Fridays on NetflixCobra Kai Season 3 Episode 8: "The Good, The Bad, and The Badass" Quotes
Just don't forget. Being a badass doesn't mean being an asshole.
Johnny
Johnny: I don't ever want you to start the fight. I just want you to--
Kreese: Finish it.
Sam: I'll let you get back to your friends.
Miguel: they're not my friends anymore. Not after what they did to you guys.
So that's it then? I mean they cast karate as the villain without any context whatsoever and we can't do anything about it.
Daniel
Tory: You go ahead. They'll send you straight back to juvie. Looks like we're both in the same boat,.
Robby: Thanks to you for starting the fight.
Tory: And you for finishing it.
Tory: It's not fair you know everyone else got to go back to normal, but here we are eating shit while your girlfri--
Robby: Don't talk about Sam.
Tory: She cheated on you.
Robby: She made a mistake. Sam is a good person.
Tory: Yeah she sure acts like it. Just wait she'll turn in you just like Miguel.
Robby: You don't know what you're talking about.
Tory: Then why are we both here? At least I know who I am. You're still pretending to be something you're not.
Carmen: I want to let you know I appreciate you putting Miguel's safety first.
Johnny: A lot of good it did. Now he hates me.
Carmen: He's a teenager. If he's happy with you all the time you're doing something wrong.
Carmen: I heard about the tournament.
Johnny: Yeah, who needs that?
Carmen: You do.
Carmen: I may not want him to compete, but I know he won't get hurt again because you're his sensei. It's what you were meant to be. It's your calling. There are other Miguels out there who need you in their corner.I know I'm the last person you expect to be telling you this, but you have to save the tournament.
Johnny: I don't know how I'm going to do that.
Carmen: By doing what you do best. Fight.
Miguel: Wait! My name is Miguel Diaz. I was in the school fight. I'm the one who got kicked off the second floor. You know, I thought was gonna be paralyzed. I relearned how to stand. I relearned how to walk, and I want the tournament to continue.
Roberts: We are grateful for your recovery young man but I'm afraid you don't understand.
Sam: Yes, he does. We're the ones getting hurt. We're the ones fighting. Our voices should matter the most, and we want a place where we can compete fairly and safely.
Miguel: When I first moved here, I was bullied, and I realized there was no escaping it. There is always going to be some kid who wants to steal your lunch money, or give you a wedgie, or a swirlie... instead of burying your heads in the sand, and pretending that bullying doesn't exist, or that you could get rid of it, you need to teach kids how to defend themselves.
Sam: Physically and mentally because sometimes the scars you can't see are the ones that hurt the most.
Karate is about strength. It's about discipline. It's about confidence. Lessons you can use for the rest of your life. Look, I didn't know where I would be today, or who I would be today if it weren't for my sensei. We don't need this tournament to do cool kicks or sell tickets. We need it to show the bullies of the world that we're not afraid. It's called the All Valley because it's for everyone to give everyone a chance to show what they can do to fight to become a champion and we deserve that chance.
Miguel
