The Karate Kid Part III (1989) - Quotes

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.

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?

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: 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.

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.

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.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: [Miyagi tells Daniel something before Sudden Death Overtime] You stay focused. Daniel-san, your best Karate is still inside you...now Time let out!

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: [Miyagi stares wistfully at a picture of him and Daniel together] Hope confusion end soon, Daniel-san. Miyagi heart empty without you.

Mr. Nariyoshi Miyagi: If karate used defend honor, defend life, karate mean something. If karate used defend plastic metal trophy, karate no mean nothing.

Mike Barnes: Remember on the phone, when you said if I come down here and beat LaRusso in the All-Valley Tournament, that you'd give me 25 percent ownership of your new dojos? Well, I've been giving it some thought. To perform my best, which is what I want to do, I'm afraid I'm gonna need 50 percent.

Mike Barnes: [in Semi-Final fight, winning 2-0] You're next LaRusso! I own your ass!

Mike Barnes: [appears in front of Daniel as Terry Silver reveals his true nature] I'm what he's talking about, shithead.

Snake: [entering the Bonsai Shop] Room for one more down there?

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.

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