(Previously on Hand aufs Herz)
[Pestalozzi, principal's office]
Ingrid: Ms. Lohmann, I'm asking you to pack your things and leave the Pestalozzi Comprehensive School at once. Otherwise, I will report your attack on Frau Vogel to the school authorities… as the action that it was, an attempted murder.
[Intro]
[Pestalozzi]
Julian: You're demanding that Ms. Lohmann leave? Are you joking?
Ingrid: You overestimate my humor! I’m not that funny! The school authorities definitely won’t approve of a teacher, who attacks her colleague with scissors, as a suitable role model!
Julian: You wouldn’t dare to do that!
Ingrid: I am just doing my duty! Anything else would be irresponsible!
Julian: You talk about responsibility? You shielded your alcoholic boss for months! If I wanted to, I could…
Alexandra:Julian! Julian!
Julian: What?
Alexandra:Mr. Götting, can I talk to you in private?
Julian: Go ahead! You heard what Ms. Lohmann said!
Ingrid leaves the room, and we see her looking a bit shell shocked. It’s as if she cannot believe she just stood up to them. (GOOOOOOOO Jäger!! THAT, my friends, was a JägerBomb!!!)
[At the Bergmann Villa]
Ben is slicing a cake. Stefan and Caro are sitting at the coffee table. Perfectly ideal?
Ben: You must try this! It’s home-made, by Caro. Or so she says.
Caro: And if I say it’s so, then it must be true!
Ben: You need whipped cream. I think there’s still some upstairs.
Ben leavesthe room
Stefan: We had an arrangement Caro! 100 000€, you were supposed to have an abortion and disappear from Ben’s life.
Caro: Why are you afraid? Are you worried about the money, or Ben?
Stefan: To be honest, I’m afraid that you don’t understand when I am being serious about something, and when I’m not.
Caro:(laughing)You don’t have to be afraid. I’m not dumb. I‘ve just changed the plan a bit. For your benefit.
Ben:(comes in, shaking the bottle of whipped cream) It was there for quite a while, but it should still be good. So, you say stop! (How Ben never notices the DEATH GLARES his Father gives Caro is BEYOND me….he was SO clueless!!!)
[Pestalozzi]
Julian: Who does this, this little woman think she is? On the one hand, I didn’t think she was capable of showing so much courage. Alexandra! Please! You don’t really think that Jägeris going to go to the school board? If she does that, her life here would be a living hell! At least as long as I’m Provisional Director. And she knows that! Don’t worry! We’ll fix everything today.
Alexandra:She’s right! I have to leave the school.
Julian: Excuse me?
[Pestalozzi, teachers room]
Bea: Okay, what’s the matter? Are you avoiding me?
Michael: No, quite the contrary! I came to you, because I wanted to know what’s been bothering you these last few days, but it was a wasted effort. You’ve been avoiding me! Bea! Alexandra and you, you’ve been staring daggers at each other! You have a wound on your arm which you don’t want anyone to know about. And I’ve been asking myself what happened. Meanwhile, I thought WE had taken things to the next level.
Bea: She attacked me with scissors.
Michael: With scissors?!?!
Bea: I provoked her. It was an impulsive reaction.
Michael: That still isn’t any sort of reason to attack someone with scissors!
Bea:I told her that her sister didn’t love her enough, and that that was the reason for why she hadn’t ever gotten in touch with her. That’s a reason.
Michael: No, that’s no reason!
Bea: Nevertheless.It was too much. I don’t want what happened to be shouted from the rooftops. It’s between Alexandra and me. A teacher who provokes a fight…the school board never would accept it.
Michael: And so, you thought I would run to the Director and tell him even though you don’t want that? Or what?
Bea:No! Not really, but…I hoped…
Michael: …to keep it quiet. You wanted to take care of it yourself. I can understand that. Yes, I can.
Bea: I’m sorry. It has nothing to do with you. I trust you. But I also know that you worry when it comes to things like that.
Michael: When it’s about you! About you!
Bea: Can I make it up to you?
Michael: No! That means yes! Bea, we should go out to dinner together, I think.
Bea: I have a better idea. I’ll cook for you.. For us! At my place. Okay?
Michael: Okay!
(Is it just me, or does Bea’s ‘happy’ face look rather FORCED there?!?!)
[Pestalozzi]
Julian: You can’t give up now. That would be a confession of guilt. If you go now, Bea Vogel will finally win.
Alexandra:Victory or defeat, that’s not the point. No anymore. Since Bea is here again, Francisca is also here again. And the pain. I can’t stand it any longer.
Alexandra leaves Julian looking sad and confused.
[Bea’s appartment]
Michael: Let’s sum it up! When you ask me to dinner, to put it plainly, I cook, and you watch me?!?
Bea: Hello! I wanted to, but you said I shouldn’t!
Michael: Because I’m a gentleman. And that’s what you were counting on!
Bea: Then I will take a look at what you’re cooking!
Michael: Yes! Trust, but verify!
Bea: One can allegedly spot a good cook from how he holds the knife to chop the vegetables.
Michael: Is that so?
Bea:So says Miriam…I have no knowledge of cooking…
Michael: That’s what I say: this here was a clear-cut plan!
Bea: Maybe! …Maybe not!
Michael: It’s not that I have something against plans. As long as they are good!
And they kiss…
Michael: I hope you don’t mind if I go on cooking...
Bea: Later!
And off to the bedroom…while Heather also doesn’t want to talk about love…
Heather Nova - "Let’s not talk about love"
[Saal 1]
Julian is calling Alexandra
Alexandra is sitting in her car, looking at pictures of her sister
Alexandra’s mailbox: This is the mailbox of Alexandra Lohmann. Leave a message after the beep.
Julian: Hi Alexandra, it’s me. I am concerned, and I understand that thoughts of Franziska are hurting you, that they have returned since Vogel has returned to the school. But I think that you should stay anyway. I wish you’d stay. Very much.
Flashback
Bea: Your sister went to Australia without a word…because she didn’t want to be with you anymore. Because she didn’t give a damn about you!!!
Alexandra: That’s not true.
Bea: It is true. And everyone knows it. Only you refuse to see it. Because then you would have to see something else too: That your sister never loved you!
Alexandrais crying.
[Bea’s appartment]
Bea: I’m still hungry.
Michael: Still? What’s typical for Ms. Vogel? She barely gets her jollies on, and then Mr. Heisig must go to the kitchen again, or what?
Bea: Come on! It wasn’t that nasty!
Michael: Well, yes.. it wasn’t that nasty!
Bea?
Bea:Mmmmh?
Michael: I have to tell you something! No! I don’t want to hear it! And maybe it sounds stupid…but I will only have a lively interest in this phrase in future episodes…
Bea: Something bad?
Michael: No! Not really!
Bea:I can’t bear bad news on an empty stomach!
Michael: Didn’t you say you’re hungry?
Bea: Yes! But not for what!
[At the Bergmann Villa]
Caro enters the kitchen. Stefan is right behind her.
Stefan: There are two categories of people with the need to eat at night. Some like it sweet, while others like it more savory.
Caro: And which category do you belong to?
Stefan: To neither of them. I just wanted to see who was wasting energy at my expense.
Caro: I didn’t know that someone like you pays attention to the electricity bill.
Stefan: Well. Something else that you’ve learned. You also probably didn’t know that I can become very nasty if someone steals 100.000€ from me, and believes that they can get away with it!
Caro: I didn’t steal the money! I’ve just changed the plan a little bit.
Stefan: Ah, right! To my advantage, wasn’t that it?
Caro: Didn’t you see how happy Ben was that his Father was finally is doing something for him? What is 100.000€ when you consider that he doesn’t hate you anymore!
Stefan: That wasn’t the idea, Caro! The idea was, that you have an abortion and then disappear from Ben’s life!
Caro: Right! And that idea was bad! The new idea is this: I stay with Ben, we keep the money and… I will have the abortion! And all of us get something from that plan! And you get out of this!
[Bea’s appartment]
Bea&Michael…
Bea: Good morning.
Michael: Good morning
Bea: Have you been awake for a long time?
Michael: No! I didn’t even fall asleep. I lay beside you then entire night and I just couldn’t close my eyes!
Bea: Liar! You slept like a log!
Michael: Yes!
Bea: Well, somehow it smells like…
Michael: Coffee! I’ve taken the liberty!
Bea: There isn’t enough time to have coffee in bed.
Michael: Wait! I’d like to tell you something
Bea: I just need to hop in the shower! Five minutes! At most ten!
Michael: You…you said we shouldn’t have any secrets. And ehm…
Bea: I left the door open. As in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
Michael: Pyramus and Thisbe…This didn’t turn out well!
Bea: What? Could you please talk a bit louder? I can’t hear you!
Michael: It’s okay! I will tell you later!
[Pestalozzi, volleyball field]
Hotte: Did you notice that the volleyball team is totally idle? Most of the time they stand around and let us work!
Emma: I don’t care! We will keep going and get it done!
Timo: Paying attention to what everyone else is doing just uses unnecessarily energy!
Luzi: Bad for your karma!
Hotte: You’re crazy! Both of you!
Jenny: And? How did it go? (Emma looks at her kind of irritated)With your job interview at Saal 1?
Emma: Oh, I see, that’s what you mean. Well, they were very nice. It couldn’t have gone better.
(aah, those glances at each other: pensively, warily… )And you? Did they already call you?
Jenny: Nuh uh.....ohhh... (At that moment Jenny’s phone is ringing)Hello, Jenny Hartmann.(Sideglance to Emma, with a smile) Uh, Yeah! Of course I am still interested! Okay. No problem. Alright. See you! Bye! (she giggles happily)
Emma: (is looking very frustrated)That means you have the job?!
Jenny: Looks like that. (And she hike her shoulders, no not triumphant, but regrettably!)They want me to work on trial basis. I’m sorry.
Emma: (trying to be a good sport)Well, then congr…( Emma’s phone is rings, totally cutting her off)Yes, Emma Müller (sounds very annoyed when she first answers, and then her mood rapidly improves!) Yes, for sure I’m still interested. Working on a trial basis? For sure! Perfect!See you!
And I love this scene: Emma looking all triumphant - the sceptical face of Jenny – and then both change slowly into a collective chuckle. Niiiiice!
[Pestalozzi]
Ingrid is looking at a piece of paper that reads “Request for Leave of Absence” for Alexandra Lohmann
Alexandra: Don’t pretend to be astonished! You wanted my resignation!
Ingrid: Yes. But I hadn’t expected that you would be so fast…
Alexandra: Don’t bother! It has precious little to do with you!
Julian: May I have a look? Ms. Lohmann, I can’t accept that! Won’t you give it some thought?
(Alexandra turns around, Julian follows her) Alexandra, please! You mustn’t go! Alexandra, you’re not alone! I will make sure that you don’t cross Bea Vogel’s path too often. You mustn’t go!
Alexandra: I can’t stay! This makes no sense at all! Nobody can fix this. Not even you!
[Pestalozzi, volleyball field]
Hotte: It was a crappy job. A hard job. A job that only one person could do properly! Hotte Horstfeld!
Luzi seems to be annoyed...(with her dark clothes and all she actually does look like a grave digger ^^) Then Hotte looks down and...
Hotte: Ew! What is that? This volleyball field is a dog cemetery.
Emma: Hotte, you are so disgusting.
Luzi: Bullshit, dog cemetery. A dog probably buried its bones there at the most. It's been known to happen.
Timo: Oah, dude.Throw this away and continue, okay? I have no desire to mess around, okay. I want to finish today! Hep!
Hotte: From all sides they put obstacles in Hotte Horstfeld’s way. But nothing could stop him!
[Pestalozzi, teachers room]
Bea and Michael come in. Suddenly they stop their conversation.
Bea: Someone must have seen that film seven times.
Michael: Seven times, that's -
Bea: What…what’s…
Julian: Ms. Lohmann is leaving the Pestalozzi school.
Bea: Excuse me?
Julian: And if you’re asking yourself if you’re the reason: Yes, you are!
Bea: But why? I haven’t done anything!
Alexandra: You’re finally getting what you’ve always wanted!
[Pestalozzi, volleyball field]
The girls of the volleyball team are standing around giggling
Luzi: That’s the last straw!
Timo: Woah, shit.
Luzi: What’s wrong?
Timo: That’s no dog. And no dog buried that.
And it’s getting
CREEPY…
