Episode 198

English

 

(Previously on Hand aufs Herz)

 

Bea: So you really want me to climb into the swimming pool area with you?

Ben: Yeah! But you don’t have the guts.

They climb up a ladder onto a roof.

Ben: Quickquickquickquick!

Bea: Now what?

Ben: For the record, you came here willingly.

Bea nods

Bea: Look, a shooting star.

Ben closes his eyes and silently moves his lips.

(thinking: I feel a tingling. Yes, two girls are definitely having sex in my bed right now)

Ben: The most wonderful wish of my life

They start to kiss.

 

(Intro)

 

 

[At the swimming pool, on the roof]

Ben and Bea are kissing when a security guy shows up making his rounds.

Security guy to the dog: What’s there? Did you find something?

Is someone there?

Now come on. That were the squirrels again. Aphrodite! Come here! (ahaha no! It's the dogs name. Crazy!)

Bea: Aphrodite?

Ben: That was close.

Bea: My heart is beating like crazy. Maybe we should seize the opportunity and…leave.

Ben: We could also use the opportunity and continue where we left off.

Bea: You coming?

 

[Outside the fence again]

Bea: Thanks. I’ve told you. Every time I do something forbidden, there’s trouble.

Ben: Oh come on. We haven’t been bitten or arrested. It was a complete success.

Bea: Who names their watch dog Aphrodite, for god’s sake?!? (Someone totally awesome -talking about Hahe writers- and not boring Bea.)

Ben: Well, she lived up to her name. She did bring us together.

Bea: Ben…It was a nice evening.

Ben: But?

Bea: You know that we can’t do this.

Ben: I think I have blocked that out.

Bea: We cannot be together.

Ben: But you would want us to be just as much as me.

Bea: Come on. I’ll drive you home.

 

 

[The Bergmann’s house, the kitchen]

Emma sits on the counter, eating yoghurt out of a bowl. Jenny is washing grapes at the sink, then she walks over to Emma with them. She dips one grape in the yoghurt and teases Emma with it, leaving yoghurt on Emma’s nose and cheek.


Emma: Now I’m…covered in yoghurt. (Such a clever observation, Emma.)

Jenny: Then I guess we’ll have to go take a shower. (Such a clever comeback, Jenny! Why aren't you in them yet? Oh, um..don't mind me. Gonna shut up now and let you enjoy.)

Emma: We really should clean this up, too.

Emma and Jenny: Nooooo. Later.

Someone clears his throat. (Not me. It's Ben. I'm innocent!)

Ben: Don’t let me disturb you.

Jenny: Um…Didn’t you plan to stay out longer? (*hint hint, wink wink*)

Ben: A little communication problem with Aphrodite.

Jenny: Aphrodite?

Emma: Greek goddess of love.

Jenny: Yes…am I supposed to understand this?

Ben: No, don’t bother.

Ben: It looks like you had a nice evening.

(grins all around)

Jenny: Uh, yes. Yes, we have.

Ben: Yeah. Uh. Then…have fun, you two.

 

[The Vogel apartment]

 

Piet: Hey.

Bea: Hey.

Piet: What are you doing?

Bea: I’m drinking.

Piet: Me too. (Me too, after that last scene!)

Piet: Everything okay with you?

Bea: Sure.

Piet: I don’t know, you look different.

Bea: Different?

Piet: Yes. Happy. You are beaming.

Bea: It’s great that this is seemingly so unusual.

Piet: Are you happy?

Bea: I think so… Yes, I am happy.

Piet: Okay. How come?

Bea: I broke into an open air pool, today.

Piet: You?

Bea: Yes. Why not?

Piet: The question shouldn’t be why not but why.

Bea: Because it was locked, it is forbidden and it is fun.

Piet: Who are you and what have you done to my sister?

Bea: Now come on, is it that unusual?

Piet: Well, I mean, you have a guilty conscience if you are supposed to bring back a free brochure from the hardware store.

Bea: Oh, come on now.

Piet: I’m happy for you. So no matter what you were looking for in this pool, you seem to have found it. I haven’t seen you this happy for weeks. You really should go swimming more often. Well, it seems to do you good. Good evening.

Bea: Night.

 

[Bergmann villa, breakfast table]

Stefan finds a grape.

Stefan: Oh, grape harvest?

Jenny: No, we just got a little hungry last night.

Stefan: Ah yes, that explains everything.

Jenny: But today, we won’t bother you. We are going out to party.

Stefan: That’s nice. I won’t be here on the weekend, either.

Ben: What will you be doing?

Stefan: Short vacation

Ben: Where?

Stefan: Monaco.

Jenny: Alone?

Stefan: Nooo.

(Listen to Emma's laugh and Stefan is totally in love with her, too. Haha Well, who isn't...)

Jenny: And who is the lucky woman?

Stefan: I’m sorry but my well of answers has run dry for today.

Jenny: Aha.

Stefan: What are your plans?

Ben: I don’t have any.

Stefan: Ben, you really should get yourself a girlfriend, again, too. (Saying: Look how cute Emma is. I want more (cute and adorable) women in my house every day. Well done, Jenny. I approve.)

Ben: Yes, I have to go now.

Stefan: I can drop you off at school. I have to talk about something with your principal anyway.

Ben: No, thanks. I’ll take the bicycle.

 

(Note: What the heck is going on under that table? ;) )

 

[Pestalozzi]

Helena: Ms. Vogel, good morning.

Bea: Good morning.

Helena: Didn’t sleep well?

Bea: No. Not long enough. I don’t have time.

Helena: You seem to be enjoying your life as a single.

Bea: Why do you say that?

Helena: You are looking so chipper and cheerful. Internally, I mean. But I am glad that your break-up with Michael doesn’t seem to bother you.

Bea: I’m surviving, thanks. How about you?

Helena: Me?

Bea: Yes, you. You seem to be so bitter. Internally. One could almost think that you were disappointed that Michael didn’t tell you about our break up.

Helena: It wasn’t at all necessary to mention it. Your break-up with Michael had been long overdue.

Bea: What a shame that it still doesn’t do you any good. Good day.

 

[Pestalozzi, auditorium]

Timo: Hey.

Ben: Good morning. I thought you guys might not want to wait for Timo’s wheel chair to grow wings and fly up the stairs.

Luzi: Bodo and I thought of something. We want to expedite the modifications of the school a little.

Caro: For instance, with the flyer: How to make a wheel chair ramp?

Luzi: Haha. You’re hilarious, Caro. The school is being so difficult because the modifications would involve so many requirements.

Bodo: Exactly. And that’s expensive.

Luzi: And that’s why we went by the school office this morning and filed an application.

Jenny: Another day of action. Cool. (Talking about a revolution...*hum*)

Luzi: Yeah…a concert.

Caro: Huh. It’s getting better and better. We're going to dance ourselves a wheel chair ramp.

Emma: Um, Caro, only to remind you…nobody is forcing you to be here. (Reow – catfight!)

Caro: I’m sorry that I’m confronting you with reality but…no one will pay to see you.

Luzi: Well, maybe if you weren’t there… Anyway, we want to do a benefit concert.

Caro: Well, is this going to be another solidarity event?

Bodo: No way. This will be a tough as nails business endeavour. We’ll be taking admission charges.

Ben: Such an extra appeal for money won’t be a bad thing, in any case.

Jenny: Great idea. (*hum* ...like a whisper..)

Luzi: I don’t know how much we could make but we would be showing that we are prepared to help.

Bea: Good morning. Ben? What are you doing here?

Timo: Um, he helped me up the stairs.

Bea: Thank you. Uh..um, I’m late. I’m sorry. Should we start?

Ben: One question.

Bea: Yes?

Ben: I would like to join up again. I mean, with the STAG here.

 

 

[At Helena’s office]

 

Ms Jäger:Ms Schmidt-Heisig. If you have a moment...

Helena: Ms Jäger. Would you please get used to knocking before you burst in here?

Ms Jäger: I am sorry but it´s about a really important request by two students.

Ms Krawcyk: Mr. Wilhelmsenand Luzi Beschenko. Both are members of the Stag.

Helena: Thank you, I know that.

Ms Jäger:Yes, and they had a really great idea. Here take a look.

Helena: An application for a benefit concert?

Ms Jäger: Yes, exactly. They want to raise money with that.

Helena: And I suspect this project is under the patronage of our esteemed colleague Ms. Vogel?

Ms Krawcyk: No, this was the students’ own initiative.

Helena: Alright. And what do they want to collect the money for?

Ms Jäger: For the reconstructions for Timo Özgül.

Ms Krawcyk: The STAG wants to support the school financially. For the disabled facilities.

Helena: The determination of these young people is really impressive.

Ms Karwcyk: Above all, it urges us to support the students.

Ms Jäger: Exactly. Isn’t that great? You’ll have to sign the application form here.

Helena: You wouldn’t believe how much I would like to sign this application. But I’m afraid to send out the wrong signals.

Ms Krawcyk: By supporting the students’ own initiative? What could be wrong with that?

Helena: It could raise false hopes. None of you seem to have any idea of ​​how expensive those modifications are. A benefit concert is just a drop in the bucket.

Ms Jäger: But the STAG has already been really successful.

Ms Krawcyk: Give the students at least a chance.

Helena: I will not object. But don’t tell me later that I didn’t warn you.

 

Helena signs the application form.

 

 

[Auditorium]

 

Luzi: So, what do you think?

Bea: I like the idea. And the sooner the school is wheelchair accessible, the better for Timo.

Bodo: Great, then we just have to decide on a date.

Timo: And what songs to sing.

Jenny: Well, we’ll take something from the current repertoire.

Emma: And Luzi can sing a song by herself.

Caro: Why should she!?

Emma: Because she has the best voice of all of us.

Caro: And the least time to rehearse.

Emma: Why?

Caro: Because she is just starting her solo career?!

Jenny: And that’s why she is singing all the time and that’s why she has the most routine right now.

Ben: Nothing has changed.

Timo: I’m currently dancing little less, but otherwise everything is the same, you're right. And I think it’s great, that you are back with us.

Bea: Wait a second. It’s not that easy. If we really want to give a concert, we need to practice really hard. Ben, doesn’t even know the songs. (Stop struggling Bea. It's pathetic. Just go back to the shower with him already...)

Ben: I would be willing to take a few private lessons with you. (Oh Ben...I love you. UH, no! Not like..uh...have to go back to grapes and yoghurts...)

Bea: Maybe you should ask after the concert again. If you are still interested, then.

Jenny: We could practice with Ben first. Then we’ll see whether he is ready or not.

Timo: Yes and I’ll teach him how to dance. (No, you're not sounding gay Timo. Not at all.)

 

[At Raumzeit Records]

 

Luzi: The whole thing is intended to be a benefit concert and all proceeds go directly to the school.

Frank: For me it’s OK, as long as you are not performing under your name.

Luzi: I won’t.

Frank: And no solo performances.

Luzi: Okay.

Frank: Good, then we should get to work because we really need a song.

Luzi: Ahmm, regarding the song...

Frank: What?

Luzi: I composed something by myself.

Frank: Great. I think that’s great…but... Luzi... at first we need something professional. If you are successful in the market out there, if the people love you, we might try to experiment a little and maybe use a song written by you. Okay?

Luzi: Sure.

Frank: Good.

 

Miriam walks into Frank´s office

 

Miriam: Excuse me, Marco is waiting in the recording studio.

Frank: We are coming.

Miriam: Good.

 

Miriam walks out of Frank´s office

 

Frank: Luzi. The people you are working with now are the best. Okay?

 

 

Luzi is in the recording studio and sings a few songs by different songwriters (Running in the background Pink with Funhouse). -

[Dear translator, you are mean. I was like 'running in the background Pink' o.O Cameo, what? OH Funhouse, the song. Duh. Your stupid Editor]

 

 

[At the Bergmann residence]

 

Bea walks up the stairs.

 

Ben: Hey.

Bea: Hey. Can we talk?

Ben: Sure. Come on up. Nobody is here. We’ll be undisturbed.

Bea: Ben, you can’t do that.

Ben: What can’t I do?

Bea: You can not return to the AG and be a part of it again.

Ben: Why not?

Bea: Because for you it’s not about the AG.

Ben: What is it about then?

Bea: Me.

Ben: That’s right. What? I won’t kiss you in front of the whole gang, I promise.

Bea: I’m glad about that.

Ben: What exactly would bother you about us seeing each other at the rehearsals?

Bea: It just won’t work. You would disturb everything and... I couldn’t concentrate if you were there. If you were back in the AG, then you would play the piano again and... you would sing. (And I would melt...)

Ben: And dance

Bea: You would move...and look at me like you do right now. (And I would faint.)

Ben: Bea, what are you afraid of?

Bea: That I’ll fall in love with you again. And that I would want to kiss you in front of everyone. (And come out on top of the books, I heard that was the thing to do nowadays)

Ben and Bea kiss.

 

 

[Parking lot at Pestalozzi]

 

Stefan: (On the phone) Yeah, that’s fine. We’ll see each other tomorrow.

Helena: Finally It’s the weekend. It’s good to know that you will not suggest to rebuild the whole school because of only one student in a wheel chair. What is it?

Stefan: I'm sorry, we won’t be able to fly to Monaco this weekend.

Helena: Why not?

Stefan: I have to go to Hamburg. One of our major clients is threatening to withdraw his investment.

Helena: And of course you're the only one who can prevent that.

Stefan: Yes. Unfortunately.

Helena: Great. I was really looking forward to this weekend. (But it would have been expensive for Hahe, Helena. Don't be so selfish. In the end the show will get canceled because of financing-issues and ... oh wait, yeah that happened. Sorry, I'm depressed again after 197+198)

Stefan: If you want to, you could come with me.

Helena: And spend the whole day in a hotel room?

Stefan: Then let's do something now. We still have the whole night.

Helena: What am I supposed to do with that?

Stefan: I have an idea. Come on, get into the car.

 

 

[At the Bergmann´s residence]

 

Ben and Bea are making out in the living room.

Bea: We mustn’t do this.

Ben: We mustn’t?

Bea: No.

Ben: Because it is forbidden?

Bea: Because it is really forbidden.

Ben: Worse than breaking into swimming pools?

Bea: Much worse.

 

Bea: Someone could walk in on us.

Ben: Nobody is here. We have the whole weekend.

(Unfair Ben. Jemma is so nice not to walk in on you, plus you get a whole weekend. Take note, okay?)

 

 

[At Raumzeit Records]

 

Luzi is in the recording studio and is singing a song written by herself.

 

[Flashbacktime to Lumo-scenes:]
Timo: I never want to lose you again, because ... *smooch*

 

Frank walks into the recording studio and hears her singing.

 

Frank: Luzi, who wrote that song? Please don’t tell me Marco?

Luzi: No.

Frank: By whom?

Luzi: By me.

 

 

[In front of the Bergmann´s residence]

 

Helena: This is your compensation for a five-star hotel in Monaco?

Stefan: The important thing is the quality of the service.

 

Ben and Bea are making out on the couch in the living room.

 

Helena: The service must really have a lot to offer.

Stefan: There is room service, spa massages. Everything your heart desires.

 

Ben and Bea on the couch.

 

Stefan walks in on Ben and Bea in the living room.

 

 

(Oh well, Ben. So not the whole weekend after all, huh? No I'm not finding joy in your misfortune. Not at all. Ha, yes I do! Karma is a bitch. ;) )
