00:03:21like a mutual decision and second I think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you

00:07:18Alice Keaton you've been through hell actually no this is hell good morning
00:07:46Alice Keaton what thing doesn't know that stops been closed for months she's going to be late
00:07:59okay how long is this thing gonna take maybe I'll just walk five miles to school
00:08:07okay if I sprint maybe I'll make it before first period or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:20what what are you doing here didn't you already leave
00:08:26wait did you come back for me relax I forgot my textbook don't flatter yourself wait
00:08:39since you're already here maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride
00:08:48no seriously your car is huge yeah and I'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who forced me
00:08:58to live in
00:08:59his house unbelievable
00:09:13Ashford Institute please thank you
00:09:20who needs an entitled brat anyway sir you called the cab why not just give miss Keaton a lift
00:09:32why not just give miss Keaton a lift and have the whole school go crazy she's new everybody's
00:09:38already talking so you're worried about her you're overthinking I just don't like drama
00:09:51asshole hey morning class back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:04Mr Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing
00:10:08not particularly oh I insist you seem very entertained by Golding
00:10:14I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary I think his ending is weak
00:10:22wait wait do I actually read it quiet
00:10:28that's an interesting take explain
00:10:32he had the set up for something brutal something honest in the end he backed out he could have left
00:10:39the boys on the island force them to confront the collapse of all morality let them choose survival
00:10:45or death but instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:56it's a waste don't you think I'm delightfully surprised Charles didn't think you had such strong
00:11:02literary opinions I'm always a model student sir let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:09so a critique of Golding's mercy anyone disagree
00:11:29I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way it's not mercy it's irony
00:11:35how so
00:11:38the rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:44Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:48that's an interesting take Miss Keeter you still think it's a harsh critique
00:11:53in some ways but not harsh enough yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding
00:12:02sympathize with them and the civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:07so yeah I don't think Golding pushed far enough but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:16thank you Miss Keeter well said anyone else
00:12:23both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic Golding faced major backlash when he first published
00:12:30the book good literature will always divide what's happening to me
00:12:43okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me well you're new and apparently had a thing
00:12:49with Charles oh what now you two are in the middle of this epic feud as your teen in years
00:12:56we're not
00:12:56even fighting well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected
00:13:01begged to sit next to him got rejected again and today in class you broke down crying about not
00:13:08believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears you were there Sherry that is not what happened
00:13:17doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want Charles to be flawless
00:13:23untouchable wow is massage any like a rich kid thing or is a British specialty honestly both but
00:13:31seriously Alice some people already see you as a threat okay loaded it's like the new girls in for a
00:13:46rough
00:13:47first semester hello hello is somebody out there
00:14:08oh come on fine
00:14:24fine
00:14:38seriously
00:14:42oh shit

00:14:51Anne I thought you were having dinner with Alice
00:14:52she hasn't come home her phone is off maybe you've seen her this evening
00:15:00yikes looks like the new girls in for a rough first semester
00:15:09shit
00:15:14Alice
00:15:15Alice
00:15:16Mr Pelton Charles Kenwood here I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton
00:15:21she hasn't come home she hasn't come home I'll have it sent over check the common room in the library
00:15:26I'll take the rest
00:15:30Alice
00:15:44come on Alice close your eyes and jump it's fine you're fine
00:16:00you're fine
00:16:02Alice
00:16:04yeah
00:16:14hey mr nonce?
00:16:19Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:25What? What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:40You're welcome.
00:16:42I didn't say thank you.
00:16:44I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:16:47Someone 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.
00:16:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:16:59I wouldn't recommend it. You're heavier than you look.
00:17:04I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:11Are you okay?
00:17:12No.
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. I can handle it.
00:17:22You shouldn't have to.
00:17:26I'm...
00:17:27Sorry.
00:17:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:42Don't get used to it.
00:17:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:47Alice?
00:17:48Over here.
00:17:49I can't.
00:17:52You okay?
00:17:55Why are you drenched?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:57I just...
00:17:58I took a weird shower.
00:18:00Tap exploded.
00:18:03Come on.
00:18:04Let's get you home.
00:18:15Alice's cheating, right?
00:18:17I heard she staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:43I know how this place works.
00:18:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:50I'll look into it.
00:18:53Charles?
00:18:55Good on you.
00:18:56How many here would speak up?
00:19:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:19:04That's insane.
00:19:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:08Busy protecting their golden boys and trust friends.
00:19:11Well, for what it's worth,
00:19:12I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:17Please.
00:19:17He just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:36Being a scholarship student has its perks,
00:19:39like saving a fortune on tuition
00:19:41and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:46Hey, we miss you in Paris.
00:19:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:52But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:19:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:19:59you can never afford.
00:20:02Have fun.
00:20:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds,
00:20:13which translates to
00:20:14mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:17So, yeah.
00:20:18I didn't go.
00:20:20I didn't go.
00:20:40What are you doing here?
00:20:41Do 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 is not even your kitchen.
00:20:50And this is not even your house.
00:20:52And yet, you're here,
00:20:53dressed like this.
00:20:55Just don't look.
00:20:56Go away.
00:20:57Hard not to.
00:20:58And you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:00What do you guys call it?
00:21:02Um, buzzkill?
00:21:05Cockblock.
00:21:06You're insufferable.
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:09You know what?
00:21:10I don't get it.
00:21:11Why 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?
00:21:21How would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:26Florence.
00:21:27Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Titian.
00:21:32Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing
00:21:40city on earth.
00:21:42The next stop, Napoli, marvel at Pompeii, to pretend you're shocked ancient people
00:21:47had plumbing.
00:21:48The final stop, Harri, the ultimate city of romance.
00:21:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:01That's word for word.
00:22:03I told you, I've done this tour so many times I could run it.
00:22:07Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:22:09Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:22:14Twice.
00:22:16Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels.
00:22:23No, thank you.
00:22:25Wow.
00:22:26Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27That's unfortunate.
00:22:28It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:30One word of advice?
00:22:31Shut up.
00:22:32That's two words.
00:22:35You're weird.
00:22:36You're loud.
00:22:37You're annoying.
00:22:37You're in my kitchen.
00:22:38You have three other kitchens.
00:22:40And I prefer this one.
00:22:42Just for today.
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:46You didn't have to come.
00:22:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:57After Charles, roads are flooded.
00:22:59Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:00Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:05I've got it sorted.
00:23:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:20Relax.
00:23:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:25What deal?
00:23:25You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:31You'll survive.
00:23:33I'm not selling my body.
00:23:38I'm not selling my body.
00:23:44Wow.
00:23:45I am deeply offended.
00:23:48That thought disgusts me.
00:23:50Then what are you doing?
00:23:51The staff's off tonight.
00:23:53I'm buying dinner.
00:23:57Did you seriously think I'd spend 100 pounds on...
00:24:00No, I'm...
00:24:01Jesus.
00:24:03Wait.
00:24:04You think I'm not worth 100 pounds?
00:24:08I'm not spending 100 pounds to snort you back up.
00:24:11You know what?
00:24:11Dinner'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.
00:24:23You're welcome.
00:24:25Interesting combo.
00:24:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:24:31It's good.
00:24:38Was that a compliment?
00:24:40Although, I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:43Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:24:45It's American.
00:24:46And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:49You should read more.
00:24:52Put it down.
00:24:54I paid for it.
00:24:55You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:57To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:25:02It's only easy because it costs 200 pounds.
00:25:05You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:25:07I'll make sure that.
00:25:23Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:25You're fine.
00:25:33You're fine.
00:25:39911, what's for your emergency?
00:25:41It's my dad.
00:25:42He needs help.
00:25:43He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, miss.
00:25:45Hurricane's constant traffic shut down.
00:25:47Get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:50I understand.
00:25:51Can you confirm your address?
00:25:54Daddy, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56Hi.
00:25:58My daughter.
00:26:00Please, stay with me, dad.
00:26:01Please.
00:26:05No.
00:26:08Please, wake up.
00:26:13Dad, please.
00:26:15Please don't leave me.
00:26:18Please.
00:26:47Please, wake up.
00:26:48What are you doing here?
00:26:54You were crying.
00:26:56Loudly.
00:26:58Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right.
00:27:02Sorry for the night.
00:27:04Wait, you know Snarky come back?
00:27:06Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:27:09If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:16A hurricane 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?
00:28:04Come on.
00:28:20Wait, I thought the power was out.
00:28:23It is.
00:28:25We have our own generator.
00:28:26Wow.
00:28:27Rich people houses her.
00:28:29Just for tonight,
00:28:31I'll allow it.
00:28:33Allow what?
00:28:34You can call this place your house.
00:28:37So enjoy it.
00:28:38Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:39Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:42Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:43All yours.
00:28:48This
00:28:49is your home.
00:28:51Alice Keaton.
00:28:57Careful.
00:28:59Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02Okay then.
00:29:05I have
00:29:08one request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait.
00:29:22Give me a second.
00:29:23I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:27And in the middle of a thunderstorm.
00:29:30Inside a literal mansion.
00:29:32You chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Got a problem?
00:29:36It's just so cool.
00:29:37Like 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.
00:29:46Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:48For the tenth time it moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:57Happy.
00:29:58Ecstatic.
00:30:02That's a suicide.
00:30:04Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:06You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
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.
00:30:15Oh my.
00:30:15No.
00:30:16Why?
00:30:16What's wrong with that?
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:19I don't know.
00:30:19Can I do that?
00:30:19I don't know.
00:30:19I don't know.
00:30:20I don't know.
00:30:20I don't know.
00:30:20I don't know.
00:30:21I don't know.
00:30:22I don't know.
00:30:24I don't know.
00:30:25I don't know.
00:30:26I don't know.
00:30:28I don't know.
00:30:41Maybe he's not so awful after all.
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.
00:31:22I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:24They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:28You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:32Engagement.
00:31:34Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:36He's promised.
00:31:38Old money stuff.
00:31:39Very retro.
00:31:40I didn't agree to that.
00:31:41You didn't have to.
00:31:42It's never up to us.
00:31:45Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:48Serena.
00:31:48I didn't hear you, you know.
00:31:49Oh, an American.
00:31:53How refreshing.
00:31:57Goodbye.
00:31:59Wait.
00:32:15Where are you going?
00:32:17You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:19You only paid for dinner.
00:32:21I had homework.
00:32:22Goodbye.
00:32:26Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:32:28Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:30What?
00:32:31Teasing the help?
00:32:38That's her.
00:32:39That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:42Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:59Oh 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?
00:33:06Well, 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.
00:33:41Come to the music room.
00:33:43Urgent.
00:33:44I just remembered, I need to check something.
00:33:47You guys go ahead.
00:33:48Yeah, okay.
00:33:54Hello.
00:33:56Is someone there?
00:33:57Seriously.
00:33:58This is getting old.
00:34:11Wait.
00:34:13Music room?
00:34:14What?
00:34:16James?
00:34:17Is 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.
00:34:38You're fine.
00:34:40You're not that girl again.
00:34:48Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:34:51Okay.
00:34:53Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:54Yeah.
00:34:55Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:57And knights...
00:34:58The knight's the weird one.
00:35:04Rooks.
00:35:05Street lines.
00:35:08Street lines.
00:35:10Diagonally.
00:35:11Hello?
00:35:13Hello?
00:35:31The text.
00:35:33Are you okay?
00:35:35Are you hurt?
00:35:36I...
00:35:36I'm okay.
00:35:38I...
00:35:38I 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...
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.
00:35:49You're freezing.
00:35:50You didn't have to come.
00:35:53Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:35:56Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:36:19That wasn't a mistake.
00:36:20If that's what you're about to say.
00:36:23I...
00:36:24Wasn't going to.
00:36:25I see the smiles.
00:36:29Spreading like a wildfire.
00:36:37I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:36:40What?
00:36:41Kissing?
00:36:41Hiding feelings.
00:36:43I don't like that.
00:36:46I...
00:36:48I...

00:46:19like logic and chaos
00:46:21or silence and noise
00:46:24different worlds different rules
00:46:28at first glance they clash
00:46:30but what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:46:34confusion
00:46:35curiosity
00:46:36but in the end some stories aren't about staying

00:50:01pretending
00:50:28you're the sponsor
00:50:32You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:50:37So?
00:50:38You lied to everyone, including her.
00:50:41I protected her.
00:50:45You loved her.
00:50:47Still do.
00:50:49Let it go, Serena.
00:50:52There's no point.
00:51:02I need a favour.
00:51:04Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:07And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:14Anything? No?
00:51:16She'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, track someone for me.
00:51:38Wait, where are you going?
00:51:47Chill, okay?
00:51:48It won't hurt you.
00:51:50Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:51:53That's it.
00:52:01Shit!
00:52:02Come back!
00:52:03Fuck!
00:52:35Didn't need a second guess
00:52:40Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice?
00:52:43Alice, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me, Alice, Alice!
00:52:53You're awake?
00:52:55Where, where am I?
00:52:57A local clinic. Passer-by brought you in.
00:53:01Passer-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.
00:53:16Anne sent in your writing samples.
00:53:18They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:53:20Wait, what, who?
00:53:21No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:53:27What did you say?
00:53:28Nothing.
00:53:30I just...
00:53:32had a dream.
00:53:43I got in!
00:53:45I knew it!
00:53:49Yeah.
00:53:50Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it.
00:53:53He's not here.
00:53:55Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:58Know what?
00:53:59He left.
00:54:00A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:04Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him.
00:54:06It's probably for the best.
00:54:08Come on.
00:54:09I couldn't stay.
00:54:11I couldn't wait.
00:54:13I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:54:16And hang around.
00:54:18The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud.
00:54:22Chaotic.
00:54:24Unexpected.
00:54:27And with his absence...
00:54:29Come on!
00:54:30It ended quietly.
00:54:34Like summers always do.
00:54:48And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:54:55Thank you for having me.
00:54:57Now, 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.
00:55:07How'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.
00:55:17Let me guess a bird named Sherry.
00:55:19She caught me.
00:55:20Still no comment.
00:55:22Alright, alright.
00:55:23No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:55:29If you're so real.
00:55:30Because once, I did.
00:55:31That's why today we hear Sherry's story behind Alice Keaton's love.
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. The numbers just came in. You broke your own record.
00:55:58That's... incredible.
00:56:00We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:56:04Actually, 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. Just once.
00:56:16Tonight, 7pm.
00:56:29Good evening.
00:56:34Good evening.
00:56:37May I sit?
00:56:48I will.
00:56:48Hi.
00:56:50Hi.
00:56:52You look well?
00:56:56And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover.
00:56:59You always did.
00:57:01you were expecting someone else
00:57:04I was
00:57:06hoping
00:57:08but I guess I always knew
00:57:10I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:12or to reopen anything
00:57:16I 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
00:57:29always

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 don't think I was the smart choice
01:00:51you weren't
01:00:54but

01:04:33Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:39You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:04:43Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:45Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:51No.
01:04:52No, no, no, no, that is not an invitation to-
01:04:55Do not take off these clothes!
01:04:57I'm overruled.
01:04:57You look much better without them.
01:05:02But there's a feeling in my own.
01:05:05To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters,
01:05:10you will find your way home.
01:05:15Sometimes I want to be on my own.
01:05:18But I don't want to die alone.
01:05:21God.
01:05:21God!
01:05:23God!
01:05:25God!
01:05:28God!
01:05:32Oopsie!
01:05:35My king!
01:05:38Okay, okay!
01:05:46It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:05:52Help us develop, learn, and grow.
01:05:55We are going by the moly.
01:06:02Wow, that's time.
