RESTROOM

[Lea] What did you really do?

Do you want the jail answer...

or want the therapy answer?

What is the jail answer?

Shit, man, I'm innocent.

[laughs]

Can't you find your own place to hide?

-Is anyone else coming? -Hey, the men's room stinks.

And what do you tell the therapist?

I think about what I did...

how I'm overcome by all of the guilt I feel.

Is that a lie?

A couple of bigshots...

I torched their expensive cars.

-[shop assistant] Anyone still in here? -Shh!

-[Hagen] Fuck. -[shop assistant] We're closing.

[Rahim grunts]

Hello? Did I hear somebody?

We're closing!

[door shuts]

[all exhale with relief]

[exhales with relief]

[muzak plays]

Fuck! What shitty music.

[Rahim] Here.

You'll like this.

[punk music playing through headphones]

[footsteps]

[door slams]

[Tristan] Hey, are you scared?

Only that this is all a dream.

Can you feel that?

Hey.

Playboy.

So, how are you and Zazie?

I...

I'm not so good with all that.

[Rahim] Dude, you have to talk to her more.

Communication. That's what it's all about.

Give her compliments, make jokes...

That works on every girl.

Yeah, but Zazie?

[Rahim] On Zazie, too.

What are you saying?

-Climate change. -Football.

How climate change impacts football.

Sustainable turf and stuff...

MEPPERSFELD OUTLET CENTER

[Lea] That's it!

[laughter]

-[Rahim] This is it! Jackpot! -Pack the warm stuff, like boots, coats...

[Lea] Hurry!

[Rahim] Mine's full.

[Hagen] Let's go.

Shit.

[Rahim] Wait, hey.

Do we have a Plan B to get out? Fuck!

-Here. -[Lea] What is it?

What do you want me to do?

Pick the lock.

[Rahim] Dude, where did you get that?

[Lea] I don't know how.

-Well, then it's time to learn. -Go!

[Lea] A security guard could walk by at any second!

Then you'll have to learn pretty quick.

-You're crazy, you know? -Just do it, Lea.

[Tristan] This one first...

-In here? -Right.

-Okay, now what? Here? -[Tristan] Yeah.

Move this to the right.

Very slowly.

Then move the next pin.

That.

-[Lea] Here? -[Tristan] Yeah, downwards.

And now, slowly pull the other one up.

-Like this? -Yeah.

Nice and easy.

[lock clicks]

[Rahim] Yeah!

-[Zazie] Go, go, go. -[Lea] Come on.

["You'll Find a Way" by Santigold playing]

Tristan!

Hurry up.

-[Hagen] Fuck. -Did you get gas?

[Hagen] Of course.

[Hagen] Fuck!

Do you have a license?

I've been driving tractors since I was seven.

There we go!

[Tristan howls]

[laughter]

-[Tristan] Yeah! -[Hagen] What's that guy doing there?

[guard] Hold it!

[Zazie] Hit him, man!

-[Hagen] What? -[Zazie] Just a little.

Hey! Hey, stop! Stop, man.

He saw our license plate!

[Hagen] Shit. Fuck!

Let me out.

[breathes heavily] Okay.

Stop there!

Stop. Not another step.

Just stay right there.

Listen.

-Play along and nothing will happen. -Are you crazy? I'm pointing a gun at you.

[Tristan] That squirt gun? You think I don't know? That thing shoots tear gas.

[guard] Not another step. Huh?

[Tristan] I was at the G20 summit in Hamburg.

You can get used to everything, even tear gas.

-Stop! -Hey, don't forget...

[Tristan groans]

Shit.

[Tristan] You fucking idiot!

[Hagen] Get away from the window!

I fucking warned you.

[Lea] Hey!

-I didn't want to! I'm sorry! -[Lea] Stop it!

-[Zazie] I'll kill that guy! -[Hagen] No, okay? No, no!

We have to help him.

Listen, he still hasn't seen what you look like. Please...

-Please! -Fuck.

He's right.

[Lea] Hey, it's cool.

It's cool.

Did you know

all those designers

burn those clothes at the end of the year?

What?

The big luxury brands don't want a piece of their crap donated or sold cheaper.

[guard] Yeah.

So, all we're stealing is a bunch of crap.

Yeah?

[Lea] Awesome jacket, right?

Yeah.

[Lea] Here, try it on.

This will look good on you. You have those big broad shoulders.

[Lea] Wow!

-I don't know. This is-- -[Lea] You must have a girlfriend, right?

Here. Right here, there's a women's coat, a few sweaters...

Actually, why don't you just take the whole bag?

[Tristan] Yeah.

Take a picture of him, in case he gets a guilty conscience.

[scoffs] You mean on my salary? No chance.

["Ya Super" by Ilona playing]

[Tristan] Bye!

Did I pass?

[laughs] With flying colors.

-[Lea] Shit. Doesn't that hurt like hell? -[Tristan] Like fucking hell!

Next time, leave the security guard to me, so this doesn't happen again.

[Tristan] Very funny!

[Lea] To everyone out there who wants to know what's wrong with our world:

do you have any idea how hard luxury fashion brands have it today?

To keep increasing their profits,

they have to exploit child laborers in the third world,

skin defenseless animals alive for their fur,

and then, at the end of the season, burn the unsold merchandise

so that their precious brands don't end up on the clearance racks,

where lowly, normal people can afford them.

Hey, guys, are you sure this video can't be traced to us?

Hey, bro, trust me.

I used Tor to upload it.

-[Hagen] The guy with the hammer? -[laughs] No, the program, man!

[Lea] But that's all over now.

In order to help the owners, executives, and stakeholders of these luxury labels

finally sleep easy again,

The Wave has decided to help the fashion industry.

-Why do we need so much attention? -We need to make noise to be heard.

If it gets too loud, someone's bound to call the police.

[sighs] Chill out, man. I doubt anyone has even seen it.

[whispering] Hey, Tristan! Do you see what I'm seeing?

That's our video.

Fuck!

So much for "nobody's seen it."

It's crazy! They're all watching our video!

Hey, guys, not a word to anyone that it was us.

[Lea] What are you afraid of? No one can prove we did this.

Lea, I'm getting out soon.

Unlike you guys, I have a lot to lose.

[Zazie] Yeah, Tristan's right.

[Hagen] Hey, Rahim.

Communication. That's what it's all about.

Make jokes, compliment her...

-Words, words, words. -[Rahim laughs]

Come on.

Hey, Paula.

Hey. Look at Paula.

[Paula] Mr. DJ!

My friends call me Rahim.

Really?

Do you have anything to do with that video I've been seeing around?

If you think it's cool, then, yes.

And if you don't, then I've got no idea what you're talking about.

See you, okay?

-Rahim. -[Rahim] Yeah?

I think it's cool.

[laughter]

["No Applause" by Champyons playing]

EXQUISITE APARTMENTS IN PRIME LOCATION!

[estate agent] Mr. Hadad, look...

I've offered you a choice of three apartments already,

and now I have a fourth for you.

[Rahim's father] We can't afford any of them.

[Rahim's mother] They're too expensive for us.

Look, you should vacate the apartment by the end of the month.

There might be a big risk of accidents...

Accidents? Fuck. Hey, is that a threat?

Your son seems a little temperamental, Mr. Hadad.

-So... -Temperamental?

-Because all Arabs are hot-tempered? -I wasn't making a blanket statement.

-[in Arabic] Go to your room. -I won't.

[in English] I won't be jerked around by them.

It's not safe to live on a construction site.

That was all I meant to say.

Then build somewhere else!

I'd hoped to resolve this in a civilized manner with you, but, sadly...

Here's an eviction notice.

You must leave the apartment in six weeks, or else. So...

Like hell we will! Now piss the fuck off! I said, get the fuck out, asshole!

-Beat it, scumbag! -[in Arabic] I said, go to your room.

You bring me nothing but shame. You embarrass me.

You're behaving exactly like this Griese guy expects us to.

Like all Germans expect us to - stupid, aggressive, and angry.

But why do you let them talk to us like dogs?

Why don't you do something?

Why do you let them humiliate us?

We don't have a choice, son. What are we supposed to do?

[Tristan in English] Stop.

There's a few things we need to decide on.

-Who we are... and what we want. -[Lea] Yeah.

What brought you here?

I want fun, man.

-Chaos! -[Tristan laughs]

Peace, love and rock and roll.

[laughter]

-[Hagen] Hey! -[Rahim] And you?

What do you want, Tristan?

I used to be part of a group that was determined to end capitalism

and globalization,

but would only target the most invincible men they could.

That would be their excuse for failure.

The five of us won't be saving any whales.

We won't be bringing human rights to China,

but what we might do is change things -

things right here, right now.

[Lea] At my own door.

Yeah, exactly.

Let's all say a thing we hate,

and then let's do something about it together.

And when everybody starts doing that, things will start to change.

[Rahim] And at some point, the wave will turn into a huge tsunami!

[laughter]

Not just words anymore... Deeds, not dreams!

[laughs] Whoa!

[laughter]

Shit.

[laughter]

[Tristan] Fuck!

[Rahim] Yo, guys!

We need a symbol, a badass tag, or something.

What pisses me off is advertising.

All these fucking perfect, photo-shopped models,

with their idiotic grins, telling me:

"Zazie,

you're just worthless.

Look in the mirror.

You're too short and your stomach isn't flat enough.

Who you are inside doesn't make a difference."

["The Lives They Wish They Had" by Slaves playing]

WE HAVE THE BEST APPLIANCES!

SEXIST

SEXIST BULLSHIT

Come on!

SEXIST BULLSHIT

[Tristan] Let's go.

[Zazie] Okay.

[Zazie whoops]

-Go, Hagen! -Go, Hagen!

[Tristan] Yeah, man!

[Hagen] I'm the king of the world!

[laughter]

[Hagen] Woohoo!

[laughter]

-[man] Could you guys hurry it up? -Oh, yeah. It's cool.

[Zazie laughing]

-You good? -See you, man.

-Hey. -Hi, Lea. Hi.

-Hello. -Sorry, we're full.

It's not late. What are you saying?

Are you deaf, or what? The club is full.

[Lea] Hey, is there a problem?

[bouncer] It's all good. We're just busy tonight.

-He's a friend of mine. -Okay, but we're still full.

-[man] Let him in. -You're joking.

I'm serious.

-Do you know what bothers me? -[bouncer] What?

What? It's all this small-time racism.

-The looks I get on my bus ride... -[Zazie] Don't touch me.

The stuff I hear every day...

The bouncers are the worst, though.

The club's either full or there's an exclusive event.

Yeah, that's right.

All of Germany is an exclusive event, you mean!

Why don't you go back to where you came from?

What? What the fuck does that mean?

-Lea, go in. -Not without my friends.

[bouncer] Your problem. Get out of here!

I got all that on my phone, you asshole.

Great.

Now, everyone will know you're a fucking racist.

[bouncer] Piss off, you bunch of fucking losers.

Get out of here!

[Hagen] Fuck you!

[Rahim] Shit, man.

[Zazie] Hey, come on. Let's have our own party!

["Ubersleep" by Fuck Art & Let's Dance playing]

More, more! Let me hear you!

[cheering]

Mr. DJ!

-Do you dance, too? -What?

-Do you dance, man? -It depends on who's asking.

[Paula] Come on!

[shouting and cheering]

-[man] Nickel bag for 40. -[Tristan] Okay.

-Spread the word. -Yeah. See you.

[Lea] Where did you get that?

How else are we supposed to raise money? Come on!

This is really good weed.

100 percent pure, no chemicals.

You will always be a gangster.

[shouting and cheering]

[laughter]

[Björn] Lea?

What's wrong? You should be inside.

I...

Are you okay?

Come on. Let's go in. Everyone's there.

Hey, I heard you're making quite a bit.

All those rich kids... Huge allowances.

Are you ever gonna tell me what you need all that money for?

-You'll read it in the newspaper. -You're so old-school, dude.

No one reads newspapers anymore.

[yelps in surprise]

Hey.

Just promise not to do anything stupid.

I don't wanna see you in here again.

Hey.

Hey.

[Zazie] But it's all about technique, right?

-[Rahim] Yo, man. What's up? -[Hagen] Hi.

-[Zazie] Hey. -[Tristan] Hey. Fresh.

[Zazie chattering]

[Zazie] And she just grabs him. Bam! He's on the ground.

[Hagen] A really big dude, yeah?

[Zazie] I'll be a fighting machine like that.

[Hagen] You are already.

Speaking of waves...

who wants something wet?

-[Zazie] Me. -[Hagen] Here. Rahim?

No, I'm hungover from yesterday.

-[Hagen] Tristan? -No, thanks. Not allowed.

[Hagen] Right...

Well, then...

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Paula asked me if she could join us.

-And what did you say? -Nothing yet.

I mean,

everyone at school knows who made the video anyway.

Yeah, and people keep asking me if I know anyone in the Wave.

That's fine with me. Why shouldn't they join us?

Come on. You aren't serious?

The more of us there are, the more we can achieve.

[Hagen] That... makes sense.

It wouldn't be like that.

Every group self-destructs when it gets too big.

Everybody starts arguing about the distribution of power, positions...

Come on! It's not political.

We're saying 20 or 30 people instead of 5.

But with just five, there's trust.

With each thing we do, we get better and more powerful.

Why risk that for some other people?

Yeah, we might end up with a traitor on our hands.

You're both really paranoid.

Lea, I know exactly how--

-Meppersfeld isn't Hamburg. -You're not hearing me, are you?

I heard.

You have your opinion and I have my own.

Then your opinion is wrong.

-Oh, yeah? -[Tristan] Yeah.

And who gets to say what's right and wrong for the Wave? Just you?

Hey, I'm the only one who has some experience around here.

You mean you're the only one who got caught.

When have you put yourself at risk for what you believe in, huh?

Playing some tennis tournament?

I'm going.

[Tristan] Yeah.

[Hagen] Lea.

Ah, fuck!

-[Tristan] Shit. -[Zazie] Just let her go.

Tristan!

Lea, wait for me.

Wait, wait!

I didn't mean it.

I'm sorry.

Do you think I'm part of the Wave

so somebody can tell me again what I can and can't do?

Call me when you'll be able to take me seriously.

She's right, man.

The last thing we need is a fucking Führer.

[Tristan exhales loudly]

[Paula] Come on!

You've got it!

[chattering]

[Paula] Rahim!

Are you leaving?

Yo, guys...

I think I'll hang out here a little longer.

You don't know how to play basketball.

[Paula] We can teach him, right?

Besides...

I'm naturally talented.

-Alright! -See you later.

Natural talent.

[Rahim] See you, guys.

-See you. -See you.

Where are you off to?

To get some food.

[Paula] Come on. Defense, defense!

Hey, I'm always a little hungry.

[newsreader] ...weather conditions continue to deteriorate.

No sign of rain...

Meanwhile, the price of basic foodstuffs

has increased tenfold over the last three years.

You'd be the first boy that Zazie's brought home with her.

[newsreader] Even experts are concerned about water,

especially in...

Are you the reason she cut her beautiful hair?

Hey, Grandpa. It was my idea.

But I like her new hairstyle.

[newsreader continues speaking]

Do you drink beer?

[newsreader] Rescue operations in the western part...

I drink beer.

[newsreader] ...with hope that food supplies and water can be provided.

The Indonesian foreign ministry has cause to fully clarify

the whereabouts of the German citizens.

Early in the evening on Tuesday,

the senior travel group from Munich was detained by the police.

Could have been worse, then.

Finally.

Where were you?

[Lea] Did we have plans?

Not us. Our parents did.

Oh. Fuck! The dinner.

I'm not thrilled about it.

I'm not cool enough for you now.

Oh, come on, Sophie.

Well, it would be a shame to miss out on all the drama.

What drama?

[Sophie] She's here.

Great.

[Lea's mother] Hi, Sophie!

I'm so glad you're here. I haven't seen you in a while.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Would it be too much to say, "Hi, Björn"?

Your parents invited me...

to get you back into training again.

I'll save myself the trouble.

Oh, come on, Lea! What's going on?

Talk to me.

Yes?

Let's save what we had going.

I'm here, Lea,

to give you a chance to come back.

Let's just stop.

-Hello. -[Lea's father] Hello.

Right on time.

[Björn] Are you out of your mind?

We were people who liked the idea of each other. That's all.

Lea!

-Can you explain that to me? -Just leave me alone.

-[man] Lea, hi. -[Lea] Hi.

Lea, I deserve to know.

We're just fooling ourselves!

I could brag about you to Sophie,

and you could brag about me at your parties.

That's all there was to it, and you know it.

So, you're breaking up with me?

I'm sorry.

[Lea's father] Come on, you two. Make up with each other and get some food.

Okay?

Who do you think you are?

[door shuts]

[guard] Lights out!

[phone ringing]

Hey.

I'm surprised you called.

When did you get a phone?

I found it.

Are you still talking to me?

I haven't hung up yet, have I?

What are you up to?

I went for a swim.

Before that, Björn and I broke up.

Oh.

You wanna talk about it?

Do you think it was stupid of me?

No.

So, not much to say...

Show me your room, Lea.

I'm curious.

Is it just like you thought?

Yeah.

A bit pinker.

[Lea] Ha-ha!

What do you see when you look out the window?

Just barbed wire and a wall. You?

There's our garden.

And our pool.

Hey, you shouldn't be ashamed.

That's like my house growing up.

-Yeah, right. -No, no, really, I swear.

My father's an ambassador.

I was driven to school with bodyguards every day.

You must have been more spoiled than I am.

Where did you live?

Beirut, Tokyo,

Kinshasa, Cape Town...

And you move to Hamburg. How come?

I ran away.

[Lea] What about your parents?

Lea, you know what? There's something I have to tell you.

I lied to you. I'm not in jail because I... torched a few cars.

What was it?

I beat up a guy.

I wanted to take out the CEO of a weapons manufacturer.

These scumbags sell arms to dictators, to death squads...

But...

Yeah, but...

I put the wrong guy in the hospital.

This guy looked exactly like him.

The point is...

it would be exactly the same if I'd got the right person.

It wouldn't change a thing.

Why are you telling me this?

Well, because the Wave is a really, really good thing we have.

I'm just scared that we'll screw it up.

[Lea] By letting other people join in?

That's what I mean.

Well, some people can be trusted, you know.

[Tristan] In here, you're better off not trusting anyone.

Then at least you can trust me.

You don't give up, huh?

You don't either.

[Lea yawns]

Are you beat from swimming?

[Lea yawns] A little, yeah.

Should I hang up?

No.

-[Hagen] Woo-hoo! -[Rahim] Yeah.

Come on!

-[Zazie] Last one there is a loser! -[Hagen] What?

Hey, hey!

[Rahim] Fuck, man. She's fast.

[grunting]

Hey.

Hey.

-[Tristan] How are you? -Good.

You look cute when you're asleep.

Oh! What? You weren't in your cell last night?

[Hagen] Did we miss something?

Are we in the way? Shall we disappear for you?

[Hagen mimics wind blowing]

-[Rahim laughs] -Is Paula coming today?

I see...

Change the subject...

I get it.

-[Tristan] Hey, look, buddy... -[Rahim] Okay, bro. I'll stop.

Chill out.

-Paula's coming. Some others, too. -Yeah? How many?

It's a surprise.

I don't see anyone yet.

They're coming.

I'm cold.

Let's go inside, Hagen.

[Rahim laughs]

[Rahim] Come on, dude.

Yo, what's the deal with Lea, man?

[Tristan] We FaceTimed last night.

I call Paula, but nothing happens!

Hey, hey, hey! People are coming!

They came!

[laughing and shouting]

[Lea] Hey!

[Rahim whoops]

[boy] Hi!

[Lea] Head over that way.

[chattering]

[chattering continues]

It's really good to see you.

["Give it my All" by Mike G & Gooding playing]

[boy] Hey, people. Where's the beer?

-Hey! Up here! -Oh, cool.

[Zazie] Catch.

[boy] Oh, fuck.

Okay. One more.

Catch.

Thank you.

Each of us should ask what we could be doing right here,

in our own backyard.

[laughter]

Okay.

How about you guys? What do you all want?

Can I buy a bag, man?

Yeah.

[boy 2] Cool, man. Thanks.

[Zazie] Hey!

Why are you here?

I...

[Zazie] What?

I thought I'd like to join you, maybe.

Hey!

Want a beer?

Yeah, sure.

Admit it.

You know it feels good having a group.

I'd rather be alone with you.

Hmm. So you'd betray the revolution for me, then?

I don't see a revolution.

These idiots just want to party.

I think they can do more.

Hey, what's this about?

Just wait.

[cheering]

[upbeat pop music playing]

[cheering]

[Lea] Hello!

Everyone, quiet down.

[music stops playing]

-What's going on? -[Lea] Listen up for a second, please.

It's really great that you all came.

-[boy] Boring! -[girl] Louder!

-Hi... I'm Lea. -[boy] Who the hell cares?

[Rahim whistles]

[Rahim] Be quiet!

All I was ever interested in before

were my grades, my clothes, how many likes my last selfie had got.

-[boy] You're not even that pretty! -[girl] Hey, let her speak.

None of that interests me anymore,

because our world is going down the drain, and we must take action now!

[cheering]

-[Rahim] Yeah! -Yes.

-Maybe we're naive... or just crazy. -[boy] No way!

[Lea] Maybe resistance is pointless and it's already too late.

[commotion]

-[Lea] But do you know what? -[boy] What?

Somehow, I feel so free, in the perfect place right now,

right now, right here, in this moment with you!

[explosion of cheers]

Now, let's go fight

for what we all believe in together.

Let's call this fellowship a wave.

-[cheering] -A gigantic wave!

-[Rahim] Who are we? -[all] The Wave.

Say it again!

[all] The Wave!

We are the Wave!

-We are the Wave! -We are the Wave!

[cheering]

And what are we doing next?

You know the slaughterhouse outside town?

[murmured assent]

[Lea] You can hear the animals from outside

screaming for their lives.

We all know that slaughterhouse doesn't follow animal protection laws.

It's been in the papers countless times, and nobody here does anything!

-[girl] What the hell? -[shouting]

[shouts] No more damn slaughterhouse!

[crowd shouting]

[shouting continues]

[chants] Slaughterhouse! Slaughterhouse!

[all chant] Slaughterhouse! Slaughterhouse!

Hey, hey, wait a minute!

[chanting continues]

[dramatic music playing]

What's wrong? Are you coming?

This won't work, Lea. Things will go wrong.

What? All of this was your idea.

-Now what? -[Tristan] Hey...

Please...

Please stop this thing.

I don't understand you, Tristan.

[sighs] Dammit.

[shouting]

[Lea] Hey, guys! Wait a second!

[shouting]

Wait, guys!

[boy] Come on! Let's tear it down!

Before we rush the place, somebody should go ahead and...

How about we think of the slogans we can spray on the walls?

"Meat is murder" is good.

Or, "So long as slaughterhouses keep going, there will be war!"

Are you giving us homework now?

Take these spray cans and think about what you want to put on the walls, okay?

[shouting continues]

[Lea] Stop! Hey! Wait a minute!

[banging]

[shouting]

Hey!

Hey, guys! No, don't!

This isn't what we're supposed to be doing!

Rahim! You have to help me!

[Rahim] Lea, look at what's happening. Don't be boring!

[Zazie whoops]

[screams] Who are we?

The Wave!

[Zazie whoops]

[Lea] Wait! What are you doing?

Guys, hold on a second. This is all wrong!

[shouting continues]
