John Kreese
- [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]
