Quotes3

  • Daryl: This is it, folks. The moment we've all been waiting for. The final match to determine who will be victor and champion. Will it be Miguel Diaz from Cobra Kai Karate? Will it be Robby Keene, unaffili
  • [a female official interrupts and whispers]
  • Daryl: Daniel LaRusso's gonna coach?
  • [Female offical nods yes]
  • Daryl: Daniel LaRusso is gonna coach! I'm sorry, folks. There's been a change. Robby Keene will now be fighting for Miyagi-Do Karate with former champion Daniel LaRusso as his sensei! How about that? Good luck, gentlemen.
  • Johnny Lawrence: [Daniel and Johnny approach each other at the side of the mat] What do you think you're doing?
  • Daniel LaRusso: Coaching my student. Somebody needs to be there for him.
  • Johnny Lawrence: You think this is funny?
  • Daniel LaRusso: Do you see me laughing?
  • Johnny Lawrence: You're gonna regret this when it's over.
  • Daniel LaRusso: Yeah, right. Like this will ever be over.
  • Aisha Robinson: Well, why didn't you tell us this earlier?
  • Bert: I don't know. I guess I'm so used to seeing him drunk, it didn't seem like that big a deal.
  • Eli 'Hawk' Moskowitz: Well, we're here, and he's not. So it's officially a big deal. What if something happened to him?
  • Bert: Like what?
  • Eli 'Hawk' Moskowitz: Like he drove his car off a cliff, or he bought a gun and blew his brains out.
  • Aisha Robinson: No. Sensei would never kill himself. It's too pussy a move.
  • Eli 'Hawk' Moskowitz: Whatever. I mean, we're here. We're gonna have to do it without him.
  • Johnny Lawrence: Do what without me?
  • Aisha Robinson: Sensei.
  • Eli 'Hawk' Moskowitz: We didn't think you were gonna show up.
  • Johnny Lawrence: I may not always win, but I never back out of a fight.
  • Miguel Diaz: Great. Let's sign up.
  • Johnny Lawrence: Not yet. There's one more lesson I have to teach you.
  • [In the arena lobby]
  • Johnny Lawrence: You've all learned to strike first, to be aggressive, and not be losers. I taught you to strike hard, to put every ounce of your power behind everything you do. But I haven't taught you the third rule of Cobra Kai: No mercy. The older you get, the more you're gonna learn... that life isn't fair. You wake up one morning feeling great, and then life throws a spinning heel kick to your balls and takes a big steaming shit in your mouth. You get an F on a test. You get suspended. You fall in love with a girl, but some other dude comes and steals her away. Your car gets set on fire. Just when you think things are going good, everything falls apart. That's how it goes. Life shows no mercy; so neither do we. We do whatever it takes to keep our heads above water. We do whatever it takes to keep moving forward. We do whatever it takes to win! Remember who you are. You're badass. You don't give a shit. You kick ass. You're Cobra Kai.
  • Miguel Diaz: Cobra Kai!
  • [the Cobra Kai team yells alongside Miguel]
  • Johnny Lawrence: All right, guys, let's get down there and kick the shit out of everybody.
  • Miguel Diaz: Yeah!
  • Johnny Lawrence: [Miguel pulls out his white karate gi] No.
  • [confused look on Miguel's face]
  • Johnny Lawrence: You're not wearing those.
  • Johnny Lawrence: You want to be his father? Fine! Now who's pissed?
  • [Johnny pees on the LaRusso's numberplate]
