
00:15:44Come on, Alice.
00:15:47Close your eyes and jump.
00:15:49It's fine.
00:15:50We're fine.
00:15:52We're fine.
00:15:59We'll be fine.
00:16:16Eraser...
00:16:19How could he do this?
00:16:25What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:41You're welcome.
00:16:43I didn't say thank you.
00:16:45I figured saving your life might turn me basic manners.
00:16:47Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:50Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:52You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:54Wow.
00:16:56You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:00I wouldn't recommend it.
00:17:01You're heavier than you look.
00:17:04I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:11Are you okay?
00:17:13No.
00:17:14But I will be.
00:17:16Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:18What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:21Don't worry.
00:17:22I can handle it.
00:17:22You shouldn't have to.
00:17:27I'm sorry.
00:17:34Sorry.
00:17:40Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:43Don't get used to it.
00:17:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:47Alice?
00:17:48Over here.
00:17:50Oh my god.
00:17:52Are you okay?
00:17:55Why are you drenched?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58I just...
00:17:58I took a weird shower.
00:18:00Top exploded.
00:18:03Come on.
00:18:04Let's get your hands.
00:18:15I just cheated, right?
00:18:18I heard you staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:44I 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.
00:18:55Charles, good on you. How many here would speak up?
00:19:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in. That's insane.
00:19:06Where 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.
00:19:36Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't
00:19:44even let you pass the gates.
00:19:46Hey, we miss you in Paris!
00:19:49Are there enough Americans to remind us of you?
00:19:52But sometimes, being here means standing behind. And watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can
00:20:00never afford.
00:20:02Have fun. Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:11The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:17So, yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:40Uh, what 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.
00:20:49This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:51And this is not even your house. And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:55Just don't look, go away.
00:20:57Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:01What do you guys call it? Um, buzzkill? Cockblock.
00:21:06You're insufferable.
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:09You know what? I don't get it. Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:15Why do you think?
00:21:21Where would I go?
00:21:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:26Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Titian.
00:21:32Or Titiano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:37Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:21:42Next stop, Napoli. Marvel at Pompeii. Pretend you're shocked ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:49The final stop, Harry. The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:02That's... word for word.
00:22:04I told you. I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:22:08Okay, 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?
00:22:28Well, 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. You're loud. You're annoying.
00:22:38You're in my kitchen. You have three other kitchens.
00:22:40And I prefer this one. Just 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.
00:22:58Master Charles, roads are flooded.
00:22:59Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:01Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:06I've got it sorted.
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.
00:23:42Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:23:48That thought disgusts me.
00:23:50Then what are you doing?
00:23:52The staff's off tonight.
00:23:53I'm buying dinner.
00:23:57Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:24:00No, I- I- I-
00:24:01Jesus.
00:24:03Wait.
00:24:04You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:08I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up.
00:24:11You know what?
00:24:12Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:15Are you sure about that?
00:24:18I present to you.
00:24:20Meatball spaghetti, stir fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:24You're welcome.
00:24:25Interesting combo.
00:24:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:24:31It's...
00:24:32Good.
00:24:38Was 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.
00:24:47And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:50You 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?
00:24:58To be fair.
00:24:59You make it very easy.
00:25:02It's only easy because it costs you a hundred pounds.
00:25:05You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would've given it to you.
00:25:07I'll make sure of that.
00:25:23Hey Alice, it's fine.
00:25:26You're fine.
00:25:33911, what's for your emergency?
00:25:40911, what's for your emergency?
00:25:42It's my dad.
00:25:42He needs help.
00:25:43He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, miss.
00:25:45Hurricane constant traffic shut down.
00:25:47We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:49I understand.
00:25:51Can you confirm your address?
00:25:54Yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56Hi.
00:25:58My daughter.
00:26:00Please stay with me, dad.
00:26:01Please.
00:26:06No.
00:26:08Please wake up.
00:26:13Dad, please.
00:26:15Please don't leave me.
00:26:16I'm sorry.
00:26:48You... what are you doing here?
00:26:54You were crying. Loudly. Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:01Right. Sorry for the noise.
00:27:04Wait. You know Snarky come back?
00:27:07Not tonight. I'm too tired. If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling from your dad, right?
00:27:17Hurricane hit New York. Power went down. Traffic froze.
00:27:22Dad had a stroke. But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:28I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:35Peaceful. Like he was asleep.
00:27:39But he wasn't.
00:27:44So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:47This used to be our hometown.
00:27:50After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:59What are you doing?
00:28:05Come on.
00:28:21Wait. I thought the peril was out.
00:28:24It is. We have our own generator.
00:28:27Wow. Rich 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. So enjoy it.
00:28:38Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:40Alan Gisbo's handwritten letters.
00:28:42Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:44All yours.
00:28:49This is your home, Alice 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.
00:29:12What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait. Give me a second. I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:28And in the middle of a thunderstorm, inside a literal mansion, you chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah. Got a problem?
00:29:36It's just so cool, like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:41It's literally a board game.
00:29:42Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:45Wait. Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:47For the tenth time, it moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:58Happy?
00:29:59Ecstatic.
00:30:02You know, that's suicide.
00:30:04Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:30:06You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:30:08Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:09You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:11Golding disagrees.
00:30:13It's going to be a long night.
00:30:14Oh my, no.
00:30:16Why? What's wrong with that?
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:18You can't do that.
00:30:19No, no, no.
00:30:20Oh my god.
00:30:41Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:44No, no, no.
00:30:51Um, who are you?
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:59Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:01Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:03Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:06When did you get back?
00:31:07Last night.
00:31:08From Zurich.
00:31:09You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:12I missed you.
00:31:14Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:17Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:19Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:21They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:23I 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.
00:31:32Engagement.
00:31:40I didn't agree to that.
00:31:41You didn't have to.
00:31:43It's never up to us.
00:31:45Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:48Serena.
00:31:48I can hear you, you know.
00:31:50Oh.
00:31:51An American.
00:31:52How refreshing.
00:31:58Goodbye.
00:31:59Wait.
00:32:16Where are you going?
00:32:17You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:19You only paid for dinner.
00:32:21I had homework.
00:32:23Goodbye.
00:32:26Your little toy has quite the 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?
00:32:59Oh 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?
00:33:07Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:10Of course she did.
00:33:24Careful, Alice.
00:33:25You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:29Careful, Alice.
00:33:38You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:38Yeah.
00:33:39Can you help me?
00:33:411066.
00:33:41Yeah.
00:33:42Come to the music room.
00:33:43Urgent.
00:33:45I just remembered.
00:33:46I need to check something.
00:33:47You guys go ahead.
00:33:48Yeah.
00:33:48Okay.
00:33:55Hello.
00:33:56Is someone there?
00:33:57Seriously.
00:33:59This is getting old.
00:34:11Wait.
00:34:13Music room.
00:34:14What?
00:34:16James?
00:34:18Is anybody in here earlier?
00:34:19Just Miss Serena.
00:34:20Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:23Sir?
00:34:25Sir, it's raining.
00:34:37Come on, Alice.
00:34:38Come on, Alice.
00:34:38You're fine.
00:34:40You're not that girl again.
00:34:42No.
00:34:46No.
00:34:48No.
00:34:49Wait.
00:34:49Can you remind me one more time?
00:34:51Okay.
00:34:53Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:54Yeah.
00:34:54Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:57And knights...
00:34:58The knights the weird one.
00:35:04Rooks.
00:35:06Straight lines.
00:35:08Bishops.
00:35:10Diagonally.
00:35:12Hello?
00:35:13Hello?
00:35:32The text.
00:35:33Are you okay?
00:35:35Are you hurt?
00:35:36I...
00:35:37I'm okay.
00:35:38I...
00:35:39I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:40I...
00:35:40I didn't see the message.
00:35:42Serena took my phone.
00:35:43I didn't know.
00:35:44I'm sorry.
00:35:45I'm...
00:35:46Okay.
00:35:48You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:50You're freezing.
00:35:50You didn't have to come.
00:35:54Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:19That wasn't a mistake.
00:36:21If that's what you're about to say.
00:36:23I...
00:36:24Wasn't going to.
00:36:37I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:36:40What?
00:36:41Kissing?
00:36:42Hiding feelings.
00:36:43I don't know.
00:36:44I don't know.
00:36:45I don't know.
00:37:11I like that.
00:37:13You kissed me. That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:24Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:37:37You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays. The list is on the board.
00:37:43One, two, three, four.
00:37:48Are you okay?
00:38:09You're distracting.
00:38:18You're welcome.
00:38:23They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:26Honestly, both.
00:38:49The night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:52Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:55Because it's weird. And I like weird.
00:39:06Check.
00:39:12You're cheating.
00:39:14I'm winning.
00:39:15There's a difference.
00:39:16You are very distracting.
00:39:18And you like it.
00:39:29Charles.
00:39:31We need to talk.
00:39:40I expected poor judgment.
00:39:43But this in my house?
00:39:45It isn't what it looks like.
00:39:46No.
00:39:48Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:51Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:53We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:55Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:40:00She isn't just...
00:40:01You have no right to barge in.
00:40:03On my property.
00:40:08I care about her.
00:40:09I'm not ashamed of her.
00:40:11That's enough.
00:40:14Why do you care?
00:40:15We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:18And our name.
00:40:20You think this protects me?
00:40:22We think she does not belong in your world.
00:40:28Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:32You're ready to give up everything?
00:40:34For a girl you barely know?
00:40:38Yes.
00:40:39Then, are you sure she's ready?
00:40:49I'm asking you.
00:40:50Do you think she's ready?
00:40:52To lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:40:57What are you talking about?
00:40:58You left us no choice, son.
00:41:00You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:04Pelton.
00:41:06It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:07Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:41:09How can I help?
00:41:10If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioral code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant
00:41:18a review?
00:41:20Yes, sir.
00:41:24So.
00:41:25Answer me again.
00:41:27Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:41:41Charles.
00:41:42What happened?
00:41:43Did your parents say something?
00:41:44Are they mad?
00:41:45Is everything okay?
00:41:47Pack your things.
00:41:49You can't stay here anymore.
00:41:51What?
00:41:52What?
00:41:53My parents fired your mother.
00:41:55She's leaving.
00:41:57So are you.
00:41:57Wait.
00:41:58What?
00:41:58Why?
00:41:59Is it because of us?
00:42:01We can fix this.
00:42:01I'll get a job, anything.
00:42:02Stop.
00:42:03Stop it.
00:42:03You don't get it.
00:42:05If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:08Okay?
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.
00:42:17We don't need all that.
00:42:18We 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.
00:42:30What did they promise you?
00:42:35Nothing.
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.
00:42:50What did they threaten you with?
00:42:56What did they threaten you with?
00:42:58This is the difference between me and you.
00:43:00What?
00:43:01You think you know me.
00:43:03Or what I have.
00:43:04You don't, Alice.
00:43:07You're still lying.
00:43:08I'm not, Alice.
00:43:10Look around you.
00:43:11This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:14It's my house.
00:43:16My world.
00:43:18I was bored into this.
00:43:20I am not choosing between this...
00:43:25...and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:30Don't do this, Charles.
00:43:32You don't mean it.
00:43:33Well, it was fine.
00:43:35But you?
00:43:37You don't compare to what I own.
00:43:41I'll survive the loss.
00:43:45Right.
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.
00:44:12No.
00:44:18I don't know the same thing, but I don't care.
00:44:30I'm not...
00:44:30But I find that's the place to test myself
00:44:42Oops
00:45:00Oh sorry, didn't see that
00:45:03Then again, nobody does
00:45:05Move please
00:45:06Try begging
00:45:14You know what, keep it
00:45:21Poor thing, so dramatic
00:45:24Don't
00:45:26Excuse me
00:45:27I warned you
00:45:29Walk away, Serena
00:45:50Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:45:54But one pair surprised me
00:45:56In a good way
00:45:58Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton
00:46:01Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:46:04If she loves the sound of her own voice, better have it
00:46:06I couldn't stay
00:46:07I couldn't wait
00:46:09I thought that you should know that I would have
00:46:14Can hang around
00:46:15Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:46:19Like logic and chaos
00:46:21Or silence and noise
00:46:23Different worlds, different rules
00:46:28At first glance, they clash
00:46:30But what makes the story interesting
00:46:33But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:46:34Confusion
00:46:35Curiosity
00:46:37But in the end, some stories aren't about staying
00:46:40And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:52And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:56Is she still talking about the essay?
00:46:59Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:01Miss Keaton
00:47:04Dramatic as always
00:47:05Alright
00:47:06Thank you Alice
00:47:07That was
00:47:08Layered
00:47:11Are you okay?
00:47:12A reminder
00:47:12That good literature
00:47:14Always stirs something
00:47:19Hello?
00:47:20Hi, here's Alice Keaton
00:47:21This 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
00:47:27We'll make it work
00:47:28Sorry, what?
00:47:29What?
00:47:34That's...
00:47:34Kind of...
00:47:35Insane
00:47:36Who's behind this?
00:47:37Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:47:40Can...
00:47:41Can I meet them?
00:47:44I want to
00:47:45Please
00:47:47Or at least tell me a name
00:47:52Sorry, they wish to stay in office
00:47:53Since they're only interested in work, not the person
00:47:56I'd really like to meet them
00:47:57Oh, I'm sorry for taking this
00:47:58They were very good
00:47:59I think the most jealous one we've ever given an interview I said
00:48:03I see
00:48:04Congratulations again
00:48:09You got the interview!
00:48:11It's just an interview, I haven't gotten it yet
00:48:13Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:48:15That's iconic
00:48:25You okay?
00:48:27Yeah
00:48:29I'm so excited
00:48:30I'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
00:48:50You sure you don't want it to know?
00:48:52No
00:48:54No
00:48:54No
00:48:54It's better if I stay out of her life
00:48:57No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:49:06Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:49:08Go live the life you were always meant to
00:49:15Thank you
00:49:16Your engagement announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:49:21And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:49:26It's all coming together beautifully
00:49:31I've lost my appetite
00:49:32I've lost my appetite
00:49:36I'll go check on him
00:49:42What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:48Disengagement
00:49:48Disengagement
00:49:49Is not happening
00:49:50It's not up to you
00:49:51You know that
00:49:52Serena, we're not doing this
00:49:55You've changed
00:49:59Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:50:02Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:50:31You're the sponsor
00:50:32You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time
00:50:37So?
00:50:38You lied to everyone
00:50:40Including her
00:50:41I protected her
00:50:45You loved her
00:50:46Still do
00:50:49Let it go, Serena
00:50:53There's no point
00:50:54Let it go, Serena
00:51:02I need a favour
00:51:04Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:51:07And make sure Alice Keaton
00:51:09Won't show up
00:51:14Anything?
00:51:15No?
00:51:17She's not answering
00:51:18The interview's almost over
00:51:20Well, 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
00:51:34James
00:51:35Track someone for me
00:51:38Wait, where are you going?
00:51:47Chill, okay?
00:51:48Who won't hurt you?
00:51:50Yeah, we're just supposed to
00:51:52Keep you away from the interview
00:51:53That's it
00:52:01Shit!
00:52:02Come back!
00:52:04Shit!
00:52:05Come back!
00:52:12Hello?
00:52:41Hey, hey, hey, Alice!
00:52:42Alice!
00:52:43Alice!
00:52:44Alex, stay with me. Stay with me. Stay with me, Alex.
00:52:46Alex!
00:52:53You're awake?
00:52:55Where... where am I?
00:52:57A local clinic. Pass-her-by brought you in.
00:53:01Pass-her-by?
00:53:02He found you on the side of the road.
00:53:04He had to leave. He didn't leave a name.
00:53:08Oh.
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.
00:53:31I just...
00:53:32had a dream.
00:53:43I got him!
00:53:48Oh, I knew it!
00:53:50Oh, too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:53:54He's not here.
00:53:55Oh, you... didn't know?
00:53:58Know what?
00:53:59He left.
00:54:01A few days ago, yeah.
00:54:02Everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:05Honestly, Astrid's been quieter without him.
00:54:07It's probably for the best.
00:54:08Come on.
00:54:09Come on.
00:54:10I couldn't stay.
00:54:11I couldn't wait.
00:54:13I thought that you should know when I would have to hang around.
00:54:18The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud.
00:54:23Chaotic.
00:54:24Unexpected.
00:54:27And with his absence...
00:54:29Come on!
00:54:49And joining us today, the Dake's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:54:55Thank you for having me.
00:54:57No, your words moved millions.
00:54:59They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
00:55:05Which brings us to the most obvious question.
00:55:08How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:10No comment.
00:55:11A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not even a single
00:55:17date.
00:55:18Let me guess, a bird named Sherry.
00:55:19She caught me.
00:55:20Still no comment.
00:55:22All right, all right.
00:55:23No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:55:28It feels so real.
00:55:30Because once, I did.
00:55:31That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's book.
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.
00:55:58That's incredible.
00:56:00We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:56:03Actually, there's something I'd rather do.
00:56:08I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first.
00:56:12My sponsor.
00:56:14You're sure?
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16Just once.
00:56:17Tonight, 7pm.
00:56:29Good evening.
00:56:34Good evening.
00:56:38May I sit?
00:56:43Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:56:48Hi.
00:56:50Hi.
00:56:53You look well.
00:56:56And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:56:59You always did.
00:57:02You were expecting someone else.
00:57:04I was hoping, but I guess I always knew.
00:57:11I didn't come here to confuse you, or to reopen anything.
00:57:17I just wanted to say congratulations.
00:57:20Oh, thank you.
00:57:24I didn't know you were still reading.
00:57:26You were rich enough not to do so.
00:57:30Always.
00:57:31Either way, your sponsorship started my career, so...
00:57:35No.
00:57:36No, you earned everything.
00:57:41Every word.
00:57:43Every page.
00:57:46Every reader.
00:57:47That's what I came to say.
00:57:53It was good to see you again, I hope.
00:57:55Charles.
00:57:57Can you just...
00:58:00Wait a little longer.
00:58:08I think I knew it was you.
00:58:11There was one email.
00:58:13You said something.
00:58:15It felt familiar.
00:58:17Really?
00:58:17Kind of 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.
00:58:28Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:58:31Still the only God I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:58:38You've changed.
00:58:40But...
00:58:41Not really.
00:58:44You haven't changed.
00:58:46But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:58:51Anyway.
00:58:52I wanted to say...
00:58:58And...
00:58:58Thanks for being here tonight.
00:59:00You didn't have to come.
00:59:03Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:07You didn't have to come.
00:59:10Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:32If you could go back,
00:59:33if you had the chance to do it all again,
00:59:36would you do anything differently?
00:59:42No.
00:59:47No.
00:59:52I see.
00:59:56I know my answer now.
00:59:58I 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.
01:00:13So you just disappeared.
01:00:14Without 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...
01:00:41I would have chosen you anyway?
01:00:48I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:00:51You weren't.
01:00:54But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:01:05This is me.
01:01:06Right.
01:01:14I'm still mad at you, you know.
01:01:18I'm still in love with you, you know.
01:01:28Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:32You're asking your ex,
01:01:34who you haven't seen in four years,
01:01:37to come into your hotel
01:01:38at approximately 11pm.
01:01:42You were right.
01:01:43You never were that smart.
01:01:45You don't have to come.
01:01:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:01:49It's almost like you say
01:01:53Last thing is better than gold.
01:02:03Stop quoting yourself.
01:02:05I recycle.
01:02:05It 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.
01:02:16Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated.
01:02:19Still is.
01:02:20You're lucky you're a good kisser.
01:02:26That is cute to me.
01:02:27Don't you dare quote poetry.
01:02:29I wasn't going to.
01:02:31I forgot all of it the day you left.
01:02:33Then shut up.
01:02:35And prove it.
01:02:42I still can't believe this is happening.
01:02:44I told you.
01:02:45They're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:02:47And I told you.
01:02:48They're both.
01:03:15I vow to always tell you the truth.
01:03:18Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:03:21Then I lie.
01:03:23Respectfully.
01:03:25I vow to keep choosing you.
01:03:28I vow to keep choosing you.
01:03:28Loudly.
01:03:30Quietly.
01:03:45I vow to keep choosing you.
01:03:46I vow to argue with you at least twice a week.
01:03:47especially other Shakespeare.
01:03:50I vow to write you in every story.
01:03:53Even when I say I didn't.
01:03:55You will always be part of my life.
01:03:58If she quotes Austen in this toast.
01:04:00I'm out.
01:04:01No you're not.
01:04:01You're going to cry harder.
01:04:03I vow to keep choosing you.
01:04:04I vow to keep choosing you.
01:04:04For the rest of life.
01:04:07I vow to keep choosing you.
01:04:11I vow to be proud of you.
01:04:25Can't believe you picked Paris such a cliche honeymoon destination
01:04:31Guard your phone relax. Just don't dress like a walking inheritance
01:04:36You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:04:43Please Alex go change don't tell me what I have to do
01:04:51No, no, no, no, that is not an invitation to do not take off these clothes
01:04:56I'm a reward. You look much better about them
01:05:05To the ones who loved in silence in chaos and chapters you will find your way home
01:05:17I'll be on my own
01:05:19But I don't wanna die alone
01:05:21Oh
01:05:23Really?
