- Don't do this.
- Just open the goddamn door.
- It's not gonna happen.
- He's really gonna make me have to do this, huh?
- -Ooh!
- -[Trey laughs]
- What, ninja boy teach you some karate or something?

- So, there's only one solution, and that is before you leave this dojo, each and every of you is gonna take a punch, very hard, to the face.
- Ms. Robinson, line 'em up.
- Unflinch this group.
- Yes, Sensei.

- Nowhere to run.
- Nowhere to hide.

Amanda: Hey. Have you seen Robby? I need some help with those filters.
Daniel: Yeah. He's in the back. He's helping me trim the bonsais.
Amanda: Oh, wow. You're letting him touch your precious bonsais. That's like third base for you, babe.
Daniel: He's a good kid. He's just had a rough go of it and I thought I could teach him a few things. You know?
Amanda: Just don't try to lure him into opening his own bonsai tree store. You know how that goes.

- You know I never miss the annual meeting, there, Ron.
- And, boy, am I glad I didn't miss this one.
Ron: Well, you're just in time.
- Mr. Lawrence here says his dojo was banned from the tournament.
- He wants to reenter.
- Oh, I'm sure he does.

- and if the sky's clear, then we'll look at the stars.
- The only part of that that made any sense at all is "three-way."
- It'll be fun.
- All right, look, if you wanna impress this chick, you gotta take her to where I used to take all my babes back in the day.
- Where's that?

- You know, we have dozens of beautiful, brand-new cars right over there that you're welcome to take photos of.
- This is for the insurance adjuster.
- Instead of waiting for her to come out here from Torrance,
- I'll send the photos, and we can get to work sooner.
- Might be time to make you Louie's boss.

Miguel: Sensei, what's going on?
Johnny: There's a lifetime ban on Cobra Kai from entering the tournament.
Miguel: What? How is that fair?
Johnny: It's not. There's nothing I can do about it.
Miguel: What happened to "never accept defeat"? There is no "no"?
Johnny: That was girl advice, this is different. This is the real world, there are rules.
Miguel: Since when do you care about the rules? "We don't take no for an answer", you said that! You gotta fight this.
Johnny: You know what? You're right. I'm gonna go down there and beat their asses.
Miguel: Yeah. No, no, no! What? No, that's not what I meant. I'm saying maybe there's a more delicate approach, Sensei?
Johnny: The way of the fist is not delicate, cobras are not delicate.
Miguel: Yes, yes, sorry, I... forget delicate. I'm just saying, maybe there's a smarter way to fight back?

- The tree's, like, my feelings or something.
- Well, you are the tree, Robby.
- You got strong roots.
- You know who you are, right?
- So now all you've gotta do is visualize what you want your future to look like, and then you make it happen.

- You know, this may be the best date
- I've ever been on.
- Really?
- Because technically, this isn't a date.
- Right.
- Not a date.
- And that was not a kiss.
- -Yeah.
- -[Sam giggles]

- get everything out of your head.
- The only thing you can see is the tree.
- Think only the tree.
- Then you visualize what you want that tree to look like, and you make it happen.
- That's it.

- Unless he doesn't want to.
- Oh, then we'd have a bigger problem.
- Yeah, remember what we did to that bitch-ass kid over in Ventura?
- Oh yeah. That was unfortunate.
- -It was.
- -Yeah.
- But we're not gonna have a bigger problem, are we, Robby?

Johnny: Look, I admit Cobra Kai had its share of problems in the '80s. My sensei didn't always play by the rules. That's why I left. But my Cobra Kai is different. It's a place where kids can come and feel like they belong. Where they won't get picked on because they're a bunch of losers, or because they're unique. I've watched firsthand as my students have gotten stronger, gained confidence, or had to stand up for themselves. Cobra Kai is making a difference to these kids' lives. And honestly, they're making a difference in mine as well. Thank you.

- and I thought if I could teach him a few things, you know…
- Well, just don't try to lure him into opening his own bonsai tree store.
- -You know how that goes.
- -No, no, no.
- Mr. Miyagi's Little Trees was a solid business plan.
- We just ran into some bad luck, OK?
- Never again.
- Never again.

Johnny: Holy shit, we got a room full of flinchers.
Cobra: Yes, Sensei!
Johnny: That was not a question!

George: Therefore, we, the All Valley Committee of 1985, issue a lifetime ban on Cobra Kai for the unethical and unsportsmanlike conduct shown by Senseis Terry Silver, John Kreese, and their student, Mike Barnes.
Daniel: Well, there you have it. We're sorry we wasted your time, Mr. Lawrence, but a lifetime ban is a lifetime ban.
Ron: Well, hold on. Let's hear what the man has to say.
Sue: Mr. Lawrence, what is your relationship to this Terry Silver?
Johnny: Ma'am, I have no idea who that even is. I'm just a small business owner trying to make a living.
Daniel: Oh please. Ask him about John Kreese.
Johnny: John Kreese is dead.
Ron: We're very sorry for your loss.
Daniel: Give me a break!
Sue: Daniel! Show a little respect!
Daniel: Respect? Are you kidding me, Sue? You don't know the history here. John Kreese and Cobra Kai were the embodiment of everything this tournament stands against, and this guy, Johnny Lawrence, he was his star pupil. He's the worst of them all. We'll be dishonoring the entire sport by reinstating Cobra Kai. I mean, come on.
Johnny: Look, I admit Cobra Kai had its share of problems in the '80s. My sensei didn't always play by the rules. That's why I left. But my Cobra Kai is different. It's a place where kids can come and feel like they belong. Where they won't get picked on just because they're a bunch of losers. Or because they're unique. I've watched firsthand as my students have gotten stronger, gained confidence, learned how to stand up for themselves. Cobra Kai is making a difference in these kids' lives. And honestly, they're making a difference in mine as well. Thank you.
Ron: That doesn't sound at all like the old Cobra Kai.
Daryl: Badass name for a dojo, by the way.
Sue: I think I speak for all of us when I say the community could use more men like you, Mr. Lawrence.
Johnny: Thank you, ma'am.
Daniel: All right, this is horseshit. This guy was the biggest bully in my high school, and he hasn't changed at all. I can prove it.
George: I'm sorry, Mr. Lawrence. I don't know you, but I do know Daniel LaRusso, and if he says no, I'm with him.
Daniel: Thank you, George.
Ron: [bangs gavel] Seems the only fair solution is to put this to a vote. Mr. Lawrence, would you mind waiting outside while we cast our ballots?
Johnny: Not at all. Thank you all for your careful consideration.
Daniel: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just wait outside, all right?

Trey: Oh!
- Dude, you good?
- Watch it, bro!

- Yeah.
- Actually, you know, it'd depend on how close to half-court we're talking because my seats are pretty close.
- -Oh my God!
- -Do you have a seating chart?
- -Shut up.
- -If you have a seating chart…
- All right, ready? Last shot wins.

Miguel: Ooh! Who's the man?
Johnny: I'm the man. Oh shit, are you the man too? Tell me you're the man!
Miguel: I'm the man!
Johnny: Yeah!
Miguel: I crushed the date.
Johnny: I crushed the committee meeting.
Miguel: So, Cobra Kai is in?
Johnny: Hell yeah, we're in. Cobra Kai is back, baby!

- Show me wax on, wax off.
- Hai!
- Hai!
- Aits!
- Hyah!
- Whoa.
