"A man can't breathe, he can't fight."

"A man can't see, he can't fight."

"A man can't stand, he can't fight."

"If karate used defend honor, defend life, karate mean something. If karate used defend plastic metal trophy, karate no mean nothing."

"Look at this. Ten years ago, nuclear was the preferred waste. You could dump it anywhere! Now everybody's a detective. I'm lucky if I make one deal a YEAR without being indicted!"

"Now the real pain begins, Danny-boy."

"This slope, what's his name - Miyagi - and that punk kid - I'm gonna get them for what they did to you. They made you suffer, so I'm gonna make them suffer... and suffer and suffer and when I think they've suffered enough, then I start with the pain."

"You know it!" "It's cool"

Daniel Larusso: I can't do it! I can't do this! Why can't we just leave? I'm afraid! Why can't we just go home. I'm afraid!
Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: Daniel-San! OK to lose to opponent. Not OK to lose to FEAR!!
Daniel Larusso: I'm afraid! I'm afraid of this guy! What am I supposed to do about it?
Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: Use focus! Your best karate still inside. Now time let out!

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.

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

Daniel Larusso: [practicing karate in garden when suddenly the gate busts open] Hey get out of here man, I signed it okay!
Mike Barnes: What'd you call the cops for?
Daniel Larusso: Why'd you steal the trees?
Mike Barnes: No proof.
Daniel Larusso: Oh who left the application, the tooth fairy?
[the two fight until Barnes has Daniel on the ground] Mike Barnes: [steps on Daniel's throat] There's nothing you've got that I can't counter! Your karate's a joke!
Terry Silver: Let him up punk!
Mike Barnes: Who are you? His mother?
Terry Silver: Maybe.
[They fight until, Terry Silver has Mike by the hair] Mike Barnes: [afraid he's going to fall, he leans a hand on Silver for balance]
Terry Silver: Get your hand off me. Get your hand off me!
Mike Barnes: [shaking lets go]
Terry Silver: I ever even see you on the same street as this kid I will seriously mess you up. You understand?
Mike Barnes: Ok...
Terry Silver: YOU UNDERSTAND?
Mike Barnes: YES!
Terry Silver: [lets him go] Good! [kicks his butt] Now get the hell out of here!
Mike Barnes: [zooms out of garden]
Terry Silver: [helping Daniel up] Who was that guy?
Daniel Larusso: The guy I'm going to be fighting.
Terry Silver: Oh. Well, here I brought your book.
Daniel Larusso: Thanks.
Terry Silver: Now let me give you a little lesson on how to deal with punks like that.

Daniel Larusso: [tentatively] Mr. Miyagi?
[holds up injured tree] Daniel Larusso: [a crash of thunder strikes outside]
Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: [seeing this 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's strong.

Margaret: [to Terry Silver whose taking bubble bath and smoking a cigar] And if you do not pay your bills, I will sue your collective asses for everything you are worth.
Terry Silver: [whatever type of voice] Yeah. Yeah. Look, I'll have the check out by five.
Margaret: And what about the court on the green?
Terry Silver: Do what I usually do. Bribe them.
Margaret: [astonished shockness] Mr. Silver.

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.
