Transcript
00:00:01I've always described the world in words.
00:00:05People, moments, places.
00:00:08But in that moment, I forgot them all.
00:00:12Be careful. We're talking about the king of Ashford.
00:00:15He's cool.
00:00:16I don't find Bowie's attractive.
00:00:18Good morning!
00:00:19He's lonely and kind of pathetic.
00:00:22Breathe the room before opening your mouth.
00:00:24American.
00:00:26She said you'd be moving in today.
00:00:28There's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:00:30I'm not staying here.
00:00:32You must stay.
00:00:35I heard you stay to the whole thing for attention.
00:00:39Charles, we need to talk.
00:00:41If you don't do anything about it,
00:00:44it's only going to get worse.
00:00:46You're lying to everyone, including her.
00:00:50You didn't have to come.
00:00:52Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:01:03I've always described the world in words.
00:01:06People, moments, places.
00:01:09All through metaphors and margins.

00:09:51yeah
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
00:10:13ashford institute please
00:10:15thank you
00:10:19gloomy is that entitled brat anyway
00:10:22sir
00:10:23you called the cab
00:10:24why not just give miss Keaton a lift
00:10:31why not just give miss Keaton a lift
00:10:33and have the whole school go crazy
00:10:35she's new
00:10:37everybody's already talking
00:10:38so you're worried about her
00:10:40you're overthinking
00:10:42I just don't like drama
00:10:49asshole
00:10:51who
00:10:53morning class
00:10:55back to Golding
00:10:56remind me what he's saying through Lord of the Flies
00:11:04Mr Kenwood
00:11:05care to share what you found so amusing
00:11:07not particularly
00:11:09oh
00:11:10I insist
00:11:11you seem very entertained by Golding
00:11:14I'm not entertained by Golding sir
00:11:16on the contrary
00:11:18I think his ending is
00:11:21weak
00:11:22wait wait
00:11:23you wish you 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
00:11:37he backed out
00:11:38he could have left the boys on the island
00:11:40forced them to confront
00:11:41the collapse of all morality
00:11:42let them choose survival
00:11:44or death
00:11:46but instead
00:11:47he gave them a rescue boat
00:11:48slapped a happily ever after
00:11:50on a book about
00:11:51savagery
00:11:55it's a waste
00:11:56don't you think
00:11:57I'm delightfully surprised Charles
00:11:59didn't think you had such strong literary opinions
00:12:02I'm always a model student sir
00:12:04let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:12:08so
00:12:09a critique of Golding's mercy
00:12:12anyone disagree
00:12:28I think Golding knew exactly what he was doing by ending the book that way
00:12:32it's not mercy
00:12:33it's irony
00:12:34how so
00:12:38the rescue isn't a happy ending
00:12:40you don't just walk back into society and forget you're a monster
00:12:43Golding didn't save them
00:12:45he left us with the discomfort of pretending they could be saved
00:12:48that's an interesting take Miss Keaton
00:12:50you still think it's a harsh critique
00:12:52in some ways
00:12:53but not harsh enough
00:12:56yes
00:12:57it's a critique of toxic masculinity
00:12:59but still Golding sympathized with them
00:13:02and the civilized world
00:13:04toxic
00:13:04violent
00:13:05he didn't call that out nearly as much
00:13:07so yeah
00:13:07I don't think Golding pushed far enough
00:13:09but I think it's unfair to call it a happy ending
00:13:15thank you Miss Keaton
00:13:17well said
00:13:19anyone else?
00:13:22both opinions are valid
00:13:24okay
00:13:24that's kind of epic
00:13:25and let's not forget
00:13:26Golding faced major backlash when he first published the book
00:13:29good literature will always divide opinion
00:13:35what's happening to me
00:13:42okay what is going on
00:13:44why is everyone staring at me
00:13:46well
00:13:46you're new
00:13:47and apparently had a thing with Charles
00:13:49a what now?
00:13:51you two are in the middle of the most epic feud
00:13:53Astrid's scene in years

00:17:40You're welcome.
00:17:42I didn't say thank you.
00:17:44I figured saving your life might earn me basic manners.
00:17:46Someone just dumped swamp water on me.
00:17:49Excuse me if I'm not feeling very polite.
00:17:51You smell like a biology experiment.
00:17:54Wow.
00:17:55You should try falling out of a window into someone's arms and getting insulted for it.
00:17:59I wouldn't recommend it.
00:18:00You're heavier than you look.
00:18:03I hope you pull your shoulder.
00:18:10Are you okay?
00:18:12No.
00:18:13But I will be.
00:18:15Someone did this on purpose.

00:18:20Don't worry.
00:18:21I can handle it.
00:18:21You shouldn't have to.
00:18:26I'm sorry.
00:18:34Sorry.
00:18:39Did you just apologize to me?

00:18:47Alice over here okay why are you drenched yeah I just took a weird shower top exploded
00:19:02come on let's go you home
00:19:14Alice Keaton right? I heard you staged the whole thing for attention
00:19:43I know how this place works if you don't do anything about it it's only going to get worse
00:19:49look into it Charles good on you how many here would speak up I can't believe someone actually
00:20:03locked you in that's insane and where the hell was the school when this was happening
00:20:07busy protecting their golden boys and trust funds well for what it's worth I heard Charles
00:20:13looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night please he just didn't want a lawsuit
00:20:35being a scholarship student has its perks like saving a fortune on tuition and getting into
00:20:42schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates hey we miss you in Paris
00:20:48there are enough Americans remind us of you sometimes being here means standing behind and watching
00:20:56Ashford elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford have fun bring me something
00:21:06overpriced and unnecessary the trip cost 20 grand in pounds which translates to mom's salary for half a year so
00:21:17yeah I didn't go
00:21:40what are you doing here do you not believe in shirts do you not believe in dignity it's comfortable you
00:21:46look like a rejected ewok

00:22:11you go on that tour I thought rich people live for that kind of thing
00:22:14why do you think
00:22:21where would I go I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep Florence walk in the great footsteps of
00:22:29Dante
00:22:30Michelangelo da Vinci and Titian or Tiziana if you want to sound extra pretentious then Venice because everybody loves a
00:22:38good canal and getting lost in the most confusing city on earth
00:22:42next stop Napoli marvel at Pompeii pretend you're shocked ancient people have plumbing
00:22:48the final stop
00:22:50Harry
00:22:51the ultimate city of romance and naturally Woody Allen's favorite city outside of New York
00:23:01that's
00:23:02word for word I told you I've done this tour so many times I could run it okay but still
00:23:08it's Europe most people would kill for that chance

00:24:05I've got it sorted.
00:24:18Jesus, what are you doing?
00:24:20Relax.
00:24:23I'm here to make a deal.
00:24:25What deal? You nearly gave me a heart attack.
00:24:31You'll survive.
00:24:33I'm not selling my body.
00:24:39I'm not selling my body.
00:24:45Wow. I am deeply offended.
00:24:49That thought disgusts me.
00:24:51Then what are you doing?
00:24:52The staff's off tonight. I'm buying dinner.
00:24:57Did you seriously think I'd spend £100 on...
00:25:00No, I'm...
00:25:01Jesus.
00:25:03Wait.
00:25:04You think I'm not worth £100?
00:25:08I'm not spending £100 to snort Chewbacca.
00:25:11You know what? Dinner's cancelled.
00:25:15Are you sure about that?
00:25:19I present to you.
00:25:21Meatball spaghetti, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:25:24You're welcome.
00:25:24Done.
00:25:25Interesting combo.
00:25:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:25:31It's...
00:25:32Good.
00:25:39Was that a compliment?
00:25:41Although...
00:25:41I am obliged to inform you.
00:25:44Meatball spaghetti isn't Italian.
00:25:46It's American.
00:25:47And french fries, likely born in South America.
00:25:50You should read more.
00:25:53Put it down.
00:25:55I paid for it.
00:25:56You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:25:58To be fair, you make it very easy.
00:26:02It's only easy because it costs £200.
00:26:06You know, if you'd asked for more, I probably would have given it to you.
00:26:08I'll make sure you're right.
00:26:24Hey Alice, it's fine.
00:26:26You're fine.
00:26:349-1-1.
00:26:34What's with your emergency?
00:26:409-1-1.
00:26:41What's with your emergency?
00:26:42It's my dad.
00:26:43He needs help.
00:26:44He just had a stroke.
00:26:45Okay, miss.
00:26:46Hurricane's constant.

00:26:57Hi.
00:26:59My daughter.
00:27:01Please stay with me, Dad.
00:27:02Please.
00:27:07No.
00:27:09Please wake up.
00:27:14Dad.
00:27:15Dad, please.
00:27:16Please don't leave me.
00:27:49You...
00:27:49What are you doing here?
00:27:55You were crying.
00:27:57Loudly.
00:28:00Kind of hard to ignore.
00:28:02Right.
00:28:03Sorry for the noise.
00:28:05Wait.
00:28:06No snarky comeback?
00:28:08Not tonight.
00:28:09I'm too tired.
00:28:10If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:28:14You were calling for your dad, right?
00:28:17A hurricane hit New York.
00:28:20Power went down.
00:28:21Traffic froze.
00:28:23Dad had a stroke.
00:28:25But he couldn't get help in time.
00:28:29I sat there with a candle
00:28:32while he laid there.
00:28:36Peaceful.
00:28:38He 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,
00:28:53we had nowhere else to go.
00:29:00What are you doing?
00:29:03What are you doing?
00:29:03What are you doing?
00:29:05Come on.
00:29:22Wait.
00:29:23I thought the peril was out.
00:29:25It is.
00:29:26We have our own generator.
00:29:28Wow.
00:29:29Rich people houses her.
00:29:30Just for tonight.
00:29:32Just for tonight.
00:29:33I'll allow it.
00:29:34Allow 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.
00:29:44All yours.
00:29:46All 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.
00:30:08I 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.
00:30:28Anything in the world.
00:30:29And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:30:31inside a literal mansion,
00:30:33you chose chess.
00:30:36Yeah.
00:30:37Got a problem?
00:30:38It's just so cool.
00:30:39Like spies or genius villains in movies.
00:30:42It's literally a board game.
00:30:44Says the guy who owns a custom set.
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:47Does 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.
00:31:03No.
00:31:04That's suicide.
00:31:05Or a brilliant long term sacrifice.
00:31:07You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:31:09Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:31:11You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:31:13Golding disagrees.
00:31:14It's going to be a long night.
00:31:16Oh my. No.
00:31:17Why? What's going to do that?
00:31:18You can't do that.
00:31:20Can I do that as well?
00:31:21Can I not do that?
00:31:22I know.
00:31:22You had your shot but you went about it all wrong.
00:31:26Tired to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:31:29Are you sour because I'm moving on?
00:31:33Oh yeah.
00:31:34Showing up at me the world.
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?
00:32:08When did you get back?
00:32:09Last night, from Zurich, you didn't answer my messages.
00:32:14I missed you.
00:32:16Anyway, thought I'd come to 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.
00:32:34Engagement?
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 paid 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?
00:33:34I'm sorry.
00:33:36I'm sorry.
00:33:39I'm sorry.
00:33:40That's her.
00:33:41That's the one from Kenwood's house.
00:33:44Was she, like, the maid or something?
00:34:01Oh, my God.
00:34:02What's wrong with people?
00:34:04They're saying you live with Charles.
00:34:06Oh, and Serena.
00:34:07What about her?
00:34:08Well, apparently she told everyone you were caught sneaking into his room.
00:34:12Of course she did.
00:34:13Of course she did.
00:34:26Careful, Alice.
00:34:27You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:39You're starting to look desperate.
00:34:40I know.
00:34:40I know.
00:34:42It's 1066.
00:34:44Come to the music room.
00:34:45Urgent.
00:34:46I just remembered.
00:34:48I need to check something.
00:34:49You guys go ahead.
00:34:50Yeah?
00:34:51Okay.
00:34:56Alice!
00:34:58Is someone there?
00:34:59Seriously!
00:35:01This is getting old!
00:35:13Wait.
00:35:15Music room?
00:35:16What?
00:35:18James?
00:35:20Was 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.
00:35:51Wait.
00:35:51Can you remind me one more time?
00:35:54Okay.
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.
00:36:14Hello?
00:36:34The text.
00:36:36Are you okay?
00:36:37Are you...
00:36:38Are you hurt?
00:36:39I...
00:36:39I'm okay.
00:36:40I...
00:36:41I saw the text and I thought...
00:36:43I...
00:36:43I didn't see the message.
00:36:45Serena took my phone.
00:36:46I...
00:36:46I didn't know.
00:36:47I'm sorry.
00:36:48I'm...
00:36:49Okay.
00:36:51You're gonna catch a cold.
00:36:52You're freezing.
00:36:53You didn't have to come.
00:36:56Don't tell me 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...
00:37:27I...
00:37:28Wasn't going to.
00:37:40I'm really bad at this, you know.
00:37:43What?
00:37:44Kissing?
00:37:45Hiding feelings.
00:37:46Like that.
00:37:55Tell me what you're saying.
00:37:56Tell me what you're saying.
00:37:57Tell me what you're going to.
00:37:58Keep me happy.
00:38:08Dump those Ewok pyjamas.
00:38:10Oh, you wish.
00:38:13Seriously.
00:38:14It's a cock block.
00:38:16You kissed me.
00:38:18That's basically consent to everything.
00:38:27Dangerous words, Keaton.
00:38:28I 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.
00:38:49One, two, three, four.
00:38:49One, two, three, four.
00:38:49One, two, three, four.
00:38:50Paper planes.
00:38:51Are you okay?
00:38:53Fly 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 like my spark.
00:39:15You're distracting.
00:39:21You're welcome.
00:39:26They're either enemies we secretly married.
00:39:29Honestly?
00:39:31Right?
00:39:34I was sure I'd never find someone to make my head spin around.
00:39:38No one's ever gonna be the thing I need.
00:39:41They all just let me down.
00:39:42But baby, you saved me.
00:39:46Time been 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?
00:39:58Because it's weird.
00:39:59And I like weird.
00:40:09Check.
00:40:15You're cheating.
00:40:17I'm winning.
00:40:18There's a difference.
00:40:19You are very distracting.
00:40:21And you like it.
00:40:23I will be there for a young day.
00:40:26I'll be there in the darkest days.
00:40:31I'll hold you in my arms.
00:40:33Charles.
00:40:34We need to talk.
00:40:44I 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 after speaking with Serena.
00:40:59Imagine our surprise walking in on this.
00:41:03She isn't just...
00:41:04You have no right to barge in.
00:41:06On my property.
00:41:10I care about her.
00:41:12I'm not ashamed about that.
00:41:13That's enough.
00:41:17Why do you care?
00:41:18We're protecting our son's future.
00:41:21And our name.
00:41:23You think this protects me?
00:41:25We think she does not belong in your world.
00:41:31Then maybe I don't either.
00:41:35You're ready to give up everything.
00:41:37For a girl you barely know?
00:41:41Yes.
00:41:43Then...
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, regardless of how little that is.
00:41:58Just to be with you.
00:42:00What are you talking about?
00:42:02You left us no choice, son.
00:42:03You shouldn't disobey your father.
00:42:08Pelton.
00:42:09It's Frederick Kenwood.
00:42:11Ah.
00:42:11Mr. Kenwood.
00:42:12How can I help?
00:42:13If a scholarship student were to violate our behavioral code in a public setting with photographic evidence, would that warrant
00:42:22a review?
00:42:23Yes, sir.
00:42:27So, answer me again.
00:42:30Do you think she's ready to lose everything just 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?
00:43:03Is it because of us?
00:43:04We can fix this.
00:43:05I'll get a job, anything...
00:43:06Stop, stop it.
00:43:06You don't get it.
00:43:08If I don't walk away from this, they'll cut me off.
00:43:12Okay?
00:43:13No card.
00:43:14No trust.
00:43:15No support.
00:43:16Nothing.
00:43:18Then...
00:43:19Then we'll figure it out.
00:43:20We don't need all that.
00:43:21We can...
00:43:22Do you really think I'm going to live like that?
00:43:28So that's what this was?
00:43:30Just fun until it got inconvenient.
00:43:34What did they promise you?
00:43:38Nothing.
00:43:41They just reminded me of what's real.
00:43:47Charles, I'm not stupid.
00:43:49You don't just turn into a cold stranger because of one conversation.
00:43:53What did they threaten you with?
00:44:00What did they threaten you with?
00:44:02This is the difference between me and you.
00:44:04What?
00:44:05You think you know me.
00:44:07Or what I have.
00:44:08You don't, Alice.
00:44:11You're still lying.
00:44:12I'm not, Alice.
00:44:14Look around you.
00:44:15This mansion you thought was a museum.
00:44:18It's my house.
00:44:20My world.
00:44:22I was bored into this.
00:44:24I am not choosing between this...
00:44:28...and something I picked up for a moment of fun.
00:44:34Don't do this, Charles.
00:44:36You don't mean it.
00:44:37It was fine.
00:44:39But you...
00:44:41You don't compare to what I own.
00:44:44I'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.
00:45:17Where's the dance?
00:45:22You're hungry, Alice.
00:45:23I'm hungry, Alice.
00:45:27And you...
00:45:28You're hungry, Alice.
00:45:32Are you going to die for them?
00:45:34I can't wait to try the rest of your hands.
00:45:34But I find that's the place to test myself.
00:45:46Oops.
00:46:04Oh, sorry. Didn't see you there.
00:46:07Then again, nobody does.
00:46:09Move, please.
00:46:12Try begging.
00:46:18You know what? Keep it.
00:46:25Poor thing. So 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.
00:46:58But 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.
00:47:11I couldn't stay.
00:47:12I couldn't wait.
00:47:14I thought that you should know that I would have.
00:47:18Can hang around.
00:47:18Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet.
00:47:23Like logic and chaos, or silence and noise.
00:47:28Different worlds, different rules.
00:47:32At first glance, they clash.
00:47:35But what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:47:39Confusion.
00:47:39Curiosity.
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.
00:48:06Miss Keaton.
00:48:08Dramatic as always.
00:48:10All right.
00:48:11Thank you, Alice.
00:48:12That was later.
00:48:15Are you okay?
00:48:16A reminder that good literature always stirs something.
00:48:24Hello?
00:48:24Hi.
00:48:25Here'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...
00:48:52Can I meet them?
00:48:55I 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 to keep them.
00:49:09They were very good.
00:49:10I think it's the most generous work we've ever given in this year.
00:49:14I see.
00:49:15Congratulations again.
00:49:21You got the interview.
00:49:22It's just an interview.
00:49:23I haven't gotten it yet.
00:49:24Still, Alice Keaton at Oxford.
00:49:27That's iconic.
00:49:36You okay?
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:39I'm just done.
00:49:40I'm so excited!
00:49:54It's done, Mr. Kenwood.
00:49:55Miss Keaton signed the contract.
00:49:58Good.
00:49:59It's a generous deal.
00:50:01You sure you don't want it to know?
00:50:03No.
00:50:05No.
00:50:05It'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 darkest days.
00:50:17Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:50:19Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:50:28Your engagement and advancement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:50:33And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:50:38It's all coming together beautifully.
00:50:43I've lost my appetite.
00:50:48I'll go check on him.
00:50:54What's your problem, Charles?
00:50:59This engagement is not happening.
00:51:02It's not up to you.
00:51:03You know that.
00:51:04Serena, we're not doing this.
00:51:07You've changed.
00:51:11Or maybe I finally just stopped pretending.
00:51:14I love noticing.
00:51:16...
00:51:41Charles!
00:51:43You're the Spongebob.
00:51:44You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time!
00:51:49So?
00:51:51You lied to everyone, including her!
00:51:54I protected her.
00:51:57You loved her.
00:51:59Still do.
00:52:02Let it go, Serena.
00:52:05There's no point.
00:52:15I need a favour.
00:52:17Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:52:20And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:52:27Anything? No?
00:52:30She's not answering.
00:52:31The interview's almost over.
00:52:33Well, she won't just not show up.
00:52:35Something's wrong.
00:52:37Where's Alice?
00:52:39When was the last time you heard from her?
00:52:41Last night.
00:52:42She said she was prepping all evening.
00:52:47James, track someone for me.
00:52:51Wait, where are you going?
00:53:00Chill, okay?
00:53:01Who won't hurt you?
00:53:03Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:53:06That's it.
00:53:14Shit!
00:53:15Come back!
00:53:16Shit!
00:53:19Come back!
00:53:43I remember how I meant
00:53:47Didn't need a second guess
00:53:54Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice
00:53:57Alice, hey, hey, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice
00:54:00Alice
00:54:07You're awake
00:54:09Where, where am I?
00:54:11A local clinic
00:54:12Passerby brought you in
00:54:15Passerby
00:54:16He found you on the side of the road
00:54:18He had to leave, he didn't leave a name
00:54:21Oh
00:54:24The interview, what time is it?
00:54:26Easy
00:54:26It's okay
00:54:27Someone already contacted the university
00:54:29And sent in your writing samples
00:54:32They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow
00:54:34Wait, what, who?
00:54:35No idea, but it's all taken care of
00:54:40What did you say?
00:54:42Nothing
00:54:43I just
00:54:46Had a dream
00:54:56I got him!
00:55:02Oh, I knew it
00:55:05Too bad Charles isn't here to watch you crush it
00:55:07He's not here
00:55:09Oh, you didn't know
00:55:12Know what?
00:55:14He left
00:55:14A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went
00:55:18Honestly, Asher's been quieter without him
00:55:21It's probably for the best
00:55:22Come on
00:55:22I couldn't stay
00:55:25I couldn't wait
00:55:26I thought that you should know that I would have
00:55:30I'm hanging around
00:55:32The summer I met Charles Kenwood was loud
00:55:37Chaotic
00:55:38Unexpected
00:55:41And with his absence
00:55:43Come on
00:55:45It ended quietly
00:55:48Like summers always do
00:56:02And joining us today
00:56:05The decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon
00:56:09Alice Keaton
00:56:10Thank you for having me
00:56:11No, your words moved millions
00:56:14They say your stories feel real
00:56:17Especially the ones about love
00:56:19Thank you
00:56:19Which brings us to the most obvious question
00:56:22How's your dating life like these days?
00:56:24No comment
00:56:25A little bird told me that the past four years
00:56:28Has been just writing and working
00:56:31Not even a single date
00:56:32Let me guess, a bird named Sherry
00:56:34She caught me
00:56:35Still no comment
00:56:36All right, all right
00:56:37No matter what you say
00:56:39You write love like someone who's lived it
00:56:43If you're so real
00:56:44Because once
00:56:45I did
00:56:46That's why today we're here
00:56:47Sharing the story behind Alice Keaton
00:56:50And no one ever quite matched the light after that
00:56:53And let's give it up for Alice Keaton
00:56:56One more time
00:57:07Congratulations, Alice
00:57:08The numbers just came in
00:57:09You broke your own record
00:57:12That's incredible
00:57:14We're thinking celebration
00:57:15Press
00:57:16Photos
00:57:17Maybe tonight
00:57:18Actually
00:57:19There's something I'd rather do
00:57:22I'd like to meet with the person who
00:57:24Believed in me first
00:57:26My sponsor
00:57:27You're sure?
00:57:29Yeah
00:57:29Just once
00:57:32Tonight
00:57:327pm
00:57:43Good evening
00:57:48Good evening
00:57:52May I sit?
00:57:58Hey Mr. Nonchalant
00:58:03Hi
00:58:04Hi
00:58:07You look well
00:58:10And you look like you just stepped out of a GQ cover
00:58:14You always did
00:58:16You were expecting someone else
00:58:19I was
00:58:21Hoping
00:58:23But I guess I always knew
00:58:25I didn't come here to confuse you
00:58:27Or to reopen anything
00:58:31I just wanted to say congratulations
00:58:34Oh
00:58:35Thank you
00:58:37Thanks for keeping us
00:58:39Didn't know you're still reading
00:58:40You were rich enough not to do so
00:58:44Always
00:58:45Either way
00:58:46Your sponsorship started my career
00:58:49So
00:58:50No
00:58:50No
00:58:51You weren't everything
00:58:56Every word
00:58:57Every page
00:59:00Every reader
00:59:02That's what I came to say
00:59:07It was good to see you again
00:59:09I hope
00:59:09Charles
00:59:12Can you just
00:59:14Wait a little longer
00:59:23I think I knew it was you
00:59:25There was one email
00:59:28You said something
00:59:29It felt familiar
00:59:31Really?
00:59:32Kind of had that
00:59:33Rich asshole with a conscience energy
00:59:35Very on brand
00:59:38I should have anonymized my grammar
00:59:40Too late
00:59:40Your semicolon usage gave you away
00:59:43Still the only girl I know
00:59:45Who flirts through punctuation
00:59:46Still the only guy I know
00:59:48Who uses wiles unironically
00:59:52You've changed
00:59:54But
00:59:56Not really
00:59:58You haven't changed
01:00:01But
01:00:01Maybe you've grown into
01:00:03Who you really were
01:00:06Anyway
01:00:07I wanted to say
01:00:09Thank you
01:00:11And
01:00:13Thanks for being here tonight
01:00:15You didn't have to come
01:00:17Don't tell me
01:00:18What I have to do
01:00:19You didn't have to come
01:00:24Don't tell me
01:00:25What I have to do
01:00:46If you could go back
01:00:48If you had the chance
01:00:49To do it all again
01:00:50Would you do anything differently?
01:00:57No
01:01:02No
01:01:03No
01:01:07I see
01:01:11I know my answer now
01:01:13I didn't have the power
01:01:14Back then
01:01:15Not enough to protect you
01:01:17I couldn't watch you
01:01:18I couldn't watch you get crushed
01:01:19Because of me
01:01:20Because of my name
01:01:22My family
01:01:25I didn't want to be the reason
01:01:26You lost everything
01:01:28So you just disappeared
01:01:29Without a word
01:01:34If you had the chance
01:01:35To see the world
01:01:36Without me weighing you down
01:01:38If you still chose me
01:01:39After that
01:01:44You keep saying
01:01:45You wanted to give me a choice
01:01:47But you made a choice for me
01:01:51Did it ever cross your mind
01:01:53That maybe
01:01:56I would have chosen you anyway
01:02:04I didn't think I was the smart choice
01:02:06You weren't
01:02:09But
01:02:10I never claimed to be that smart
01:02:20This is me
01:02:21Right
01:02:29I'm still mad at you
01:02:33You know
01:02:34I'm still in love with you
01:02:35You know
01:02:43Do 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
01:02:52To 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
01:03:03What I have to do
01:03:19Stop quoting yourself
01:03:20I recycle
01:03:21It saves energy
01:03:23This feels
01:03:24Wildly irresponsible
01:03:26You sound like a disclaimer
01:03:27You're the one who once called
01:03:28Romance a distraction
01:03:30I said that
01:03:31Yeah
01:03:31Before calling Wuthering Heights overrated
01:03:34Still is
01:03:36You're lucky you're a good kisser
01:03:41That is cute
01:03:43Don't you dare quote poetry
01:03:44I wasn't going to
01:03:46I forgot all of it the day you left
01:03:48Then shut up
01:03:50And prove it
01:03:58I 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
01:04:31I vowed to always tell you the truth
01:04:34I vow to always tell you the truth
01:04:34Except for when you ask how your cooking was
01:04:36Then 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 on 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 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 going to cry harder
01:05:38I can't believe you picked Paris
01:05:44Such a cliche honeymoon destination
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
01:06:00Go change
01:06:02Don't tell me what I have to do
01:06:07No
01:06:08No
01:06:09No no no
01:06:10That is not an invitation
01:06:11Do not take off these clothes
01:06:13You're overruled
01:06:13You 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
01:06:31Sometimes I want to be on my own
01:06:34But I don't want to die alone
01:06:37Go
01:07:02It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these
01:07:07Books
01:07:08Help us develop
01:07:09Learn
01:07:10And grow
01:07:11Go
