00:03:21like a mutual decision and second I think he's arrogant cold thinks he's untouchable but if you

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

00:14:51Anne 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
00:16:15Alice
00:16:16Alice
00:16:17Alice
00:16:17Alice
00:16:19Are you happy with how we ended?
00:16:25What are you doing here?
00:16:29Can you get off me first?
00:16:40You'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. You'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?
00:17:20Don't worry I can handle it.
00:17:22You shouldn't have to.
00:17:26I'm...
00:17:27Sorry.
00:17:34Sorry.
00:17:40Did you just...
00:17:41apologize 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.
00:17:49I can't.
00:17:50I can't.
00:17:52You okay?
00:17:55Why are you drenched?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:57I just...
00:17:59took a weird shower.
00:18:00Tap exploded.
00:18:03Come on.
00:18:04Let's go.
00:18:04There you go.
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 fans.
00:19:11Well, for what it's worth...
00:19:12I heard Charles looked pretty freaked out when he ran out last night.
00:19:17Please.
00:19:17He just didn't want a lawsuit.
00:19:36Being a scholarship student has its perks.
00:19:39Like saving a fortune on tuition.
00:19:41And getting into schools that normally wouldn't even let you pass the gates.
00:19:46Hey! We miss you in Paris!
00:19:49Though there are enough Americans to remind us of you.
00:19:52But sometimes, being here means staying behind.
00:19:55And watching Ashford Elites go on a two-week enrichment program you can never afford.
00:20:02Have fun.
00:20:03Bring me something overpriced and unnecessary.
00:20:10The trip cost 20 grand in pounds.
00:20:13Which translates to...
00:20:15Mom's salary for half a year.
00:20:17So yeah.
00:20:18I didn't go.
00:20:40What are you doing here? Do you not believe in shirts?
00:20:43Do you not believe in dignity?
00:20:45It's comfortable.
00:20:46You look like a rejected Ewok.
00:20:48This... this is not even your kitchen.
00:20:50And this is not even your house.
00:20:52And yet, you're here, dressed like this.
00:20:55Just don't look. Go away.
00:20:57Hard not to.
00:20:58And you're walking around dressed like that.
00:21:00What do you guys call it?
00:21:03Um... buzzkill... cock block.
00:21:06You're insufferable.
00:21:07You're the one cosplaying at breakfast.
00:21:09You know what? I 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?
00:21:21Where would I go?
00:21:22I could practically recite the itinerary in my sleep.
00:21:26Florence.
00:21:27Walk in the great footsteps of Dante, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Titian.
00:21:32Or Tiziano, if you want to sound extra pretentious.
00:21:36Then Venice, because everybody loves a good canal
00:21:39and getting lost in the most confusing city on Earth.
00:21:42The next stop, Napoli.
00:21:44Marvel at Pompeii.
00:21:45Pretend you're shocked. Ancient people had plumbing.
00:21:48The final stop...
00:21:50Harry.
00:21:51The ultimate city of romance.
00:21:54And, naturally, Woody Allen's favourite city outside of New York.
00:22:01That's... word for word.
00:22:03I told you.
00:22:04I've done this tour so many times, I could run it.
00:22:07Okay, but still, it's Europe.
00:22:09Most people would kill for that chance.
00:22:11Most people haven't had their phones stolen in Paris.
00:22:14Twice.
00:22:16Also, I hate the accommodations.
00:22:18Aren't they all five-star hotels?
00:22:20Standard rooms in five-star hotels.
00:22:23No, thank you.
00:22:25Wow.
00:22:26Some were born in Rome, huh?
00:22:27That's unfortunate.
00:22:28It's a very chaotic city.
00:22:30One word of advice?
00:22:31Shut up.
00:22:32That's two words.
00:22:35You're weird.
00:22:36You're loud.
00:22:37You're annoying.
00:22:37You're in my kitchen.
00:22:38You have three other kitchens.
00:22:40And I prefer this one.
00:22:42Just for today.
00:22:43Come back when you've got a shirt on.
00:22:45Come back with normal clothes on.
00:22:46You didn't have to come.
00:22:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:22:57Master Charles, roads are flooded.
00:22:59Staff won't make it tonight.
00:23:00Will you be alright sorting dinner?
00:23:05I've got it sorted.
00:23:29I've got it sorted.
00:23:31You'll survive.
00:23:33I'm not selling my body.
00:23:38I'm not selling my body.
00:23:44Wow.
00:23:45I am deeply offended.
00:23:48That thought disgusts me.
00:23:50Then what are you doing?
00:23:51The staff's off tonight.
00:23:53I'm buying dinner.
00:23:57Did you seriously think I'd spend a hundred pounds on-
00:24:00No, I'm- I-
00:24:01Jesus.
00:24:02Wait.
00:24:04You think I'm not worth one hundred pounds?
00:24:07I'm not spending one hundred pounds to snort Chewbacca.
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, stir-fried veggies, and french fries.
00:24:23You're welcome.
00:24:25Interesting combo.
00:24:26Well, I know we're not in Italy or France, but this'll do.
00:24:31It's...
00:24:31Good.
00:24:38Was that a compliment?
00:24:40Although...
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, likely born in South America.
00:24:49You should read more.
00:24:52Put it down.
00:24:54I paid for it.
00:24:55You really just have to win every argument, don't you?
00:24:57To be fair.
00:24:59You make it very easy.
00:25:01It's only easy because it cost you a hundred pounds.
00:25:05You know, if you'd ask for more, I probably would've given it to you.
00:25:07I'll make sure about it.
00:25:22I'll make sure about it.
00:25:23I'll make sure about it.
00:25:23Hey, Alice. It's fine.
00:25:25You're fine.
00:25:339-1-1, what's with your emergency?
00:25:399-1-1, what's with your emergency?
00:25:41It's my dad. He needs help. He just had a stroke.
00:25:44Okay, miss. Hurricane's constant traffic shut down.
00:25:47Get to you as soon as we can.
00:25:48Please, he's not well.
00:25:50I understand. Can you confirm your address?
00:25:54Daddy, yes, I'm right here.
00:25:56All right. My daughter.
00:26:00Please, stay with me, Dad. Please.
00:26:07No. Please, wake up.
00:26:13Dad, please. Please don't leave me.
00:26:16Sorry.
00:26:18Please, wake up.
00:26:22No.
00:26:28I'm okay.
00:26:29No.
00:26:30No.
00:26:32No.
00:26:34No.
00:26:35No.
00:26:45No.
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, you know Snarky come back?
00:27:06Not tonight, I'm too tired. If you're here to argue, knock yourself out.
00:27:13You were calling for your dad, right?
00:27:17Hurricane 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.
00:27:36Peaceful, 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?
00:28:34You 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.
00:28:43All yours.
00:28:49This is your home.
00:28:51Alice Keaton.
00:28:57Careful.
00:28:59Almost sounded sweet.
00:29:01Don't push it.
00:29:02Don't push it.
00:29:02Okay then.
00:29:06I have...
00:29:08One request.
00:29:11What is it?
00:29:19Are you ever going to make a move?
00:29:21Wait.
00:29:22Give me a second.
00:29:23I'm thinking.
00:29:24You had one wish.
00:29:26Anything in the world.
00:29:28And in the middle of a thunderstorm,
00:29:30inside a literal mansion,
00:29:32you chose chess.
00:29:34Yeah. Got a problem?
00:29:36It's just so cool.
00:29:37Like, 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?
00:29:47For the tenth time,
00:29:49it moves in an L shape.
00:29:52One.
00:29:53Two.
00:29:54Then turn.
00:29:56There.
00:29:58Happy?
00:29:58Ecstatic.
00:30:01You know.
00:30:02That's suicide.
00:30:04Or a brilliant long-term sacrifice.
00:30:06You are playing checkers at a chess board.
00:30:08Still beating you in sarcasm.
00:30:09You literally haven't won any past arguments.
00:30:11Golding disagrees.
00:30:13It's going to be a long night.
00:30:14Oh my, no.
00:30:16What's wrong with that?
00:30:17You, you can't do that.
00:30:17You, you can't do that.
00:30:19Oh my, no.
00:30:19Can I do that as well?
00:30:19I'm not doing that as well.
00:30:20Can I do that as well?
00:30:20Can I do that as well?
00:30:20No.
00:30:21You had to shock the trip and about it all wrong?
00:30:24Time to pull you in close as we're locked on your phone.
00:30:28Oh yeah.
00:30:33Showing up at my door.
00:30:36Holding your heart there inside your hands.
00:30:40Maybe, he's not so awful after all.
00:30:50um who are you

00:45:24don't excuse me I warned you walk away Serena
00:45:50last week's group assignments were mostly forgettable but one pair surprised me in a good way
00:45:58Charles Kenwood and Alice Keaton would you mind giving us a short summary
00:46:03she loves the sound of her own voice better have it
00:46:14Our essay explored what happens when two fundamentally different voices meet, like logic and chaos, or silence and noise.
00:46:23Different worlds, different rules.
00:46:28At first glance, they clash, but what makes the story interesting is what happens next.
00:46:35Confusion, curiosity.
00:46:36But in the end, some stories aren't about staying.
00:46:40And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:46:52And yes, there is no such thing as a happy ending.
00:46:56Is she still talking about the essay?
00:47:01Miss Keaton?
00:47:03Dramatic as always.
00:47:05Alright.
00:47:06Thank you, Alice.
00:47:07That was...
00:47:09Laid.
00:47:11Are you okay?
00:47:12A reminder that good literature always stirs something.
00:47:19Hello?
00:47:20Hi, here's Alice Keaton.
00:47:21This is Whitmore Press.
00:47:22We've been following your work.
00:47:24We'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.
00:47:36Who's behind this?
00:47:37Your sponsor wishes to remain anonymous.
00:47:40Can...
00:47:41Can I meet them?
00:47:43I want to.
00:47:45Please.
00:47:46Or at least tell me a name.
00:47:52Sorry, they wish to stay in office.
00:47:53So they're only interested in work, not the person.
00:47:55I'd really like to meet them.
00:47:57I'm sorry, Miss Keaton.
00:47:58Name was very soon.
00:47:59I think the most generous offer we've ever given in New York City.
00:48:03I see.
00:48:03Congratulations again.
00:48:09You got the interview.
00:48:11It's just an interview.
00:48:11I haven't gotten it yet.
00:48:13Still, Alice 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.
00:48:44Miss 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.
00:48:54No, it's better if I stay out of her life.
00:48:56I will be there for you, babe.
00:49:01I'll be there in your darkest days.
00:49:05Congratulations, Alice Keaton.
00:49:08Go live the life you were always meant to.
00:49:15Your engagement announcement should align perfectly with the Foundation Gala.
00:49:20And the Browns already offered to host the London reception.
00:49:25It's all coming together beautifully.
00:49:31I've lost my appetite.
00:49:36I'll go check on him.
00:49:42What's your problem, Charles?
00:49:47This engagement is 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.
00:50:13You've changed.
00:50:29Charles!
00:50:30You're the sponsor.
00:50:32You've been funding Alice Keaton this whole time.
00:50:37So?
00:50:38You lied to everyone, including her.
00:50:41I protected her.
00:50:45You loved her.
00:50:47Still do.
00:50:49Let it go, Serena.
00:50:52There's no point.
00:51:02I need a favour.
00:51:04Find out when the Oxford interview is.
00:51:07And make sure Alice Keaton won't show up.
00:51:14Anything?
00:51:15No?
00:51:16She's not answering.
00:51:18The interview's almost over.
00:51:20Well, she won't just not show up.
00:51:22Something's wrong.
00:51:24Where's Alice?
00:51:26When was the last time you heard from her?
00:51:28Last night.
00:51:29She said she was prepping all evening.
00:51:34James, track someone for me.
00:51:38Wait, where are you going?
00:51:44Eh!
00:51:45Ah!
00:51:46Ah!
00:51:46Ah!
00:51:47Chill, OK!
00:51:48It won't hurt you!
00:51:50Yeah, we're just supposed to keep you away from the interview.
00:51:53That's it.
00:52:01Shit! Come back!
00:52:31I remember how it meant, didn't need a second guess.
00:52:40Hey, hey, hey, Alice, Alice.
00:52:43Alice, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, Alice.
00:52:46Alice!
00:52:53You're awake.
00:52:55Where, where am I?
00:52:57A local clinic. Passer-by brought you in.
00:53:00Passer-by?
00:53:02He found you on the side of the road.
00:53:04He had to leave, he didn't leave a name.
00:53:07Oh.
00:53:10The interview, what time is it?
00:53:12Easy, it's okay.
00:53:13Someone already contacted the university.
00:53:16Anne sent in your writing samples.
00:53:18They've rescheduled your interview for tomorrow.
00:53:20Wait, what, who?
00:53:21No idea, but it's all taken care of.
00:53:27What did you say?
00:53:29Nothing.
00:53:31I just...
00:53:32had a dream.
00:53:40Yeah.
00:53:43Did you...
00:53:44I got in!
00:53:45Ah!
00:53:48Oh, 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.
00:54:01A few days ago, yeah, everyone doesn't really know where he went.
00:54:04Honestly, Ashra's been quieter without him.
00:54:06It's probably for the best.
00:54:08Come on.
00:54:14Alice!
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!
00:54:30It ended quietly.
00:54:34Like summers always do.
00:54:49And joining us today, the decade's most unexpected literary phenomenon, Alice Keaton.
00:54:55Thank you for having me.
00:54:56Now, 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
00:55:17a single date.
00:55:18Let me guess, a bird named Sherry.
00:55:19Ah!
00:55:19She caught me!
00:55:20Still no comment.
00:55:22Alright, alright.
00:55:23No 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 hear Sherry's story behind...
00:55:34Alice Keaton's...
00:55:36And no one ever quite matched the light after that.
00:55:38And let's give it up for Alice Keaton one more time.
00:55:52Congratulations, Alice.
00:55:54The numbers just came in.
00:55:55You broke your own record.
00:55:58That's...
00:55:58incredible.
00:55:59We're thinking celebration?
00:56:01Press?
00:56:02Photos?
00:56:03Maybe tonight?
00:56:04Actually, 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.
00:56:13You're sure?
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16Just once.
00:56:17Tonight.
00:56:187pm.
00:56:29Good evening.
00:56:34Good evening.
00:56:37May I sit?
00:56:48Hello.
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.
00:57:37You've...
00:57:37You 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 speak to me?
00:57:59Just...
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?
00:58:17Kinda had that...
00:58:18Rich asshole with a conscience energy.
00:58:21What's that?
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 wiles unironically.
00:58:37You've changed.
00:58:40But...
00:58:41Not really.
00:58:43You haven't changed.
00:58:46But...
00:58:47Maybe you've grown into who you really were.
00:58:51Anyway.
00:58:52I wanted to say...
00:58:57And...
00:58:58Thanks for being here tonight.
00:59:00You didn't have to come.
00:59:02Don't tell me what I have to do.
00:59:04I 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?
00:59:41No.
00:59:46No.
00:59:51No.
00:59:52I see.
00:59:55I know my answer now.
00:59:57I didn't have the power back then.
01:00:00I didn't have the power back then.
01:00:00Not enough to protect you.
01:00:02I couldn't watch you get crushed because of me.
01:00:05Because of my name.
01:00:07My family.
01:00:10I didn't want to be the reason you lost everything.
01:00:12So you just disappeared.
01:00:14Without a word.
01:00:18If you had the chance to see the world.
01:00:21Without me weighing you down.
01:00:23If you still chose me after that.
01:00:27That's...
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.
01:00:51You 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.
01:01:34Who you haven't seen in four years.
01:01:37To come into your hotel.
01:01:38At approximately 11pm.
01:01:41You were right.
01:01:43You never were that smart.
01:01:45You don't have to come.
01:01:47Don't tell me what I have to do.
01:02:03Stop quoting yourself.
01:02:04I recycle. It 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.
01:02:16Before 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.
01:02:29I wasn't going to.
01:02:30I forgot all of it 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, they're either worst enemies or secretly married.
01:02:47And I told you, they're both.
01:02:48Oh yes.
01:02:52It's more than enough to let go.
01:02:55In my mind it's enough to let go.
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. Always.
01:03:33Even when you forget to do the laundry.
01:03:37Is he actually good at this?
01:03:39I mean, he did beat 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.
01:05:19But I don't wanna die alone.
01:05:21God!
01:05:21God!
01:05:23God!
01:05:25God!
01:05:34My king!
01:05:38God!
01:05:39OK!
01:05:40OK, OK, OK.
01:05:46It's up to us to make sure that we can gain what's been passed through these books.
