The Wave Page #7

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?

I don't even know which one.

I could pretty well imagine myself...

...having some normal job...

...marrying nice woman,

having two-three kids...

...and live in quiet neighbourhood

for the rest of my days.

- Do you think that's stupid?

- No, not at all.

Hey, turn the music down

and come here everybody.

Where is Marco?

Marco!

Yes, come here!

Marco!

What is it?

Good! First of all, it's really

cool that you are all here.

Really great!

And second, as you all know,

we are playing a game against...

..."bulls" from the Ernst

Barlach Comprehensive School.

All of you must come!

It would be really cool if all of

you come tomorrow and support us!

Also, tomorrow at 3 p.m.

at the swimming pool!

You are really great!

You must bring all of your friends,

and better they all wear white shirts!

Everybody!

The enemy should feel

the power of The Wave!

Wave!

Friday

What does this sign means?

Good morning, Mr Wenger.

Say, what is actually wrong with you?

You can not simply

disappear for all night long.

Do you actually know what kind of

consequences I will need to face?

Sh*t!

That is one of these

anarchistic f***ers.

Are you now convinced that

you will be needing protection.

- Hey, you bum, what's up?

- Yeah, everything good.

...we have them all.

Good.

We all know who might be

responsible for this crap.

We don't have any evidence.

Marco, please.

Marco...

...you also want The Wave

to keep going on, right?

Yes, I'm gonna talk to her...

...but after the game, okay?

What are we supposed to

do with all these notes?

Destroy them.

Everything OK?

Have no clue who it was!

I don't even want to know

how did you get up there...

...but one thing is clear,

that was extremely dangerous!

In the past I did some bad sh*t

myself, you can believe me on that.

But in this case,

this joke went too far!

- Is that clear?

- Yes, Mr Wenger.

Sit down!

I want you all to write down about

your experiences with The Wave.

And by the end of the class I

want to have them on my desk!

Now go on, begin!

The time is up.

Later, Mr Wenger.

Oh yes, incidentally, this does not mean that I'm not

going to be pleased seeing some of you during the game.

We will need your support.

Mr Wenger, I know who draw

graffiti on the City Hall.

Tim, have I asked you to give me the

names of those who are responsible?

Actually I don't want

to know who it was...

...because if I knew, I would have to

inform School principle and the police.

Actually this is a collateral damage.

I hope that you had learned over this week that it

is better to work together and not against each other.

You especially, should be aware of

the fact that you can not fight alone.

I would be pleased if you

come to the game today.

Okay?

Okay.

Come on!

Yes, now play forward!

Marco, go forward!

What are you doing?

Yes! Superb!

I can not let you in.

What, why not?

Get yourself a white shirt,

there are still some left outside.

I don't want your shitty Wave shirt!

Everybody has one,

don't yell about it.

You are loosing your mind.

We have the right side blocked.

You guys are really missing

some screws in your heads.

Defence, get closer!

Go, forward now! Forward!

Yes! Very good, very good.

- And, what do you say now?

- Shut you mouth, dude!

No mistakes now!

What do we do now?

I won't stop so easily.

Fall back now a bit,

you are in the lead!

Go, Go! Faster! Go, Faster!

F*** off, man!

You bastard!

Okay?

Stop the Wave!

Stop the Wave!

We knew it!

Go, get all that flayers!

Everybody come here!

Why? What happened?

Are you crazy, or what?

Say, are you out of your mind?

What are you doing?

Sinan, what got into you?

Believe me, I... ...I

don't believe this.

Now you have brought the trouble here!

But I have not told them that they

should punch their opponents in the face!

But of course not, you are not

capable of doing that, right.

What are you trying to say to me?

You are enjoying that they think of you like of some

god at the class, they hang on every word of yours.

What are you saying?

Don't tell me that you don't like the fact that they do hang on

your every word as your students, who do you think who you are?

You completely missed the point!

The students see you as an example and

you manipulate them for your own cause!

There is only your ego trip,

don't you actually realize that?

Do you know what I believe, I

believe you are just damn jealous.

What?

Yes, jealous, because they don't see you as

example, despite your prestigious diplomas.

Yes, now this narrow-minded pedagogy will

show you how the things should be done.

Oh, narrow-minded, THAT is the problem.

Yes, that's what you think of me!

Graduated two times, diplomas in sports

and Political Science, what is it good for?

I did not know that the

problem lies so deep.

Oh you didn't know that the

problem lies so deep, right?

At least I don't have to take antidepressants every

morning because I have f***ing fear of going to school!

Anke... Anke, wait.

- I did not mean that.

- You did.

You said, and you meant it!

For the last few days you

are really such an a**hole.

Just leave me alone!

Karo, wait for me!

What was that earlier...

...have you gone crazy, or what?

You can not do that?

Who do you think you are?

Are you drunk, or what?

You better ask yourself, what is actually going on

with you? What happened today in the swimming pool?

It was full for the first time.

And the brawl?

That happened only

because of this sh*t here!

You really don't

understand anything, do you?

We would have win if you

had not mess up everything.

And that has annoyed you, right?

It would have been my

show for the first time.

Idiot.

- Karo!

- Leave me alone!

...do wait!

Do not touch me.

- Do not touch me!

- Karo.

Go away!

Marco, what are you doing here?

I'm in a deep sh*t.

Come in.

What's happening?

I...

I've hit Karo.

You did what?

I've beaten Karo.

Why?

I do really don't know.

We had an argue because...

This whole sh*t has totally changed me!

I love Karo!

And I've beaten her anyway.

This pseudo-discipline,

this is all Fascist sh*t!

You have to quit.

Rainer.

I have to think about it.

You have to quit.

- Immediately!

- Don't tell me what should I do.

Yes, I... I know, Mrs. Kohlhage.

I know, I know, yes.

I don't want just to make

bad things look better.

Yes, I do accept full responsibility.

But I must talk once

again with my students.

Only thing I am asking for is

to have a little trust in me.

Hey guys, just arrived.

Tomorrow, School hall, 12 o'clock.

It is about the future of The Wave.

Send this only to

members and sympathisers.

Three exclamation marks?

Saturday

Mr Wenger, it's quarter past twelve.

Then lock the doors, I

don't want to be disturbed.

OK.

Is it okay, if I stand in front

of you while you're speaking?

Then I have better overview of the hall.

I don't mind.

If everything is fine with you?

Okay, then lock the entrance.
