You're a sweetheart, that's great!

But what about those two jerks?

Those two jerks are taking up

100 percent of my time from now on.

So just have patience.

I'm just getting things rolling.

When I'm finished with that kid,

he'll be begging me to be his teacher.

You know what he's gonna learn from me?

Pain in every part of his body

and fear in every part of his mind.

And here's the kicker:

he's gonna thank me for it.

What about the old man?

Him I hurt for the kid.

By the time that little twerp

steps into the ring to defend his title...

...I'm gonna have him thinking

he's invincible.

Then he's gonna find out

what pain and fear really mean...

...right in front of a thousand people.

How do you know he'll compete?

He'll compete. Don't worry about it.

You just have fun.

Go give Mimona and her girlfriend

a squeeze for me.

How do you know about her?

I know.

Anything else you want?

Yeah.

Make his knuckles bleed.

I like that, Johnny.

I'm gonna use that.

I'm going to be working full-time

on this from now on.

Very good, sir.

No, it's too nice.

I gotta look poor.

This isn't bad. Fix the collar.

Make me look humble.

- About the Borneo call?

- All right, but that's the last one.

For the next few weeks,

my business is revenge.

Everything is in place, sir.

All right,

let's see what you've got for me.

Cute but wrong.

It's got no character.

A truck.

Yeah, I like it. Make sure it runs.

Yes, sir.

- Where are the magazines I ordered?

- Right here, sir.

- Have a very pleasant evening, sir.

- Thank you, Margaret.

"Karate's bad boy.

"Mike Barnes."

Perfect.

Mr. Miyagi, I'm home.

Daniel-san, just in time.

How was fishing?

We find out pretty soon.

So, how first day at college?

College?

College...

College is...

Well, you know college, Mr. Miyagi.

It's a place that I didn't go to today.

What?

Mr. Miyagi,

may all your dreams come true.

What this?

There's only one way to find out.

All right, I'll tell you.

It's my college diploma.

- What?

- I'm only joking.

Daniel-san, you have sense humour.

"Lease."

For your new bonsai store.

Congratulations.

"One month security, two month rent."

Yes. With just enough left over

for renovations, if we're careful.

Daniel-san, thank you very much,

but cannot accept.

But it's your dream, Mr. Miyagi.

Why not?

Because money in pocket

was not for Miyagi dream.

Was for college education.

I know, just listen to me for a minute.

I know me. I just can't take courses

to take courses.

I'll get bored.

Once it happens, forget about it.

It's bye-bye college.

I've been going to school non-stop

since I'm five. I could use the break.

- I don't know, Daniel-san.

- I do.

- Just come with me a second.

- Where?

- Come with me.

- What about fish?

The fish is not going anyplace.

That fish is dead.

What a moment!

You are now crossing over

to the right side of the tracks.

- What that?

- That's opportunity knocking.

Straight ahead. Right up there.

Your dream come true,

and there's plenty of free parking.

Right here, Mr. Miyagi.

- This place?

- This place. Wait till you see it up close.

So, is this the opportunity

of a lifetime or what?

Now, I know you're worried

about this area...

...but the landlord says

this neighbourhood is up and coming.

We're in on the ground floor over here.

Look, a pottery shop across the street.

We could set a deal,

get some planters made up for the bonsai.

Wait till you see inside, man.

This is going to be great.

This is going to be great.

Come on in.

Mr. Miyagi, welcome to your dream.

Now don't let this throw you.

Looks can be deceiving.

We have to think potential here.

Think potential, all right?

You see all this stuff? Everything in here?

You own it. Everything.

It's all yours. You could use this stuff.

This is good wood.

We can make shelves out of this stuff.

Back here,

I thought this would be a great spot...

...up here, to do like a bonsai display.

All those pine trees you have?

We could show them in different stages.

You know, the possibilities are endless.

Over here, right,

I thought this would be a great spot...

...for a little work area.

Over here we got like a bonsai hospital.

The little guys get sick. Take care of them.

I work for free. And I thought of a name.

Check it out.

"Mr. Miyagi's Little Trees."

Simple, direct, catchy.

It doesn't look it now,

but this place is a gold mine.

I know you can make it work, Mr. Miyagi.

If anyone can, you can.

What did I do? Did I forget something?

Well, what did I miss?

Your name on lease, next to mine.

- Partner.

- Partner?

Yes! Mr. Miyagi, this is gonna be great.

You're welcome.

What?

Don't bullshit me.

What do you mean

you can't dump it in Borneo?

Who in Borneo

knows what chloride sludge is?

Just do it!

Do it!

Call me when it's dumped.

Where were we, Margaret?

"And, in conclusion,

I reject your final offer.

"If you proceed,

I'll sue your collective asses accordingly."

Best to Lorna and the kids. Sincerely...

Yeah?

Good, bring him in.

What else?

The grand jury.

What do you intend to do about them?

Bribe them, as usual.

Lighten up, Margaret.

- Who's the DA on the case?

- Mr. Cole.

Good.

Let's invite Willie to dinner Tuesday night.

We'll have his favourite.

- Poached salmon.

- Very well.

Mr. Silver?

You must be Mike Barnes. Welcome to LA.

Thank you for bringing me down,

Mr. Silver.

Milos, call the boys.

This place is intense.

- Consider it home.

- Thanks.

Snake, Dennis.

Mike Barnes.

Dennis will take care of your training.

Snake takes care of everything else.

If you're looking to be a bad boy in LA,

Snake's the boy to be bad with.

You know it.

You get a weekly draw and a car.

Any questions?

Remember on the phone you said

if I come here...

...and I beat this LaRusso

in the All Valley Tournament...

...that you'd give me 25 percent ownership

in your new dojos?

Which I think is more than generous.

But I've been giving it some thought.

For me to do my absolute best,

which is what I want to do for you...

...l'm afraid I'm gonna need 50 percent.

Fifty percent?

Well, I don't know

if I can afford more than 35.

I understand. I guess I'd better get going.

It was nice meeting everybody.

- Do you fight as hard as you negotiate?

- Harder.

You got your 50 percent.

- And I get that in writing?

- By noon today.

You just bought yourself a champion.

You remember that.

- Snake, show him to his room.

- Yes, sir.

See you later, Mike.

Milos, my blue pinstripe.

So, what do you think?

He's obnoxious.

Yeah, he's perfect.

Very good. This make special bonsai.

You really see a bonsai in here?

Where?

Inside.

Inside?

Hello, any bonsai in here?

Daniel-san, not inside. Inside you.

Same place your karate come from.

But my karate comes from you.

Only root karate come from Miyagi.

Just like bonsai choose own way grow.

Because the root is strong.

You choose own way.

Do karate same reason.

Yeah, but I do it your way.
