Golden Boy (1995–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Konpyuta de Obenkyo (Computer Studies) - full transcript

Kintaro obtains a janitorial job at an all-woman software firm led by the Ferrari-driving, skimpily clad Madame President. An electrical accident jeopardizes the firm's future, allowing ...

You know, there are so many
people these days, who sing...

along with their Walkman
loudy and don't even realize it.

They look so stupid!

They're such dorks!

My name is Kintaro Oe.

I'm 25 years old.

I'm an easy-going,
job-hopping part-timer.

Right now I'm on my
way to a new part time job.

I wonder what it'll be like?
Man, I can't wait!

Wandering Student.

Computer Lesson.



Ouch... Geez...

I guess I shouldn't have
been listening to my Walkman.

Pee-YEW!

Are you okay?

Boing... boing... boing...

Are you hurt?

Beautiful!

I am perfectly fine!

God, what a mess!
I'd better clean this up.

That's good.

Good?
Oh yeah, that's really good!

Here, this is for your dry
cleaning and medical expenses.

Also,
for your bicycle repair fees.

This bundle... A million yen!



Well then,
I'm in a real hurry, so...

Wait a minute!
I can't take this much!

Don't touch me with
your filthy hands.

Yes, Ma'am.

Yes?

Little boy, from now on,
stay on the sidewalk.

Yes, Ma'am.

Hey, what a learning experience.

Women are scary.

The pedal is bent.

Hey, son, hold that side.

Yes, Sir.

Alright, it's fixed.

Thank you.

So how much will it be?

It's alright.
It wasn't that badly damaged anyway.

But... I said it's okay.

Just buy your kids' bikes
from me when you have kids.

Thanks!

Be careful, kid!

Hey, old man,
did you get the money?

Could I have just a little longer,
please?

Forget it!

Those guys are...

Please, have a heart.

I ain't no errand boy, grandpa!

Hey, don't be so rough.

Hey, didn't you hear me?!

Stop that!

Mister, we're businessmen,
so though even the Buddha can...

only be tried so far,
we've been more merciful than him.

I see.
Even Yakuza use old sayings.

This is so educational.

Excuse me.

I'm Oe who called yesterday.

Oh, you must be the new guy.

Follow me.

Okay!

As you can see,

our company develops
business application software.

Wow,
the breeze that passes through here...

Smells like spring.

What a refreshing place to work.

Ms.
President, this is our new recruit, Oe.

Nice to meet you, Ma'am.
I'm Oe, the new guy!

That boing boing is...

That scary woman
is the President?!

Oh,
I wanted to say thanks for earlier today.

Er...

Toilet cleaning.

Okay,
then please go clean the toilets.

I wonder if the President
hates me or something?

I even studied computers for this,
you know?

But she's so awesome!

I can't help but admire her.

She's so beautiful
and with that hot body...

She smells good and
has a brain to boot.

Talented, aggressive, rich,
and she even drives a Ferrari!

Oh God,
I could follow her around forever!

Address me as Your Majesty!

Your Majesty,
please enslave me for life!

Her beautiful Majesty sits here,
and her assets are...

Her assets are...

No!
I shouldn't think about things like that!

But, but my body...

I can't help it!
I can't control my body and...

I am gonna rub against it,
and rub, rub, rub...

Oh, how naughty!
Her Majesty's giving me a golden shower!

What's this?!

Are you some kind of pervert?

I'm sorry, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty?
What are you talking about?

Oh damn! She hates me now!

This is terrible!
I'm going to be fired!

I'm sorry,
but our company and you...

What a miserable world this is!

I was so excited about landing this job,
I...

even studied all
night about computers.

But I get here and I
have to clean toilets?!

Crushed by my sorrow,
I was wetting the toilet with my tears!

I love computers!

I really love computers!

LSI, CPU...

Simple yet complicated
circuits printed on a micro world!

I want to work!
I want to write programs!

If you're going to criticize me,
why...

don't you test
my abilities first?!

Go right ahead.

All right!

Okay! The time has come
to show off the computer skills

that I learned
from my all-nighter.

Since I didn't have a computer,
I made my own keyboard out of paper.

Ah, those were tough times.

All of it for just
this moment...

What's the matter?

Hurry up!

It's all ready.

Check this out!

What the hell is this?!

Excuse me...
Isn't this in BASIC?

You don't know anything, do you?

Look, we're professionals.

You're not in elementary
school any more.

We don't use beginner's
programming languages like BASIC.

Then what do you use?

C or Assembly,
or maybe Small Talk.

C!

C!

So, if A is for kissing...

B is for petting...

Then C is... C is for...
TEACH ME!

Teach me! Teach me!
What do you get with C?!

No job for you!

Someone as excitable as
you isn't suited for our company.

We have no need for you here.

No... What a merciless gaze!

I said to get out of here!

Young men nowadays
can all talk big,

but they have no abilities
or sense of responsibility.

Please, wait just a minute, Ms.
President!

Maybe not today,
but a huge sun may rise tomorrow!

A huge sun?

What in the world?

Any tedious chore,
I'll work hard,

wholeheartedly,
with total dedication!

You don't even have to pay me.
Please give me a chance.

Even the Buddha
can only be tried so far!

That isn't the proper
usage of the saying.

Well, do whatever you want,
but don't distract the others.

Thank you.

Excuse me, but could you
teach me about that 'C' thing?

Sure. 'C' is a computer
language that's closer to.

Assembly and Machine Language
than BASIC and FORTRAN and...

I see. Nothing do with sex.

What?

Nothing! How educational!

'C' is not sex.

The workplace that
smells like spring.

I couldn't quit this job so easily,
right?

Is it fun watching?

Am I bothering you?

No, it's all right.

Here's your coffee.

Oh, thank you.

By the way,
what exactly were you just talking about?

Well, basically, we were just
saying that we need a new concept.

This is delicious.

For example, a new way to
make difficult things easy for kids

or find a sector of
unused resources.

This is so educational.

The president is
so fluent in English.

Yes,
the software we're developing right now

is for an American
movie company.

A venture company
like us can only hope

for a big break in
places like America.

But not in Japan?

It's the difference in demand.

If the profit margins
are the same,

you should go for
the bigger market.

Working hard, I see.

Ms. President!

Aren't you scared?

No, not at all.
I've worked as a window cleaner before.

I see.

Be careful.

Boing, boing... Yes, Ma'am!

It feels so good!

Feels so good!

Ms.
President, I'll do a good job!

Study! La la la, study!

Life is one big classrooom!

This is... A black bra!

Life is one big mystery.

Time to learn more.

Oh, really!

You know, I heard about a
really nice restaurant yesterday.

Tell me! Where is it?

Please don't let me get caught!

But...

This is so educational.

Now, time to go home.

Ta-da.

Hey, this one is still on too.

Let's see. What?

There's no switch.

I know.
All I need to do is unplug it.

Okay!

You should turn the power
off when you're not using it.

There are so many who don't
think about company expenses,

but you're different,
you're such an excellent employee!

Well! Please, Ms.
President, calm down.

We shouldn't.
I can see your nipples. Just joking.

Really?! I can do that too?

The piercing cry of a lady!

What happened, Ms. President?

Who the hell pulled
the plug on the server?!

What?!

Wow!
Thank you for turning it off for me!

YES! I DID IT!

What the hell did
you do that for?!

It took me three months to
write that important program!

And now you've erased it!

The delivery date is tomorrow!

At best,
they'll only wait another week!

What the hell are
we going to do now?!

Don't you have
notes or something?

I write down everything that's important.
See?

If you hadn't
disconnected the power,

the data wouldn't
have been lost!

What did you do that for?!

Our losses are nothing
compared to that!

These notes are...

These notes are...

More precious than my life!

You can't buy this with money!

Oh damn!

Get out of my sight!

I thought you had
some potential,

but you are a totally
worthless man after all.

Please forgive me.
Please don't lose confidence in me.

I can't leave after
making this much trouble.

Such words are befitting
only a full-fledged man.

I'll do anything.

If you want me to lick your shoes,
I'll do it.

If you want me to wipe your ass,
I'll happily do it.

I know you don't have
to worry about money,

since you pulled that fake
accident stunt and got a million yen.

I already spent the whole thing.

You good-for-nothing bastard!

Don't mess with me,
you worthless little piece of shit!

Please forgive me!

One week later...

It's no good. We won't make it.

We spent over three months
developing that program.

Will our company suffer its
first defeat since its inception?

Ms. President!

What are you yelling for?
It's making my head ring.

Every one, come here!

What is it?

Please take a look at this.

What?

How?

That's the program
that Kintaro erased.

Why do we have it here?
Did somebody have a backup?

No, I downloaded a
diskette that Kintaro brought.

What?!

I see! Kintaro played us!

That punk intentionally
pulled the plug out

after he had
downloaded the program!

He must have been
laughing his ass off,

watching us struggle
after we lost the program.

His oddly humble attitude
and immediate apology

was all just an
act to fool us with!

I won't let him
get away with this!

Where is Kintaro?!

He was cleaning the
entrance just a while ago.

I'll kill him!

Wait a minute, Ms. President!

What?

This program is different from ours,
Ma'am.

What did you say?

Though it does meet
the client's requirements.

Let me see it.

You're right. It's different.

And this one is much
more user-friendly than ours.

It's fun to use...

Or rather,
my thoughts easily take shape.

I didn't know you
could do it this way.

It's easy to understand,
just by looking at it.

I think even a novice could
use this without a manual.

This is an interesting idea.

Look at the delete icon.

The flower in the pot grows
bigger when you throw data away.

And the wizard at the top is
helping out with the operations.

How cute!

This person has a real knack for it.
Who wrote this?

Well, could this be by...

Are you saying that Kintaro did this?
No way!

I have learned a lot.
Thank you very much.

He wasn't all talk, after all.

This is great. I can't believe
he did all this in one week.

I remember that when I taught him
something, he was a quick learner.

Kintaro Oe... He was abused
as being idiotic and irresponsible,

and leaves without letting
us know where he is going.

But in actuality,
he was far superior to any of us.

More responsible
and more forgiving...

Don't make me laugh!
This is too incredible!

This is too good to be true!

Did you say he's at the gate?

I'll get to the bottom of this.

He's not here.

Excuse me... May I help you?

Is there a young
man who wears a cap

and rides a mountain bike
employed at this company?

That must be Kintaro.

The other day when
we were in trouble,

he let us borrow a million yen,

but he didn't leave
his name or anything.

I saw him coming in and out of here,
so I thought perhaps...

He gave the million
yen to this elderly couple,

who he doesn't even know,
just like that?

Ms. President...

Ms. President, where...

Please take care
of things for me.

Please? Ms. President!

Kintaro, you're really...

I can still make it.

Kintaro Oe,
twenty-five years old.

Tokyo University Dept.
Of Law dropout.

He withdrew from school because
he had mastered the entire curriculum.

Since then,
he has been changing jobs...

numerous times,
learning about life.

Riding his favorite bike,
Crescent Moon, he keeps on moving.

And perhaps someday,
he may save Japan, or even the world...

When I stretch my
back after taking a bath

I see stars on the
back of my eyelids.

When I drink milk I
put my hand on my hip.

Why? What is this?
Who started this?

Please tell me,
please grant me this.

Please understand
my desire to know

I roll up my sleeves
and tie them up.

Put my hand towel around my head,
do my best

I know I can do it
because I enjoy it.

It's only hard when
you're starting out.

Study.

I took a nap to avoid
the afternoon sun.

And my face became
patterned like the tatami mat.

When I have a nosebleed
I tap the back of my head.

Why?
Why does every body know this?

Please tell me,
please grant me this.

There's so much more
I want to ask about

I roll up my sleeves
and tie them up.

Put my hand towel around my head,
do my best.

If I get tired, I'll have tea.

Little by little,
it'll get better.

Study.

I close my eyes and get closer.

It smells like laughter.

So simple, just like feeling it.

It's such a mysterious power,
isn't it?

I roll up my sleeves
and tie them up.

Put my hand towel around my head,
do my best.

If I get tired, I'll have tea.

Little by little,
it'll get better.

Study

I roll up my sleeves
and tie them up.

Put my hand towel around my head,
do my best

I know I can do it
because this is fun.

It's only hard when
you're starting out.

Study.

Is the music first?
