- [as Daniel enters his car, he remembers the night Mr. Miyagi gave him one of his old cars as a birthday gift]
- Mr. Miyagi: Daniel-san, you remember lesson about balance?
- Daniel LaRusso: Yeah.
- Mr. Miyagi: Lesson not just... karate only. Lesson for all life. All life have balance. Everything be better. Understand?
- Daniel LaRusso: Yeah. I understand.
- [Daniel visits Mr. Miyagi's grave]
- Daniel LaRusso: Hey, Mr. Miyagi. I know it's been a few months, but... better late than never, right?
- [pause]
- Daniel LaRusso: I've been thinking about you a lot lately, but I, um... you know, it's funny. When I was a kid, you... seemed to always have all the answers. And I guess I thought when I got older, I'd had it all figured out too. But now, I guess... like I'm clueless. Makes me wonder, was it different for you or were you just better at hiding it? Maybe that was it, huh?
- [starts trimming the bonsai tree next to the grave]
- Daniel LaRusso: I feel like lately I've let my anger take control. You know me, I've always been a bit of a hothead, so...
- [pause]
- Daniel LaRusso: I really wish you'd be here.
