Thomas Ian GriffithQuotes

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.

Terry Silver: So what do you think?

Margaret: Oh, he's obnoxious.

Terry Silver: [laughing] Yeah. He's perfect!

Margaret: And in conclusion, I reject your final offer. If you proceed, I will sue your collective asses accordingly.

Terry Silver: [takes a phone call; hangs up] Best to Lorna and the kids. Sincerely, Blah-blah-blah." Yeah? Oh, good. Bring him in. What else?

Margaret: Uh, the grand jury? What do you intend to do about them?

Terry Silver: Bribe them, as usual.

Margaret: [aghast] Mr. Silver!

Terry Silver: Lighten up, Margaret. Who's the D.A. on the case?

Margaret: Mr. Cole.

Terry Silver: Oh good! Uh, let's invite Willie to dinner Tuesday night and let's make sure we have his favorite. What is it? Uh, poached salmon?

Terry Silver: What did I tell you, my man? The minute you step off that plane, you're the biggest dojo operator in the valley!

John Kresse: What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Terry Silver: I bought 20 locations today, signed, sealed, 100%. You are back, my man; bigger and badder than ever!

John Kreese: You're a sweetheart, that's great. But what about those two jerks?

Terry Silver: [laughs] Those two jerks" are taking up 100% of my time from now on. So have patience, my friend. I'm just getting everything rolling. When I'm finished with that kid, 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!

John Kreese: What about the old man?

Terry Silver: [smiles a bit more evilly] Him I hurt through the kid. Johnny, by the time that little twerp steps into the ring to defend his title, I'm going to have him thinking he's invincible. And then he's gong to find out what pain and fear really mean... ...right in front of a thousand people!

John Kreese: How do you know he'll compete?

Terry Silver: He'll compete. Don't worry about it; you just have fun. Go give Mamona and her girlfriend a squeeze for me.

John Kreese: [smiling] How do you know about Mamona?

Terry Silver: [laughs] I know! Anything else?

John Kreese: [looks at his hands] Yeah. Make his knuckles bleed.

Terry Silver: [shocked/amazed; laughs maniacally] Hey! Hey, I like that! Oh, I like that, Johnny! I'm going to use it!!

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: [to Mike Barnes before the match] Remember the game plan. First you win a point, then you lose a point. Keep the score 0-0, pulverize him for the full 3 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.

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.

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.

Terry Silver: Well well, look who's here; The big war hero!

Terry Silver: A man can't see, he can't fight.

Terry Silver: A man can't breathe, he can't fight.

Terry Silver: A man can't stand, he can't fight.

Terry Silver: [watching Barnes fighting Daniel] I love it when he pounds him!

Terry Silver: What's his name, Miyagi, and that punk kid...I'm gonna get them for what they did to you. They made you suffer, so I'm gonna make them suffer... and suffer and suffer, and when I think they've suffered enough, then I start with the pain!

Terry Silver: Now the real pain begins, Danny-boy.

Terry Silver: Johnny, every business has a slump at one time or another. Look at this. Ten years ago, nuclear was the preferred waste. You could dump it anywhere! Now everybody's a detective. I'm lucky if I make one deal a year without being indicted.
