Good morning! Aren't you going to have breakfast with us?
I actually wanted to visit two friends of mine with Leonard - Hanna Novak and Isabell Brandner
Is it possible you're trying to play matchmaker with your brother?
Actually, no. But one never knows!
Would you guys have any objection if I joined you? I promised Isabell I would come by.
Actually, we were just about to leave
Good, then I'll hurry, all right?
No problem. We'll wait.
Leonard, please! Cécile can't possibly be allowed to come with us!
== And how am I supposed to explain that to her? == Think of something, please!
Let's all just go there first
Maybe I can talk Cécile into going for a walk or something. Then you'll at least have SOME time with Hanna.
Oh right, that will for sure be super relaxing, when you guys could return at any moment!
Oh, please, I've been looking so forward to seeing Hanna
So...
... we can go. I hope you haven't had to wait too long.
No problem. I still have to go get my purse anyway.
Well...
Everything all right?
Listen, uhm... don't take offense, but would you have anything against my going alone with Carla to see Hanna?
Uh... but why?
It's on account of the whole kidnapping thing. Carla is pretty upset, and...
... I'd just like to talk to her on the drive there
Aha
I just don't want her to keep it all bottled up inside
Yeah, sure, all right. Uhm, yeah, I'll call Isabell and tell her I'm not coming
And you're really not mad?
No, no. Not a problem.
I get it
Yes, the aunties are cuddling with each other
Aunties?
Yes. And I'm sure they want to be alone now, too. Hm?
But you wanted to go for a walk anyhow, right? No? You wanna come along?
Uhm...
== Yes, I was just about to suggest the same thing myself. == Hahaha.
True it is. Here, I'll take her off your hands.
Okay
So...
So... we go walking. Do you understand English yet?
== Well, it seems to be love at first sight. == I can relate to that.
Stop it! NO!!
HELP!! Is there no one here?!
Vanessa, what is this scene?! CUT IT OUT!!
== Tell me what... STOP IT!! == HELP! Haha.
== Stop it... LET ME THROUGH!! == Hahaha, HELP!!
STOP IT! Stop doing this!! STOP!!
LEAVE ME ALONE!!
What is going on here?!
Sshhh, Vanessa, calm down. We're here.
When is it that you have to leave?
Mmm... first thing tomorrow morning. And I'm already looking so forward to it.
Aha
Yes, you should see what a fantastic hotel. It's just opened.
With a wellness spa and massages...
Well, then I'm happy for you. And I wish you lots of fun with the Belgian masseuses.
Why Belgian?
I thought your meeting was in Bruges?
== It IS. == Mhm...?
Except, I'M not going to be there. But only you and I know that.
Even Bernd thinks I'm going to Belgium
But I'm going to spend the weekend with my sweetheart
A new hotel, hardly any guests... I'll be able to really relax and enjoy the time with her, hmmmm!
No...!
Yesss!
== Seriously? == Seriously.
Mr...Mr. Schneider had been looking at me so strangely... and uh...
... then, when I went into the bathroom, he followed me
== This is totally outrageous, SHE was the one who... == PLEASE.
You'll have your say in a moment
Yes?
Uhm... I found that pretty odd, and so I asked if he was looking for somebody
And uh...then he demanded that I...
Sandra Müller came up to me and said she'd heard calls for help coming from the bathroom. So of course I went in.
That is absolutely not true!!
PLEASE!
And you all go to your classrooms
Folks?
Do you want to press charges?
All right, then come to my office... at 10:00 tomorrow
And we'll sort out this matter. Calmly.
You too
Go on home, I'm not going to do anything for the moment
But... but I have a class right now
Under these circumstances, it's better if I take that over for you
Professor Albrecht, this number Vanessa von Beyenbach is pulling here is vicious slander!
Tomorrow! At 10:00, Mr. Schneider.
=== Bitch--! == Come, come on!
== Hehehe. == Hehehehe.
Take a day off for once, Carla, you can't always just work
What can I do? Work has priority.
At least take a little time for yourself in Bruges. It's an enchanting city.
Bruges really is beautiful
== And drive carefully. == Of course.
== Bye. == Bye.
Ms. Jones, do you have a moment for me?
Yes, of course
Uh, if anyone calls - and if it's important - then give them Dr. Gerhart's number
Otherwise put everyone off until Monday. I'm shutting off my cellphone.
You see? That's exactly the reason I've never gotten myself one of those things.
I will be reachable, though. They just need to understand that I want two days of peace and quiet.
== Oh, you should be allowed that. == Yes, I'm treating myself to a bit of luxury. A wellness hotel, brand new.
Oh, good for you! Too bad for me.
Well, I had thought we would go over a few questions regarding your strategy paper
== It...it's no problem to postpone it until you're back. == I could also leave a bit later.
Only, since I haven't had breakfast yet... it would be possible to combine the discussion with a brunch, wouldn't it...?
Well, I can't very well let you starve
What would you think of Papillon? I hear you can get a magnificent breakfast there.
== Wonderful, agreed! == Good, then one brief moment and we'll meet in the lobby, all right?
== Sure. == Good.
Well, I have no idea why Robin should bother to keep studying architecture. I mean, these plans are awesome!
== Coco's plan isn't bad, though, either. == Where is it anyway?
== What? == The plan...?
Oh. No, she just sort of described it to me, how she pictured it.
Ah, just described it... Well, what kind of ideas did she have?
She wants it all to be more kinda 70's-like
And she has the hotter body. Come on, cool the hormones!
Robin is the perfect man here, when it comes to redesigning
Hey, Lars! Everything all right?
No!
Felix told me. Vanessa. Pretty vile what she's trying to do.
Yeah, I had actually thought maybe she would drop the idea ... after Nico and I found that tape
Oh, you know Vanessa! Once she sets her mind to something...
Yeah, but this number really outdoes anything she's ever done before. And all because you dumped her?
Yeah... sure looks that way
But trying to hang an attempted rape on me...
That practically borders on a psychological problem
Are you going to tell the dean that you guys had a fling?
At any rate, it would be more credible than if you keep pretending like nothing ever happened
Thanks for your advice, guys. I'll manage.
I have to go to the university now anyway. I'd be happy to attest to the fact that Vanessa was constantly hitting on you.
That's nice, but... I'll wait until I see how the meeting goes
All right then. We'll see each other soon.
== Good luck. == Thanks, I can use it.
I always knew you had it on the ball! But this number you pulled with Schneider, that was really killer awesome!
STOP, I'm gonna turn red
== Sooo, two Proseccos for the ladies. == Oh.
== Thank you very much. == You're welcome. == Grazie.
To the stupid look on his face - I'd sacrifice a blouse for that again, any day
== Hello, my angel. == Oh.
Hi, Dad. This is Sandra, a friend from the university - my father.
== Nice to meet you! == Same here. Hello.
What's this story about a blouse?
Oh, there's this guy at the university
And uh, he's a total loser, and he's been after me, and I gave him the total brush-off today
Yeah, and the blouse? I mean, what does that have to do with it?
Well yeah, I intentionally bumped him, today, in the cafeteria, with a glass of orange juice in my hand
The juice sloshed onto her blouse
Exactly! And, uh, then naturally, I completely raked him over the coals in front of everybody, and...
... I think he's going to leave me alone from now on
Aha, right. And other than that? Everything good at school?
== Great. == Mhm.
Well good! You guys will excuse me?
Yeah, sure. Ohh!
He's nice, your father
== Hmh! Don't EVEN! == Really.
How come you don't tell him what your evil professor did?
You heard what the dean said about bringing charges and calling in the police
My father would do that in an INSTANT
Well so?
I think it will be enough if Lars gets kicked out of the university. It doesn't have to come to a criminal charge.
Ooohhh. How considerate of you.
To your very big heart, Vanessa!
Yes, I really do have one
Wow! You're truly crazy.
Good day!
What can I do for you?
== We had a reservation for the name of "von Lahnst--" == For NOVAK.
== Hanna Novak == A double room?
== Yes! == Yes!
== If you would please fill this out with your name and signature. == Sure.
What do we want to do first? Turkish bath or a whole body peel?
== Room 411, and have a nice stay. == Thank you.
Thanks!
Or, even better, first we check and see if the bed is big enough
== Ah. == ... and I carry you over the threshold.
Carla, what are people to think?!
Naturally, no prying eyes allowed!
Wellness-Hotel Caracalla?
Hello, Sylvia Jones here, I had a reservation for today
Unfortunately I'll be coming a bit later than I'd planned and I'd like to push back my shiatsu appointment
== What was the name, please? == Jones, Sylvia Jones
And?
She's still in there
Appears to be a pretty thorough briefing
I'm sure overflowing with tears
Professor Albrecht is okay. He... he first has to get a detailed picture. He'll do the same with you.
Felix, this isn't some complaint about getting an unfair grade!
Sexual assault... that'll make them nervous! And I can understand that.
Yes, of course, but you're innocent! So, stay calm, describe what happened, and don't let yourself be intimidated, okay?
Thanks
== Goodbye, Professor Albrecht. == Goodbye.
Mr. Schneider, please
Now YOU'RE up!
I'm aware that serious suspicions hang over me. But it's one person's word against another.
Innocent until proven guilty
The fact that Vanessa von Beyenbach doesn't want to bring charges against you for sexual assault - that did puzzle me
I ended the affair, so why should I accost her in the bathroom like that?
Starting a relationship with a student - that was a mistake. Hold that against me!
== And I'll bear the consequences. But THIS...! == Mr. Schneider, we aren't a criminal court.
Rest assured that the faculty board will discuss it in an objective and fair manner
Beware the profession you choose, Mr. Schneider!
Were you there, Ms. Müller?
Do you want to testify, as a witness, regarding my alleged attack?
[Perverse professors, keep out!]
Mhmmm... massage!
I can hardly wait. Although... no masseuse can outperform you, anyway.
== Ahaha! == Hahaha. Good save.
I'm really looking forward to it, too
Oh, holy shit! What is SHE doing here?!
The mailing! Last week there was an advertising brochure from the hotel in our company mail.
== Watch out! == That's how I first found out about it!
Yes, my sister evidently, too. That stupid shrew, she always has to ruin my fun!
We're leaving!
== Nonsense! == Right now!
NO! Don't blow things out of proportion! We'll just enjoy ourselves in our room.
And outside the room we'll act like good friends, I've gotten used to that by now
Bernd thinks I'm in Bruges. My father, too. Even Sylvia Jones overheard that.
I have no desire for inconvenient questions on Monday!
== And I have no more desire for these panic attacks! == Hanna, please!
== Well it's always the SAME, something always interferes! == Can I help that?!
Yes, you can think of a good excuse for Monday, instead of spoiling our weekend!
Oh, excuse ME! Of course I'll be happy to let you stay here by yourself!
The room and all the wellness stuff is paid for. I wish you a pleasant time!
Carla, don't be so bitchy!!
