Episode 98
Translated by Carrie
(Previously on Hand aufs Herz)
[At the hospital]
Caro: You are bound by Doctor/Patient confidentiality, right? Good! And when would be the latest possible moment for me to have an abortion?
[Pestalozzi – Principal’s Office]
Bea: Your sister went to Australia, without a word! Cause she gave a damn shit for you! And everybody knows it! It’s just you who won’t face the facts! Because you would have to face something else! That your sister never loved you!
[Intro]
[Pestalozzi – Principal’s Office]
Julian: Alexandra!
Alexandra: You liar!
Julian: Are you crazy!
Ingrid: My gosh! What’s going on here?
Julian: Nothing to worry about! Everything’s under control!
Ingrid: You are bleeding!
Julian: Care for Ms.Vogel! I…will… (leaving the room) Alexandra!
Ingrid: What happened!?!
Bea: She…she…
Ingrid: I am going to go look for bandages!
[At the hospital]
Ben: Everything’s fine?
Caro: Are you worried?
Ben: Well, what did you talk about?
Caro: Well, just some things to be concerned about in pregnancy. Nothing important.
Ben: Everything that has to do with the baby is important. And with you, for sure. Is something wrong?
Caro: You are serious, are you?
Ben: I’ve said that a few times.
Caro: Yes, maybe a little bit too often. You want this child as much as I do?
Ben: Sure! I take responsibility for things I’ve done. (Since when!?!?) And I always will.
Caro: Ahh…I have something for you. You can show off to your friends.
You think it will be a boy?
Ben: Meanwhile I think it would be more stress-free - and cheaper!
Caro: We can make it! If we stick together!
Ben: Caro, I don’t let you down!
Caro: Better not...
Ben: I’m not like my father! You know that!
[Pestalozzi – Hallway and then Random Classroom]
Alexandra: Francisca never would have done that! She never would have left without saying good bye!
Julian: Come. We’ll go in here. Come.
(He steers Alexandra into the classroom)
No matter what Bea Vogel said, that’s no reason to stab her to death.
Alexandra: But…
Julian: No buts! That’s no reason to stab her to death!
[Pestalozzi – Principal’s Office]
Ingrid: I always knew that Alexandra Lohmann wasn’t exactly normal…but this?!?! She really has gone insane!
Bea: I’m afraid I’m not exactly innocent here.
Ingrid: You?
[Pestalozzi – Random Classroom]
Alexandra: My sister and I didn’t see things the same way! Yes, we had a fight. Because she wanted to join Bea’s choir because of Jens. But that was nothing! At least not a reason to elope without a word! She wouldn’t have done that!
Julian: Alexandra, now calm down! I know that! Bea Vogel wanted to make you mad, and that’s exactly what happened. The thoughts you’re having now are exactly what she wanted. She provoked you! The problem is that you took the bait! And now she’ll come out as the innocent lamb, whereas you may have a real problem!
[Pestalozzi – Principal’s Office]
Ingrid: No matter what you may have said…A normal person doesn’t flip out like that!
Bea: Fortunately nothing bad happened!
Ingrid: Nothing bad happened? You could have been killed! And that’s what I will tell the Police too!
Bea: Mrs. Jaeger!
Ingrid: No! Lohmann tried to kill you, and it could always happen again!
Bea: But it was in the heat of the moment! I…I don’t want the police to come!
Ingrid: Ms. Vogel! If this isn’t a case for the police, then what is!
[Pestalozzi, At the Coffee Machine]
Emma: Damn, come on. (Emma shakes the machine)
Jenny: Hey, that’s a vending machine. It isn’t to blame for your bad mood. (Suddenly the machine is working.) You see? (Jenny takes the cup and hands it to Emma.) A little patience and then…
Emma: That’s my cocoa.
Jenny: I only wanted to give it to you. Is it possible that you have some sort of problem with me? (and Emma is rolling her eyes) You are still mad because of the radio contest, right?
Emma: Nonsense! If anything, I’m angry at myself for giving you the idea. Then the volleyball-team wouldn’t have the money for a new field, we would not have been ordered to dig it…
and we wouldn’t have tried to skip out…. And then the AG would not have been closed down.
Jenny: Yammering on without end. Typical German!
Emma: Ah yeah, that’s right. You see yourself more as an Englishwomen, or Cosmopolitan .
Jenny: You know: I'm an optimist. I make the best of things instead of just complaining!
Their argument is getting a bit more hot-tempered!
Emma: You know what? You're just arrogant. Nothing more!
Jenny: Nothing more. Jenny turns her back to Emma and leaves, yet somehow Emma looks as if that isn’t really what she wants…so she comes up with a few more words to try and stop her…
Emma: What did you think? That I would be happy that you’ve ruined everything?
And kind of success: Jenny is turning around and coming back!
Jenny: Me? Who was it that messed up the report for whom? You wanted to write it for me and then you just threw me off a cliff, so I should actually have a problem with you!
It’s getting too close, so let’s retreat!
Emma: Can I please drink my cocoa in peace now??
Jenny: Sure. I had actually thought you were nicer! And off Jenny goes, leaving Emma to sigh in frustration since she knows she was just a huge brat…
[Pestalozzi – Random Classroom]
Julian: It seems as if they haven’t informed the police yet. That means we have some time.
Alexandra: I shouldn’t have let her provoke me! But…
Julian: I know! I probably would have reacted the same way if someone told me that my sister didn’t love me.
Alexandra: And she did love me! What should I do now?
Julian: Well, as hard as it is, you’re going to have to apologize to Bea! In fact… quickly…before she reports you. That’s the only possible way out.
Alexandra: You can’t fix it some other way? Please!
Julian: How?
Alexandra: I… I can’t.. forgive me! What Bea said, that…I just can’t!
Julian: Well, then I’ll just have to fix it some other way….
[Pestalozzi – Office]
Ingrid: Don’t you think you should have your arm examined?!
Bea: It’s just a scratch!
Ingrid: And what about the police?
Bea: Ms. Jaeger! I don’t want the situation to get any worse than it is already!
Ingrid: Precisely!
Michael: Is everything okay?
Bea: Sure!
Michael: Something shouldn’t escalate? What’s it?
Ingrid: If you need me I’ll be at my desk.
Michael: Was there some trouble with Alexandra again?
Bea: Yes, but never mind!
Julian: Ms. Voegel, can I talk to you for a moment? In private?
Bea: Of course!
[Pestalozzi, Auditorium]
Luzi: Man, it’s about time that Ms.Vogel gave us report about what’s happened! It can’t end this way!
Timo: Hey,come on! Always think positive! I mean, even without the AG we are still STAG!
Luzi: No, we aren’t! There is no more ST without AG! ST, without piano and without stage!
Timo: Yes, a keyboard and a garage also will do!
Luzi: Sure! And everyone will always come there faithfully and will always be very super-dedicated!
Timo: Hey, then we’ll go to a pub! The Beatles also started this way! Okay?
Luzi: Timo!
Timo: Yes, okay, they won…Stop the positive thinking!
Luzi: Just look at what we’ve managed these last weeks!
Timo: And nearly always with choreography!
Luzi: Which will be quite difficult in a garage!
Timo: And without Mrs. Vogel! Do you think she will still take part? Even without payment?
Luzi: I don’t know! Maybe… Ahh, I just want the AG back!
Timo: Hey! Then believe in it! Come on!
Luzi und Timo “Chasing Cars” (Snow Patrol)
[Pestalozzi]
Bea: You’re defending Ms. Lohmann?
Julian: Well, I know Ms. Lohmann very well….from working together for years…and normally she’s not one to turn her aggressions on someone else.
Bea: I also know Ms. Lohmann very well. That’s why I should have known how she would react.
Julian: Good…. You provoked, she overreacted. Can we agree that, in this case, there is no clear-cut guilty party?
Bea: To avoid legal consequences?
Julian: Yes! It’s water under the bridge!
Bea: Mr. Götting! It’s not that simple! Ms. Lohmann attacked me with a pair of scissors! How do I know that this won’t happen again? Somehow we have to make sure it won’t.
Julian: I’ve… talked to her, and she deeply regrets this unpleasant incident. Think of the reputation of the school! What would happen if this went public? I’m in favor of having business continue as normally as possible.
Bea: As normally as possible? As always!
Julian: That would be my aim, yes. For the benefit of the school!
Bea: Okay! Agreed!
Julian: You, you agree?
Bea: You forget what has happened, and so will I! And from now on you’ll leave the AG, my pupils and I in peace!
Julian: Your AG?
Bea: Well, it will continue! Or have I gotten something wrong? Everything will remain as before. For the benefit of the school!
Julian: And what about the work at the volleyball field? We don’t want to provoke Alexandra once again.
Bea: Well I, I also think that the students should work a bit together. Get closer to eachother.
Julian: So we are in complete agreement.
Bea: The main point is that we can rehearse again. Without any further incidents!
[At the Bergmann Villa]
Stefan: That’s Caro’s baby?
Ben: Our baby! You can already see the heartbeat!
Stefan: May I?
Ben: No! I have no desire for your cynicism! You will just say my baby is a cluster of cells or something like that.
Stefan: Why do you think that?
Ben: Because you don’t want me to become a Father. Cause you want to manipulate me! Ha, that never worked!
Stefan: You’re wrong, Ben! I am all for taking over the responsibility as a Father! If you’re able to! But you aren’t yet! You’re going to spoil your future!
Ben: Stop it! I won’t let Caro down!
Stefan: Heroic words! Very impressive, really! And what’s behind all this? Did you already calculate what such a child will cost? Did you even look for a job? Have you gone to the employment agency?
Ben: The money isn’t the point!
Stefan: You think you can raise a child with just love and heroic words?
Ben: Thank God this doesn’t concern you! The child is not yours!
Stefan: I should stay out of it, yes?
Ben: Mmh!
Stefan: Ok then! We’ll see how you manage all on your own, then. Without my money!
Ben: No problem!
Stefan: No problem?
Ben: Tomorrow I’m gone!
[Pestalozzi, Auditorium]
Timo: Hey…
Luzi: And? Have you already talked to Götting?
Bea: Yes, I have!
Hotte: He’ll let us still have the AG?
Bea: Yes! And regarding the matter of the faked medical certificates…he will turn a blind eye to that as well!
Emma: But how you manage that?
Bea: Negotiation skills?!
Timo: Haha!
Bea: Only….the thing with the volleyball field, you won’t be able to avoid that.
Hotte: Hey, no sweat! I have so much energy I could start bulldozing right now!
Timo: Hahaha!
Luzi: Well, that’s nothing new…!
(Everyone is kind of happily laughing)
Bea: Okay, well then…we’ll see eachother tomorrow!
Luzi: Uh..how about now?
Bea: Tomorrow is better. The negotiations were rather exhausting. I need some time for myself!
Emma: AWESOME!
Timo: Hahaha….yeah!
(The STAG all high five and hug in celebration!!!)
[Pestalozzi]
Caro: Okay, you fought with your father! So what? You know him! He’ll cool down again.
Ben: Yes, but maybe I won’t cool down! I’ve had it up to here!
Caro: Just don’t say you will move out!
Ben: Why not?
Caro: Maybe because I don’t want to live with my baby under a bridge?
Ben: You still live with your parents, right?
Caro: Yes! And when they find out what’s going on they will throw me out! Or they will force me to put the child up for adoption!
Ben: Then tell them already!
Caro: I know! I must tell them! Nevertheless, we need your father! So pull yourself together and get along with him!
(Caros phone is ringing) Yes. Ah you! That doesn’t work for me right now! Me? Why? Okay, I’ll come!
My mother! No clue what she wants from me, but I have to go!
Ben: Caro, we don’t need your parents, or my Father! We especially don’t need his damn money!
Caro: Okay! And how shall we live?
Ben: It’s very simple! I’ll look for a job! I can care for us! It will be enough for the bare necessities!
[Pestalozzi, schoolyard]
Jenny singing “Lovefool” in her car
Emma coming along on her bicycle….neither are paying attention to the things they should be…
- and crash
Emma: Owwwah.
Jenny: Hey
Emma: Owwaahh….
Jenny: Are you okay?
Emma: Yes. But apparently you’re blind!
Jenny: (really concerned) Hey you, that really wasn’t on purpose!
Emma: I hope not! (looking at her battered bicycle) Great! Your sense of tact is really remarkable!
Jenny: Hey you, I told you that I’m sorry! And look at the car!
Emma: (getting a bit furious) Oh so sorry that I damaged your luxury vehicle with my crummy little bike!
Jenny: Hey Giftzwerg! (Hey Poison dwarf!) Did you get this sound byte with the adventskalender?
The car doesn’t even belong to me!
Emma: Did you say Giftzwerg (Poison dwarf)?
Jenny: Well….with the way you are spewing poison around….!
Emma: You know what? I used to think you were nicer too..!
And appropriate to the mirror-image scenery we now see Emma rushing off (okay, rather limping away) and this time it is Jenny left back after the battle – “Love is a battle-field” - yet;)
[Pestalozzi]
Michael: Bea! What’s happening with you and Alexandra? What is the escalation you were talking about?
Bea: We have our differences! The usual!
Michael: You’re a good teacher, but you’re not a good liar! So tell me: what has happened?
Bea: Please, don’t be cross with me, but there are some things in life that are better kept to yourself. Surely you can understand that?
Michael: Yes. I just thought that if you wanted to talk about it…
Bea: You will be the first I call. Promise!
Michael: I’m just worried!
Bea: I know. Thank you.
[Saal 1]
Caro: I don’t have much time. There is a problem. Ben is completely spazzing out.
Stefan: I know! So I’ll come right to the point. This whole rigmarole must come to an end.
Caro: Simply put, I’m pregnant. That can’t be helped.
Stefan: Yes, you can. You will get an abortion, leave Cologne and never see Ben again!
Caro: Like hell I will!
Stefan: That was your idea, Caro! Don’t you remember? You wanted to press me for 5000 €!
Caro: Maybe! But things have changed!
Stefan: And so has the prize! I’ve already realized that.
Caro: So you think I am bribable?
Stefan: Is that a serious question?
Caro: You can’t bribe me! Not any more. (Stefan holds up a paper and reads it….and OF COURSE Caro is unable to control her curiosity) What’s that?
Stefan: A current account statement of a numbered account in Switzerland. (Stefan places it on the table and Caro sees that the balance of said account is 100,000.00 €! She’s obviously knows NOTHING about money, because that paltry amount won’t keep her in the high life for long!) Yes, it all could be your own! Abort and you will be rich!
