[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]

Ring Announcer : [Daniel has just scored the winning point with a kick to Johnny's chin, thus winning the championship... ring announcer prepares to present trophy] THE NEW CHAMPION...
Johnny Lawrence : [in tears and with a bloodied face taking trophy from ring announcer and presenting it himself to Daniel] You're all right, LaRusso!
Ring Announcer : ...DANIEL LARUSSO!
Johnny Lawrence : Good match!
Daniel : [to Johnny, as Daniel's being carried off the ring by the enthusiastic crowd] Thanks a lot!

Johnny Lawrence : [to Daniel as he's getting beaten by the Cobra Kai's after the Halloween Dance] You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, little twerp? No, you had to push it. Well, now you're gonna pay!
Dutch : [as Daniel tries to flee] Where you going, sweetheart?
Jimmy : [Dutch props Daniel up in front of Johnny] Give him a front kick, Johnny!
Johnny Lawrence : [Johnny does so twice,knocking Daniel against the fence and to the ground] Get him up!
Bobby : Leave him alone, man... he's had enough.
Dutch : Shut up, Bobby!
Bobby : Look at him, Dutch! He can't even stand up!
Tommy : So what?
Dutch : That don't mean squat!
Bobby : Johnny... leave him alone, man! He's had enough!
Johnny Lawrence : [screaming with rage] I'll decide when he's had enough, man!
Bobby : What is wrong with you, Johnny?
Johnny Lawrence : An enemy deserves no mercy!
Dutch : Right!
Johnny Lawrence : Right?
Dutch : Right!
Bobby : You're crazy, man!
Johnny Lawrence : [Miyagi intervenes and pushes Daniel out of the way right before Johnny strikes] Tommy, Bobby... get him!
[Miyagi knocks all five Cobra Kais out]

Johnny Lawrence : [DELETED SCENE: Johnny accosts Daniel at school, gives him a piece of paper] Wanted to make sure you got it.
Daniel : What's this for?
Daniel : You got to get your mommy to sign that, so you can be in the tournament with the big boys. They gotta know where to send your body after I get finished with it.
Daniel : Wait, I thought this was supposed to be No Contact.
Johnny Lawrence : [leaning in his face] Accidents happen.
[starts to walk away]
Daniel : Hey, let me ask you a question. What pleasure do you get from all this?
Johnny Lawrence : All what?
Daniel : Your big shot attitude. I mean, we both know you can kick my face in, so why do you still bother?
Johnny Lawrence : [shrugs] Maybe I like rubbing it in.
Daniel : Don't you ever think that he
[obviously referring to Kreese]
Daniel : might be wrong - at least, about some things?
[Johnny backs off while doing a slow burn]

Johnny Lawrence : No mercy, man. No mercy.

[Daniel is riding across a steep hill on his bike at night - suddenly he is accosted by Johnny, Tommy, Bobby, Dutch and Jimmy on their motorcycles]
Dutch : Looking for a shortcut back to Newark, Daniel?
Tommy : I THINK he wants to learn KARATE! Right?
Johnny Lawrence : Yeah! Okay, here's your first lesson: how to take a FALL!
[He sideswipes Daniel, knocking him over the edge and down the embankment. Daniel just lies there]
