- Yeah, I'd love to.

Partner show you around.

Don't forget lock up.

No, I won't.

- Good night. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, too.

- I'll see you later.

- Bye-bye.

- You see why I call him "mister"?

- Yeah. He's nice.

He's the best. Come on in.

What's this?

That's Mr. Miyagi's.

He brought it for good luck.

What do you think?

It is going to be great.

- Yeah, it is.

- It needs a little work, but...

So where'd you meet him?

I met him when I moved out here.

He started teaching me karate.

Karate?

- You do karate?

- Yeah, I do.

He doesn't really look like

the karate-teacher type.

He doesn't act like it either.

Half the time he teaches me stuff,

I don't know what it is.

What do you mean?

It's like that vase

you were making this morning.

He'll make a whole karate lesson

out of that.

No, I'm not kidding.

Show me how you were making that...

- You go up and then you go down.

- Okay, now you do that.

Okay, go up.

Now, okay, right, see just like that.

Now go down.

Okay, now do that again. Go up.

I'm a mugger.

I'm gonna grab you,

now grab the back of my head.

Then pull down and bring your knee up.

Room for one more down there?

- What are you doing? We're not open.

- The door was.

I meant for business, pal.

I didn't come here for business.

Came here to talk to you.

We heard you weren't entering

the All Valley this year.

Is that true, Daniel?

- Where'd you hear that?

- Is it true?

Yeah, that's true. So what?

- We'd like you to reconsider.

- Is that why you guys came down here?

- I need your title.

- Then enter the tournament and go for it.

Maybe you didn't hear me.

I need your title.

You don't enter

and that effects my financial future.

I won't let that happen. Get it?

I have nothing to prove.

I have no reason to fight.

I do. I got some money to make.

Give me the application.

Forget it. I'm not going to fight...

Sign it!

You sign it, man!

Come on, man! Right now!

Let's go, punk!

Let LaRusso sleep on it.

Come on. Mike!

Yeah, you sleep on it.

And you can dream about me.

You slimeball.

Slimeball? That's cute.

Did your mother teach you that?

Come on, Mike.

You'll have to excuse him.

He's usually a very mellow guy.

See you later.

Do you know those creeps?

No.

And I wanna keep it that way.

Excuse me.

Mr. Miyagi?

My name is Terry Silver.

My master is Kim San Jang

of South Korea.

My teacher sends his respects.

John Kreese of the Cobra Kai dojo

was our school's number one student.

Word reached us in Korea

only two months ago...

...about what happened last year

at the tournament.

My teacher sends his apologies

for John Kreese's dishonourable actions.

Accept apology.

I was sent here

to help John regain balance.

Hope you can be successful.

Unfortunately, I arrived too late.

I buried John last week.

He's dead? What happened?

His doctor said it was cardiac arrest,

but I knew John better than anyone.

Karate was his life.

And after he lost all his students,

it just broke his heart.

John was a hero.

He wasn't always like what you saw.

He saved my life in Vietnam.

War does something to a man.

You had to have been there

to know what I mean.

Have been.

Do know.

Man!

More medals of honour

came out of the 442nd...

...than all World War II put together.

I bet you've been there.

Is this your student? The champion?

Yeah.

Our apologies to you, too.

John had vowed

to come and apologise himself.

He planned...

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry to interrupt your training.

Mr. Silver...

...very sorry to hear about death of friend.

Me, too.

Thank you.

God, that's too bad.

Too bad, Daniel-san.

Come, we continue kata.

Hello?

- Eat yet?

- No, I haven't.

I was supposed to dine with my Aunt Pat.

She owns the shop.

She had to do some things, so I got stuck

with all this macaroni and cheese.

Macaroni and cheese?

You know what I like!

I grew up on macaroni and cheese.

I never say no

when it comes to macaroni and cheese.

- Here, have a seat.

- Thanks.

I used to eat this stuff by the ton.

I want you to try this, okay?

And be honest.

Okay.

On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it as...

...eleven.

Let's eat. I'm starved.

I hope you like this.

I'm not sure if this is

exactly what you wanted, but...

Hey, this came out great.

- Look at the tree. You got it just right.

- Good.

- Wait until Mr. Miyagi sees it.

- Do you think he'll like it?

Like it? He's gonna love it. Here.

- I have something for you.

- For me?

What is this?

The Down Stairs? What is that?

It's a dance club. Yeah, it's great.

It's got live music.

It's for the night before you go back home.

I figured it would be

a nice going-away present.

Daniel, that is so sweet.

Come on, guys. This isn't funny anymore.

Come on, turn on the lights.

Danny, I hope you got some good news

for my friend Mike here.

- I hope so too, Daniel.

- I told you.

I can't help you. Forget about it.

Where are you going?

You haven't signed the application yet.

I'm not signing the application.

I won't compete.

Take your friends and get out of here.

Dennis, he didn't sign it yet.

Come on, guys.

This is getting out of hand now.

- I'm not signing the application.

- Sure you are.

I'm not going to be there.

You're wasting your time.

- Take off, all right?

- You take off!

- Come on, Dennis, take him out!

- Put his eye out!

Come on!

Come on, punk!

Let's see what you've got!

Nice kick. Not bad.

Better. Good, but not good enough.

Come on, get up!

Why are you being so stubborn?

Don't do that!

I am running out of patience.

Now sign it and let's get on with it.

Stop it!

It's your ass!

Just get out of here!

- Save it for the tournament!

- Nail him!

Mike, come on, let's get out of here!

Come on, old man!

Mike, let's go!

Let's go! You wimp!

I'll be back, LaRusso.

I'm gonna get you.

You're finished!

You can't watch him forever, Buddha-head.

So, Daniel-san, time take Jessica home.

Yeah. Jessica, you all right?

Yeah. I just want to lie down.

I can't believe you're singing.

Forget it.

Feel lucky, Daniel-san.

Lucky? How could you feel lucky?

Feel lucky. Bonsai tree not in shop.

Safe at home.

That makes us real lucky.

I never felt luckier in my life.

Daniel-san, we can rebuild the shop.

Cannot rebuild stock.

We sell a few trees, fix shoji screen,

start over again.

What if those guys come back again?

What are we going to do then?

If they come back,

what are we going to do?

Just tell me,

what do we do if they come back?

Sing happy song.

Where are the trees?

Where'd you put the trees?

They stole them!

I can't believe it. They stole the trees.

Don't they get it?

I'm not going to sign this thing.

Mr. Miyagi, what are we going to do?

- Where are you going?

- Get fishing pole.

What?

Sometimes I don't get you.

The shop's wrecked. We've just been

robbed, and you're going fishing.

We're flat broke and you're going fishing.

You're just going to fluff it off?
