Episode 36

Translated by Lied (Girls, I could be a bit rusty at this so…let’s see how this will go, hm?)

[Previously on Hand aufs Herz]

 

[Bergmann Villa]

 

Bea: Ben, stop it, it’s over.

Ben: Then you wouldn’t have shown up.

Bea: I came because you’re important to the others.....because I want you to be in the AG, and because I want to finally be able to deal with you normally.

Ben: One doesn’t eat sushi with their student by candlelight.

 

Ben shows her the picture he took of them in bed in the first episode, just in case the many flashbacks let you forget about it.

 

Ben: Do you remember this? We were still happy then.

Bea: Ben!

Ben: Why are you running away from your feelings? Finally start listening to your heart, or I’ll post this online.

 

[Intro]

 

Bea: You want to blackmail me? (Weeird….her boyfriends do tend to do that!)

Ben: What do you mean ‘want’? You’re not giving me any other choice, damn it!

Bea: Did you even think about what you’re saying? If I’m not together with you, then you’re going to make this public.

(Bea turns in disbelief and leaves)

Ben: BEA!

(He turns around and tries that trick - pulling away the tablecloth and the glasses and plates keep standing on the table, not moving an inch…unfortunately, that trick does not work out and everything topples to the floor *crash*)

Ben: Shit!

 

[Beschenko Home]

 

Karin: Why aren’t you wearing any of your new clothes anymore?

Luzi: While cooking?

Karin: No, in general. I could immediately think of thousand of reasons to wear such clothes.

Luzi: Definitely not at school.

Karin: But perhaps during music club?

Luzi: I’ve got other problems there right now. The band-festival will be soon, and of all things Ben has now dropped out.

Karin: Well, I definitely think it’s really nice of Sophie to give you her clothes. They look like new. You’re getting along quite well now, aren’t you?

Luzi: Yeah,...Why not?

Karin: Because of Timo?

Luzi: God, Mama...!?!

Karin: Sorry.

(the phone rings and Karin moves to pick it up)

Karin: Bergmann! I thought he was going on a business trip.

(she answers)

Karin: Mr. Bergmann? – In the folder for the presentation. In the desk. Puh, I’d have to look.  Now? Yes, no problem. Talk to you later. – I’ll have to leave again in a bit, he forgot something. Where did we leave off?

Luzi: At cooking.

Karin: If you say so.

Luzi: Man, Mama, it’s good as it is. Do you think my friendship with Timo would have lasted this long if there was something going on between us? I do not want anything from Timo.

Karin (laughs her all-knowing motherly laugh): See you later.

 

(It’s so refreshing to watch them together. Perfect Mother-Daughter relationship. The cooking together, the talking with each other, the everything! (the thieving and avoiding aside, though that's great, too lol)

 

[Saal 1]

Michael: Would you be so kind as to tell me exactly what we are doing here now?

Sebastian: You’ll see soon enough.

Michael: Okay, let me guess. It’s about a woman, it’s about THE woman, hm? (Is Sebastian related to Hotte?)

Sebastian: Miriam, yes. But she’s not here tonight.

Michael: Wait a second, you’re dragging me here, because you want to flirt with Miriam, who isn’t even here!

Sebastian: Well, a man has to show his feelings, too, for a change.

Michael: No, he must not. Because she is Bea’s sister-in-law, and what does that tell us? (kind of related, thus: tardy, suspected murderer, naive, cheater, heart-breaker, student-lover, inconsistent...—on the other side... – idealistic, lovely, good-looking, ambitious, creative...)  m-a-r-r-i-e-d. (Oh, that!)

Sebastian: And what are you doing? Forever pining for women who don’t even look at you.

Michael: If, by that, you mean Bea....

Sebastian: Yes, I do.

Michael: That has fizzled.

Sebastian: Wow, look, my brother is finally growing up. Do you having something new in sight yet?

Michael: We’ll see.

Sebastian: We’ll see? Have you mutated to a bore now?

(Alexandra walks in, looking stunning. That hair, that dress, that smile, that....- uhhh)

Sebastian: There. I’ve spotted the absolute dream-woman for you. (And for me, and Bea...and every person in this world! – I note I’ve chosen the right episode to translate! haha) She’s standing at the entrance – three o’clock.

Michael: Of course...

Sebastian: Oh come on, you really have to put in a bit of effort here, or this will never work.

(Sebastian is craning his neck with a stupid smile on his face while trying to catch more glimpses of Alexandra – thumbs up! Completely realistic haha)

Michael: I – I’ll do this my own way, if at all. Okay?

Sebastian: With your way you’ll stay single forever.

Michael: Well...

(Alexandra walks up... *need to concentrate*)

Alexandra: Is this place still free? – Excuse me, I’m searching for someone who will sweeten my evening.

(Michael turns around)

Michael: You have found that man.

(Sebastian is flabbergasted, thinking his man just scored without having to do a thing, so he flees the scene so as to not cock-block him. Bodo, Hotte, Timo...all those other men should learn a lesson from this. Simply do not be there at these special moments! And if you are, then be discreet and take pictures of it…. So that you can hang them up on your pinboard, like Luzi.)

Sebastian: You will tell me that trick.

(after Sebastian leaves)

Michael: Frau Lohmann.

 

[Bergmann Villa]

(Ben sits in his own created chaos. Literally and figuratively. He likes to do that, remember the destroyed class room that caused the surviving-trip, that caused ‘Emma with a big heavy back-pack’ V.1? – Anyway, Karin walks in on him, because of the folder she is meant to pick up.)

 

Karin: I can see the flowers did not have the intended effect.

(Ben shakes his head and Karin goes to work, picking the roses up)

Ben: You don’t have to do this alone. (LOL, but she has to do it. Just not alone? You caused this mess alone!) I’m not any better than my father, am I?

Karin: With you, one can at least talk.

Ben: More or less...

Karin: One can, and that’s the most important thing.

 

[Vogel House]

(PLAID!)

Miriam: He can’t do that. Your whole future will depend on one stupid picture now?

Bea: He’s hurt.

Miriam: Well, nice, so he’ll be hurt. If everyone who is love-sick behaved like that...

Bea: Most of all, I don’t know what he expects. One can’t force a relationship!

Miriam: How old is he again?

Bea: I know...I should have known.

Miriam: Well, at least you know how things stand now...or stood.

Bea: But he mustn’t think that I will forgive him for this.

Miriam: See, very good, and from now on you’ll just look straight ahead into the future. (If I were Ami, I’d say something about Helena now, waiting on the horizon.... ;) )

Bea: Can you say something now, like...other mothers have pretty sons, too?

Miriam: I think that this picture can cost you more than your job.

Bea: Thanks for your sympathy.

Miriam: Sorry, but that’s how it is.

Bea: Do you really think he will publish the picture?

 

[Saal 1]

Moving on to lighter and hotter scenes... - not really, talking about Michael.

 

Also, nice, fitting music is playing: Feist – One Evening.

 

There’s really too much awesome happening here, looks, cocktails, blue dress, shot glasses...let’s just say the cat’s on the prowl and Michael, the little silly fawn, has no chance. (And yup, that call was probably Bob, right?)

 

Alexandra is casually looking at her watch, like just by chance, noticing:

Alexandra: Oh god, did you notice the time? (Eventually I should mention that they are ‘siezing’ each other still, addressing each other formally, I guess that stopped after this episode?)

Michael: What? Why? First period doesn’t start until....in a few hours...wow.

Alexandra: Unfortunately, I have to go. My bed is calling.

Michael: Well, then...Mrs. Lohmann, that was...surprisingly enjoyable with...you.

Alexandra: I would love to stand around here, but...I need my beauty sleep.

(And there she goes...cold! haha – I forgot if there is any greater scheme in this...should have watched the previous episodes again before doing this ;) )

 

Skyclad – Swords of the thousand Men

 

[Pestalozzi – Hallway]

 

Ben: Ms. Vogel?

(Bea keeps walking, for once)

Ben: Now wait, please.

Bea: What for?

Ben: We have to talk.

Bea:  Leave me alone, you’re only making it worse.

(Bea leaves and Ben look sad..aww…..the person you’re trying to blackmail doesn’t want to talk to you anymore? – Meanwhile Miss Awesome, uh...Jäger comes up the stairs with some really nice flowers)

 

[Pestalozzi – Student Lounge]

 

Timo: I bet you he’s ‘that small’ now. (Look at him doing the ‘this small’ gesture...hach Jenny, where are you now? Skipping school? Hungover at home? Having fun in a park or the like while skipping school?)

Luzi: But definitely ….it’s an icicle now.

Timo: Yeah!

(Sophie joins them and gives Timo a kiss)

Timo: Have you already heard of Hotte’s show in chemistry?

Sophie: No, I’m not in the intensive course, after all. (So Luzi, Timo, Hotte (and probably Emma) have chemistry as their advanced course. I’m really curious about their courses, after all it seems like they change the classes they are in together up from time to time lol)

Timo: That complete moron stuffed dry ice in his pants, so that it would vaporize, but the stuff froze to his pants! I mean, do you get it? Frozen CO2?   He trashed around like an idiot!

Luzi: Ey, it looked like a bad dance move! I was down on the ground (laughing).

Timo: Hopefully Phillip was quick enough and captured the whole thing on video. (So, Phillip, in my mind that’s the dude with the a bit long shaggy hair...I think he’s one of the guys who carried Timo down the stairs with his wheelchair haha)

Luzi: Phillip?

Timo: Yes, true. I don’t think I know anyone slower than him. (Oh, look in the background. There’s the basketball-dude who jostles against Jenny when Jemma is ‘this’ close (imagine Jenny’s finger gesture about Ronnie’s penis) to coming out and who gave them a wink later after they did. Nice to see them all around all the time :) )

Sophie: No, I don’t even know Phillip.

Timo: Hm, be glad.

Luzi: And do you know what he told him that wound him up more?

Timo: Not that stupid wimpy saying from the 5th grade, right?

Luzi: Exactly that one.

Timo: Oh man, those two will never change.

Sophie: What is the saying?

Timo: You won’t find it funny anyway.

Luzi: Also it’s really dumb to try and reenact now.

Timo: Yes, that’s true. But- but the best was when Hotte tried to act all serious again.

Luzi: As if he was just casually going to the restrooms, but then ran after all.

Sophie: I’ll just go get myself a coffee then...

(Sophie leaves and must pass Caro and her gang who watched the whole thing.)

Caro: Look out, there’s a fifth wheel rolling by... (Caarooo <3 Hilarious, haha. Also our second super couple, Lena and Yvonne, are looking smashing - like always.)

 

[Pestalozzi – Classroom – Math]

(So I note continuity here. Emma and Ben are already sharing this class.)

 

Bea: To determine the extreme value ‘f’, we’ll regard the derivation of the function first. Because what is the derivation telling us? – It’s showing us the slope is ‘x’ and lets us determine the function of the tangent. (haha, I love teachers who answer their own questions because of the lack of interest of the class lol!) If the slope equals zero, we know...

(Ben is being an ass and holds his phone with the picture of them in bed up to Bea in the middle of the class...)

Bea: Then we know that we’re dealing with an extreme point. Which extreme point are we dealing with here?

(Hermione...uuuhhh...Emma Müller is putting her hand up, cause she knooowwwwws, little sweet geek.)

Bea: This is a minimal turning point. (BEA! We wanted Emma to answer this! Bad teacher, bad bad teacher! Is it that bad that you’re being blackmailed and harassed in class that you can not concentrate and see that you’re best and shyest student can answer this? God... – Look at how disappointed she looks now! Great. This means it will take 10episodes more until Emma will become Emma 2.0, because of your discouragement, Bea!)

Bea: After all when we are talking about a low point in real life, then we’re also talking about a boundary, after which nothing else will follow. Not now, and not in the future. – I mean, if ‘f’ is unlimited against plus/minus. – Does anyone still have questions. (Um, yup, me. But let’s not start on that. Because I gave up on math in the 11th grade, too much trouble for too little outcome, and mixing that with life lessons and metaphors...you have me for a spin Bea!)

(OOOOHH! Emma, too! Emma, too! But I suspect her to have something more constructive to share here than me. Look at her arm shooting up. God, I love Hermione- Emma!)

Emma: But with a function of the third-order, there can be more than one extreme point. (We conclude, #Hahe is a function of the third-order. Thank you, Emma, for enlightening us!)

Bea: That’s true, yes. I only meant to show you that this...is the absolute lowest point.

 

[Pestalozzi – Secretary]

Awww, Frau Jäger! Tell us your birthday and you’re whole secretary area will burst of flowers! Oh, um, Ms. Jäger is writing her own birthday card and putting it in the flowers she brought earlier:


Happy Birthday, dear Ingrid!

Yours Bettina

 

Bea comes, searching for Ms. Krawzyck.

Bea: Ingrid, good that you’re here.

Ms. Jäger: Well, isn’t this such a beautiful bouquet!?!

Bea: Yeah, very nice. Can you tell me where Ms. Krawzyck is? I really have to talk to her, it’s urgent.

Ms. Jäger: No, I’m sorry.

Bea: Hm, where could she be?

Michael: Uh, Ms. Jäger…do you still have the list of my students who are absent due to illness?

Frau Jäger: Uh, I’ll look.

Michael: Hey, the way you slouch around here, I should put you on that list, too. – No, seriously, you don’t look well…. Is everything alright?

Bea: Uh, yes, it’s okay.

Michael: If there’s anything I can do for you, I’ll do everything – except substitution. (I get it, ‘everything’. Alexandra has made you quite...how to put it...eager, hm?)

Bea: No, I’m fine. I’m just a little bit stressed out. Thanks anyway.

(Bea leaves, while Alexandra sneaks up)

Michael: Uh, ... sometimes you don’t see something even though it’s laying right in front of you.

Alexandra: Or standing next to you?

Ms. Jäger: Here…. Have you already marveled over my flowers?

Michael: They are gorgeous, thanks for the list.

 

(Aw, Frau Jäger. Really liking how the different storypoints are getting interwoven here and on the side managing to enrich a minor character. :) )

 

[Pestalozzi – Teacher hallway]

Götting spots Michael and Alexandra talking. (Oh, was this about Alexandra being ‘independent’ from him?)

 

Alexandra: Yes, sure. But there’s something going around in 7th grade...

Michael: There’s something going around, huh? 

Julian: May I talk to Frau Lohmann for a moment?

Michael: Of course you may, she’s all yours.

Alexandra: Wait a second! This is still very much my decision!

(Michael leaves after another laugh)

Julian: You seem to be getting along great.

Alexandra: You’re really suffering.

Julian: We were supposed to go out for dinner together yesterday.

Alexandra: Ah, something came up. (OH, so it was Julian calling, not Bob. Got it!)

Julian: That must have been very important – if it made you turn off your phone.

Alexandra: I just wanted to be undisturbed when with Michael.

Julian: Heisig, is Michael now…

Alexandra: Is it possible that you are making a scene over me now?

Julian: You’re just disappointing me. Where is the woman with the visions and the clear goals who knows where she wants to go? She’s throwing herself at a substitute teacher.

Alexandra: As long as I have fun.

Julian: You should think about what your priorities are now, and not waste your time with a looser.

Alexandra: Exactly! (POW! Go Alex, go Alex!)

Miss Jäger: Would you like a piece of...

Julian: Go bother someone else with that.

Miss Jäger: ...birthday cake. (Oh god, I’m gonna cry. Miss Jäääger :*-(  )

 

[Pestalozzi – Headmaster office]

 

Bea: Miss Krawzyck, I’m now getting the feeling that Ben Bergmann isn’t handling our breakup very well. (No, you don’t say. What gives you that idea? Haha)

Miss Krawzyck: Well, fortunately that’s not your problem.

Bea: Unfortunately, it is. Let’s assume he will make this public….as kind of a revenge against me.

Miss Krawzyck: Then it will be a rumor. Defamation. Nothing more. He wouldn’t be the first student to spread such lies about teachers.

Bea: What will happen if people believe him?

Miss Krawzyck: I know what is scaring you, Ben is Stefan Bergmann’s son, but as long as they don’t have anything on you, not even Stefan Bergmann will be able to do anything.

Bea: The fact is, we had sex.

Miss Krawzyck: Thank god, nobody can prove that, otherwise you wouldn’t ever be able to work as a teacher again. Now, don’t you worry! Whatever happens, I’ll have your back.

[Pestalozzi – Hallway]

Bea walks down the hall, when the phones of ALL students ring ( and I’ve watched too much Pretty Little Liars, since my mind immediately went to A and I got that weird tingling in my spine just like Bea Haha)

Bea spots Ben, who grins and leaves and then walks up to our beloved Emma, since she’s someone to trust.

Bea: Emma! Everyone but me seems to be getting a funny mail….

Emma: Well, it isn’t really funny.

Bea: Then it’s a fake picture again?

Emma: This is no fake.

Bea: May I see it then?

Emma: Okay, but you’re not allowed to freak out.

The video shows Hotte ‘dancing around’ because of the ice in his pants and running away.

Hotte: ...in my pants...

Emma: This has nothing to do with harassing you or the STAG, it was a chemistry-accident. – He stuffed dry ice in there.

Bea: I see.

 

[Pestalozzi – Teachers’ room]

 

Miss Krawzyck: Of course we have to consider if we are maxing out the resources from the public funds, and if, in our case, the co-payment for the school books is worth it. Basically, we would have to purchase complete sets for our classes. (School books...in my experience such a waste of money. And discussing them? A complete waste of time! Apparently Alexandra thinks so, too.) But since we are collecting book-money, we can pass on any discount to parents or students. So you can see that we have a major problem, how can we achieve this in our middle classes? Compared to last year, we are already 5000€ over….I can imagine that...

(FINALLY her voice is fading away, these lines gave me a headache, let’s concentrate on that pen now...and...every...thing...else...*falls from chair*)

Katy Perry – I’m still Breathing (I’m not...I’m just....)


Miss Krawzyck: Mr. Heisig! (YOU DAMN! Whyyyy? Who cares about the books? Burn them, throw them out the window, stack them on the Coming Out Monument to make it higher, so that all of Cologne will be able to see Jemma, and they’ll need a hiking outfit in 176, I don’t care, but pleeaassse why must you interrupt???)

Michael: Yes?

Miss Krawzyck: I’d like to hear your opinion to this, too.

Michael: (I agree with the translator! If you’d excuse me now. Director? Put the music back on. Everything set? Kim? Action!) Miss Krawzyck, this is about school books, so you should already know enough about my opinion concerning them.

 

[Pestalozzi – Bistro Tables]

Oh dear, somebody give that woman a hug already! She’s suffering and  I’m suffering right along!


Frau Jäger is standing at a table, birthday cake, champagne, everything ready for a good party....with herself *weeps*


OH, but there is our Mother Theresa, our woman for everything, especially for people in distress – Karin walks in to clean the place.


Miss Jäger: Oh, Miss Beschenko, come here.

Karin: I actually should finish my rounds.

Miss Jäger: Ach, Papperlapapp. (Or also quatsch or humbug, but Papperlapapp is much more fitting! ;) ) Now first, you will have a bit of this wonderful cake! I baked it myself this morning. (Make me cry more, will you? This episode is a constant up and down for me here. Turning me on, leaving me cold, making me cry, throwing in some cute Emma to squee, turning me on, leaving me cold, making me cry. Damn show. ;D )

Karin: Mmmm.

Miss Jäger: And Prossecco! (Imagine the sound of Jenny clicking her tongue in Saal 1)

Karin: But we can’t do that.

Miss Jäger: Of course we can. We’ll clink glasses with each other now. Weeeell....

(Ms. Krawzyck is slowly walking up to them)

Miss Jäger: To us!

Karin: To the cake-baker. (Just watch out for Caro, I get the feeling she’s lurking around, waiting to strike.) Nastrovje!

Miss Jäger: Nastrovje!

Miss Krawzyck: Is it okay to join the party? (she pulls something out of her back and...it’s a present!!!! *cries uncontrollably now* Thank god. JäKra pulled through at last!) Happy Birthday!

Miss Jäger: You remembered!

Miss Krawzyck: Of course, you are my best! (meaning best friend/best staff member)

(Oh god, and now Jäger is as good as crying...this episode! lol)

Karin: Why didn’t you say anything, Ms. Jäger? Happy Birthday!

Miss Jäger: Thank you!

Karin: Do you want a cup of Prossecco, too?

(Uh-Oh, the alcohol!)

Miss Krawzyck: Thanks, but I’ll have a nice hot coffee along with the cake. From the vending-machine. Be right back.

Miss Jäger: Okay.

Karin: What might be in there? (meaning the present)

Miss Jäger: The most beautiful present she could give me. (Okay, now this is getting over the top, don’t ruin it and stop now! – oh good, they do.)

 

[Pestalozzi – teacher’s room]

The last teachers are leaving the room in the middle of the night after that heavy conference...sure.

 

Teacher: Have a nice evening!

Michael: Good bye.

(Alexandra is still there, too. Whooop!)

Alexandra: Now…we’re all alone.

Michael: Looks like it.

Alexandra: Doesn’t that give you certain ideas? (Yes? - Oh, also she's still saying ‘sie’ to him.)

Michael: Frau Lohmann? What kind of ideas should that give me, hm?

Alexandra: The ones you’ve already been thinking about this whole time.

Michael: I should let you know that the whole time I might have been thinking about this stack of papers.

Alexandra: Come on, this ‘coolness’ is only a tit-for-tat response. ('Because during the meeting I cheated you out of the fishstand' - What the fuck? I think I’m mishearing this..hahaha///Yep I did. 'Fisch-stand' and 'Verstand', almost the same word o.O? Actually she’s saying->) Because I drove you out of your mind during the meeting. (Makes much more sense haha, but the other thing was funny enough, so I’ll leave it in.)

Michael: Yes, I uh...I have to admit that you have confused me a bit with your shenanigans.

Alexandra: With what?

Michael: Yeah, the sucking of the pen...you got a completely blue tongue. (hahhaha, imagine this! But no, not from the point I was looking from, that did not happen. And I’m sure you all know that, too - we watch closely ;) )

Alexandra: Stop that.

Michael: Does something like this make you angry?

Alexandra: Absolutely, and I’m warning you, don’t provoke me any more or I won’t be able to guarantee anything.

(They kiss, and make out and probably sex and...wait a second. Did I miss that the sentence ‘I won’t be able to guarantee anything’ is a national secret code for ‘take me now’?)

 

[Bergmann Villa]

The doorbell rings, and I bet you it’s Bea. – aaaand, oh it is.

 

Ben: Are you finally ready to talk to me now? (How can he be such an ass??? I never remembered him to be such an ass!)

Bea: Stop these games. I find what you’re doing here embarrassing.

Ben: I tried to talk to you the whole day. But you –

Bea: I did not want to. So what? One doesn’t always get what one wants, especially not if one tries to force it.

Ben: That’s clear to me, too.

Bea: I don’t believe that. Just the idea that you were going to blackmail me… the picture – it could have been a sweet memory, but now? Now it only reminds me of the worst mistake I’ve ever made. – Come on, make it public. Then everything will be over.

 

(The point of no return... – but there might be a point of return after all, you’ll find out in the next ep…. even though we already know that yes, there are way too many points of return for them haha – Function of the third order, you know? Thanks, Emma.)
