Goldenboy - Lesson 1: Computer Studies; is Kintaro
Oe's first job in the six OAV episode series. Kintaro
is on his way to his next job, at a computer software
company. While riding his bike and listening to his
walkman, he is run off the road by a yellow ferrari!
As he shakes out the cobwebs, he looks up and sees a
beautiful blonde woman wearing next to nothing ( and when
I say nothing, I MEAN next to nothing...)! She asks
if he's ok and casually gives him 10,000 yen for his
trouble. Kintaro objects to this ( that's a LOT of
yen ) but is slapped away. The woman drives away, leaving
Kintaro to reflect on what he has learned form this
experience.
Kintaro finally arrives at the place
of his new job and is shown around the place. Of course,
the place is full of nothing but visually appealing women
( Kintaro is the luckiest man in the world! ), but that's
not all it has. He is introduced to the woman which
nearly killed him eariler. As it turns out, she is
also the president of the software firm he is now working
for. After the brief reunion, he recieves he place
at work...cleaning the toilets ( Kintaro is also the
world's UNluckiest man ).
While cleaning the toilets, Kintaro
reflects on the President herself...and finds himself
"  worshipping
" her white throne. The President catches him
and attempts to fire him but is interupted by a very
emotional Kintaro. Kintaro rants that he has studed
all night and day about computers, and he gets stuck
cleaning toilets and demands a chance to prove himself as
a computer programmer. She gives him the chance he so
wanted. So, Kintaro sits in front of a computer and
begins to program...or not. He has no clue what's on
the screen. He asks if it's the computer language
" Basic " and is promptly laughed at. One
of the women tells him they use languages like "
Small Talk Assembler " and " C-base ".
Kintaro thinks of the meaning of C-base...Kintaro's
mind cycles through the possiblities..." C-base?
C-base? If A-base is kissing, and B-base is
petting...then C-base is..." Kintaro stands up
and runs after the women screaming that he wants C-base!
The President gets pissed and tells him he is fired!
Kintaro once again, busts out the his logic on her
claiming that " I may be dim...but it's always dark
before the glorious sunrise! " He goes on to
say that he doesn't even want to get paid, he just wants a
chance! The President gives in and lets him keep his
job.
Kintaro and the workers all resume their respective
jobs. Kintaro while doing his mainly janitorial
duties, observes all of the workers, taking notes about
what he has learned. One night, Kintaro is about to
head home ( wherever the heck THAT is ) and he observes
that one computer is still turned on. He turns it
off but sees something still on below the desk. He can't
find a switch to it and decides to unplug it and proceeds
to daydream about the President praising him on a good
well done. the President makes her way back out from
getting a drink, she sees her computer screen flashing
" No data " and freaks out screaming " WHO
TURNED OFF THE FILE SERVER?! " Kintaro rushes to her
saying it was him and promptly gets hit...hard.
She explains to him that by
unplugging the server, they lost all the files they have
been working  on
for three months! Kintaro shows her his notebook
wondering why they didn't take notes. She takes it
and tears it up angering Kintaro. "
Those...those notes were more precious than my life!!!
You can't replace that kind of knowledge! "
said Kintaro has he confronts her...unfortunely he shows
her the page in which he wrote something bad about her (
he wrote beside a picture of her ' Women are scary! ' ).
She berates him saying he is " ...lower then
the garbage I found you in! " He pleads but she
goes on saying he doesn't need this job because she gave
him the 10,000 yen earlier. He says that he already
spent it. She gets pissed and spits on him...which
Kintaro catches in his mouth. She then proceeds to
beat the hell out of him.
The scenes switches to a week later and all the girls are
rapidly trying to get the program they were working on
done as it was due last week. One of the girls pops
in a disk given to her by Kintaro and it turns out to be
the program in which they were working on. The
President is overjoyed but then she regresses as she finds
out Kintaro bought the disk over. She thinks he
played a joke on her by backing up the program before he
unplugged the server, but one of the workers says that it
isn't their program. The main protocols are exactly
like their program but it isn't their's. As they
examine the program, they begin to wonder if Kintaro made
it. The President doesn't think so but is proven
work when a picture of Kintaro comes up thanking them for
everything. The President heads out of the office
seeing if she can catch him. They arrive outside and
they find no Kintaro but an elderly couple. They ask
were Kintaro is. They are looking for him because he
helped them out earlier in the episode by giving them the
10,000 yen because they were getting harrassed by the
Yakuza ( the old man owns a bicycle store Kintaro visited
) The President is thrown back by this. Kintaro
just GIVING away 10,000 yen? She runs off to her
car, gets in and drives off to find him. She
determines she was all wrong about him...
