The Karate Kid Page #6

Hey, pretty good?

Look at this.

Wait. Daniel-san.

What do you think?

I tell you what Miyagi think,

I think you dance around too much.

I think you talk too much.

I think you no concentrate enough.

Lots of work to be done.

Tournament just around corner.

Come, stand up.

Steady, concentrate. Focus power.

Drive a punch.

Drive a punch, Daniel-san.

"Happy birthday to you

"Happy birthday to you

"Happy birthday, dear Daniel-san

"Happy birthday to you"

Make wish.

I know what I'm wishing for.

Very good.

Number one birthday present.

Mr. Miyagi, what did you do?

You didn't have to do this.

What is this? I have no idea.

Mr. Miyagi, this is great.

Where did this come from?

Mrs. Miyagi make, long time ago.

If you ever want this patch back,

I'll understand.

I know you understand.

Try on.

This is beautiful. This is great.

Do you think I stand a chance

at the tournament?

Not matter what Miyagi think.

Miyagi not fighting.

I don't know if I know enough karate.

Feeling correct.

You sure know how to make

a guy feel confident.

You trust the quality of what you know,

not quantity.

Today you get driver's licence?

Yeah, look at this.

Check that out.

"Daniel LaRusso."

Congratulations.

Thanks. The kid's legal, now.

I never know you have sweetheart.

No, I don't.

Look good together.

Different, but same.

No. Different, but different.

Too bad mother not here.

Shoot!

- Shoot! Damn!

- What's matter?

I've got to go. My mother

is making a surprise cake for me.

- Miyagi understand.

- I wasn't supposed to know. Damn it.

- That's okay.

- I'm sorry.

Miyagi once have mother, too.

Go outside. Something show you.

- What?

- Number two present.

Number two present?

You don't have to give me anything.

You've given me enough already.

No really, I'm serious.

Choose.

Oh, no.

Hurt old man feeling.

- Choose.

- Oh, wow.

I can't believe it.

What a gift!

Oh, boy.

Just remember:

A licence never replace eye, ear and brain.

What matter?

I'm just scared.

The tournament and everything.

You remember lesson about balance?

Yeah.

Lesson not just karate only.

Lesson for whole life.

Whole life have a balance.

Everything be better.

Understand?

Yeah, I understand.

Oh, wow.

You're the best friend I ever had.

You...

...pretty okay, too.

Go.

Go find the balance.

- Banzai, Daniel-san!

- Banzai!

I give up. Don't shoot! No.

- Don't leave me. I'm wounded.

- Good, maybe you'll die.

- I just wanted to apologise.

- Fine, you apologised.

- I got my licence.

- Whoop-dee-doo.

- What's with you?

- What do you expect? Cartwheels?

I just expected some courtesy,

or is that only for people with fancy cars?

Can't you take a hint?

Does the truth hurt?

- You really think that's it?

- I know it is.

- You're wrong.

- I bet I'm wrong.

I didn't go out with you

because of a car or where you live.

Okay, while we're on the subject,

why did you then?

Why did you?

I thought maybe you and me

were different.

I'm from Reseda, you're from the hills,

that's how we're different.

Admit that you just can't handle

the situation the way it is.

I can handle it fine. You can't.

What makes you so sensitive?

She's never been anything but nice to you.

- She used me to make him jealous.

- She doesn't even like him.

Who could tell, the way their faces

were stuck together at the country club?

Right, you didn't stick around

for the exciting conclusion.

- What, his hand on her ass?

- Her right hook.

You think she sprained her wrist

doing her nails?

- She hit him?

- That's an understatement.

- Why didn't she say something?

- She shouldn't have to, should she?

Hey, slugger.

Look, I'm a jerk.

You are a jerk.

So, am I forgiven?

I don't hear anything.

Sounds like a "yes" to me.

Come here.

I guess you know

about the tournament tomorrow.

Who doesn't?

Dumb move, huh?

Not necessarily.

I don't have much of a cheering section.

You got me.

I'll probably get killed in the first match.

So, we'll leave early.

- I've got something to show you.

- What?

- How do you like it?

- Is it yours? Are you serious?

- It's beautiful.

- It sure is.

- My God.

- Here you go.

- You want me to drive?

- It's the '80s!

- To start, you push that button.

- You're incredible.

Press the clutch.

Get the lights, no that one.

Good. Down is first. Let it out slow.

Hold on!

This is awesome. How fast does it go?

Let's not find out.

- What belt are you?

- Why matter?

This is open division,

it's only for brown belt or above.

Boy black belt.

You'd better hustle. They're starting.

Down the hall, to your left.

- I'll see you inside.

- Okay.

Excuse me, Mr. Referee.

This is not "Miyaji." Miyagi.

Miyagi.

Okay, thank you.

Well, look who we have here.

Our little friend Danielle.

Hello, Danielle.

What's the matter?

Mommy not here to dress you?

I'm talking to you, punk.

Come on, make a move.

Hey, save it for the ring.

Come on!

- All right.

- Let's go.

Come on.

Points or no points...

...you're dead meat.

I said out!

Dead meat.

Way to go, I think he's gonna cry.

The winner of the first match

in the open division is Rufus Schneider.

- Mr. Miyagi.

- Hurry. Tournament starting.

Where'd we get this?

Daniel LaRusso...

- Buddha provide.

- ... please report to Ring 3.

- Where's Ring 3?

- Over there.

Hold it! Sorry, teachers and students only.

He doesn't speak English...

...and I can't understand his instructions

without her. She's his translator.

- What did he say?

- You remind him of his uncle in Tokyo.

- I guess it's okay. What?

- He says you're very kind.

- Thank you.

- Welcome.

- What are the rules here?

- I don't know.

First time you, first time me.

I figured you knew about this stuff.

I figured you went to these before.

Great, I'm dead.

- You told me you fought a lot.

- For life, not for points.

Everything above your waist is a point.

You can hit the head, sternum,

kidneys, ribs. Got it?

- I hope so.

- You can do it.

When are you jerks going to grow up?

- Where am I, over here at this one?

- Number 3.

- What's that guy kneeling for?

- I don't know.

- Don't you know anything?

- Don't get hit.

Face. Bow. On guard.

Fight.

Back on your line.

Be tough, Daniel.

Come on, be tough.

Remember your defence. Points coming.

Concentrate. Focus power.

Remember balance. Make good fight.

Run out of the ring once more,

it'll cost you a point.

On guard. Ready?

That's one, Daniel, come on.

One more!

Move back on your line.

That's one point, round kick.

Daniel, you're the best!

You're dead!

Point! Winner!

Winner!

- It must be tight.

- Yeah, right there.

- I never thought I'd get this far.

- Make two of us.

Wouldn't it be great if I won?

- It'd be great if you survive.

- What do you mean "survive"?

- I'm fine as long as I don't move.

- You've got to move now, they're starting.

Are they starting now?

What do you mean "survive"?
