Yeah.

Make like picture.

Just trust the picture.

How do I know my picture's the right one?

If come from inside you,

always the right one.

Hi.

Hi, Ma, come on in.

- You fixed your bike.

- Mr. Miyagi fixed it.

Great, thank you.

- How much do we owe you?

- No, please.

My pleasure.

That's very nice.

Hi, champ.

Hey.

- What are you doing?

- I'm trimming my baby tree.

Bonsai tree.

Bonsai tree.

Bonsai.

Bonsai.

They're beautiful.

Mr. Miyagi learned it in Okinawa.

That's where he's from.

Really?

They're so delicate.

For me?

No, I couldn't.

Please, hurt feelings.

That's very nice, thank you.

- Welcome.

- I know just where it will go.

Come on, it's getting late.

- I'll be up in a half hour.

- No, now. School tomorrow.

- Thank you for everything.

- You're welcome.

Don't forget tree.

Must practice.

Thank you.

- Sayonara.

- Sayonara.

- Goodnight.

- Thanks again. See you.

Ma, he gave you the nicest one.

This guy is something else.

You saw what he did to my bike.

This guy is great.

- Happy Halloween. You like?

- Yeah, that's nice.

Passed school today. Lots happening.

What's the matter? You're not going?

No.

How come?

I'm not into dancing that much.

I don't feel like it, anyway.

You're too much by self. Not good.

I'm not by myself.

I'm with you.

To make honey, young bee

need young flower, not old prune.

I don't have a costume, anyway.

If have costume...

...you go?

If I went as the Invisible Man.

Invisible Man?

You know, so no one would see me.

There's Daniel.

- Where?

- In the shower.

- How do you know?

- I just know.

May I?

- I don't know what she sees in him.

- She must be into fungus.

Help me, my flower needs water.

You've come to the right place, stranger.

- I've never danced in a shower.

- A friend of mine made this for me.

Isn't it great?

Where have you been hiding?

I haven't been hiding.

- I haven't seen you around.

- You been looking?

- Sort of.

- Sort of?

I thought you were still angry with me.

- Why?

- Because of what I said last time I saw you.

I've been thinking a lot about that.

I should learn to mind my own business.

No, I think you're right about facing things.

I feel the same way.

I just kind of forgot for a while.

- Thanks for reminding me.

- You're welcome.

He thinks he can do

whatever he wants to people.

- Who?

- Johnny.

I'd love to see him get some

of his own medicine.

What goes around comes around.

- I'd love to be there when it does.

- Me, too.

You want to go outside?

You talked me into it.

- That chicken is wild!

- That guy's using real eggs!

He's great!

No!

Johnny!

Johnny!

- Got that number rolled?

- In a minute.

I'm going to get the guys. Hurry up.

Sh*t!

Move, man!

Johnny, what's up?

Get out of my way!

- What's wrong?

- It's coming around.

Get up!

Get out of my way!

What the hell are you doing?

Get out of the way!

You ain't going nowhere.

You little wimp!

You couldn't leave well enough alone,

could you, little twerp?

No, you had to push it.

Well, now you're gonna pay!

Where are you going, sweetheart?

How about a front kick, Johnny?

Get him up.

- He's had enough.

- Shut up!

- He can't even stand up.

- That don't mean squat.

- Johnny, he's had enough.

- I'll decide when he's had enough.

What's wrong with you, Johnny?

- An enemy deserves no mercy.

- Right!

You're crazy, man!

Get him!

Daniel-san.

Come.

Leave on.

- It stinks. What is it?

- Smell bad, heal good.

- Where did Spider-Man go?

- Who?

The guy who bailed me out.

Where'd he go?

What, you?

- No way.

- Why "no way"?

- Because...

- Because, old man?

Have tea.

Feel better.

Why didn't you tell me?

- Tell you what?

- That you do karate.

- You never ask.

- Where'd you learn it?

Father.

I thought he was a fisherman.

In Okinawa, all Miyagi know two things:

Fish and karate.

Karate come from China, 16th century.

Called "te," hand.

Much later...

...Miyagi ancestors call "karate,"

empty hand.

I always thought it came

from Buddhist temples.

You, too much TV.

That's what my mother tells me.

- Have you ever taught anyone?

- No.

Would you?

- It depend.

- On what?

Reason.

How's revenge?

You look for revenge that way,

start by digging two graves.

At least I'd have company, right?

Fighting always last answer to problem.

Mr. Miyagi, I don't think

you understand my problem.

Miyagi understand problem perfect.

Your friend all karate student?

Friends? Yeah, those guys.

Problem attitude.

The problem is I keep getting

my ass kicked.

Because boys have bad attitude.

Karate for defence only.

That's not what these guys are taught.

I can see.

No such thing bad student,

only bad teacher.

Teacher say, student do.

Great, that solves everything.

I'll go to the school and straighten it out

with the teacher.

Now use head

for something other than target.

- I was only kidding.

- Why kidding?

I get killed if I show up there.

Get killed anyway.

Would you go with me?

No, I can't.

Why? You said it was a good idea.

For you, good idea.

For me, good idea no get involved.

But you're already involved.

- Very sorry.

- What?

Thanks for nothing then.

Like I didn't have enough problems already.

Now I've got to carry your weight, too.

Don't do me any more favours.

- Daniel-san.

- What?

Okay, I go.

- Excellent, Mr. Miyagi.

- Miyagi.

Miyagi.

What kind of belt do you have?

Canvas.

You like?

J.C. Penney. $3.98.

I meant...

In Okinawa a belt means

no need rope hold up pants.

That's funny.

- Daniel-san.

- What?

Karate here.

Karate here.

Karate never here.

You understand?

I think so.

Goodnight, Daniel-san.

Goodnight, Mr. Miyagi. Miyagi!

Tomorrow morning?

Thanks for helping me out

with my friends out there.

- Good morning, Mr. Miyagi.

- How do you feel?

- A little sore.

- You know how drive?

Yeah, I do.

- No, I'm not very good at it.

- Me neither.

I don't have a licence.

Me neither.

I guess it's okay then.

You lose concentration

in a fight and you're dead meat!

- Yes, Sensei.

- What?

Yes, Sensei!

Get up!

Give me 60 pushups on your knuckles.

Combat!

Brown. Robertson.

On guard.

Point. Round kick.

What are you looking at? Finish him!

Return.

Prepare.

We do not train to be merciful, here.

Mercy is for the weak.

Here, on the street, in competition...

...a man confronts you, he is the enemy.

An enemy deserves no mercy.

What is the problem, Mr. Lawrence?

Come on, let's forget this.

Wait, not yet.

Class, we have visitors. Fall in behind me.

I hear you jumped

some of my students last night.

Afraid the facts mixed up.

Are you calling him a liar?

No call no one nothing.

What are you here for, old man?

Come ask leave boy alone.

Can't the boy take care of himself?

One-to-one problem, yes.

Five-to-one problem, too much ask anyone.

Is that what's bothering you, the odds?

Well, we can fix that.

- Feel like matching, Mr. Lawrence?

- Yes, Sensei!

No more fighting.
