Just One of the Guys

Lunchroom Banter Turns into Tension

Rick Um, excuse me. Could I have your attention please? Your attention? Every day at lunch, we get a very special treat from a very special guy. A guy who has dedicated his life to building his body, pushing his muscles to the very limits of human endurance. Why, you ask? Why? Well, to be strong enough to lift tables and spill food, Greg Tolan!

Rick Whoa, wait. Let's take a moment to find out a little bit about the man behind the mess. Greg! May I call you Greg? Now, tell us, Greg, how did you get into spilling food, huh? Were you a messy baby? Did you hate your strained peas? Well, you know, how most psychologists tell us that guys, well, they get into body building to compensate for either a lack of IQ, or a small weenie. Which is it, Greg? Well, those of us in Greg's gym class certainly know the answer to that one.

Greg I'm going to beat the shit out of you, Morehouse!

Deborah Greg, please!

Rick Hey, isn't he great? Muscles and a sense of humor. Well, let's thank Greg for the many lunchtime thrills and spills he's given us. All right everybody, up! Come on, everybody up! Grab an end of your table! A tribute to you, Greg. Lift! We love you, Greg!

[the kids in the cafeteria go to an end of their table; everybody in the cafeteria lifts their table, spilling food, including spilling their food on Greg's feet]

The Karate Kid

Confrontation Over Training Philosophy in Karate

John Kreese We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets, in competition. A man confronts you, he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy- what is the problem, Mr. Lawrence?

[notices Johnny staring at Daniel and Mr. Miyagi]

John Kreese I hear you jumped some of my students last night.

Mr. Miyagi Afraid the facts mixed up.

John Kreese Are you calling Mr. Lawrence a liar?

Mr. Miyagi No call no one nothing.

John Kreese What are you here for, old man?

Mr. Miyagi Come ask leave boy alone.

John Kreese What's the matter? The boy can't take care of his own problems?

Mr. Miyagi One to one problem, yes. Five to one problem, too much ask anyone.

John Kreese Is that what's bothering you? The odds? Well, we can fix that. You like matching, Mr. Lawrence?

[to Johnny]

Johnny Lawrence Yes, Sensei!

[eagerly]

Mr. Miyagi No more fighting.

[groans]

John Kreese This is a karate dojo, not a knitting class! You don't come into my dojo and drop a challenge and leave, old man. Now, you get your boy on the mat or you and I will have a major problem.

[getting angry]

Mr. Miyagi Too much advantage, your dojo.

John Kreese Name a place.

Mr. Miyagi Tournament.

[gestures with his head to the poster behind him for the All-Valley Under-18 Karate Tournament]

John Kreese You've got real nerve, old man. Real nerve. But I think we can accommodate you. Can't we, Mr. Lawrence?

[chuckles]

Johnny Lawrence Yes, Sensei.

John Kreese Fall in.

[Johnny gets back in line]

Mr. Miyagi Ask one more small request.

John Kreese Make it fast.

[stops, annoyed]

Mr. Miyagi Ask leave boy alone, to train.

John Kreese You're a pushy little bastard, ain't ya? But I like that. I like that! All right, no one touches the prima donna until the tournament. Is that understood?

[chuckles; to his students]

Cobra Kai students YES, SENSEI!

John Kreese But you don't show, and it's open season, on him ... and you .

[menacingly approaches Miyagi and Daniel again; points at Daniel; points at Miyagi]

Audrey Yeah, well who have I got to be thin for?
