[At Pestalozzi – Volleyball court]

Caro: Ohh, it this new???

Sophie: Yes

Caro: Cool. Let me see!!! What was that all about?

Sophie: I… just wanted to put it on myself.

 

[At Pestalozzi – School yard]

Caro: Is that your sweater?

Timo: Yes.

Caro: Understand…

 

Caro(to Sophie): Watch it! You have to decide where you stand! And I advise you, think twice! Because if you choose the wrong side... you will fare just as badly as the other losers creeping through these halls... I will finish you!

 

 

Intro

 

 

[At Pestalozzi]

Sophie: Caro… Things between me and Timo are really over.

Caro: And why didn`t you tell me that it was his fu**ing sweater and that you were about to give it back to him???

Sophie: Because I know that the T name is a controversial issue… and it seems like I was right. OMG. You are my friend… I don´t have to choose. I already did!!!

Caro: Okay.

Sophie: What is going on? At first you kick that nerd out of the court and then you want to fight with me because of that fu**ing jacket. This morning everything was great, you did it with Ben in his car. What is going on?

Oh damn it. He acted like nothing happened!

Oh shit, I’m so sorry. You are going to just completely ignore him.

Caro: You’re right. And if he wants me back, he has to fight for it.

 

 

[At the Chulos]

Michael: Sebastian. Hey!!!

Sebastian: Hey. No school, dear brother?

Michael: No, I have a break.

Sebastian: Great. Then you can help me. There are a lot more of them in the basement.

Michael: Forget it. I would rather have a Bourbon. Double, no, quadruple.

Sebastian: Okay .So… what is going on?

Michael: Mhh, what is going… (Michael realizes that Sebastian is really starting to pour him a glass)You would treat your brother to a quadruple bourbon during his break???

Sebastian: Who said anything about treating??? But I think there is a reason for your special order?!? And I think the reason has brown hair, a pretty face and is the colleague with whom you met half job-related. And that’s how it stayed.

Michael: No, we kissed.

Sebastian: WOW, that’s great.

Michael: Yes. No, it’s not. We kissed and then she backed down.

Sebastian: Then you should kiss more… for practice.

Michael: Sebastian… that’s not funny,

Sebastian: Yes, sorry. Shit.

Michael: No. Until then we had a nice evening. We went to a living room jam and she sang and how she sang and then we wound up here

Sebastian: And she didn’t get that you were interested in her?

Michael: For a while it seemed to me that she was too and then… she put on the brakes.

Sebastian: I’ve been there. Women!!!

Michael: There’s nothing you can do. (Oh Michael, how I wish you would stick to that.)

Sebastian: No.

Michael. Thank you.

Sebastian: Michael… if you need a distraction… your half-brother is always happy to see you. And some nice women are, too.

Michael. Then to the other nice women. Cheers.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi – class room]

 

Bea is cleaning the backboard with a thoroughness I’ve never seen from any of my teachers. Alexandra enters and then takes a seat at one of the tables so she can watch Bea.

 

Lohmann: Unusual perspective… and yet somehow familiar.

Bea: Sometimes it is not so bad to change the perspective.

Lohmann. You always sat in the front. Pretty close to the teacher’s desk.

Bea: I was already short-sighted back then. And you … always sat in the back and annoyed everybody with your nasty attacks.

 

Flashback

Lohmann(to her sister): He'swith youinthe dyslexiaclass, isn’t he?

They laugh.

Flashback ends

 

Lohmann: My sister was always able to laugh at my comments,

because we understood each other without saying a word.

 

Bea: Yes, Franziska and you, you were always very similar to each other.

Lohmann: You hated her, just as I hate you now.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi]

Timo sums.

Luzi: You seem to be totally smitten by the singing.

Timo: It was a great day.

Luzi: I told you. In your state, it is exactly the right thing to do.

Do you want to meet later at our free period to sing the song again? Together?

Not…not that we were bad but I think we can do better.

Timo: If you think so.

Luzi: Just if you want to…of course…

Timo: Sure, why not??? I would like to.

Luzi: Okay, see you later in the auditorium.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi]

Ms Jäger: We still have these two gaps in the exam’s supervision.

Ms Krawczyk: Mr. Heisig, can I ask you a favor?

Michael: Of course.

Ms Krawzcyk: I still need a supervisor for the exam this afternoon, eighth period. Would you do it?

Michael: This afternoon… yes, that should work.

Do you still need me?

Ms Krawczyk: Wait a moment.

Bea… could you supervise an exam this afternoon?

Bea: Yes, I don’t have any classes then.

Ms Krawczyk: Great. Then I would ask both of you to …(this afternoon)

Michael: I just remembered that I have a parent-teacher conference at that hour.

I’m sorry, but I am sure that you will find someone else. (He’s such a bitchy drama queen, isn’t he?)

Ms Krawczyk: Damn it. (She sees another teacher) Colleague!

 

 

[At Pestalozzi– School yard]

 

Sophie is standing with some other students

Student: Math on Tuesday was so though.

Sophie: The horror. A complete catastrophe, I think.

Theyare talking with each other when Sophie sees Timo. She stops talking, turns and walks away.

Timo: Hey hey hey, now just wait a minute.

Sophie: What?

Timo: Say, are you afraid of Caro seeing us together?

Sophie: Mhh, well, you are not her favorite person.

Timo: Ohh, really?!

Sophie: She noticed the sweater.

Timo: And what did you say?

Sophie: That I gave it back to you and… that things are over between us.

Timo walks away.

Sophie: Timo. Iliedto her intentionally.

Timo: Why? It’s true.

Sophie: No, it’s not true… at least not for me. If Caro realizes, I’m done for.

Timo: How do you think this is going to work?

Sophie: I have no idea.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi – Michael’s office]

Ben knocks on Michael’s office door.

 

Michael: Come in.

Ben: Hello.

Michael: Hello Mr. Bergmann. You don’t have to worry… This here… please (he offers him a seat)…isn’t an interrogation room.

Ben: But it smells a little like one.

Michael: You could say that it is more like a listening room.

Ben(laughs): Listening room???

Michael: There is nobody here who thinks that there is no solution for your problems.

Nobody who tells you what to do or not to do. Here, it’s just me… and I’m listening to you.

Ben: And everything is written down on a piece of paper and goes straight on the principal’s desk.

Michael: No, everything we talk about stays between us. I promise.

This is a real chance for you, Ben and to be honest, I don’t know how many you will still get. So, I would take it. You have nothing to lose.

Ben: Ahhm, my… my childhood wasn’t as carefree as everybody thinks. I mean, of course it is always Ben from the rich home, Ben the cool guy, Ben the daredevil. He has no problems but…

What are you writing down?

Michael: I’m just taking some notes… for myself.

Ben: Nobody here has experienced what I have, that’s for sure. It happened in our house on Mallorca.

I was alone and worked on my surfboard and... I went to bed and before I fell asleep I heard that noise. Of course I was startled, maybe a burglar or… something else.

I was alone and my parents were on the other side of the island to visit some friends and stayed there over night.

Michael: And you were afraid…

Ben: I was so afraid. I searched the whole house but…there was nothing.

I… there was just nothing. I went back to my room and then there was this… light, like fire. One beam completely focused on me. The next thing I remember is that I woke up on some kind of examination tableand around me all these high-tech machines. And then I saw them…

Michael: Them?

Ben: Yes, the aliens of course. (Heh! Psych!)I think that’s it for today.

Michael: For now, yes. We’ll see each other next week again at the same time… I am looking forward to part two.

Ben leaves Michael’s office.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi - Auditorium]

 

Bea sings Dreams by Gabrielle.

Ms Jäger(claps her hands):Bravo. You have such a beautiful voice. I’m deeply moved.

Bea: This is the song with which we won the school choir festival in 2000. Since then we haven’t sung.

Ms Jäger: Was it after the… a sad story about Ms. Lohmann’s sister.

Bea: Yes.

Ms Jäger: I’m happy that you came back. We need someone like you here.

Bea: Thank you.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi – big stairs]

 

Ben is sitting on the stairs when Caro comes up to him.

Caro: Hey. So how was your therapy hour with Heisig?

Ben: Very amusing.

He’s staring at his stalker picture on his phone again.(It’s not as if people aren’t coming down the stairs behind him who would have a good view of his screen, as well.)

Caro: That means you haven’t talked about your relationship problems?

Ben: What relationship problems?

Caro: I think there is nothing worse than making out in the school hallway and then leaving holding hands together. That’s so boring.

Ben: I think so too.

Caro: Thank god. And I already thought you wanted more and expected us to be the a-level couple of 2010.

Ben: No, certainly not.

Caro: Then everything is fine. See you!

Ben: Bye.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi, Götting’s office]

 

Götting: Is everything alright?

Everything’s going great… you will soon fly to Mallorca with your team, come back, win the national league, Ben will make a mistake again and with that money we will get a new volleyball court and Krawczyk surely will go down soon and then it is our turn.

What is wrong with you today?

Lohmann: You really ask me, what is wrong with me??? The last few months you imagined how our future will be and with who do I have to sleep… with Bob. The safest bank in the world and the worst lover in the whole universe and WHY???

Because you are not able to finally become principal, kick Bea Vogel out and give me the life that I deserve.

They start kissing.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi]

Music in the background is Kiss from a rose by Luzi and Timo.

 

Sophie: Come with me.

Sophie kisses Timo.

Sophie: I thought maybe we can meet in secret?

Timo: Yes.

Sophie: I can understand if you don’t want to.

Timo: Sure, sure.

Sophie: It was the biggest mistake of my life to break up with you.

I can barely stand it to come to school without being allowed to touch you.

They kiss again.

 

Meanwhile, Luzi is waiting in the auditorium for Timo to show up.He doesn’t and she leaves.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi- auditorium]

 

Timo comes running in.

Timo: Luzi….

Timo tries to call Luzi.

Luzi’s voicemail: Hey, this is Luzi.

Timo: Shit!!!

Luzi’s voicemail: Unfortunately I’m not available but you can call me at home.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi - Hallway]

 

Bea: Sorry for being late. (we didn’t expect anything else from you, Bea)

College: No problem. There are 15 pupils.

Bea: Okay. Thank you.

A student comes out of the toilet.

Guy: Matze Koose.

Bea: Okay.

Bea writes it down.At the same time, someone else enters the school toilets. Bea jumps up and follows in.

Bea: Wait a moment. Hello?!

She sees Michael about to enter a stall. (We see the school toilet that had such great Jemma moments. Is this a unisex bathroom? Or does it switch to whatever is needed at the moment, like the Magic Jemma Shoes?)

Bea: Ohh sorry. I thought you were a pupil.

She pulls at the door handle and it comes loose.

Bea: Shit.

Bea tries to put it in again but only manages to push the handle on the other side out as well.

Bea: Shit.

Michael: Your skills are really legendary.

 

 

[At Bergmann’s residence]

 

Ben(is on his cell phone, in English):Are you kidding me??? I mean, ten thousand Euros for what??? Listen, my dad just came in now. I will call you back, okay?

Stefan: Is there a problem?

Ben: You could say that. I need ten thousand euros or the project ‘surf shop’ is dead.

Mark has miscalculated.

Stefan: But you do remember our last conversation, right?

Ben: Yes, of course. But that was before I decided to go back to school. (Why didn’t Ben and Lara hook up with each other in the beginning? Their maturity level is a perfect fit.)

Stefan: You decided???

Well, I’d say, I was nice enough to support you after your absurdadmission of guilt.

All of that cost me about the same amount as what you need for your surf shop now.

Or who do you think pays for the camp on Mallorca for the beautiful girls in their bikinis?

Ben: I thought the teachers voted.

Stefan: And how do you think this vote would have turned out if I hadn’t taken care of it?

Trust be Ben, no school in this world would take on all that trouble with you voluntarily.

Ben: Still, I didn’t have to go back. So we have a deal…

Stefan: No, buddy. We don’t have a deal anymore. You are just lucky that you got off so lightly. You have lost the right to our deal with you childish behavior.

Ben: You know that that is little unf…

Stefan: And may I remind you that you would rather live on the street than become like me?

Ben, if you want me to take you seriously then do me one favor, stop living your counterproductive life with my fortune.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi- Bathrooms]

 

Michael: Can’t you think before you do something?

Bea: Excuse me???

Michael: If you can’t think about it?

Bea: What do you mean?

Michael: My cell phone is in my jacket.

Bea: And where is it?

Michael: Do I look like someone who takes his jacket to the bathroom?

Please give me yours, then I can call the janitor. (Because the little woman is unable to handle such a call herself? Michael, I thought you became an asshole because Bea had to break up with you so she could get back with Ben, and so it wasn’t really your fault. But you always were an asshole with delusions of entitlement. Bea has the worst taste in men. It’s obvious she should stick to women.)

Bea: Mine is in my bag and it is…

What??? You don’t have yours here too.

Michael: But I haven’t broken the door handle.

Bea: What is going on? Why are you so furious?

Michael: Tell me Bea, on which planet do you live? (Uranos?)

Don’t you think I cannot imagine something better than being locked here in the bathroom with you after you turned me down twice? And then invited me to dinner and totally turned my head, kissed me, just to turn me down again? And then talked with me about the newest requirementsofthe Ministry of Culture the next morning. And to make it worse, even tried to have a nice conversation with me? (I think that’s called not letting your private life affect your work, Mr. “No, I don’t want to listen to you talk about the school we both work for being turned into a Borg cube because you broke up with me”.)

 

 

[At Bergmann’s residence]

 

Ben: You’re such an arrogant son of a bitch.

Stefan: Just speak your mind. Was that all?

Ben: You enjoy kicking other people’s butt, right???

That’s how you enhance your own status in a perverse sort of way.

Stefan: Maybe you see it like that.

Ben: Come on; tell me how it really is.

Stefan: I just can stand to look at people who don’t take care of themselves.

The weak ones get kicked, that the law of nature. All I want is to help you to take care of yourself in this world outside.

Ben: Like it was with mum?

Of course you just wanted to help her too by wearing her down with your cold and ignorant way.

Stefan: Keep your mum out of it.

Ben: What are you afraid off? That I’ll tell the truth??

You have killed her with your fucking character and you know that.
