The Karate Kid, Part II Page #3

My father, some others,

invent whole new economy.

Go into vegetable business,

save what was left of village.

Everyone owns

their own little farm?

No. Sato own. Village rent.

- That's a bummer.

- You're right.

Familiar face.

After school, Kumiko teach

O-bon dance to kids.

O-bon dance. It's for the festival

in honor of the dead, right?

Very good!

I remember reading about it last night.

What is that, a pill-box?

Probably left over from World War ll.

It must have been terrible here.

Yeah. And 150,000 Okinawan

and Japanese.

Why we all so stupid?

You have seen Father?

Then we finish tonight.

I bring a nephew for witness.

Then you and nephew both

lose sleep tonight. I not be there.

Your teacher coward!

You leave me no choice.

Wait a second.

Your father.

He want you.

And you, too.

Out of respect for my teacher...

I give you three days to mourn.

When finish, I come back.

You prepare to join him.

You know,

when my father died...

I spent a lot of time

thinking I wasn't such a great son.

Like maybe

I could have listened more...

spent more time

with him together.

I felt so guilty...

Iike he did everything for me

and I didn't do anything for him.

Then one day I realized, I did the

greatest thing for him before he died.

I was there with him...

and I held his hand...

and I said good-bye.

Very good, Daniel-san.

Time for next lesson.

All right!

I don't get something.

If Sato hates you so much,

why does he give you time to mourn?

My father was his teacher.

Inside the heart,

Sato still know right from wrong.

He still wants to kill you.

Sometime what heart know,

head forget.

But the guy's looking to go to war.

I don't understand.

Never stop war by taking part in one.

I know. But what if he threw that punch?

What would you have done?

- Block.

- Think you could have?

- Even you could have.

- I am not that strong.

Not matter who's stronger.

Matter who's smarter.

I guess that's why

I won the tournament.

Good guess, Daniel-san.

From very first karate lesson,

Miyagi father always say...

" Best way to avoid punch, no be there."

- I don't get it.

- Miyagi say same until I work here.

Miyagi first job,

work for Sato father.

One day, Miyagi mind on something

other than fish when empty net return.

That was close!

Drum technique. Understand?

Yeah!

Drum technique.

Let me try.

Come on. Just one turn, please.

You got to.

Just one turn.

Please?

Okay, come platform.

- Great.

- I go pull up hook.

Father say use drum technique

only as last resort.

You ready?

I am ready.

Remember, best block, no be there.

One...

two...

three!

You all right?

Yeah, I am okay.

Come. Enough for today.

Try again tomorrow.

You know, Miyagi and Yukie

have first date here.

Remember like was yesterday.

Happen over load of fresh mackerel.

You all right?

Yeah. I am sorry.

That was pretty stupid.

Miyagi say that to father

when same thing happened.

Father agree it was stupid.

Father was right.

Is there a counter-punch

in the technique?

Ask drum.

Come, Daniel-san,

talk to drum later.

- Does that guy's uncle own everything?

- Almost.

Hey! There's Miyagi the coward.

And his baby!

- Doesn't that bother you?

- Why should it?

People might believe it's true.

Daniel-san, lie become truth

only if person want to believe it.

Is that another

old Okinawan saying?

No. New Okinawan saying.

How new?

About ten seconds.

Are you okay?

I will get it for you.

Carrots, right?

I will get it.

Your little teacher

should get hearing aid.

- Maybe you need one, too.

- I only hear what's worth listening to.

Look out! We're working here.

What is this?

So, you cheat people!

Shame! You cheat! You cheat!

We will talk sometime

when you're not so busy.

You still remember our song?

Sing for me.

Yukie, I no sing long time.

Please. Please.

Oh, we were so young then.

Yukie, why you never marry?

You never come back.

You knew I would not.

Yes, I knew.

My father...

he ever tell you about

how he feel when I leave?

One time.

He say he love you very much...

and...

what you did was right.

Except for one thing.

I should have taken you with me.

Hello.

- I am disturbing you?

- What? No, not at all.

What are you doing?

- I was practicing some moves. See?

- What are moves?

It's like karate.

I am trying to figure this thing out.

Looks like O-bon dance.

Then I must be doing

something wrong.

Doing something right. Look.

- Wow. Where'd you learn that?

- From my auntie.

That's terrific.

You try.

No, not me. I was absent

the day they taught graceful.

You were what?

Forget it, it's a bad joke.

I will try it.

Good.

Wait a sec.

Right...

and left.

We're a hit.

Maybe we could

take it on the road.

But we are on the road.

You dance very nice.

Like geisha.

Let's go.

His little teacher's favorite

technique, huh? "Let's go."

Hey, come on, give me

the drum back, please.

You mean the baby rattle?

Why don't baby come take it back?

Stop!

Are you okay?

You insult my honor again...

and I kill you.

You keep for your collection.

I know you like it.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I am okay.

He cheats these people, and I am

insulting his honor. I don't get it.

He has no idea what honor is.

I kind of got that feeling.

Ever since we were children,

he has always been the same.

This is the first time I had somebody

ever tell me they're going to kill me.

This is ridiculous.

I got to talk to him.

He would only take it as a sign

of weakness and try to hurt you again.

You got any ideas?

Avoid him.

I think I am on the wrong island.

What's going on here?

Tea ceremony.

I guess it's an old ritual.

It means that they

are falling in love again.

- Daniel-san!

- I have been looking for you.

Been here trying

to fix refrigerator.

What's wrong with it?

This. got to go Naha City

for new part.

You like come?

I was supposed to go sight-seeing

with Kumiko, but I could go.

- You go, have good time.

- We could go tomorrow.

- No, I see you later.

- We don't have plans.

Never keep lady waiting.

I will remember that.

I will see you later.

Hi. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Be careful.

This reminds me of the Palisades.

Palisades? Where's that?

It's in New Jersey,

where I used to live.

Is it pretty?

Some of it.

There it is! The ruins

of the castle of King Shohashi.

The Peace King.

- You know King Shohashi?

- Not personally.

Name of it is--

Now Sato owns it.

In old days, O-bon dance

was held here, but no more.

Now every piece goes away.

Sato, he sells it to museums.

Sounds like him.

Legend is, if you race up to the castle

and win, your wish will come true.

Yeah? I will give you a head start.

Not necessary, thank you.

Excuse me.

Ready, set, go!

- I won!

- You cheated!

And you know you did.

We will share the wish.

Close your eyes.

Know what I want to know? What do you

want to do with your life, your dreams?

Okay, I will show you my dream.

I still can't get used to people driving
