Quotes 

• Daniel LaRusso : [Kreese is trying to suffocate Johnny in a choke hold, only to be interrupted by Daniel striking him]  You sent them to my HOUSE? You came after my daughter, you want a fight, you son of a bitch? Well, now you got one!

  [he looks over and sees Robby unconscious] 

  Daniel LaRusso : Robbie?

  John Kreese : [getting to his feet]  I told you... this was inevitable.

  [they fight, Kreese blocks him] 

  John Kreese : You can't keep up this 'defense only' shit forever.

  Daniel LaRusso : Good thing I don't have to!

  [he breaks Kreese's block, the fight continues, with Kreese picking Daniel up by his legs and charging outside through one of the dojo's windows, both land on the sidewalk] 

  John Kreese : [picking up a large shard of glass from the window]  Time for you and Miyagi to reunite!

  Chozen Toguchi : [Daniel remembers]  If an enemy insists on war, you take away their ability to wage it.

  [Daniel successfully disables Kreese using Chozen's pressure point techniques he learned from him in Okinawa, forcing Kreese to his knees; Johnny emerges; Daniel looks at him with an inquisitive look implying whether he should strike to kill... Johnny nods and Daniel nods back] 

  Samantha LaRusso : [rushing up]  DAD!

• Daniel LaRusso : [Samantha and Miguel have just stopped Daniel from killing Kreese]  Keep your Cobra Kais away from our kids!

  John Kreese : [rising to his feet]  It's a free country.

  Johnny Lawrence : [to Kreese]  Not for you. Cobra Kai's gotta go. For good.

  John Kreese : Why don't we settle this the old-fashioned way... tournament. If we lose, I go. If you lose...

  Johnny Lawrence : We won't lose.

• Johnny Lawrence : Your wife's paying the bills, huh?

  Daniel LaRusso : Says the guy who grew up eating free lunches here.

  Ali Mills : Okay, you guys really like fighting each other.

  Daniel LaRusso : He's instigating. I'm just defending myself, as usual.

  Johnny Lawrence : She knows firsthand that's bullshit.

  Ali Mills : [sighs]  This is exactly the problem. You say one thing, and then *you* say the opposite. You both think there's only one side to the story.

  Johnny Lawrence : I know. There's two.

  Ali Mills : No, there's three. There's your side...

  [looks at Johnny] 

  Ali Mills : ... and your side...

  [looks at Daniel] 

  Ali Mills : ... and then there is the truth. And the truth is, you guys are more alike than you want to admit. And maybe you recognize parts of yourself in each other, and maybe you don't always like what you see.

  [pause] 

  Johnny Lawrence : I guess it's possible some small part of all of this is my fault.

  Daniel LaRusso : Yeah. Me too.

• Daniel LaRusso : Ali, is it really you?

  Ali Mills : I think so.

• Ali Mills : You remember Johnny Lawrence? Right.

  Daniel LaRusso : How can I forget?

• Daniel LaRusso : [respectfully as he's leaving the party]  Merry Christmas, Johnny.

  Johnny Lawrence : [just as sincerely]  Merry Christmas, Larusso. Daniel!

• Daniel LaRusso : [last lines of the season, as "In The Air Tonight" by The Protomen reaches its crescendo]  You ready?

  Johnny Lawrence : Let's begin!
