""Schlunz" " The Series" From an idea of Harry Voss" "Direction  Script" " Rainer Hackstock" "Episode 8:" "The trace of the fire arrow Direction  Script" " Rainer Hackstock" "Episode 8:" "THE TRACE OF THE FIRE ARROW" "And the Blue Knight lifted his golden sword for the last time, to greet it, the dragon of dragons." "But it swung itself back up into the air." "Ready for new, exciting adventures." "Really a terrific story." "Super." "You really deserve the first prize." "The first prize for what?" "For the story-telling contest." " The one where the whole school joined in?" " Yes." " Wow." " Let's go boating." "You're right." "So..." ""Take care of yourselves, and be back for dinner."" "If you take out that screw, everything will work again." " No, that one." " Do you think so?" "Our two writers." " What do you want?" " To invite you." "Have you gone crazy?" "Well, we're your friends." "And friends visit each other from time to time." "Come on, come along." "And what if we don't want to?" "We couldn't care less what you want." "So, the reason for your visit is easily explained." "You will tell us a story." "A story?" "You have good ears, kid." "What kind of story?" "Whatever." "A really good one." "We have to write an essay." "It must be exciting and funny at the same time." "Yes, but what kind?" "Adventure, Knights, Indians, a Fairy-Tale?" "Indians!" "That would be cool." "A western with cowboys and Indians." "And we have to appear in it." " As the two villains." " Right!" "And if the story is good, then we can leave." "Sure." "But if it's not, then you will keep telling us stories until we're satisfied." "Ok, then." "I'll start." "Once upon a time there was a small town." "Far out in the wild, wild West." "Hold it, you bank robbers." "Or I'll shoot." "Mrs. Tree, we're not bank robbers." "You think that I'm joking, right?" "Do you see that bottle over there?" "Too bad." "Nevertheless, surrender." "Immediately." "Mrs. Tree, we're not bank robbers." "Problems, Rose?" "No, Hank, everything is all right." "By the way, the bandits you're looking for, went that way." "Oh, really?" "Thank you." "There you go." "Can I get you...?" "Please." "Hi Pops, hi Mum." " Hello." " Hello, Luke." " Hello, Nelly." "How was school?" " So so." "Has Mrs. Tree always been like that?" "No, only since the bank robbery." "When her piggy bank was stolen." "Since then, she's a bit, well... peculiar." "But when she's not shooting someone by mistake, she's pretty harmless." "I have an essay about the most common native wildlife." "It's due the day after tomorrow." "But if you do it today, it's out of the way." "Mama?" "Yes, yes." "Fire!" "Something happened again." "Faster!" "Come on, hurry!" "Faster!" "Enough is enough." "Yesterday they burned the stable." "The day before a wagon." " Next time we attack." " We will." "Who is doing such things?" "Indians." "They want to get rid of us somehow." "Again?" "That's normal for enemies, right?" "Yes, seems so." "Those were the bank robbers." "They should return my piggy bank." "Act, Sheriff." "Of course, we'll catch them, Rose." "But now I have some work to do." "But, Sheriff." "The bank robbers." "You have to go after them." "Or they'll be gone." "Yes, yes, tomorrow morning I'll take up the chase." "But, Sheriff." " I don't believe the Indians did this." "Let's clear things up." " You want to go ask the Indians?" "Something like that." "But they're our enemies." "Plus, we can't just leave town." "Scared?" "What nonsense." " Lrt's hope it's just Indians lurking here." " What else would there be?" "Well, wolves or bears." "I think they're more afraid of us than we are of them." "I hope they know that." "What?" "Uh, I think, it's better if I write my essay today." " So, bye bye." " Ok." "Very smart." "Hey, you, I saw you." "Help me down, immediately." "Help me." "White man not good." "I did you no harm, so help me down." " Why do you attack our city?" " We didn't." "But you are our enemies." "We only defend land." "We not enemy." "You take us land away." "I didn't take away nothing, so help me down, now." "Stop, lass." " Are they after you?" " Who?" " Well, the bank robbers." " No." "You only have to tell me." "I've had shooting lessons." "Do you see that bell up there?" "Hello, who's there?" "Henry, is that you?" "I think I bought a lemon." "Keep on practicing." "Now what?" "Are you going to untie me?" "I know why you won't set me free." "Because you're a coward." " Are you crazy?" " I am not afraid of you." "I understand now." "You may have saved my life." "Imagine if a bear had come along." "He would have been glad... the bear." "Very funny." "My name:" "Sakima." "My name is Luke." "We not attack town." "My father chief Cunning Wolf." "I am sure of this." "Our tribe wants peace." "Then maybe it was a different tribe." " Are arrows still there?" " Yes." "Can I see?" "Impossible." "An Indian in town." "Impossible." "Except maybe..." "It fits." " This is not an Indian arrow." " Why not?" "This is, how you say, iron." "That we not have." "Really?" "We use stones." "And beat them into shape." "So it wasn't Indians who set the wagon on fire." "Then who was it?" " We'll find out." "Ok?" " Yes." "The sheriff, he wouldn't like to see you here." "Let's go to my parent's saloon." "And remember, you're a cowboy." " Hi Pops, can we have a drink?" " Of course." "And who do we have here?" "Have we met?" " This is Bob." " Hi Bob." " Never seen you here." " He hasn't been here very long." " Orange juice?" " Yes, two please." "And, Bob, what town are you from?" " I Apac..." " From Apacho City." " Never heard of it." " It hasn't been around that long." "Luke, I hope you never let yourself fall in with Indians." "It could be dangerous for all of us." "Friends of Indians are not very well liked." "Do you understand me?" "Yes." "See you later." "I want to know who is behind the fires." "I not know." "Maybe we'll see something from the big hill." "I never saw tents there before." " I didn't either." " Let's get closer." "The arrows were certainly from these two." "The time has nearly come." "The Sheriff is getting nervous already." " One more fire attack and they'll raid the Indian village." " This will be fun." " Something there?" " What?" "Where?" " Well, there." " There?" "No." " I said so." "You must tell your parents." "Well, I don't know." "Papa forbade us to leave town and when he hears, there'll be trouble." "But we need to do something." "My village no chance against weapons of white man." " I know whom to ask." " Yes?" " Hank Johnson, the old cowboy." "Ok." "Ah, there." " Something wrong?" " No." "It's just..." "I don't like Luke playing with an Indian boy." "Yes, but you always tell me they are not our enemies." "Yes, but here people see that differently." "Sooner or later it will cause trouble." "Not necessarily." "Or?" "Howdy!" " Hi, Hank!" " Hi, Luke!" " And who do we have here?" " Bob." "Ah, Bob..." "Bob who?" "Spongebob." "Ah, Spongebob." "Interesting name." "Hank, the sheriff thinks the Indians should be blamed for the fire." "Yes?" "It wasn't them." "It was two big crooks." "They are the real enemies." "Enemies?" "They need a lot of love." " Excuse me?" " Do you know the Bible?" " Sure." " What?" "Look." "This is a Bible." " It holds good and important things." " And what does it say about the enemies?" "I can tell you right away." "Wait a moment." "I'll find it." "Here." "Love your enemies." "And pray for those who hunt you, because" "He makes His sun to shine on both bad and good people." "Love your enemies?" "Does that mean we should just let the criminals go?" "No, criminals are criminals." "They must be punished." "But the enemies we face in our daily lives, we should treat with love and respect." "You mean, for example, Mr. Dill, chasing us with a pitchfork if we run across his field?" " Exactly." " Should the white people also love the Indians?" "Actually, yes." "If an Indian were here, would you love him as well?" "Of course." "Why not?" "Wait a sec." "I want to show you something." "He soon have surprise, to love." " No false moves." "Indian." " But he's a good Indian." "There are no good Indians." "Hold it." "This one" "I got this as a present." "Years ago." "What's up with you?" "The sheriff has locked up Sakima." "You mean Bob." "Luke," "Indians are our enemies." "Don't forget." "Don't even start that." "We should love our enemies." "The Bible says so." " Yes, I know." "But..." " But nothing." "Sakima is totally okay." "And we have seen tents by the lake." "What did you do?" "You left town on your own?" "You know that's far too dangerous." "I have to agree with Papa." "But Sakima is not my enemy, he's my friend." "And for a friend one does everything." "Oh, you don't get it." "I want to know who doesn't get it here." "Fire!" "Fire!" "Again?" "!" "That can't be true." "Everybody, extinguish!" "Faster!" "Come." "More water." "More water." "Enough, people." "Now the Indians are in for it." "Get ready and bring your weapons." "Get your friends." "We will." "We meet here in two hours." "And then we'll level the Indian village to the ground." "We can't take this any longer." "Yes, we'll crush them." "But it wasn't the Indians." "Two crooks did it." "The Indians are not our enemies." "But, my boy." "You must have misunderstood." "The Indians are our enemies." "Even so." "We should still love them." "Hank said so." "Oh, Hank!" "He tells more stories than the day is long." "Hey, Sheriff." "If you want, we'll join up with you against the Indians." "Hmm, why not?" "The more, the better." "I'm also going, Sheriff." "What you doing here?" "If see white man here, take prisoner." "The men from my town want to run you out." " When?" " They'll be here within an hour." "Well, then." "I make you Indian." " How." " How." "How." "This is my friend, Brave Bear." "This chief Cunning Wolf, my father." "You look like white man." "Many say that." "White man bring much sadness." "Want take away our land." "They may not." "All people live together in peace." "That's right." "But what does white man?" "He build rails for iron horse across country." "And in iron horse shoot buffalo." "And laugh." "And what you not know yet, great chief, white men get ready." "Want to come right now and fight." "You must flee." "We not flee." "We not want fight." "But if white man want, then start..." "War." "The words of evil men, we need to find evidence so all believe us." " Good plan." " Come." "It will be fun getting rid of the Indians." "When they're gone, we get the loot." " If it's still there after all this time." " Oh, don't worry." "Without even knowing it, the Indians took good care of our money." " That's quite something." " Yes." " I hope everything went smoothly." " Yes." " That they didn't notice." " I hope so too." "And..." " Then do we leave the country, or what?" " Yes, of course." "Bummer." "I'm with you." "The cross is exactly at your chief's tent." "But who would bury something there?" "We not long this place." "We always move where buffalo is." "Now I understand why they want to throw you out!" "They buried the loot from the bank robbery there!" " We need to tell everyone." " Maybe too late." "Out of the way!" "Stop it!" "To wage war is senseless." "White man and Indians not be enemies." "Sakima and Luke also friends." "And the fire arrows, were no Indian arrows." "They would have stone tips." "It not Indians who made fire in town." " And here's a map and there is the hiding place." " From spoils of the bank robbery." "Precisely under the chief's tent." "Arrows and map found with men there." "The bank robbers, I knew it!" "Stop, men, let them go." "Good riddance." "I'll get them." "You're only dangerous if you don't aim." "No, Rose." "You'll make it" "You big warrior." "Go." "Take horse of great chief." "Hands up!" "Or I won't aim." " No, no." " We surrender." "Very good." "Get ready for tar and feathers." "Absolutely not tar and feathers." "Not again." "Then what?" "Think of something else." "In any case, it has to turn out well for us." "Oh well." "Go on." "The Indians and cowboys stood motionless in front of the crooks." "Chief Cunning Wolf said..." "Not tar and feathers." "We Indians forgive them." "We not want enemies." "But, somehow we have to punish them." "Exactly, criminals are criminals." "But in this case we want to show that we love our enemies." "But first they dig up the stolen money and return it." "And then they fix everything they set on fire." "Then they no longer be our enemies." "Well, did you hear that?" "So, do we have a deal?" "Love your enemies." "Like Hank Johnson and Bible say." "That is why I have great Indian surprise." "For us?" "Yes, we blindfold you." "Say nothing." "First person speak, lose." "Other get big and mysterious treasure." "Aha?" " Cool, so we are the actual winners." " Right." "We'll do the same." "We also have a surprise for the one who keeps quiet longest." " Really?" " Well good, but it better not be a trick." "No, no, you know us." " What is this?" " Just wait." " And now?" " Stop talking." "Otherwise, the other gets a great surprise." "We are the referees, but can't say anything." "Ok." "Here we go." " Hello, there you are." " Hello." "You were gone a long time." "You went boating?" " Yes." " Up until now?" "I hope you didn't do anything silly." "No, no, we just made up a new story about Indians." "I like it that you don't always do dangerous things but only make things up." "Great!" "So do we."
