- [Johnny and Tommy are having what would be their last conversation around a campfire]
- Tommy: You still got one more thing that's more important than anything, Johnny.
- Johnny Lawrence: What?
- Tommy: Time. You still have time.
- Johnny Lawrence: Yeah, time for what?
- Tommy: Meet someone new, change your life, do what you wanna do.
- Johnny Lawrence: I don't know. Right now all I wanna do is make sure my students don't make the same mistakes that we did. I don't want 'em to look back at their life full of regret.
- Tommy: You'll do it, Johnny. You're the champ.
- John Kreese: Cobra Kai is not a hobby, it's not a club. Cobra Kai is your brothers and your sisters. You're all Cobra Kai for life because Cobra Kai never dies.
- Demetri: I'd be careful about this, Mr. L., letting the Cobra Kais into Miyagi-Do. It's like letting the wildlings behind the Wall.
- Daniel LaRusso: Didn't the wildlings help Jon Snow win The Battle of the Bastards?
- Demetri: Should've picked a different analogy.
- [Johnny has just told his old friends that he's re-opened the Cobra Kai dojo and their former sensei John Kreese is involved, and they're not pleased]
- Jimmy: This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
- Johnny Lawrence: It's not stupid.
- Bobby: John Kreese is bad news. All that crap we dealt with after high school, taking that "no mercy" bullshit out into the world.
- Jimmy: And you got it the worst, man. Don't you remember?
- Johnny Lawrence: Of course I remember, but people can change. Just like Cobra Kai can change.
- Jimmy: Yeah, right.
- Johnny Lawrence: No, I'm serious. I'm trying to change Cobra Kai. And Kreese is on board.
- Tommy: Do you trust him, Johnny?
- Bobby: You know Kreese. He's always got something up his sleeve.
- Johnny Lawrence: Nah, he's a different man. Besides, doesn't it say something in your book about forgiveness? 'Cause all I know is, everyone deserves a second chance.
- [Daniel explains to his new students what Cobra Kai is really about]
- Daniel LaRusso: Cobra Kai sells power, strength, and when I joined I was, well, I was weak. It was 1985, I had just won my first All-Valley, and, Mr. Miyagi didn't want me to compete anymore. He never really liked the idea of fighting for trophies in the first place. So, you know, I-we got into this big argument, and what did I do? I joined Cobra Kai. I learned to strike first, strike hard, show no mercy, and it turned me into an angry and violent kid. It changed me.
- Samantha LaRusso: You never told me about any of this.
- Daniel LaRusso: It's not something I'm proud of, Sam. And my point is anyone can be seduced by Cobra Kai, even me. And I'll admit Cobra Kai makes you feel stronger, tougher, but it will also get you in trouble. And that's what happened to me. I'm just lucky Mr Miyagi was willing to take me back. So remember, it doesn't matter who anyone was before they stepped into this dojo. All that matters is that right now, today, we are all Miyagi-Do.
- Ear Gauge: [Johnny and Tommy are going up to shoot some pool, when they come across a guy with ear gauges who just got done harassing a woman. He sees them. Sarcastically] Can I help you guys?
- Johnny Lawrence: [Politely, pointing to the pool tables] Yes. We got next.
- Ear Gauge: [Looks at Tommy] That has got to be the ugliest Make-A-Wish kid I have ever seen. You know what my wish is?
- [Points to Johnny]
- Ear Gauge: For you to suck my...
- [Johnny traps his arm, then rips one of his ear-gauges out. When he tries to punch Johnny, he beats him to it with a right hand, and the bar brawl is on]
