You know, there are so many people these days,
who sing along with their Walkman loudly and don't even realize it.
They look so stupid!
They're such dorks! 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!
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! 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.
Got it.
The pedal is bent.
Hey, son, hold that side.
Yes, Sir.
All right, it's fixed.
Thank you.
So how much will it be?
It's all right. It wasn't that badly damaged anyway.
But...
I said it's okay. Just buy your kids' bikes from me when you have kids. 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 ass-ets 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! 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 anymore.
We don't use beginner's programming languages like BASIC.
Then what do you use?
C or Assembly, or maybe Small Talk.
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! What?
Nothing! How educational!
There...
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. Am I bothering you?
No, it's all right.
Here's your coffee.
Oh, thank you. 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 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! 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...
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!
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. Ms. President!
What are you yelling for? It's making my head ring.
Everyone, come here!
What is it?
Please take a look at this. 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?
This program is different from ours, Ma'am.
What did you say?
Though it does meet the client's requirements. 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!
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.
Study, study, study, study, study... Kintaro Oe, twenty-five years old.
Study, study, study, study, study... 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 everybody 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?
