The Wave Page #4

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?

Dominic.

Also, I think uniforms

are totally fascistic.

It might be so, but not

necessarily military uniforms.

There are uniforms everywhere...

...in supermarket, at Mc Donald's,

flight-attenders, police-woman...

...even suits are some kind dress code.

Or what about that thing you are wearing

right now, isn't it some kind of uniform?

You do belong to a

certain group, don't you?

Lisa?

Yes, but uniforms have

other purpose as well.

They eliminate social differences.

Yes, they do, but also they

eliminate individuality.

Mona, please stand up.

Lisa, explain it more accurately.

Well, I mean...

...every morning we are

stressed up about what to wear.

That would be completely unnecessary

if we all wear a same uniform.

Karo?

I've heard that, in Hamburg they discuss whether

school uniforms should be introduced again.

Does that make any sense to you?

Sinan?

Yeah, but should make them cheap,

so that everyone can afford them.

Marco, you could tell

us more about this.

Stephon Marbury of New York Knicks, made

the basketball shoe that cost only $14.99.

"Starbury One".

Yes, he was also born in the ghetto

and wanted to put to a stop...

...the fact kids buying overpriced Nike

Air, and let them buy affordable sneakers.

This is not really so good example, how

could he made them so cheap to the market?

Because they are made in

Chinese "slave factories"?

No, he simply did not spend

so much money for advertising.

Nike spends hundreds of

millions for advertising.

Beckham took millions for

that Adidas commercial.

What do you think about that if, during the

Project Week, we introduce some sort of...

...school uniform?

What?

And what?

I don't know, maybe some simple jeans,

a white shirt, one that everybody have.

- But, I don't have white shirt.

- Good, then you just buy one.

Oh come on please, I'm not

going to spend any money on that.

Come on, but it costs next to nothing.

Jens, stand up please.

I have two white shirts at

home. You could have one of them.

That is what I call team spirit, Jens.

Very good.

Then we will do it like that.

- Two times, same shirt.

- Correct.

I just had sold a white one.

Thank you.

- Bye.

- Your receipt?

- No, no, its OK, thank you.

- Okay, bye.

- Hello!

- Hello!

Is that the latest fashion, or what?

Excuse me, but there maybe

some of my stuff as well.

Where do you think you are going?

Why?

You look like you just went

out of the convent school.

But, I like it.

Wednesday

Where is your white shirt?

I'm not in a mood for it.

Why?

White is not for me at all.

Oh really.

Once again, a matter of vanity.

I simply don't want to make no

excuse because of some shitty shirt.

You see, this is exactly

what Mr Wenger taught,...

...that is selfish.

Karo, but we have already agreed

that we all take part in this.

Leave me alone!

White does not suit her.

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

Mona has switched for another course, but

we have a some growth in attendance here.

Find yourself some space and sit.

Now, we are finally full.

But Jules Barman and Frederick

Claussen also wanted to join us.

Unfortunately, full means full.

Dennis?

Considering the fact there are so many of us

right now, we could give some name to the group?

Very well, that also would have been my

next point, do you have any suggestions?

Sinan?

Terror Squad.

Please, I meant seriously.

Dennis?

Visionaries Club.

Marco?

The Wave.

I expected that one form you.

- This is cool, isn't it? Suites fine.

- Right.

Tim?

Tsunami.

Too hard.

Kaschi?

The Base.

The Pact.

The "White Giant"

(German detergent brand)

The Inner Circle.

The Risen.

The Centre.

The Centre, is good.

Anybody else with good idea?

Nobody?

Karo?

The Changers?

The Changers.

Well, we have collected a nice bunch, I

will write down some of the better names.

Visionaries Club...

...Base.

With that we reached

to the last proposal.

The Changers.

Here is the result. From now

on we are called "The Wave".

This is totally good.

Really, now I can pay better attention.

No, really, its good. Maybe

you could make us some logo.

- What?

- Yes. You will be making our logo, OK.

This brings us to the next

stage:
Power by Action.

What are all these ideas good for,

if we just sit down without acting?

I wish you dedicate all of

your creativity to The Wave...

...for the benefit of entire community.

Okay then, I will make

us a profile on My Space.

- Totally!

- I always wanted to do that.

You all can do it together.

Yeah, but I better make

something on my own.

Look, then just make your

own personal homepage.

Indeed, When Sinan makes us

logo, we can also make badges.

My aunt have a machine for that.

We might even do tattoos,

like here on the arm.

Postcards that we could...

And then we do hats.

Hey, what's up, dude?

Look, that buddy of mine is little

bit dry for the stuff lately.

Man, I've heard you can get some stuff.

I will pay for it, dude.

Go to the slums.

What going on back there?

They f*** with Stoltefuss, what else?

For Anarchy lice like

yourself, there's nothing.

What?

What's that cute little shirt on you?

Your mother bought you?

Leave me alone, you f***er!

Hey, relax, will you.

Is there a problem here, or what?

Two more of them.

What?

Are you guys some sort of gang, or what?

If you don't leave Tim alone you

will get some beating, understood?

Everything cool.

You fascist a**holes!

These Anarchy fags torn my shirt.

You can't let these dorks

pick on you so easily.

But you were here.

We can't always be around you.

Hey Tim, I'll give

you my cell number, OK?

If these bastards trouble

you ever again, call me, okay?

Yes.

What have just happened?

I really don't know, she is upset.

She is always like that lately,

she doesn't let me any closer.

Even I have noticed that lately.

Her determination sometimes annoys me.

She make her plans without even

listening what I really want...

Why should I have to

follow her to Spain anyway?

Until I get there in 10 months, she might

already find some Juan or Miguel or whoever.

I'm afraid I'm gonna lose her.

Karo, Dennis is here, where are you?

We are all waiting for you,

here is the total chaos...

...please call us back when

you hear this message, OK?

- Mailbox.

- I said so.

But she knows that we

want do rehearsal today.

It is not such a great loss anyway.

She is probably pissed because we

didn't vote for "Changers" today.

Anyway, I have much better things to do, than

to wait for the princess for the whole day long.

I'm going with you.

Wait a bit.

Hey, Lisa, I will go now,

this became too stupid to me.

If you leave now, we can

completely forget the whole piece!

Do you want that?

I know that we can create

something really great here.

A good piece, which

actually says something.

Not only for amusement, but

something with a real statement.

But without Karo we

can't do anything here.

Yes, you want only her for that role!
