The Karate Kid Part III (1989)

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Inside you same place you karate come from.

Daniel Larusso : My karate comes from you.

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Ah. Only root karate come from Miyagi. Just like bonsai choose own way grow because root strong, you choose own way do karate same reason.

Daniel Larusso : I do it your way.

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Hai. One day, you do own way.

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : [after three minutes of devastating wallops, taken from Barnes at the All-Valley Karate Tournament, Daniel is slumped on the mat clutching his side... when Miyagi rushes up] Daniel-san! DANIEL-SAN!

Daniel Larusso : Mr. Miyagi, it's over! It's over! Forget about it!

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : No! NO!

Daniel Larusso : I'm afraid! Let's just get out of here! I wanna go home!

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : No, cannot! Cannot! MUST not! Is okay lose to opponent! Must not lose to fear!

Daniel Larusso : Yeah, well, I'm afraid! I'm afraid of him, all right? What do you want me to do?

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : HAI! You stay focused. Daniel-san, you best karate still inside you. Now time let out!

Daniel Larusso : Why do I have to do this with this thing?

Terry Silver : Because it's a part of the training. Because I'm teaching techniques that you don't have. Techniques you'll need to win the tournament. What, do you think you can rely on that crane crap?

[does a phoney impression of it]

Daniel Larusso : Well, I did pretty well with it last time.

Terry Silver : Hey, wake up and smell the coffee, Mr. Larusso. Last time you weren't fighting this.

[shows him a picture of Mike Barnes]

Daniel Larusso : [tentatively] Mr. Miyagi?

[holds up injured tree as a thunderclap sounds outside]

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : [seeing the tree, drops broom in sad shock, but calmly takes the tree and starts fixing it]

Daniel Larusso : [worried, sad] Will it be okay?

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Depend. If root strong, tree survive.

Daniel Larusso : If Mr. Miyagi doesn't sell this tree we're looking for, he loses his business. He's broke. His Social Security can barely cover the expenses on his rowboat. This tree is like money in the bank.

Jessica Andrews : Great. So now we're robbing a bank.

Terry Silver : [at the climax of Daniel's training] Visualize: this is not a bunch of sticks and pipes anymore; this is not some pathetic mugger who needs a couple of dollars so he can eat. No! This is a deadly, hungry wrecking machine who wants to detatch your head from the rest of your body and mount it over his fireplace!

[Daniel gashes his fist on the 2X4 with Mike Barnes' picture]

Terry Silver : It's blood. So what? Make believe it's HIS! This guy wants to BREAK you! HUMILIATE you! STOMP YOU INTO THE GROUND! NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

Daniel Larusso : ...NAIL HIM!

Terry Silver : SHOW ME! DO IT!

[Daniel breaks all three 2X4s]

Terry Silver : YES! You nailed him! You're ready!

Daniel Larusso : You know, this is the 80s, Mr. Miyagi. You can't be so damn passive!

Daniel Larusso : Why don't you just take off.

Dennis : [shoves Daniel hard] You take off!

Daniel Larusso : [practicing karate in garden when suddenly the gate busts open] Hey, get out of here, man! I signed it, all right?

Mike Barnes : What'd you call the cops for?

Daniel Larusso : What'd you steal the trees for?

Mike Barnes : No proof.

Daniel Larusso : Oh, who left the application? The tooth fairy? Huh?

Mike Barnes : [the two fight until Barnes has Daniel on the ground and steps on his throat] There's nothing you've got that I can't counter. Your karate's a joke!

Terry Silver : [entering the garden] Let him up, punk!

Mike Barnes : Who are you? His mother?

Terry Silver : Maybe.

[the two fight]

Terry Silver : Get up. GET UP!

Terry Silver : [grabs the book he brought with him] See this? You see it?

[hits Barnes with the book, then grabs him by the hair]

Mike Barnes : [afraid he's going to fall, leans a hand on Silver for balance]

Terry Silver : Get your hand off. Get your hand off me!

Mike Barnes : [shaking, lets go]

Terry Silver : I ever see you even on the same street as this kid, I won't be so charitable with your health. You understand?

Mike Barnes : Yeah...

Terry Silver : YOU UNDERSTAND?

Mike Barnes : YES!

Terry Silver : [lets him go] Good!

[kicks his butt]

Terry Silver : Now get the hell out of here!

Mike Barnes : [zooms out of garden]

Terry Silver : [helping Daniel up] Who was that guy?

Daniel Larusso : That's the lunatic that wants my title. I was hoping you would have killed him.

[chuckles]

Terry Silver : No, no. That's not what karate's about. It's for defense.

Daniel Larusso : Yeah, yeah, I know, you're right.

[tries to hand Silver's book back to him]

Daniel Larusso : Here, here's your book.

Terry Silver : No, I brought that for you.

Daniel Larusso : [remembering] Oh, yeah, right. Right, thanks!

Terry Silver : Well, of course, there's only so much you can learn from a book.

Daniel Larusso : Yeah, you're telling me.

Terry Silver : Come on, stand up. Let me show you a couple of moves to help you deal with punks like that.

Terry Silver : There you are. Where'd you go?

Daniel Larusso : I, uh, I had to go think about some things, and um...

Terry Silver : And?

Daniel Larusso : And, uh... listen, I decided not to defend my title. Look. I... I really appreciate everything you've done for me. I mean, you've been great, I just... you know, when I hit that guy, that... that's just not me, you know? I just... I just wanted to come here and tell you in person, 'cause I figure after everything, I owe you at least that.

Terry Silver : You owe me a lot more than that, Danny-boy.

Daniel Larusso : Oh, I... I'm sorry, I thought the lessons were for free, but I...

Terry Silver : [interrupting] No, no, no, nothing's for free. You ARE gonna defend. You're getting in that ring!

Daniel Larusso : Excuse me, Mr. Silver, you can't make me do something I don't want to do.

Terry Silver : [laughs] Danny, Danny, Danny. From the moment you met me, I've been making you do things you didn't want to do.

Daniel Larusso : [confused] What are you talking about?

Terry Silver : What am I talking about?

Daniel Larusso : Yeah, what?

Terry Silver : [calling towards office] Let's show him what I'm talking about!

Mike Barnes : [steps out] I'm what he's talking about, shit head!

Terry Silver : We have an agenda here, Daniel. It's really very simple.

Daniel Larusso : You guys are nuts, man!

Terry Silver : [continuing] Either you fight one fight on one day, or you fight every day for the rest of your life.

[even more hyped up]

Terry Silver : What's it going to be, Danny-boy?

Daniel Larusso : What's it going to be? I'm not gonna be there, so just forget about it, all right?

[attempts to leave the dojo, but is blocked by Kreese, who scares him by popping out from behind a cardboard cutout and forces Daniel back towards Silver and Barnes]

Terry Silver : Let's show Mr. Kreese how he's going to get his business back!

Daniel Larusso : Hey, I'm not gonna fight. You can't make me fight!

Terry Silver : You don't have to. You can just stand there and let him kick your ass!

[Daniel attempts to lunge at Barnes, but is blocked by him]

Terry Silver : [mockingly] Use the crane, Danny-boy!

Mike Barnes : [attacks Daniel] You're doing this to yourself, man.

[the Cobras are pulling Daniel/Jessica but stop about 95% of the way up so they can get the application]

Daniel Larusso : Hey! Pull us up!

Snake : First give us the application.

Daniel Larusso : No! I'll give it to you when we get up there.

Mike Barnes : [lets Jessica fall for 1/2 second. She's fallen 5 feet]

Daniel Larusso : All right! All right!

[gives it to Snake]

Daniel Larusso : Here.

Mike Barnes : Check it out.

Snake : [does] It's cool.

Mike Barnes : [points at Daniel lecturing] Don't even think about backing out, man, because then I'll really be pissed. And this, well, this will all seem like a happy memory compared to what I do to you... and what we'll do to her.

Daniel Larusso : I know you don't believe in fighting, but tournament karate isn't exactly fighting.

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Not exactly ping-pong, either.

Terry Silver : You think this is the end of it, old man? I'm gonna open Cobra Kai dojos all over this Valley. Hell, I might even teach for free! From now on, when people say "karate" around here, all they'll mean is Cobra Kai karate. John Kreese's karate. You won't even be a memory!

Daniel Larusso : Yes, he will. You won't.

[Kreese and Silver are laughing hysterically, as Daniel turns to Miyagi]

Daniel Larusso : NOW... will you train me?

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Hai. Now Miyagi train you.

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : [Terry's revenge plan is working and Miyagi is concerned about Daniel's change in personality] Daniel-san, why you doing this to yourself?

Daniel Larusso : Doing what?

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : What you doing.

Daniel Larusso : Because Mr. Miyagi extreme situations require extreme measures. Okay?

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi : Oh, Daniel-san, that not sound like you talking.

Daniel Larusso : Well, it is me talking, all right?

[opens door to his room and confronts Miyagi face to face]

Daniel Larusso : Look, I'm sorry if you don't like it but I've got problems, okay, and if you're not going to be part of the solution, just don't give me a hard time about it! All right? Okay, you got it?

[both are very hurt and upset]

[Cobras are leaving Daniel/Jessica stranded on ropes]

Daniel Larusso : Hey!

Snake : Yes, sweetheart?

Daniel Larusso : Pull us up, man!

Mike Barnes : The stakes just went up. Give us the tree.

Jessica Andrews : No, Daniel, don't!

Daniel Larusso : [does anyway] All right, but just be careful.

Dennis : [laughing evilly] What are you going to do with it?

Snake : Replant it.

[raises it and acts like he's gonna thrust it in the canyon]

Snake : Down there!
