Ralph MacchioQuotes

Jack Lambert: This is what they do. Kill theirselves by walking into trains?

Jack Lambert: I'm not going to waste all of your time so I'm just going a few words. Like all of you, I would like to move on in life. Thank you.

Jack Lambert: My father wants to see me. He sure took his sweet ass-time about it.

Willie Brown: Mileage. You can't get that living home with your momma wiping your butt.

Eugene Martone: No, I don't live at home.

Willie Brown: Where you live?

Eugene Martone: It's a school dormitory.

Willie Brown: [sarcastically] Oh, school dormitory. Oh, times is hard. Times is hard!

Johnny Cade: [his last words, to Ponyboy] Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.

Johnny Cade: I used to talk about killing myself all the time, man. But I don't wanna die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't gonna be long enough. Hell, I wouldn't care so much if there hadn't been so many things I haven't done yet. So many, so many damn things I ain't seen or done. That time when we were up in Windrixville was the only time I've ever been away from my neighborhood.

Daniel LaRusso: Live or die, man.

Chozen: Die.

Daniel LaRusso: [honks Chozen's nose] Wrong.

Sato: Chozen, don't do this. I was wrong! Hate is wrong! It's over!

Chozen: [with scorn] I cannot hear you, uncle. I'm dead to you, remember huh?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Chozen, you are your uncle's finest student. No disgrace him here.

Chozen: Your student disgraced me. I have been dishonored all because of him!

Daniel LaRusso: Whatever happened, I apologize!

Chozen: Apology will not give me back my honor!

Daniel LaRusso: Well, neither will this!

Chozen: In their eyes it will. No more talk! You cross bridge or I kill her!

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: [feels Daniel moving to the bridge] Daniel-san, this not tournament. This for real.

Chozen: [Daniel crosses] NOW!! Oi. No bridge.

Daniel LaRusso: Now I dropped the bridge! Let her go! Come on!

Chozen: [throws his knife away and shoves Kumiko to the side] Now... we fight to death!

Daniel LaRusso: How are they gonna recover from this? All the seeds are gone, the place is wrecked. Whare are they gonna do now?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Best they can.

Daniel LaRusso: [sees vehicles from Sato's company arrive] Hey, what's this? What's Sato doing here?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Don't know.

Sato: [bows to Mr Miyagi; presents box; bows lower] I come help rebuild. Here deed to village. Forgive me. I beg of you.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: [claps Sato on the shoulder] Oh, Sato, nothing to forgive.

Daniel LaRusso: [to Kumiko] Now's a good time to ask him.

Kumiko: It's not my place.

Daniel LaRusso: Mr. Sato, O-bon dance is soon... and it'll be really hard the way things are to have it here in the village.

Sato: What do you ask of me?

Daniel LaRusso: Well, can they have it in the castle? I mean that's where it really belongs, isn't it?

Sato: [smiles to Miyagi; Mr Miyagi and Yukie smile. to villagers; Everybody cheers; to Daniel with index finger] Your student become my teacher. Obon will be held in castle, now and forever! One condition: you dance with us. Okay?

Daniel LaRusso: [shakes hands with Sato] You got it!

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: [puts his hand on theirs] Okay.

Daniel LaRusso: Oh, please, not again. Hey, I don't want any trouble.

Chozen: This time, trouble want you.

Daniel LaRusso: [referring to their Obon dance] Maybe we should take it on the road!

Kumiko: [confused] But we're on the road.

Chozen: [snickers, Daniel and Kumiko run off] You dance very nice like geisha! His favorite teacher's karate technique... the "let's go".

Daniel LaRusso: Don't those lies bother you?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: No.

Daniel LaRusso: Why not? People might think that they are true.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Lies only become true if person choose to believe.

Daniel LaRusso: Is that an old Okinawa saying?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: No. New Okinawa saying.

Daniel LaRusso: How new?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: [pauses, pretends to think] About ten seconds.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Daniel-san, you alright?

Daniel LaRusso: Yeah... I'm sorry; that was pretty stupid, wasn't it?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: [with a grim smile] Miyagi say that to father when same thing happen. Father agree, was stupid. Father was right.

Daniel LaRusso: I don't get something. If Sato hates you so much, why does he give you time to mourn?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Because, Daniel-san, my father was his teacher. Deep in heart, Sato still know right from wrong.

Daniel LaRusso: Then why does he still want to kill you?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: [shrugging] ...Because sometimes, what heart know, head forget.

Daniel LaRusso: You think you could break a log like that?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Don't know. Never been attacked by a tree.

Daniel LaRusso: If you and Sato fought, would your father be the referee?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: No referee.

Daniel LaRusso: Then how do you know who wins?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: The one who's dead, doesn't.

Daniel LaRusso: Hey, what are you building out there?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Guest room.

Daniel LaRusso: Are you expecting company?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Nah, refugee.

Daniel LaRusso: Refugee? Oh yeah, that's great. From where?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Fresno.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Ah, Daniel-san! Must've been some senior prom. What happened?

Daniel LaRusso: You mean, what didn't happen. First I let Ali borrow the car, and she redesigns my fender. And I don't know what she's done to my engine, but that ain't running right either. And you know what else she's done? She tells me she's fallen in love with some football player from UCLA. Why couldn't she just lie to me or something?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Things could be worse.

Daniel LaRusso: Don't worry, they are. Last night, my mom tells me she got transferred by her company to their new branch in Fresno. Two months. I'm going to spend my entire summer in Fresno. We're supposed to leave tomorrow afternoon.

Daniel LaRusso: You're not gonna be able to fix that.

Daniel LaRusso: How'd you do that? What'd you do?

Daniel LaRusso: You could have killed him.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Hai.

Daniel LaRusso: Well, why didn't you?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Because Daniel-san, for person with no forgiveness in heart, living worse punishment than death.

Daniel LaRusso: Hey Mr. Miyagi, you know I've been thinking.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: About what, Daniel-san?

Daniel LaRusso: That we should come with some kind of strategy.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: For what?

Daniel LaRusso: My future, my whole tournament career.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Miyagi already have one.

Daniel LaRusso: Really? What is it?

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: Early retirement.

Daniel LaRusso: You know... When my father died, I spent a lot of time thinking maybe I wasn't such a great son. It seemed to me like I could have listened to him a little more, spent some more time with him... I felt so guilty, you know, like he did everything for me, and I didn't do anything for him. Then one day it occurred to me... that I did the greatest thing of all for him just before he died: I was there with him, and I held his hand, and I said goodbye.

Daniel Larusso: I know you don't believe in fighting, but tournament karate isn't exactly fighting.

Daniel Larusso: Hey! Pull us up!

Snake: First give us the application.

Daniel Larusso: No! I'll give it to you when we get up there.

Mike Barnes: [lets Jessica fall for 1/2 second. She's fallen 5 feet] Oh yeah!?

Daniel Larusso: All right! All right!

Daniel Larusso: Here.

Mike Barnes: Check it out.

Snake: [does] It's cool.

Mike Barnes: [points at Daniel, lecturing; looks at Jessica] Hey, don't even think about backing out, man, cause then I'll really be pissed. And this, this will all seem like a happy memory compared to what I do to you and what we all do to her.

Terry Silver: There you are.

Daniel LaRusso: Yeah. I had to do some thinking.

Terry Silver: And?

Daniel LaRusso: I've decided not to defend my title after all. You've been a great trainer, but...Well, when I hit that guy in the club, that's just not my style. I wanted to let you know all of this in person, because I figure that's the least of I owe you.

Terry Silver: You owe me a lot more than that, Danny-boy.

Daniel LaRusso: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought the lessons were for free. But--

Terry Silver: No, no; nothing's for free. You are gonna defend. You're getting in that ring.

Daniel LaRusso: Excuse me, Mr. Silver - You can't make me do something I don't want to do.

Terry Silver: [laughs] Danny, Danny...from the moment you met me, I've been making you do things you didn't want to do.

Daniel LaRusso: [confused] What are you talking about?

Terry Silver: [calls in office] Let's show him what I'm talking about!

Mike Barnes: [steps out] I'm what he's talking about, shithead!

Terry Silver: We have an agenda here, Daniel; it's really very simple...

Daniel LaRusso: [backpedaling] You guys are crazy!

Terry Silver: [even more hyped up] ...Either you fight one fight on one day, or you fight every day for the rest of your life! So what's it going to be, Danny-boy?!

Daniel LaRusso: [starts to exit but is blocked by John Kreese.] It's not gonna be anything, because I'm not going to be there! So just forget about it!

Terry Silver: Let's show Mr. Kreese how he's going to get his business back!

Daniel LaRusso: Hey I'm not gonna fight! You can't make me fight!

Terry Silver: [Daniel tries to fight Barnes, but Barnes gets the upper hand] You don't have to! You can just stand there and let him kick your ass! Do the Crane, Danny-Boy!

Mike Barnes: [attacks Daniel; He punches Daniel in the gut repeatedly, before shoving Daniel towards the door. Daniel hastily runs off, all while Silver and Kreese laugh uproariously] You're doing this to yourself, man!

Terry Silver: Do you wanna see some more?

John Kreese: I wanna see a lot more!

Terry Silver: [to Mike; Barnes runs out after Daniel, Silver turns to Kreese; They laugh maniacally until they're cut short by a scream...as Miyagi tosses Barnes through the dojo doors; to Barnes] Bring him back. You see his face? See the trail? I think he peed in his pants! Well well well, look who's here. The big war hero! What are you waiting for?

Daniel Larusso: Hey! Get out of here, man, I signed it (some application?), alright?!

Mike Barnes: What'd you call the cops for?

Daniel Larusso: What'd you steal the trees for?

Mike Barnes: No proof.

Daniel Larusso: Oh, who left the application/applications, the tooth fairy, huh?!

Mike Barnes: [steps on Daniel's throat; Terry Silver enters] There's nothing you've got that I can't counter/count her (Jessica), your karate's a joke.

Terry Silver: Let him up, punk!

Mike Barnes: Who are you? His mother?

Terry Silver: Maybe.

Terry Silver: Get your hand off. Get the hand off me.

Terry Silver: I ever even see you on the same street as this kid I will seriously mess you up. You understand?

Mike Barnes: Okay...

Terry Silver: YOU UNDERSTAND?!

Mike Barnes: YES!

Terry Silver: [lets him go; literally kicks Barnes out...on his butt] Alright. Now get the hell out of here!

Terry Silver: [helping Daniel up] Who is that guy?

Daniel Larusso: [lame chuckle] That's the lunatic that wants my title. I was hoping you would have killed him.

Terry Silver: [honourably and wisely] No, no. That's not what karate's about. It's for defence.

Daniel Larusso: [feeling suitably ashamed] Yeah, yeah, I know, you're right.

Daniel Larusso: [tentatively] Mr. Miyagi?

Daniel Larusso: [worried, sad] Will it be okay?

Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: Depend. If root's strong, tree survive.

Daniel Larusso: Hey!

Snake: Yes, sweetheart?

Daniel Larusso: Pull us up, man!

Mike Barnes: The stakes just went up. Give us the tree.

Jessica Andrews: No, Daniel, don't!

Daniel Larusso: [does anyway] All right, but just be careful.

Dennis: [laughing evilly] What are you going to do with it?

Snake: SHUT UP!

Snake: Down there!

Daniel Larusso: NO!

Jessica Andrews: NO!

Daniel Larusso: Please don't.

Mike Barnes: [disgusted; takes it] Alright, alright, Enough. Gimme it! Okay. Now you want it, right?

Daniel Larusso: Yes!

Jessica Andrews: Yes!

Mike Barnes: Okay, Daniel.

Mike Barnes: Make a wish.

Daniel Larusso: Hey, hey! Come on, guys. This isn't funny anymore, alright? Come on, turn on the lights.

Snake Silver: Hey, Danny, I hope you got some good news for my friend here.

Mike Barnes: I hope so too, Daniel.

Daniel Larusso: I told you, alright? I can't help you out. Forget about it, all right? Hey, where are you going?

Mike Barnes: You mean you haven't signed the application yet?

Daniel Larusso: I'm not signing the application. I'm not gonna compete! Please, take your friends and get outta here.

Mike Barnes: [calls across the room] Hey, Dennis! He didn't sign it yet.

Daniel Larusso: Hey! Hey, come on; guys, this getting out of hand now. Don't you get it? I'm not signing the application!

Mike Barnes: Sure you are. You are if you know what's good for you.

Daniel Larusso: [He and Dennis get into a shoving match] No! I'm not gonna be there, alright? You're wasting your time; so take off, alright?

Dennis: You take off!

Mike Barnes: Come on, Dennis, take him out!

Snake: [Daniel takes out Dennis with a couple of well-placed blows, while Jessica trips Snake to the floor. Then Mike drops Jessica with a kick to the ribs. Then Daniel angrily attacks Mike, who fends him off with ease and then counterattacks...knocking Daniel hard to the floor] Pull his eye out! Yeah, Dennis, wreck him!

Mike Barnes: [Daniel punches him feebly, Mike says “Don’t do that.” and Daniel is tossed into more furniture, which is broken as a result; Jessica says “Mike, STOP IT!” and goes “Just get outta here!”, Mr. Miyagi shows up, Mike says “Save it to the tournament!”, “NAIL HIM!” and “COME ON, OLD MAN!” and Mr. Miyagi ejects all three troublemakers, who speed off in their red Ferrari] Come on, punk! Let's see what you've got! (Daniel tries to kick Mike) Nice kick...not bad...getting better...good but still not good enough! (pushes/kicks him) COME ON! GET UP! Why are you being so stubborn? I'm running out of patience, LaRusso! Now, let's get on with it. SIGN THE APPLICATION! I'll be back, LaRusso! I'm gonna get you, man! You're finished, you hear me? Finished!

Snake: Yeah! You can't watch him forever, Buddha-head!

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!

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?!

Daniel Larusso: ...NAIL HIM!

Terry Silver: THEN DO IT!

Terry Silver: YES! You nailed him! You're ready!

Terry Silver: What, you think you can rely on that crane crap?

Daniel Larusso: Did pretty well with it last time.

Terry Silver: Hey, wake up and smell the coffee, Mr. LaRusso! Last time you weren't fighting this.

Daniel Larusso: Hey Mom, how are you back in New Jersey?

Lucille Larusso: I am here with your Uncle Louie in Parsipanny. I may have to spend the whole summer with him. Oh, but my son will be starting college!

Daniel Larusso: Yeah I know Mom. Here I will put Mr. Miyagi on.

Lucille Larusso: [Uncle Louie rings a bell] Thanks. talking to Mr. Miyagi Thanks so much. Are you sure you are okay with watching after Daniel? Oh no, I have to go.

Mr. Miyagi: That is fine by me. You just help Uncle Louie. Nice mama! Good mama.

Daniel LaRusso: You know, this is the 80s, Mr. Miyagi; you can't be so damn passive!

Daniel LaRusso: Remember what you're fighting for.

Daniel LaRusso: This represents the history between the two families.

Daniel LaRusso: Let's make a karate kid.

Daniel LaRusso: Two branches, one tree.
