Quotes5

  • John Kreese: Something I can help you with, bud?
  • Emile: You have a Habsburg jawline. I've never seen one quite so perfect.
  • John Kreese: That's why I'm here. I need a partner and the only other person who knows how to teach Cobra Kai is you. What do ya say?
  • Terry Silver: I say... .no. Back in the 80s I thought I could conquer the world and I came pretty damn close. I was so hopped up on cocaine and revenge, I spent months terrorising a teenager over a high school karate tournament. It sounds insane just talking about it.
  • John Kreese: It's not about the trophy. It's about being a champion. Win or lose, that reputation will follow you the rest of your life.
  • Terry Silver: Look around. I'm doing just fine.
  • John Kreese: Are you? Because the Terry Silver that I know would have roundhoused Four Eyes back there for calling Cobra Kai adorable.
  • John Kreese: Karate is not a phase. It's a way of life. You can leave it for a while, but it never really leaves you.
