Quotes3

  • Johnny Lawrence: Don't add too much water. You wanna make it nice and thick.
  • Miguel Diaz: Sensei, why are we mixing cement?
  • Johnny Lawrence: No questions.
  • Miguel Diaz: All right.
  • Johnny Lawrence: Keep stirring.
  • John Kreese: Their muscles are gonna ache, sure, but if you wanna make 'em tough, you gotta give them something to be afraid of. No one is afraid of a little cement.
  • Johnny Lawrence: They will be.
  • [Johnny has his students lined up in front of a cement mixer truck]
  • Johnny Lawrence: You think winning the All Valley gives you the right to goof off? Well, I got news for you. Winning one championship don't mean squat! A true champion never stops training. You gotta keep moving forward, or else you can get stuck exactly where you are. It's like the cement in this truck. If that drum doesn't start turning, the cement inside will harden and get stuck. Is that what you want to happen to you?
  • [the students reply, "No, sensei!"]
  • Johnny Lawrence: Good. Then climb up, get inside, and make it spin.
  • [confused look on the students' faces]
  • Aisha Robinson: Sensei, we're sorry for messing around.
  • Eli 'Hawk' Moskowitz: We learned our lesson.
  • [Johnny lowers the cement mixer's ladder]
  • Johnny Lawrence: Get in!
  • Miguel Diaz: Sensei, this seems kind of dangerous. I mean, the fumes alone...
  • John Kreese: Quiet!
  • [the students look at Kreese]
  • John Kreese: This man led you to the mountain top, and you question him? Look at you. Look at all of you. I can't believe this pathetic pack of pussies competed in the All Valley let alone won. It's an absolute miracle. And who's responsible for that miracle? Johnny Lawrence. The best student in the history of Cobra Kai. My student.
  • Eli 'Hawk' Moskowitz: You were sensei's sensei?
  • John Kreese: You better believe it, kid. And I tell you I've never trained a tougher student in my whole life. So if you know what's good for you, you better listen to every goddamn word he says.
  • [long pause before Miguel steps forward]
  • Miguel Diaz: I'll do it, sensei.
  • Daniel LaRusso: Dead my ass.
  • [Daniel stares down Johnny and Kreese]
  • John Kreese: Well, what do you know? The gang's all back together. Well, almost all of us. My condolences.
  • Daniel LaRusso: You're lucky he's not here. How are your knuckles doing there, Kreese?
  • [flashback to Kreese punching through car windows]
  • Daniel LaRusso: What's this, all part of your new Cobra Kai, Johnny?
  • Johnny Lawrence: You don't know what you're talking about, man.
  • Daniel LaRusso: Yeah, right. I've seen plenty.
  • John Kreese: Well, maybe you wanna see a little bit more because this man is gonna make Cobra Kai bigger and better than ever.
  • Johnny Lawrence: What are you even doing here?
  • Daniel LaRusso: I came to ask you a question, and I got my answer. You're both in for a rude awakening.
