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.
00:01:35Someone.
00:01:43I'm stuck in space.
00:01:45Got a day dream running through my brain every day.
00:01:52Heaven in my dead.
00:01:54I'm worse.
00:01:56I'm sorry, I almost alright.
00:01:56One day, anyway.
00:02:00I want to shake it down.
00:02:03Okay
00:02:05Morning class
00:02:08and
00:02:09You're not seated because I
00:02:12Don't have a seat. Oh a new transfer Alice Keaton, right? Let's see
00:02:21Yeah, there's a spot next to Charles
00:02:26Seriously the charity case sitting next to Charles God why is she even quiet?
00:02:33Charles
00:02:36I've always had words for everything, but in that moment I
00:02:43Forgot them all
00:02:53Charles move your things
00:02:56I'd rather not she'll be a distraction from what?
00:03:00sleeping
00:03:02From everything if anything Charles miss Keaton will be a positive influence on you. She was top of her class
00:03:08at a previous school
00:03:10With all due respect sir, her previous school was American I
00:03:15Highly doubt that
00:03:18That's enough
00:03:20She can sit here. It's fine
00:03:24Back to Goldie. Thank you. You got it. I'm Sherry Vaughan. Alice Keaton
00:03:29It's very important that we look at the
00:03:32What do you think about their experience of the time?
00:03:39Wait, you sat next to Charles? She didn't. You totally shut her down. Oh, knew it
00:03:45Don't take it personally. He's impossible
00:03:47Can everyone stop acting like the goal is getting into his pants?
00:03:51What? He's hot. Everyone kind of is
00:03:56I've seen Connor
00:03:58He's not my type. You're joking. I don't find bullies attractive. Hey, be careful
00:04:03You're talking about the king of Ashford
00:04:06The what? His family basically owned the school and the town maybe even the country
00:04:12Yeah, everyone's tried to get close. No one can get past his ego
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 out
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
00:04:58Read the room
00:04:58Before 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
00:05:30Really?
00:05:31How's your new job?
00:05:32Yeah, alright
00:05:33Get this, they said we can stay in the servant's wing
00:05:36Seriously?
00:05:37Hmm, apparently the young master won't mind the company
00:05:40The young master
00:05:43This 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
00:05:50It's a museum with better landscaping
00:05:58Wait here, I'll talk to the butler
00:06:06Wow, rich people
00:06:08You've topped yourselves again
00:06:13Stephen King
00:06:15First edition
00:06:17Stephen
00:06:26I'm breaking and entering now
00:06:27How American of you
00:06:30I...
00:06:40You've been paying rent
00:06:42Here in my head
00:06:44Trying to fight it hard
00:06:51You can get up now
00:06:53I... I'm trying
00:06:56Wait!
00:06:57Are you serious?
00:06:59Well, you said you were trying
00:07:03What is wrong with you?
00:07:05Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing
00:07:07What are you doing in my house?
00:07:11You...
00:07:13Wait...
00:07:13Your house?
00:07:14My house, my library
00:07:16And now, apparently, my unwanted guest
00:07:22Ah, Master Charles
00:07:23You must be Miss Alice, Anne's daughter
00:07:25She said you'd be moving in today
00:07:27She what?
00:07:28There...
00:07:29There's been some kind of misunderstanding
00:07:31You see, I'm not actually moving in
00:07:33Is that so?
00:07:35Yeah, I'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
00:07:48Come on, Alice
00:07:50Come on, Alice
00:07:51You... must... stay
00:07:53It'll be... fun
00:07:56My dear... classmate
00:08:00I'm dead
00:08:01Like mentally, socially, and actually dead
00:08:12Just trying to figure out
00:08:13How exactly my life went off the rails
00:08:16Get it together, Alice Keaton
00:08:18You've been through hell
00:08:23Actually, no
00:08:26This is hell
00:08:27But, baby
00:08:29You saved me
00:08:30Uh... good morning
00:08:31Good morning
00:08:38Wow
00:08:46Wow
00:08:46Sir, is that Miss Keaton?
00:08:49Well, f***ing doesn't know
00:08:50That's often closed for months
00:08:52She's going to be late
00:08:59Hey, how long is this thing going to take?
00:09:01Maybe I'll just walk?
00:09:04Five miles to school!
00:09:07Okay, if 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
00:09:21What... what are you doing here?
00:09:22Didn't you already leave?
00:09:26Wait... did you come back for... me?
00:09:30Relax
00:09:32I forgot my textbook
00:09:34Don't flatter yourself
00:09:35Wait!
00:09:39Since you're already here
00:09:41Maybe you could be a decent person and give me a ride?
00:09:46No
00:09:48Seriously? Your 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
00:10:03Unbelievable!
00:10:13Asher Institute, please!
00:10:15Thank you!
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?
00:10:31And have the whole school go crazy?
00:10:35She's new!
00:10:37Everybody's already talking!
00:10:39So you're worried about her?
00:10:40You're overthinking!
00:10:42I just don't like drama!
00:10:49Asshole!
00:10:50Asshole!
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!
00:11:05Mr. Kenwood!
00:11:06Care to share what you found so amusing?
00:11:08Not particularly
00:11:09Oh! 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
00:11:23You wish he'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
00:11:34Something 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 the collapse of vulnerability
00:11:42Let them choose survival
00:11:44Or death
00:11:46But instead, he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:48Slapped a happily ever after on a book about savagery
00:11:55It's a waste
00:11:56Don't you think?
00:11:58I'm delightfully surprised Charles
00:11:59Didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:12:02I'm always a model student, sir
00:12:04Let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:09So...
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, it'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, 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?
00:12:52In some ways, but not harsh enough
00:12:56Yes, it's a critique of toxic masculinity, but still, Golding sympathised with them
00:13:02And the civilised 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 was kind of epic
00:13:25And let's not forget, Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:30Good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:35What's happening to me?
00:13:42Okay, what is going on? Why is everyone staring at me?
00:13:46Well, you're new, and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:13:49A what now?
00:13:51You two are in the middle of the most epic feud as you've seen in years
00:13:55We're not even fighting
00:13:56Well, according to everyone, you confessed your love on day one, got rejected, begged to sit next to him, got
00:14:03rejected 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, people 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
00:14:29But seriously, Alice, some people already see you as a threat
00:14:41Okay, noted
00:14:43Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:15:01Hello?
00:15:03Hello?
00:15:06Is somebody out there?
00:15:08Oh, come on!
00:15:23Fine
00:15:38Seriously?
00:15:41Oh, shit
00:15:47What 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?
00:15:59Yikes
00:15:59Looks like the new girl's in for a rough first semester
00:16:08Shhh
00:16:14Alice!
00:16:15Alice!
00:16:16Mr Pelton!
00:16:17Charles Kenwood here

00:27:48You...
00:27:49You... What are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying.
00:27:57Loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right. Sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait, no snarky comeback?
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?
00:28:16A hurricane 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.
00:28:37Like 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,
00:28:54we 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.
00:29:26We have our own generator.
00:29:28Wow.
00:29:29Rich people houses her.
00:29:30Just for tonight,
00:29:32I'll allow it.
00:29:34About what?
00:29:36You can call this place your 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.
00:29:45All yours.
00:29:49This
00:29:51is your home.
00:29:53Alice Keaton.
00:29:59Careful.
00:30:00Almost sounded sweet.
00:30:02Don't push it.
00:30:03Okay then.
00:30:07I have
00:30:09one request.
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:21Are you ever going to make a move?
00:30:23Wait.
00:30:23Give me a second.
00:30:24I'm thinking.
00:30:26You had one wish.
00:30:27Anything in the world.
00:30:30And in the middle of 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,
00:30:40spies 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.
00:30:47Does 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 chessboard.
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...
00:31:17No.
00:31:18Why?
00:31:18What's going to do that?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21I'll find you.
00:31:22I'll find you.
00:31:23You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:31:26Tied to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:31:29All yourself work as I'm moving on.
00:31:33Oh yeah.
00:31:35Showing up at my door.
00:31:38Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:31:41Maybe 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.
00:32:05Who needs Italy and France again, right?
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, thought I'd come surprise you.
00:32:18Apparently, 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.
00:32:26They said it'd be lovely for us to reconnect.
00:32:30You know, considering the engagement and all.
00:32:33Engagement.
00:32:35Oh, did 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 this little toy?
00:32:50Serena.
00:32:50I can hear you, you know.
00:32:52Oh, an American.
00:32:55How refreshing.
00:33:00Goodbye.
00:33:01Wait.
00:33:18Where are you going?
00:33:19You still owe me breakfast.
00:33:21You only pay for dinner.
00:33:23I have homework.
00:33:24Goodbye.
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.
00:33:43Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:34:01Oh, my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:03They'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.
00:34:12Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:44Come to the music room.
00:34:45Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah, okay.
00:34:56Hello, is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously.
00:35:01This is getting old.
00:35:13Wait.
00:35:15Music room, what?
00:35:18James?
00:35:19Is anybody in here earlier?
00:35:21Just Miss Serena.
00:35:22Said she was waiting for you.
00:35:25Sir?
00:35:27Sir, it's raining.
00:35:39Come on, Alice.
00:35:40You're fine.
00:35:43You're not that girl again.
00:35:50Wait, can you remind me one more time?
00:35:53Okay.
00:35:55Rooks move in straight lines.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:58Bishops move diagonally.
00:36:00And knights...
00:36:00The knights the weird one.
00:36:07Rooks.
00:36:09Straight lines.
00:36:11Bishops.
00:36:13Diagonally.
00:36:34The text.
00:36:36Are you okay?
00:36:38Are you hurt?
00:36:39I'm okay.
00:36:40I...
00:36:41I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:43I didn't see the message.
00:36:45Serena took my phone.
00:36:46I didn't know.
00:36:47I'm sorry.
00:36:48I'm okay.
00:36:51You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:52You're freezing.
00:36:53You didn't have to come.
00:36:56Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:36:59Give me hope that feels like hope.
00:37:22That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:37:26I...
00:37:27wasn't going to.
00:37:29I see the smiles
00:37:33Spreading like a wildfire
00:37:37Burning in the dark
00:37:41I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:43What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46I don't like that.
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:10Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:18That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:26Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:38:40You'll be working in pairs on your comparative essays.
00:38:43The list is on the board.
00:38:46One, two, three, four.
00:38:49Paper planes
00:38:51Are you okay?
00:38:52Fly me to outer space
00:38:57That's where I'll see your face
00:39:01And have you with me
00:39:07It may seem dark
00:39:10But you always light my spark
00:39:15In my heart
00:39:19Since the spark
00:39:25Oh, I love
00:39:26They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:39:29Honestly, both.
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, you saved me
00:39:45Till I'm brand new
00:39:48Everything's so different now
00:39:51So, the night goes in an L shape, right?
00:39:55Why is that the only one you remember?
00:39:57Because 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, babe
00:40:26I'll be there for you, babe
00:40:28I'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
00:40:44I expected poor judgement
00:40:46But this in my house?
00:40:48It isn't what it looks like
00:40:49No?
00:40:51Kissing a servant's daughter in 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 walking in on this
00:41:02She isn't just
00:41:03You have no right to barge in
00:41:06On my property
00:41:10I care about her
00:41:12I'm not ashamed
00:41:13That's enough
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:18We're protecting our son's future
00:41:20And our name
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:24We 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
00:41:36For 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
00:41:57That 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
00:42:08Pelton
00:42:09It's Frederick Kenwood
00:42:10Ah
00:42:11Mr Kenwood
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student
00:42:15Were to violate our behavioural code
00:42:18In 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
00:42:33Just 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
00:42:53You can't stay here anymore
00:42:55What?
00:42:57My parents fired your mother
00:42:59She's leaving
00:43:00So are you
00:43:01Wait, what?
00:43:02Why?
00:43:02Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this
00:43:05I'll get a job
00:43:06Anything
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
00:43:17Then
00:43:19Then we'll figure it out
00:43:20We don't need all that
00:43:21We can
00:43:22Do you really think
00:43:24I'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
00:43:50You don't just turn into a cold stranger
00:43:52Because of one conversation
00:43:53What did they threaten you with?
00:44:00What did they threaten you with?
00:44:02This is the difference between me and you
00:44:04What?
00:44:05You think you know me
00:44:07Or what I have
00:44:09You don't, Alice
00:44:11You're still lying
00:44:12I'm not, Alice
00:44:13Look around you
00:44:15This mansion you thought was a museum
00:44:17It's my house
00:44:20My world
00:44:21I was bored into this
00:44:23I am not choosing
00:44:24Between this
00:44:28And something I picked up
00:44:30For a moment of fun
00:44:34Don't do this Charles
00:44:35You don't mean it
00:44:36It was fun
00:44:38But you
00:44:41You don't compare to what I own
00:44:44I'll survive the loss
00:44:46I'll survive 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
00:45:05Go to sleep, Alice
00:45:05Go to sleep, Alice
00:45:31You don't find
00:45:31But I find that's the place to test myself
00:45:37Separate myself
00:45:45Oops
00:45:47Wait
00:45:48Wait
00:46:04Oh, sorry.
00:46:05Didn't see you there.
00:46:07Then again, nobody does.
00:46:09Move, please.
00:46:12Try begging.
00:46:18You know what?
00:46:19Keep it.
00:46:25Poor thing.
00:46:26So dramatic.
00:46:28Don't.
00:46:30Excuse me?
00:46:31I warned you.
00:46:33Walk away, Serena.
00:46:55Last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable.
00:46:59But one pair surprised me in a good way.
00:47:02Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton.
00:47:05Would you mind giving us a short summary?
00:47:08She loves the sound of her own voice.
00:47:10Better have it.
00:47:14I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:47:18Our 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.
00:47:29Different rules.
00:47:32At first glance, they clash.
00:47:34But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:47:38Confusion.
00:47:39Curiosity.
00:47:40Curiosity.
00:47:41But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:47:44And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:47:57And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:48:01Is she still talking about the essay?
00:48:05Miss Keaton?
00:48:08Dramatic as always.
00:48:10All right.
00:48:11Thank you, Alice.
00:48:12That was...
00:48:13later.
00:48:15Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder.
00:48:18That good literature
00:48:19always stirs something.
00:48:24Hello?
00:48:24Hello?
00:48:25Hi, here's Alice Keaton.
00:48:26This is Whitmore Press.
00:48:27We've been following your work.
00:48:28We'd like to offer you a long-term publishing contract.
00:48:31Name your price.
00:48:32We'll make it work.
00:48:33Sorry, what?
00:48:44That's kind of insane.
00:48:47Who's behind this?
00:48:48Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:48:51Can...
00:48:51Can I meet them?
00:48:54I want to.
00:48:56Please.
00:48:57Or at least tell me a name.
00:49:03Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:49:05So they're only interested in words, not the person.
00:49:07I'd really like to meet them.
00:49:08I'm sorry for to keep them.
00:49:09They were very good.
00:49:10I think the most generous offer we've ever given a Disney rights event.
00:49:14I see.
00:49:15Congratulations again.
00:49:20You got the interview.
00:49:22It's just an interview.
00:49:23I haven't gotten it yet.
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:27That's iconic.
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:40I'm so excited!
00:49:53It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:58Good.
00:49:59It's a generous deal.
00:50:01You sure you don't want it to know?
00:50:03No.
00:50:05No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:50:08I would be for you, babe.
00:50:12I'd be there in your darkened space.
00:50:16Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:50:27Your engagement announcement 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?
00:51:01Disengagement is not happening.
00:51:02It's not up to you.
00:51:03You know that.
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this.

00:59:29you said something
00:59:29it felt familiar
00:59:31really?
00:59:32kinda had that rich asshole
00:59:34with a conscious energy
00:59:35super
00:59:36very on brand
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:59:40Too late. Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:59:43Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:59:46Still the only guy I know who uses wiles unironically.
00:59:52You've changed.
00:59:55But...
00:59:56Not really.
00:59:58You haven't changed.
01:00:01But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
01:00:06Anyway.
01:00:07I wanted to say...
01:00:12And...
01:00:13Thanks for being here tonight.
01:00:15You didn't have to come.
01:00:17Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:22You didn't have to come.
01:00:24Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:00:46If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
01:00:56No.
01:01:02No.
01:01:06I see.
01:01:12I 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
01:02:19This is me
01:02:22Right
01:02:30I'm still mad at you, you know
01:02:34I'm still in love with you, you know
01:02:44Do you want to come in for a bit
01:02:48You're asking your ex
01:02:49Who you haven't seen in four years
01:02:51To come into your hotel
01:02:53At 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
01:03:19Stop quoting yourself
01:03:20I recycle
01:03:21It saves energy
01:03:23This feels wildly irresponsible
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer
01:03:27You're the one who once called romance a distraction
01:03:30I said that
01:03:31Yeah, before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:03:34Still is
01:03:36You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:03:41That is cute to me
01:03:42Don't you dare quote poetry
01:03:44I wasn't going to
01:03:46I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:49Then shut up
01:03:50And prove it
01:03:58I still can't believe this is happening
01:03:59I told you
01:04:00They're either worst enemies
01:04:02Or secretly married
01:04:03And I told you
01:04:04They're both
01:04:09It's more than a night to night
01:04:11I love you
01:04:13I love you
01:04:18It's enough to let folks
01:04:20Let it be
01:04:31I vow to always tell you the truth
01:04:34Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:37Then I lie
01:04:39Respectfully
01:04:41I vow to keep choosing you
01:04:44Loudly
01:04:46Quietly
01:04:47Always
01:04:49Even when you forget to do the laundry
01:04:53Is he actually good at this?
01:04:55I mean
01:04:56He did beat her at soccer though
01:05:01I vow to argue with you at least twice a week
01:05:03Especially our Shakespeare
01:05:06I vow to write you in your every story
01:05:09Even when I say I didn't
01:05:11You will always be a part of my life
01:05:14If she quotes Austen in this toast
01:05:16I'm out
01:05:16No you're not
01:05:17You're gonna cry harder
01:05:18For the rest of my life
01:05:23For the rest of my life
01:05:27For the rest of my life
01:05:48Guard your phone
01:05:49Relax
01:05:50Just don't dress like a walking inheritance
01:05:52And you'll be fine
01:05:56You 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
01:06:09No
01:06:09No
01:06:09No
01:06:09No
01:06:10No
01:06:10That 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
01:06:23In chaos
01:06:24In chapters
01:06:26You will find your way home
01:06:28In a moment
01:06:30Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:06:34But I don't want to die alone
01:06:37God
01:06:38God
01:06:40I want to die alone
01:06:44God
01:06:45What is it?
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.
