[Previously on Hand aufs Herz]
Policeman: Your daughter got arrested for shoplifting. There’ll be a formal complaint and she’s been
banned from entering the store.
Luzi: I’m so sorry.
Karin: And I even gave you money so you could buy yourself something nice to wear.
Luzi: With 20 Euros!?!
Karin: Well, we don’t have money to just pour down the drain.
Luzi: I know! But it’s not always easy having to watch every cent.
Karin: So now I’m responsible for your stealing?
Luzi: No, but for us not having any money.
Karin: I’m working from dusk till dawn…
Luzi: It’s not my fault that Papa abandoned you and you can’t find another man.
Karin: I want you to get out of here! Out! I don’t want to see you here anymore!
Intro
[Beschenko apartment]
Luzi: So you want me to go. Alright. Fine.
Luzi leaves the apartmentand Karin starts to cry. (Don’t cry, please. You can be my second mama)
[Vogel home]
Miriam comes home while Piet is primping in front of the mirror.
Piet: Hi.
Miriam: Hi.
Piet: Darling? Miriam.
Miriam: Mhm.
Piet: The dress you bought…is it in the laundry?
Miriam: Why?
Piet: Freshen up and put it on.
Miriam: But I’ve just gotten off work.
Piet: Yes, well, me too.
Miriam: Say, did I miss something? Do you have a new shirt?
Piet: No. But you are going to miss something if you don’t hurry up now.
Miriam: What are you planning?
Piet: Hey, I want to go out dancing with my wonderful wife. You always want to do something with me and…here I am.
(Don’t ask me to describe the moves Piet is making while answering.)
Miriam: Yes, that’s true but…
Piet: Well come on, I’m ready. C’mon.
Miriam: Okay, you’ve convinced me.
She goes off to get ready while Piet is practicing sucking in his gut.
[Chulos]
Ben and Caro are making out on the dance floor when Luzi comes in.
Ben: I’ll be right back.
Caro: What’s up?
Ben: Just hang on.
He goes over to Luzi.
Ben: Hey, how’s it going? Get in more trouble?
Luzi: I moved out.
Ben: That bad, huh?
Luzi: I don’t want to talk about it anymore. You better take care of her. (points to Caro)
Ben: Say, where are you going to sleep tonight? - Okay…Come with me. I know exactly what we need right now.
Which is a party inthe
[Bergmann villa]
Including Hotte who is sitting on the sofa drooling over a dancing Caro.Luzi is sitting next to him.
Hotte: God, I can’t stand it anymore. What did I buy the watch for, anyway?
He jumps up and starts dancing close to Carowith moves designed to draw her attention to his watch.
Hotte: Geez, after ten already.
Caro: Yes, high time for you to go to bed.
Caro starts dancing with someone else and Hotte drops back down on the sofa.
Hotte: Damn, I need a car.
Ben comes up to Luzi.
Ben: Come on, let’s dance. Yeees, we’re going to dance now. Come on. Today is the first day of our lives. Let’s not give a fuck about anything. Dance now!
Which they do until Luzi knocks over a lamp.
Luzi: Oh god. Oh sorry, sorry, sorry.
Ben: Oh, fuck it! Fuck the lamp, fuck the complaint, fuck everything! Whoo!!
And they continue dancing.
[Chulos]
Ohhhhh, Sweet Dreams is playing. Yes! (What? Me, grasping at Jemma-straws? You betcha!)
Sophie: Give me the money right now or you are going to have a problem. Ey, I wouldn’t have even gotten off the couch for that guy! You?
Timo: Hm? Yes.
Sophie: I just said that I thought the scene in the movie where the guy’s supposed to get the money really sucked. Hey, give me a kiss right now or you’re going to have a problem. (They kiss.)Is everything alright?
Timo: I’m just thinking about Luzi. I’ve never seen her like she was today.
Sophie: Maybe she just had a bad day.
Timo: I know Luzi. Something must have happened. Do you maybe know something, or do you have any idea?
Sophie: Me? Why?
Timo: Well, you’ve been spending a lot of time together recently.
Sophie: But we didn’t talk much. (It’s unfortunate that Sophie’s subtexty brilliance pretty much disappeared in later episodes. Maybe because the lesbian volleyball connection got severed…)
Timo: But normally one has to stop her from saying everything that’s running through her mind.
Sophie: Timo…
Timo: Yes, you’re right. Luzi isn’t somebody you have to worry about. What would you like to drink?
Sophie: The same thing as you.
[Pestalozzi, teachers’ lounge]
Frau Jäger comes in and turns off a light without realizing that Alexandra is sitting at the table.
Frau Jäger: Ah! You scared me. I didn’t know that anyone was still here this late.
Alexandra: You are here, too, aren’t you?
Frau Jäger: Well…I still had work to do. (Probably a little tryst with her Gabriele in the principal’s office.)
Alexandra: See? Me too. So if you would please turn the light back on again?
Frau Jäger: Do you still have a lot to do?
Alexandra: Herr Götting is of the opinion that aside from daily recess supervision and the constant substitution classes there surely has to be time left to organize the Open Door Day. Usually you have a whole committee for this…but it seems to have been very important to our Mr. Vice-Principal that I carry it out all on my own.
Frau Jäger: Please remember to lock the door later?
[Chulos]
Miriam: Why don’t we go to the LoveShack? (The love shack is a little old place where we can togetheher. Love shack, babyyyy! Of course nowadays it also reminds me of Emma’s choice of “first time” location)
Piet: We would have to drive across the entire city. No way. Or do you have a problem coming here because of… (he indicates Sebastian with a nod of his head)
Miriam: No, of course not!
Piet: Great. I’ll get us something to drink, then.
He goes over to the barand Sebastian.
Piet: Evening. Give me two…two glasses of Sekt (sparkling wine), please.
Sebastian: Prosecco or champagne? We don’t have any Sekt.
Piet: Prosecco.
Sebastian: Is there a reason to celebrate?
Piet: Yes. 17 years of faithful love.
Sebastian pours something red into one of the glasses.
Piet: What are you doing?
Sebastian: A Spritz. I thought your wife might like it.
Piet: I know exactly what my wife wants. Here. Keep the change.
[Beschenko home]
Karin is pacing in the apartment and she thinks that she’s heard something.
Karin: Luzi?
[Flashback]
Luzi: I’m sick and tired of being your excuse. You’re always claiming that you have to do without everything because of me.
Karin: Don’t talk to me that way!
Luzi: Even without me you wouldn’t be doing anything more than cleaning.
Karin: I want you to get out of here! Out! I don’t want to see you here anymore!
[/Flashback]
Karin makes a call.
Karinon the phone: Luzi, hello. Let’s just talk again. We always find a solution, don’t we? Please…please call me back. I love you.
(I love you, toooooo.)
[Chulos]
Miriam: So? What did you talk about?
Piet: Nothing really. I just wanted to get you a Spritzer (splasher).
Miriam: You mean “Spritz”.
Piet: Yes, right.
Miriam: Great. Thanks, I love them.
Piet: Hey, that’s our song. Let’s dance.
Miriam: Yeah?
They dance. Sebastian is watching them. Piet is watching Sebastian watching them.
[Bergmann villa]
It’s morning but the remnants of last night (food, bottles, guests) are still lying around everywhere.That’s just what Karin needed after yesterday.
Ben: Morning, Karin.
Karin: Morning.
Ben: It got a little late last night. But don’t worry, I’ll add another 50 bucks…
Karin: Ben…
Ben: Not bad. Let’s say 100.
Karin: Not necessary. I would just like to do my job in peace, now.
[Pestalozzi, schoolyard]
Hotte arrives in a black muscle car and almost runs someone over. (You’re not that much better there than Emma, bubba.)
Timo: Hotte? Dude, where did you get the car?
Hotte: Cool ride, isn’t it? Say, do you happen to know whether Caro is here yet?
Timo: No idea, but could you maybe let me in on what this is supposed to be?
Hotte: What could it be? I’m coming to school. I’m going to see if someone is in need of a driver.
Timo: Someone…
And Hotte drives off again.
[Bergmann villa]
Karin is vacuuming while Caro is sitting half-dead on the coachwith an ice-pack on her forehead watching TV.
Karin: Could you be so kind and put your feet up?
Caro: Did you say something? It’s so loud I’m hardly able to hear the TV! Hey!
Karin turns off the TVand vacuum cleaner.
Karin: I asked if you could be so kind and put your feet up!
Luzi comes down the stairs. (In a move similar but of course not quite as brilliant as a tank top wearing Jenny Hartmann sometime in the future.)
Karin: You were here?
Luzi: Morning.
Karin: I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night. Luzi, what’s wrong with you? I almost died of worry. And you’re partying it up all night? Dancing, drinking?!
Luzi: Maybe you shouldn’t have thrown me out! But thanks, I had a great evening! And anyway, what I do isn’t any of your fucking business anymore.
And Mama Beschenko slaps her daughter.(Ayayayay….Luzi, that hurts me more than it does you. You can run off, I have to watch Karin’s desperate face.)
Caro: Whoa, better than watching TV. (Ben gives her an actual slap on the wrist.)What?
[Pestalozzi, auditorium]
Bea: And on the C.
The STAG is doing their la-las.(And Emma, you’re looking very drool worthy, today. Maybe if I sent a picture of you to Ireland, we wouldn’t have to wait so long for Fräulein Hartmann to show up.)
Bea: Emma, you’re not hitting the high D. Open up. And again.
Emma: La la la la la la.
Bea: Much better. Alright, then we can start.
Emma: With three people?
Bea: Does anyone know where the others are?
Emma: Maybe they bailed, like Ben and Co.
Timo: If Hotte manages to park his car sometime, he should be here soon.
Bea: What about Luzi?
Timo: No idea. I’ve been wondering too.
Emma: But we can’t participate in the festival with just three people.
Bea: Even if Luzi and Hotte show up, we’d still not be enough people. Guys, you have to advertise more.
Timo: And how?
Bea: Word of mouth or…a posting on the bulletin board or…
Sophie: A flyer! We’ll make a flyer. That’s how we managed to complete the volleyball team back then.
Bea: Good idea!
Emma: Or we could give a performance and advertise that way.
Bea: Also good.
Timo: But…we still have to rehearse.
Bea: Well then, go. Get the party started.
[STAG perform “Get the party started” by Pink]
(This is sooo great! First, dancing and singing Emma = WIN! Second, no dialogue.And forget the picture. If this video had been put on Youtube, Jenny would have been in Cologne by episode 40.)
[Vogel home]
Piet is putting stuff on his bread.
Lara: Papa?
Piet: Yes?
Lara: That’s mustard and not jelly.
Piet: Yes, okay.
Lara: Did you have fun, yesterday?
Miriam: Yes, sure.
Piet: It was just a late night.
Lara: Well, I need to be off to school.
Piet: Bye.
Miriam: Bye.
Lara: Bye.
Piet: I don’t want you to go to that joint ever again. You know what I mean.
Miriam: Funny. Yesterday you were rather insistent on going there with me.
Piet: That’s when I still thought this matter had been settled.
Miriam: What exactly do you mean by that?
Piet: Say, are you stupid?! Do you think I didn’t notice how you drooled all over each other the whole evening?
Miriam: You’re imagining things. I…have to get ready for work.
Piet takes a bite of his mustard bread and chews it angrily.
[Pestalozzi, schoolyard]
Luzi listens to her voicemail.
Karin: Luzi, hello. Let’s just talk again. We always find a solution, don’t we? Please call me back. I love you.
(Yes, you’ve been a brat.)
[Pestalozzi, couch corner]
Emma is hanging up a postersaying that the Singing and Dancing AG is looking for members for the great gig at the school band festival. Then she tries to hand out flyers.
Emma: Excuse me.
The two girls who got chased off by Jenny in the “memo from Götting” scene (120) hand them back and walk off.
Emma: Are you afraid of dancing or something?
Götting: I like to dance but I’m afraid you’ll have to manage without me.
Emma walks away shaking her head.
Götting: Frau Lohmann, how nice. I’ve heard that you worked very dedicatedly last night on the Open Door Day.
Alexandra: Of course. I’m doing everything that’s been requested of me.
Götting: Everything okay with you?
Alexandra: Could be worse. At night, alone at school…that brings back memories. Remember? How we…just recently in your office…on the table… Will we see each other later? Then we’re going to celebrate our very own private Open Door Day. (Now that should have come with a NC-17 warning, I believe.)
[Chulos]
Sebastian: Ah, it’s you. I’m sorry but we’re still closed.
Piet: I’m not here for the fun of it.
Sebastian: Oh? Then what do you want? Forgotten something yesterday?
Piet: Yes, I forgot something. I forgot to tell you to keep your hands off of my wife!
Sebastian: Excuse me?
Piet: You heard me.
Sebastian: Okay. I think Miriam is old enough to make her own decisions. (High Noon at the Chulos)
Now I will ask you to leave.
Piet: Tsk.
Piet starts to leave.
Sebastian: By the way… if your wife really means that much to you, next time you shouldn’t embarrass her just because you want to mark your territory.
Piet: My wife and I, we were happy… until you came.
Sebastian: Oh really?
It seems to be the episode for hands hitting faces as Piet punches Sebastian.
