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

00:03:21it'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

00:06:40seem 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
00:14:08oh come on fine
00:14:24fine
00:14:38seriously
00:14:42oh shit
00:14:48what the hell
00:14:51Anne I thought you were having dinner with Alice
00:14:52she hasn't come home her phone is off maybe you've seen her this evening
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
00:15:30Alice

00:16:00you're fine
00:16:06yes
00:16:20you're fine
00:16:29it's a nice
00:16:41You're welcome.
00:16:42I didn't say thank you.
00:16:44I figured saving your life might earn 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?
00:17:12No.
00:17:14But I will be.
00:17:16Someone did this on purpose.
00:17:18What do you think, golden boy?
00:17:21Don't worry, I can handle it.
00:17:22You shouldn't have to.
00:17:26I'm...
00:17:27Sorry.
00:17:34Sorry.
00:17:35Sorry.
00:17:40Did 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...
00:17:58I took a weird shower.
00:18:00Top exploded.
00:18:03Come on.
00:18:04Let's get you home.
00:18:15Alice's cheating right?
00:18:17I heard she staged the whole thing for attention
00:18:43I know how this place works
00:18:45If you don't do anything about it
00:18:47It's only going to get worse
00:18:50I'll look into it
00:18:53Charles
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
00:19:10Well, for what it's worth
00:19:12I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out
00:19:15When he ran out last night
00:19:16Please, he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:19:36Being a scholarship student has its perks
00:19:38Like saving a fortune on tuition
00:19:41And getting into schools
00:19:42That normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates
00:19:46Hey, we miss you in Paris
00:19:48Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you
00:19:51But sometimes
00:19:53Being here means staying behind
00:19:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program
00:19:59You can never afford
00:20:02Have fun
00:20:03Bring me something overpriced
00:20:07And unnecessary
00:20:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds
00:20:13Which translates to
00:20:14Mom's salary for half a year
00:20:16So yeah
00:20:17I didn't go
00:20:40What 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 is not even your kitchen
00:20:50And this is not even your house
00:20:52And yet you're here
00:20:53Dressed like this
00:20:55Just don't look
00:20:56Go away
00:20:57Hard not to
00:20:58And you're walking around dressed like that
00:21:00What do you guys call it?
00:21:03Buzzkill?
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
00:21:25Florence
00:21:27Walk in the great footsteps of Dante
00:21:29Michelangelo
00:21:30Da Vinci
00:21:31And Titian
00:21:32Or Titiano
00:21:33If you want to sound extra pretentious
00:21:36Then Venice
00:21:37Because everybody loves a good canal
00:21:39And getting lost in the most confusing city on earth
00:21:42Next stop
00:21:43Napoli
00:21:43Marvel at Pompeii
00:21:45Pretend you're shocked
00:21:46Ancient people had plumbing
00:21:48The final stop
00:21:49Harry
00:21:50The ultimate city of romance
00:21:53And naturally
00:21:55Woody Allen's favourite city
00:21:58Outside 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
00:22:06I 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
00:22:13Twice
00:22:16Also I hate the accommodations
00:22:17Aren't they all five star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms in five star hotels
00:22:22No thank you
00:22:25Wow
00:22:25Some 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
00:22:44Come back with normal clothes on
00:22:46You didn't have to come
00:22:47Don't tell me what I have to do
00:22:57After Charles
00:22:58Roads 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
00:23:24What deal?
00:23:25You nearly gave me a heart attack
00:23:30You'll survive
00:23:32I'm not selling my body
00:23:38I'm not selling my body
00:23:44Wow
00:23:44I am deeply offended
00:23:48That thought disgusts me
00:23:50Then what are you doing?
00:23:51Staff's off tonight
00:23:52I'm buying dinner
00:23:57Did you seriously think
00:23:58I'd spend a hundred pounds on
00:24:00No
00:24:00I'm
00:24:03Wait
00:24:03You think I'm not worth
00:24:05One hundred pounds?
00:24:07I'm not spending
00:24:09One hundred pounds
00:24:09To snort you back up
00:24:10You know what?
00:24:11Dinner's cancelled
00:24:15Are you sure about that?
00:24:18I present to you
00:24:20Meatball spaghetti
00:24:21Stir fried veggies
00:24:22And french fries
00:24:23You're welcome
00:24:25Interesting combo
00:24:26Well I know we're not in Italy or France
00:24:28But this will do
00:24:30It's
00:24:32Good
00:24:38Was that a compliment?
00:24:39Although
00:24:41I am obliged to inform you
00:24:43Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian
00:24:45It's American
00:24:46And french fries
00:24:47Likely 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
00:24:57Don't you?
00:24:57To be fair
00:24:59You make it very easy
00:25:02It's only easy
00:25:02Because it costs you a hundred pounds
00:25:05You know if you'd ask for more
00:25:06I probably would have given it to you
00:25:07I'll make sure you're not in it
00:25:23Okay Alice it's fine
00:25:25You're fine
00:25:33911 what's for your emergency?
00:25:39911 what's for 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
00:25:46Get to you as soon as we can
00:25:48Please he's not well
00:25:49I understand
00:25:50Can you confirm your address?
00:25:53Yes I'm right here
00:25:56Hi
00:25:57My daughter
00:25:59Please stay with me dad
00:26:01Please
00:26:05No
00:26:06Please wake up
00:26:13Dad please
00:26:14Please don't leave me
00:26:43I don't want to
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. No snarky comeback?
00:27:07Not tonight. I'm too tired. If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:17Hurricane hit New York. Power went down. Traffic froze.
00:27:22Dad had a stroke. But he couldn't get help in time.
00:27:28I sat there with a candle while he laid there.
00:27:35Peaceful. Like he was asleep.
00:27:39But he wasn't.
00:27:44So 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 power 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?
00:28:35You can call this place your house. So enjoy it.
00:28:38Stephen King's first edition.
00:28:39Alan Gisberg's handwritten letters.
00:28:42Jane Austen's notes.
00:28:44All yours.
00:28:48This is your home. Alice Keaton.
00:28:57Careful. It almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02Okay then.
00:29:05I have one request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait. Give me a second. I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:28And in the middle of a thunderstorm, inside a literal mansion, you chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah. Got a problem?
00:29:36It's just so cool, like spies 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. Does the knight go diagonally?
00:29:48For the tenth time, it moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:58Happy?
00:29:58Ecstatic.
00:30:01No. That's suicide.
00:30:04Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:06You are playing checkers at a chessboard.
00:30:07Still 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. No.
00:30:16Why? What's wrong with that?
00:30:17You can't do that.
00:30:19I don't know. Can I do that?
00:30:19Oh my god.
00:30:20What's up?
00:30:21You had to shop a trip and about it all wrong.
00:30:24Time to pull you in close as 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.
00:30:41Maybe 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.
00:31:24They 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, very 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.
00:31:51An American.
00:31:53How refreshing.
00:31:58Goodbye.
00:31:59Wait.
00:32:15Where are you going?
00:32:16You 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 temper.
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.
00:32:41Was she like, the maid or something?
00:32:59Oh my god.
00:33:00What's wrong with people?
00:33:02They're saying you live with Charles.
00:33:04Oh, and Serena.
00:33:05What about her?
00:33:06Apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:33:10Of course she did.
00:33:23Careful, Alice.
00:33:25You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:28Careful, Alice.
00:33:38You're starting to look desperate.
00:33:39I know.
00:33:40It's 1066.
00:33:42Come to the music room.
00:33:43Urgent.
00:33:44I just remembered.
00:33:46I need to check something.
00:33:47You guys go ahead.
00:33:48Yeah.
00:33:48Okay.
00:33:55Hello!
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?
00:34:17Is 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.
00:34:38You're fine.
00:34:40You're not that girl again.
00:34:48Wait.
00:34:49Can 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 knights...
00:34:58The knights the weird one.
00:35:04Rooks.
00:35:06Straight lines.
00:35:08Image ships.
00:35:10Diagonally.
00:35:11Hello?
00:35:12Hello?
00:35:31The text
00:35:33Are you okay? Are you hurt?
00:35:36I... I'm okay. I... I saw the text and I thought...
00:35:40I didn't see the message. Serena took my phone. I didn't know. I'm sorry.
00:35:45I'm... okay. You'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.
00:36:19That wasn't a mistake, if that's what you're about to say.
00:36:24I... wasn't going to.
00:36:37I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:36:40What? Kissing?
00:36:41Hiding feelings.
00:36:42I don't like that.
00:37:04Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:37:06Oh, you wish.
00:37:10Seriously, it's a cock block.
00:37:13You kissed me.
00:37:15That's basically consent to everything.
00:37:23Dangerous words, Keaton. I might hold you to that.
00:37:28Hup, hup.
00:37:30The End of the Day
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
00:37:57And have you with me
00:38:09You're distracting.
00:38:18You're welcome.
00:38:22They're either enemies or secretly married.
00:38:26Honestly?
00:38:28Both.
00:38:31I was sure I'd never find someone
00:38:33To 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
00:38:42Until I'm brand 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?
00:38:55Because it's weird
00:38:56And I like weird
00:39:12You're cheating
00:39:13I'm winning
00:39:14There's a difference
00:39:16You are very distracting
00:39:18And you like it
00:39:20I would be the four young day
00:39:23I'll be the middle of the dark and space
00:39:28I'll hold you in my arms
00:39:30Charles!
00:39:32We need to talk
00:39:40I expected poor judgement
00:39:42But 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
00:39:55Imagine 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
00:40:17And our name
00:40:19You think this protects me?
00:40:21We think
00:40:22She 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
00:40:40Are you sure
00:40:42She's ready?
00:40:48I'm asking you
00:40:50Do you think she's ready?
00:40:52To lose everything
00:40:53Regardless of how little that is
00:40:55Just to be with you?
00:40:56What are you talking about?
00:40:58You left us no choice son
00:40:59You shouldn't disobey your father
00:41:04Pelton
00:41:05It's Frederick Kenwood
00:41:07Ah, Mr Kenwood
00:41:09How can I help?
00:41:10If a scholarship student
00:41:11Were to violate our behavioural code
00:41:14In a public setting
00:41:15With photographic evidence
00:41:17Would that warrant a review?
00:41:20Yes sir
00:41:23So
00:41:25Answer me again
00:41:27Do you think she's ready
00:41:28To lose everything
00:41:29Just to be with you?
00:41:41Charles
00:41:42What 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 it
00:42:03You don't get it
00:42:05If I don't walk away from this
00:42:06They'll cut me off
00:42:08Okay?
00:42:08No card
00:42:10No trust
00:42:11No support
00:42:13Nothing
00:42:13Then
00:42:15Then we'll figure it out
00:42:16We don't need all that
00:42:18We can
00:42:18Do you really think
00:42:20I'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
00:42:38Nothing
00:42:38They just reminded me
00:42:39Of what's
00:42:40Real
00:42:44Charles, I'm not stupid
00:42:46You don't just turn into a cold stranger
00:42:48Because 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
00:43:02What?
00:43:03Or what I have
00:43:05You don't
00:43:05Alice
00:43:07You're still lying
00:43:08I'm not
00:43:08Alice
00:43:09Look around you
00:43:10This mansion
00:43:12You thought was a museum
00:43:13It's
00:43:14My house
00:43:16My world
00:43:18I was bored into this
00:43:19I am not choosing
00:43:20Between this
00:43:24And something I picked up
00:43:26For a moment
00:43:27Of fun
00:43:30Don't
00:43:31Don't do this Charles
00:43:31You 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
00:44:11Go to sleep Alice
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
00:44:59Oh sorry
00:45:01Didn't see that
00:45:02Then again nobody does
00:45:04Move please
00:45:06Hmm
00:45:07Try begging
00:45:14You know what keep it
00:45:20You know what keep it
00:45:21Poor thing
00:45:22So dramatic
00:45:24Don't
00:45:25Excuse me
00:45:27I warned you
00:45:29Walk away Serena
00:45:31Ah
00:45:50Last week's group assignments were
00:45:52Mostly 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 a 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 stay
00:46:09I couldn't wait
00:46:09I thought they used to 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
00:46:25Different 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
00:46:55Is 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...
00:47:09Laid
00:47:11Are you okay?
00:47:12A reminder
00:47:13That good literature
00:47:15Always stirs something
00:47:19Hello?
00:47:20Hi this is 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 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...
00:47:41Can I meet them?
00:47:44I want to
00:47:45Please
00:47:46Or at least tell me a name
00:47:51Sorry they wish to stay in office
00:47:53So they're only interested in work
00:47:55Not the person
00:47:55I'd really like to meet them
00:47:57I'm sorry Miss Keaton
00:47:58Name was very soon
00:47:59I think the most generous offer we've ever given a disability right now
00:48:03I see
00:48:04Congratulations again
00:48:09You got the interview?
00:48:11It's just an interview
00:48:11I haven't gotten it yet
00:48:12Still...
00:48:13Alice Keaton at Oxford
00:48:15That's iconic
00:48:25You okay?
00:48:27Yeah
00:48:28I'm so excited
00:48:42It's done Mr. Kenwood
00:48:43Miss Keaton signed 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
00:48:53No
00:48:54No
00:48:54It's better if I stay out of her life
00:48:56I will be before you then
00:49:01I'll be there in your darkest days
00:49:06Congratulations Alice Keaton
00:49:07Go live the life you were always meant to
00:49:15Your engagement and 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
00:49:36I'll go check on him
00:49:42What's your problem Charles?
00:49:47Disengagement
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
00:49:55You've changed
00:49:59Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending
00:50:30You're the sponsor?
00:50:32You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time?
00:50:36You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time?
00:50:37So?
00:50:38You lied to everyone
00:50:39Including her
00:50:41I protected her
00:50:44You loved her
00:50:46Still do
00:50:49Let it go Serena
00:50:53There's no point
00:51:02I need a favour
00:51:03Find out when the Oxford interview is
00:51:07And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up
00:51:14Anything?
00:51:15Anything? No?
00:51:16She's not answering
00:51:18The interview is almost over
00:51:19Well shouldn't just not show up
00:51:21Something's wrong
00:51:24Where's Alice?
00:51:26When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:28Last night
00:51:28She said she was prepping all evening
00:51:34James
00:51:35Track someone for me
00:51:38Wait
00:51:38Where are you going?
00:51:44No
00:51:45No
00:51:46No
00:51:47Chill
00:51:47Okay
00:51:48It won't hurt you
00:51:49Yeah
00:51:50We're just supposed to keep you away from the interview
00:51:53That's it
00:52:01Shit
00:52:02Come back
00:52:15Deal
00:52:18Go
00:52:26I
00:52:29I
00:52:30Remember how I meant
00:52:33Didn't need a second guess
00:52:36I
00:52:37I
00:52:38Didn't need a second guess
00:52:38I
00:52:40Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice, Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice, Alice.
00:52:53You're awake? Where, 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. He 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. Someone already contacted the university. Anne 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. I just... had a dream.
00:53:43I got in!
00:53:45Oh, I knew it!
00:53:50Oh, too 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, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:04Honestly, Astra's been quieter without him.
00:54:07It's probably for the best.
00:54:08Come on.
00:54:08I couldn't stay.
00:54:12I thought that you should know when I would have and hang around.
00:54:18The summer I met Charles Kenward was loud.
00:54:22Chaotic.
00:54:24Unexpected.
00:54:27And with his absence...
00:54:29Come on!
00:54:31It ended quietly.
00:54:34Like summer's always do.
00:54:48And joining us today, the Dake's most unexpected literary phenomenon.
00:54:54Alice Keaton.
00:54:55Thank you for having me.
00:54:57Now, your words moved millions.
00:54:59They say your stories feel real, especially the ones about love.
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 has been just writing and working, not even a single
00:55:17date.
00:55:18Let me guess, a bird named Sherry.
00:55:19She caught me.
00:55:20Still no comment.
00:55:22All right, all right.
00:55:22No matter what you say, you write love like someone who's lived it.
00:55:29If you're so real...
00:55:30Because once, I did.
00:55:31That's why today we're here sharing the story behind Alice Keaton's love.
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.
00:55:54The numbers just came in.
00:55:55You broke your own record.
00:55:58That's...
00:55:58Incredible.
00:56:00We're thinking celebration, press, photos, maybe tonight.
00:56:03Actually, there'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.
00:56:14You're sure?
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16Just once.
00:56:17Tonight, 7pm.
00:56:29Good evening.
00:56:34Good evening.
00:56:38May I sit?
00:56:43Hey, Mr. Nonchalant.
00:56:48Hi.
00:56:50Hi.
00:56:52You 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.
00:57:05I 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.
00:57:24Didn't know you're still reading.
00:57:26You're rich enough not to do so.
00:57:29Always.
00:57:31Either way.
00:57:32Your sponsorship started my career.
00:57:35So...
00:57:35No.
00:57:36No, you 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.
00:57:54I hope.
00:57:55Charles.
00:57:57Can you just...
00:58:00Wait a little longer.
00:58:07I think I knew it was you.
00:58:10There was one email.
00:58:13You said something.
00:58:15It felt familiar.
00:58:16Really?
00:58:17I kind of had that rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:58:21Very on brand.
00:58:23I should have anonymized my grammar.
00:58:25Too late.
00:58:25Your semicolon usage gave you away.
00:58:28Still the only girl I know who flirts through punctuation.
00:58:31Still the only guy I know who uses wilds unironically.
00:58:37You've changed.
00:58:39You've changed.
00:58:40But...
00:58:41Not really.
00:58:43You haven't changed.
00:58:46But maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:58:51Anyway, I wanted to say thank you, and thanks for being here tonight.
00:59:00You didn't have to come.
00:59:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:07You didn't have to come.
00:59:09Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:31If you could go back, if you had the chance to do it all again, would you do anything differently?
00:59:42No.
00:59:47No.
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, my family.
01:00:10I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:00:13So you just disappeared, without a word.
01:00:18If you had the chance to see the world, without 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...
01:00:41I would have chosen you anyway?
01:00:48I didn't think I was the smart choice.
01:00:50You weren't.
01:00:54But I never claimed to be that smart.
01:01:04This is me.
01:01:06Right.
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, who you haven't seen in four years, to come into your hotel at approximately
01:01:3911pm.
01:01:41You were right.
01:01:43You never were that smart.
01:01:45You don't have to come.
01:01:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:01:50It's almost like you say, where'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.
01:02:12You're the one who once called romance a distraction.
01:02:14I said that.
01:02:15Yeah, before 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 to?
01:02:30I forgot all over the day you left.
01:02:33Then shut up.
01:02:35And prove it.
01:02:41I still can't believe this is happening.
01:02:43I told you that you're the worst enemies or secretly married.
01:02:47And I told you.
01:02:48They're both.
01:02:48My mouth and shits.
01:02:49I swear to you.
01:02:53You're no part of the world.
01:02:55You think you're a good guy.
01:02:57You're is being a good guy.
01:02:57You're still a good guy.
01:02:59It's getting too mad by me.
01:03:00You know you don't really care.
01:03:00What's it going to be?
01:03:00What's it going to be?
01:03:00What the hell?
01:03:01What the hell?
01:03:02Is it going to be?
01:03:15What the hell?
01:03:17What the hell?
01:03:18Except for when you ask how your cooking was.
01:03:21Then I lie. Respectfully.
01:03:25I vow to keep choosing you. Loudly. Quietly.
01:03:31Always. Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:03:37Is he actually good at this?
01:03:39I mean, he did beat over at sarcasm.
01:03:45I vow to argue with you at least twice a week, especially over Shakespeare.
01:03:50I vow to write you into every story, even 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, I'm out.
01:04:01No, you're not. You're gonna cry harder.
01:04:25I can't believe you picked Paris.
01:04:28Such a cliché honeymoon destination.
01:04:31Guard your phone.
01:04:33Relax. Just don't dress like a walking inheritance and you'll be fine.
01:04:39You are not wearing that on our honeymoon.
01:04:43Please, Alice, go change.
01:04:45Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:04:51No.
01:04:52No, no, no, no. That is not an invitation to-
01:04:55Do not take off these clothes!
01:04:57Overruled. You look much better without them.
01:05:05To the ones who loved in silence, in chaos, in chapters,
01:05:10you will find your way home.
01:05:15Sometimes I wanna be on my own.
01:05:18But I don't wanna die alone.
01:05:21God!
01:05:21God!
01:05:23God!
01:05:25God!
01:05:25God!
01:05:32Oopsie!
01:05:35My King!
01:05:38Okay, okay!
01:05:46It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
01:05:51help us develop, learn, and grow.
