[Previously on Hand aufs Herz]

 

Gabriele: I went over our budget and I decided to grant you Stefan Bergmann's donation for the purchase of a stereo system.

 

Alexandra: Now I know why I have to give up my volleyball field... Because you're hooking up with Bergmann!

[Flashback of Bea and Ben's night]

(I think I can draw that night from memory by now..and I can't even draw.)

 

[Opening]

 

Alexandra: Did you really think you could just pull that off behind our backs?(Uh,yes?)

Bea: I was going to talk to Frau Krawcyk about it today

Alexandra: What are you going to tell her? “Excuse me, dear Frau Krawcyk, but I hopped into bed with our sponsor to pinch his donations”?! You're not above anything, are you?!

Bea: Wait a second, why sponsor?

Alexandra: Now don't you start with “I didn't know that Stefan Bergmann was a financially strong sponsor of our school”

Bea: Ahh, you … you think I hooked up with Stefan Bergmann to get the donations for your volleyball field!? [laughs] That is one funny idea!(Actually,it's not as funny as you getting his son laid!Your student..just a reminder..)

 

[Hotte walks down hall]

Caro: Hey Hotte! [She calls out for him]

Hotte: Caro!

[Caro links arms with Hotte as they proceed]

Caro: I just wanted to tell you that I think you are the most talented one in the group

Hotte: Well, Luzi is pretty good, too

Caro: Yeah, but she really gets supported by Miss Vogel and your talent totally perishes!

Hotte: You mean because she got to sing the lead part? She didn't let me sing that part...

Caro: You see?[Caro touches Hottes shoulder] I know a vocal coach... If I would talk to him, you'll probably get a few lessons...

Hotte: You would do that for me?

Caro: Well of course! Now that I'm part of your group I want the … [looks down] biggest talent of the show to be supported! So think about it! [walks away](Caro Eichkamp: Evil Vixen, etxraordinaire!)

[Hotte grins and adjusts his glasses]

 

[Bea and Miriam are setting the table]

Miriam: So? Did you tell (Frau) Krawcyk?

Bea: Didn't even get around to do so. Alexandra Lohmann grilled me again...

Lara: [comes in] Are you talking about (Frau) Lohmann? She's cool, isn't she?! What about her? Did I miss something?

Miriam: Stop pestering your aunt like that! She won't talk about colleagues!

Lara: And what about your students? You're teaching Ben, this new guy, he's really hot!

Bea: You think? What about him?

Lara: Well, do you know if he's got a girlfriend?!(wwwwaaayyyy out of your league, little Vogel!)

Miriam: [alarmed] Nobody here's interested in Ben's love life! Not Bea and especially not you!

Lara: Now I finally got someone right at the source of things and still don't find out anything!

 

[Flashback]

[Bea and Ben's night](almost forgot..)

Miriam: So you're going to (Frau) Krawcyk and tell her you had sex with your student?!

 

[Ben comes home, Stefan is working]

Ben: Hi!

Stefan: Hello!

Karin: [comes in] Hello

Ben: Hello

Karin: You must be hungry, too, don't you want something to eat?

Stefan: You see, that I am still working!

Karin: Okay, I'll put it into the microwave then.

Stefan: You can call it a day, Frau Beschenko! Ben, would you come over?

Ben: What's up?

Stefan: Tell me what happened at school today... Someone broke into the swimming pool?!

Ben: I have no idea... I heard there was a party... [Karin stops on her way out]

Stefan: Which generated substantial property damage. I told you, you can leave now!

Karin: Have a nice evening [leaves]

Ben: Bye

Stefan: I have been told today, that you were a part of it

Ben: Who says that?

Stefan: I got my sources...

Ben: Götting!

Stefan: Probably thought he could soak me again. But this new teacher ensured me that you two solved the problem

Ben: Then it'll probably be as she said.

Stefan: Not that she is going to visit me tomorrow because the music group needs a Stradivari.

 

[The Vogels are having dinner]

Lara: The swimming pool is completely closed down, they must have had one wild party! There were bottles all over the pool, even underwear!

Miriam: That really must have been pretty wild...

Lara: Yes, finally a real party and I'm not there...

Piet: And who pays for the repairs? Probably us tax-payers, we already pay for the teachers, who do - what again? Ah, yeah, right, who don't prevent students doing something like that!

Bea: Now don't act like that! Who used to spray the walls, hu?! What was that chick's name again?

Miriam: Manuela!

Both Bea and Miriam: Manuela forever!!

Lara: Really? I didn't know that!

Piet: Yeah, because you don't need to know everything...

Bea: Besides, this time cleaning as punishment won't be enough. Whoever did that really is in trouble.

 

[The Bergmanns having dinner](Which is just so much better,when Jenny is there,spearing her Sushi!)

Stefan: What really bugs me is the fact that you always find someone to hold his protective hand over you.

Ben: If you'd said Euro-bill, I'd have agreed with you right away!

Stefan: You always think you're right, no matter what you do!

Ben: I wonder where I got that!

Stefan: But I learned to bear the consequences myself for whatever I do!

Ben: Well of course...

Stefan: [gets louder] Even if there's no proof, I wouldn't be too surprised if the idea for that party and also the housebreaking were your fault!

Ben: Possible...

Stefan: [angry] Now listen to me! We may have that deal that you do your Abitur and that I am going to finance that surf shop afterwards... But that doesn't mean that I am going to serve you hand and foot in these two years and do damage limitation, just because you are too stupid to think a little!

Ben: [now angry, too] Luckily, not everyone's like you, some people are spontaneous and impulsive!

Stefan: Better be careful that I don't spontaneously ax your funds!

Ben: Of course. If you don't know what to do, everything's regulated with money... Disgusting!

 

(Oh my! Ben was Ronnie!Interesting!)

 

[Luzi's doing homework, Karin comes home]

Karin: Hello, my dear

Luzi: Hi!

Karin: Are you still doing homework?

Luzi:Exams are going to start again,soon...

Karin: You shouldn't pressure yourself like that at all times. You will accomplish the Abitur without that! [looks over the mail] Probably just bills...

Luzi: I already looked through it, nothing bad there. Almost ads only...

Karin: And while we're racking our brains over our electricity bill, others demolish a whole swimming pool!

Luzi: [looks up] What?

Karin: Bergmann talked to Ben about it. At your school there was a pretty wild party...

Luzi: I heard about that... [trying to appear indifferent]

Karin: Luckily you can have fun with your friends other than that

Luzi: Well, mum, there is something I'd like to tell you... [Karin's fallen asleep on the couch] well, um... mum? [She covers her with a blanket]

 

[Miriam puts away Piet's dishes, who's reading the paper]

Miriam: Shouldn't you get going?

Piet: Mehmet should be happy he got me at all! Without me, Özgül Döner would be nothing at all!

Miriam: And where is Lara?

Piet: I thought she's at school?

Miriam: Frau Schneider is sick.

Piet: Ouh, the fancy miss teacher. No wonder we perform so badly in the PISA study...

Miriam: [annoyed] Please don't start that subject again, I really can't hear it anymore! Bea is really involved with her students!(:-D)

Piet: Could you please stop only praising my sister?! There's a different side to her, you know that!

Miriam: If you're referring to Alexandra's twin sister – She got nothing to do with that!

Piet: Really?! Too bad nobody knows exactly what happened back then! For that we would have to find Franziska first! But nobody really cares for that as much as you do! [gets up and leaves the room while talking] At the company they wouldn't even talk to me anymore, just because I'm her brother!

Miriam: I know...

Lara: [comes in] Are you fighting?

Miriam: No, honey. We're just bothered that so many of your classes got canceled! [Piet leaves for work]

Lara: I like that...

 

[At school]

Bea: Frau Jäger? The hour of truth... [knocks at the principal's office and enters, just to find]Herr Götting! [in Frau Jäger's chair]

Götting: I didn't hear you knock

Bea: I actually wanted to see Frau Krawcyk

Götting: Did you want to make plans again together to acquire new donations?

Bea: When will she be back?

Götting: Well, with her you never really know... I am happy if she shows up at all!

Bea: What's that supposed to mean?

Götting: You're new here, you can't know yet, but Frau Krawcyk is not really the most reliable person around...

Bea: Nonsense! I've known Frau Krawcyk for quite a while – if anyone's reliable, it's her! I always experienced her to be someone who really cared for her students.

Götting: Maybe, but the only thing Frau Krawcyk's interested in anymore is the next sip from her thermos jug.

Bea: Are you suggesting there's something else in it other than coffee?!

Götting: So you missed out on the fact, that your big role model likes to take a sip too much...

Bea: Now listen, Herr Götting, I know exactly what you are up to! Defaming Frau Krawcyk, that's part of your plan! But you're not going to accomplish that!

Götting: We'll see...

 

[Hotte's waiting at the gate for Caro]

Hotte: Caro! Caro! Listen, about yesterday! I think I'll do it!

Caro: Happy to hear that!

Hotte: Maybe we'll perform sometime, I wouldn't want to look like an idiot then...

Caro: You won't

Hotte: So you'll let me know when your friend's got some time?!

Caro: If you give me your number [holds out her hand]

Hotte: Sure! [fetches a pen and scribbles on her hand]

Caro: Only for that appointment of course, I won't call you privately.

Hotte: Well, you are allowed to!

Caro: Maybe you should tell the others about the coaching, so they can come to that appointment, otherwise there'll be stupid chatter...

Hotte: Right, I'll do that

Caro: I'll call you as soon as I find out something

Hotte: Thanks Caro!

 

[Caro leaves, Hotte gets his phone out and calls Emma, who is beating the vending machine]

 

Emma: What's up?

Hotte: What do you think about private lessons with a vocal coach? Professionally!

Emma: Eh, professionally?

Luzi: [arrives at school] Hi!

Hotte: [hides his phone until she's past him] Hi... [back at the phone] That is our chance! Hold on a second! [starts a conference call with the two nameless STAG members] Listen, all of us got the unique chance for a vocal coaching! With that we'll make it big time with the music AG!

Emma: [walking up the stairs] And how are we supposed to get such a vocal coaching, I mean, that's pretty difficult...

Hotte: I already contrived that with Caro!

Emma: Did you just say Caro?

Hotte: Cool, isn't it?!

Emma: Forget it! [hangs up and leaves – the others were standing right behind her]

Hotte: Fine...

 

Ben: [buys a coffee] Keep the change

Caro: [joins him at a bar table] Hi!

Ben: Hi

Caro: So, how's it going?

Ben: Not bad

Caro: [grabs his coffee and takes a sip] May I?

Ben: I … thought you were mad because I ditched you?!

Caro: Nonsense... I'm not mad because of that... I went out with a few friends after that... Was pretty much fun... Too bad you weren't there

Ben: We can make up for that at the next opportunity... The two of us, I mean

Caro: You know... It's not a good time for that right now... I'm pretty busy... But I'll call you, when I have some time

 

[Caro enters the auditorium where Hotte is waiting]

Caro: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Stan just called, he's in a traffic jam, but he should be here soon

Hotte: Stan... Is that the vocal coach?

Caro: Exactly. He said you should already warm up

Hotte: I am already warm...

Caro: [takes out a bottle and shakes it without Hotte noticing] I meant your vocal chords... [opens the bottle which explodes all over Hotte's pants] Oh shit! Oh Lord, am I stupid! [dabs him with a tissue then stops] That... doesn't turn you on, does it?!

Hotte: Um... [backs off a bit] It's okay, it's just water!

Caro: Okay... Let's get started then! What would you like to sing?

Hotte: I don't know, what would you like to hear?

Caro: How about... “Oh baby, baby... Oh baby, baby”? Push it?

Hotte: Yeah

Caro: Do that

Hotte: [starts dancing around, singing “Ohh baby, baby” over and over] (But it's the pelvic thruuuhuust...)

[Sophie is filming everything from behind some chairs, laughing at him]

Caro: Hotte, spin, use the space!

 

[Luzi's in some hallway]

Random guy: Ohh, baby, baby! [imitates Hotte]

Luzi: Piss off, you twat! [proceeds (with everyone looking at her) until she meets Timo] Is there something in my face or have they all lost their mind now?!

Timo: So you haven't seen it yet?

Luzi: Seen what?

[Timo gets his phone out]

 

[Luzi enters Michael's lesson, storms to Caro's place]

Luzi: You bitch!

Michael: Luzi, sit down

Caro: Are you talking to me?

Luzi: Yeah, act all cool!

Caro: I am cool!

Luzi: Maybe now, but did you ever ask yourself where you're going to be in ten years?!

Caro: That's clear, I'll be rich and famous

Luzi: And with what do you want to get famous?! As the world's biggest intriguer or as the sneakiest bitch that walks?

Caro: Watch your mouth!

[Michael awesomely just watches them]

Luzi: Know, what I think? You're just so sneaky because deep down you know that one day you'll be unhappily sitting in a piffling one family house – big, fat and flabby!

Caro: Shut up, damn it!

Michael: That's enough!

Luzi: You're just scared someone could figure out how insignificant you are...

Michael: You're both going to sit down now! [touches Caro's shoulder, who slaps his hand away and leaves, Sophie at her heels] Luzi, could you tell me what that was?

[Luzi shows him the video of Hotte dancing with wet pants, herself put into the mix, too]

 

[Sophie enters the bathroom, one girl's standing in front of the mirror. Sophie knocks at one of the stalls]

Sophie: Caro? Are you in there?

Caro: [leaves the stall and throws the girl out] Hey, girl! Piss off!

Sophie: Everything alright?!

Caro: Beschenko's got to be kidding!

Sophie: [controls her make-up] Nobody gives a shit about the blabbering of that crazy bitch anyway.

Caro: They better not! [looking at herself in the mirror] Do you think I'm going to be fat one day, too?!

Sophie: [checks her hair] Bullshit! Of course not!

Caro: I can't imagine that, either...

Sophie: So?! What are we going to do with little Beschenko now?

Caro: What do you think?! We're going to kick her ass!

(Uh, why do I want to hug Caro right now?And Sophie,too?)

 

[Bea walks up the stairs]

Michael: [coming from upstairs] Frau Vogel? Got a second? [walks with her] I... don't know if you heard about the incident in your singing and dancing AG... Anyways, in my lesson it just came to a major éclat between Caro Eichkamp and Luzi Beschenko and I just wanted to tell you that you don't mess with Caro Eichkamp

Bea: I was afraid that'd be the way it'd turn out.

Michael: She sent this clip here to the whole school [shows her the video]

Bea: I'm going to settle that with her right now.

Michael: As a teacher you'll just bang your head against a brick wall there, I would move with bigger guns.

Bea: You mean I should directly go to Frau Krawcyk?!

Michael: I'd think about it at the least...

Bea: Herr Heisig, could it be that at this school the bullies are not only amongst the students?!

Michael: What are you saying?

Bea: Herr Götting hinted at something

Michael: Ah, Herr Götting, yeah... he tries to undermine the headmaster with might and main. Ah, by the way, I got something for you. [Gives her … is that a lipgloss?] Remains of our recent crash.

Bea: Thanks. Oh, and thank you for informing me. Nevertheless, I'll try to settle that in my own way with the students.

 

[We see Herr Göttings face, then hear a knock]

Frau Krawcyk: Yes, please?

Frau Jäger: [sticks her head in] Luzi's here now

Frau Krawcyk: Tell her to come in

[Luzi does]

Luzi: What happened? Why did you send for me in the middle of my lessons?

Frau Krawcyk: I would like to talk to you about that party at the swimming pool.

Luzi: I can't tell you anything about that

Herr Götting: I think you do...

Frau Krawcyk: Sadly there is proof that you know something

Herr Götting: Are you sure you don't have to tell us anything?

[Herr Götting shows Luzi a photo of herself at the pool]

 

 

Wow, damn those nifty cell phones,and the professional stalkers of Pestalozzi High!
