I was telling my buddies about it. Could you give us a quick review?
- Sure, I'm free this period. - Great for me.
No, I got to go.
I guess that leaves you and me, but that's all right.
You can tell them about it later.
The Plains Indians were a very primitive tribe...
Come on, Casanova.
- Hi, how are you doing? - Good.
- You look nice. - Thank you.
You've got company.
Those are my parents. Come on, I want you to meet them.
Great.
- Hello, sweetheart. - Hi, Dad.
This is Daniel LaRusso.
- My parents, Mr. And Mrs. Mills. - How do you do, Daniel?
- Hello, Daniel. - Nice to meet you.
- Where are you going? - I don't know. Where are we going?
I don't know. Wherever you want.
- Golf N' Stuff? - We're going to Golf N' Stuff, then.
Don't worry about that. Weren't you going to have that fixed?
I am. I was. I will.
- You live in Encino, Daniel? - Encino? No.
- Where do you live? - Out, like Reseda.
- And that's your mother? - Yeah, that's her.
Hi!
She's waiting for us. We'd better go. Nice to meet you.
- Not too late, sweetheart. - Okay, Dad.
- Hi, Mrs. LaRusso. I'm Ali. - Hi, Ali. Call me Lucille.
- That's a beautiful house you have. - Thanks.
- Can you drive a stick? - Yeah.
Put it into second, let it roll, and when I say "pop it," pop it.
"Pop it."
Don't worry, it's all under control.
She's cute. It happens a lot.
Okay, LaRusso, push! On, you huskies!
Okay, pop it!
We got it on the first!
I'll pick you up at 11:00. Please, don't be late. Have fun.
- Look at that slide. - We'll do that next time.
- Why next time? - You need a bathing suit.
Oh, yeah. Bathing suits.
- Do you play hockey? - Not professionally.
This is the best time I've had since I've been here.
- We'll have to do it again. - Definitely.
Hey, good looking. How are you?
Good. This is cool.
- I just got it. You want a ride? - Some other time.
- Are you sure? - Daniel, this is Eddie. Eddie, Daniel.
- How are you doing, Daniel? - Good.
- Hey, Ali! How's it going? - Hi, guys.
- How are you doing? - Want to come with us?
No, I don't think so. You guys have a good time.
- We'll make room. - I'll call you tomorrow.
Your little friend can come, if it's okay with his mommy.
Hi, kids.
- Hey, Mommy, can Daniel come for a ride? - I really like your car.
- You could've gone. - I didn't want to.
- It's no big deal. - Lf I'd wanted to go, I would have.
It makes no difference to me. Do what you want, I don't care.
This is beautiful.
Mr. Miyagi, this is great. You've got real fish in there.
This is outrageous.
I thought Chung Lee's restaurant was nice. You beat his act.
This is paradise. Did you do this yourself?
Are these bongos?
No, I got it.
"Hare Krishna"
Daniel-san, you much humour.
- What are these? - Japanese sander.
- What do you do with them? - Funny you should ask.

Splinters all gone.
I'm finished.
Mr. Miyagi, I'm beat.

Good.
Go home, get rest.
Come morning, start early. 6:00.
Wouldn't a fly swatter be easier?
Man who catch fly with chopsticks, accomplish anything.
Did you ever catch one?
Not yet.
Could I try?
If wish.
Hey, Mr. Miyagi, look!
You, beginner luck.
I guess that means I can accomplish anything, right? No sweat.

I'm what? I'm being your goddamn slave!
- We made a deal here. - So?
"So"? You're supposed to teach and I'm supposed to learn.
Four days I've been busting my ass, I haven't learned a thing.
- You learn plenty. - I've learned to sand your decks.
I've waxed your car, I paint your house, paint your fence.
- Not everything is as seems. - Bullshit! I'm going home, man.
Daniel-san!
- What? - Come here.
- Show me sand the floor. - I can't move my arm, all right?

What were you doing on those stumps?
- Called crane technique. - Does it work?
If do right, no can defence.
Could you teach me?
First learn stand, then learn fly.
- Nature rule, Daniel-san, not mine. - Who taught you?
- Father teach. - You must have had some father.
- Look, the kid's got a pet Nip. - He know any tricks, kid?
Excuse, please. Boy cold, must leave.
Kindly remove bottle.
Kindly do it yourself, Mr. Moto.
How did you do that?
Don't know. First time.
Hey, you!
- Hey, not bad. Definitely varsity material. - You let me.
Should we try the slide on Friday? I could pick you up about 7:00.
I'm having dinner with my parents at the country club.
I'll be done by 9:30. Meet me out front.
- Is that cool? - Yeah.
Johnny, over here!
- What's the matter? - It's that little voice again.
Pretend you're deaf. Encino Oaks Country Club. 9:30.

Balance bad, better pack up, go home. Understand?
Yeah, I understand.
Did you ever get into fights when you were a kid?
Plenty.
- It wasn't like the problem I have, right? - Fighting, fighting. Same, same.
But you knew karate.
Someone always know more.
There were times when you were scared to fight?
Always scared. Miyagi hate fighting.
- But you like karate. - So?
Karate's fighting, you train to fight.
That what you think?
No.
Then why train?
So I won't have to fight.
Miyagi have hope for you.
- When do I learn how to punch? - Learn how punch...
...when learn how keep dry! - No!

Are you crazy?
You're crazy.

- I've got to go. - Do you have a date?
- With whom? - A friend.
Not that boy from Reseda.
Yeah, he's from Reseda.
He's a nice guy. It's no big deal.
Honey, you've monopolised the best-looking man here long enough.
- Hi. - Hi.
I've been thinking, maybe we can call a truce.
I'm not at war. Excuse me.
Could we please finish the dance?
Don't you ever do that to me again!
I didn't know you were a singer. How are you doing?

If you ever want this patch back, I'll understand.
I know you understand.
Try on.
This is beautiful. This is great.
Do you think I stand a chance at the tournament?
Not matter what Miyagi think. Miyagi not fighting.
I don't know if I know enough karate.
Feeling correct.
You sure know how to make a guy feel confident.
You trust the quality of what you know, not quantity.
Today you get driver's licence?
Yeah, look at this.
Check that out.
"Daniel LaRusso."
Congratulations.
Thanks. The kid's legal, now.
I never know you have sweetheart.
No, I don't.

No. Different, but different.
Too bad mother not here.

- That's okay. - I'm sorry.
Miyagi once have mother, too.
Go outside. Something show you.

You don't have to give me anything. You've given me enough already.
No really, I'm serious.
Choose.
Oh, no.
Hurt old man feeling.
- Choose. - Oh, wow.
I can't believe it.
What a gift!
Oh, boy.
Just remember:
A licence never replace eye, ear and brain.

- Banzai, Daniel-san! - Banzai!
I give up. Don't shoot! No.
- Don't leave me. I'm wounded. - Good, maybe you'll die.
- I just wanted to apologise. - Fine, you apologised.
- I got my licence. - Whoop-dee-doo.
- What's with you? - What do you expect? Cartwheels?
I just expected some courtesy, or is that only for people with fancy cars?
Can't you take a hint?
Does the truth hurt?
- You really think that's it? - I know it is.
- You're wrong. - I bet I'm wrong.
I didn't go out with you because of a car or where you live.
Okay, while we're on the subject, why did you then?
Why did you?
I thought maybe you and me were different.
I'm from Reseda, you're from the hills, that's how we're different.
Admit that you just can't handle the situation the way it is.
I can handle it fine. You can't.
What makes you so sensitive? She's never been anything but nice to you.
- She used me to make him jealous. - She doesn't even like him.
Who could tell, the way their faces were stuck together at the country club?
Right, you didn't stick around for the exciting conclusion.
- What, his hand on her ass? - Her right hook.
You think she sprained her wrist doing her nails?
- She hit him? - That's an understatement.
- Why didn't she say something? - She shouldn't have to, should she?
Hey, slugger.
Look, I'm a jerk.
You are a jerk.
So, am I forgiven?
I don't hear anything.
Sounds like a "yes" to me.
Come here.
I guess you know about the tournament tomorrow.
Who doesn't?
Dumb move, huh?
Not necessarily.
I don't have much of a cheering section.
You got me.
I'll probably get killed in the first match.
So, we'll leave early.
- I've got something to show you. - What?
- How do you like it? - Is it yours? Are you serious?
- It's beautiful. - It sure is.
- My God. - Here you go.
- You want me to drive? - It's the '80s!
- To start, you push that button. - You're incredible.
Press the clutch. Get the lights, no that one.
Good. Down is first. Let it out slow.
Hold on!
This is awesome. How fast does it go?
Let's not find out.
- What belt are you? - Why matter?
This is open division, it's only for brown belt or above.
Boy black belt.
You'd better hustle. They're starting. Down the hall, to your left.
- I'll see you inside. - Okay.
Excuse me, Mr. Referee.
This is not "Miyaji." Miyagi.
Miyagi.
Okay, thank you.
Well, look who we have here. Our little friend Danielle.
Hello, Danielle.
What's the matter? Mommy not here to dress you?
I'm talking to you, punk. Come on, make a move.
Hey, save it for the ring.
Come on!
- All right. - Let's go.
Come on.
Points or no points...
...you're dead meat.
I said out!
Dead meat.
Way to go, I think he's gonna cry.
The winner of the first match in the open division is Rufus Schneider.
- Mr. Miyagi. - Hurry. Tournament starting.
Where'd we get this?
Daniel LaRusso...
- Buddha provide. - ... please report to Ring 3.
- Where's Ring 3? - Over there.
Hold it! Sorry, teachers and students only.
He doesn't speak English...
...and I can't understand his instructions without her. She's his translator.
- What did he say? - You remind him of his uncle in Tokyo.
- I guess it's okay. What? - He says you're very kind.
- Thank you. - Welcome.
- What are the rules here? - I don't know.
First time you, first time me.
I figured you knew about this stuff. I figured you went to these before.
Great, I'm dead.
- You told me you fought a lot. - For life, not for points.
Everything above your waist is a point.
You can hit the head, sternum, kidneys, ribs. Got it?
- I hope so. - You can do it.
When are you jerks going to grow up?
- Where am I, over here at this one? - Number 3.
- What's that guy kneeling for? - I don't know.
- Don't you know anything? - Don't get hit.
Face. Bow. On guard.
Fight.
Back on your line.
Be tough, Daniel.
Come on, be tough.
Remember your defence. Points coming. Concentrate. Focus power.
Remember balance. Make good fight.
Run out of the ring once more, it'll cost you a point.
On guard. Ready?
That's one, Daniel, come on.
One more!
Move back on your line.
That's one point, round kick.
Daniel, you're the best!
You're dead!
Point! Winner!
Winner!
- It must be tight. - Yeah, right there.
- I never thought I'd get this far. - Make two of us.
Wouldn't it be great if I won?
- It'd be great if you survive. - What do you mean "survive"?
- I'm fine as long as I don't move. - You've got to move now, they're starting.
Are they starting now? What do you mean "survive"?
Ladies and gentlemen...
... may I have your attention, please.

If he is unable to return...
... John Lawrence will win by default.
I'll inform the judges.
You did well out there, young man.
Damn it!
Honey, forget it.
You were great.
I couldn't be prouder.
It was just bad luck.
You would have won if they hadn't cheated.
Just leave me alone for a minute.
We'll be outside.
Mr. Miyagi...
...you think I had a chance of winning?
Win, lose, no matter.
That's not what I mean.
Had good chance.
Can you fix my leg with that thing you do?
No need fight anymore.
- You proved a point. - What, that I can take a beating?
Every time I see those guys, they'll know they got the best of me.
I'll never have balance that way, not with them, not with Ali...
...not with me.
What?
Close eye.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment we've been waiting for.
Daniel LaRusso's going to fight?

Whoever wins the next point will be our new champion.
Finish him, Johnny!
It's over, Johnny! You did it!
Are you okay? Can you go on?
Get him a body bag!
Warning for illegal contact to the knee.
Finish him!
Winner!
The new champion!
- You're all right, LaRusso. - Thanks a lot.
Mr. Miyagi, we did it. All right!
