Mr. Miyagi:
Fighting always last answer to problem.

Daniel:
No offense, Mr Miyajee, but I don't think you understand my problem...

Mr. Miyagi:
[interrupting] Mi... ya... gi... understand problem perfect. Your friend, all karate student, eh?

Daniel:
Friend? Oh, yeah, those guys.

Mr. Miyagi:
Problem: attitude.

Daniel:
No the problem is, I'm getting my ass kicked every other day, that's the problem.

Mr. Miyagi:
Because boys have bad attitude. Karate for defense only.

Daniel:
That's not what these guys are taught.

Mr. Miyagi:
Hai - can see. No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher. Teacher say, student do.

Daniel:
Oh, great, that solves everything for me. I'll just go down to the school and straighten it out with the teacher, no problem.

Mr. Miyagi:
Now use head for something other than target Daniel-san.

Daniel:
I was only kidding.

Mr. Miyagi:
Why?

Daniel:
Because I'd get killed if I showed up there.

Mr. Miyagi:
Get killed anyway.

Daniel:
Would you go with me?

Mr. Miyagi:
No can do.

Daniel:
Why? You said it was a good idea.

Mr. Miyagi:
For you, good idea. For me, good idea no get involved.

Daniel:
But you're already involved.

Mr. Miyagi:
Very sorry.

Daniel:
Well thanks for nothing then! Thanks for nothing. Like I didn't have enough problems already. Now I gotta carry your weight too. Thanks. Don't do me any more favors pal alright?

Mr. Miyagi:
Daniel-san.

Daniel:
What?

Mr. Miyagi:
OK, I go.

Daniel:
Oh thanks! Thanks Mr. Miyajee.

Mr. Miyagi:
Miyagi.

Daniel:
Miyagi. Hey, what kind of belt do you have?

Mr. Miyagi:
Canvas. J.C. Penney. $3.98. You like? [laughs]

Daniel:
No, I meant...

Mr. Miyagi:
In Okinawa, belt mean no need rope to hold up pants. [laughs; then, seriously] Daniel-san, karate here. [taps his head] Karate here. [taps his heart] Karate never here. [points to his belt] Understand?

Daniel:
I think so.

Mr. Miyagi:
Good night, Daniel-san.

Daniel:

Mr. Miyagi:
Ten o clock.
