00:00:02I've always described the world in words.
00:00:06People, moments, places.
00:00:08But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful. We're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's cool.
00:00:16I don't find bullies attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:19He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Breathe the room before opening your mouth.
00:00:24American.
00:00:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:00:29There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:00:30I'm not staying here.
00:00:32You must stay.
00:00:35I heard you stay to the whole thing for attention.
00:00:39Charles, we need to talk.
00:00:41If you don't do anything about it,
00:00:44it's only going to get worse.
00:00:46You're lying to everyone, including her.
00:00:50You didn't have to come.
00:00:52Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:01:03I've always described the world in words.
00:01:06People, moments, places.
00:01:09All through metaphors and margins.
00:01:12You okay?
00:01:13Like my mom.
00:01:15Self-made, stubborn, and never wrong.
00:01:19Almost there.
00:01:20You excited for your first day?
00:01:21She calls this a fresh start.
00:01:22I call it terrifying.
00:01:31You've got this.
00:01:32Just be yourself.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:43I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Got a lazy runnin' through my brain every day.
00:01:52Heaven in my dead now.
00:01:55You're not staying.
00:01:56You okay?
00:01:57You okay?
00:01:57I wanna stay good anyway.
00:02:00I wanna stay good anyway.
00:02:03Okay.
00:02:05Morning, class.
00:02:08And you're not seated because...
00:02:11I don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah!
00:02:15A new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:22there's a spot next to Charles
00:02:26seriously a charity case sitting next to Charles
00:02:29God why she
00:02:31quiet Charles
00:02:36I've always had words for everything
00:02:39but in that moment
00:02:43I forgot them all
00:02:53Charles move your things I'd rather not
00:02:58she'll be a distraction from what sleeping
00:03:02from everything if anything Charles
00:03:04Miss Keaton will be a positive influence
00:03:06on you she was top of her class at a
00:03:08previous school with all due respect sir
00:03:11her previous school was American I highly
00:03:16doubt that that's enough she can sit here
00:03:21it's fine back to Goldie thank you you got
00:03:27it I'm Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very
00:03:30important that we look at what he's talking about their experience of the time
00:03:40wait you sat next to Charles
00:03:42she didn't you totally shut her down
00:03:44oh knew it don't take it personally he's impossible
00:03:47can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants
00:03:51what he's hot everyone kind of is
00:03:56I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're joking I don't find bullies attractive
00:04:02hey be careful you're talking about the king of Ashford
00:04:06the what his family basically own the school and the town maybe even the country
00:04:12yeah everyone's tried to get close no one can get past his ego you're not the first to get iced
00:04:18okay first of all I wasn't iced it's more like a mutual decision and second I think he's arrogant
00:04:25cold thinks he's untouchable but if you really look at Charles he just seems
00:04:31isolated like he's faking it all honestly I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic
00:04:47you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic
00:04:55next time read the room before opening your mouth American

00:10:36she's new
00:10:37everybody's already talking
00:10:38so you're worried about her
00:10:40you're overthinking
00:10:42I just don't like drama
00:10:50asshole
00:10:51who
00:10:53morning class
00:10:55back to golding
00:10:56remind me what he's saying
00:10:58through lord of the flies
00:11:04mr kenwood
00:11:05care to share what you found so amusing
00:11:08not particularly
00:11:09oh
00:11:10I insist
00:11:11you seem very entertained by golding
00:11:13I'm not entertained by golding sir
00:11:16on the contrary
00:11:18I think his ending is
00:11:20weak
00:11:22wait wait
00:11:24you actually read it
00:11:25quiet
00:11:27that's an interesting take
00:11:29explain
00:11:32he had the set up for something brutal
00:11:34something honest
00:11:36in the end
00:11:37he backed out
00:11:38he could have left the boys on the island
00:11:40forced them to confront
00:11:41the collapse of vulnerability
00:11:42let them choose survival
00:11:44or death
00:11:45but instead
00:11:47he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:49slapped a happily ever after
00:11:50on a book
00:11:51about
00:11:51savagery
00:11:55it's a waste
00:11:56don't you think
00:11:58I'm delightfully surprised charles
00:11:59didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:12:02I'm always a model student sir
00:12:04let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:08so
00:12:09a critique of golding's mercy
00:12:12anyone disagree
00:12:28I think golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:12:32it's not mercy
00:12:33it's irony
00:12:34how so
00:12:38the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:12:40you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:12:43golding didn't save them
00:12:45he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:12:48that's an interesting take misqueter
00:12:50you still think it's a harsh critique
00:12:52in some ways
00:12:54but not harsh enough
00:12:56yes
00:12:57it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:59but still golding
00:13:01sympathize with them
00:13:02and the civilized world
00:13:04toxic violent
00:13:05he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:13:07so yeah
00:13:08I don't think golding pushed far enough
00:13:10but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:16thank you miss keaton
00:13:18well said
00:13:19anyone else
00:13:22both opinions are valid
00:13:24okay
00:13:24that's kind of epic
00:13:26golding faced major backlash
00:13:28when he first published the book
00:13:30good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:35what's happening to me
00:13:42okay what is going on
00:13:44why is everyone staring at me
00:13:46well
00:13:46you're new
00:13:47and apparently had a thing with charles
00:13:50a what now
00:13:51you two are in the middle of the most epic feud
00:13:54as you've seen in years
00:13:55we're not even fighting
00:13:56well according to everyone
00:13:58you confessed your love on day one

00:14:07not believing in happy endings
00:14:09and stormed out in tears
00:14:12you were there sherry
00:14:13that is not what happened
00:14:16doesn't matter
00:14:17people believe what they want to believe

00:20:16please he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:20:36being a scholarship student has its perks
00:20:38like saving a fortune on tuition
00:20:41and getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates
00:20:46hey we miss you in paris
00:20:48though there are enough americans to remind us of you
00:20:51but sometimes
00:20:52being here in my stand behind

00:36:43I didn't see the message.
00:36:45Serena took my phone.
00:36:46I didn't know.
00:36:47I'm sorry.
00:36:48I'm okay.
00:36:51You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:53You're freezing.
00:36:53You didn't have to come.
00:36:57Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:59Give me hope that feels like hope.
00:37:22That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:37:27I wasn't going to.
00:37:41Really bad at this, you know.
00:37:43What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46All right.
00:37:47Do you want to dance to the rhythm of your hope?
00:37:51This is not forgiving, I'm flying in the air.
00:37:54Tell me what you said and tell me what you want.
00:37:58Get me home.
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:10Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:18That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:27Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:28I might hold you to that.
00:38:40You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:46One, two, three, four.
00:38:51Are you okay?
00:38:53Fly me to outer space.
00:38:56That's where I'll see your face and have you with me.
00:39:07It may seem dark, but you always light my spark in my heart.
00:39:22You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies we secretly married.
00:39:30Honestly, right?
00:39:34I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:41They all just let me down.
00:39:43But baby, you saved me.
00:39:46Till I'm brand new.
00:39:48Everything's so different now.
00:39:52So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:55Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:58Because it's weird.
00:39:59And I like weird.
00:40:09Check.
00:40:15You're cheating.
00:40:17I'm winning.
00:40:18There's a difference.
00:40:19You are very distracting.
00:40:21And you like it.
00:40:33Charles.
00:40:35We need to talk.
00:40:44I expected poor judgment.
00:40:46But this, in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like.
00:40:50No.
00:40:51Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:40:54Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:40:56We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:40:59Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:03She isn't just...
00:41:04You have no right to barge in.
00:41:07On my property.
00:41:11I care about her.
00:41:13I'm not ashamed of her.
00:41:14That's enough.
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:18We're protecting our son's future.
00:41:21And our name.
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:25We think she does not belong in your world.
00:41:31Then maybe I don't either.
00:41:35You're ready to give up everything?
00:41:37For a girl you barely know?
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:42Then, are you sure she's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you, do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be
00:41:59with you?
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:02You left us no choice, son.
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:09Pelton, it's Frederick Kenwood.
00:42:11Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioural code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant
00:42:22a review?
00:42:23Yes, sir.
00:42:27So, answer me again.
00:42:30Do you think she's ready to lose everything just to be with you?
00:42:46Charles, what happened?
00:42:47Did your parents say something?
00:42:48Are they mad?
00:42:48Is everything okay?
00:42:50Pack your things.
00:42:53You can't stay here anymore.
00:42:55What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother.
00:42:59She's leaving.
00:43:00So are you.
00:43:01Wait, what, why?
00:43:03Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this.
00:43:05I'll get a job.
00:43:06Stop, stop it.
00:43:07You don't get it.
00:43:09If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:43:12Okay?
00:43:13No card.
00:43:14No trust.
00:43:15No support.
00:43:17Nothing.
00:43:18Then, then we'll figure it out.
00:43:20We don't need all that.
00:43:23Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:43:27So that's what this was.
00:43:30Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:43:33What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing.
00:43:41They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:47Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:50You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:43:53What did they threaten you with?
00:44:00What did they threaten you with?
00:44:02This is the difference between me and you.
00:44:04What?
00:44:05You think you know me.
00:44:07Or what I have.
00:44:09You don't, Alice.
00:44:11You're still lying.
00:44:12I'm not, Alice.
00:44:14Look around you.
00:44:15This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:44:18It's my house.
00:44:20My world.
00:44:22I was bored into this.
00:44:24I am not choosing between this
00:44:26and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:34Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:36You don't mean it.
00:44:37It was fun.
00:44:38But you?
00:44:41You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:45I'll survive the loss.
00:44:49Right.
00:44:51I should have known.
00:44:54Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:44:59You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:45:03Go to sleep, Alice.
00:45:05Alice.
00:45:15This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:45:21In so deep I can barely see myself.
00:45:28Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted.
00:45:34But I find that's the place to test myself.
00:45:46Oops.
00:46:04Oh, sorry.
00:46:05Didn't see you there.
00:46:07Then again, nobody does.
00:46:09Move, please.
00:46:11Try begging.
00:46:18You know what?
00:46:19Keep it.
00:46:25Poor thing.
00:46:26So dramatic.
00:46:29Don't.
00:46:30Excuse me.
00:46:31I warned you.
00:46:33Walk away, Serena.
00:46:36Come on.
00:46:54Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:46:58But one pair surprised me, in a good way.
00:47:02Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:47:05Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:47:10Better have it.
00:47:18Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:47:24Like logic and chaos, or silence and noise.
00:47:28Different worlds, different rules.
00:47:32At first glance, they clash.
00:47:35But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:47:39Confused, confusion, curiosity.
00:47:41But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:44And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:57And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:48:01Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:06Miss Keaton?
00:48:08Dramatic as always.
00:48:10All right.
00:48:11Thank you, Alice.
00:48:12That was...
00:48:13layered.
00:48:16Are you okay?
00:48:17A reminder that good literature always stirs something.
00:48:24Hello?
00:48:25Hi, here's Alice Keaton.
00:48:26This is Whitmore Press.
00:48:27We've been following your work.
00:48:28We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:48:31Name your price.
00:48:32We'll make it work.
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:44That's kind of insane.
00:48:47Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:51Can...
00:48:52Can I meet them?
00:48:55I want to.
00:48:56Please.
00:48:58Or at least tell me a name.
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:49:05So they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them.
00:49:08I'm sorry, but keep them.
00:49:09They were very good.
00:49:11I think the most generous offer we've ever given a degree right now.
00:49:14I see.
00:49:15Congratulations again.
00:49:21You got the interview.
00:49:22It's just an interview.
00:49:23I haven't gotten it yet.
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:27That's iconic.
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:40I'm so excited.
00:49:54It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:58Good.
00:49:59It's a generous deal.
00:50:01You sure you don't want it to know?
00:50:03No.
00:50:05No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:50:16Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:50:20Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:50:28Your engagement announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:50:32And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:50:38It's all coming together beautifully.
00:50:43I've lost my appetite.
00:50:48I'll go check on him.
00:50:54What's your problem, Charles?
00:51:01Disengagement is not happening.
00:51:03It's not up to you.
00:51:04You know that.
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this.
00:51:07You've changed.
00:51:12Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:51:14I'll go check on him.
00:51:26I'll go check on him.
00:51:43You're the sponsor.
00:51:45You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:51:50So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone, including her.
00:51:54I protected her.
00:51:58you loved her
00:51:59still do
00:52:02let it go
00:52:03Serena

00:54:16He found you on the side of the road
00:54:18He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:54:22Oh
00:54:24The interview, what time is it?
00:54:26Easy
00:54:26It's okay
00:54:27Someone already contacted the university
00:54:30And sent in your writing samples
00:54:32They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:54:34Wait, what, who?
00:54:36No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:54:41What did you say?
00:54:43Nothing
00:54:43I just
00:54:46Had a dream
00:54:57I got him!
00:54:59Oh, I knew it
00:55:05Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:55:07He's not here
00:55:10Oh, you didn't know
00:55:12Know what?
00:55:14He left
00:55:14A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:18Honestly
00:55:19Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him
00:55:21It's probably for the best
00:55:22Come on
00:55:23I couldn't stay
00:55:25I couldn't wait
00:55:27I thought that you should know
00:55:29Alice
00:55:32The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:55:37Chaotic
00:55:38Unexpected
00:55:41And with his absence
00:55:43Come on
00:55:43To be with me
00:55:45It ended quietly
00:55:46With the feeling of your eyes on me
00:55:48Like summers always do
00:55:51Like summers always do
00:55:52Did you feel it from across the room?
00:55:57Did you feel it from across the room?
00:55:57Did you feel a little enchanted?
00:56:03And joining us today
00:56:05The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:56:09Alice Keaton
00:56:10Thank you for having me
00:56:11Now, your words moved millions
00:56:14They say your stories feel real
00:56:17Especially the ones about love
00:56:19Thank you
00:56:20Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:56:22How's your dating life like these days?
00:56:24No comment
00:56:26A little bird told me that the past four years
00:56:29Has been just writing and working
00:56:31Not even a single date
00:56:32Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:56:34She caught me
00:56:35Still no comment
00:56:36All right, all right
00:56:37No matter what you say
00:56:39You write love like someone who's lived it
00:56:43If you're so real
00:56:44Because once I did
00:56:46With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:56:48And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:53And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:57:07Congratulations Alice
00:57:08The numbers just came in
00:57:09You broke your own record
00:57:13That's incredible
00:57:14We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight
00:57:18Actually, there's something I'd rather do
00:57:23I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:57:27My sponsor
00:57:28You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah
00:57:30Just once
00:57:32Tonight, 7pm
00:57:44Good evening
00:57:49Good evening
00:57:53May I sit?
00:57:58Hey, Mr. Nonchalant
00:58:03Hi
00:58:05Hi
00:58:05Hi
00:58:08You look well
00:58:11And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:58:14You always did
00:58:16You were expecting someone else
00:58:19I was
00:58:21Hoping
00:58:23But I guess I always knew
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you
00:58:28Or to reopen anything
00:58:31I just wanted to say congratulations
00:58:35Oh
00:58:36Thank you
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading
00:58:41You were rich enough not to do so
00:58:44Always
00:58:46Either way
00:58:48Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:49So
00:58:50No
00:58:50No, you've
00:58:52You earned everything
00:58:56Every word
00:58:57Every page
00:59:00Every reader
00:59:02That's what I came to say
00:59:08It was good to see you again
00:59:09It was good to see you again
00:59:09I hope
00:59:10Charles
00:59:12Can you just
00:59:15Wait a little longer
00:59:23I think I knew it was you
00:59:26There was one email
00:59:28You said something
00:59:30It felt familiar
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kinda had that rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:59:35Very on brand
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar
00:59:40Too late
00:59:40Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:59:43Still the only girl I know
00:59:45Who flirts through punctuation
00:59:46Still the only guy I know
00:59:48Who uses wiles unironically
00:59:52You've changed
00:59:54But
00:59:56Not really
00:59:58You haven't changed
01:00:01But
01:00:01Maybe you've grown into who you really were
01:00:06Anyway
01:00:07I wanted to say
01:00:10Thank you
01:00:12And
01:00:13Thanks for being here tonight
01:00:15You didn't have to come
01:00:17Don't tell me what I have to do
01:00:19You didn't have to come
01:00:24Don't tell me
01:00:26What I have to do
01:00:41Don't tell me
01:00:41Don't tell me
01:00:46Don't tell me
01:00:47If you could go back
01:00:48If you had the chance to do it all again
01:00:50Would you do anything differently?
01:00:57No
01:01:02No
01:01:03No
01:01:07I see
01:01:12I know my answer now
01:01:13I know my answer now
01:01:13I didn't have the power back then
01:01:15Not enough to protect you
01:01:17I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:01:21Because of my name
01:01:22My family
01:01:25I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:01:28So you just disappeared
01:01:29Without a word
01:01:34If you had the chance to see the world
01:01:36Without me weighing you down
01:01:38If you still chose me after that
01:01:44You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:01:48But you made a choice for me
01:01:52Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:01:56I would have chosen you anyway?
01:02:04I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:02:06I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:02:06You weren't
01:02:09But I never claimed to be that smart
01:02:20This is me
01:02:22Right
01:02:30I'm still mad at you, you know
01:02:34I'm still in love with you, you know
01:02:44Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:48You're asking your ex
01:02:49Who you haven't seen in four years
01:02:52To come into your hotel
01:02:54At approximately 11pm
01:02:57You were right
01:02:58You never were that smart
01:03:00You don't have to come
01:03:02Don't tell me what I have to do
01:03:05It's almost like you say
01:03:09Where's things better to go
01:03:19Stop quoting yourself
01:03:20I recycle, it saves energy
01:03:24This feels wildly irresponsible
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer
01:03:28You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:03:30I said that?
01:03:31Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:03:34That's delicious
01:03:36You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:03:41That is cute to me
01:03:43Don't you dare quote poetry
01:03:45I wasn't going to
01:03:46I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:49Then shut up
01:03:51And prove it
01:03:57I still can't believe this is happening
01:04:00I told you they're either worst enemies or secretly married
01:04:03And I told you they're both
01:04:05They're both
01:04:13No
01:04:31I vow to always tell you the truth
01:04:35Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:37Then I lie
01:04:39Respectfully
01:04:41I vow to keep choosing you
01:04:44Loudly
01:04:46Quietly
01:04:48Always
01:04:49Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:04:53Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean, he did beat her at sarcasm
01:05:01I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:05:04Especially on Shakespeare
01:05:06I vow to write you into every story
01:05:09Even when I say I didn't
01:05:11You will always be a part of my life
01:05:14If she quotes Austin in this toast
01:05:16I'm out
01:05:17No you're not, you're gonna cry harder
01:05:18For the rest of life
01:05:23For the rest of life
01:05:26For the rest of life
01:05:48Guard your phone.
01:05:50Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:05:56You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:06:00Please, Alice, go change.
01:06:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:06:07No.
01:06:09No, no, no, no, that is not an invitation.
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes.
01:06:13Overroared.
01:06:14You look much better without them.
01:06:21To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters, you will find your way home.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Alice.
01:06:36I don't wanna die alone.
