00:02:00sleeping from everything if anything Charles Miss Keaton will be a positive
00:02:05influence on you she was top of her class at a previous school with all due

00:02:24back to Goldie thank you you got it I'm Sherry Vaughn Alice Keaton it's very important that we look at
00:02:33what he's talking about their experience of the time
00:02:39wait you sat next to Charles she didn't you totally shut her down oh knew it don't take it
00:02:46personally he's impossible can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants
00:02:51what he's hot everyone kind of is I I've seen Connor he's not my type you're joking I don't find
00:03:01bullies attractive hey be careful we're talking about the king of Ashford the what his family

00:03:15one can get past his ego you're not the first to get nice okay first of all I wasn't iced
00:03:21it's more
00:03:21like a mutual decision and second I think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you
00:03:29really look at Charles he just seems isolated like he's making honestly I just think he's lonely and
00:03:36kind of pathetic what no go on you were saying I'm lonely and pathetic next time read the room

00:06:32see I'm not actually moving in that's up yeah I'm not staying here like at all that's a shame you
00:06:40must
00:06:40seem quite pleased with the arrangement well I just don't think it's appropriate well you're sure then
00:06:46absolutely not come on Alice you must stay it'll be fun my dear classmate I'm dead like mentally socially
00:07:04and actually dead just trying to figure out how exactly my life went off the rails get it together
00:07:18Alice Keaton you've been through hell actually no this is hell good morning
00:07:46Alice Keaton what thing doesn't know that stops been closed for months she's going to be late
00:07:59okay how long is this thing gonna take maybe I'll just walk five miles to school
00:08:07okay if I sprint maybe I'll make it before first period or die of exhaustion on the way
00:08:20what what are you doing here didn't you already leave
00:08:26wait did you come back for me relax I forgot my textbook don't flatter yourself wait
00:08:39since you're already here maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride
00:08:48no seriously your car is huge yeah and I'm not a fan of sharing says the guy who forced me
00:08:58to live in
00:08:59his house unbelievable
00:09:13Ashford Institute please thank you
00:09:20who needs an entitled brat anyway sir you called the cab why not just give miss Keaton a lift
00:09:32why not just give miss Keaton a lift and have the whole school go crazy she's new everybody's
00:09:38already talking so you're worried about her you're overthinking I just don't like drama
00:09:51asshole hey morning class back to Golding remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:10:04Mr Kenwood care to share what you found so amusing
00:10:08not particularly oh I insist you seem very entertained by Golding
00:10:14I'm not entertained by Golding sir on the contrary I think his ending is weak
00:10:22wait wait do I actually read it quiet
00:10:28that's an interesting take explain
00:10:32he had the set up for something brutal something honest in the end he backed out he could have left
00:10:39the boys on the island force them to confront the collapse of all morality let them choose survival
00:10:45or death but instead he gave them a rescue boat slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:10:56it's a waste don't you think I'm delightfully surprised Charles didn't think you had such strong
00:11:02literary opinions I'm always a model student sir let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:11:09so a critique of Golding's mercy anyone disagree
00:11:29I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way it's not mercy it's irony
00:11:35how so
00:11:38the rescue isn't a happy ending you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:11:44Golding didn't save them he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:11:48that's an interesting take Miss Keeter you still think it's a harsh critique
00:11:53in some ways but not harsh enough yes it's a critique of toxic masculinity but still Golding
00:12:02sympathize with them and the civilized world toxic violent he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:12:07so yeah I don't think Golding pushed far enough but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:12:16thank you Miss Keeter well said anyone else
00:12:23both opinions are valid okay that's kind of epic Golding faced major backlash when he first published
00:12:30the book good literature will always divide what's happening to me
00:12:43okay what is going on why is everyone staring at me well you're new and apparently had a thing
00:12:49with Charles oh what now you two are in the middle of this epic feud as your teen in years
00:12:56we're not
00:12:56even fighting well according to everyone you confessed your love on day one got rejected
00:13:01begged to sit next to him got rejected again and today in class you broke down crying about not
00:13:08believing in happy endings and stormed out in tears you were there Sherry that is not what happened
00:13:17doesn't matter people believe what they want to believe and they want Charles to be flawless
00:13:23untouchable wow is massage any like a rich kid thing or is a British specialty honestly both but
00:13:31seriously Alice some people already see you as a threat okay loaded it's like the new girls in for a
00:13:46rough
00:13:47first semester hello hello is somebody out there

00:15:00yikes looks like the new girls in for a rough first semester
00:15:09shit
00:15:14Alice
00:15:15Alice
00:15:16Mr Pelton Charles Kenwood here I was wondering if I could get the timetable for Alice Keaton
00:15:21she hasn't come home she hasn't come home I'll have it sent over check the common room in the library
00:15:26I'll take the rest

00:16:19Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:25What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:31No.
00:16:41You're welcome.
00:16:42I didn't say thank you.
00:16:44I figured saving your life might turn me basic manners.
00:16:47Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:16:50Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:16:52You smell like a biology experiment.
00:16:54Wow.
00:16:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:16:59I wouldn't recommend it.
00:17:01You're heavier than you look.
00:17:04I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:17:11Are you okay?
00:17:13No, but I will be.
00:17:16Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:18What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:20Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:17:22You shouldn't have to.
00:17:26I'm...
00:17:27Sorry.
00:17:34Sorry.
00:17:39Did you just apologize to me?
00:17:42Don't get used to it.
00:17:43I wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:47Alice?
00:17:48Over here.
00:17:50Oh my God.
00:17:52You okay?
00:17:55Why are you drenched?
00:17:57Yeah, I just took a weird shower.
00:18:00Top exploded.
00:18:03Come on, let's go you home.
00:18:15Alice's cheating, right?
00:18:17I heard she staged the whole thing for attention.
00:18:22Yeah.
00:18:22Yeah.
00:18:23Yeah.
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:26Yeah.
00:18:26Yeah.
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:43I know how this place works.
00:18:45If you don't do anything about it, it's only going to get worse.
00:18:50I'll look into it.
00:18:52Charles?
00:18:55Good on you.
00:18:56How many here would speak up?
00:19:02I can't believe someone actually locked you in.
00:19:04That's insane.
00:19:05Where the hell was the school when this was happening?
00:19:08Busy protecting their golden boys and trust friends.
00:19:11Well, for what it's worth, I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:17Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:20Please.
00:19:21He just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:36Being a scholarship student has its perks, like saving a fortune on tuition and getting
00:19:42into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:51But sometimes, being here means staying behind, and watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week
00:19:58enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:02Have fun.
00:20:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:11The trip cost 20 grand in pounds, which translates to mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:17So, yeah, I didn't go.
00:20:39Uh, what are you doing here?
00:20:41Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:45It's comfortable.
00:20:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:48This, this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:50And this is not even your house.
00:20:52And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:55Just don't look.
00:20:56Go away.
00:20:57Hard not to, when you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:00What do you guys call it?
00:21:02Um, buzzkill?
00:21:05Cockblock.
00:21:06You're insufferable.
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:09You know what?
00:21:10I don't get it.
00:21:11Why didn't you go on that tour?
00:21:12I thought rich people live for that kind of thing.
00:21:14Why do you think?
00:21:21How would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:26Florence, walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian.
00:21:32Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:36Venice, then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal and getting lost in the most confusing
00:21:40city on earth.
00:21:42Next stop, Napoli.
00:21:44Marvel at Pompeii.
00:21:45Pretend you're shocked.
00:21:47Ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:48The final stop, Paris.
00:21:50The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:01That's word for word.
00:22:03I told you.
00:22:04I've done this tour so many times I could run it.
00:22:07Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:22:09Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:22:14Twice.
00:22:16Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels.
00:22:23No, thank you.
00:22:25Wow.
00:22:26Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27That's unfortunate.
00:22:28It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:30One word of advice?
00:22:31Shut up.
00:22:32That's two words.
00:22:35You're weird.
00:22:36You're loud.
00:22:37You're annoying.
00:22:37You're in my kitchen.
00:22:38You have three other kitchens.
00:22:40And I prefer this one.
00:22:42Just for today.
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:46You didn't have to come.
00:22:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:57Master Charles, roads are flooded.
00:22:59Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:00Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:05I've got it sorted.
00:23:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:23:20Relax.
00:23:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:23:25What deal?
00:23:25You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:23:31You'll survive.
00:23:33I'm not selling my body.
00:23:38I'm not selling my body.
00:23:44Wow.
00:23:45I am deeply offended.
00:23:48That thought disgusts me.
00:23:50Then what are you doing?
00:23:51The staff's off tonight.
00:23:53I'm buying dinner.
00:23:57Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:24:00No, I'm- I-
00:24:01Jesus.
00:24:03Wait.
00:24:04You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:08I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort you back up.
00:24:11You know what?
00:24:11Dinner's cancelled.
00:24:15Are you sure about that?
00:24:18I present to you.
00:24:20Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:23You're welcome.
00:24:25Interesting combo.
00:24:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this will do.
00:24:31It's good.
00:24:38Was that a compliment?
00:24:40Although, I am obliged to inform you.
00:24:43Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:24:45It's American.
00:24:46And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:24:49You should read more.
00:24:52Put it down.
00:24:54I paid for it.
00:24:55You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:57To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:25:02It's only easy because it costs you a hundred pounds.
00:25:05You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:25:07I'll make sure.
00:25:23Hey, Alice, it's fine.
00:25:26You're fine.
00:25:33911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:39911, what's with your emergency?
00:25:41It's my dad.
00:25:42He needs help.
00:25:43He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, miss.
00:25:45Hurricane's constant traffic shut down.
00:25:47Get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:49I understand.
00:25:51Can you confirm your address?
00:25:54Dad, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56Hi.
00:25:58My daughter.
00:26:00Please stay with me, Dad.
00:26:01Please.
00:26:06No.
00:26:08Please wake up.
00:26:13Dad, please.
00:26:15Please don't leave me.
00:26:23You...
00:26:23No.
00:26:23No.
00:26:24No.
00:26:48What are you doing here?
00:26:54You were crying. Loudly. Kind of hard to ignore.
00:27:00Right. Sorry for the night.
00:27:04Wait, did you know Snarky come back?
00:27:06Not tonight. I'm too tired. If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:16A hurricane hit New York. Power went down, traffic froze. Dad had a stroke.
00:27:24But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:28I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:35Peaceful.
00:27:36Like he was asleep.
00:27:39But he wasn't.
00:27:43So that's why you and your mum moved here?
00:27:47This used to be our hometown.
00:27:50After dad left, we had nowhere else to go.
00:27:59What are you doing?
00:28:04Come on.
00:28:20Wait. I thought the peril was out.
00:28:23It is. We have our own generator.
00:28:26Wow. Rich people houses her.
00:28:29Just for tonight, I'll allow it.
00:28:33Allow what?
00:28:34You can call this place your house.
00:28:36So enjoy it.
00:28:38Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:40Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:42Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:43All yours.
00:28:49This is your home.
00:28:51Alice Keaton.
00:28:57Careful.
00:28:59Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02Okay then.
00:29:05I have...
00:29:07one request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait.
00:29:21Give me a second.
00:29:23I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:28And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:29:30inside a literal mansion,
00:29:32you chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Got a problem?
00:29:36It's just so cool.
00:29:37Like,
00:29:38spies or genius villains in movies.
00:29:41It's literally a board game.
00:29:42Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:29:45Wait.
00:29:46Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:48The tenth time,
00:29:49it moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:58Happy.
00:29:59Ecstatic.
00:30:01You know.
00:30:02That's a suicide.
00:30:04Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:06You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:30:08Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:09You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:11Golding disagrees.
00:30:13It's going to be a long night.
00:30:15Oh my...
00:30:15No.
00:30:16Why?
00:30:16What's wrong with that?
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:18I don't know.
00:30:19I don't know.
00:30:19Can I do that at all?
00:30:20I'm not glad.
00:30:20Can I do that at all?
00:30:21You had to shop a different about it all on.
00:30:24I'm glad to pull you in close
00:30:26As we're locked on your phone.
00:30:28All yourself work cause I'm moving on.
00:30:31Oh yeah.
00:30:33Showing up at my door.
00:30:36Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:40Maybe he's not so awful after all.
00:30:50Um, who are you?
00:30:57What are you doing here?
00:30:58Well, your parents said you were still at home.
00:31:01Thank God you skipped that boring grand tour.
00:31:03Who needs Italy and France again, right?
00:31:06When did you get back?
00:31:07Last night.
00:31:08From Zurich.
00:31:09You didn't answer my messages.
00:31:12I missed you.
00:31:14Anyway, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:31:16Apparently, I'm transferring to Ashford.
00:31:19Your parents were so thrilled.
00:31:21They didn't tell me about this.
00:31:22I wanted to deliver the happy news myself.
00:31:25They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:31:28You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:31:32Engagement.
00:31:33Oh, did no one tell you?
00:31:36He's promised.
00:31:38Old money stuff.
00:31:39Very retro.
00:31:40I didn't agree to that.
00:31:41You didn't have to.
00:31:42It's never up to us.
00:31:45Where did you find this little toy?
00:31:48Serena.
00:31:48I didn't hear you, you know.
00:31:50Oh, an American.
00:31:53How refreshing.
00:31:58Goodbye.
00:31:59Wait.
00:32:15Where are you going?
00:32:17You still owe me breakfast.
00:32:19You only paid for dinner.
00:32:21I had homework.
00:32:22Goodbye.
00:32:26Your little toy has quite the tempest.
00:32:28Serena, can you please just stop?
00:32:30What?
00:32:31Teasing the help?
00:32:38That's her.
00:32:39That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:32:42Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:44Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:32:59Oh my god, what's wrong with people?
00:33:02They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:04Oh, and Serena.
00:33:05What about her?
00:33:06Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:10Of course she did.
00:33:24Careful, Alice.
00:33:25You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:41Come to the music room.
00:33:43Urgent.
00:33:44I just remembered I need to check something.
00:33:47You guys go ahead.
00:33:47Yeah, okay.
00:33:54Help!
00:33:55Is someone there?
00:33:57Seriously!
00:33:58This is getting old!
00:34:11Wait.
00:34:13Music room?
00:34:14What?
00:34:16James?
00:34:17Was anybody in here earlier?
00:34:19Just Miss Serena.
00:34:20Said she was waiting for you.
00:34:23Sir?
00:34:25Sir, it's raining!
00:34:37Come on, Alice, you're fine.
00:34:40You're not that girl again.
00:34:48Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:34:51Okay.
00:34:53Rooks move in straight lines.
00:34:54Yeah.
00:34:55Bishops move diagonally.
00:34:57And knights...
00:34:58The knight's the weird one.
00:35:04Rooks.
00:35:06Straight lines.
00:35:08Bishops.
00:35:10Diagonally.
00:35:12Hello?
00:35:31The text.
00:35:33Are you okay?
00:35:35Are you hurt?
00:35:36I...
00:35:36I'm okay.
00:35:38I...
00:35:38I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:40I...
00:35:40I didn't see the message.
00:35:42Serena took my phone.
00:35:43I...
00:35:43I didn't know.
00:35:44I'm sorry.
00:35:45I'm...
00:35:46Okay.
00:35:48You're gonna catch a cold.
00:35:49You're freezing.
00:35:50You didn't have to come.
00:35:54Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:35:56Give me hope that feels like hope...
00:36:19That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:36:23I...
00:36:23I...
00:36:24Wasn't going to.
00:36:37Really bad at this, you know.
00:36:40What?
00:36:41Kissing?
00:36:41Hiding feelings.
00:37:05Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:06Oh, you wish.
00:37:10Seriously.
00:37:11It's a cock block.
00:37:13You kissed me.
00:37:15That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:23Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:37:25I might hold you to that.
00:37:27Pfft.
00:37:28Pfft.
00:37:29Pfft.
00:37:30Pfft.
00:37:33Pfft.
00:37:34Pfft.
00:37:35Pfft.
00:37:35Pfft.
00:37:36Pfft.
00:37:36You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:37:39The list is on the board.
00:37:43One, two, three, four...
00:37:48Are you okay?
00:37:49Fly me to outer space.
00:37:54That's where I'll see your face.
00:37:58And have you with me.
00:38:03It may seem dark, but you always lie to my spark in my heart since the start of my mind.
00:38:23They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:27Honestly, both.
00:38:31I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:38:35No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:38:37They all just let me down.
00:38:39But baby, you saved me.
00:38:42Time pen new.
00:38:45Everything's so different now.
00:38:48So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:38:52Why is that the only one you remember?
00:38:54Because it's weird, and I like weird.
00:39:06Check.
00:39:12You're cheating.
00:39:13I'm winning.
00:39:15There's a difference.
00:39:16You are very distracting.
00:39:18And you like it.
00:39:20I will be the four new day.
00:39:23I'll be in the dark and space.
00:39:28Hold you in my arms.
00:39:30Charles.
00:39:32We need to talk.
00:39:40I expected poor judgment.
00:39:43But this in my house?
00:39:45It isn't what it looks like.
00:39:46No.
00:39:47Kissing a servant's daughter in the family library.
00:39:51Enlighten me then, Charles.
00:39:52We came back tonight after speaking with Serena.
00:39:56Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:39:59She isn't just...
00:40:01You have no right to barge in.
00:40:03On my property.
00:40:07I care about her.
00:40:09I'm not ashamed of that.
00:40:10That's enough.
00:40:14Why do you care?
00:40:15We're protecting our son's future.
00:40:18And our name.
00:40:20You think this protects me?
00:40:21We think she does not belong in your world.
00:40:28Then maybe I don't either.
00:40:31You're ready to give up everything.
00:40:33For a girl you barely know?
00:40:38Yes.
00:40:39Then are you sure she's ready?
00:40:48I'm asking you.
00:40:50Do you think she's ready to lose everything, regardless of how little that is, just to be with you?
00:40:56What are you talking about?
00:40:58You left us no choice, son.
00:41:00You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:41:04Hilton.
00:41:05It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:41:07Ah, Mr. Kenwood.
00:41:09How can I help?
00:41:10If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioral code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant
00:41:18a review?
00:41:20Do you think she's ready to lose everything, just to be with you?
00:41:20Yes, sir.
00:41:23So, answer me again.
00:41:27Do you think she's ready to lose everything, just to be with you?
00:41:42Charles, what happened?
00:41:43Did your parents say something?
00:41:44Are they mad?
00:41:44Is everything okay?
00:41:46Pack your things.
00:41:49You can't stay here anymore.
00:41:51What?
00:41:53My parents fired your mother.
00:41:55She's leaving.
00:41:56So are you.
00:41:57Wait, what?
00:41:58Why?
00:41:59Is it because of us?
00:42:00We can fix this.
00:42:01I'll get a job.
00:42:02Stop, stop.
00:42:03You don't get it.
00:42:05If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:42:07Okay?
00:42:09No card.
00:42:10No trust.
00:42:11No support.
00:42:13No support.
00:42:14Then...
00:42:15Then we'll figure it out.
00:42:16We don't need all that.
00:42:18We can...
00:42:19Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:42:24So that's what this was.
00:42:26Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:42:30What did they promise you?
00:42:34Nothing.
00:42:38They just reminded me of what's real.
00:42:44Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:42:46You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:42:49What did they threaten you with?
00:42:56What did they threaten you with?
00:42:58This is the difference between me and you.
00:43:00What?
00:43:01You think you know me.
00:43:03Or what I have.
00:43:05You don't, Alice.
00:43:07You're still lying.
00:43:08I'm not, Alice.
00:43:10Look around you.
00:43:11This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:43:14It's my house.
00:43:16My world.
00:43:18I was bored into this.
00:43:20I am not choosing between this.
00:43:24And something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:43:30Don't do this, Charles.
00:43:32You don't mean it.
00:43:33It was fine.
00:43:34But you?
00:43:37You don't compare to what I own.
00:43:41I'll survive the loss.
00:43:44Right.
00:43:47I should have known.
00:43:50Guys like you don't end up with girls like me.
00:43:55You play with them, then you throw them away.
00:43:59Go to sleep, Alice.
00:44:00Let's slow the frozen bed.
00:44:03I'm going to go to sleep.
00:44:08Now let's go.
00:44:10I'm gonna check out.
00:44:11Why?
00:44:12This fall is a little more than I expected.
00:44:17In so deep I can barely see myself.
00:44:24Yeah, around me feels so heavy but depleted
00:44:30But I find just a place to test myself
00:44:42Oops
00:45:00Oh sorry, didn't see that
00:45:02Then again, nobody does
00:45:04Move please
00:45:06Hmm, try begging
00:45:14You know what, keep it
00:45:20Poor thing, so dramatic
00:45:24Don't
00:45:25Excuse me
00:45:27I warned you
00:45:29Walk away Serena
00:45:50Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable
00:45:54But one pair surprised me
00:45:56In a good way
00:45:58Charles Kenwood
00:45:59And Alice Keaton
00:46:00Would you mind giving us her short summary?
00:46:04She loves the sound of her own voice
00:46:05Better have it
00:46:06I couldn't stay
00:46:07I couldn't wait
00:46:09I thought that you should know that I would have
00:46:13Can hang around
00:46:14Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet
00:46:19Like logic and chaos
00:46:21Or silence and noise
00:46:23Different worlds, different rules
00:46:28At first glance, they clash
00:46:30But what makes the story interesting is what happens next
00:46:34Confusion
00:46:35Curiosity
00:46:36But in the end, some stories aren't about staying
00:46:40And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:52And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending
00:46:56Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:01Miss Keaton
00:47:03Dramatic as always
00:47:05Alright
00:47:06Thank you Alice
00:47:07That was
00:47:08Laid
00:47:11Are you okay?
00:47:12A reminder
00:47:13That good literature
00:47:14Always stirs something
00:47:19Hello?
00:47:20Hi, here's Alice Keaton
00:47:21This is Whitmore Press
00:47:22We've been following your work
00:47:23We'd like to offer you a long term publishing contract
00:47:26Name your price
00:47:27We'll...
00:47:27We'll make it work
00:47:28Sorry, what?
00:47:33That's...
00:47:34Kind of...
00:47:35Insane
00:47:35Who's behind this?
00:47:37Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous
00:47:40Can...
00:47:40Can I meet them?
00:47:44I want to
00:47:45Please
00:47:46Or at least tell me a name
00:47:52Sorry, they wish to stay in office
00:47:53So they're only interested in work, not the person
00:47:55I'd really like to meet them
00:47:57I'm sorry Miss Keaton
00:47:58They were very good
00:47:59I think the most generous offer we've ever given in New York City

00:48:44You got the contract
00:48:47Good
00:48:48It's a generous deal
00:48:49You sure you don't want her to know?
00:48:52No
00:48:54No, it's better if I stay out of her life
00:49:06Congratulations Alice Keaton
00:49:08Go live the life you were always meant to
00:49:15Your engagement announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala
00:49:20And the Browns already offered to host the London reception
00:49:25It's all coming together beautifully
00:49:31I've lost my appetite
00:49:35I'll go check on him
00:49:42What's your problem Charles?
00:49:47This engagement
00:49:49Is not happening
00:49:50It's not up to you
00:49:51You know that
00:49:52Serena we're not doing this

00:51:58oh
00:52:01Shit! Come back!
00:52:31I remember how it meant
00:52:35Didn't need a second guess
00:52:40Hey, hey, hey Alice, Alice
00:52:43Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me Alice
00:52:53You're awake?
00:52:55Where, where am I?
00:52:57A local clinic. Passer-by brought you in
00:53:01Passer-by?
00:53:02He found you on the side of the road
00:53:04He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:53:08Oh
00:53:10The interview, what time is it?
00:53:12Easy, it's okay
00:53:13Someone already contacted the university
00:53:16and sent in your writing samples
00:53:18They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:53:20Wait, what, who?
00:53:21No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:53:27What did you say?
00:53:29Nothing
00:53:30I just
00:53:32had a dream
00:53:43I got in!
00:53:45Oh, I knew it!
00:53:50Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:53:53He's not here
00:53:55Oh, you didn't know?
00:53:58Know what?
00:53:59He left
00:54:00A few days ago, yeah
00:54:02Everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:54:04Honestly, Astra's been quieter without him
00:54:06It's probably for the best
00:54:08Come on
00:54:08I hate
00:54:09I couldn't stay
00:54:10I couldn't wait
00:54:12I thought that you should know
00:54:15I thought that you should know
00:54:15I would have
00:54:16And hang around
00:54:18The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud
00:54:22Chaotic
00:54:23Unexpected
00:54:27And with his absence
00:54:28Come on
00:54:30It ended quietly
00:54:34Like summers always do
00:54:48And joining us today
00:54:50The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:54:54Alice Keaton
00:54:55Thank you for having me
00:54:56Now, your words moved millions
00:54:59They say your stories feel real
00:55:02Especially the ones about love
00:55:04Thank you
00:55:05Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:55:07How's your dating life like these days?
00:55:10No comment
00:55:11A little bird told me that the past four years
00:55:14Has been just writing and working
00:55:16Not even a single date
00:55:17Let me guess a bird named Sherry
00:55:19Oh, she caught me
00:55:20Still no comment
00:55:21Alright, alright
00:55:22No matter what you say
00:55:24You write love like someone who's lived it
00:55:28If you're so real
00:55:29Because once
00:55:30I did
00:55:31With someone who felt like chaos and clarity
00:55:34That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's
00:55:36And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:55:38And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time
00:55:52Congratulations Alice
00:55:53The numbers just came in
00:55:55You broke your own record
00:55:58That's incredible
00:55:59We're thinking celebration?
00:56:01Press?
00:56:02Photos?
00:56:03Maybe tonight?
00:56:03Actually
00:56:05There's something I'd rather do
00:56:08I'd like to meet with the person who believed in me first
00:56:12My sponsor
00:56:13You're sure?
00:56:15Yeah
00:56:15Just once
00:56:17Tonight
00:56:187pm
00:56:30Good evening
00:56:34Good evening
00:56:35Good evening
00:56:38May I sit?
00:56:48Hi
00:56:50Hi
00:56:53You look well
00:56:56And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:56:59You always did
00:57:01You were expecting someone else
00:57:04I was
00:57:06Hoping
00:57:08But I guess I always knew
00:57:10I didn't come here to confuse you
00:57:13Or to reopen anything
00:57:16I just wanted to say congratulations
00:57:20Oh
00:57:21Thank you
00:57:24I didn't know you're still reading
00:57:26You were rich enough not to do so
00:57:29Always
00:57:31Either way
00:57:33Your sponsorship started my career
00:57:34So
00:57:35No
00:57:35No
00:57:37You've earned everything
00:57:41Every word
00:57:43Every page
00:57:45Every reader
00:57:47That's what I came to say
00:57:53It was good to see you again
00:57:54It was good to see you again
00:57:55I hope
00:57:55Charles
00:57:57Can you just
00:58:00Wait a little longer
00:58:07I think I knew it was you
00:58:09I think I knew it was you
00:58:10There was one email
00:58:13You said something
00:58:15Felt familiar
00:58:16Really?
00:58:17Kinda had that
00:58:18Rich asshole with a conscious energy
00:58:21Very on brand
00:58:23I should have anonymized my grammar
00:58:24Too late
00:58:25Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:58:28Still the only girl I know
00:58:30Who flirts through punctuation
00:58:31Still the only guy I know
00:58:33Who uses wiles unironically
00:58:37You've changed
00:58:39But
00:58:41Not really
00:58:43You haven't changed
00:58:46But
00:58:46Maybe you've grown into who you really were
00:58:51There
00:58:52I wanted to say
00:58:54Thank you
00:58:56And
00:58:58Thanks for being here tonight
00:59:00You didn't have to come
00:59:02Don't tell me what I have to do
00:59:04You didn't have to come
00:59:09Don't tell me
00:59:11What I have to do
00:59:31If you could go back
00:59:33If you had the chance to do it all again
00:59:35Would you do anything differently?
00:59:42No
00:59:47No
00:59:48No
00:59:52I see
00:59:56I know my answer now
00:59:57I didn't have the power back then
01:00:00Not enough to protect you
01:00:02I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me
01:00:05Because of my name
01:00:07My family
01:00:10I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything
01:00:13So you just disappeared
01:00:14Without a word
01:00:18If you had the chance to see the world
01:00:20Without me weighing you down
01:00:23If you still chose me after that
01:00:29You keep saying you wanted to give me a choice
01:00:32But you made a choice for me
01:00:36Did it ever cross your mind that maybe
01:00:40Maybe
01:00:41I would have chosen you anyway
01:00:48I don't think I was the smart choice
01:00:51You weren't
01:00:54But
01:00:54I never claimed to be that smart
01:01:04This is me
01:01:05Right
01:01:14I'm still mad at you, you know
01:01:18I'm still in love with you, you know
01:01:28Do you want to come in for a bit?
01:01:32You're asking your ex
01:01:33Who you haven't seen in four years
01:01:36To come into your hotel
01:01:38At approximately 11pm
01:01:41You were right
01:01:43You never were that smart
01:01:45You don't have to come
01:01:46Don't tell me what I have to do
01:01:50It's almost like you see
01:01:52Where's things better go
01:02:03Stop quoting yourself
01:02:04I recycle
01:02:05It saves energy
01:02:08This feels wildly irresponsible
01:02:10You sound like a disclaimer
01:02:11You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:02:14I said that
01:02:15Yeah
01:02:15Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:02:18Still is
01:02:20You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:02:25That is cute to me
01:02:27Don't you dare quote poetry
01:02:29What's it going, Sarah?
01:02:30I forgot all over the day you left
01:02:33Then shut up
01:02:35And prove it
01:02:42I still can't believe this is happening
01:02:43I told you
01:02:44They're either worst enemies
01:02:46Or secretly married
01:02:47And I told you
01:02:47They're both
01:02:52It's more than enough to let the ride
01:02:56The world makes me feel
01:03:02It's enough to let folks let it be
01:03:10It's enough to let folks let it be
01:03:15I vow to always tell you the truth
01:03:18Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:03:21Then I lie
01:03:23Respectfully
01:03:25I vow to keep choosing you
01:03:28Loudly
01:03:30Quietly
01:03:31Always
01:03:33Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:03:37Is he actually good at this?
01:03:39I mean, he did beat her at soccer though
01:03:45I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:03:47Especially over Shakespeare
01:03:50I vow to write you into every story
01:03:53Even when I say I didn't
01:03:55You will always be part of my life
01:03:58If she quotes Austin in this toast
01:04:00I'm out
01:04:00No you're not, you're gonna cry harder
01:04:02I hate you
01:04:03For the rest of life
