00:00:02I've always described the world in words.
00:00:05People, moments, places.
00:00:08But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful. We're talking about the king of Ashton.
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.
00:00:28There'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.
00:01:18What was there?
00:01:20You excited for your first day?
00:01:21She calls this a fresh start.
00:01:22I call it terrifying.
00:01:30You've got this.
00:01:32Just be yourself.
00:01:34That's kind of the problem.
00:01:55You're so sad.

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 through 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
00:11:14i'm not entertained by golding sir
00:11:16on the contrary
00:11:18i think his ending is
00:11:21weak
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 setup for something brutal
00:11:34something honest
00:11:36but in 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 collapsible morality
00:11:42let them choose survival
00:11:44or death
00:11:45but instead
00:11:47he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:48slapped a happily ever after
00:11:50on a book about
00:11:51savagery
00:11:55it's a waste
00:11:56don't you think
00:11:57i'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 it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:59but still golding sympathize with them
00:13:02and the civilized world
00:13:04toxic
00:13:05violent
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 was kind of epic
00:13:26and let's not forget
00:13:26golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:29good 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 this 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
00:13:59got rejected
00:14:00begged to sit next to him
00:14:02got rejected again
00:14:04and today in class
00:14:05you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings
00:14:08and 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
00:14:19and they want charles to be flawless
00:14:22untouchable
00:14:22wow

00:17:25What are you doing here?
00:17:29Can you get off me first?
00:17:40You're welcome.
00:17:42I didn't say thank you.
00:17:44I figured saving your life might only be basic manners.
00:17:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:17:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:17:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:17:54Wow.
00:17:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:59Wouldn't recommend it.
00:18:00You're heavier than you look.
00:18:03I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:18:10Are you okay?
00:18:12No.
00:18:13But I will be.
00:18:16Someone did this on purpose.
00:18:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:18:20Don't worry.
00:18:21I can handle it.
00:18:22You shouldn't have to.
00:18:26I'm sorry.
00:18:34Sorry.
00:18:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:18:42Don't get used to it.
00:18:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:47Alice?
00:18:48Over here.
00:18:49I don't think I can't.
00:18:52You okay?
00:18:55Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57I just took a weird shower.
00:19:00Top exploded.
00:19:02Come on.
00:19:03Let's get you home.
00:19:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:17I heard you stay to the whole thing for attention.
00:19:43I know how this place works.
00:19:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:19:49I'll look into it.
00:19:52Charles.
00:19:54Good on you.
00:19:56How many of you would speak up?
00:20:01I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:20:04That's insane.
00:20:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:20:07Busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:20:10Well, for what it's worth,
00:20:12I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:20:16Please.
00:20:17He just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:20:35Being 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.
00:20:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:20:52But sometimes, being here means staying behind
00:20:55and watching Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:20:59you can never afford.
00:21:02Have fun.
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:21:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds,
00:21:13which translates to
00:21:14mom's salary for half a year.
00:21:16So, yeah,
00:21:17I didn't go.
00:21:40What are you doing here?
00:21:42Do you not believe in shirts?
00:21:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:21:45It's comfortable.
00:21:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:21:48This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:21:51And this is not even your house.
00:21:52And yet, you're here,
00:21:53dressed like this.
00:21:55Just don't, look, go away.
00:21:57Hard not to,
00:21:58when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:02Um, buzzkill?
00:22:05Cockblock.
00:22:06You're insufferable.
00:22:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:22:09You know what?
00:22:10I don't get it.
00:22:11Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:22:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:22:14Why do you think?
00:22:21How would I go?
00:22:23I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:22:27Florence.
00:22:28Walk in the great footsteps of Dante,
00:22:30Michelangelo,
00:22:31Da Vinci,
00:22:32and Titian.
00:22:32Or,
00:22:33Tiziano,
00:22:34if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:22:37Then Venice,
00:22:37because everybody loves a good canal,
00:22:39and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:22:42Next stop,
00:22:43Napoli,
00:22:44marvel at Pompeii,
00:22:45pretend you're shocked,
00:22:47ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:49The final stop,
00:22:50Paris,
00:22:52the ultimate city of romance.
00:22:54And, naturally,
00:22:56Woody Allen's favourite city,
00:22:58outside of New York.
00:23:01That's...
00:23:02word for word.
00:23:03I told you.
00:23:05I've done this tour so many times,
00:23:07I could run it.
00:23:08Okay,
00:23:08but still,
00:23:09it's Europe.
00:23:09Most people would kill for that chance.
00:23:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:23:14Twice.
00:23:16Also,
00:23:16I hate the accommodations.
00:23:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:23:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels?
00:23:23No thank you.
00:23:25Wow.
00:23:26Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:23:27That's unfortunate.
00:23:28It's a very chaotic city.
00:23:30One word of advice?
00:23:31Shut up.
00:23:32That's two words.
00:23:35You're weird.
00:23:36You're loud.
00:23:37You're annoying.
00:23:37You're in my kitchen.
00:23:38You have three other kitchens.
00:23:40And I prefer this one.
00:23:42Just for today.
00:23:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:23:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:23:46You don't have to come.
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:58Master Charles,
00:23:59roads are flooded.
00:24:00Staff won't make it tonight.
00:24:01Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:24:05I've got it sorted.
00:24:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:24:20Relax.
00:24:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:24:24What deal?
00:24:26You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:24:31You'll survive.
00:24:33I'm not selling my body.
00:24:39I'm not selling my body.
00:24:45Wow.
00:24:46I am deeply offended.
00:24:49That thought disgusts me.
00:24:51Then what are you doing?
00:24:52The staff's off tonight.
00:24:54I'm buying dinner.
00:24:58Do you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on...
00:25:00No, I'm...
00:25:01I'm...
00:25:03Wait.
00:25:04You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:25:08I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled.
00:25:16Are you sure about that?
00:25:19I present to you.
00:25:21Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:25:24You're welcome.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:27Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:25:31It's...
00:25:32Good.
00:25:39Was that a compliment?
00:25:41Although...
00:25:42I am obliged to inform you.
00:25:44Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:25:46It's American.
00:25:47And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:25:50You should read more.
00:25:53Put it down.
00:25:55I paid for it.
00:25:56You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:25:58To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:26:02It's only easy because it costs two hundred pounds.
00:26:06You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:26:08Make sure we're not...
00:26:09I know.
00:26:24Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:349-1-1, what's with your emergency?
00:26:409-1-1, what's with your emergency?
00:26:43It's my dad.
00:26:43He needs help.
00:26:44He just had a stroke.
00:26:45Okay, miss.
00:26:46Hurricane's constant traffic.
00:26:47Shut down.
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:49Please, he's not well.
00:26:51I understand.
00:26:52Can you confirm your address?
00:26:55Yes.
00:26:55Daddy, yes, I'm right here.
00:26:57Hi.
00:26:59My daughter.
00:27:00Please stay with me, Dad.
00:27:02Please.
00:27:07No.
00:27:09Please wake up.
00:27:14Dad, please.
00:27:16Please don't leave me.
00:27:17Please.
00:27:22No.
00:27:28No.
00:27:49You, what are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying, loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:01Right. Sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait, you know Snarky come back?
00:28:08Not tonight, I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:28:14You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:18Hurricane hit New York.
00:28:20Power went down, traffic froze.
00:28:24Dad had a stroke.
00:28:25But he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:29I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:28:36Peaceful.
00:28:38Like he was asleep.
00:28:40But he wasn't.
00:28:45So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:28:48This used to be our hometown.
00:28:51After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:05Come on.
00:29:22Wait, I thought the peril was out.
00:29:25It is. We have our own generator.
00:29:27Wow.
00:29:29Rich people houses her.
00:29:30Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:29:35Allow what?
00:29:36You can call this place your house.
00:29:38So enjoy it.
00:29:40Stephen King's first edition.
00:29:41Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:29:43Jane Austen's notes.
00:29:45All yours.
00:29:50This is your home, Alice Keaton.
00:29:59Careful.
00:30:00Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:03Don't push it.
00:30:04Okay then.
00:30:06I have one request.
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:21Are you ever going to make a move?
00:30:23Wait.
00:30:24Give me a second.
00:30:25I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:29And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:30:32inside a literal mansion,
00:30:34you chose chess.
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:37Got a problem?
00:30:38It's just so cool.
00:30:39Like, spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:42It's literally a board game.
00:30:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:48Does the knight go diagonally?
00:30:50For the tenth time,
00:30:51it moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One.
00:30:55Two.
00:30:56Then turn.
00:30:58There.
00:30:59Happy?
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:03You know.
00:31:04That's suicide.
00:31:05Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:31:07You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:31:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:31:11You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:14It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh my, no.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:18What's going to do that?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that?
00:31:21No, no.
00:31:21Oh my god.
00:31:23You had a shot but you went about it all wrong.
00:31:26I tried to pull you in close as we're locked on the phone.
00:31:29All yourself up there's no nothing on.
00:31:32Oh yeah.
00:31:35Showing up at the door.
00:31:38Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:42Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:31:52Um, who are you?
00:31:59What are you doing here?
00:32:01Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:32:03Thank god you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:32:06Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:32:08When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night.
00:32:10From Zurich.
00:32:11You didn't answer my messages.
00:32:14I missed you.
00:32:16Anyway, thought I'd come to surprise you.
00:32:19Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:32:21Your parents were so thrilled.
00:32:23They didn't tell me about this.
00:32:24I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:32:27They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:32:30You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:32:34Engagement.
00:32:35Oh, did no one tell you?
00:32:38He's promised.
00:32:40Old money stuff, very retro.
00:32:42I didn't agree to that.
00:32:43You didn't have to.
00:32:44It's never up to us.
00:32:47Where did you find this little toy?
00:32:50Serena?
00:32:50I can hear you, you know.
00:32:52Oh, an American.
00:32:54How refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:18Where are you going?
00:33:19You still owe me breakfast.
00:33:21You only paid for dinner.
00:33:23I have homework.
00:33:25Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy has quite the temper.
00:33:30Serena, can you please just stop?
00:33:32What?
00:33:33Teasing the help.
00:33:40That's her.
00:33:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:44Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:34:01Oh, my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying you live with Charles.
00:34:06Oh, and Serena.
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:34:13Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:40Yeah.
00:34:41Can you help me?

00:51:41You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time!
00:51:47So?
00:51:48You lied to everyone, including her!
00:51:51I protected her.
00:51:54You loved her!
00:51:56Still do.
00:51:59Let it go, Serena.
00:52:02There's no point.
00:52:12I need a favour.
00:52:14Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:52:17And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:52:24Anything? No?
00:52:27She's not answering.
00:52:28The interview's almost over.
00:52:30Well, she won't just not show up.
00:52:32Something's wrong.
00:52:34Where's Alice?
00:52:36When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:38From last night.
00:52:39She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:44James, track someone for me.
00:52:48Wait, where are you going?
00:52:57Chill, okay?
00:52:58It won't hurt you.
00:53:00Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you awake from the interview.
00:53:03That's it.
00:53:11Shit!
00:53:12Come back!
00:53:40I remember how
00:53:44I didn't need a second guess
00:53:51Hey hey hey Alice Alice
00:53:54Alice stay with me stay with me
00:53:56Stay with me Alice
00:54:04You're awake
00:54:06Where where am I?
00:54:08Local clinic
00:54:09Passer-by brought you in
00:54:12Passer by
00:54:13He found you on the side of the road
00:54:15He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:54:19Oh
00:54:21The interview, what time is it?
00:54:23Easy, it's okay
00:54:24Someone already contacted the university
00:54:27To do an interview for tomorrow
00:54:28Wait, what, who?
00:54:30No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:54:35What did you say?
00:54:37Nothing
00:54:38I just
00:54:40Had a dream
00:54:51I got him!
00:54:56Oh, I knew it
00:54:59Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:55:01He's not here
00:55:03Oh, you
00:55:05Didn't know
00:55:06Know what?
00:55:08He left
00:55:09A few days ago, yeah
00:55:10Everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:12Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him
00:55:15It's probably for the best
00:55:16Come on
00:55:22Alice?
00:55:26The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:55:31Chaotic
00:55:31Unexpected
00:55:35And with his absence
00:55:37Come on
00:55:39It ended quietly
00:55:42Like summers always do
00:55:57And joining us today
00:55:59The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:56:03Alice Keaton
00:56:04Thank you for having me
00:56:05Now, your words moved millions
00:56:08They say your stories feel real
00:56:11Especially the ones about love
00:56:13Thank you
00:56:13Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:56:16How's your dating life like these days?
00:56:19No comment
00:56:19A little bird told me that the past four years has been just writing and working, not even a single
00:56:26date
00:56:26Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:56:28She caught me
00:56:29Still no comment
00:56:30All right, all right
00:56:31No matter what you say
00:56:33You write love
00:56:34Like someone who's lived it
00:56:37If you're so real
00:56:38Because once
00:56:39I did
00:56:40With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:56:42And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:47And let's give it up for Alice Keaton
00:56:50One more time
00:57:01Congratulations Alice
00:57:02The numbers just came in
00:57:03You broke your own record
00:57:06That's
00:57:07Incredible
00:57:08We're thinking celebration
00:57:09Press
00:57:11Photos
00:57:11Maybe tonight
00:57:12Actually
00:57:13There's something I'd rather do
00:57:17I'd like to meet with the person who
00:57:18Believed in me first
00:57:20My sponsor
00:57:22You're sure?
00:57:23Yeah
00:57:23Just once
00:57:25Tonight
00:57:267pm
00:57:37Good evening
00:57:43Good evening
00:57:46May I sit?
00:57:52Hey Mr. Nonchalant
00:57:57Hi
00:57:58Hi
00:58:01You look well
00:58:05And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:58:08You always did
00:58:10You were expecting someone else
00:58:13I was
00:58:14I was
00:58:15Hoping
00:58:17But I guess I always knew
00:58:19I didn't come here to confuse you
00:58:21Or to reopen anything
00:58:25I just wanted to say congratulations
00:58:29Oh
00:58:29Thank you
00:58:31Thanks for keeping me
00:58:33I didn't know you're still reading
00:58:35You were rich enough not to do so
00:58:38Always
00:58:39Either way
00:58:41Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:43So
00:58:44No
00:58:44No
00:58:45No
00:58:45No
00:58:46You earned everything
00:58:50Every word
00:58:51Every page
00:58:54Every reader
00:58:56That's what I came to say
00:59:01It was good to see you again
00:59:03I hope
00:59:04Charles
00:59:06Can you just
00:59:09Wait a little longer
00:59:16I think I knew it was you
00:59:20There was one email
00:59:22You said something
00:59:24Felt familiar
00:59:25Really?
00:59:26Kinda had that
00:59:27Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:59:29Very on brand
00:59:32I should have anonymized my grammar
00:59:34Too late
00:59:34Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:59:37Still the only girl I know
00:59:39Who flirts through punctuation
00:59:40Still the only guy I know
00:59:42Who uses wiles unironically
00:59:46You've changed
00:59:48But
00:59:50Not really
00:59:52You haven't changed
00:59:55But
00:59:55Maybe you've grown into who you really were
01:00:00Anyway
01:00:01I wanted to say
01:00:03Thank you
01:00:05And
01:00:07Thanks for being here tonight
01:00:09You didn't have to come
01:00:11Don't tell me what I have to do
01:00:13You didn't have to come
01:00:18Don't tell me
01:00:19What I have to do
01:00:40If you could go back
01:00:42If you had the chance to do it all again
01:00:44Would you do anything differently
01:00:51No
01:00:56No
01:01:01I see
01:01:05I know my answer now
01:01:07I didn't have the power back then
01:01:09Not enough to protect you
01:01:11I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:01:14Because of my name
01:01:16My family
01:01:19I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:01:22So you just disappeared
01:01:23Without a word
01:01:28If you had the chance to see the world
01:01:30Without me weighing you down
01:01:32If you still chose me after that
01:01:38You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:01:41But you made a choice for me
01:01:45Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:01:50I would have chosen you anyway
01:01:57I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:02:00You weren't
01:02:03But
01:02:04I never claimed to be that smart
01:02:14This is me
01:02:15Right
01:02:24I'm still mad at you
01:02:25You know
01:02:28I'm still in love with you
01:02:29You know
01:02:38Do you want to come in for a bit
01:02:42You're asking your ex
01:02:43Who you haven't seen in four years
01:02:45To come into your hotel
01:02:47At approximately 11pm
01:02:51You were right
01:02:52You never were that smart
01:02:55You don't have to come
01:02:56Don't tell me what I have to do
01:03:13Stop quoting yourself
01:03:14I recycle
01:03:15It saves energy
01:03:18This feels wildly irresponsible
01:03:20You sound like a disclaimer
01:03:21You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:03:24I said that
01:03:25Yeah
01:03:25Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:03:28That still is
01:03:30You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:03:35That is cute to me
01:03:36Don't you dare quote poetry
01:03:38I wasn't going to
01:03:39I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:42Then shut up
01:03:44And prove it
01:03:51I still can't believe this is happening
01:03:53I told you
01:03:55They're either worst enemies
01:03:56Or secretly married
01:03:57And I told you
01:03:58They're both
01:04:03It's more than a nothing
01:04:25I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:04:29Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:31Then I lie
01:04:33Respectfully
01:04:35I vow to keep choosing you
01:04:38Loudly
01:04:40Quietly
01:04:41Always
01:04:43Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:04:47Is he actually good at this?
01:04:49I mean
01:04:50He did beat her at song
01:04:51I vowed to argue with you at least twice a week
01:04:57Especially over Shakespeare
01:05:00I vowed to write you
01:05:01In your every story
01:05:03Even when I say I didn't
01:05:05You will always be part of my life
01:05:08If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:05:10I'm out
01:05:11No you're not
01:05:11You're going to cry harder
01:05:32I can't believe you picked Paris
01:05:38Such a cliche honeymoon destination
01:05:42Guard your phone
01:05:43Relax
01:05:44Just don't dress like a walking inheritance
01:05:46And you'll be fine
01:05:50You are not wearing that on our honeymoon
01:05:53Please Alice
01:05:54Go change
01:05:56Don't tell me what I have to do
01:06:01No
01:06:03No
01:06:03No no no
01:06:04That is not an invitation
01:06:05Do not take off these clothes
01:06:07Overruled
01:06:07You look much better without them
01:06:15To the ones who loved in silence
01:06:17In chaos
01:06:18In chapters
01:06:20You will find your way home
01:06:26Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:06:28But I don't want to die alone
01:06:31God
01:06:42Oopsie
01:06:44My king
01:06:48Okay
01:06:56It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:07:02Help us develop, learn, and grow.
