She had a broken wing.

- She couldn't fly away.

- I don't know.

What's the matter, Julie?

- Did you lose you little birdie?

- What did you do with her?

The one that can't fly?

It might end up in a Dumpster.

What are you.... a tough guy?

- Tougher than you.

- Stop it, Eric.

- Yeah?

- Don't! Eric!

- Where's the hawk?

- I called Animal Control, McGowen.

A man came,

and he put it in a cage.

- Stop it!

- I bet you he's going to kill it...

and then he's going to stuff it.

Yeah!

- Eric, stop. Will you stop?

- Come on, man!

Stop, Eric.

Forget about him.

Oh, I am not done with you yet, McGowen.

One way or another...

we're going to finish this thing.

Hi. Hi.

Hi, Angel.

How'd they treat you in there?

Angel ready to fly.

That's impossible, Mr. Miyagi.

She's got a broken wing.

Take chance.

See what happen.

Nothing's going to happen.

Angel decide, not Julie-san.

Come on.

I told you, Mr. Miyagi, she can't

fly away. She has a broken wing.

We don't know that yet.

Now, let wind touch bird.

Maybe if you believe...

....Angel believe too.

Now release.

Okay.

Fly away, Angel.

What's wrong, Angel?

You're free. Go on. Fly away.

Sometimes,

when live in cage too long...

...whole world seem like very big place.

You're strong, Angel.

I know you are.

Fly away. Fly free.

You healed her, Mr. Miyagi.

No. Angel heal self.

But your faith give her courage to fly.

Come. We go.

I am really going to miss Angel.

I used to talk to her a lot.

I told her everything.

You lucky

you have Angel talk to.

She no talk back.

Maybe now you talk Miyagi...

or your friend, Eric.

He asked me to the senior prom.

I didn't know what to say.

What problem?

You no like boy?

Yeah, I like him...

but it's a formal dance,

and I don't have a dress.

Even if I did go,

I probably wouldn't fit in.

What would happen if they started doing

an old-fashioned waltz or something?

I don't know how to waltz.

All things possible, Julie-san.

I have to admit, though,

it was nice to get asked.

May I help you, sir?

Oh, yes.

Want to buy dress.

Formal dance-- very important.

Of course. Well, as you see,

we have all sorts of styles.

Do you like an A-line,

or do you like a tea length?

Do you like off-the-shoulder?

Miyagi like everything,

but dress not for me.

Dress for teenage girl.

Of course. Well, what kind

of a girl is she? Is she trendy...

or conservative?

We can do a silk charmeuse

or a crepe de chine.

Girl have good spinning back kick...

but need work on sword-hand block.

Yes, that's very helpful.

Is she tall?

Not too tall,

but not short.

Not fat.

Not skinny. Slender.

Like this.

Hi, Mr. Miyagi.

What are you doing?

Today we practice karate inside house.

Here, in the parlor?

Ready?

Sure.

Today Miyagi show you new kata.

Okay?

First, lead with left foot,

right punch.

Okay.

- Then Julie-san follow.

- Okay.

Side step, punch.

Punch, side step.

Feet together.

This time, Miyagi move, you counter.

Go.

Feet together.

Side.

Once more.

Right?

- Counter.

- Okay.

Feet together.

Just a minute.

Go.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

I can't believe it.

I am dancing.

Where'd you learn this?

Miyagi invent new kata

called "Karate Waltz."

Actually,

Julie-san grandpapa teach.

Was in World War Two, France.

He tell Miyagi, "You can dance.

You can fight, you can dance,

you have good footwork."

I still don't know

what I am going to wear to this thing.

Oh, yes.

Miyagi forget something.

You stay, practice.

I be right back.

Late birthday present from Miyagi.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Miyagi want you to go dance.

How'd you know my size?

That was very difficult part.

It's too bad

you never had a daughter, Mr. Miyagi.

You would have been a good parent.

Thank you.

One minute.

As a new parent,

may I have this dance?

So, you call Eric,

you tell him we go dance.

What do you mean, "we"?

Miyagi drive car.

Mr. Miyagi, it doesn't exactly

work that way.

Okay, then Mr. Miyagi stay home,

wait like anxious parent.

Okay.

Come on.

I am Eric.

I am here for Julie Pierce.

I am Eric McGowen.

Oh, yes. Honored to meet you.

Miyagi here.

I am taking Julie

to the dance tonight.

Oh, yes. Of course...

you bring her home by 10:00?

Well, see,

the dance goes to midnight.

So, why don't I bring her back

around 1:
00?

What you do for extra hour?

Well--

Treat her with respect.

Right.

Treat her with respect

for one hour.

Good.

Friend Eric here.

You can come in, Mr. Miyagi.

I wish my parents could see this.

Oh, parents watching.

I still remember what you said to me

at the monastery...

about keeping them in my heart.

It's a way to love someone

even if they're not with you.

Parents very proud...

....like Miyagi...

very happy.

Oh, Julie-san,

tonight you are beautiful woman.

Go.

Enjoy dance.

Maybe Miyagi celebrate too.

Take monks for ride on town.

See you later, guys.

- Who are those people?

- Friends.

- I like them.

- I like them too.

That is a nice dress.

You better watch the road, Eric.

You know, you look like you,

but you don't look like you.

- One way.

- You are so beautiful.

It's a one-way street, Eric!

Do you really want to do this?

"Boston Bowl"

"Boston Bowl"

Don't touch this ball, all right?

This ball cost serious money.

Sorry.

Don't understand English.

Look, don't talk either.

What the problem?

Don't breathe, don't move.

I don't want any distractions.

Perhaps we can make a small contest.

Say, buck a point?

Just a minute.

Do you believe these guys?

It will be a piece of cake.

Contest covered.

Why do they

keep their eyes closed?

It's called Zen bowling.

No have to see pins,

only have to think about target.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

I am sorry.

Sorry for what?

For getting you in trouble

with Ned and his friends.

You're worth it.

Yeah!

Look!

Help me get him down.

You all right?

- I hit my arm.

- Yeah?

Whose idea was this?

Ned's.

Dugan said it would be all right.

Leave him alone, McGowen.

This is real smart, Ned.

I think you broke your buddy's arm here.

At least he was

brave enough to try it.

Why don't you

Just mind your business?

- You're okay, right?

- Yeah.

- Those guys are idiots.

- Right here, McGowen.

- Oh, yeah?

- Don't fight.

Jerk.

McGowen just challenged me.

I am not letting him

get away with this.

Absolutely.

None of this would have happened

if it hadn't been for me.

What?

What are you talking about?

Hey, listen,

I am glad this happened.

Forget about Dugan.

I don't need him.

I am going to live my life my way.

Sometimes that's difficult.

Not when I am with you.

So, Mr. Miyagi is teaching you karate?

- Yeah, a little.

- Yeah?

So, if I try to kiss you,

will you use it?

- The sun is warm. The grass is green.

- What?

Nothing.

What was that?

Let's go, McGowen.

Are you all right?

I will see you at the docks, McGowen...

....if you're brave enough to go.

- You all right? Look at this.

- Yeah. Let's call the police.
