[Previously on Hand aufs Herz]

 

Piet: Hey, I wanted to take my wonderful wife out dancing!

 

They go dancing and Sebastian sees them and is jealous, and Piet notices that and is jealous, too.

 

Piet:I don't want you to go to that joint ever again!

 

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?!?

 

[Chulos]

 

Piet: We were happy, until you came along!

 

Sebastian:Oh, yeah?

 

Piet:Yeah! They shove each other a little

 

Sebastian:Keep your dirty hands off me!

 

Piet hits him.

 

[Intro]

 

Sebastian: Have you lost your mind?

 

Piet: Keep your hands off Miriam! I’m warning you!

 

Sebastian: We already said that. I don't want to mess with your marriage, but if Miriam comes here to talk about her problems, there's little I can do about that.

 

Piet: If my wife and I are having problems, we will solve them at home, reasonably. Are we clear?

 

Sebastian:Oh, I'm sure of that. You are really good at solving problems.

 

Piet: I'm not done with you yet. (He leaves)

 

[At school, in Bea's math class] (Oh God, really? I know how to solve that stuff, but translate it??)

 

Bea:And that's why the function f is called the probability function of a discrete random variable x... When the following characteristics are given... Anybody want to outline that on the board?!

 

She is interrupted by the door, Ben and Caro come in, both of them being “cool”, wearing sunglasses and looking bored.

 

Ben:Oh, you already started without us.

 

Bea is pissed, Ben just throws his bag across half the room to his place. (Seriously? You think your bag couldn't have waited those few seconds and arrived there with you?)

 

Ben: And later you'll tell me again I'm not keeping up.

 

Bea: (closes the door) Don't worry, you can catch up without difficulty. We were just talking about continuous and discrete random variables. Maybe one of you wants to make a contribution?!

 

Caro: No need.

Ben: I'm not really familiar with randomness. I prefer to take matters into my own hands, and not wait for chance or anyone else to make my decisions.

 

Bea:As it happens, this is our subject matter, though. (She gets louder) And anyone who doesn't like that, or who thinks he can come and go as he pleases... Please! (Bea waves her hand at the door, meaning that they are free to GET OUT.)

 

Ben:I like sitting here.

 

Bea: Good. And take off those silly glasses!

 

Ben and Caro look at each other, then do as she says, slightly annoyed.

 

Ben: No problem. (He squints his eyes) Can we at least close the blinds then? (Everyone laughs)

 

Bea: And when everyone's calmed down again, we’ll get on with the lesson! (holding up the chalk)Who wants to have a go?

 

Emma:Well, if no one else... (She gets up)

 

Bea:Please, Emma.

 

Caro:(putting her head on the table) Wake me up when the lesson is over.

 

Ben smirks, Emma calculates and Bea just seems to give up.

 

[Somewhere in the city, Piet's phone rings]

 

Piet:Hello?

 

Miriam:[In their kitchen] You left so fast earlier. I just wanted to ask if you wanted something specific for dinner tonight. I could bring something home from the afternoon shift for you. Hello? Piet, are you still there?

 

Piet:N-no idea, I'm not hungry.

 

Miriam: Yes, but I was talking about tonight. What's going on, why aren't you saying anything?

 

Piet: I hit him.

 

Miriam: What? Who?

 

Piet: Why did you tell him about our problems?

 

Miriam: You fought with him?!?

 

Piet: I asked you a question!

 

Miriam: For God's sake, Piet, it wasn't like that! I just -

 

Piet: What's going on with you two, huh?!

 

Miriam:Nothing's going on! - Wait a second (She looks at her phone. Sebastian is calling)

 

Piet: Miriam!

 

Miriam: My boss is calling okay, wait. (She takes Sebastian's call) Yes?

 

Sebastian: [at Chulos] Your husband was just here.

 

Miriam: I know! Why did you fight with him!?!

 

Sebastian:Hold on! First, he hit me and second….I wanted to ask you that!

 

Miriam: What?

 

Sebastian: What does he know about us?

 

Miriam:What's there to know?

 

Sebastian:For example that you came here in the middle of the night to kiss me?

 

Miriam:No, I did not – uh – hang on for a second, will you? (She switches to Piet)

 

Piet:Yeah?!

 

Miriam:Piet, please can we talk later, I really have to go!

 

Piet: You're going to him now, aren't you?

 

Miriam:What? No! Bullshit! I really have to get to work now. Please let's talk tonight, okay? Ciao! (She hangs up on him and talks to Sebastian again) I have to go now.

 

Sebastian:Miriam!

 

Miriam: I'll call you later! (She hangs up on him too and looks around kind of horrified) Ugh! Shit! Shit, shit, shit... (She starts a new call) Bea, you have to call me back immediately when you get this. Or I'll try again in a few. Or I'll just come over now. See you soon, okay? Ciao. (She grabs her bag and jacket and leaves)

 

[At school, in Götting's office] (Hihihi, never noticed before how his name is almost Göttingen. God, am I easily amused (and distracted). Anyway, on we go)

 

Alexandra is waiting for Julian, who is just coming in.

 

Alexandra:(smilng at him)You don't usually make me wait this long.

 

Julian: First I would like to know what's going on!

 

Alexandra: What do you mean?

 

Julian:This sudden change of heart?!

 

Alexandra: I just missed you. That's all.

 

Julian: I know you way too well for that. You don't want to do any extra duties, which you believe I assigned to you because of jealousy, and to calm me down you’ve come up with this!

 

Alexandra: See? You don't know me that well after all. I came up with this... because you impressed me. (She takes off his jacket and starts to open his belt)I dig men who use their power, and I liked that you were jealous. I know now that you care about me.

 

Julian:I always did.

 

Alexandra:Then show me.

 

(They start making out and taking their clothes off... on the table)

 

[In Bea's classroom. The bell rings and everyone gets up to leave]

 

Emma: (to Ben) So why are you not coming to the AG ST anymore?

 

Ben:(with a glare towards Bea) Well... So why am I not coming to STAG anymore?

 

Emma:We could really use you!

 

Ben:I know. But I'm fed up with wasting my energy on useless projects.

 

Emma leaves (a little offended) and when Ben wants to do the same (being the last)...

 

Bea:Ben? Could I talk to you for a second? What's with this kindergarten behavior? I thought you really understood!

 

Ben:I did understand.

 

Bea:Then why are you acting like this? I know I hurt you and I'm sorry, but -

 

Ben: Why is it that you believe everything's always about you? Grow up, Bea! (he leaves)

 

[Back in Götting's office]

 

Some more making out and groping

 

Julian:I missed this.(Alexandra looks at her watch and suddenly Frau Jäger comes in.)

 

Alexandra:No! (Suddenly looking distressed)

 

Julian:Oh yes!

 

Alexandra:Stop it! Frau Jäger! (Julian only now notices her standing there, watching them)

 

Julian: What's going on?

 

Alexandra: Pig! (she flees)

 

Julian: Alexandra! Uh, Frau Jäger, what are you doing in my office?

 

Ingrid:(Just looking at him disparagingly) Your pants are undone. (She leaves, closing the door behind her (God, I love her :D))

 

Julian: That bitch!

 

[Auditorium]

 

Emma:So far no one has answered any of our advertisements.

 

Timo:I found all of our flyers in the toilets.

 

Sophie: We're still five people short for the performance.

 

Hotte: Man, this sucks! It really doesn't look good for us.

 

Bea:At least we're complete now.

 

Emma:If at least Ben would join us, even if he just plays the piano.

 

Bea: He's the one we can do without the most now. We need singers! And if this doesn't help, we need to advertise with our music then!

 

She starts playing “Keinen Zentimeter” . Afterwards Bea smiles at them. (I love this. I want another soundtrack, with this song. Hotte and Emma harmonizing and stuff... And also Ave Maria! Note from Sones: ME TOO!!!!!)

 

[In Gabriele's office]

 

Gabriele: Are you sure about that?

 

Ingrid:I saw it with my own eyes! Who knows what would have happened if I hadn't had an appointment with those two!

 

Gabriele: Okay then. Did you talk to Frau Lohmann yet, will she press charges?

 

Ingrid:Of course I advised her to do that.

 

Gabriele:And?

Ingrid: She doesn't want to make a big fuss, but she confessed that it hasn't been the first time Herr Götting pursued her. And... what will you do now? You will do something, won't you?! That's sexual assault at work! You can't let him get away with that!

 

Gabriele: Of course not. First I will talk to Herr Götting and let him comment on the accusations.

 

Ingrid: And then?

Gabriele: Then I will decide whether I'll initiate official enquiries about our deputy headmaster.

 

Ingrid:I wouldn't have to think about that for very long.

 

Gabriele: Honestly – me neither.

 

[In front of the school]

 

Ben and Caro are leaving and Hotte is right behind them, followed by Emma. Hotte has some kind of remote control, and he seems to be using it to arm and disarm a car’s security system, causing it's lights to blink and it’s horn to beep again and again.

 

Caro:Why is it beeping over and over?

 

Hotte: (stepping beside the car) 4806 cubic capacity, 500 HP. (He pats the hood)

 

Ben:Surely it has a nice sound, too.

 

Hotte: Yup. It's mine by the way.

 

Emma:(laughing) Funny joke.

 

Hotte:It isn't one! (He opens the car once again via remote) Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. I have connections. (He looks at Caro, checking if she's impressed, but she walks away to talk to Luzi)

 

Caro: Hey! Say... That was quite a smack down this morning, huh?!

 

Luzi: Oh, leave me be!

 

Caro: I'm just worried! Where are you going to sleep now? A hotel is too expensive and you don't have that many friends, either.

 

Luzi: Thanks! I'll get through it.

 

Ben:If you want to, you can stay with me.

 

Caro:No, she surely doesn't! Her mom cleans your house! We don't want this morning’s smack down to become a routine!

 

Ben: As long as my Father is on his business trip, there won't be any cleaning at our house. So?

 

Luzi: Well... One or two nights maybe?!

 

Ben:Sure. No problem!

 

Caro:Fine. So that's settled. (She walks back over to Hotte and his car) So what about this….are you taking me for a ride?!

 

Hotte smiles and lets his car beep (again).

 

[In the hall before the teacher's lounge, Bea and Miriam walk up]

 

Bea: I thought there wasn't anything going on with you and Sebastian?!

 

Miriam: There isn't!

 

Bea: So why did my brother lose it like that then? Not without a reason, I guess?!

 

Miriam: I love Piet!

 

Bea: Yeah, so?

 

Miriam: And he doesn't even know about the kiss yet.

 

Bea: A kiss? Miri!

 

Miriam:It was just one time, and it also was just one kiss!

 

Bea: And why did you kiss him?

 

Miriam:And why did you sleep with Ben?

 

Bea:(looking around to check noone heard that) That is completely different! First, that's over! Second, I'm not married! And third... I'm single! (They're silent for a few seconds while someone walks by) So what are you going to do now?

 

Miriam:No idea, I thought you'd tell me!

 

Bea: Me? I can only tell you this: First, you love Piet….you just said so yourself. Second, Piet loves you, too. Sure, sometimes he's an idiot, but … he wouldn't be this jealous otherwise. And third, just because some man – just like any other man, by the way – pays you more attention at the beginning, that doesn't mean you have to question everything. Piet says he's trying. And if you do that, too, you will find a solution! What do you think?

 

Miriam: Well, I think, you should overcome this “First, second, third” thing, and fast. (Yeah, you probably should, Bea, don't look at her like that) Also, everything you just said is right.

 

[In Hotte's car]

 

Hotte:This thing really gets down. 4806 cubic capacity, 500 HP. Pedal to the metal and you're gently pushed into the cushions while this thing gets to a 100 km/h in 4,2 seconds.

 

Caro: Say, I've been meaning to ask you this whole time...

 

Hotte:Yeah?

 

Caro:Can you drive this ride too, or just talk about it?

 

Hotte tries to start the car but kind of fails. From the backseat, Ben coughs and helps.

 

Ben: Umm... Just put it in park and hit the brake simultaneously. Automatic gearbox.

 

Hotte:Sure. I know that. I've only driven with manual gearboxes so far.

 

Luzi:I didn't know you had a car.

 

[In Gabriele's office]

 

Julian: This is ridiculous.

 

Gabriele: I have no reason to doubt Faru Jäger's testimony.

 

Julian:Testimony? Are we in court now?

 

Gabriele: I just wanted to give you an opportunity to comment on the accusations before I inform the School Board about the incident.

 

Julian:Excuse me?

 

Gabriele:I believe you of all people should understand that I have to report such an incident.

 

Julian:Okay. Frau Lohmann and I, we... um... we... we are having an affair, an amicable affair.

 

Gabriele: I do not believe you can call it amicable if the woman resists.

 

Julian: She set me up! She wants to ruin me!

 

Gabriele:It seems, you're not quite in control of yourself anymore.

 

Julian: Don't tell me about self-control! You, of all people!

 

Gabriele: If I consider your reasoning, Herr Götting... It doesn't look good for you

 

[In the hall, Karin is mopping the floor]

 

Ingrid: (leaving her office) Oh, you just mopped there and I have just trampled all over it...

 

Karin:Never mind, I'll mop it again.

 

Ingrid:Is something wrong, Frau Beschenko?

 

Karin:Everything's fine.

 

Ingrid:For God's sake, what happened?

 

Karin:I hit her.

 

Ingrid: Who? Luzi?

 

Karin:I've never done that before

 

Ingrid: What happened? Luzi is such a good girl.

 

Karin:It's just too much for me. First that swimming pool thing, then she gets caught stealing and the police bring her home...

 

Ingrid: Everyone rebels once. I'm sure it will all be okay again soon.

 

Karin: And what if it won't? (She wipes her tears away) What if she does something worse?

 

[In Hotte's car]

 

Hotte needed to pee, apparently, he's walking back to the car, zipping up his fly. Everyone else is a little annoyed.

 

Hotte: So, off we go.

 

Caro: How many HP does this car have again?

 

Hotte:500.

 

Caro: Weird. You wouldn't notice...

 

Ben:Well, it's no use if you drive 120 tops.

 

Hotte:There is strength in serenity.

 

Caro: You know what? Let Ben drive!

 

Hotte:Nooo, better not. Papa prefers to do that on his own.

 

Ben gets out of the car. Luzi leans forward.

 

Luzi:Can I sit in the front sometime?

 

Caro:I get sick in the back!

 

Ben: (opening the door and motioning for Hotte to get out of the driver's seat) Come on! (Hotte gets out and in the back)

 

Hotte:But woe is you if there are any scratches!

 

Ben: What did you say again? From 0 to 100 in 4,2 seconds? (He starts the car and speed off)

 

[At school, in the hallway by the teacher's lounge]

 

Alexandra happily prances along, only to bump into Julian who was just leaving the teacher's lounge. He grabs her.

 

Julian:What are you planning, do you want me to lose my job?

 

Alexandra:Oh, does someone fear for his future?

 

Julian: Don't go too far!

 

Alexandra: I warned you. Who started this game? Schoolyard supervising, the hiking day, open door day!

 

Gabriele: (leaving her office and seeing the two) Frau Lohmann? Everything alright?

 

Alexandra: Yeah, everything is alright.

 

Gabriele:Good, I'll expect you two in my office in five minutes then. She leaves

 

Alexandra: I'll go then. We'll see each other in a few.

 

Julian: I warn you, Alexandra, don't say anything wrong.

 

Alexandra: Or else? She leaves unimpressed.

 

[At the Vogel house]

 

Piet is sitting at the table, Miriam is just coming back. She sits down with him.

 

Miriam: Listen. I don’t want you to ever hit anyone again because of me. Just listen. I actually did think for a moment I could fall in love with another man. But then I realized what I really want.

 

Piet:What? Sex?

 

Miriam: No! I want us! All I’ve ever wanted was to feel once again that there is more between us than just a well-rehearsed, experienced marriage. I want to feel loved again... by you! And only you!

 

Piet: But I do love you!

 

Miriam:I know. And I finally feel that again after a long time. I've really missed you. (Miri grabs onto Piet and lays her head on his shoulder… she doesn’t notice the look of his face….which is somewhere between pain, anger and confusion!?!?)

 

[In Hotte's car]

 

Ben is really pushing his car now… going really fast.

 

Hotte: Um, Ben? Actually, you're only allowed to drive 100 here. (Caro is delighted) It has a brake, by the way, right next to the gas pedal!

 

We see that the road bends someplace ahead of them, and behind that bend a tractor is approaching.

 

Caro: That is 500 HP! It's quite loud at this speed!

 

Ben flashes back to him and Bea kissing (Yeah, sure, daydreaming like that is a really good idea while driving)

 

Flashback-Bea: We can't.

 

Luzi:Please, slow down! Ben!

 

Caro:(even she is kinda scared now) Why don't you let Hotte drive again, I mean, it is his car.

 

Luzi:Stop the car!

 

Caro:Ben! Ben! (He doesn't react in any way)

 

Hotte: Ben, stop the fucking car! (They are rapidly approaching the tractor) Shit, shit, shit!

 

Flashback-Bea: Do you think it will work like this?

 

Flashback-Ben: You're the woman I wanna be with!

 

Flashback-Bea: I thought you were more mature.

 

Hotte:Shit, shit, BEN! (Ben finally snaps out of it)

 

Luzi:Stop!

 

Hotte: Stop right now! There's a tractor!

 

Luzi: Do you want to kill us?!

 

Caro: We're driving straight into him! Shit!

 

The tractor driver looks horrified, Caro, Luzi and Hotte try to protect their heads …
