Episode 190

 

[Review]

 

 

 

Lawyer:Today the married couple, Helena Schmidt-Heisig and Michael Heisig, is present. After the expiration of the year of separation both of them testify their marriage as irretrievably broken.

 

Michael:Correct.

 

Helena:I can’t sign this. I know you still have feelings for me, too! You’re the love of my life. I can’t throw this away.

 

Michael:Helena…

 

Helena:Michael, please give us a second chance!

 

 

 

[Intro]

 

 

 

[At the attorney’s office]

 

 

 

Helena: Michael, I’ve just put my heart onto the desk here right next to the divorce documents. I was honest with you. Please be honest with me.

 

Michael: You want some honesty? When we got married I was in love with a wonderful woman. She was passionate, she fought for the things she wanted and she always got them. And the means she used were always fair. The woman sitting in front of me now is a cold and heartless schemer who uses any means to get what she wants. Helena, you're saying that you love me but in all of those weeks, with everything you have done you haven’t thought about me for one single moment. Otherwise you would have listened to me and understood that I love Bea. Everything that the two of us have had is history.

 

(Michael signs the documents)

 

 

 

 

 

[At school]

 

 

 

Lara pretends to read a book while waiting for Bodo to come along. Bodo stops in the hallway but is listening to music and doesn’t hear a thing which Lara doesn’t realize.

 

Lara talking to Bodo’s back:Bodo!! I know when I’ve screwed things up. And when you invited me to the movies and I rebuffed you in front of my friends, it was totally out of order.

 

Bodo starts walking away.

 

Lara:Hey, what are you doing?

 

Bodo:Lara, hey! Ok, have I missed something?

 

Lara:Hm, probably the worst apology ever. Well, you said I should invite someone along on your ticket.

 

Bodo:Was that wrong, too? I know that it’s not common, doing things like this but…but when you didn’t want to come…Sorry, again! I’ve…I’ve just misinterpreted the signs. With you women…it’s like Spanish when I don’t speak Spanish at all!

 

Lara:Will you go to the movies with me now, or won't you? We’ll meet at the entrance!

 

 

 

 

 

[At the attorney’s office]

 

 

 

Lawyer:You have signed already?

 

Michael:Yes, we have.

 

Lawyer:Then you don’t have any other questions? You know that this is a final decision.

 

Helena:Everything’s clear.

 

Lawyer:Good. Then for me there’s only one thing left to say: Hereby your marriage is dissolved.

 

(Helena rushes off)

 

Michael:Helena!

 

 

 

 

 

[Outside on the streets]

 

(Ronnie approaches Ben with two friends)

 

 

 

Ronnie:Love letters? I wouldn’t open them either! It can only be a misunderstanding!...200 hours of community service and the loss of the driver’s license…that’s totally f**ked up, isn’t it?

 

Ben: These hours of community service are nothing compared to what will happen to you when it’s revealed that your alibi is wrong!

 

Ronnie:Well, if you’re still looking for someone to take your Mustang. I would kindly volunteer.

 

Ben:(laughs)And I’ve heard that you don’t even have a driver’s license!! I guess that they won’t be really lenient with you when this whole thing comes to light!

 

Ronnie:You’d better watch out that I won’t press charges against you for libel, huh?!

 

Ben:The race was real! And you know of the consequences!

 

Ronnie:Gosh, please spare me this constant whining! It’s really hard to believe that we have the same genes, isn’t it?! But hey, I don’t want to be keeping you any longer as you won’t have much time from now on. Wiping asses at the retirement home and taking out the trash…have fun!!

 

 

 

[Auditorium]

 

 

 

(Jenny and Emma kiss)

 

 

 

Emma: I should have known. You said on the phone, that it's about the anti-discrimination day, but you only brought me here to make out undisturbed.

 

Jenny: Don't be too full of yourself. I had an idea about what we could distribute among the students. Here, these are all sayings against prejudices concerning homosexuality. We could have them printed on t-shirts.(Lebanese,for example?^^)

 

Emma: And if Mrs. Vogel manages to organize a great band from RaumZeit Records, it’ll be really great!

 

(Emma starts to think about something)

 

Jenny: What’s going on?

 

Emma: I just...hope that... that this day won’t draw any more attention on us.

 

Jenny: I will make sure that nobody is going to hurt you again.

 

Bodo: There you are. Thank God…I've got a date!

 

 

 

 

 

[Piet’s apartment]

 

 

 

Piet:Hey! Sometimes I think that you are able to smell when dinner is ready so that you won’t have to help with it!

 

Lara:Sorry, I have to clarify something…To prevent myself from getting a second heart attack: You really managed the cooking by yourself? Mom isn’t sitting in the closet half naked, hiding?

 

Piet:Very funny!...Here, even if Sonja has banned me from her life and the dancing group, she didn’t forget you. Here.

 

Piet hands Lara an envelope. She opens it and finds VIP-passes for Tim Bendzko.

 

Lara:Oh my god! That is…

 

 

 

 

 

[Auditorium]

 

 

 

Bodo:The problem is the stammering! As soon as I see Lara, my ability to talk fails!

 

Emma:Well, I know stuff about stage fright! The best trick is: If you have the worst expectations then you won’t be nervous anymore!Just think: This date will be a complete fail!

 

Jenny:Hah, well it’s a miracle that you’ve found someone at all with this strategy!

 

Emma:Hm, ok…No. 1: What are you going to wear?

 

 

 

 

 

[Piet’s apartment]

 

 

 

Lara:S**t, what shall I wear?

 

Piet:What is this anyways? A VIP-Ticket for the live concert of Tim Bendzko.

 

Lara:Ey, this is going to be awesome! I can go there with my friends, and then we can see Tim and talk to him, or at least wave at him, whatever! Anyways, we’ll go to the after-show party and we’ll be able to experience the concert up really close the whole time!!

 

Piet:Ok, but I thought you were a fan of those black stallions or something like that?!

 

Lara:The Black Pony?

 

Piet:Yes!

 

Lara:Ah, well The Black Pony is my favourite band! Tim Bendzko is my favourite solo artist!

 

Piet:Ah, ok!

 

 

 

 

 

[Auditorium]

 

 

 

Emma:No. 2: Do you have a gift?

 

(Bodo shows them an autograph of The Black Pony)

 

Jenny:What is that??

 

Bodo:It’s an autograph of The Black Pony!

 

Jenny:Ah!

 

Bodo:I got it at the promo party (of RaumZeit Records).

 

Emma:You still haven’t given it to her?

 

Bodo:I haven’t gotten around to doing it.

 

Emma:Well, then you shouldn’t be wondering why you're not making any headway with her!

 

Bodo:What is it with you? Women and autographs?(tee hee..ahem) It’s just a name!

 

Jenny:Hey, you don’t have to understand it, ok? The most important thing is that Lara goes crazy about it! She loves The Black Pony!

 

 

 

 

 

[Piet’s apartment]

 

 

 

Lara:Wow, I wouldn't have expected this anymore! Sonja is really awesome!! Oh, sorry!

 

Piet:It’s ok. That means you’ll go to the concert?

 

Lara:If I’ll go there? What a stupid question: If I’ll go there?

 

Piet:A simple “yes” would have been enough…yes.

 

 

 

 

 

[Auditorium]

 

 

 

Jenny:This is your first date, right?

 

Bodo:No!!...Yes, kind of.

 

Jenny:Subtle flirting, ok? Lara…she would have never asked you if she didn’t like you! And you still have enough time to practice with Emma and me!

 

Mrs Jäger:Hello everybody! I’ve got the notes for your new songs here!

 

(Mrs Jäger gives Bodo a wink)

 

Jenny:Have you seen that?

 

Emma:Hell yeah!!

 

(Jenny laughs)

 

Jenny:Our Bodo doesn’t even need a flirting course! He's already very popular with women!

 

 

 

 

 

[Chulos]

 

 

 

Sebastian:Everything OK?

 

Ben:Do you know a remedy against cowards and crooked bastards?

 

Sebastian:Unfortunately, I don’t know any. But if you find something, let me know.

 

Guy:Hey, don’t tell me you can do your community service here, in this cool club.

 

Ben:And how do you know about the community service?

 

Guy:Everybody knows.

 

Ben:Ronnie…

 

Ben finally opens his letter. It’s a speeding ticket for his car. The photo shows that Ronnie was driving.

 

Ben:I don’t believe this. Yes!

 

Sebastian:Did something happen?

 

Ben:The remedy? I’ve found it.

 

Ben takes out his phone

 

Ben:Now you’re in for it, asshole.

 

 

 

 

 

[RaumZeit Records]

 

 

 

Miriam:All of these still have to go to Frank Peters today, okay? Thanks.

 

The phone rings.

 

Miriam:Raumzeit Records, Miriam Vogel speaking.

 

Ben:This is Ben Bergmann, hi.

 

Miriam:Ben? If you want to talk to your uncle, this isn’t such a good time because..

 

Ben:Is Ronnie already there?

 

Miriam:No. He isn’t here yet.

 

Ben:Sure? He isn’t answering his phone but he wanted to go to Frank.

 

Miriam:As I’ve said, he isn’t here.

 

Miriam:Did something happen? You sound strange.

 

 

 

 

 

[Chulos]

 

 

 

Ben:I’ll come by right now.

 

Ben pays for his drink and leaves.

 

 

 

 

 

[Raumzeit Records]

 

 

 

Bea:I have an appointment with your boss. Would you please announce me?

 

Miriam:Äh, I'm making all of the appointments for my boss and you aren’t in his schedule. Apart from that, we have a coffee machine.

 

Bea:Vanilla toffee…

 

Miriam:Yep, that’s exactly what I need. For reals,now. What are you doing here?

 

Bea:I’ve called Frank Peters. I need one of his bands for the anti-discrimination day. He said,that if I wanted to talk to him, to do it today. He will be gone…

 

Miriam:London.

 

Bea:Can you fit me in?

 

Miriam:Ah, that’s what the vanilla toffee is for.

 

Frank:Ach, Frau Vogel. Miriam, how much time do I have left?

 

Miriam:Half an hour.

 

Frank:OK, then come with me.

 

 

 

 

 

[At Pestalozzi, principal’s office]

 

Helena is crying.

 

:`-(

 

 

 

[At Raumzeit Records, Frank’s office]

 

 

 

Frank:That’s very short notice.

 

Bea:Discrimination is a pressing problem.

 

Frank:Yes, true. But you know how this sounds: anti-discrimination day. I can’t imagine anyone thinking that's cool.

 

Bea:Then I’ll explain the background to you. One of my students was attacked by some guys…because she is a lesbian. They acted out a mock rape and filmed the whole thing with her mobile phone. And this video they then sent to her girlfriend. Do you understand?I want to do something against that! And do you know why I came to you? So that it will become a cool event!

 

Frank:Ok, I get that point.

 

Bea:So you’ll help us?

 

Frank:Apart from the title of the show, what are you planning on doing?

 

Bea:We want to mount a huge event at our school. STAG will perform, there will be many activities and everything will end with a huge party at Chulos’. Ah, come on! You’re using Chulos’ for promotional gigs anyway…and maybe a newcomer band will be glad for the opportunity! Or even better: Maybe a big, successful band wants to support us in this!

 

(Bea sees Ben at the reception)

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, Reception]

 

 

 

Miriam:(on the phone) Yes, if you do it after the appointment.

 

(Ben appears)

 

Ben:Hey.

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, Frank’s office]

 

(Bea keeps looking at Ben)

 

 

 

Frank:Mrs Vogel?

 

Bea:Hm?

 

Frank:Have you heard what I said?

 

Bea:You want to help us.

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, Reception]

 

 

 

Miriam: (on the phone)Thank you very much! Goodbye. (She hangs up) Ronnie isn’t here yet, sorry.

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, Frank’s office]

 

 

 

Frank: I've said that I think it’s a good idea and that I’ll use this day of action as some PR for my label and one of my bands. Miriam will take care of the media and the organization at Chulo's, if that’s ok with you.

 

Bea:Äh, yes! I’m already very busy with the organization at school. And if you have any questions you are welcome to approach me any time.

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, Reception]

 

(Ronnie shows up)

 

 

 

Ronnie:Hello.

 

Miriam:Hi.

 

(Ronnie sees Ben)

 

Ronnie:Don’t tell me you’re doing your hours of community service here!

 

Ben:Better! Much better! Tell me, do you know those little black boxes which take pictures of you secretly when you pass them by too fast? 7.52pm, B506. How are you going to explain to the police that you were at the wheel of MY car on THIS road just seconds before the accident? Even though you allegedly were with Sophie?

 

(Ronnie takes away the picture)

 

Ben:There’s a copy of this picture…at the police. Do you want to break in there? Well, now it’s revealed. You are f**ked up!

 

Ronnie:Not a word to Frank!

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, Reception]

 

 

 

Frank:Äh, Miriam! We’ve planned an attack on you. It’s about the anti-discrimination day.

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, music studio]

 

 

 

Ben:Do you want to tie me to the drums now?

 

 

 

 

 

[In front of the movies]

 

(Bodo is waiting for Lara. He suddenly sees a girl from behind and approaches her thinking it’s Lara)

 

 

 

Bodo:Lara?

 

(The girl turns around and shakes her head)

 

(Mrs Jäger comes by)

 

Mrs Jäger:Hello! Well, that’s a surprise now!

 

Bodo:Hello.

 

Mrs Jäger: I’m not the much longed for date, am I?

 

Bodo:Not really.

 

(Caro comes by and sees them together)

 

Bodo:A buddy of mine wanted to join me, but…he apparently can’t make it.

 

(Caro starts recording them with her mobile phone)

 

(Mrs Jäger looks at the tickets for the movies)

 

Mrs Jäger:I’ve been wanting to watch this movie for some time. I’ve just never found someone who wanted to accompany me.

 

(Caro keeps filming)

 

Mrs Jäger:May I?

 

Bodo:Ok, if you like.

 

Mrs Jäger:I’ll pay for the popcorn.

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records]

 

(Some girls leave the label)

 

 

 

Girl 1:Bye.

 

Frank:Bye.

 

Girl 2:Bye.

 

Frank:Good, that’s it on my side. If you have any other questions, Mrs Vogel is your contact person.

 

Miriam & Bea: Super!

 

Frank:Yes, then get started and make something of it! So that I won’t regret helping you, afterwards.

 

Bea:You won’t.

 

Frank:Äh, is Ronnie still here?

 

Miriam:He was here a moment ago and now he’s already gone again.

 

Frank:Good. If you meet him, please tell him that I’ll call when I have arrived in London.

 

Miriam:Your cab is waiting downstairs and here are your documents.

 

Frank:Very good. See you!

 

Miriam:See you!

 

Bea:You’re doing your job so well!

 

Miriam:It’s really stressful BUT it’s awesome!

 

Bea:Tell me, did you catch what Ronnie and Ben have been talking about?

 

Miriam:No. And I think it’s better if you wouldn’t be interested in it either.

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, music studio]

 

 

 

Ronnie:How about I’ll kick your ass like you want to kick my ass? Or why are you showing up with this damn photo here at my brother’s, huh?

 

Ben:I want justice! And I want your f**king lies to finally stop!

 

Ronnie:Well, then go to the police! The picture may prove that I was driving your car but not by a long shot that I caused the accident!

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, reception]

 

 

 

Bea:Well, if we get a really wicked band for the anti-discrimination day, it’ll be a huge success!

 

Miriam:But you really do need an abbreviation for it! It’s a total tongue twister! Hm, what about…ähh…Anti Diss Day?

 

(Bea laughs)

 

Miriam:Ok, that sounds crappy, too. Uhm, what about…hm…Pro Human Day?

 

Bea:I forgot my jacket. Would you mind waiting for a bit?

 

Miriam:Well, Sebastian has been waiting downstairs for me for half an hour already.

 

Bea:Good, then give him many regards from me!

 

Miriam:Ok. Bye sweetie!

 

 

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, music studio]

 

 

 

Ronnie:Why won’t you just let me pay for the ticket and we’ll forget about all of this?

 

Ben: You don’t get it! GAME OVER!

 

Ronnie:I’ve got an alibi.

 

Ben:And I can prove that your alibi is worth sh*t! And that YOU are responsible for the accident!

 

Ronnie starts to attack Ben but Ben pushes him back so hard he lands on his butt and slides across the floor.

 

Ronnie:Stupid a**hole!

 

Bea hears the crash and comes into the room.

 

 

 

 

 

[At school]

 

 

 

Michael:Helena! Listen, I’m sorry about how it went at the lawyer’s earlier. I don’t want us to…us to part on bad terms now…How are you?

 

Helena:I’m fine. Several things have become clear to me now. What happened between us wasn’t only your fault. There are always two people for this kind of escalation. In our case even three. I’ve made mistakes, too. I…just misinterpreted the signs. When we slept with each other, it was like in the past. Maybe even better.

 

Michael:Helena…

 

Helena:I just don’t know now what I’m doing here anymore. Maybe I should just quit the job as principal, leave it to Bea and start over somewhere else.

 

Michael:Uhm, yes, yes, it would…would be good for you and for all of us.

 

Helena:You f**king asshole! The cheating back then was nothing compared to what you did today! I’ve never been humiliated like this before in my life!

 

Michael:Äh, it’s not my fault that you declared your love to me at the last second!

 

Helena:Forget about this love declaration! You’ll regret that you rejected me! And you will wish you hadn’t done it! But by then it’ll be too late!

 

(Hell hath no fury..)

 

 

 

[At RaumZeit Records, music studio]

 

 

 

Ronnie:Why do you always have to interfere with everything?? This is not school! You have no say here!

 

Bea:I don’t agree!

 

Ronnie:Well, think what you want.

 

Bea:Ben, what’s the point of this?

 

Ben:I’ve just tried to make it clear to Ronnie that he won’t get away with his lies forever.

 

Bea:Maybe you should try to find an alternative for once instead of beating him up constantly! (Ben starts smiling?)What’s so funny?

 

Ben:You’re worried about me. That is…

 

Bea:What?

 

Ben:It’s nice.

 

Bea:Don’t change the subject.

 

(Ronnie locks Bea and Ben up in the music studio)

 

Bea:Do you want to tell me again that you’re completely innocent?

 

Ben:I didn’t say that!

 

Bea:Ben, you’re that close to getting expelled from school!

 

 

 

 

 

[Outside the music studio]

 

 

 

Ronnie:(on the phone)Hey, Sophie, it’s me again. When will you pick up and talk to me again? Hey, I thought we were a team. Yes…I’ll keep trying. Bye.

 

 

 

 

 

[Inside the music studio]

 

 

 

Bea:If I were you, I wouldn’t even begin to provoke Ronnie!...Now let’s go. I don’t believe this!

 

Ben:What?

 

Bea:Ronnie locked us in!
