Quotes3

  • Frank Dux: Shingo and I were close friends. Brothers. And you and Mrs. Tanaka have treated me like a son. What will happen now?
  • Tanaka: No more training. Stop now.
  • Frank Dux: [shakes his head] But you have so much to teach.
  • Tanaka: You don't understand. During the war, I lost my first family. My son, daughter, and wife. I left Japan because of the war. War was wrong. I came to America to start over, to have a new family, and a son. For 2,000 the teachings passed, father to son, father to son. When Shingo died, it stopped.
  • Frank Dux: Teach me. I can do it.
  • Tanaka: You are not Japanese! You are not a Tanaka!
  • Frank Dux: You told me to use any tactic that works, never to commit yourself to one style, to keep an open mind!
  • Tanaka: Why?
  • Frank Dux: To honor you, shidoshi.
  • Tanaka: You cannot take Katana Sword by stealing, it is very special sword, you must earn it.
  • Young Frank: I wasn't going to steal it!
  • Tanaka: [slices off the front of Frank's hat] You didn't Flinch! You have fighting spirit!
  • Young Frank: You not gonna call the cops?
  • Tanaka: MMM, Not if we make a deal.
  • Young Frank: What kind of a deal?
  • Young Frank: How come you coach him but not me?
  • Tanaka: I brought you here to help me train my son. Don't question me!
  • Young Frank: If you expect me to be his punching bag, you can forget about our deal!
