(Review)

 

While, Bea is getting her camera out of her car Ben slowly walks over to her. Ronnie sees him.

Ronnie: You stupid wanker. You think you can fuck me over, do you? Just wait, I’ll show you.

Ronnie starts racinghis car towards Ben. Bea becomes aware of the danger.

Bea: Ben, look out!

 

(Intro)

 

[Outside the Pestalozzi]

Bea leaps at Ben and pushes him out of the way. They both land in the dirt.Ronnie stops his car.

Bea: Is everything alright?

Ben: Of course.

Bea: Ronnie! God, Ronnie! Are you crazy!?!

Ronnie: Nothing happened, man.

Bea: You almost ran him over.

Ronnie: It’s his own fault, man.

Ben: Say, are you insane?

Ronnie: I just wanted to ask you the same thing. I thought we had a deal. You wanted to keep the thing with the radar picture to yourself.

Ben: And I did.

Ronnie: Did you?

Ben: Yes.

Ronnie: Don’t talk shit, man. You made sure that Frank saw the photo.

Ben: You’re talking shit.

Ronnie: Don’t pretend you don’t know, damn it. Your plan succeeded, congratulations.

Ben: Hä? Frank has the radar photo?

Ronnie: Correct, asshole.

Ronnie drives off with a not so nice hand gesture.

 

[Pestalozzi, at the bottom of the big staircase]

Bodo: Timo! How cool is that!?

Timo: Hey.

Emma, Jenny and Bodo greet Timo.

Emma: How long have you been here?

Jenny: Did you see the whole performance?

Bodo: Why didn’t you let us know that you would come?

Timo: Long enough. Yes, the performance was awesome. And…surprise!

Bodo: Is this only a break from your rehab or…

Emma: …or are you back for real?

Timo: To be honest, I got fed up with doing my homework by myself… No, I wanted to be home again.

Jenny: Ey, that’s really cool.

Emma: Welcome back.

Bodo: And how was the rehab? I mean except for doing homework by yourself being boring?

Timo: Good.

Bodo: By the way, cool wheels. What can they do?

Jenny: Yes!

Timo does aturn with his wheel chair.

Emma: And you can do everything on your own, now?

Timo: Well, stairs are still a little difficult. In rehab I learned how to drive this thing. And some things I still have to get used to, others won’t ever work again but I’ve got two healthy arms.

Jenny: Hey you…you are looking really great.

Bodo: Where is Luzi, anyway? I’m sure she would like to say hello to Timo as well.

Jenny: Ähm, she…she has a very tight schedule. Because of that Raumzeit deal. But hey! She’s totally going to freak out when she sees you here.

Timo: Well, I’m sure she will.

 

 

[Outside the Pestalozzi]

Bea takes out her cell phone. Ben takes it away.

Ben: No!

Bea: Ben! Ronnie wanted to run you over.

Ben: He wanted to blow off some steam. No police.

Bea: What’s up with this? And I can’t understand that you didn’t show the photo to the police in the first place.

Ben: He wanted to tell Frank himself. So I’ve promised to keep my mouth shut.

Bea: Which was a mistake. Ben, start thinking. First, Ronnie lets you take the entire blame for the accident, then he locks you in at the record label and now he’s trying to run you over!

Ben: It’s Ronnie.

Bea: You aren’t doing him any favour if you help him now.

Ben: I can’t stand the guy. But that doesn’t mean I have to be the same kind of ass. I gave him my word. I have to find out where Frank got the picture from. I’ll go over there right now and settle this.

Bea: I’m coming with you.

Ben: You don’t have to protect me…Hm, do protect me. I like that.

 

 

[Raumzeit Records]

Miriam: Frank, it’s about the Magnas

Frank: That’s why I’m here. Is the follow-up contract ready?

Miriam: There is no follow-up contract. The guys have been lured away by another label. I’ve only just now heard about it, too.

Frank: Lured away? I have a deal with them.

Miriam: Yes, but not a written one, unfortunately.

Frank: Okay. Which label?

Miriam: High Sounds.

Frank: I should have known.

Miriam: That was their legal department just now. They are saying that they now hold all the rights after the take-over.

Frank: Yes, that's befits them.

Miriam: What kind of company is that? Do you know it well?

Frank: Better than I’d like.

Miriam: So, how about it? Should I forward this to our legal department?

Frank: Okay, listen up. I need an appointment with them. Today. Because I will not allow High Sounds to snatch these guys away from me.

 

[Pestalozzi, at the bottom of the big staircase]

Timo: My physiotherapist thought I should get back to my old life as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the harder it gets.

Jenny: I can imagine.

Timo: But now to something completely different: your awesome performance just now. How did you come up with an anti-discrimination day?

Emma: Ähm, well…I wrote to you that Jenny and I did this…show in the school yard.

Timo: Ah, your outing.

Jenny: Exactly.

Timo: Okay.

Emma: Yes, but not everyone was as cool with it as you are and so we thought we would organize this day.

Jenny: But this idea wasn’t just about us. We wanted to make clear that nobody will get dissed here who isn’t part of the square mainstream, who think they are the measure of all things.

Timo: Sounds good. But another topic. You don’t happen to have heard about a secret lift, or something?

 

Guys:We can do that.

Jenny: Hey, super!

Jenny & Emma:Thank you!

Timo: You can’t log me up and down the whole time.

Jenny: Hey, it’s not your fault that there are no ramps.

Emma: I never thought about it.

Bodo: And besides, be happy that you have three personnel slaves, now. Dude! What did you get to eat at the rehab?

Jenny: I think there will be a diet up on the agenda next.

Timo: Ey! Thanks guys!

 

 

[Raumzeit Records]

Frank: Listen up you clown. You will hear from me, okay? Okay, bye.

Miriam: Okay. Thanks a lot. Sorry I cannot get anyone of the Magnas.

Frank: Then keep trying, because they still haven’t signed at High Sounds

Miriam: But they have already called concerning the rights.

Frank: Then they are too sure of it. That’s why I need these guys right here by all means.

Miriam: Yes, okay. I got it.

 

[Bea and Ben coming in]

Ben: Hello.

Frank: What can I do for you?

Ben:Where is Ronnie?

Frank: No idea. Is it about the radar photo?

Ben:I wanted to make clear that I didn’t mean for you to know about it, before Ronnie could tell you himself.

Frank: Your father saw that a little differently.

Ben: My father?

Frank: Yes.

Ben:I didn’t tell him. No clue… then he must have found it.

Frank:And he did the only right thing. Why haven’t you told me earlier?

Ben:As I said, that’s a thing between Ronnie and me.

Frank:Between Ronnie and you there is a complete school bus with two dead people and a paraplegic. This whole thing concerns me as well.

Bea:What have you done regarding it?

Frank:I gave him the opportunity to go to the police.

Bea:Let me guess. It wasn’t him. And he went off mad as hell..

Frank:Right. How do you know that?

What happened?

Ben: I’d rather resolve this with Ronnie himself.

Frank:I’ll call him.

 

[Pestalozzi, in the hallway]

Bodo: We have biology now. Should I…

Timo: Push me? Hey man. If you need to push something, get yourself a girlfriend and make a baby, okay? But…(Timo sees Luzi down the hall)…this is something I can manage on my own.

Emma and Jenny realize why Timo is so distracted, Bodo is oblivious.

Bodo: Did you get the last homework? I’ve sent you an email yesterday. Hey, Frau Krawcyk won’t tear your head off if you didn’t do it.

Emma: Ähm, Bodo? Why don’t you go ahead already?

Bodo: No way! We have the same way.

Emma: Sometimes you just want to have some peace and quiet.

Jenny: Yes, exactly.

They grab him by his arms and pull him away.

Bodo: Hey!

Timo rolls up to Luzi.

Luzi: Timo…

Timo: Hey.

Luzi: I wanted to call but…

Timo: Hey, it’s okay. You didn’t have the time and neither did I.

The bell rings.

Luzi: Äh…I have biology now.

Timo: Just like me.

Luzi: Really?

Timo: Sure. The same courses as always.

Luzi: Äh cool. Then we can go together…äh…I… Sorry. Can I help you in any way?

Timo: Oh, you mean… I can still move on my own.

Timo: What’s wrong? Are you coming?

 

 

[Raumzeit Records]

Bea: I know exactly what you are thinking. You are thinking that I just broke up with Michael and am now already out and about with Ben. But it’s not like that.

Ronnie comes up to them.

Miriam: Frank is already expecting you.

 

Ronnie: Because little Bennie wants to cry his eyes out, the order to stay away from the label has been revoked, or what?

Frank: Ronnie!

Ronnie: What do you want?

Ben: To put something straight.

Ronnie: Not interested.

Frank: Ben didn’t know that Stefan came here.

Ben: I kept to our deal. And I just wanted you to know that.

Ronnie: I don’t give a damn.

Frank: That may be. But I give a damn about the shit you pulled again.

 

Bea: I’m only here so the situation between Ben and Ronnie won’t escalate.

Miriam: I get it.

Bea: I kiss Ben in the shower, I break up with Michael…but I’m not with Ben now. And it will never happen. I don’t know why I’m always there when he gets in trouble. But I can’t just leave him hanging. I wouldn’t even be here if Ronnie hadn’t tried to run Ben over.

 

Frank: You were trying to run him over?!?

Ronnie: I have no idea why I used the brakes...

Frank: Ronnie, are you even listening to what you are saying?

Ben: The shit you are in right now is your own fault. But this time you didn’t put just me in danger.

Ronnie: Hey, stop talking to me. As though you didn’t like the fact that Frau Vogel threw herself in front of you, hm?

Ben: If you put her in danger just one more time, close season will be over. …Understood?

 

Bea: I just broke up with Michael. I need time…to come to terms with myself. I want…boredom. No more drama.

Miriam laughs.

Bea: Come on, I’ve really had enough drama.

Ben walks up to them.

Bea: So, how did it go?

Ben: Okay. You coming?

Bea: Bye.

Miriam: Bye.

 

[At Pestalozzi, class room]

Bodo: I’m sorry I was so slow on the uptake earlier.

Timo: What do you mean?

Bodo: When Luzi came by. I should have gotten lost sooner, so the two of you could have talked in peace.

Timo: No problem. I thought it was pretty funny how Jenny and Emma towed you away.

Bodo: And how did it go?

Timo: It went pretty okay.

Frau Krawcyk: Good day, everyone. First of all, I would like to commend the STAG’s performance. Anti-discrimination is a very important topic and I believe that the STAG has given some of you something to think about. And as I can see, Timo Özgül is back. Welcome! I’m sure you will be able to catch up on the lessons and…

Timo: I think, I’m pretty well caught up. Bodo sent me all the homework. I think we were at structure and function of the somatic cells, right?

Frau Krawcyk: Right. Then you will be able to come up to the board and share your knowledge with us.

Timo wheels himself to the front but has to stop and pull Luzi’s bag out of the way.

Luzi: Oh wait

Timo: No big deal.

Frau Krawcyk: Just label the cell. That is the cell body, yes.

Timo can’t reach any higher on the board so Frau Krawcyk takes the chalk from Timo.

Frau Krawcyk: And now just dictate to me.

Timo: That’s the core of the cell.

Frau Krawcyk: Right.

Timo: Also known as nucleus.

 

 

[At Pestalozzi, teachers‘ room]

 

Mrs Jäger:(singing)Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom…

Helena:Mrs Jaeger, these plans are for the tray, and I need copies of these protocols

Mrs Jäger:Yes. I didn’t see you at the appearance of the STAG?

Helena:There are people who have to work.

Mrs Jäger:But wouldn’t it have been an important signal of the school administration to be present at such an event?

Helena:Don’t you rack my brain.

Mrs Jäger:Oh, here is the letter by Mr Özgül’s father and here is the permission from his doctor.

Helena:One moment, Mr. Özgül’s back?

Mrs Jäger:Didn’t he talk to you yet? Oh, he’s so brave, in the wheel chair. But he has the right friends; they will help him to get started again. There is only your signature missing.

Helena:Yes.

Mrs Jäger:Is there a problem?

Helena:I will check Mr. Özgül’s letter.

 

 

[In the car]

Bea: And you think Ronnie has come to his senses now?

Ben: Ha, not really. But I don’t think he's going try to kill us in the next few days. That’s something at least.

Bea: (laughing)

Ben: Thank you for wanting to save my life.

 

*If a song could get me you*

Ben: Nice song.

Flashback of Bea singing.

 

[Raumzeit Records]

Frank: But instead of switching on your brain and thinking about clearing things up, no, you go off and nearly run down Ben. What’s the matter with you?

Ronnie: What’s the matter? Hey, are you seriously asking this? First you try to get me in jail and then you throw me out!

Frank: Ronnie, I want to help. Why don’t you get that?

Ronnie: Because I don’t feel like being bossed around. You’re not my father and I am of full age, okay?

Frank: Okay, you’re an adult and you can make your own decisions. Correct?

Ronnie:Correct.

Frank:Get out of here, Ronnie. Pack up your things and see how you’ll be getting by on your own. I don’t want to see you anymore.

 

Miriam: Sorry for disturbing you, but I just got through to the Magnas. They signed at High Sounds.

Frank: Super. They want to mess me up.

Frank: (to Ronnie) Everything between us has been said.

 

 

[Pestalozzi]

Luzi is crying.

Timo: Hey.

Luzi: I’m so sorry about everything.

Timo: What?

Luzi: I…I didn’t touch base with you. I should have been there when you came back from rehab. I…

Timo: Hey! Do I look like I need help?

Luzi: No. But I could understand if you were mad.

Timo: I blamed you for being unable to walk. I think that is reason enough for you to be mad at me.

Luzi: But we cleared things up already.

Timo: Yes. But some things you’ve said or done can’t be taken back.

Luzi: Of course. I didn’t resent you for that.

Timo: In rehab I’ve learned that you shouldn’t grieve for something in hindsight. Especially not for lost things. Otherwise I would go insane. I can learn how to deal without my legs. But not without you. You and our friendship.

Luzi: Me neither.

 

 

[In the car]

Ben: Okay, thanks for driving me.

Bea: Ben, you were right.

Ben: About what?

Bea: Michael and I, we broke up. I broke up.

Ben: I’m sorry.

Bea: That’s a lie.

Ben: I’m not a fan of that guy, I admit. But a break-up, that sucks. I’m really sorry.

Bea: I didn’t tell you this so you would get your hopes up.

Ben: Yes, of course.

Bea: That changes nothing between us.

Ben: Yes, I get it.

Bea: Okay.

Ben: See you later.

Bea: See you later.

 

 

 

[Pestalozzi]

Timo: Okay, I really imagined the first day to be worse. Thank you.

Bodo: Are you kidding? We are saving the monthly contribution to a gym this way.

Emma&Jenny: (laughing) Yes.

Timo: Okay…then

Emma: That’s...

Jenny: Shall I go in front, or?

Helena:Mr. Özgül!

Timo: Oh, Mrs Schmidt-Heisig. Unfortunately I didn’t make it to you, but tomorrow I will come to you right in the morning.

Helena: How did you want to get down there just now?

Timo: I acquired some slaves.

Helena:Your friends cannot care for you 24 hours a day.

Timo: I didn’t want to hang around here for 24 hours a day, to be honest.

Helena: This school just hasn't been designed for handicapped students..

Timo: Yep, I noticed that.

Helena:If one of your assistants stumbles, it’s not only dangerous for your health…

Bodo: We are careful!

Helena: I do believe that, but it’s a question of insurance.

Jenny:And what does that mean?

Helena:This school is not barrier-free, and therefore…I’m so sorry but you can no longer attend the Pestalozzi school.

 

 

[In front of Pestalozzi]

Bea: Ben.

Ben: Yes?

Bea: You behaved kind of…

Ben: How?

Bea: No idea. I just expected another reaction.

Ben: You thought that I would get my hopes up again and that you would have to explain to me why it cannot work with the two of us?

Bea: No. A bit. My break-up…it had nothing to do with you.

Ben:But it was the right decision.

Bea:But it was my decision. And it only concerns Michael and me.

Ben:In arguing you’re unbeatable.

Bea:Cause I mean what I say.

Ben:I even believe that. But the truth is bigger than the part you want to see.

Bea:Exactly this is the discussion that I wanted to avoid.

Ben:Don’t worry! I know that nothing has changed between us.

Bea:Fine. Then this is resolved.

Ben:And it will remain unchanged! I will love you forever!
