The Wave Page #3

Synopsis: High school teacher, Rainer Wegner, may be popular with the students, but he's also unorthodox. He's forced to teach autocracy for the school's project week. He's less than enthusiastic at first, but the response of the students is surprising to say the least. He forces the students to become more invested in the prospect of self rule, and soon the class project has its own power and eerily starts to resemble Germany's past. Can Wegner and his class realize what's happening before the horrors start repeating themselves?

We did not educate you that way.

Would be better if you did.

A little bit of discipline

certainly would not harmed Leon.

Your brother should know

his limits by himself.

Not everybody know them.

Come again?

Kevin, for example, I

had to kick him out today.

And that's why i'm gonna

bump you away, you f***er!

Dude, get a grip. Rainer is cool.

Now, you are going to turn

against me too, you traitor.

I also should have kicked you out.

Furthermore, Rainer did not

kick you out, Mr Wenger did it.

He never liked me....

...because I'm not playing

in his gay water-polo team.

What's actually going on?

We train really hard. I do not

know why we aren't successful.

But we should actually win against

Ernst-Barlach Comprehensive school...

...otherwise it's really gonna be

hard to preserve unity at the class.

Drop by again sometimes.

When are you playing next game?

Let's go Marco, we're going to my room.

We wanted to watch the

game here 'till the end.

Yes, we can do it in my place as well.

And we also have to

prepare for Project Week.

Like what?

Could you come please?

Sorry, Torsten.

OK then, you study

for your Project Week.

Well, my little honey bee.

Should we both have

our little Project Week?

I thought we are doing something else?

Look, what do you think about this?

We will move over there one day.

Gracia is the most

fashionable area in Barcelona.

And the stadium is only

seven stations away.

Is'n it a bit too far away?

Seven stations?

Barcelona.

Is it beautiful, right on

the sea, City of artists.

Don't you think your

family is going to miss you?

They regularly get on my nerves anyway.

Torsten, bees are still super-cool.

Yes, but perhaps they are

just too cool sometimes.

Come on, leave it alone.

Come here.

I'm not in the mood for that.

But don't you fly tomorrow?

There is still some time left.

Yes, but i need to check

my reservation soon.

Then you check it.

Oh come, now stay bit more.

I need to do my training.

Wait, wait, come here.

Man, what kind of sh*t

is this? What is that?

Damn it, you can not do just

whatever you want to do here.

When will you finally figure that out?

Listen, man...

Leave me alone.

Listen, let us play together once, okay?

Everyone thinks you will play sole.

I'll break cover from your

left, and than double-pass, okay?

- Okay?

- Yes.

Out, out, you go in, yes.

Marco Yes, this is beautiful!

Great move, with class!

Well, finally!

Hello, honey, I'm back.

What's wrong with you?

Just a moment, I need to

print out something, OK?

Kiki and Alex are really pain in the ass,

in the long term, real teacher couple.

Are we like them?

Say, what's is this all about?

Only few ideas that I would

like to try out tomorrow.

Then, I'm in too.

Only if you wear a nurse costume.

We shall see.

Do you need an injection?

- I still have this small injection for you.

- Oh, really.

It's loaded.

- Really?

- Yes.

Yeah, lets go then!

Tuesday

- Good morning!

- Good morning, Mr Wenger!

I have a feeling you don't

take me seriously, do you?

No, of course we do.

Everybody stand up please.

Repeat four times:

Now, few relaxation exercises.

For relaxing your muscles.

Particularly, for the legs, please.

Now, all together.

Left, right, left, right...

And what is this for?

Just follow, I wish to

explain something to you.

Yes, very good.

Can you feel it?

As we all slowly merge into one unit!

That is the power of the community!

How long must we do this?

Until we all reach

absolutely same rhythm.

You already know that,

from dancing, Mona.

Left, right, left... Come, one, two...

Such vibrations can be

even bring the bridges down.

- Kaschi, you are completely out of the rhythm.

- Be quiet, okay.

I think we understand this, Mr Wenger.

I do not think so.

This exercise has

completely different purpose.

Which one?

There is a Wieland's Anarchy

class right below us now!

And I would like a plaster falling

of the ceiling on our enemies heads!

Tempo!

Are they crazy?

Power through Discipline

Power through Community.

You might have wondered

why did I dislocated you.

I would like to change

usual group order.

You all have friends and teams with who you

get along better, and that's also important.

But you do not walk

alone through life...

...but together you could be

even more, much more strong.

The new seating arrangement

is also a part of a system...

...do you have any idea which system?

Anybody?

Karo, what do you think why do you sit

with Jens now, not with Marco anymore?

Perhaps because we distract each other.

Really, you mean that?

Wieland teaches his students down

there to be individual fighters...

...and believes that at the end

they will make better achievements.

You know what I mean, nobody should copy

out, but always think about competition.

I think this is only the way to

build a dog-eat-dog society...

...and I am strongly convinced

if we are to help each other...

...then we are much, much stronger.

Does this means, we all

can copy out, or what?

If that means you'll have better

grades at the end, then yes.

That is why I put down together

a student with a bad grade...

...next to one with a

good grade in my class.

I want you to help each other.

That's total nonsense.

- Mona? -- - Yes,

really incredible.

Please stand up.

I can't believe that we are going

to compromise our self in a such way.

All those poor students sitting

in here are now feeling exposed.

Mona, I've never talked

about poor students...

...just about bad grades.

For me, there are no poor students.

For example, you are doing very well in my

class but in math you have bad grade, right?

Well, Lisa has straight A in math.

You could help each other.

This whole thing has one more advantage.

Our ratings as a class

would simply become better...

...at least better than

the Anarchists below us!

I know the whole thing

might sound a bit unusual...

...but why don't we

try to do something new?

Hey Domi, we were quite loud, right?

What is going on at Wieland

Old Bayerish asylant' class?

I thought Anarchy is

something interesting but...

...that guy is not interesting at all.

He is like a sleeping

pill, I tell you....

...if you haven't made that noise

up there, I would fall asleep easily.

What was going on?

Just few relaxation exercises

to wake up, nothing else.

Relaxation exercises?

I sounded to me more like as if

the school is going to collapse.

You disrupt my classes.

It is no wonder at all that my

students are totally outraged.

Can I help you?

Yes, we wanted to ask whether we could

still switch to the Autocracy class.

But as soon as possible.

Last time we stopped at Community topic.

How can you recognise a Community?

By the spirit of Community, Mr Wenger.

Yes, that is true, but try to

give me more visual example.

Lisa?

By the clothes, Mr Wenger.

Exactly, common clothing.

One could also say by uniforms.

Yes, but uniforms are sh*t.
