[just before Johnny fights Daniel in the tournament]
Kreese : Sweep the leg.
[Johnny stares at him in shock]
Kreese : Do you have a problem with that?
Johnny Lawrence : No, Sensei.
Kreese : No mercy.

Kreese : [at the Cobra Kai dojo] Class, we have visitors. Fall in behind me. Hai!
[approaches Daniel and Miyagi, then speaks to Miyagi]
Kreese : I hear you jumped some of my students last night.
Miyagi : Afraid facts mixed up.
Kreese : You calling Mr. Lawrence a liar?
Miyagi : No call no one nothing.
Kreese : What are you here for, old man?
Miyagi : Come ask leave boy alone.
Kreese : What's the matter, the boy can't take care of his own problems?
Miyagi : One to one problem, yes. FIVE to one problem, too much ask anyone.
Kreese : Is that what's bothering you? The odds? Well, we can fix that. Feel like matching, Mr. Lawrence?
Johnny Lawrence : Yes, sensei!
Miyagi : No more fighting.
Kreese : This is a karate dojo, not a knitting class. You don't come into my dojo, drop a challenge and leave, old man. Now you get your boy on the mat, or you and I will have a major problem.
Miyagi : Too much advantage. Your dojo.
Kreese : Name a place.
Miyagi : Tournament.
Kreese : [laughs] You've got real nerve, old man. Real nerve. But I think we can accomodate you. Can't we, Mr. Lawrence?
Johnny Lawrence : Yes, sensei.
Kreese : Fall in.
[Johnny turns and leaves]
Miyagi : Ask one more small request.
Kreese : Make it fast.
Miyagi : Ask leave boy alone to train.
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?
[class responds with "YES SENSEI!"]
Kreese : But if you don't show, it's open season on him... and you.
[they nod at each other]
