Episode 204
English
Previously on Hand aufs Herz:
(Pestalozzi, consultation room)
Michael: Just let us go away; I’ve got a
motorcycle, I will get a sidecar for us. Let’s run away together. Is there someone else?
Bea: No, no, of course not.
Michael: Not even …?
Bea: Nobody.
(Pestalozzi, at the lockers)
Bea: Did you eavesdrop on Michael and me?
Ben: What would I have heard if I had?
Bea: How he asked me to give myself and him a second chance.
Ben: And perhaps also how you denied me.
Bea: You know very well that I had to lie.
Ben: To Heisig? He already knows!
(Pestalozzi, at the school entrance)
Michael: You do know you’re putting Ms Vogel’s job at risk with your shenanigans, don’t you? Is there still something going on between you and Ms Vogel?
Ben: Do you want the truth?
Michael: Yes, that’s what I want.
INTRO
[Pestalozzi, at the school entrance]
Ben: Let’s see, what’s been happening between Ms Vogel and me in the last couple of days? Does your question include the nights?
Michael: Hey, don’t go too far.
Ben: Nothing’s going on, all right? The thing between Ms Vogel and me has been over for a long time and you, Mr Heisig, should finally start to realize that. Bye.
(Pestalozzi, common room)
Bodo: What was that all about, Timo? A single blow and the Schmidt-Heisig-ramp-problem would have been history. And you, you just throw the money out of the window?
Timo: Like I said, I think it’d be better if I just left.
Emma: But why? Ms Vogel is right! With Luzi’s money you would be able to move about freely again!
Jenny: Timo, that’s your chance to stay here at school, in the (ST)AG.
Emma: And with us! We need you here!
Bodo: And Luzi, she wouldn’t have offered you the money if you weren’t really important to her.
Jenny: Yes, that was a grand gesture of her indeed.
Emma: Yes, I think so, too.
Jenny: Not many people would have done that.
Emma: And that after we kicked her out.
Jenny: Yes.
Timo: You know what? Just go and give her a medal then, will you? Or we'll just rename the whole school: Luzi-Beschenko-School for the Disabled.
Jenny: Timo!
Emma: Ey, that was really mean!
Bodo: We could just say thanks.
Caro: Well, if I were in your place I wouldn’t let false pride get in my way. Just take the cash. I mean, of course you used to be a couple and you didn’t split up amicably but…
Emma: Shut up! (Emma FTW!)
Caro: Come again?
Timo: That’s not the point and it doesn’t have anything to do with Luzi, either.
Caro: Pride once again.
Timo: Ahh, I need a coffee.
(Pestalozzi, hallway)
Michael: Hey.
Bea: Hello Michael.
Michael: I was wondering, do you perhaps have a moment to spare?
Bea: Err, I have to get to class.
Michael: It won’t take long. At least not now. I was thinking more like tonight. I’ll be cooking.
Bea: That’s not a good idea.
Michael: It is, it is. It’s a very good idea. Well, I mean I’ll be cooking anyway. And you can decide when to show up, for the main course, for dessert. I’ll be there no matter what and I’ll be waiting for you. And do you know why? Because I meant what I said to you. I can understand if you need more time and I will give you this time. Until tonight. I will be waiting for you. You know where.
(Michael walks away)
Michael: Good morning
(Pestalozzi, different hallway)
Luzi: Oh God!
Bodo: Sorry. Are you still angry?
Luzi: Am I still angry? Hm, hang on, let me think for a sec. Yes, I’m still angry. The (ST)AG doesn’t give a damn about me and neeither does Timo. And I really thought I could change something about that.
Bodo: Okay, that was appalling but the approach wasn’t bad at all.
Luzi: In case you didn’t notice, Timo turned me down. And everyone else was stupidly standing by and foolishly staring into a corner.
Bodo: What should we have said then?
Luzi: No idea. Perhaps something like: Thanks Luzi! All for one, one for all! Or: Gee Timo, don’t be silly! Take the cash, otherwise we will take it and we will use it in order to build you a ramp! Most important thing is you stay and so does Luzi! Gee we belong together, we are friends, we are the STAG! Something along those lines. You are never at a loss for words, usually..
Bodo: You being kicked out was really awful. We should have talked to you about it before.
Luzi: Without Timo, everything’s pointless anyway.
Bodo: Yes. Can’t you talk to him once more?
Luzi: Why? So I can get turned down again? Gosh Bodo, you’ve really got some nerve!
Bodo: Of course it’s annoying how stubborn Timo is at the moment. That’s just his pride but he still has to somehow climb up and down the stairs. And then there is Schmidt-Heisig and her phobia of wheelchairs.
Luzi: Okay and why does he vent all of his frustration on me? I just want to help him!
Bodo: No idea. You tell me. I mean, nobody knows him better than you do, right?
Luzi: Fine, what should I do now in your opinion?
Bodo: I only know that in there is the cash Schmidt-Heisig needs for the refurbishments.
All the while Caro has been eavesdropping on them.
(Pestalozzi, classroom)
Bea: Hello everyone. I hope you are ready for the next stage within the huge subject of probability theory.
Jenny: Rather improbable, hm?
Bea: In our last lesson we learned about a method allowing us to calculate those probabilities and events that are related to selection processes. Can anyone tell me the name of this method? … Emma?
Emma has been talking with Jenny and hasn’t paid any attention to what Bea said.
Emma: Erm, err … tree diagram.
Curiously enough, she manages to give the correct answer. (Look at the surprised faces both Jenny and Emma make. Our little instinctive genius.)
Bea: Correct. We often face the problem that the results of the experiments are only interesting if a certain event B … Can anyone tell me the objective of the question for this? … Ben?
Ben: I would ask myself how big the probability is that A will occur under the assumption that B has already occurred.
Bea: That’s correct. Under the assumption that B will occur. Errr please open your books to page 51. I’ve also made worksheets. Could someone hand them out?
(Pestalozzi, hallway)
Caro: Hey Luzi. What are you doing here? You’re having math right now.
Luzi: You too, don’t you?
Caro: Yes but that you’re leaving your favourite teacher high and dry just like that …
Luzi: Oh Caro, spare me. I can’t be bothered with your bullshit.
Caro: Hey, you’re in a bad mood because your Timo brushed you off just like that. But I’ll give you some good advice: Forget about that guy. If he doesn’t want the money it’s his own fault.
Luzi: Okay, I don’t even know myself why I’m actually trying to explain it to you but I offered Timo the money because I wanted to help him, without any ulterior motives.
Caro: You’re not used to spending money on yourself. But that doesn’t mean you have to immediately dash off and blow all the money on a charity case.
Luzi: Do you have any objections?
Caro: No, but perhaps you should invest the money better.
Luzi: Yes. In a new designer handbag?
Caro: We already know you are not the type for that but all this charity bullshit isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But you should try to find something that better fits your image. For example for victims of natural desasters or endangered species?
Luzi: YOU like animals?
Caro: This is not about me. But you are just the type who thinks that baby seals are cute.(And you're the type that wears their fur,Caro..)
Luzi: Shut up. And besides, I’ve already invested my money.
Caro: Oh really? Invested in what exactly?
Luzi: I think that’s none of your business.
Caro: But you just were in to see Schmidt-Heisig.
Luzi: So what?
(Pestalozzi, classroom)
Ben: Ms Vogel, do you have a minute?
Bea: Yes.
Ben: I just wanted to know if you’re pleased.
Bea: With what?
Ben: With my achievement.
Bea: You were very good today, yes.
Ben: Model student.
Bea: Ben, what do you expect to be achieving with this?
Ben: I want to show you that I can do it.
Bea: Maths?
Ben: Keeping it a secret. I get it. And I promise you I will be so inconspicuous that not even you will be aware of my feelings for you. As long as we’re in school the rules are clear.(and the attic belongs to the McDonald's around the corner,or what?)
Bea: Ben, that really is …
Ben: You’re wrong if you think I’m not in control of my feelings. Nobody will find out about the two of us. Nobody.
Bea: Ben, that’s insane. You would have to pretend all the time.
Ben: Not when we are alone.
Bea: Don’t expect it to be that easy. You would have to lie to your friends and your father.
Ben: I can live with that. I know what I’m doing it for. I showed you I can do it. Now it’s your turn. We will see each other tonight.
Bea: I don’t know if I’m free.
Ben: I’ll be waiting for you. You know where.
(Helena’s office)
Timo: Good afternoon, Ms Schmidt-Heisig. Erm, do you have a minute? It won’t take long.
Helena: Sure.
Timo: In fact, it’s about me changing schools. Firstly, thanks for the brochures; I think I’ve found the right school now. This is my notice of departure. Everything’s already filled in, you only have to sign.
Helena: Of course you won’t de-register from school, Mr Özgül.
Timo: It’s already been decided.
Helena: Right. In fact, I’ve decided you will stay.
Timo: But you did say…
Helena: The modification has been paid for. You will get your elevator.
Timo: Paid by whom?
Helena: Anonymously.
Timo: Anonymously? By whom?
Helena: Well, as the donor donated his money anonymously I suspect he would like to remain anonymous.
Timo: The money is from Luzi Beschenko, isn’t it?
Helena: In case you didn’t know: The word anonymous derives from the Greek “nameless” and means the non-disclosure of an identity.
Timo: I don’t care. I don’t want Luzi’s money.
Helena: Mr Özgül, are you sure only your back got broken during that accident?
Timo: You know what? Do whatever you want with the money.
Helena: You don’t really, in all seriousness, want to ask me to embezzle donation money, do you?
Timo: You can’t force me to remain at this school.
Helena: You’ve got absolutely no idea about the things I can do. For example, I can simply ignore this form here. And I can tell you what will happen next: The money will remain in the donation fund. The ramp will be built. And you, Mr Özgül, will use that ramp.
Helena tears up the form.
(Pestalozzi, hallway)
Bodo: Hey Timo. Hey, are you still here?
Timo: Yes, I’m still here. And it looks like I will be staying here. Schmidt-Heisig somehow received an anonymous donation and now the reconstruction work can take place after all.
Bodo: Really?
Timo: Tell me, did Luzi say anything about it?
Bodo: No. Why? Do you think the money came from her?
Timo: From whom else? But I don’t understand why she’s doing it. I mean, she and her mother are always struggling with money. And then she’s giving the money away just like that?
Bodo: Well, surely not just like that.
Timo: But I somehow feel bad. I mean, her first big amount of money and then she gives it away because of …
Bodo: It’s nobody’s fault. Neither yours nor hers. And she certainly didn’t want you to feel bad. That’s why she donated it anonymously. I mean, if it was really her who did it. You are taking it all far too seriously. Just be happy you can stay here.
Timo: Well, Schmidt-Heisig said the same thing.
Bodo: She’s right then, for once.
Timo: Yeah but what if she just has a bad conscience because of …
Caro: You are really staying then?
Timo: Yes, looks like it. Disappointed?
Caro: Me? No. On the contrary. That’s great news!
Caro (on the phone): Yes, Caro Eichkamp speaking. Mr Serano? I’ve got a top story for you.
(Pestalozzi, staff room)
Bea: Oh, I’m sorry.
Michael: I’m sorry, I’m a bit late. I intended to leave this (mug) here.
Bea: Give it to me.
Michael: Thanks. That’s nice of you. Yes.
Ingrid: It’s a real shame that the two of you aren’t together anymore. Oops. You’ve been such a great match. Bea, you are such a dedicated and awesome woman and Mr. Heisig is such an awesome man. And how he was fighting for you while you were in prison. I would have really wished for you two to be happy together.
(*hands Ingrid some salt*,I'm sure you missed a spot in Michael Heisig's big, wounded heart..oh,it's chilli salt? Whoops.)
(Pestalozzi, schoolyard)
Bodo: Hey Timo! You have to look at this! This is Luzi’s TV gig. Look at this and you will have no more questions.
(Timo watches a video of Luzi performing “1000 Tage Regen”)
(Pestalozzi, changing room)
Girl 1: Hey look, your video is on Youtube. Did you know?
Girl 2: What? Show me!
Girl 3: Really? Show me! It’s really Luzi!
Girl 2: She looks so different. How cool!
(the girls start singing along)
(Pestalozzi. schoolyard)
Timo: And you think …
Bodo: Of course! She’s singing about you. Do you know what this means? She loves you, man!
Timo: Hey! You just had P.E.?
Luzi: Yes. I’m pretty knackered.
Timo: And what’s the new teacher like?
Luzi: Yeah, he loves rope skipping. And that’s pretty tough on the legs. Tell me, what’s this all about? An example for bad small talk between ex-friends?
Timo: No, more like honesty between two people who are perhaps a lot more than just friends? Luzi, I listened to your song.
Luzi: Really?
Timo: The lyrics, they are about us, aren’t they?
Luzi: Timo, yes, I … I wrote the song for you. And, and …
Reporter: Is this the young man in the wheelchair whom you donated your advance-money for, Luzi? No problem, we’ll get photos of everything. Perhaps you’ll just have to bend down a little bit otherwise we’ll only have his head in the picture. How did you come to the decision to help him out immediately?
Luzi: Hey, I don’t want to comment on that now.
Reporter: Modesty in addition to social commitment, you’re not disappointing us, Luzi. How does it feel to be allowed to be a part of society again? Thanks to generous donations from rising stars like Luzi. You must be deeply grateful that you may continue studying at a normal school in spite of your disability.
Luzi: Stop it now! Timo, I didn’t ask those guys to come here. I’ve no idea how they know about the donation. You have to believe me, honestly.
Timo: And I was thinking that this time it was really about me for a change.
Luzi: Gosh Timo, wait!
(Home of the Vogels)
(Bea has flashbacks while preparing for her evening date)
Michael: You can decide when to come. I will be there no matter what and I will be waiting for you. And do you know why? Because I meant what I said to you.
Ben: You’re wrong if you think I’m not in control of my feelings.
Bea: Ben, that’s insane. You would have to lie to your friends and your father.
Ben: I can live with that. We are going to see each other tonight.
Bea: I don’t know if I’m free.
Ben: I’ll be waiting for you. You know where.
(Michael is preparing for his date with Bea at home. / Ben is waiting for Bea in the attic at school.)
Bea: Here I am.
Ben: There you are.
(Personally,I would have stayed at home and watched the last Harry Potter...what is it with these guys and their ultimatums?)
