Episode 178

[Previously on Hand aufs Herz]

Helena: I know that my behavior towards you and Michael hasn't always been the best.
                And I want to bury the hatchet for that reason.

Bea: I'm not opposed to that.

Helena: Dinner together?
(YES! Your Belena shipping translatress..)

Krawczyk: What is that?

Sophie: I don´t know what that is.

Krawczyk: Either you tell me where you got this from or I am calling the police. So?

Sophie: I can´t tell you.

Krawczyk: And why not? Then tell me who is behind this!
                   Okay, that´s enough.

Sophie:  No! I´ll tell you . Okay...


INTRO


Krawczyk: So? What is it? Do you deal with that stuff?

Sophie: No,I...I'm taking it myself..

Krawczyk: Sophie...

Sophie: But that doesn't make me a junkie or anything!Really!

Krawczyk: How in the world did you get into this mess?

__________________________________________________________________________________

Helena: Perfect!
               So,do you like what you see?

Stefan: Are we going on the same date?

Helena: Why?

Stefan: Because you're looking so seductive.

Helena: Am I not allowed to?

Stefan: Of course..but it's giving me ideas...

Helena: Then the dress fulfills its purpose.

Stefan: We could cancel our guests and get rid of this really quickly.
 
Helena: Believe me, I have a feeling, that you will yet be greatly entertained this evening.

Stefan: With Ms. Vogel and your not quite ex husband?
              I doubt it..all they ever want to do is milk me for money.

Helena: Ms. Vogel can be very entertaining. You only have to find the right cue.

Stefan: I'm very much looking forward to that magic word.

Helena: Well, let yourself be surprised.

Krawczyk: I know that things haven't been easy for you lately, but drugs are no solution!

Sophie: I know.

Krawczyk: Obviously you don´t!

Sophie: I only meant to try it.

Krawczyk: And what for?
                 You're only ruining your life like that!

Sophie: My life is ruined already!

Krawczyk: Nothing could be that bad, that it would warrant throwing your life away.

Sophie: My father is dead..and now it has turned out, that he has been a murderer.
              And my mother..she isn't that much better either..she has moved away from Cologne,only  
              because people were talking too much.

Krawczyk: But she didn't just up and leave without telling you?

Sophie: No, she asked me if I wanted to come along, but I couldn't just go away to the Harz       
               (woodsy,pretty area of Germany). She regularly sends me money, pays for my room..but that
               doesn't change anything about the fact,that I'm alone.

Krawczyk: But you have friends at school.

Sophie: No,I don't. Actually, no one wants anything to do with me anymore..and I've got nothing to
              say to my old friends anymore..but surely,you won't understand that..

Krawczyk: I do,I think I do. And that's why I see only one solution..Wait here,and don't move.

Sophie: But you're not going to call the police,are you?__________________________________________________________________________________

Emma: Thank you for driving me, I would have been late otherwise.

 

Ben: And you're going to do the announcement for the dance marathon?

 

Emma:Yes, they were looking for someone and I work there anyways, so I thought to myself, why not?

 

Ben:The new Emma?

 

Emma: Why?

 

Ben:Weren't you the one with exam anxiety?

 

Emma:Yes,I was afraid of a lot of things.

 

Ben:Well, then a few things have changed.Your performance was incredible.

 

Emma: You think?

 

Ben:That you and Jenny came out in the middle of the schoolyard:Respect.

 

Emma:Yeah..well, actually we have been together for quite a while ,but I never dared to really talk about it.

 

Ben:But that works pretty well now.

 

Emma:Yes, I never would have thought that I'd be so happy and free! That was the most important step in my life..Even if some people don't approve..

 

Ben:Nonsense, who wouldn't approve?

 

Emma: There are a lot of  morons..they even sullied my locker..but I don't effin care..it's their problem if they're small minded and dumb..not mine.

 

Ben:I'll remember that. I'm a fan of the new Emma.

 

Emma:But it probably wasn't easy for you to turn yourself in to the police,either...

 

Ben:No, but I had no choice.

 

Emma: But you did.You could have simply acted as though nothing had happened.

 

Ben:But then I would have hated myself for the rest of my life..and honestly, I don't feel free and happy exactly,now either..What I did, I will never be able to undo...

 

Emma:I can understand that..but to tear yourself up about this, is useless..You're facing up to it now..and you weren't the only one involved..it was an accident!

 

Ben:And that coming from you..you were in it.

 

Emma:Yes, and it was the most horrible thing that has ever happened to me.But it has happened..and what I learned from it was that you have to face up to your feelings and listen to your heart.And f*** what others say!

 

Ben:Sounds easier than it really is.

 

Emma:I was surprised about how easy it actually is.

              But I have to go now.See you tomorrow.

 

Ben:Bye.

 

Emma.Bye.
          _________________________________________________________________________________

Krawczyk: Well, I should report the whole business of this to the police. Or at least inform our
                   headmistress.

Sophie: But you're not planning on doing this,are you?

Krawczyk: Sophie, your future hangs by a silken thread..it's up to you now.
                   For now, your drug problem will remain between the two of us.

Sophie: I don't have a drug problem!

Krawczyk: As I said, I will not report your drug problem for now..under one condition:
                   You will go to this institution and regularly  partake in their counseling sessions..
                   Every single week.

Sophie: Ok!

Krawczyk: And you shall deliver  protocols from the individual appointments straight to me.
Furthermore,I shall keep a very keen eye on you.

Sophie: Understood.

Krawczyk: I am taking a very big personal risk upon myself with this,
                   Therefore, should I harbor the slightest of doubts,that you are continuing to take this
                    stuff,or deal it..

Sophie. That was a mistake.

Krawczyk: Then do everything in your power for this to remain a simple mistake.
                   I know very well, what it is like to rid yourself of an addiction..but you can do it.  Don't  
                   disappoint me.

Sophie: I won't, I promise.



(in front of the Bergmann Villa)
Michael: Here we are.

Bea: Let's get it over with quickly.

Michael: We don't have to go in there,let's just cancel.

Bea: No we can't.

Michael: Bea, this invitation for dinner..it's absolutely ridiculous.

Bea: Helena has finally accepted us as a couple. That's why she's inviting us for dinner.
         We can also just simply talk about school..or ..we'll say thanks for the food,and then we'll leave.
         Come on, it won't be that bad..I'll even drive back!

Michael: Bea..I love you.

Bea: Can we go?

Michael: I just want you to know..no matter what happens.

Bea: Good.

(they go up to the house)

Helena: Welcome!

Bea: Good evening.

Michael: Hello. Isn't that a bit daring for a casual evening amongst colleagues?

Helena: Why? Don't you like it?

Bea: I think it's pretty.

Helena: Thank you, I like wearing it for special occasions..and then, usually, not for long.

Michael: May I have your jacket?

Bea: Yes.

Stefan: Look, the guests have arrived! Please enter, an aperitif is waiting for you, already.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Sebastian: They all look like professional dancers.

Miriam: Do I care? It is not about winning, it's about having fun!

Sebastian:I'll take care of that. They'll be laughing when they see me dancing.

Miriam: It won't matter.

Sebastian: Apart from your ex and his date,that is.

Miriam: What? Where? Great.. Hi! There are no meals served today. Today is a dancing competition.

Sonja: That's the reason we're here.

Miriam: Really? Hello! I am Miriam.

Sonja: Hi!

Piet: This is my ex wife and her boyfriend Sebastian.

Sonja: I am Sonja. Nice to meet you.

Sebastian: You can probably forget about the fun now.  Come on, let's go!

Miriam: Well...

Piet: Come on. Let's go somewhere else. Have some dinner or something.

Sonja: Do you want to back-down? Because of them?

Piet: I don´t want them to be staring at us the whole evening.

Sonja: We're staying.

Emma: On behalf of Saal 1 I welcome all dancing couples to our marathon. The rules are simple:
             The couple, who holds out the longest wins.

Miriam: See? It's not about elegance!

Emma: And to make things even more exciting, we have come up with something very special this year!
             The couples will be drawn! Same chances for everyone!



(at school)
Ronnie: Hey! You have the money?

Sophie: No.

Ronnie: What? Why not?

Sophie: There was a problem.

Ronnie: What is so difficult about  selling some drugs?

Sophie: The Krawczyk caught me.

Ronnie: And my drugs?

Sophie: Ms. Krawczyk has them.

Ronnie: How can someone be such an idiot? Didn't you hide them?

Sophie: Of course I did! In the book. But Ms. Krawczyk took it.

Ronnie: If I had known that you would screw this up....

Sophie: I took on full responsibility and kept you out of it completely.

Ronnie: Really?

Sophie: Ms. Krawczyk thinks that I'm taking drugs and that's the reason why I have to go to drug addiction therapy..

Ronnie: Where everyone is in detoxification?

Sophie: Yes, every week.

Ronnie: And you have to go there?

Sophie: Yes, because Ms. Krawczyk will report me if I don't.

Ronnie: It's a great exercise!

Sophie: So you are not mad at me?

Ronnie: Of course not! How could I be mad at a sweet girl like you?

(back at the Bergmann's)
Stefan: The secret lies in  young olive oil. Preferably some with a fruity note.
(pours some)
Bea: Thank you very much.

Helena: Michael likes green asparagus a lot. Just some advice.

Bea: I don´t know if I am able to cook that.Want some oil?

Michael: Thank you.

Helena: You can also eat well at Saal 1. Like we did recently.

Bea: To talk about your divorce. I know that.

Helena: Right. A good meal is one of the possibilities to be saying goodbye to a marriage. Mmm, green asparagus.  
               A natural aphrodisiac. But Michael doesn´t need anything like that.

Michael: Can we please talk about something else?

Helena: Why? You are not that uptight,usually.

Bea: We are only here to talk about the arrangement of the subvention funds.

Stefan: Miss Vogel, do you really want to be talking about that right now?

Bea: Well, how often does the chance arise to sit be sitting with our principle and the biggest supporter of our school at one table? Michael has already been thinking about some things. Michael?

Ben: Hello everyone.

Stefan: Ben! Sit with us. Have dinner with us.

Ben: No, thanks. I´m not hungry. Have fun.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Emma: So. We still have Sonja... and...Sebastian!

Sebastian: Great.

Emma: Ina and... Markus! And the last couple is... Piet und Miriam!

Piet: Okay. We are out... let's go.

Sonja: What is that supposed to mean?

Piet: Come one, they can dance together and we do something else.

Sonja: That is out of the question!

Emma: Then let's start the music and have some fun!

Sonja: Let´s dance.

Piet: Yes and now?

Miriam: Dance or we'll get kicked out?

Piet: So...

Miriam: Piet, don't be such a coward!  We aren't doing this for the first time!
               Seems, like we never did anything else.

Flashback

Ben: Bea trusts you. She deserves the truth.

Michael: And now you are going to tell her, or what?

Ben: No, you will.

Emma: But what  I have learned is  that you have to stand up for to your feelings and listen to your heart.
              And to not care about other people.

Ben: Right, f*** off.

________________________________________________________________________________

Helena: Venice. A few years ago I went to Vencie, as well. Without Michael.He didn´t want to come with me. What was it,that you were saying about Venice,again? It is the first choice for desperate couples who are looking for a little mercenary romance.

Michael: No, I didn´t say anything like that.  

Helena: No? It must have been Helge.  Right. You said it is the perfect place to confess a misstep.

Bea: Okay. It is late. We should go.

Helena: But you have to try a digestif,first!

Bea: I am not interested. I still have to drive.

Michael: I'll take one.

Helena: Good. Maybe you will be a little more talkative,then.

Bea: Helena, what are you going on about? If you want to tell me something, then do it.

Helena: I don´t have to tell you anything. But maybe Michael does?.

Bea: I´ll be back in a minute.

Stefan: Does anyone want an espresso?

Michael: Don't try it again!

Helena: What? To make an honest person out of you?

________________________________________________________________________________

Sonja: And now..the twist!

Sebastian: Oh, right.

Sonja: Outch!

Sebastian: I´m sorry.  Was it the same foot?

Sonja: No, it was the other,this time.

Sebastian: I didn't mean to.

Sonja: With you as a partner,one needs safety shoes...

Sebastian: No one forced you to be dancing with me!

Sonja: And what are you doing here , if you are such a lousy dancer?

Sebastian: This is a free country.

Sonja: Awww, that´s enough.

Sebastian: You're already giving up?

Sonja: I don´t want to end up in a wheelchair.

Sonja: We are leaving, are you coming with us?

Piet: I would like to stay and dance a little longer.

Sonja: Great. Then stay.

Piet: Is that alright?

Sonja: Of course. I'm not a spoilsport. I´ll call you, ok?

Sebastian: I´m leaving too. I´ll see you later at home.

Piet: Was that stupid?

Miriam: I don´t know.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Bea: Ben!

Ben: And? How is dinner?

Bea: Dinner is great. I didn´t know that your father can cook!

Ben: He ordered it.

Bea: I knew it.

Ben: Bad evening?
 
Bea: I wouldn't exactly put it like that... But …. bad evening!

Ben: If you don´t want to go back in there, then stay here!

Bea: I'd like to, but...

Ben: Come with me.

Bea: What?

Ben: Let´s go.

Bea: Ben!

Ben: Why not?

Bea: Because I can´t.

Ben: It´s pretty easy: We go to my car and drive somewhere. This whole dinner is a fake.
         No one in there is being honest with you.

Bea: What do you mean?

Ben: It´s not important. Trust me.

Bea: Do you want to tell me something?

Ben: Yes. But not here.

Bea: Ben, I can't go with you right now.

Ben: Bea, just switch off your mind. Just once. Listen to yourself. What is it,that you want?

Bea: I am with Michael.

Ben: But he doesn´t make you happy.

Bea: But I am happy. Even you said so!

Ben: Yes, but that was when I thought that he is being honest with you.

Bea: Always these small hints, all evening long. Could at least you be honest with me?

Ben: The truth is …that you belong with me. And you know it,too.

Bea: I can´t do this. I have to go back.

Ben: Bea, please......

(back at the table)
Michael: I knew that something like this would happen. And I am an idiot to have run into your trap.

Helena: That is true. You should have thought of that sooner.
I like it when you are spontaneous and impulsive.

Bea: What is she talking about? What are all those hints about? Michael?

Helena: Yes, Michael. Tell her.

Michael: Honestly? I'm tired of this. Come on, lets go.

Helena: The truth will come out, anyways.

Bea: What is it?

Helena: It´s your last chance to tell her with retaining a hint of decency.

Michael: I slept with her.
