DUNCAN (V.O.)
                         The Gold Family and love were two
                         things that never quite went
                         together.

                                                               FADE IN:



               INT. SIXTH GRADE VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY

               A child who we recognize from season one to be YOUNG NASH
               sits by himself opening Valentine Cards. He likes one
               especially.

               "I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER"...DONNA

               He looks up from his card to see a girl with brown hair and
               freckles waving at him. He furiously writes a card and walks
               it over to her.

               She opens up the card in front of him. It is a picture of a
               record.

               "I WILL PLAY YOUR PUSSY LIKE A DJ"...NASH GOLD.

               She looks up horrified. NASH flexes his eyebrows up and down.
               DONNA shoves the card into NASH's chest and runs off crying.
               NASH stares down at his card, confused.

               'Gold Mine Gutted' by Bright Eyes plays as the disc on the
               card begins to spin.

                                                               FADE TO:



               INT. FRIZZO AND NASH'S APARTMENT - CURRENT TIME

               The compact disc continues to spin, except now it is inside
               of a cd player.

               ZOOM OUT to NASH laying on a couch in the living room. He
               looks to be in a very downtrodden mood as he tosses a ball up
               and catches it repeatedly.

               FRIZZO storms into the room, holding a frisbee, and wearing a
               shirt that says, "I'm the shit" on it.

                                   FRIZZO
                         Dude, are you ready?

               NASH doesn't lose a beat with his balltossing. Hehe,
               balltossing.

                                   NASH
                         Ready for what?

               FRIZZO snatches the ball while it's in midair.

                                   FRIZZO
                         Gold Mine picnic at Swan Park.

                                   NASH
                         That's today?

                                   FRIZZO
                         Yeah man, it's going to be the
                         balls.

                                   NASH
                         I'm not going.

                                   FRIZZO
                         Yes you are. I bought a frisbee. We
                         can throw it at birds and
                         squirrels.

                                   NASH
                         Yeah? I'm going.

                                                                CUT TO:



               EXT. SWAN PARK

               FRANCHILLA and ANDREW are playing a game of washers. FRIZZO
               and CIARA are playing frisbee with one another. NASH and
               DUNCAN sit at the park bench talking.

                                   DUNCAN
                         You seem down, Nash. What's wrong?

                                   NASH
                         Nothing really.

                                   DUNCAN
                         Okay.

               NASH can't believe that DUNCAN cares so little.

                                   NASH
                         Well fuck you, then.

                                   DUNCAN
                         You just said nothing was wrong.

                                   NASH
                         I said that for dramatic affect.

                                   DUNCAN
                         Are you being emo again?

                                   NASH
                         Dude, low blow.

               FRANCHILLA walks over to NASH and punches him in the
               genitals.

                                   FRANCHILLA
                         Don't mind if I do.

               NASH catches his breath and directs his attention towards
               DUNCAN.

                                   NASH
                         I have a question for you.

                                   DUNCAN
                         You can ask me anything.

                                   NASH
                         How do you do it? Shit man, you
                         have everything figured out.

                                   DUNCAN
                         Are you serious?

                                   NASH
                         Yeah, sweet car, sweet pad, and you
                         got the girl.

                                   DUNCAN
                         I guess.

                                   NASH
                         You have no idea how lucky you are.
                         I'd give anything to have what you
                         have with Ciara.

               DUNCAN pats him on the shoulder.

                                   DUNCAN
                         Don't worry man, you will. All you
                         have to do is grow up a little.

               Away from the conversation, CIARA throws the frisbee over
               FRIZZO's head.

                                   FRIZZO
                         Dammit! You broke our string!

                                   CIARA
                         Quit crying and just get it.

               FRIZZO runs off camera.

                                   CIARA (cont'd)
                         He's gone. I can finally eat.

               CIARA walks to the table with NASH and DUNCAN. FRANCHILLA and
               ANDREW join them.

                                   FRANCHILLA
                         So, Nash, did Duncan help you
                         change your tampon?

               NASH dives across the table at FRANCHILLA and the two begin
               rolling around in the dirt with each other, throwing short
               arm punches. ANDREW gets down and breaks the two apart.

                                   FRANCHILLA (cont'd)
                         You're lucky Gold. A hurricane of
                         violence was rotating inside me.

                                   NASH
                         Are you flirting with me?

               FRIZZO walks back into the picture. He is cradling a baby
               under one arm and playing with it.

                                   FRIZZO
                         Hey guys, look what I found.

               The group looks on horrified and stunned.

                                   DUNCAN
                         Someone tell me that isn't a baby.

                                   ANDREW
                         That's a baby alright.

                                   CIARA
                         What the fuck, Frizzo?

                                   FRIZZO
                         Isn't he cute?

                                   DUNCAN
                         You can't keep him.

                                   FRIZZO
                         Finders keepers.

               FRANCHILLA uses this distraction to slap NASH in the face.
               NASH returns his slap with a tackle. The two begin rolling
               around again.

               A very tan woman with dark brown hair comes into the picture,
               in a panic.

                                   WOMAN
                         That man took my baby!

               FRIZZO hands the baby to CIARA, trying to keep him hidden
               from the woman.

                                   FRIZZO
                         I did not and you can't prove it.

               CIARA rolls her eyes and walks the baby over to his mother.

                                   CIARA
                         I'm very sorry. We had nothing to
                         do with this.

                                   FRIZZO
                         That's my baby. I don't know where
                         yours is.

               He tries taking the baby away from the woman again.

                                   WOMAN
                         Get away from me, creep!

               NASH gets away from FRANCHILLA long enough to take a glimpse
               of this woman. He is taken away by her beauty.

               DUNCAN reaches for something in his back pocket.

                                   DUNCAN
                         Please miss, allow me to apologize
                         for my slightly retarded friend. I
                         know this isn't much but here is a
                         fifty dollar certificate for The
                         Gold Mine.

                                   WOMAN
                         That record store on Fifth Street?

                                   DUNCAN
                         The one and only.

                                   WOMAN
                         I've been meaning to check out that
                         place ever since I moved to town.

                                   CIARA
                             (smiles)
                         Well, here's your chance.

                                   WOMAN
                         Okay, just keep that man away from
                         me.

                                   DUNCAN
                         Don't worry. We're very sorry.

                                   WOMAN
                         You all have a nice day.

               The woman leaves with her baby. FRIZZO starts crying.

                                   FRIZZO
                         I'm gonna miss Ernie. That's what I
                         named him. Ernie.

                                   CIARA
                         That was a close one. Even for us.

                                   NASH
                         I think I'm in love.

               Everyone looks at NASH. He can't take his eyes off of the
               vicinity that the woman was standing in.

                                   FRANCHILLA
                         And I think I'm going to throw up.

               FRIZZO gets down on his knees and looks up at the sky.

                                   FRIZZO
                         Why God why? What did I deserve for
                         you to take Ernie away from me?
                         Nothing will fill this void...
                             (notices something)
                         Sweet! Pretzels!
