Mr. Kesuke Miyagi quotes

View Quote "If karate used defend honor, defend life, karate mean something. If karate used defend plastic metal trophy, karate no mean nothing."
View Quote [Miyagi stares wistfully at a picture of him and Daniel together] "Hope confusion end soon, Daniel-san. Miyagi heart empty without you."
View Quote Terry Silver: I owe you, man.
John Kreese: You don't owe me anything.
Terry Silver: Oh bullshit. I don't owe you anything? What about Vietnam, huh? How many times did you save my ass?
John Kreese: I don't know. I lost count.
View Quote Terry Silver: What, you think you can rely on that crane crap?
Daniel Larusso: It worked last time.
Terry Silver: Hey, wake up and smell the cofee Mr. Larusso! Last time you weren't fighting this.
[Shows Daniel a picture of Mike Barnes]
View Quote Terry Silver: [to Mike Barnes before the match] Remember the game plan. First you win a point, then you lose a point. Keep the score zero-zero. Pulverize him for the full three minutes. Then in sudden death you get the point, we win. I want him to experience pain. First he suffers.
John Kreese: Then he suffers some more.
View Quote Daniel Larusso: You know, this is the 80s, Mr. Miyagi. You can't be so damn passive!
View Quote Terry Silver: [at the climax of Daniel's training] Visualize: this is not a bunch of sticks and pipes anymore; This is a living, breathing wrecking machine who wants to detatch your head from the rest of your body!
[Daniel gashes his fist on the 2X4 with Mike Barnes' picture] Terry Silver: It's blood. So what? Make believe it's HIS! This guy wants to BREAK you! HUMILIATE you! STOMP YOU INTO THE GROUND! NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

View Quote Terry Silver: [in steam filled bathroom talking to John Kreese on phone] You are back my man, bigger and badder than ever.
John Kreese: [getting back massaged] You're a sweetheart, that's great. But what about those two jerks?
Terry Silver: Those two jerks are taking up 100 percent of my time. Just relax, Johnny. By the time I'm done with that little punk he'll be begging me to be his teacher. And you know what he's going to learn from me: pain in every part of his body. And fear in every part of his mind. And here's the kicker he's going to thank me for it later.
John Kreese: How do you know he'll compete?
Terry Silver: He'll compete. Johnny, when that little twerp steps into the ring to defend his title, I'm going to have him think he's invincible. And then he's going to find out what pain and fear are all about... [smiles a bit more evilly] ...right in front of a thousand people. Anything else?
John Kreese: [looks at his hands] Yeah. Make his knuckles bleed.
Terry Silver: [shocked/amazed] Hey! Hey, I like that! Oh, I like it, Johnny! I'm going to use it!

Mike Barnes: Sign the application yet?
Daniel Larusso: No.
Snake: [calls across the room] Hey Dennis! He didn't sign it yet.
Dennis: [puts something down he was looking at and shakes his head back and forth making tsking sounds. Then he karate chops some shoji windows]
Daniel Larusso: Why don't you just take off.
Dennis: [shoves Daniel hard] You take off!

Daniel Larusso: Oh, I can have the payment for the lessons in a couple of weeks. I just need to get the money.
Terry Silver: No money. You're getting in that ring and fighting the tournament. That will be how you pay for the lessons.
Daniel Larusso: Wait. Mr. Silver, you can't make me do anything I don't want to do.
Terry Silver: [laughs] Danny, Danny. Since the moment I met you, I've been making you do things you don't want to do.
