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?

Yes, bringing out a word leader (Fuhrer)

will only make this discussion harder.

But each dictatorship

has a central leader.

We can play a game here. So who

could be a leader here, among us?

You, as a teacher. Of course.

- I?

- Who else?

Well, I was hoping that somebody

else wanted to start first, perhaps.

I'm gonna' do it... I'm

going to be your Leader!

Forget it.

Rainer, you do it

Okay, so we agree.

Who want to support me during the

Project Week as your leading figure?

- Of what use can it be for us?

- Just wait a while.

I'm going to ask in another

way, who is against? Against?

Abstention?

Well.

Rainer Heil!

Such a leading figure deserves respect.

Therefore, I would like to be addressed

as Mr Wenger during that whole time.

Mr Wenger.

Now he is becoming megalomaniac.

Hey, didn't we just voted, right?

What do you want from me, Easterner?

Now, come do it with us.

You are not telling me what to do!

Watch your language, you dork.

Now please calm down. Come, take all

the stuff from your tables. Everything.

And from now on, only one who Is

permitted to speak, will speak.

Yes, Mr Wenger.

Did I give you the permission to talk?

No.

And one more thing, anybody

that speaks must stand up too.

Isn't that a bit too much?

Mona.

Isn't that a bit too

much... ...Mr Wenger?

Do you feel what?

What?

Spontaneous stand up's are

improving the blood circulation.

In the case you have

a low blood pressure.

But if you are standing up than you are not

so much sleepy and you' re better focused.

You can sit down again.

Marco, I know you're

tired from training...

...but sit straight.

Stretch your spine for once,

and put your feet parallel...

...and take a deep breath.

Do you feel the purpose of it?

Yes.

Marco?

Yes, Mr Wenger, I get better air.

Exactly, you get better air.

Then we are going to

this all together now.

Well, all stand up,

please. Stand up together.

What's happening now?

And take a deep breath.

Come on, stand up all of you!

Breathe in...

...and breathe out.

- And what about you?

- Not in the mood?

Then you have to go.

I don't force anyone, and that applies to

everybody. The whole thing here is voluntary.

- Stay cool now, Rainer.

- Mr Wenger.

Kevin, this is easy,...

...either you're with us or you go.

So what?

Let's go guys, this is much to "cranky".

Let's go Sinan. Bombers.

Comrade

Bye-bye-kowski!

You can sit down again.

What is even more

important in a dictatorship?

Discipline, Mr Wenger.

Very good, Tim.

Power through discipline.

Let's play a game of billiards.

Noooooo...

...i've got a better idea.

What's it dude?

I thought you are

here with M-class car?

This is my mother's car, wedding
