What, you think you can rely on that crane crap?

Daniel Larusso

It worked last time.

Hey, wake up and smell the cofee Mr. Larusso! Last time you weren't fighting this.
[Shows Daniel a picture of Mike Barnes]

Daniel Larusso

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

[at the climax of Daniel's training]

Visualize: this is not a bunch of sticks and pipes anymore; This is a living, breathing wrecking machine who wants to detatch your head from the rest of your body!

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

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!

THEN DO IT!

[Daniel breaks all three 2X4s]

YES! You nailed him! You're ready!

[entering shop]

What's that smell?

I don't know.

[sniffs air]

It smells like yellow streak.

Daniel Larusso

Hey! Okay! This isn't funny anymore.

[real cocky]

Oh, I know.

Sign the application yet?

Daniel Larusso

No.

[calls across the room]

Hey Dennis! He didn't sign it yet.

Dennis
[puts something down he was looking at and shakes his head back and forth making tsking sounds. Then he karate chops some shoji windows]
Daniel Larusso

Why don't you just take off.

Dennis
[shoves Daniel hard]

You take off!

Daniel Larusso
[Cobras are leaving Daniel/Jessica stranded on ropes]

Hey!

Yes, sweetheart?

Daniel Larusso

Pull us up, man!

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?

Replant it.

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

Down there!

Daniel Larusso

NO!

Jessica Andrews

NO!

[disgusted]

Enough talk. Give me the tree!

[takes it]

Okay. Now you want it, right?

Daniel Larusso

Yes!

Jessica Andrews

Yes!

And you don't want me to replant down there?

Daniel Larusso

Yes.

Jessica Andrews

Yes.

Hey, Daniel.

[breaks the trunk of the tree]

Make a wish.

Daniel Larusso
[goes off laughing very hard with Dennis and Snake] [looks at the injured tree very heart broken]
Daniel Larusso
[tentatively]

Mr. Miyagi?

Daniel Larusso
[holds up injured tree] [a crash of thunder strikes outside]
[seeing this drops broom in sad shock but calmly takes the tree and starts fixing it]
Daniel Larusso
[worried sad]

Will it be okay?

Depend if root's strong.

Daniel Larusso
[practicing karate in garden when suddenly the gate busts open]

Hey get out of here man, I signed it okay!

What'd you call the cops for?

Daniel Larusso

Why'd you steal the trees?

No proof.

Daniel Larusso

Oh who left the application, the tooth fairy?

[the two fight until Barnes has Daniel on the ground] [steps on Daniel's throat]

There's nothing you've got that I can't counter! Your karate's a joke!

Let him up punk!

Who are you? His mother?

Maybe.

[They fight until, Terry Silver has Mike by the hair] [afraid he's going to fall, he leans a hand on Silver for balance]

Get your hand off me. Get your hand off me!

[shaking lets go]

I ever even see you on the same street as this kid I will seriously mess you up. You understand?

Ok...

YOU UNDERSTAND?

[lets him go]

Good! [kicks his butt] Now get the hell out of here!

[zooms out of garden]
[helping Daniel up]

Who was that guy?

Daniel Larusso

The guy I'm going to be fighting.

Oh. Well, here I brought your book.

Daniel Larusso

Thanks.

Now let me give you a little lesson on how to deal with punks like that.

There you are.

Daniel Larusso

Yeah. I had to do some thinking.

Daniel Larusso

I decided not to fight in the tournament this year. I figured that's the least of respect I owe you. Just to let you know.

You owe me alot more than that, Danny-boy.

Daniel Larusso

Oh, I can have the payment for the lessons in a couple of weeks. I just need to get the money.

No money. You're getting in that ring and fighting the tournament. That will be how you pay for the lessons.

Daniel Larusso

Wait. Mr. Silver, you can't make me do anything I don't want to do.

[laughs]

Danny, Danny. Since the moment I met you, I've been making you do things you don't want to do.

Daniel Larusso
[confused]

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

[calls in office]

Shall we show him what I mean?

[steps out]

I'm what he's talking about shit head.

We have a little agenda here, Daniel. It's really very simple. [so excited spits out]

Daniel Larusso

You guys are crazy!

Either you fight one fight on one day, or you fight everyday for the rest of your life. [even more hyped up] So what's it going to be Danny boy?

Daniel Larusso

It's going to be that I'm not going to be there.

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

[attacks Daniel]

You're doing this to yourself.

[after Mike Barnes beats Daniel up]

Do you wanna see some more?

I wanna see a lot more.

[to Mike]

Bring him back.

[to Kreese]

You see his face? See the trail? I think he peed in his pants.

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

Hey! Pull us up!

First give us the application.

Daniel Larusso

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

[lets Jessica fall for 1/2 second. She's fallen 5 feet]
Daniel Larusso

All right! All right!

Daniel Larusso
[gives it to Snake]

Here.

Check it out.

[does]

It's cool.

[points at Daniel lecturing]

You back out of this and this will seem like a pretty nice dream compared to what we all will do to you... and her.

Daniel Larusso

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

Not exactly ping-pong, either.

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, all that anyone will know about is Cobra Kai karate. John Kreese's karate. You won't even be a memory!

Daniel Larusso

Yes, he will. You won't.

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

NOW... will you train me?

Hai. Now Miyagi train you.

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!

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?

Use focus! Your best karate still inside. Now time let out!

Inside you same place you karate come from.

Daniel Larusso

My karate comes from you.

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.

Hai. One day you do own way.
