[Previously on Hand aufs Herz]

 

Julian:Oh, really? You were seen in front of a bar together. Come on, Ben, you do not suffer from Alzheimer’s. Should I give your memory a little nudge?

(And he does. Julian=Master of the flashbacks. We see what he says)

Julian: What was going on up there at the stairs? Did you want to kiss Miss Vogel?

(We see Christopher’s stunt double fall down the stairs…Hair way too light, beard suddenly gone…)

Ben: You’re right.

Julian: You wanted to kiss Miss Vogel?

Ben:Yes … because I love her.

 

[Intro]

 

[Pestalozzi –Principal’s office]

 

Ben:That’s the way it is. I’m in love with my teacher.

Krawczyk: Having a crush isn’t anything unusual for that age.

Julian: Ms. Krawczyk, with all due respect, but Ben isn’t a dreamy boy stuck in puberty. (Oh, wouldn’t be so sure about that…or at least that’s the last hope I’ve got about why he’s behaving like such a twat in these old eps...) You are having an affair with Bea Vogel.

Ben:No. My love is one-sided - unfortunately.

Michael: Well, does Miss Vogel know about your feelings? (Like I, Krawczyk, Julian, Alexandra, Luzi, Karin, your father, Helena and everyone in the whole wide world who has eyes or who used to turn on their TV at 6pm to Sat1 on weekdays do...)

Ben: Yes, of course. I had hoped she would feel the same. But that was a delusion that I was in denial about. I started following Bea (Follow her now: @NotoriouslyLateBird)…I mean, Miss Vogel everywhere, just to try to make her understand that I am serious, that this is not something crazy I made up.

Michael: You stalked Miss Vogel? (One of us! )

Julian: Tz, this is ridiculous. You of all people, a stalker?

Ben: At the stairs … I blew a fuse. I tried to kiss her. I did not give her any other chance. She did not know how else to defend herself.

Michael: Well, it looks like Miss Vogel can’t be blamed in any way.

Krawczyk: Of course, the suspension is revoked immediately. Ben, thank you so much (that you played this game so well and are letting me keep my favorite. You’re very creative, ever thought of an acting career?) You can go back to class for now.

Julian: What? That was it? What if he is lying?
Krawczyk: Please, Mr. Götting, why would anyone voluntarily out themselves as a stalker? (To get a VIP card to Jnation? ;) )

Ben: Thanks.

(When Ben wants to leave, Mr. Wendtland comes busting in, Alexandra is holding the door open for him.)

Dr. Wendlandt: I am not usually late, but I’m powerless against a 5 kilometer traffic jam ...

Julian: Mr. Wendtland!

Wendtland: What is this about? On the phone you said there were some problems with Ms. Vogel. (Oh, aren’t there always?)

 

[Pestalozzi – Auditorium]

Emmmmmmaaa singing about all the ways she could ’try us’, (as if she had to ‚’try’, there would be no ’trying’ involved if she wanted to get us! She would exhilarate in getting us. Well, she does anyway, every second, every scene.), meaning she’s singing ’If a song could get me you’ or maybe it’s the whole STAG, but Emma, you know? Also I want early Emma hair back in the last 30 or so episodes of this show, hating the ’innocent school girl’ look she has there.

 

Oh, Sophie is missing her entry, just like I did with continuing to translate…*cough* But good thing that you can’t notice that. So let's just continue. – Luzi stops playing piano and gets up.

 

Luzi: Man, this is making no sense this way!

Sophie: That was my … that was my solo.

Emma: Yes, we stop singing, you start, is called a solo. (Hahaha, smart ass! Especially because the roles could be easily reversed between Sophie and Emma here.)

Sophie: Ey, shit, I completely messed that up

Timo: Well, it can happen once in a while.

Luzi: Yes, it can happen once in a while! Man, as long as Miss Vogel isn’t here, we have to prove that we’ve got it and can deal with things by ourselves more than ever. Or else participating at the band festival will never work out.

Sophie: I think it would be better if you just give the solo to somebody else. (Emma, Emma, Emma!) I just can’t handle it right now.

Luzi: Sure, first yes, then no - only if it’s convenient for you at the moment, or what?

Timo: Now, leave her alone. – Hey, do you want to try again? I could also sing with you together - the entry at least. The rest you’ll have to sing alone. Unfortunately, I can’t get up that high.

Sophie: That would be really great.

Timo: Since I’m so nice, will I get a kiss, too?

(If looks were able to kill, Sophie would be nothing but ash on the ground by now. Luzi, I heard there are courses for anger management.)

Timo and Sophie share a tiny kiss

Luzi: Yeah, can we continue then?

 

[Pestalozzi – Principal’s Office]

 

Wendtland: After having listened to this, one really can't accuse Ms. Vogel of anything. Well, that she's pretty and this Ben has fallen for her, that's really not her fault. The question is rather...what will we do with the student? Stalking is no trivial offense. This young man really hasn't a place here anymore. What do you think?

Julian:Oh, we really shouldn't make too much of a deal out of this now. We all once were young and in love.

Wendtland: Well, I have never crowded anyone with my love.

Krawczyk:Well, of course you are right, stalking isn't a trivial offense. On the other hand, Ben has shown remorse, and to fuel this conflict further will certainly not be in Ms. Vogel's interest.

Michael: Furthermore, he will continue his counseling sessions with me.

Wendtland: Okay, fine. You know the student - as long as you believe that you will get his emotions under control... I do not fully understand, though, why I was here today. (to Götting)Next time we will discuss things ahead of time and more concretely, please. Have a nice day.

(Michael and Wendtland leave)

 

[Vogel Home]

Bea is walking a fosse into the ground while brooding about her wrong doings, shaking in fear of what will happen to her, because of her having all the sexy-times with Ben, when the phone rings. Her partner in crime, who covers for all of her tiny mistakes (like murderer for example), Ms. Krawczyk is calling.

 

Bea: Hello? – Ms. Krawczyk! – Yes. – Yes. – is to be revoked immediately? – Hn,n,ts,uh...I’m glad, of course, but... – What did Ben say? – Yes. Thanks for letting me know immediately. – Yes, see you. Bye.

 

[Pestalozzi – Principal’s Office]

 

Julian: Well, everything went well then! The colleague is rehabilitated and Ben Bergmann gets off lightly with a black eye.

(The devious weasel tries to sneak away, but the old and weary becoming lioness – Queen of the lands of Pestalozzi - with the alcohol problem, stops him.)

Krawczyk: And you?

Julian: Excuse me?

Krawczyk: Do you think you’ll get off lightly with a black eye, too?

Julian: I don’t really know what you –

Krawczyk: Why did you call Dr. Wendtland? What was the school’s inspector supposed to do in a matter that I specifically said to be settled within the school?

Julian: Well, I thought it to be useful to have a neutral member listen to this, too. After all, this is about her future.

Krawczyk: Oh, of course. The only thing you were concerned about is the future of your colleague.

Julian: Yes.

Krawczyk: Oh, now stop it, Götting! Don’t take me for a fool! You want my chair! Don’t you think I can see right through you? At least have the decency to fight with an open visor! – The phone call to Dr. Wendtland definitely has overstepped your responsibilities. I’m thinking about whether to be taking disciplinary actions against you! – You can go now. Thank you.

 

Julian leaves without a word, not note-worthily moved.

 

[Hallway in front of the principal’s office]

Alexandra and Michael gossiping about Bea.

 

Alexandra: I wasn’t able to imagine it from the start. I mean, Bea Vogel with a ward? That’s completely against her work ethics. Just because some pupils claim they like each other... I mean, the two of us like each other, too, but...does that immediately mean we have an affair, too. (Uh, yes? lol – Such layered things she’s saying and not saying and meaning and not meaning here. Good writing. Actually all of the conversations about this topic. Quite the (for once not lesbian related) subtext going on all the time.) On the other hand, Mr. Götting will have had his reasons to have called the school inspector!

Michael: Yes, true. Why did he do that?

I don’t know what your problem is with Ms. Vogel, Mr. Götting, but as long as Ms. Krawczyk is headmaster of this school and Ms. Vogel is a colleague of mine, this won’t be a game that you will win easily.

Julian: He and Krawczyk are making me sick. (Well, me too. Writing Krawczyk all the time is quite gruesome, even though I copy and paste it most of the time! // Start to use ‘Gabriele’ in the name portion - if possible. It would make me happier too! Haha. )

Alexandra: At least they prevented Ben Bergmann from being thrown out of school. And without Ben Bergmann and his generous father, things would be looking quite bad for you. You really have a talent to throw yourself onto your own knife

Julian: Wait for it. (Oh, seven seasons of “How I met your Mother” tell me something awesome is about to happen ;) )

Julian is dialing a number on his phone.

Julian: Mr. Bergmann, Götting speaking ... Yes, uh, Mr. Bergmann, before you hear it from someone else, I meant to tell you personally that Ben has gotten himself into some real trouble today... - yeah.

 

[Pestalozzi – Locker Rooms]

Caro offers her best friend some pills, because that’s what best friends do when their best friend is not up to their best. It’s not wrong or self-serving, okay? It’s Caro!

 

Sophie: I told you I do not want that shit.

Caro: If we don’t win the title, it will be your fault.

Sophie takes the pills.

Sophie: And what is this?

Caro: Vitamins and caffeine - everything you need to be really fit again.

Sophie: And what kind of side effects?

Caro: None. Come on, pocket it.

Hooooooottttttttttttteeeee(!) Hotte, Hotte, Hotte! :)

 

Hotte: Hey Caro, come here!

Hotte walks over, as oblivious as always to how much Caro is on the opposite of his hemisphere and likes to be and stay there. (I seriously wonder if there’s some background story that happened between those two when they were...hmm...12(?), which would explain Hotte’s endless hope and feeling of a connection to her, and which also might give yet another inside into Emma’s hate of Caro haha)

Hotte: You won’t believe it. We have a stalker at our school! (As if the ‘Stalk Razzia’ graffiti in the girls-bathrooms didn’t give it away yet.)

He shows her his phone.

Hotte: Ben Bergmann. I knew right away that he’s a psycho. (Haha! – Did they drive together with that expensive car yet? Those are some golden scenes, too.)

 

[Auditorium]

Ben is lying 'Emma-136-style' on top of the stage, but no one is poking his shoulder, and he does seem still alive, too. Caro walks by, talking on her phone and spots him.

 

Caro: I have no idea if there’s a spark of truth in there. But I’ll try to find- You, I’ll call you back later. – (walking to Ben) – Hey, are you lying in wait for Vogel?

Ben: (sighs) Is there a notice in the foyer, yet? (No, that’s where the place and time for the party later is written! – 144 ;) )

Caro shows him her phone as explanation.

Caro: Would you tell me what kind of story this is?

Ben: Apparently you know the story.

Caro: Ben stalks Vogel. You can tell that to the others. There is something going on between you two.

Ben: Quatsch. (Nonsense)

Caro: I know you better than you think. This whole secrecy - I thought you had something going on with a minor. (Ha, almost. But the other way around ;) ) But Vogel!? (Look at her face saying everything we think! haha)

Ben:Does not want me. Unimaginable, right?

Caro: Ah, yes. And you are protecting her. Really romantic.

Ben:If you supposedly know me that well, then you know that I’m not romantic. (Biggest crap to ever leave his mouth. This love-foolish, puberty stuck boy’s heart would erupt in happy tears if his Miss would take him to a candle light dinner and give him a rose. He’d be a puddle on the ground in no time. Poor love-seeking fool. And it’s probably all Stefan’s fault, so you seriously have to wonder if his way to treat his son is that wrong lol ) I’d like to be alone again now.

Caro: I can understand that. After all, it’s really embarrassing - either way.

 

[Pestalozzi – tables in front of the Kiosk]

 

Timo: Am I disturbing you, or may I?

Luzi: You’re disturbing me, but you may anyway. After all, I can read the rest at home, too.

Timo: At home?

Luzi: At the Bergmann’s.

Timo: Have you talked to your mother again?

Luzi: There’s nothing to talk about. I’m living at Ben’s, my mother and I avoid each other, perfect!

Timo: Perfect?

Luzi nods. (Well, the Villa is a quite nice place to stay. Especially from ep 73 on. And so did you, or rather, a totally representative tourist survey say, too - “The Place to Be” (http://u.jimdo.com/www66/o/sfc9ff58d5e42c651/img/i91054d3e72e2f5e0/1331495102/std/image.jpg ) So I can’t really argue Luzi’s point here...)

Timo: You’ve never been in a fight as long as this.

Luzi: She never hit me before either.

Timo: Yes, but I’m sure she’s sorry by now.

Luzi: Then she should say that.

Timo: Well, it’s not like you were completely innocent, right? – Hello, you stole something! She was angry, it’s logical.

Luzi: I’ve disappointed her. Okay.

Timo: Yeah, but...if you know that, then...?

Luzi: Hey, I’m not here to fulfill the expectations of my mother. And I’m also not a little girl who she can get back on the right road with a slap in the face. – I won’t make the first step this time.

 

[Beschenko Home]

Karin has some tea and misses Luzi sitting on the opposite side of the table. The door bell rings.

 

Post-Guy: Good afternoon! Are you Ms. Beschenko? Here’s a registered letter for you.

 

Letter:

Concerning: Shoplifting-proceeding “Boutique Calla”

 

Dear Ms. Beschenko,

Due to the shoplifting by your daughter, Luzi Beschenko, the Boutique Calla demands a contract penalty of 200€ from you.

Following § 242, the shoplifting-proceeding was abandoned.

Please transfer the money to the account noted below.

 

With dear regards,

 

Winfried Kamphausen

 

[Pestalozzi – Auditorium]

Bea walks in, Ben is still lying in wait for her.

 

Ben: Hey.

Bea: I’m actually searching my ‘AG’ (club). Luzi, Timo, and the others...

Ben: They are not here. (Duh? Even Jennabot would have known that one.)

Bea: Then I’ll have to look for them some place else.

Ben: Good luck.

Bea: Thanks.

 

[Pestalozzi – Foyer-stairs]

Caro rummages around her purse.

 

Caro: Ugh, I’ve never forgotten my cell at home! I had it just a moment ago, and then...at the training, and then...and what was it then?

 

[Auditorium – At the most suspenseful conversation ever]

 

Ben: Why? It was the truth. I followed you, harassed you.

Bea: You could have blown the whistle on everything.

Ben: Why, do you think that’s what I want? I’m not as stupid and immature as you think - at least, not always.

Bea: I’m sorry that I said that.

Ben: No hard feelings.

 

[Stairs]

Uh-oh, suspense is actually rising.

 

Caro: Now, don’t mind me - go right ahead, okay?

 

Caro goes back up the stairs, which makes no sense, because I always assumed the auditorium is downstairs - when you come in to the left. But now that I think about it, eventually that’s where the locker rooms are at, when Jenny gets the message from Ronnie about Emma being attacked she is coming from there, but on the other hand the volleyball girls are walking down the stairs in the episode after the bus crash when Lara tells Jenny that it’s cool of her that she lead the training today. But that makes no sense. Which school has their locker rooms/gym upstairs?......ah, #Hahe, stop confusing me in such important matters! - Which way would you take to get to the Auditorium/Locker rooms? Meaning, where do you think they are? Haha

 

[Auditorium]

 

Bea: I have to go. The ‘AG’ is surely waiting already - somewhere.

Ben: Bea. I know that we have no future together. I got it. But I’ll never forget what happened between us. (he takes her hand and lays it on his heart – not romantic my ass!)

 

[Following Caro]

Caro nears the Auditorium and oh my god look at that shot down the hall! There is a wall with a door! People are always walking by the auditorium as if it’s a hallway which you can pass through, but there’s a door!!! What might be behind it? Where are all those people going when they walk by the auditorium alone or in groups? Where are they coming from? I’m suspecting a Room of Requirements here! There’s probably a passage to Hog's Head, uh, I mean Chulos in there! Ms. Krawczyk must have organized that to never run out of vodka! This is how these people survive the daily school activities. This finding is just… scandalous!!

 

Anyway, in other not as shocking matters, Caro walks into the Auditorium and it’s …

 

EMPTY! (Except for her cell) (Love the zoom-in …just like an Alfred Hitchcock film)

 

Oh my god. Nearly died of a heart attack fearing for Ben and Bea. (Not true, was rather enjoying Caro’s golden glitter shirt which always reminds me of Mini – Skins)

 

[Pestalozzi – Jäger Office/Teacher Hallway]

Oh look, Jäger’s office is decorated. Soon it must be Christmas :)

 

Jäger: Ah, Bea!

Bea: Uh, Ms. (all-mighty and all-knowing) Jäger, do you know where my ’AG’ is? I just came from the auditorium, but…

Jäger: They already met this noon. Nobody could know that things with you would go that quickly. But now, let yourself be squeezed first. I’m so happy you will stay, and your students are surely as happy, too, because they wouldn't have quickly found another teacher who is as committed and as enthusiastic and who’s always there for her students and furthermore –

(Bea giggles, looking at Michael who joined them unnoticed by poor Ingrid, who turns around confused)

Jäger: What is it? I’m serious. Really, I’m talking ‘til I’m blue in the face and you’re making fun of me.

Bea: No.

Michael: We would never do that, Ms. Jäger. Never.

Jäger: Oh, you. I’ll be at the copier then…

Michael: She’s right - with everything.

Bea: Stop it, I’ll blush.

Michael: Ah, no worries. Too much praise, compromises the character.

Bea: Only a teacher would say that.

Michael: Now, seriously. I’m glad that everything cleared itself up, even though Götting permanently tried to pin something on you.

Bea: He did not succeed.

Michael: Of course not. An affair with a student? You? Please! That ‘that’ couldn’t possibly be true, I knew it all along. And I want you to know that, too.

 

 

[Pestalozzi – Stairs in the Foyer]

Ben walking down the stairs, girls giggling about him. Look at that cute sling around his arm. I did not even notice that before now! lol Luzi walks down behind him later and Ben finds something smeared onto his locker. Unfortunately it’s no Picasso of two naked girls, nor a version of that with a student and a teacher, but just a line which is as fitting and hilarious as a picture would be, so let’s call the composer of this Goethe, perhaps?

 

Locker Talk: On top of old horses one learns to ride.

 

Luzi: Don’t mind that. They’re only jealous, because you’re not after them.

 

Karin walks into the school. Awkward moments and smiles and looks before Ben leaves.

 

Ben: Much luck. (to Karin)Hello.

Karin: Hello, Ben. – Hello, Luzi. How are you?

Luzi: Fine. Really fine.

Karin: I’m glad about that.

Luzi: And, what about you?

Karin: Okay. Everything is alright. I received a letter today.

(Hm, this conversation could be quite the alternate version of Jemma talk, huh? Let’s beam to 140 for a moment - a day after the kiosk line talk, when Jenny gets the postcards - for the past few lines, and imagine Karin being Jenny and Luzi being Emma ;) (PS: So there's actually a fic brewing now with that idea. (LINK - covered advertising) Keep nagging me about it, so that I will finish that! LOL)

Karin: The boutique is demanding 200€ fine.

Luzi:200€? (A big ass mountain of money when you are young! Just look at her face.)

Karin: I heard they're always doing that. With every theft … first a complaint and then 200€.

Luzi: Great...

Karin: Stealing is no laughing matter, after all.

Luzi: I know. Thank you.

Karin: If you want, I can pay it.

Luzi: No, I will do that.

Karin: Luzi, you do not have 200€.

Luzi: That's my problem. I'll manage.

 

[Pestalozzi – School grounds]

 

Krawczyk: Ben is more reasonable than I thought. Mr. Götting really grilled him. For a moment I thought... - It's better this way.

Bea: What? That Ben is bearing the sole responsibility?

Krawczyk: For the fall down the stairs. Yes. After all, that's what this was about.
(Caro sneaks up behind the bushes, doing the daily soap-activity of eavesdropping)

Krawczyk: We're people, we make mistakes. As long as we learn from those mistakes, nearly everything is forgivable. – Bea, that thing between Ben and you is over

(Caro mouths: What?)

Krawczyk:For good. Can I rely on that?

Bea: Yes, I learn from my mistakes. (And only do them again, in another way or a different place to relearn that they are still mistakes.)

 

Krawczyk:Make it a quiet evening for yourself .

 

Bea: You, too. And thanks for your understanding. See you tomorrow.

 

[Pestalozzi – Teacher's Lounge]

Late evening. I only buy that somebody is still there when it's dark, because it must be winter!

 

Karin: Oh, excuse me. I did not know that someone was still here. I'll come back later.

Michael: No, no, no, no, please you can stay - if you don't mind me staying. I like having people bustling around me when I'm working. When I'm at home I usually turn on the radio, and if that doesn't help I'll go to the cafe. So....please come in.

Karin: I do not have a vacuum cleaner here, but I could move the chairs around.

Michael: Yeah, that might work out. – You know what I think? The two of us should grant ourselves a break.

Karin: Now? I just started.

Michael: That's an excuse at most, but no reason. Hm? (So...once having had sex in that room, is he thinking this is his lucky room now, so that he continues to hit on woman in it?//So from now on this will be called Michael’s Lounge?)

 

[Chulos]

 

Timo: How are things? Does somebody want to have another drink?

Luzi: I still have something.

Timo: Sophie, you? – Hey, Sophie!

Sophie: What?

Timo: I think I should take you home, hm?

Sophie: No, I'm just a bit tired. It will pass in a bit.

Luzi: And tomorrow in the 'ST' (club) you'll be completely exhausted again.

Timo: Stop constantly nagging at her.

Ben: Hey, roomie.

Luzi: Hi!

Ben: How did the conversation with your mother go?

Luzi: Okay.

(Meanwhile Sophie takes some of those 'Vitamins' her bestie gave her)

 

[Pestalozzi – Teacher's Lounge]

 

Karin: She said she'll succeed in doing this on her own. So she will succeed in this on her own.

Michael: Well, 200€, that's a lot of money at that age. (Hey, stop stealing my opinions!// Don’t fool yourself, with the exchange rate that’s pertinent at ANY age!)

Karin: I believe in Luzi. I always have.
Michael: And you can. Luzi is a great girl. No wonder, given her mother.

 

[Chulos]

 

Luzi: If you don't mind, I'd like to stay a few more days.

Ben: As long as you want.

Sophie pushes Timo onto Ben and Luzi. (Look at her happy smile. She surely alreadyhas an inkling that taking pills, will one day land her in the bed of a beautiful brunette. I'm onto you Sophie!)

Luzi: What the heck?

Sophie: Well, I pushed him, so that he'll finally move a bit. We're not here just to stand around, are we? Not with Miss Sophie! (Hahaha! Dinner for One ftw!)

(Caro slithers in to steal Ben. //I call Sorting Hat!)
Caro: Hey, dancing?
Ben: Don't want to.
Caro: Then we'll just play, ‘I'm Bea Vogel’ and you'll run after me. (Caro would do anything, hm? Even the kinky things! )

Ben: I'm sorry, but I do not have that much fantasy after all.

Caro: I'd be cautious if I were you. I know everything about you.

(Ben drags her out to the hallway)

Ben: What do you know?

Caro:The truth.Bea Vogel and Ben Bergmann are lovers. Oh, excuse me, they were.
Ben: You're crazy. (Gotta love how the songs always mirror the scene).

Caro: And she dumped you. The job was more important to her.

Ben: Who is saying such crap?
Caro: Your ex herself. Her conversation with Krawczyk was really insightful. And the others will be interested in it, too.

Ben: You want to blackmail me.

Caro:Good idea! A small letter at the schools inspector...

Ben:Caro, this is no game!

Caro: No, it's not.

Ben: What do you want?

Caro: You don't understand it. I want you! (Yeah, her love for him is as ridiculous as Hotte's love for Caro. The only way to make that triangle more interesting (and ridiculous)? Make Ben like Hotte! ;) )

OH, this was it again for today! =/

 

See you again soon, and keep enjoying the old eps! :)
