Episode 215
(Previously on Hand aufs Herz)
[Michael’s apartment]
Michael: You were right regarding Bea. She is false and a liar.
Helena: You know, what this means?
Michael: Yes. Yes,I know.
(Intro)
[Michael’s apartment]
Helena: That was good. It felt like before. Only better. (She was probably thinking about Bea this time/I love you translatress,your editor:-))
Theonly disturbing thing is the thought of tomorrow…when she’ll be crossing my path again.
Michael:Bea?
Helena:Bea can’t stay at the school.
Michael:She can’t…
Helena: No. She simply feels responsible for everything. Especially things that don’t concern her. Michael? We are in agreement that Bea has to go, aren’t we?
Michael: What is your plan?
Helena:You mean, what is OUR plan.
Michael: What is our plan?
Helena:To finally prove her affair with Ben Bergmann. Or do you really believe she left you just for the hell of it?
(Flashback to Ben and Bea leaving for Berlin)
Michael: No. The two of them are together. I saw them.
Helena:Interesting. You don’t happen to have any proof, do you?
Michael: No. Not yet.
[Vogel home]
Ben: Well then, have fun with your work, you nerd.
Bea: Thanks.
Andhe leaves.
Bea:Integral calculations, oh well.
Knockingon the door.
Bea: Oh, Ben!
Butit’s Miriam.
Miriam: Hey.
Bea:Hey. What are you doing here? Hey, what’s wrong?
Miriam:Sebastian…
Bea:He really went to Costa Rica?
Miriam: And I let him go. Forever.
Bea: Oh sweetie…
(Sweetie?) /They're always saying sweetie, have you never noticed? Your space character savior
[Raumzeit Records, some studio]
Luzi: It’s so cool that you guys came.
Timo:You didn’t really think that you would celebrate without us, did you?
Luzi: Well, now that I’m a grown-up…
Timo: We are still friends. Your song…it really came out great.
Luzi: Thanks. I’m glad you like it. I was afraid…
Timo: I’m sure that it'll be in the charts.
Luzi:The song…well…äh…it’s about friendship, as well. – Should we go back to the others?
Timo:Wait a minute. First, you’ll get your present from me. This time it’s nothing homemade…but it also took some work.
[Raumzeit Records]
Jenny: Is this still about the evening with Sophie?
Emma: No, everything’s fine.
Jenny:I thought we settled this. I only wanted to help her.
Emma: I got it. It’s about your friend who had drug problems.
Jenny:Emma…Emma, I don’t want anything from Sophie, I only want something from you.
Jenny leans in for a kiss but Emma backs up a little.
Jenny: What?
Emma: And what about Ronnie?
Jenny: Nothing.
Emma:Really nothing?
Jenny: Nothing at all.
Emma sighs prompting Jenny to elaborate a bit.
Jenny: He..he is just giving me a hard time, like he always does. Forget about him.
(I..I need a moment..thank you writers, who are giving Jenny these fab one liners, that just make my brain fly out of the window..)
Ronnie: Hey, Chuck, come here. Just one moment.
Ronnieflags down a waiter, takes one of the drinks and puts white powder into it.
Ronnie:Listen, this one is for the one on the left over there. (Jenny is the right one, btw) But don’t tell her it’s from me, okay?
Ronniegives the waiter money.
Sophie: How…I mean, how much did you put in it?
Ronnie:Enough for a really great show. Relax.
[Michael’s apartment]
Helena:To our most favourite ex-teacher.(I did not make this up)
Michael:Have you already drunk one glass too many?
Helena:I’m only happy that we finally share the same opinion.
Michael:What about Wendtland? Didn’t he intend to make Bea vice-principal?
Helena: Her or Weber. (I thought it was Stutzke?)
Michael:Weber?
Helena: Yes, I know, his chances aren’t that good but…if we hurry a little…
Michael: What with?
Helena:Michael…
Michael:Oh, with the proof that shows that Bea has something going on with Ben.
Helena: Exactly. – But now that I have you it’s only a matter of time. Or do you want to back out?
Michael:No. Bea has made her decision, and so have I.
Helena:I’m happy to hear that.
[Raumzeit Records, some studio]
Luzi:Wow, that’s…brilliant!
Timo: You’re brilliant. I’m sure it won’t be the last platinum record you’ll ever get.
Luzi:But the most important and beautiful one.
Timo: As long as you don’t forget who you got it from.
Luzi: Timo…
Timo:I’m just saying…surely you’ll be singing in London, Tokyo, New York…Cologne, hello, what’s Cologne? And maybe you’ll look into a mirror one day and think, hm, there was this one cool guy, what was his name…Timo! In the past, I used to celebrate every birthday with him.
Luzi: You goofball. Well, if I ever went there we’d be going together to London, New York and so on.
Timo:Luzi, come on.
Luzi: What? What’s with this nonsense now? If I say it, I mean it like that. I mean, why else would I write a song about you? (Oops!)
Timo: The song is really about me, then?
Luzi:Who else? – Could you close this for me, please?(Having an Otalia moment there)
Timo:Of course.
Luzikneels down and Timo puts the necklace around her neck.
Luzi:Äh, Timo?
Timo: Yes?
Luzi: So, what do you say to this?
Timo: The necklace suits you. (Oh Timo. To quote Helena: “Are you sure only your back got broken during the accident?”)(Is it just me, or are they mirroring the Saal1 scene between Emma and Jenny..London, Riad,New York..where did you like it best?”Cologne.” “Cologne?” “Yes, there are the nicest people here..”)
[Raumzeit Records]
Frank:Say, did you see Luzi?
Jenny: No, but she could finally show up.
Emma: Or we’ll sing the Happy Birthday without her.
Caro:Or we won’t do it at all.
Waiter: Here you go. (Fortunately for Ronnie, the waiter seems to have the same left-right problem. And lack of morals.)
Jenny:Oh, thank you. (Jenny takes the drink)
[Raumzeit Records, some studio]
Timo: Well, shouldn’t we go back to the others? I mean, they are throwing a party for you out there.
Luzi: Well…I don’t know any of these people.
Timo: And that’s the reason why we are here.
Luzi: Thank God. I already thought I would have to spend my 18th birthday without you.
Eyecontact, they lean closer to each other and yes…yes…y…NO! Frank comes in and interrupts them. (Say, is your middle name Cooper by any chance?/Ha,ha,ha, that was your translatress, not your editor, this time;-) Otalia high five!))
Frank:There you are.
Luzi:I’ll be there in a minute.
Frank:Maybe you could come immediately? Because they are waiting for you. They have prepared something.
[Raumzeit Records]
Jenny:Great. Strawberries.
Caro:You don’t like them?
Jenny:First and foremost, I’m allergic to them.
Caro: With rash and everything?(Caro, you have some weird interests but I love you anyway)
Jenny: Laboured breathing, anaphylactic shock and maybe even cardiac arrest.(I'm wondering if they ever would have made use of that little piece of info,if there had been a second season..or a third..that, for once, has been well researched)
Caro: Great. Well, I’m not that delicate.
Jenny:Cheers.
Ronnie watching from a distance: Oh, fuck!
Caro:Oh, delicious. Boah, that’s really delicious.
[At Raumzeit Records]
Frank: So, everyone, please stop talking now... and drinking. So… Dear Luzi, when we just sang for you, you weren’t looking really happy. And that was probably not just because I sang as well, but also because some people were missing, who are very important to you. Therefore, now Live at Raumzeit Records: The Stag.
The Stag is performing Good luck and many blessings. It’s a German birthday song
Caro:But I’m not done. Happy birthday!!! (Caro hugs Luzi)//And how. Cazi is on again!//Wowza!!)
Luzi: Thanks.
Jenny:Caro, is everything alright?
Caro:The strawberries are dead… and I have killed them. I have…
Bodo:Maybe she has an allergy as well. (he points to his glass of champagne)
Jenny: Or maybe something else… (Jenny is looking at Ronnie)
[At Pestalozzi – Hallway]
Caro: It must have been the drinks, probably the alcohol was spoilt.
Jenny:Very spoilt alcohol.
Emma: You only had one cocktail.
Caro: Bullshit. Then I could still remember something.
Jenny: Be glad.
Ronnie: Hey…shhh (to Caro) I’m not done yet. (Ronnie makes a move)
That was huge. That was a great performance. Great show.
(To Sophie)Did you see how she acted yesterday?
Jenny: Emma, can you go head?
Emma: Why?
Jenny: I have to clarify something.
Emma:Can I not be there?
Jenny: Emma, please. I’ll be coming right after you.
Emma: No, why???
Jenny: I can't explain it to you right now.
Emma: And why not?
Jenny:Because….
Emma: You know, I don't believe a word you're saying. The whole time you're making excuses. And there is something and I just don’t understand why you don’t just tell me. I am your GIRLFRIEND.
Jenny: I do want to explain it to you... Emma... but not here and not now. We will meet later at the books, alright?
Emma is leaving and Jenny is walking towards Ronnie.
Ronnie: Stress with your sweetie?
Jenny:Now listen to me, you little rat. I can’t prove anything, but the thing with Caro stinks.
Ronnie: Right…of liquor, beer and wine… or of a woman who doesn’t tolerate anything.
Jenny:In any case, she did not tolerate whatever you dumped into her drink.
Ronnie: In your place I would be more cautious, Jenny. Or do you want Emma to hear your sad story?
Jenny:In case you have forgotten, you also do not want your brother to find out some things about you.
Ronnie:This is called stalemate. So stay out of things that are none of your concern.
Jenny:You are so pathetic.
Ronnie: We will see… who is pathetic here.
[At Pestalozzi]
Luzi: Hey, I thought you wouldn’t come.
Timo: Hey, I would have called you in that case.
Luzi:Good… Because… I wanted to tell you something.
Timo’s phone is ringing.
Timo: Later, alright???
Luzi. LATER?!?
Timo: It’s important.
Timoanswers his phone.
Timo:Yes, Hello. On the phone. Okay, and that means??? That is….
[Pestalozzi – Parking lot]
Bea: Lose the cigarette.
Ben: Ms. Vogel. The exercises from Friday.
Benhands a notebook to Bea
Bea: From Friday???
Ben: The ones I should hand in later.
Bea: The exercises from Friday, which you should hand in later. Of course. I hope you have done your best.
Ben: I always do my best. You know that.
Bea opens the notebook and sees the picture of her and Ben that was taken in Berlin.
[Pestalozzi, hallway]
KarinBeschenko: Hey you. Did you get through your party alright?
Luzi: Oh, yeah, more or less.
KarinBeschenko: What is it?
Luzi:Look, Timo gave it to me.
KarinBeschenko: Wow, it's really beautiful...and it matches your bracelet really well.
Luzi: That's true. I talked to Timo and told him that I wrote the song for him.
KarinBeschenko: And what did he say?
Luzi:Well, it went pretty well at first, and then Frank came in, and when I meant to talk to him later, he left me out in the cold..got some kind of call.
KarinBeschenko: Well, maybe it was important.
Luzi: Yeah, that's what Timo said, too. It's as though there is this wall between the two of us, that you just can't get through!
KarinBeschenko: Well, maybe it's just really hard for him to get involved with you again.
Luzi:And why? We've already been together,..until...until Sophie returned from Australia.
KarinBeschenko: And he got into that accident and into that wheelchair. Listen, Timo's life has changed a lot and so did yours.
Luzi:But we're still us, a wheelchair and a label...that can't just ruin everything!
KarinBeschenko: Just be patient and see what happens.
Luzi:But I have been patient, and Timo knows very well that the wheelchair doesn't bother me at all!
KarinBeschenko: Yes, Luzi, but maybe it's bothering him.
[Pestalozzi, locker room]
Jenny: Sophie?
Sophie:Just shut up, ok? I don't need any tips or reproaches, and I want for you to finally stop harassing my boyfriend.
Jenny: Ok, then why are you here if you don't want to talk?
Sophie: To tell you to go and look for another charity project. Leave me and Ronnie in peace, cause we're both not into you, ok?
Jenny:Ok.
Jenny goes to her locker and starts drinking from her water bottle.
[Pestalozzi, auditorium]
Timo(on the phone): Thank you so, so much! Ok, bye!
Luzi: You said earlier, that we would catch up later on what we missed out on yesterday. And later is now.
Timo, I don't want us to keep evading each other because I miss you and because I don't care in the least that you're in a wheelchair. You are and always will be the greatest thing to me, I mean, the greatest guy...
Timo:Something happened.
Luzi: I know, the accident and that changed us, and now I'm in the label..and..
Timo:That's not what I mean.
Luzi:No?
Timo: No, something else. Ok, come on, pinch me!
Luzi: No!
Timo: Pinch me!
Now, come on, do it, and pinch me!
Notthere, here.
Harder.
Ok.
Luzi: Did you just feel this?
Timo:I just got off the phone with the doc… and he said that maybe some nerves might not be affected.
Luzi: That means…?
Timo: Maybe I'll be able to walk again, soon!
Luzi:Oh wow! That’s…
Timo: That’s a doozie! I mean, when my father learns about this he is going to flip out. Sure, I still have to go to the hospital, get a few things checked out… But now I’m going to send myself home.
Oh, by the way, I feel the same way you do.
[Pestalotzzi, schoolyard]
Emma is sitting on the big books, a netbook on her lap. Ronnie comes up to her.
Ronnie: Hey, Emma… Are you waiting for Jenny?
Emma:Piss off.
Ronnie: Ähm… take a look at this. It will be of interest to you.
Hehands her a piece of paper.
Ronnie: I’m sure you’ll like it.
(btw, that’s Little Heart on her screen. Has Emma been researching her girlfriend’s past? Anyway, it might explain her almost loving “Piss off” to Ronnie. How can you get mad while looking at childhood pictures of the love of your life?)
Emmafolds out the paper and finds a URL which she can look up immediately thanks to the convenient netbook. It’s the Jenny/London/coke video.//The link doesn't work by the way;-)
Emma:Oh God, Jenny.
Emma doesn’t seem too shocked. I think we can assume that she already suspected something like this.
(Somehow I really like the Emma/Ronnie interaction. As long as there is no violence, that is.) (P.S.:I think Emma had “Little Heart” as her desktop, just as Jenny has a heart shaped cut out of Emma's on her jeans collage wall thingy. Hope these two get stalked with a Polaroid camera sometime, that'll make for less creepy memorabilia..)
[Pestalozzi, the big staircase]
Jenny comes down the stairs, still chugging her water.
Ronnie: Jenny!
Jenny:Get lost.
Ronnie:I just want to talk to you…concerning earlier. I think we shouldn’t insult each other.
Jenny:Okay, ähm…that’s going to be hard but I’ll try.
Ronnie:And stay out of each other’s way, maybe?
Jenny:Well, if you do your part.
Ronnie: And not take on people against who we have no chance.
Jenny:I would advise you to do the same thing. Anything else?
Ronnie: No. I think we should call a truce and raise our glasses to it. Hm? A sip of truce coffee?
Jenny:So that you can get the same show again that you already got yesterday with Caro? Ronnie, I’m not as stupid as you think.
Ronnie:No?
Jenny: No. It’s pretty obvious that you put something in that (the coffee).
Ronnie:Well…in that…(he looks at the water bottle) or somewhere else.
Flashback of Sophie in the locker room, putting something in Jenny’s water bottle.
Ronnie:Have fun on your trip. The first one after such a break is always the best.
Jenny:You didn’t do this.
Ronnie: Enjoy your flight. And have a soft landing.
[Pestalozzi, teachers’ lounge]
Bea: Hello, Michael.
Michael:Hi, Bea. – How was your weekend, anyway?
Bea: Okay.
Michael:What did you do?
Bea:Nothing special.
Michael: Bea Bea Bea. I…ähm…I’ve always seen you as a person who valued fairness and honesty. And that’s why I’m surprised that you are now ruthlessly lying to my face.
Bea: When did I lie to you?
Michael:Right now. Listen, when I left your house on Friday, I saw Ben Bergmann driving up and the two of you leaving together. So you are together again. Congratulations.
