(Children chattering)
Lucille: Tony, don't forget to tell uncle Louie
that I left the red wine and the parmesan
in the refrigerator, all right.
- Bye-bye. - Daniel: Okay.
Bye, Judy.
Judy: Send me a picture.
I'll be back soon. Don't worry about it.
Lucille: Be careful. Be careful, now.
Judy: Bye.
Daniel: Take it easy now.
All: Bye!
(Children chattering)
All: Bye!
(Children continue chattering)
Lucille: (Singing) California, here we come
oh, come on, Daniel.
What's the matter? You don't like my singing?
Daniel: I don't like the song, ma.
You're gonna love California.
You get up in the morning, you roll out of bed.
Plop. You're in your swimming pool.
Yeah, sure.
All right. You'll see.
You know, this isn't exactly a dump we're moving to, you know.
Lucille: Push, Daniel. Push!
Give it all you got, kid. Come on, push it!
Push!
Okay, okay, we got it! Got it!
Come on, come on, come on, get in, get in. Hurry up!
(Car engine revving)
We did it again. Way to go!
Lucille: Daniel.
Daniel! Come on, wake up.
Look off the starboard bow.
(Laughing) Paradise at last!
Oh, we made it.
Come on. This is it.
This is the end of the line.
You're telling me.
Come on. All hands on deck.
We got to get this thing unloaded before it sinks.
Look at those palm trees!
Damn! Do you know what that means?
Yeah. Watch out for falling coconuts.
Wise guy. No more Newark winters!
I like winters, ma.
Oh, you like sore throats?
You like frozen toes?
I don't like smog.
Did I tell you about the pool here?
About 100 times, ma.
Okay, so make it 101.
Open your eyes, my darling son.
This is the garden of Eden.
Come on.
Listen, we're in apartment 20, okay?
One flight up.
Eeeyah!
(Freddy grunts)
Oh. Are you okay?
Yeah. No, I'm okay. No, don't worry about it.
- Have a hand up, man. - Thanks.
You all right? I shouldn't have done that.
- Yeah, sure. Don't worry about it. - That was stupid. You all right?
So you got to be the new people in apartment 20, right?
Oh, yeah. I guess so.
Hey, Freddy Fernandez. Apartment 17.

Hey, how you doing? Hey, let me help you.
Oh, no, no. It's okay.
I got it. Don't worry about it.
It's fine. It's heavy. It's heavy, man. Yeah.
Hey, where are you from?
New Jersey.
What you doing out here?
My mom got a job with some company out here.
Rockets, computers, flight of the future.
I don't know.
Never heard of it. (Chuckles)
It's up-and-coming.
Is this the only pool you guys got here?
Yeah, that's it.
Hey, what was that? Karate?
What? Oh, yeah.
Yeah? Been doing it long?
A while.
Ever use it?
A couple of times, you know.
Freddy: Bet you can kick some ass, huh?
Yeah, I'd like to learn someday.
Maybe you could teach me sometime.
Okay, sure, that's cool. Anytime.
Oh, great.
This place is a dump. You should go back to New Jersey.
How'd you know I was from Jersey?
'Cause I'm from New Jersey. I got a nose for my own.
Well, what part?
Parsippany.
Parsippany?
Never should have left.
Yeah. I got an uncle Louie from parsippany.
Louie fontini?
No, Louie larusso.
Louie larusso? Yeah.
- Don't know him. - (Chuckles)
Hey, pup. Hey, pup. How are you doing, boy?
You thirsty, hun?
(Whispers) She's crazy.
What?
She's not playing with a full deck, man.
Aw, she's nice.
Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?
What? I don't know. I guess nothing.
Hey, we're having a beach party, sort of, "adios, summer."
You wanna come?
Yeah, sure, that's cool.
Hey, great. I'll come get you in the morning, all right?
All right, all right, that's cool.
Hey, here's apartment 20, man.
Oh, this is it?
Yeah. Should I leave this here?
Yeah, yeah. Hey, thanks for the help.
Hey, no problem. Nice meeting you, all right?
Appreciate it. You, too.
Take care. I'll see you tomorrow morning.
- Okay, all right. - Bye, then.
Please don't say anything about the pool.
I will call first thing in the morning.
Hey, ma, did you tell that old lady with the dog downstairs
where we were from?
Yeah. Didn't she remind you of aunt tessy?
Aunt tessy? More like uncle Louie, really.
(Chuckles) You know, I really think we're gonna do good here.
I have a very positive feeling.
I'm telling you, Daniel.
I just know it's gonna work.
Oh, the faucet's broken.
Oh, the real estate lady said that there's a fix-it guy around here.
See if you can find him, okay?
Okay.
What's that for?
This? Oh, uncle Louie's dog.
Oh, he's cute.
Oh, ma, I got invited to a party tomorrow.
That's great. You see?
Yeah, I know, but you wanted me to help you unpack.
I don't remember saying anything about that.
Great. I must have you mixed up with somebody else then.
Thanks, ma.
Hey, can you tell me where the maintenance guy is?
Hey, pup. Here you go.
Yeah, you go in through there,
turn left, not too far,
then right. Go inside.
You'll find him on the left.
All right. So I go right, then left.
No, no. Left, then right, then inside on the left.
(Whistles)
(Knocks)
Hello?
(Knocks)
Hey, you the maintenance man?
Hal.
Yeah, we're the new people in apartment 20.
Yeah. Our faucet's really leaking there.
Well, can you come fix it?
Hal.
Well, can I tell my mom when?
When, what?
When you're gonna fix the faucet.
After.
After what?
After! After!

Freddy: Hey, Danny. Hey, Danny.
What? What?
I think the blonde is looking at you.
Oh, yeah, right.
I'm serious. I think she has the hots for you, man.
Oh, who could blame her? Right, Freddy?
Oh, yeah? Then why don't you make a move?
No, I'm eating, man.
How could you think about eating, man? Go make a move.
I'm hungry.
Maybe they ain't got no moves where he comes from.
No, I got moves where I come from. Yeah, yeah...
We have more moves back there than here...

Yeah.

All right, all right. I'm going. I'm going.
All: Go get her. Go get her.
Come on.
I'm going, okay?
Hey, did you lose something?
Yeah. I hope we're not bothering you.
Hey, how do you, uh, how do you juggle?
Oh, it's pretty easy.
It's... you just... I start with my knee.
You just go one. You know, one at a time. One.
And then you try, two. One, two.

Try it. Just bring your leg up. One. Good!
(All hooting)
All right!
That was awesome!
Brew time, man! Who's for a warm one? Here you go.
- No, I pass, man. - Hey, Bobby.
No, thanks, pal.
Johnny, who are you kidding? You're still the Ace degenerate.
No, ex-degenerate, man.
8:00 A.M. tomorrow, I'm a senior.
I've got one year to make it all work.
And that's what I'm gonna do. Make it work.
All of it, right?
That's right, man.
Hey, you must be a trendsetter, Johnny.
Looks like everyone's doing something new.
- What? - Take a right. Check it out.
(Ali exclaims)
Hey, Johnny, forget it, man. It's ancient history.
Who told you, man?
Johnny!
Hey, man, I thought they broke up.
She did. He didn't.
(Bikes revving)
Here, come on. Try it.
Yeah. Watch this.
Oh. Well, I'll get it. I'll be right back.
Those were the nights
dancing around the street light
you were in my eye
we were a team racing to a night dream
radio played on
(all chattering)
Johnny: Hey, Ali, I want to talk to you.
Ali: You just leave me alone.
We've been over all this, all right?
I don't want to talk.
Well, I want to talk to you, all right?
(Music stops playing)
(Music starts playing)
- (Music stops playing) - What is your problem?
Look, why don't you take your cobra kais and get out of here?
Oh, yeah, right. And that's gonna solve everything.
- Give me my radio. - No.
I said, give me my radio!
Johnny: You promise you'll talk? You promise?
Ali: Yes, just give me my radio. Yes.
(Radio starts playing)
You just break my radio?
Yeah. Yeah.
Don't touch it, punk.
What are you, deaf?
Oh, man. What's going on?
You want it?
Yeah, just give it...
You got it!
Cobra members: All right!
(All chattering)
- Freddy: Come on, Daniel. - Come on.
(Grunts)
Ali: Johnny, stop it, will you? Please... don't...
All: Yeah!
Stop it! Stop it!
I didn't do anything.
Toro! Huh, toro.
(Grunts)
(Groans)
You're a big man now, huh?
Look, you started this.
All wanted to do was talk to you.
Then just leave him alone and we'll go talk.
Yeah. Where did I hear that before?
How about you, hero? You have enough?
All: Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay, man. Now we're even, huh?
No mercy, man. No mercy.
(Grunts)
(All shouting)
Cobra member: Come on, Johnny. Come on now.
Let go of me!
Why don't you hit me?
You think you're gonna make me feel better, huh?
- It's your fault. - It's not my fault.
- It's your fault. - Everything is your fault!
Why do you have to always fight, huh?
Bullshit. Get on your bikes, guys.
(Daniel moans)
Far out, man.
(Coughs)
Boy 1: You sure pick cool people to be friends with, Freddy.
Boy 2: Where did you find this guy?
Come on, let's go. He'll be all right.
(Sighs)
Are you okay?
Oh, just leave me alone.
Uh, just...
(Stuttering) I'll help you.
No, just leave me alone. I'm okay.
Just leave me alone.
Come on, Ali. Let's go.
Come on, it's better if we leave him alone.
Come on.
(Bike engines revving)
Come on.
Come on. Let's go.
Lucille: Daniel.
En!
Daniel: Hi, ma.
How was the party?
It was okay.
It must have been more than okay.
I didn't even hear you come home.
Any friend material?
Yeah, some. Couple of guys. I got to go.
Sit down and eat first.
No, I'm not hungry.
Come on, you need energy to be charming.
I'm fine, I'm telling you. I got energy.
Do me a favor.
- What? - Take off the glasses.
Why?
Because I asked you to.
Come on, ma. It's California. It's the look...
Come on, take them off. I want to see your baby browns.
Ma, come on with the baby browns.
Are you on something?
Yeah, ma. Minute maid...
Why are you hiding your eyes?
I'm not hiding my eyes, ma. Come on...
- Then take off the glasses. Now. - Ma, come on.
Oh, my god. How did that happen, huh?
What happened?
I hit a curb with my bike and it hit me.
I wore the glasses 'cause I didn't want you to worry. It looks worse...
Don't do that. It's gonna make it worse.
- Ma, it doesn't hurt. - Can you see?
- I can see fine, all right. - Do you wanna stay home from school?
No, no, I got to go.
(Cruel summer playing)
Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
strange voices are saying
chorus: What did they say?
Things I can't understand
it's too close for comfort
this heat has got right out of hand
(whistle blowing)
It's a cruel, cruel summer
(people chattering)
Daniel: Hey, guys! Freddy, how you doing?
Hey, karate kid.
Let's see the moves.
(Guffaws)
Come on, man. He knows how to get his butt kicked.
Hey, I already know that move.
Come on, let's get out of here. Let's get out of here.
Hey, think fast.
(Chuckles)
How you doing?
Ooh, your eye.
Oh, don't worry. It looks worse than it feels, believe me.
Yeah, I hope so.
Listen, I never got a chance to thank you.
Oh, no. That was nothing.
I'm just sorry about your radio.
Yeah, I'm more sorry about your eye.
I mean, I guess you should've just given it to him.
Why? It wasn't his, right?
Yeah, it wasn't his.
- See that? We think alike already. - (Chuckles)
You know what else we do alike?
(Chuckles)
- Hey, you've been practicing. - (Laughs)
Girl: Cheerleaders, over here.
Oh, I got to go.
I'll see you.
Okay. Bye.
Bye-bye. Hey, you got a name?
Ali, with an "I."
Hey, what's your name?
Daniel, with an "I."
(Chuckles)
I'll see you later.
(Giggles)
Definitely.
It's a cruel, cruel summer
now you're gone
(whistle blows)
Cheerleaders: Fight, win! Touchdown!
Go, fight, win! Touchdown!
Go, fight, win!
(All cheering)
(Whistle blows)
Boy 1: Get him hard. Get him...
Daniel: I got him. I got him.
(Boys chattering)
Where are you?
(Daniel grunts)
Have a nice trip?
(Whistle blows)
Boy 2: Coach, look what he's doing. Look what he's doing to Bobby!
Hey, nobody hits me! I'm gonna tear your face off! I'm gonna kill him.
Kill him, Bobby! Kill him.
Get out! There's no place on this team for that kind of crap.
Well, he hooked me, man!
I said, out of here!
What are you looking at? Back to it. Let's go.
This school sucks, man!
Coach: I said, out of here.
It sucks!
(Cheerleaders continue cheering)
Cheerleaders: Go, fight, win! Touchdown!
Go, fight, win! Touchdown!
Daniel: Two, three, four,
five, six, seven...
Fix faucet.
Oh, yeah, come on in. It's the kitchen one.

(Panting)
One, two...
(Students chattering)
Hi.
Hey, Ali with an "1." How you doing?
Good.
Not too hungry today.
Hmm, not really.
Here, have some pie. I made it myself.
Yeah?
So, how do you like the valley so far?
Well, it hasn't been dull.
Was Newark dull?
How'd you know I was from Newark?
I asked.
Oh, really?
You sitting with anybody?
With you, if it's okay.
Sounds great to me. You want some milk?
Yeah, thanks.
Listen, I'm sorry about the soccer tryouts.
Those are the breaks, you know.
No, you remember that guy I had trouble with on the beach?
Oh, yeah. King karate?
Yeah. That was my ex-boyfriend.
Oh, that's good to know. What?
What? Oh, yeah, you're right. You're right. I know...
What are you doing?
It's just this little voice, you know.
It's telling me I got to be some kind of a yo-yo
to be talking to you right now.
That'll be $2.50.
Wait, for both.
$3.75.
Yeah, well, it doesn't matter, anyway.
Why is that?
Because it's over.
It's over? Wait. How over?
Weeks.
Weeks. One week? Five weeks? How many weeks is "weeks"?
(Inaudible)
John: Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it?
Students: No, sensei!
Pain does not exist in this dojo, does it?
No, sensei!
Defeat does not exist in this dojo, does it?
No, sensei!
Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it?
No, sensei!
Pain does not exist in this dojo, does it?
No, sensei!
Defeat does not exist in this dojo, does it?
No, sensei!
Prepare!
(Yells)
What do we study here?
Students: The way of defense, sir!
And what is that way?
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy, sir!
I can't hear you!
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy, sir!
Mr. Lawrence.
Johnny: Yes, sensei.
John: Warm them up.
(Johnny uttering karate cries)
Johnny: Fighting positions!
Jab punch. Ready!
(Students uttering karate cries)
(Car honking)
Guess what?
What?
I'm gonna be trained as a manager.
Isn't that great?
Yeah.
They got this program. It's two nights a week.
As soon as a spot opens up, you're in.
And the benefits... I could never get them working in computers.
They pay for everything.
That's great, ma.
What's the matter, Daniel?
Nothing.
(Sighs)
Okay. Remember when you went to the country for the summer
and you hated it because you had no friends? What happened?
I got poison Ivy.
You met Kevin and Kenny
who became your best friends in the whole world.
You got to give it a try.
Hey, I know it's hard, but we're not quitters, are we?
(Clicking tongue) I guess not.
What's with the karate place?
No, it sucks.
Good, because we probably couldn't afford it, anyway.
And the girl situation?
It's okay.
Just okay?
To me, it looks like the whole world turned blonde.
You got your eye on anybody?
Ah. Cute?
No, not cute.
She's... I mean, she's beyond cute.
But she's blonde, though. Right?
Yeah. She's got blonde hair.
Woman: Lucille, let's go. Here they come.
Is she... is she as pretty as Judy?
Oh, ma, she buries Judy in a second.
She buries Judy?
Oh, god.
Listen, you'll tell me about it later. I love you.
Careful how you ride home.
Smile. She's got an excellent smile.
She's really smart.
(Sighs)
I don't know, I'd say she's beautiful. I think she's beautiful.
I think she's something else.
She's hot. Definitely hot.
(Laughs)
(Crickets chirping)
Bobby: Looking for a shortcut back to Newark, Daniel?
Johnny: No, he wants to learn karate.
Well, here's your first lesson.
How to take a fall.
Hey, what're you doing?
Bobby: Hey, don't think about the pain.
(All laughing)
(Grunts)
(Groans)
(Sighs)
(Grunting) This damn bike. I hate this bike.
I hate this frigging bike! This stupid bike!
God, I hate it.
- Daniel, what's the matter? - Nothing.
Why did you throw your bike away?
Because I felt like it, ma.
Hey, look at me when I'm talking to you.
Oh, my god!
Ma...
Oh, my god. Would you tell me what's goin' on here
and don't tell me about another bike accident.
What do you want to hear, ma?
I want to hear the truth.
No, you don't want to hear the truth.
All you want to hear is how great it is out here.
Well, maybe it's great for you, but it sucks for me!
I hate this place! I hate it.
I just want to go home!
Why can't we just go back home?
(Grunts)
Listen to me. “What?
I cannot help you unless you tell me what's wrong.
I got to take karate, that's it!
You took karate.
No, not in that... not in that...
Not at the y. A good school.
Fighting doesn't solve anything.
Well, neither does palm trees, ma.
That's not fair.
Yeah? Like it was fair coming out here
without asking me how I felt about it, right.
That was really fair.
You're right.
I should have asked.
Yeah, well, I just want to go home. That's it.
I don't understand the rules here. I want to go.
Let's see if we can figure out the rules together, okay?
What about your bike?
It's safer taking the bus.
Why can't we just go home?
Why can't we just go home and forget this place?
Yeah. I'll tell you everything he said.
You better.
- Bye. Bye. - Bye. See you.
I am the river man taking on a fantasy
hey.
- Hi. - How you doing?
Ooh, what happened to your forehead?
Oh, it was terrible.
It was this gigantic, runaway zit.
That's gross.
(Laughing)
Daniel, this is Susan.
- Hi. - Charmed.
Now, come on, what really happened?
I got in a bike accident, but I'm okay.
- Yeah? - Yeah, I'm fine.
What kind of bike do you have, Daniel? Honda? Suzuki? What?
No, it's a, like, a miyaji turbo, actually.
Yeah?
Oh, really?
Well, we're going to the arcade. You want to come?
Yeah, sure. Sounds great to me.
Check out this new game I want to show you.
I just remembered I got to...
(Stuttering) I got to... I forgot something.
So I'll catch up with you guys in a minute, okay?
Daniel, you don't have to run away.
I'm not running away from anything.
Hey, look, we've got to deal with it.
You deal with things your way, I'll deal with them mine, okay?
I'll see you. I got to go.
Daniel...
Get off my case!
(Crickets chirping)
(Knocking on door)
Did you fix my bike?
Hal.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Yeah. I really appreciate that.
Are those real trees?
You like see, come inside.

Clip here, tie there.
Where did you learn how? Japan?
Okinawa.
Where's that?
My country.
China, here. Japan, here. Okinawa, here.
You go to school for this?
Father teach.
Was he a gardener?
Fisherman.
Fisherman?
These are really beautiful.
Come. You try.
No, I don't know how to do this stuff.
No, no, no. Sit down.
No, no, I may mess it up. I don't want to mess it up or something.
Close eye.
Trust.
Concentrate.
Think only tree.
Make a perfect picture down to last pine needle.
Wipe your mind clean everything but tree.
Nothing exists whole world.
Only tree.
You got it?
Open eye.
Remember picture?
Yeah.
Make like picture.
Just trust picture.
But how do I know if my picture's the right one?
If come from inside you, always right one.
Hi.
Hey, ma. Come on in.
You fixed your bike.
No, no, Mr. miyaji fixed it.
Oh, wow. Great. Thank you.
How much do we owe you?
Oh, no, please. My pleasure.
That's very nice.
Hiya, champ.
Hey.
What are you doing?
I'm trimming my baby tree here.
Bonsai tree.
Banzai tree.
Bonsai.
They're beautiful.
Yeah, Mr. miyaji learned it in okinawa.
That's where he's from.
Really? It's so delicate.
For me?
Oh, no, I couldn't.
Oh, please. Hurt feeling.
That's very nice. Thank you.
You're welcome.
I know just where it'll go.
Come on. It's getting late.
All right, ma. I'll be up in half an hour.
No, we got to go now. School tomorrow.
Thank you for everything.
You're welcome.
Oh. Don't forget the tree. Must practice.
Thank you.
Sayonara.
Good night.
Hey, thanks again. I'll see you.
Hey, ma, you know, he gave you the nicest one.
- I know. - This guy's something else.
Did you see... You saw what he did to my bike.
This guy's great.
Girl: Hi.
(People chattering)
Oh, Daniel-San. Happy Halloween. You like?
Yeah, that's nice.
How school today? Lot's happening.
What's the matter? You not going?
Daniel: Nah.
How come?
I'm not into dancing that much.
I don't feel like it, anyway.
Oh, Daniel-San, you too much by self. Not good.
I'm not by myself. I'm with you.
To make honey, young bee need young flower, not old prune.
I don't have a costume, anyway.
If have costume, you go?
Yeah, maybe if I went as the invisible man.
"Invisible man"?
Yeah, you know, so no one would see me.
Oh.
Lookin' for you, impatiently
past hasn't been easy for me
I've been so far away
hey, there's Daniel.
Where?
The shower.
How do you know?
I just know. May I?
Don't know what she sees in him.
She must be into fungus.
Ali: Help me! Help me! My flower needs water!
Hey, you've come to the right place, stranger.
Yeah, I've never danced in a shower before.
I had a friend of mine make this for me.
It's fun.
Isn't it great?
So, where have you been hiding?
Well, I haven't been hiding.
No, I haven't seen you around.
You been looking?
Sort of.
Sort of?
I thought maybe you were still angry with me.
Why?
Well, because of what I said last time I saw you.
Oh, no, no. I've been thinking a lot about that.
No, I know. But I should really just learn to mind my own business.
No. I think you're right about facing things head-on.
I mean, I feel the same way.
I just kind of forgot for a while.
Thanks for reminding me.
(Chuckling) You're welcome.
It's just that he thinks he can do whatever he wants to people.
Who?
Johnny.
Oh.
I'd love to see him get a dose of his own medicine.
Well, you know, what goes around comes around.
I'd love to be there when it does.
(Chuckling) Yeah. Me, too.
(People chattering)
So, you want to go outside?
(Clicking tongue)
You talked me into it.
(Chuckling)
(Imitating chicken)
Check out this chicken. He's wild!
Ali: That guy's using real eggs.
- Daniel: This guy is great. - He hit someone.
No! No!
(All laughing)
Johnny. Johnny.
(Toilet flushing)
(Banging on door)
Johnny.
You got the number rolled yet, man?
In a minute.
All right, I'm gonna go get the guys.
- Okay. - Hey, hurry up.
(Music continues playing)
(Water running)
Johnny: Shit!
Hey, man.
Daniel: Look out. Watch it. Move, man!
Hey, Johnny, what's up?
Get out of the way! Get out of my way! Look out!
Daniel, what's wrong?
It's coming around.
(Johnny yelling)
(Grunting)
Get up!
Get out of my way!
(Honking)
(Tires screeching)
Man 1: What's he...
Man 2: What the hell are you doing?
Get out of the way!
(Johnny grunts)
Danger
everywhere I turn
no shelter, and the truth is under fire
(panting)
There ain't no lookin' back
you put it all behind
when you're runnin' out of time
(grunting)
Boy: He ain't going over.
(All yelling)
We got him now.
(Grunts)
You little wimp.
You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, little twerp?
No, you had to push it.
Well, now, you're gonna pay.
(Grunts)
Where are you going, sweetheart?
How about a front kick, Johnny?
(Grunts)
(Groans)
Get him up.
Bobby: Leave him alone, man. He's had enough.
Shut up, Bobby!
Look at him. God, he can't even stand up.
- Johnny: So what? - That don't mean squat.
Johnny, leave him alone, man. He's had enough!
I'll decide when he's had enough, man.
What is wrong with you, Johnny?
- The enemy deserves no mercy. Right? - Right.
Right. _right.
Bobby: You're crazy, man!
(Yelling)
Tommy, Bobby, get him!
(Grunting)
(Groans)
(Groaning)
(Crickets chirping)
Daniel-San.
Come.
(Grunts)
Miyagi got you.
Leave on.
It stinks, man. What is this?
Smell bad, heal good.
(Sighs)
Hey, where did spiderman go?
Who?
That guy. That guy who bailed me out. Where did he go?
What, you?
No way.
Why no way?
Because, because...
Because, because old man?
(Chuckles)
Have tea. Feel better.
(Sighs)
How come you didn't tell me?
Tell you what?
That you knew karate.
You never ask.
Where'd you learn it from?
Father.
I thought he was a fisherman.
In okinawa, all miyagi know two thing, fish and karate.
Karate come from China, 16th century.
Called "te." "Hand."
Much later, miyagi ancestor call "karate".
"Empty hand."
I always thought it came from Buddhist temples and stuff like that.
You have too much TV.
That's what my mother tells me.
Hey, you ever taught anyone?
No.
Would you?
Depend.
On what?
Reason.
How's revenge?
Daniel-San, you look revenge that way, start by digging two grave.
Well, at least I have company, right?
Fighting always last answer to problem.
No offense, Mr. miyaji, but I don't think you understand my problem.
Miyagi understand problem perfect.
Your friend all karate student, eh?
Problem, attitude.
No, problem is I'm getting my ass kicked every other day.
That's the problem.
Because boys have bad attitude.
Karate for defense only.
That's not what these guys are taught, man.
I can see.
No such thing bad student.
Only bad teacher.
Teacher say, student do.
Oh, great. That solves everything for me.
I'll just go to the school and straighten it out with the teacher.
No problem.
Now use head for something other than target.
I was only kidding about that.
Why kidding?
Because I'll get killed if I show up there.
Get killed anyway.
(Chuckles softly)
Would you go with me?
No, can't.
Why? You said it was a good idea, right?
For you, good idea.
For me, good idea no get involved.
Oh, but you already are involved. I mean, you...
Very sorry.
What?
Well, thanks for nothing then, man.
Thanks for nothing.
Like I didn't have enough problems already.
Now I got to carry your weight, too. Thanks.
Don't do me any more favors, okay, pal.
Daniel-San?
What?
Okay, I go.
Oh, excellent, excellent, Mr. miyaiji, this is great.
Miyagi.
Miyagi. Miyagi.
Hey, what kind of belt do you have?
Canvas. You like?
(Chuckles) J.C. Penney. $3.98.
Oh, I didn't mean a belt like that. I meant...
In okinawa, belt mean no need rope hold up pants.
(Laughs)
(Stammering) That's funny.
Daniel-San.
What?
Karate here.
Karate never here.
You understand?
I think so.
Good night, Daniel-San.
Good night, Mr. miyaji. Miyagi. Miyagi.
Tomorrow morning?
10:00.
Oh, and...
Thanks for helping me out with my friends out there.
Hey, good morning, Mr. miyagi.
Oh, good morning, Daniel-San.
How you feel this morning?
I'm a little sore, really.
Huh.
You know how drive?
Yeah, yeah, I do, really.
No, no, no, I'm not... I'm not very good at it, Mr. miyagi.
Me, neither.
Well, I really don't have a license.
Me, neither.
All right. I guess it's okay, then.
(Engine starting)
1! All: Kill!
(Continue chanting)
(Karate cries)
You lose concentration in a fight, and you're dead meat.
Yes, sensei. “What?
Yes, sensei!
Get up.
Give me 60 pushups on your knuckles.
Combat!
Hai!
Brown, robertson.
En garde!
Hai!
(Grunts)
Point. Front kick.
What are you looking at? Finish him!
(Uttering karate cry)
Return.
Prepare.
Hai!
We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak.
Here, on the street, in competition,
a man confronts you, he is the enemy.
An enemy deserves no mercy.
What is the problem, Mr. Lawrence?
(Inaudible)
Come on, let's forget this.
Wait. Not yet.
Class, we have visitors. Fall in behind me. Hail
I hear you jumped some of my students last night.
Afraid the facts mixed up.
Are you calling Mr. Lawrence a liar?
No call no one nothing.
What are you here for, old man?
Come ask leave boy alone.
What's the matter? The boy can't take care of his own problems?
One-to-one problem, yes.
Five-to-one problem, too much ask anyone.
Is that what's bothering you? The odds?
Well, we can fix that.
Feel like matching, Mr. Lawrence?
Yes, sensei!
No more fighting.
This is a karate dojo, not a knitting class.
You don't come in my dojo and drop a challenge and leave, old man.
Now, get your boy on the mat, or you and I will have a major problem.
Too much advantage, your dojo.
Name a place.
Tournament.
(Snickering)
You got real nerve, old man. Real nerve.
But I think we can accommodate you.
Can't we, Mr. Lawrence?
Yes, sensei.
Fall in.
Ask one more small request.
Make it fast.
Ask leave boy alone to train.
You're a pushy little bastard, ain't you?
But I like that. I like that.
All right. No one touches the prima Donna until the tournament.
Is that understood?
All: Yes, sensei!
But you don't show,
and it's open season
on him
and you.
I can't believe this.
I cannot believe this.
What?
- What you just got me into in there. - Huh?
You said you were gonna make things better for me.
That I did.
How?
How? Just save you two-month beating.
Oh, great. I can't wait.
Now I really got something to look forward to.
Daniel: How much longer till we get to your house?
Miyagi: Hmm, other side tracks.
What, are you... What, are you in the oil business, too?
(Miyagi laughing)
Not everything is as seem.
This place reminds me of Newark. What are we gonna do here?
Start training.
Much work to be done.
Tournament here before you know it.
Yeah. That's what I'm afraid of.
Daniel: Man, that teacher was really wacko.
You really think I'm gonna beat that guy?
Ah, no matter.
Wacko teacher attitude rest in fist.
Stupid, but fact of life. Win, lose, no matter.
You make good fight. Earn respect.
Then nobody bother.
Hell, they'll bury me where I fall.
(Chuckles)
Either way, problem solved.
Wait right here.
(Crows cawing)
This is great.
Miyagi: Hey!
Oh, Mr. miyagi, I forgot to give this back to you last night.
No, no, no, you keep.
Oh, thanks a lot.
So, ready?
Yeah, I guess so.
(Sighs)
(Metal clanking)
Daniel-San, must talk.
Walk on road, hmm.
Walk right side, safe. Walk left side, safe.
Walk middle, sooner or later,
(mimics grape getting squished)
Get squished just like grape.
Here karate, same thing. Either you karate do, yes,
or karate do, no.
You karate do, "guess so."
(Mimics grape getting squished)
Just like grape.
Understand?
Yeah, I understand.
Now ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Yes.
Must make sacred pact.
I promise to teach karate. That my part.
You promise learn.
I say, you do. No question.
That your part.
Deal?
It's a deal.
Yes.
First, wash all the car. Then wax. Wax...
- Why do I have to wash all the car... - Uh, uh, uh.
Remember deal. No question.
- Yeah, but I... - Right!
Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand.
Wax on. Wax off.
Breathe in through nose, out the mouth.
(Inhales and exhales)
Wax on, wax off.
Don't forget to breathe. Very important.
Wax on, wax off.
Hey, where did these cars come from?
Wax on... Detroit. Wax off.
Wax on. Wax off.
(Sighs)
No, no, no.
Wax on. Right hand, make circle.
Wax off. Left hand, circle.
Wax on. Wax off.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Wax on. Wax off.
Ah.
Wax on. Wax off.
Hey, Mr. miyagi, I'm finished.
Hey, you want to check these out?
Mr. miyagi?
Hello?
Mr...
(Snoring)
(People chattering)
(Bell ringing)
Hey, there you are. I've been looking all over for you today.
Where you been?
I don't believe it.
What? Hey, where are you going?
I'm gonna go find that idiot, Daniel. It's gonna stop.
No, relax, everything's been taken care of.
Oh, yeah. Until next time, huh?
No, there isn't gonna be a next time.
There they are.
What? All right. Watch this.
Hey, you guys. How you doing? It's good to see you.
Hey, sorry about the eye there, Johnny. Your shoulder okay, Tommy?
You guys be careful not to go step in front of
any more buses now, all right?
Hold it. Remember what sensei said?
You got to wait for the tournament.
Must be take-a-worm-for-a-walk week!
You did all that damage?
Like, you know, when you make a wish in a shower it always comes true?
I should have kept my mouth shut.
No, no, no. We got an agreement.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
Well, they agreed not to beat up on me,
and I promised not to get my blood on their clothes.
That was it.
(Laughs) I don't believe you.
What am I gonna do, moan and groan?
Well, anybody else would.
Yeah, who'd listen anyway?
Me.
- Oh, really? - (Chuckles)
You feel like listening this Saturday night then?
Sure.
All right, great.
Great. So Saturday night, we'll go out, we'll have a good time,
we'll do whatever and, uh...
What is that, your address?
You got it.
(Chuckles)
- Here you go. - Now, where is this?
(Bell rings)
- I got to go. - Okay.
All right. I'll talk to you later, then.
All right, great.
All right!
Hey, Mr. Harris, can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah. Larusso, third period history class.
Oh, yes.
Yeah. I wanted to let you know
I really got a lot out of the lecture the other day
about how the Indian got the horse. It was really great.
That's nice to hear.
Yeah. I was telling my buddies about it, but I kind of messed it up.
So I was wondering if you could give us a quick review on it now.
Oh, sure, I'm free this period.
Well, that's great for me then.
All: I got to go.
That leaves you and me, larusso,
but that's all right. I'll explain it to you,
and you can pass the information on to your friends.
Now the plains Indians
were a very primitive tribe all over north America...
(Sighs)
Come on, Casanova.

Boy: Hey, mommy, can Daniel come for a ride?
I really like your car, Mrs. larusso.
(All laugh)
You know, you could have gone.
Well, I didn't want to, okay?
It's no big deal.
Look, Daniel, if I really wanted to go, I would have.
Makes no difference to me.
Do what you want to do. I don't care.

Wow, this is beautiful.

Someone always know more.
You mean, there were times when you were scared to fight?
Ah, always scared. Miyagi hate fighting.
Yeah, but you like karate.
So?
So karate's fighting. You train to fight.
That what you think?
(Exhaling)
No.
Then why train?
So I won't have to fight.

Well, it's about 9:40.
Um, I got to go.
You have a date?

Dad, it's a friend.
Not that boy from reseda.
Yeah, he's from reseda.
He's a nice guy. It's no big deal.
Honey, you've monopolized the best-looking man here long enough.
Hi.
Listen, I've been thinking.
Maybe we can call a truce.
Yeah. I'm not at war. Excuse me.
Uh, could we please finish the dance?

Try to make it last
nothing you can do
in a photograph
the innocence you thought you'd lost is staring back at you
young hearts beat fast
driving down the road
rubber, plastic, metal, glass
why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young
(both giggling)
Hey, you both, don't shoot! No! No! No!
(Groaning)
Hey, don't leave me here. I'm wounded.
Good, maybe you'll die.
Hey!
I just wanted to apologize.
Fine. You apologized.
You know, I got my license.
Yeah? Whoop-de-do.
Hey, what's with you?
You expect me to do cartwheels or something?
No, I just expect a little bit of courtesy, maybe.
But I guess that's just for people with fancy cars and things like that, right?
Right?
Hey, can't you take a hint?
(Videogames beeping)
What's the matter? Truth hurt?
So, you really think that's if, don't you?
- Yeah, I know that's it. - Yeah, well, you're wrong.
Oh, I bet I'm wrong.
You know, Daniel, I didn't go out with you
because of a car or where you live.
Okay, well, while you're on the subject, why did you then?
Huh? Why did you?
Because I thought that maybe you and me were different.
Yeah, we're different. I'm from reseda, you're from the hills.
- That's how we're different. - That's not what I mean.
Why don't you just admit that you can't handle the situation the way it is then?
You know, I can handle it fine.
You can't.
What makes you so sensitive?
What?
She's never been anything but nice to you.
Yeah, she was so nice she used me to make what's his name jealous.
She doesn't even like what's his name.
I never could have guessed the way their faces
were stuck together at that country club.
Oh, that's right.
You didn't stick around for the exciting conclusion.
Oh, what was that? His hand on her ass?
Her right hook. You think she sprained her wrist doing her nails?
She hit him?
That's an understatement.
Why didn't she say something?
She shouldn't have to, should she?
Young hearts beat fast
driving down the road
rubber, plastic, metal, glass
why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young
when they are all alone and there is no turning back now
hey, slugger.
(Boys screaming)
Look, I'm a jerk.
You are a jerk.
So, am I forgiven?
Huh? Hey, I don't hear anything.

Hmm, sounds like a yes to me.
Come here. Come here.
So, I guess you know about the tournament tomorrow.
Who doesn't?
Dumb move, huh?

(Moment of truth playing)
When you're alone
you ask yourself
what are you searching for
deep in the night
a dream is born
one that you can't ignore
if you think you can find the passion
and you're ready to take a chance
if you really believe you can make it
then the power is in your own hands
it's the moment of truth
you're giving it all
standing alone, willing to fall
if you can do it
get up and prove it
get up and show them who you are
it's the moment of truth, it's all on the line
this is the place, this is the time
you've waited forever, it's now or it's never
nothing can stop you now
(vocalizing)
Once in your life
you make a choice
ready to risk it all
deep in your soul
you hear the voice
answering to the call
though you know that it won't be easy
it's a promise you make for love
for the people that keep believing
and the one that you're thinking of
it's the moment of truth, you're giving it all
standing alone, willing to fall
if you can do it, get up and prove it
get up and show them who you are
it's the moment of truth, it's all on the line
this is the place, this is the time
you waited forever, it's now or it's never
nothing can stop you now
it's the moment of truth, you're giving it all
standing alone, willing to fall
if you can do it, get up and prove it
nothing can stop you now
It's the moment of truth, you're giving it all
standing alone, willing to fall
if you can do it, get up and prove it
get up and show them who you are
it's the moment of truth, it's all on the line
this is the place, this is the time
waited forever, it's now or it's never
nothing can stop you now
it's the moment of truth
