[The Cobra Kai gang, all in skeleton costumes, are viciously beating Daniel up, after he soaked Johnny in a toilet, for rolling what looked like cannabis] (to Dutch)
Leave him (Daniel) alone man, he's had enough!
Dutch Shut up, Bobby!
Bobby Brown
Look at him, Dutch. He can't even stand up!
Dutch So what?! THAT DON'T MEAN SQUAT!
Bobby Brown
Johnny! (still to Johnny and pointing at Johnny) Leave him (Daniel) alone, man, he's had enough!
I'll decide when he's had enough, man!
Bobby Brown
What is wrong with you, Johnny!
AN ENEMY DESERVES NO MERCY!
Dutch (to Johnny)

[The Cobra Kai gang do not see Mr. Miyagi climbing over the fence. Johnny launches an attack on Daniel, only for Mr. Miyagi to drop down from the fence, knocking Daniel down to safety. Johnny flies through the air, towards where Daniel was standing, and breaks a sign on the fence]
Tommy! [slaps him with his hand]
Bobby! [also slaps him with his hand] Get him!
[Tommy and Bobby grab Mr. Miyagi by his shoulders, but he frees himself and knocks them both down, before making short work of all the Cobra Kai gang by kicking Jimmy down, kicking Dutch in the crotch, and finishes off Johnny by flipping him over and karate chopping him]
Dutch [Daniel is bicycling home when Johnny's gang ambush him]
Looking for a shortcut back to Newark, Daniel?
No, he wants to learn karate! Well, here's your first lesson: how to take a fall!
Dutch Don't think about the pain.
[Cobras shove Daniel into a ravine then ride away laughing uproariously. Daniel trudges home then throws the bike in a dumpster. At the same time, Lucille returns to the apartment complex to witness Daniel's breakdown]
This damn bike. I hate this bike. I hate this frigging bike. This stupid bike! I hate it! Stupid bike.
Daniel! What's the matter?
NOTHING!
Why did you throw your bike away?
Because I felt like it, Mum.
Please look at me when I'm talking to you (sees Daniel's bruises) Oh my god! Can you tell me what's going on? And don't tell me about another bike accident!
What do you want to hear, ma?
The truth is-
No you don't want to hear the truth. All you want to hear is how great it is. Well, it may be great to you but it SUCKS for me! I hate this place! I HATE IT!! I just want to go home! Why can't we just go back home?
Listen to me, I cannot help you unless you tell me what's wrong!
I gotta take karate lessons.
You took karate!
No, not at the Y at a good school.
But, fighting doesn't solve anything Daniel.
Well, neither does palm trees, ma.
That's not fair!
Like it was fair coming over here without asking me how I felt about it. Right, that was really fair.
You're right. I should've asked.
Yeah, well, I just wanna go home. That's it. I don't understand the rules here and I want to go home.
Let's clean you up and maybe we can figure out the rules here together. What about your bike?
It's safer taking a bus. Why can't we just go home? Why can't we just go home and forget this place?
[He and his mother go upstairs. Their argument was overheard by Mr. Miyagi, who emerges from his office, troubled over Daniel's problem]
