The Karate Kid, Part III Quotes
Ostracised villain John Kreese attempts to gain revenge on Daniel and Miyagi, with the help of a Vietman War comrade, the wealthy owner of a toxic waste disposal business.
Terry Silver: [in steam filled bathroom talking to John Kreese on phone] I'm telling you, we will be up and running.
John Kreese: [getting back massaged] What about the winners?
Terry Silver: Those two jerk offs are taking up all my time. But you just relax. For the boy he will compete. I'm telling you too, that he is going to be begging me to be his teacher. And what he's going to learn from me is pain in every part of his body. And fear in every part of his mind. But here's the kicker he's going to thank me for it later. Then I'm going to think he's invincible. But then when he steps out into the ring of the tournament, he's really going to find out what pain's all about.
[smiles a bit more evilly]
Terry Silver: Out in front of a thousand people. Anything else my friend you want me to do to him?

Terry Silver: All right, all right, I've heard enough. I've made up my mind. This slope, what's his name - Miyagi - and that punk kid - I'm gonna get them for what they did to you. They made you suffer, so I'm gonna make them suffer... and suffer and suffer and when I think they've suffered enough, then I start with the pain.
Terry Silver: [Mr. Silver is invited to say a few words before the final match of the All-Valley Tournament] Thank you, John. Thank you very much. I've always lived my life by the rule: "If you get, you give." For the last twenty years I've gotten from karate. I've gotten discipline, health, self-confidence, inner peace, everything that makes me what I am today. And today it's time for me to give back.
[audience cheers approvingly]

Daniel Larusso: Why do I have to do this with this thing?
Terry Silver: Because it's a part of the training. Because I'm teaching techniques that you don't have. Techniques you'll need to win the tournament. What, do you think you can rely on that crane crap?
[does a phoney impression of it]
Daniel Larusso: Well, I did pretty well with it last time.
Terry Silver: Hey, wake up and smell the coffee, Mr. Larusso. Last time you weren't fighting this.

Terry Silver: [to Mike Barnes before the match] Remember the game plan. First you win a point, then you lose a point. Keep the score at zero-zero. Pulverize him for the full three minutes. Then in sudden death you get the point, we win. I want him to experience pain. First he suffers.
John Kreese: Then he suffers some more.

Daniel Larusso: Yes, he will. You won't.

Daniel Larusso: Doing what?
Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: What you doing.
Daniel Larusso: Because Mr. Miyagi extreme situations require extreme measures. Okay?
Mr. Kesuke Miyagi: Oh, Daniel-san, that not sound like you talking.
Daniel Larusso: Well, it is me talking, all right?
[opens door to his room and confronts Miyagi face to face]
Daniel Larusso: Look, I'm sorry if you don't like it but I've got problems, okay, and if you're not going to be part of the solution, just don't give me a hard time about it! All right? Okay, you got it?

Terry Silver: [at the climax of Daniel's training] Visualize: this is not a bunch of sticks and pipes anymore; this is not some pathetic mugger who needs a couple of dollars so he can eat. No! This is a deadly, hungry wrecking machine who wants to detatch your head from the rest of your body and mount it over his fireplace!

Terry Silver: Either you fight one day or you fight for the rest of your life.
[even more hyped up]
Terry Silver: So what's it going to be Danny boy?
Daniel Larusso: It's going to be that I'm not going to fight.
Terry Silver: You don't have to. You can just stand there and let him kick your@$$ for the whole 3 minutes.
