Full Episode of In Other Words, I Love You
Transcript
00:00:01I'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 Ashford.
00:00:15He's cool.
00:00:16I don't find Bowie's 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.
00:01:14Self-made, stubborn, and never wrong.
00:01:18Almost there.
00:01:19You excited for your first day?
00:01:20She 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.
00:01:36But how do they drive it?
00:01:48Check it out.
00:01:55Let's go later!
00:01:56Let's say it!
00:01:56You're okay.
00:02:00I want to take you down.
00:02:03OK.
00:02:05Morning, class.
00:02:08And you're not seated because?
00:02:11I don't have a seat.
00:02:14Ah, a new transfer.
00:02:16Alice Keaton, right?
00:02:18Let's see.
00:02:21Now, there's a spot next to Charles.
00:02:24Charles case, Sherry.
00:02:26Seriously?
00:02:27A charity case sitting next to Charles?
00:02:29God, why is she?
00:02:31Quiet, Charles.
00:02:36I've always had words for everything.
00:02:39But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:02:53Charles, move your things.
00:02:56I'd rather not.
00:02:58She'll be a distraction.
00:02:59From what?
00:03:00Sleeping.
00:03:02From everything.
00:03:03If anything, Charles, Miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you.
00:03:07She was top of her class at her previous school.
00:03:10With all due respect, sir, her previous school was American.
00:03:15I highly doubt that.
00:03:18That's enough.
00:03:20She can sit here.
00:03:21It's fine.
00:03:24Back to Goldie.
00:03:27You got it.
00:03:28I'm Sherry Bourne.
00:03:29Alice Keaton.
00:03:29It's very important that we look at the audience and tell you what he's talking about, their
00:03:35experience of the time.
00:03:37Alice.
00:03:39Wait.
00:03:40You sat next to Charles?
00:03:42She didn't.
00:03:42You totally shut her down.
00:03:44Oh, knew it.
00:03:45Don't take it past me.
00:03:46He's impossible.
00:03:47Can everyone stop acting like the goal was getting into his pants?
00:03:51What?
00:03:52He's hot.
00:03:53Everyone kind of is.
00:03:56I've seen.
00:03:57I've seen.
00:03:58He's not my type.
00:03:59You're joking.
00:04:00I don't find bullies attractive.
00:04:02Hey!
00:04:03Be careful.
00:04:04We're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:04:06The what?
00:04:07His family basically own the school.
00:04:10And the town.
00:04:11Maybe even the country.
00:04:12Yeah.
00:04:13Everyone's tried to get close.
00:04:14No one can get past his ego.
00:04:16You're not the first to get iced.
00:04:18Okay, first of all, I wasn't iced.
00:04:20It's more like a mutual decision.
00:04:23And second, I think he's arrogant, cold, thinks he's untouchable.
00:04:28But if you really look at Charles, he just seems isolated, like he's faking it all.
00:04:33Honestly, I just think he's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:04:40What?
00:04:41No, go on.
00:04:48You were saying I'm lonely and pathetic.
00:04:55Next time, read the room before opening your mouth, American.
00:05:04We're not in Kansas anymore, Alice.
00:05:21Hey, how was your first day?
00:05:24Uh, good.
00:05:25Anything exciting happen?
00:05:27Not really. Super uneventful.
00:05:29Really?
00:05:31How's your new job?
00:05:32Yeah, alright.
00:05:34Get this?
00:05:34They said we can stay in the servant's wing.
00:05:36Seriously?
00:05:37Hmm.
00:05:38Apparently the young master won't mind the company.
00:05:40The young master.
00:05:44This is your boss's house.
00:05:46Yeah?
00:05:47Isn't that incredible?
00:05:48I mean, I wouldn't call it a house.
00:05:51It's a museum with better landscaping.
00:05:59Wait here.
00:06:00I'll talk to the butler.
00:06:06Wow.
00:06:07Rich people.
00:06:09You've topped yourselves again.
00:06:13Stephen King.
00:06:15First edition.
00:06:26I'm breaking and entering now.
00:06:28How American of you.
00:06:52You can get up now.
00:06:53I-I'm trying.
00:06:56Wait!
00:06:58Are you serious?
00:07:00Well, you said you were trying.
00:07:03What is wrong with you?
00:07:05Funny.
00:07:05I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:07:07What are you doing in my house?
00:07:11You...
00:07:12Wait.
00:07:13Your house?
00:07:14My house.
00:07:15My library.
00:07:17And now, apparently, my unwanted guest.
00:07:22Ah, Master Charles.
00:07:23You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter.
00:07:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:07:28She what?
00:07:28There...
00:07:29There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:07:31You see, I'm not actually moving in.
00:07:34Is that so?
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36I'm not staying here.
00:07:37Like, at all.
00:07:38That's a shame.
00:07:39Your mother seemed quite pleased with the arrangement.
00:07:41Well, I just don't think it's appropriate.
00:07:44Well, if you're sure, then absolutely not.
00:07:46Come on, Alice.
00:07:51You must stay.
00:07:54It'll be fun.
00:07:56My dear classmate.
00:08:00I'm dead.
00:08:02Like, mentally.
00:08:03Socially.
00:08:04And actually dead.
00:08:12Just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails.
00:08:16Get it together, Alice Keaton.
00:08:19You've been through hell.
00:08:20But I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:08:23Actually, no.
00:08:25No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:08:26They all just let me go.
00:08:27This is hell.
00:08:28But baby, you saved me.
00:08:30Uh, good morning.
00:08:38Wow.
00:08:39Wow.
00:08:46Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:48Well, f***ing doesn't know.
00:08:50That's often closed for months.
00:08:52She's going to be late.
00:08:58Okay.
00:08:59How long is this thing gonna take?
00:09:01Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:04Five miles to school!
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08If I sprint, maybe I'll make it before first period.
00:09:12Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:17Or die of exhaustion on the way.
00:09:20Wha-
00:09:21What are you doing here?
00:09:22Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait.
00:09:27Did you come back for me?
00:09:30Relax.
00:09:32I forgot my textbook.
00:09:34Don't flatter yourself.
00:09:36Wait.
00:09:39Since you're already here,
00:09:41maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:09:47No.
00:09:48Seriously?
00:09:49Your car is huge!
00:09:51Yeah.
00:09:53And I'm not a fan of sharing.
00:09:56Says the guy who forced me to live in his house!
00:09:59Of course.
00:10:03Unbelievable!
00:10:13Ashford Institute, please.
00:10:19Clooney is that entitled brat anyway.
00:10:22Sir, you called the cab.
00:10:24Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:31Why not just give Miss Keaton a lift?
00:10:33And have the whole school go crazy.
00:10:35She'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.
00:10:49Asshole.
00:10:51Hey.
00:10:53Morning, Claus.
00:10:55Back to Golding.
00:10:57Remind 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.
00:11:10Oh, I insist.
00:11:11You seem very entertained by Golding.
00:11:14I'm not entertained by Golding, sir.
00:11:17On the contrary.
00:11:18I think his ending is...
00:11:21Weak.
00:11:23Wait, wait.
00:11:24You wish you'd 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.
00:11:35Something honest.
00:11:36In the end, he backed out.
00:11:38He could have left the boys on the island.
00:11:40Forced them to confront a collapse of vulnerability.
00:11:43Let them choose survival.
00:11:44Or death.
00:11:46But instead, he gave them a rescue boat.
00:11:49Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery.
00:11:55It's a waste.
00:11:57Don't you think?
00:11:57I'm delightfully surprised, Charles.
00:11:59Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions.
00:12:03I'm always a model student, sir.
00:12:05Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:12:08So, a 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, it's irony.
00:12:35How 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.
00:12:44Golding didn't save them, he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved.
00:12:48That's an interesting take, Miss Keaton.
00:12:50You still think it's a harsh critique?
00:12:53In some ways, but not harsh enough.
00:12:56Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathized with them.
00:13:02And the civilized world? Toxic, violent. He didn't call that out nearly as much.
00:13:07So, yeah, I don't think Golding pushed far enough, but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending.
00:13:16Thank you, Miss Keaton.
00:13:17Well said.
00:13:19Anyone else?
00:13:22Both opinions are valid.
00:13:24Okay, that's kind of epic.
00:13:26And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book.
00:13:30Good literature will always divide opinions.
00:13:35What's happening to me?
00:13:42Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well, you're new.
00:13:48And apparently had a thing with Charles.
00:13:50A what now?
00:13:51You two are in the middle of the most epic feud Asher's scene in years.
00:13:55We're not even fighting.
00:13:56Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one.
00:13:59Got rejected, begged to sit next to him, got rejected again.
00:14:04And today in class, you broke down crying about not believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears.
00:14:12You were there, Sherry. That 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, untouchable.
00:14:23Wow.
00:14:24Is misogyny like a rich kid thing or just a British specialty?
00:14:27Honestly, both.
00:14:30But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat.
00:14:41Okay.
00:14:42Loaded.
00:14:44Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:15:01Hello?
00:15:04Hello?
00:15:06Is somebody out there?
00:15:08Oh, come on!
00:15:09Come on!
00:15:22Fine.
00:15:37Seriously?
00:15:40Oh, shit.
00:15:46What the hell?
00:15:49Anne!
00:15:50I thought you were having dinner with Alice.
00:15:52She hasn't come home.
00:15:53Her phone is off.
00:15:54Maybe you've seen her this evening?
00:15:58Yikes.
00:15:59Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester.
00:16:08Shit.
00:16:13Alice!
00:16:15Alice!
00:16:16Mr Pelton, Charles Kenwood here.
00:16:18I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton.
00:16:20She hasn't come home.
00:16:22I'll have it sent over.
00:16:24Check the common room in the library.
00:16:26I'll take the rest.
00:16:28Alice!
00:16:30Alice!
00:16:43Come on, Alice.
00:16:46Close your eyes and jump.
00:16:48It's fine.
00:16:50You're fine.
00:16:51Alice Keaton.
00:17:07I'll try.
00:17:07Alice.
00:17:08I'll be there.
00:17:08No, Alice.
00:17:08I'll be there.
00:17:08love us.
00:17:12Okay, I'll be there, please.
00:17:15I'll be there.
00:17:15No, Alice.
00:17:19Are you happy with how we end?
00:17:24What 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.
00:17:43I figured saving your life might earn me 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.
00:17:53Wow.
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.
00:18:15Someone did this on purpose.
00:18:17What do you think, golden boy?
00:18:20Don't worry.
00:18:21I can handle it.
00:18:21You shouldn't have to.
00:18:26I'm sorry.
00:18:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:18:42Don't get used to it.
00:18:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:18:46Alice?
00:18:48Over here.
00:18:49Oh, my God.
00:18:50Oh, my God.
00:18:52You okay?
00:18:55Why are you drenched?
00:18:56Yeah.
00:18:57I just took a weird shower.
00:18:59Tap exploded.
00:19:02Come on.
00:19:03Let's go.
00:19:14Alice Keaton, right?
00:19:17I heard she staged 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.
00:20:01I 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?
00:20:07They're busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds.
00:20:10Well, for what it's worth, I 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, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into schools that normally wouldn't
00:20:43even 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.
00:20:51But sometimes, being here may stand behind and watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can
00:20:59never afford.
00:21:01Have fun.
00:21:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:21:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:21:16So, yeah.
00:21:17I didn't go.
00:21:31I didn't go.
00:21:40What are you doing here?
00:21:41Do 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 is not even your kitchen.
00:21:50And this is not even your house.
00:21:52And yet you're here, dressed like this.
00:21:55Just don't look.
00:21:56Go away.
00:21:57Part not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:22:00What do you guys call it?
00:22:03Buzzkill?
00:22:04Cockblock.
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?
00:22:21Where 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, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian.
00:22:32Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:22:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth.
00:22:42Next stop, Napoli.
00:22:44Marvel at Pompeii.
00:22:45Pretend you're shocked.
00:22:47Ancient people had plumbing.
00:22:48The final stop, Paris.
00:22:51The ultimate city of romance.
00:22:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:23:01That's word for word.
00:23:03I told you, I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:23:08Okay, but still, it'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, I 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.
00:23:32It'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 didn't have to come.
00:23:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:23:57After Charles, roads 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.
00:24:25What 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.
00:24:44Wow.
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.
00:24:53I'm buying dinner.
00:24:58Did you seriously think
00:24:59I'd spend £100 on...
00:25:00No, I...
00:25:01Jesus.
00:25:03Wait.
00:25:04You think I'm not worth £100?
00:25:08I'm not spending £100 to snort you back up.
00:25:11You know what?
00:25:12Dinner's cancelled.
00:25:15Are you sure about that?
00:25:19I present to you
00:25:20meatball spaghetti,
00:25:22stir-fried veggies,
00:25:23and french fries.
00:25:24You're welcome.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France,
00:25:29but this will do.
00:25:31It's...
00:25:32good.
00:25:39Was that a compliment?
00:25:40Although,
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,
00:25:48likely 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,
00:25:58don't you?
00:25:58To be fair,
00:26:00you make it very easy.
00:26:02It's only easy
00:26:03because it costs £200.
00:26:06You know,
00:26:06if you'd ask for more,
00:26:07I probably would have given it to you.
00:26:08I'll make sure you're right.
00:26:23Hey, Alice,
00:26:25it's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:349-1-1,
00:26:34what's for your emergency?
00:26:409-1-1,
00:26:41what's for your emergency?
00:26:42It's my dad.
00:26:43He needs help.
00:26:44He just had a stroke.
00:26:45Okay, miss.
00:26:46Hurricane constant traffic shut down.
00:26:48We'll get to you as soon as we can.
00:26:49Please,
00:26:50he's not well.
00:26:50I understand.
00:26:52Can you confirm your address?
00:26:55Dad?
00:26:55Dad,
00:26:56yes,
00:26:56I'm right here.
00:26:57Hi.
00:26:59My daughter.
00:27:01Please,
00:27:01stay with me,
00:27:01dad.
00:27:02Please.
00:27:07No.
00:27:09Please,
00:27:09wake up.
00:27:14Dad,
00:27:15please.
00:27:15Please don't leave me.
00:27:19Please.
00:27:49What are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying.
00:27:58Loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right.
00:28:03Sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait,
00:28:06you know Snarky come back?
00:28:08Not tonight.
00:28:09I'm too tired.
00:28:09If you're here to argue,
00:28:11knock yourself out.
00:28:14You were calling for your dad,
00:28:16right?
00:28:18Hurricane hit New York.
00:28:20Power went down,
00:28:21traffic froze.
00:28:23Dad had a stroke,
00:28:25but he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:29I sat there
00:28:30with a candle
00:28:33while he laid there
00:28:36peaceful,
00:28:38like he was asleep.
00:28:40but he wasn't.
00:28:45So that's why
00:28:46you and your mum
00:28:46moved here?
00:28:48This used to be
00:28:49our hometown.
00:28:51After dad left,
00:28:54we had nowhere else to go.
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:05come on.
00:29:06Come on.
00:29:09Come on.
00:29:22Wait,
00:29:23I thought the peril was out.
00:29:25It is.
00:29:26We have our own generator.
00:29:27Wow.
00:29:28Rich people houses her.
00:29:30Just for tonight,
00:29:32I'll allow it.
00:29:35Allow what?
00:29:36You can call this place
00:29:37your house,
00:29:38so enjoy it.
00:29:39Stephen King's first edition,
00:29:41Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters,
00:29:43Jane Austen's notes,
00:29:44all yours.
00:29:50This is your home,
00:29:53Alice Keaton.
00:29:59Careful.
00:30:00Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:03Don't push it.
00:30:03Okay, then.
00:30:07I have
00:30:08one request.
00:30:12What is it?
00:30:21Are you ever going
00:30:22to make a move?
00:30:23Wait.
00:30:23Give me a second.
00:30:24I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:29And in the middle
00:30:30of a thunderstorm,
00:30:31inside a literal mansion,
00:30:34you chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:36Got a problem?
00:30:38It's just so cool,
00:30:39like spies
00:30:40or genius villains
00:30:41in movies.
00:30:42It's literally a board game.
00:30:44Says the guy
00:30:45who owns a custom set.
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:47Does the night
00:30:48go diagonally?
00:30:50For the tenth time,
00:30:51it moves in an L shape.
00:30:54One,
00:30:54two,
00:30:56then turn.
00:30:58There.
00:30:59Happy?
00:31:00Ecstatic.
00:31:03I don't know.
00:31:04That's suicide.
00:31:05Or a brilliant
00:31:06long-term sacrifice.
00:31:07You are playing
00:31:08checkers at a chessboard.
00:31:09Still beating you
00:31:10in sarcasm.
00:31:10You literally
00:31:11haven't won me.
00:31:12Ask documents.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:14It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh my...
00:31:17No.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:18What's that?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Can I not do that?
00:31:22No.
00:31:22You had to shop
00:31:24but you went about it all wrong.
00:31:26I had to pull you in close
00:31:27as we're locked on your phone.
00:31:29All yourself open
00:31:31so I'm moving on.
00:31:33Oh yeah.
00:31:35Showing up at my door.
00:31:38Holding your heart
00:31:39there inside your hands.
00:31:42Maybe
00:31:42maybe
00:31:43he's not so awful
00:31:44after all.
00:31:52Um,
00:31:53who are you?
00:31:59What are you doing here?
00:32:00Well,
00:32:01your parents said
00:32:01you were still at home.
00:32:03Thank God
00:32:03you skipped that
00:32:04boring grand tour.
00:32:05Who needs Italy and France again?
00:32:07Right?
00:32:07When 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,
00:32:16thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:18Apparently,
00:32:19I'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
00:32:25the happy news myself.
00:32:26They said it'd be lovely
00:32:28for us to
00:32:28reconnect.
00:32:30You know,
00:32:31considering the engagement
00:32:32and all.
00:32:34Engagement.
00:32:35Oh,
00:32:36did no one tell you?
00:32:38He's promised.
00:32:40Old money stuff.
00:32:41Very 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
00:32:48this little toy?
00:32:50Serena?
00:32:50I can hear you, you know.
00:32:52Oh,
00:32:53an American.
00:32:54How
00:32:55refreshing.
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.
00:33:24Goodbye.
00:33:28Your little toy
00:33:29has quite the temper.
00:33:30Serena,
00:33:31can you please just stop?
00:33:32What?
00:33:33Teasing the help.
00:33:40That's her.
00:33:41That's the one
00:33:41from Kenwood's house.
00:33:43Was she like
00:33:44the maid or something?
00:34:01Oh my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying
00:34:04you live with Charles.
00:34:06Oh,
00:34:06and Serena.
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well,
00:34:09apparently she told everyone
00:34:10you were caught
00:34:10sneaking into his room.
00:34:12Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:43Come to the music room.
00:34:45Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered
00:34:48I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah,
00:34:51yeah,
00:34:51okay.
00:34:56Alice,
00:34:58is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously?
00:35:01This is getting old.
00:35:13Wait.
00:35:15music room, what?
00:35:18James?
00:35:20Is anybody in here earlier?
00:35:21Just Miss Serena.
00:35:22Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir,
00:35:28it's raining.
00:35:39Come on, Alice.
00:35:40You're fine.
00:35:43You're not that girl again.
00:35:51Wait, can you remind me
00:35:52one more time?
00:35:53Okay.
00:35:55Rooks moving straight lines.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58Bishops move diagonally.
00:36:00And knights...
00:36:00The knight's the weird one.
00:36:07Rooks.
00:36:09Straight lines.
00:36:11Bishops.
00:36:13Diagonally.
00:36:14Hello?
00:36:17Hello?
00:36:19Hello?
00:36:34The text.
00:36:36Are you okay?
00:36:38Are you hurt?
00:36:39I...
00:36:39I'm okay.
00:36:40I...
00:36:41I saw the text
00:36:42and I thought...
00:36:43I...
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...
00:36:49Okay.
00:36:51You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:52You're freezing.
00:36:53You didn't have to come.
00:36:56Don't tell me
00:36:58what I have to do.
00:36:59Give me hope
00:37:01that feels
00:37:04like hope
00:37:22that was a mistake.
00:37:24If that's what you're about to say.
00:37:27I...
00:37:27wasn't going to.
00:37:30you.
00:37:41Really bad at this,
00:37:42you know.
00:37:43What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46What?
00:37:47I...
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:09Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously.
00:38:14It's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:18That's basically
00:38:20consent
00:38:21to everything.
00:38:27Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:28I might hold you to that.
00:38:31Huff.
00:38:31Huff.
00:38:32Huff.
00:38:33Huff.
00:38:33Huff.
00:38:33Huff.
00:38:34Huff.
00:38:34Huff.
00:38:35Huff.
00:38:36Huff.
00:38:38Huff.
00:38:40You'll be working in pairs
00:38:41on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:46One, two, three, four.
00:38:49One, two, three, four.
00:38:50Paper planes
00:38:51Are you okay?
00:38:52Fly me to outer space
00:38:56That's where I'll see your face
00:39:01And have you with me
00:39:06It may seem dark
00:39:10But you always like my spark
00:39:15You're distracting.
00:39:15In my heart
00:39:20Since the spark
00:39:22You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies
00:39:27We secretly married
00:39:30Honestly
00:39:31Right?
00:39:34I was sure I'd never find someone
00:39:36To make my head spin around
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be the thing I need
00:39:40They all just let me down
00:39:42But baby
00:39:43You saved me
00:39:45Till I'm brand new
00:39:47Everything's so different now
00:39:52So...
00:39:52The 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
00:40:16I'm winning
00:40:17There's a difference
00:40:19You are very distracting
00:40:21And you like it
00:40:23I will be there for you on day
00:40:26I'll be there in the darkest days
00:40:31I'll hold you in my arms
00:40:33Charles
00:40:34We need to talk
00:40:43I expected poor judgement
00:40:45But this in my house
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like
00:40:49No?
00:40:50Well...
00:40:51Kissing a servant's daughter
00:40:53In the family library
00:40:54Enlighten me then, Charles
00:40:56We came back tonight
00:40:57After speaking with Serena
00:40:59Imagine our surprise
00:41:00Walking in on
00:41:02This
00:41:02She isn't just
00:41:04You have no right
00:41:05To barge in
00:41:06On my property
00:41:10I care about her
00:41:12I'm not ashamed of that
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
00:41:25She 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...
00:41:43Are you sure
00:41:45She's ready?
00:41:52I'm asking you
00:41:53Do you think she's ready?
00:41:55To lose everything
00:41:56Regardless of how little that is
00:41:58Just to be with you
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:02You left us no choice son
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father
00:42:05Sir?
00:42:08Pelton
00:42:09It's Frederick Kenwood
00:42:11Ah, Mr. Kenwood
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student
00:42:15Were to violate our behavioural code
00:42:17In a public setting
00:42:19With photographic evidence
00:42:21Would that warrant a review?
00:42:23Yes sir
00:42:27So
00:42:28Answer me again
00:42:30Do you think she's ready
00:42:31To lose everything
00:42:32Just to be with you?
00:42:45Charles!
00:42:46What happened?
00:42:47Did your parents say something?
00:42:48Are they mad?
00:42:48Is everything okay?
00:42:50Pack your things
00:42:52You can't stay here anymore
00:42:55What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother
00:42:59She's leaving
00:43:00So you
00:43:01Wait, what?
00:43:02Why?
00:43:02Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this
00:43:05I'll get a job
00:43:06Stop, stop it
00:43:06You don't get it
00:43:08If I don't walk away from this
00:43:10They'll cut me off
00:43:12Okay?
00:43:13No card
00:43:14No trust
00:43:15No support
00:43:16Nothing
00:43:18Then...
00:43:18Then we'll figure it out
00:43:20We don't need all that
00:43:21We can...
00:43:23Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was?
00:43:30Just fun until it got inconvenient
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing
00:43:41They just reminded me of what's real
00:43:47Charles, I'm not stupid
00:43:49You 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
00:44:12I'm not, Alice
00:44:13Look around you
00:44:14This mansion you thought was a museum
00:44:18It's my house
00:44:20My world
00:44:22I was bored into this
00:44:23I am not choosing between this
00:44:28And something I picked up for a moment of fun
00:44:34Don't do this, Charles
00:44:35Don't do this, Charles
00:44:36You don't mean it
00:44:36Well, it was fine
00:44:38But with you
00:44:41You don't compare to what I own
00:44:44I've survived the loss
00:44:48Right
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
00:45:15This fall is a little more than I expected
00:45:21In so deep I can barely see myself
00:45:27Yeah, 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 that
00:46:06Then again, nobody does
00:46:09Move, please
00:46:12Try begging
00:46:18You know what, keep it
00:46:24Poor thing
00:46:26So dramatic
00:46:28Don't
00:46:30Excuse me
00:46:31I warned you
00:46:32Walk away, Serena
00:46:55Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:46:58Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:46:59But one pair surprised me
00:47:00In a good way
00:47:01Charles Kenwood
00:47:03And Alice Keaton
00:47:04Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08She loves the sound of her own voice
00:47:09Better have it
00:47:11I couldn't stay
00:47:11I couldn't wait
00:47:13I thought that you should know that I would have
00:47:18Can hang around
00:47:19Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:47:23Like logic and chaos
00:47:25Or silence and noise
00:47:28Different worlds, different rules
00:47:32At first glance they clash
00:47:34But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:47:39Confusion, curiosity
00:47:41But in the end
00:47:42Some 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
00:47:59And 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
00:48:09All right
00:48:10Thank you Alice
00:48:12That was...
00:48:13Lated
00:48:15Are you okay?
00:48:17A reminder
00:48:17That good literature
00:48:19Always stirs something
00:48:23Hello?
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
00:48:30Name your price, we'll make it work
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:34What?
00:48:36What?
00:48:44That's...
00:48:45Kind of...
00:48:46Insane
00:48:46Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:48:51Can...
00:48:51Can I meet them?
00:48:55I want to...
00:48:57Please...
00:48:58Or at least tell me a name
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay in office
00:49:04So they're only interested in words, not the person
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them
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 in yet
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:49:26That's iconic
00:49:28For your love
00:49:30I'll be
00:49:30Go around
00:49:32Go around
00:49:33Go around
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:38Yeah
00:49:38I'm so excited
00:49:39I'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
00:50:00You sure you don't want her to know?
00:50:03No
00:50:05No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:50:16Congratulations, Alice Keaton
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to
00:50:28Your engagement and advancement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:50:33And 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?
00:51:00Disengagement
00:51:01It's not happening
00:51:02It's not up to you, you know that
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this
00:51:07You've changed
00:51:11Or maybe I've finally just stopped pretending
00:51:37Or maybe I've finally just stopped pretending
00:51:43You're the sponsor
00:51:44You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time
00:51:49So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone
00:51:52Including her
00:51:54I protected her
00:51:56I protected her
00:51:57You loved her
00:51:59Still do
00:52:02Let it go, Serena
00:52:05There's no point
00:52:15I need a favour
00:52:16Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:52:19And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up
00:52:27Anything? No?
00:52:29She's not answering
00:52:31The interview's almost over
00:52:32Well, she won't just not show up
00:52:35Something's wrong
00:52:37Where's Alice?
00:52:39When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:41Last night
00:52:41She said she was prepping all evening
00:52:47James, track someone for me
00:52:51Wait, where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay?
00:53:01Who won't hurt you?
00:53:02Shit!
00:53:03Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview
00:53:06That's it
00:53:14Shit!
00:53:15Come back!
00:53:44I remember how it meant
00:53:48Didn't need a second guess
00:53:54Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:57Alice, hey, hey, hey, stay with me
00:53:58Stay with me
00:53:59Stay with me, Alice
00:54:00Alice
00:54:07You're awake?
00:54:09Where, where am I?
00:54:11Local clinic
00:54:12Passerby brought you in
00:54:15Passerby?
00:54:16He found you on the side of the road
00:54:18He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:54:21Oh
00:54:24The interview, what time is it?
00:54:25Easy
00:54:26Easy
00:54:27It's okay
00:54:27Someone already contacted the university
00:54:29And sent in your writing samples
00:54:32They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:54:34Wait, what, who?
00:54:35No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:54:41What did you say?
00:54:42Nothing
00:54:43Nothing
00:54:44I just
00:54:46Had a dream
00:55:11I just...
00:55:12Had a dream
00:55:14He left
00:55:14He left
00:55:15A few days ago
00:55:16Yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:19Honestly, Ashford's been quieter without him
00:55:21It's probably for the best
00:55:22Come on
00:55:22I couldn't stay
00:55:25I couldn't wait
00:55:27I thought that you should know
00:55:29That I would have
00:55:30And hang around
00:55:32The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud
00:55:37Chaotic
00:55:38Unexpected
00:55:41And with his absence
00:55:43Come on
00:55:45It ended quietly
00:55:48Like summers always do
00:55:50Fantasy
00:55:51Did you feel it from across the room
00:55:56Did you feel a little enchanted
00:56:02And joining us today
00:56:05The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:56:09Alice Keaton
00:56:10Thank you for having me
00:56:11No, your words moved millions
00:56:14They say your stories feel real
00:56:17Especially the ones about love
00:56:19Thank you
00:56:19Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:56:22How's your dating life like these days?
00:56:24No comment
00:56:25A little bird told me that the past four years
00:56:28Has been just writing and working
00:56:31Not even a single date
00:56:32Let me guess a bird named Shiri
00:56:34She caught me
00:56:35Still no comment
00:56:36Alright, alright
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
00:56:45I did
00:56:46That's why today we're here sharing the story
00:56:47That's why today we're sharing the story
00:56:48Behind Alice Keaton
00:56:50And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:53And let's give it up for Alice Keaton
00:56:56One more time
00:57:07Congratulations Alice
00:57:08The numbers just came in
00:57:09You broke your own record
00:57:12That's incredible
00:57:14We're thinking celebration
00:57:15Press
00:57:16Photos
00:57:17Maybe tonight
00:57:18Actually
00:57:20There's something I'd rather do
00:57:22I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:57:26My sponsor
00:57:27You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah
00:57:29Just once
00:57:32Tonight
00:57:327pm
00:57:43Good evening
00:57:49Good evening
00:57:53May I sit?
00:57:58Hey Mr. Nonchalant
00:58:03Hi
00:58:04Hi
00:58:07You look well
00:58:10And 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
00:58:30Hope you liked the attention
00:58:31I just wanted to say congratulations
00:58:35Oh
00:58:35Thank you
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading
00:58:40You were rich enough not to do so
00:58:44Always
00:58:46Either way
00:58:47Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:50So...
00:58:50No
00:58:51No...
00:58:51You weren't everything
00:58:56Every word
00:58:57Every page
00:59:00Every reader
00:59:02That's what I came to say
00:59:07It was good to see you again
00:59:09I hope
00:59:10Charles
00:59:12Can you just
00:59:14Wait a little longer
00:59:22I think I knew it was you
00:59:24I think I knew it was you
00:59:26There was one email
00:59:28You said something
00:59:29Felt familiar
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kinda had that
00:59:33Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:59:36Very on brand
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar
00:59:39Too 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
01:00:09Thank you
01:00:11And
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
01:00:21You didn't have to come
01:00:23You didn't have to come
01:00:24Don't tell me what I have to do
01:00:28No
01:00:46If 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
01:01:07I see
01:01:11I 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
01:01:20Because 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
01:01:47But you made a choice for me
01:01:51Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:01:56I would have chosen you anyway?
01:02:03I 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
01:02:43I'm still in love with you, you know
01:02:44Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:02:47You'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
01:03:08The last thing is better to go
01:03:19Stop quoting yourself
01:03:20I recycle, it saves energy
01:03:23This feels wildly irresponsible
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer
01:03:27You're the one who wants called romance a distraction
01:03:30I said that?
01:03:31Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:03:33Still is
01:03:35You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:03:41That is cute to me
01:03:43Don't you dare quote poetry
01:03:44I wasn't going to
01:03:46I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:48Then shut up
01:03:50And prove it
01:03:57I still can't believe this is happening
01:03:59I told you, they're either worst enemies or secretly married
01:04:03And I told you, they're both
01:04:11Guys
01:04:12No
01:04:18I vow to always, tell you the truth
01:04:20I'll pass off to jeemai
01:04:30I vow to always tell you the truth
01:04:34We'll pass off to jeemai
01:04:34Except for when you ask how your cooking was, then I lie, respectfully.
01:04:41I vow to keep choosing you, loudly, quietly, always.
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 soccer though.
01:05:01I vow to argue with you at least twice a week, especially over Shakespeare.
01:05:06I vow to write you into every story, even when I say I didn't.
01:05:11You will always be part of my life.
01:05:14If she quotes Austen in this toast, I'm out.
01:05:17No you're not, you're gonna cry harder.
01:05:42I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:05:44Such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:05:48Guard your phone.
01:05:49Relax, just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:05:55You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:05:59Please, Alice, go change.
01:06:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:06:07No.
01:06:08No, 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.
01:06:26You will find your way home.
01:06:33This is very good.
01:06:35No.
01:06:40No, you need to be there.
01:06:46David, Jesse.
01:06:49What are you guys thinking about it?
01:06:51Are you kidding me?
01:06:52My King.
01:06:55Good night.
01:06:55OK, right here.
01:07:02It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:07:08Help us develop, learn, and grow.
