and chatting. As DANIEL jogs over to retrieve the ball, ALI, cute as a button, picks it up ready to toss it to him. Their eyes meet, ALI smiles. ALI tosses him the ball. DANIEL catches it on nis knee, bounces it to his ether knee, then to his head, then to his instep, then

She picks up Daniel's soccer ball and does the routine he showed her at the beach. It's obvious she's prac~ ticed. His heart swells.

Ali gives Daniel back the ball.

She trots off.

Ali stops. Turns.

She smiles that smile and rushes off.

A SOCCER BALL AGAINST A BLUE SKY, falling towards 16 earth.

ANGLE ON DANIEL going up to head it. Out of nowhere,

an elbow smashes into his solar plexus. Daniel crum- bles to the turf. The play heads down field.

DANIEL'S POV: Tommy looking over his shoulder. Bobby runs alongside and slaps him five.

Daniel, aware of Ali's eyes on him from the sidelines, drives down field -- going strong. He passes one de- fender, then fakes out another. There is only one man left between him and the goal: Bobby. Daniel fakes left, Bobby commits.

Daniel's cloud lifts. He beams at his mother. Lucille smiles knowingly and exits, leaving her son alone, but this time, smiling.

Daniel is doing front snap kicks, referring time and again to a karate instruction book opened, propped up on the couch. The kicks are awkward.

A KNOCK ON THE DOOR interrupts his counting. He opens

ALI

We're going to the arcade. Wanna come?

Sure. They begin to walk.

SUSAN

What kind of bike you got, Daniel?

A Honda? Daniel is at a loss for words.

On the spot, Daniel is about to bluff when he sees

something at the curb which stops him cold: the Cobras.

He heads back to the building.

And with a few quick strides he is inside.

Daniel hesitates for a moment, but something in the old man's face is reassuring.

Concentration etches on Daniel's face as the old man speaks.

Daniel nods,

Miyagi pushes a small bushy pine tree in front of him along with a pair of clippers.

Miyagi goes back to his own tree. Daniel is over~ whelmed by the task. Miyagi looks up for a moment, smiling.

Tentatively, Daniel makes the first cut. He looks at Miyagi for approval. Miyagi nods. Daniel clips again and again. Miyagi smiles. Daniel's concentration zeros in on the tree.

Lucille exits from the car. She sees Daniel's bicycle, repaired, outside Miyagi's shed. Curious, she ap- proaches. POV LUCILLE through the window: Daniel working on his tree, while Miyagi instructs him. The Sight gladdens her heart.

DANIEL and MIYAGI are clipping trees. LUCILLE appears at the entrance.

DANIEL

Mr. Miyagi fixed it. Come on in.

How much do we owe you?

MIYAGI

Welcome.

MIYAGI bows. LUCILLE not knowing how to respond dips awkwardly from the waist. LUCILLE

What are you doing?

MIYAGI

Wansal tree.

LUCILLE and CANIEL start to go. MIYAGI picks up CANIEL's tree and pucs it in his arms. MIYAGI

No forget tree, practice. MIYAGI puts the clippers in DANIEL's pocket. DANIEL Thanks. MIYAGE -- Welcome. Sayonara. DANIEL and LUCILLE walk to the screen door (ad lib). DANIEL '

He gave you the best one. Lceok the bike works perfect.

Daniel sits on the stairs, in a blze funk. Belew, Freddy and his friends emerge in Halloween costumes joking and laughing. Daniel's glocm deepens.

DANIEL comes to the screen door and enters.

MIYAGI is not there. DANIEL looks around for a moment and then notices a big Jack-o-latern carved with an oriental face. Next to it a smaller pumpkin drawn in outline with a similar face, uncarved. DANIEL admires then wistfully. MIYAGI enters, surprising DANIEL.

MIYAGI unloads little packs of candy from a bag. He tosses one tc DANIEL.

MIYAGI notices DANIEL admiring pumpkins.

DANIEL takes the carving knife and begins to carve the smaller pumpxin.

I'm not by myself, I'm with you.

DANIEL

I don't have a costume anvway. MIYAGI

If had costume, would go? DANIEL

You remember those bike accidents? MIYAGI

They weren't accidents. So, lixe, unless I go as the invisible Man, I'd be better off staying here.

A shower complete with curtain, shower head and grey yarn for water accears at the entrance. Tne ~Erone curtain is culled slightly and Daniel seeks out at the Gecorated-for-Hailoween gym. A THOUSAND COSTUMED KIDS ayrate to a HARD ROCK NUMSER under a strobe. Daniel's eyes find Ali, a scantily-clad Harem girl, dancing in a group. As the fast numser stops and a slow number begins Daniel asporcaches her. Ccusles are nai in close clinches. Daniel comes up behind Al: his curtain, encircles her and closes it. Sh Startled, but coming nose to nose with Danie into a smile.

Her arms encircle his neck. His go around her waist. ALI

Words lose their meaning. Eyes do the talking. Slowly their heads close the inch gap between them until their lips meet: torrid yet tender, intimate yet innocent. The heat rises.

Still face to face, they try to walk, laughing at the awkwardness of their position. Ali gets turned around. Daniel opens the curtain enough to see. POV BOTH: Twenty yards off in the crowd a giant chicken flops around with a basket of eggs. The chicken's eyes fix on the shower. He removes an egg from his basket and begins to run toward them, clucking and flapping.

The chicken leaps high in the air.

An egg comes out the top of the shower and splatters on Daniel's head. Ali laughs at the sight. Outside the chicken crows. Daniel forces a smile as the egg drops down his forehead.

Inside the shower, Daniel wipes the last spots of egg when he hears a voice he knows only too well.

VOICE OVER #1 exits, leaving the room empty. Daniel looks under the stall at one pair of legs.

Be climbs up on the sink and teers over the top of the toilet. POV DANIEL: Jonany seated, rolling seme joints. Daniel is reacy to flee when his eye catches a hese, a mop and a bucket in the corner. A light bulb goes off in his head. He runs the hese cver a light fixture so tne nozzle is aimed at the stall, turns on the water amd runs out. Right into the arns of the

rest of the Cobras.

Daniel doesn't waste a second. He breaks loose and heads for the gym. A moment later Johnny exits furi- ous, SOaking wet. The Cobras take off in pursuit.

Daniel runs through the crowd, past Ali. de is about to explain when he sees the Cobras see him. He splits. As the Codras pass Ali all becomes clear to her. She Sticks out her fcot, tripping Johnny. The others topple over him.

Shedding his costume in bits and pieces Daniel runs

across the street. Cars SCREECS to a halt, rear ending each other, as the Cobras come rushing out.

Winded, tiring, DANIEL takes off across a weed choked lot. At the end of the lot is a chain link fence, beyond she fence is hone

Daniel revives, his vision clears. He looks around at

a familiar setting. A repugnant smell catches his nose. He removes an offensive compress from his head -* when Miyagi appears.

He firmly slaps the compress on Daniel's head.

As Miyagi dabs at Daniel's cuts and bruises, Daniel looks around.

Miyagi blinks. A revelation slowly unfolds.

DANIEL

You? Miyagi bows and smiles.

But the words will not come.

A KETTLE WHISTLES. Miyagi rises.

He goes over to the hot plate and pours two cups of tea. Daniel sits up slowly.

DANIEL

For me, rule number one, no like get involved.

Daniel gets up and throws the rag off. DANIEL Well thanks for nothing. I didn't have enough trouble. Now I gotta carry your weight too.

Daniel stalks out. Miyagi'ts face reflects his troubled thoughts.

Daniel is halfway to his building.

Daniel stops and turns, petulantly.

CONTINUED: 54

Daniel's petulance gives way to a smile. Miyagi turns to go back to the maintenance shed.

Miyagi sees by Daniel's face that his joke is not understood.

Daniel nods.

Miyagi enters the maintenance shed and closes the door.

Miyagi waits by his dusty old pickup. Daniel arrives, nervous as can be.

Miyagi slaps the truck's keys into his hand and climbs into the passenger side.

Daniel climbs in behind the wheel and starts the en- gine, GRINDING the ignition.

Miyagi looks straight ahead, waiting to be off. OMITTED . 56

CLOSEUP: On the wall a poster: ALL VALLEY UNDER 18 OPEN KARATE CHAMPIONSHIP. Twenty STUDENTS stand in four lines doing punches from a difficult horse-stance position. Kreese prowls the ranks, barking the cadence. As Miyagi and Daniel take seats in the first row of the visitors' section, one of the students shifts his eyes a fraction in their direction. Ina flash, Kreese sweeps his legs out. The student's head hits the wooden floor hard, opening a gash above his eye. Kreese fires a fist towards the stunned boy's face, kiaiing ferociously. The fist stops a hair's breadth from the boy's nose. The whole class stops in mid-punch. ‘No one bats an eye,

The student jumps up, bows to Kreese, and runs into the locker room, shamed.

The class rushes to don hand and foot protectors. Bobby's eye, which is suitably blackened, catches Daniel and Miyagi. He nudges Johnny, whose glare makes Daniel squirm.

Daniel enters. Miyagi is not present, but several

miniature Jack O'Lanterns, carved in an oriental motif, are. Daniel examines them wistfully, then sits dewn to

work on his tree which is really shaping up. Miyagi with an arm full of plumbing supplies, including a shower head, enters.

Bobby jumps up, along with another student, JERRY, and runs to face Kreese. Both boys bow to Kreese and turn to face each other.

Before the word is out, Bobby spins, burying his foot in Jerry's stomach, doubling himover. Bobby looks at Kreese for approval.

What're you looking at? Finish him.

Bobby jumps on the prostrate student, delivering a chop to the back of his exposed neck. He snaps to attention before Kreese. Kreese nods. Bobby bows to him.

Kreese stands over Bobby's hapless opponent, who is still on his knees trying to catch his breath.

ANGLE ON DANIEL: He has heard these words before.

Jerry tries to stand, but his wind has not returned. Kreese yanks him up by his gi until the boy's face is

inches from his own. His eyes turn hypnotic, demanding.

The boy gasps for breath.

Johnny and another boy his age jump up to face Kreese, Johnny moves with a slight limp. As ne presents him- self before Kreese, he shoots a look at Miyagi and Daniel.

Johnny leans forward and whispers in Kreese's ear. Kreese's hard eyes train on Daniel and Miyagi.

ANGLE ON Daniel, fidgeting uncomfortably.

As he goes to rise, Miyagi's hand rests on his knee, Staying him. Kreese, with Johnny behind him, ap- proaches. He stops before Miyagi, towering over him, glowering.

Daniel slaps on the first bit of wax and begins to rub haphazardly. Miyagi comes up from behind and guides his hand in the prescribed circular motion.

An exhausted Daniel removes the last bit of wax from the last vehicle. All the cars shine like new.

Daniel enters. The house is sparse to the point of containing nothing. Miyagi sits in a meditative zazen posture against the far wall. Daniel approaches him, is about to say something, thinks better of it, turns, and goes to exit. As he opens the door, a loud snore emanates from Miyagi. He turns and looks at the old man. Another snore punctuates the silence.

Daniel is at his locker when Ali comes up quickly. She

Daniel looxs over the old man's shoulder to an empty plate sitting just inside on the table. Meanwhile, Miyagi is sliding back and forth across the deck, bare- foot, checking for splinters.

He bows to Daniel. Daniel, perplexed, bows back.

Miyagi steps into the garden and is soon lost in the dara«ness.

Can't you call, say you'll be a little late?

Daniel gets down on his knees, trying to sway her with comedy.

Daniel's smilie disappears. Resentment surfacing, he rises.

Mother and son lock eyes for a long moment. LUCILLE That's what I like about you,

LaRusso. When you're right, you're right.

Lucille's car moves slowly past the large, luxurious

homes of the Hills, as Daniel scans the doors for Ali's address.

CONTINUED: 74

The opulence has an effect on both mother and son. She is impressed, he is intimidated. They stop in front of Ali's house. A Mercedes adorns the driveway. Daniel seems frozen to the seat.

Hesitantly, Daniel exits. He heads up the walk, almost sorry he has come. He rings the doorbell and Ali pops out brightly.

Seeing her, Daniel's nervousness recedes a bit. As they head down the walk, back towards the Chevy, a big, midnight blue four-door Mercedes pulls into the drive- way. Two elegantly handsome people in tennis whites exit from the car.

rather distasteful look which Daniel picks up on. His nervousness comes roaring back.

Daniel shakes hands uncomfortably.

Both parents smile rather thinly. Neither responds. Ali and Daniel head for the Chevy.

Ali moves her butt to avoid a spring sticking through the seat. Daniel eyes it, embarrassed.

Daniel closes the door. Lucille turns the key to start the ignition. Nothing happens. Lucille looks at Daniel. Daniel's embarrassment mounts.

Great. Let it roll, and when I say "now," pop it. Okay?

Lucille hops out. Daniel looks at Ali, smiles weakly, but she doesn't seem to notice his discomfort at all. To her, all this is just fine. She slides over behind the wheel. Daniel and Lucille set at the rear of the car, ready to push. Daniel looks over to where Mr. and Mrs. Mills watch, tight-lipped, from their doorway.

Mr. Mills is saying something to his wife.

Daniel shoots a murderous look at his mother as they begin to push. The car rolls, downhill, gaining momen- tum, getting away from them.

A second elapses. The engine catches. Ali hits the brake. Daniel and Lucille run to catch up. They hop in the car on either side. The car disappears down the street, Mr. and Mrs. Mills staring after it in dismay.

The parking lot is packed with kids and their cars and motorcycles. Before Lucille can pull into the parking lot, Daniel stops her.

Lucille looks at her son oddly, but does not question him. She stops at the curb. Daniel and Ali hop out.

He starts walxing towards her, hoping to head her off, when a convertible full of Ali's friends cuts in front of them. Johnny is in the back seat.

Lucille pulls up behind them. Seeing Daniel, she HONKS and waves. He cringes.

Ali glares at him.

Ali and Daniel walk back to Lucille's car.

She gets in the Chevy.

Daniel lifts his bike.

He turns to go.

She reaches to his lips and extracts a piece of paper from his mouth. She hands it to him.

She ducks into the house. Her gesture has brought his mood back. He walks back to the car a little lighter.

OMITTED 81

Daniel, on his bike, approaches the front door where a large note is affixed.

CLOSEUP: THE NOTE

"Paint house. No up and down. Side side. One half left hand, one half right hand.”

To the left, another half-dozen cans of paint are stacked. Daniel is incensed. He rips the note off the door, crumbles it, and flings it onto the ground.

After a moment, his anger subsides. He removes the lid on the first can of paint and begins to stir it with a brush.

The house is almost finished. Daniel is slowly doing

the last strokes, breathing in and out, when Miyagi

pulls up. Daniel does a slow burn but does not turn around. Miyagi crosses the yard, whistling happily, carrying a full string of freshly-caught fish.

Daniel's brush stops in mid~stroke.

CONTINUED: 26

Back to the wall, dangerous-looking even with his eyes closed, the sensei, JOHN KREESE, kneels facing his students. As Daniel watches with rapt attention, Kreese's eyelids rise. His eyes, cold, piercing, seem to be looking right through Daniel. They send a shiver up his spine.

As one, the class bows, touching foreheads to floor, and rises. No one moves. The air is solemn with si- lence.

The response is sharp, booming.

ANGLE ON Daniel, watching, entranced. Kreese's face sweeps the line of students from left to right, fixing each one with his intense, dangerous eyes. Tension crackles in the air. Finally, Kreese's voice breaks the silence.

A black belt springs from his knees. His feet hit the floor with a solid thump. His clenched fists are riveted in front of him.

The black belt snaps heels and arms together smartly, coming to attention. He bows crisply from the waist. Kreese bows back and steps aside as the black belt sprints to take his place.

As he turns, Daniel's knees go weak. Johnny's eyes meet Daniel's above the heads of the still kneeling class.

CONTINUED: (2) 83 Daniel is stopped by the edge in his voice.

Daniel grits his teeth, but obeys, returning to stand before the old man, sullen, distant.

Daniel does not move. MIYAGI (sharp) Show. DANIEL (defiant) I can't lift my arms.

Miyagi feels around Daniel's shoulder for a moment. He

‘rubs his hands together back and forth, very fast, then

applies them to Daniel's shoulder, one on each side, pressing hard with his thumbs and palms.

Daniel does as he is told. To his surprise the ache is gone. Miyagi corrects the angle of his elbow, tucking it, in.

Daniel catches the rhythm, making perfect half circles. Without warning, Miyagi throws a chest punch. Before Daniel realizes it, one of his circling hands has in- tercepted the punch and deflected it effortlessly. His eyes find Miyagi's. His face lights up. Miyagi re- mains emotionless.

CONTINUED: (3) 83

Daniel does as he is told. Miyagi makes the right corrections so that Daniel's arms circle down. The old man shoots a half-speed kick to Daniel's stomach. Daniel's hand deflects it smoothly.

Now Daniel is eager, quick to comply. Miyagi makes a small adjustment, Daniel keeps painting. Miyagi throws a head punch. On the upstroke, Daniel's bent wrist

catches Miyagi's punch. Miyagi throws a stomach punch. Daniel's downstroke deflects it perfectly.

Daniel needs no prompting. As he draws his hand from side to side across his body, he deflects two rapid hook punches thrown by the stone-faced old man.

Daniel's eyes lock into Miyagi's.

Miyagi fires a chest punch. Daniel deflects it easily.

Again, the block is there.

Miyagi fires hard for the head. Daniel's snapping block is there to meet the attack.

Daniel's palm heel crashes into Miyagi's fist.

CONTINUED: (4) 83 He punches. Daniel blocks.

Daniel's block snaps into place.

Daniel sweeps two kicks out of the way.

The punches come faster. The blocks are right there. Suddenly, at the height of the exercise, Miyagi stops. Daniel, breathing hard, elated, waits for more. Miyagi picks up his fish.

He turns abruptly and enters the house, slamming the door behind him before Daniel can say another word.

Lucille exits in her robe, still sleepy. She knocks on Daniel's door.

When there is no anSwer, she opens. Daniel's bed is empty, made. Lucille heads for the kitchen.

She stops at the living room, half painted. And on one unpainted wall a message: TO BE CONTINUED. Lucille couldn't be more pleased.

OMITTED 85

Daniel practices with a soccer ball, dribbling alone, at half speed. Out of nowhere Ali charges past steal- ing the ball, heading for the goal. Daniel pursues, gets the ball and is about to kick for a goal when he mock=-trips. Ali takes the chance and boots one home. Daniel rises, smiling.

REVISED 10-28-83 (BLUE) 69.

The varsity soccer team takes the field, running past Daniel and Ali. Johnny passes, his eyes set straight ahead. After he passes, Ali notices a peculiar look on

his face.

Ali pecks him on the cheek.

And runs off to join the cheerleaders.

The surf crashes onto the shore. DANIEL stands with MIYAGI at the water's edge. DANIEL puts his foot forward to test the temperature of the ocean. He withdraws it just as fast

and looxs at MIYAGI beseechinagly. MIYAGI's expression does not change. Like a man condemned, DANIEL walks into the water. Almost immediately, he is capsized by a wave. He stands and looks back at MIYAGI.

MIYAGI

Not to worry. Will feel good.

With that, the.old man turns and waiks dcwn the veach toward a line of wooden pilings jutting out into the sea. DANIEL stands again bracing himself against the onslaught of the ocean. He begins to throw front-.kicks into the waves to his own cadence. A wave hits hard. DANIEL weaves unsteadily until the undertow pulls him down. He struggles to regain his focting, finally succeeding and resumes kicking until another wave wips him out. When he stands again, he looks down the beach to where MIYAGI is left standing on the last piling calmly balancedon his left leg. A wave looms towards him but just as it breaks, the old man ieaps over it. He fires a kick with his left leg and lands: perfectly balanced on the piling in the same position as when he started.

DANIEL's disappointment shows. MIYAGI Natures rule Danielsan, not mine.

They approach MIYAGI's pickup and trouble. Two big brawny motorcyle riding Yahoos lean on the pickup drinking beer through long neck bottles which are lined up on the truck's fender.

YAHOO #1 Hey look it. Kid has a pet nyp.

YAHOO. #2 He know any tricks Kid?

DANIEL's fear freezes-him to the spot. MIYAGI approaches the truck. He bows politely.

MIYAGI

Excusé please, boy cold, must leave. Kindly remove bottles.

The two men look at each other and burst out laughing.

YAHOO #1 drains the bottle he is holding and with exaggerated precision lines it up with the others. He burps loudly in MIYAGI's face.

YAHOO #1 Kindry do it yourself Mr. Moto.

He stands very still and then explodes with a blinding chop

he neatly slices the neck of all the bottles. No longer smiling, his eyes pierce both men. They sheepishly collect the bottle bottoms and backoff towards their choppers. MIYAGI turns to a very proud DANIEL holding the truck door open.

90-92 OMITTED 90-92

Daniel is getting dressed to meet Ali at the country club. He has tried on half a dozen different outfits. Nothing looks right. The current one is white sairt, white pants, white sneakers. He looks in the Mirror and is about to undress for the umpteenth time, when his mother pokes her head in the door.

CONTINUED: 93

She eyes the mess in his room curiously, but says noth- ing. Daniel decides to stay all in white.

The Chevy, the bicycle on top, with Daniel driving, pulls up to the curb.

Lucille exits and hurries inside. Daniel wheels the car into a parking space, gets out, takes the key chain, slips the car key off, and sticks it in his pocket.

Ali and her parents enter the room, greeting people left and right as they make their way to the table. A band plays, people dance. As Ali passes her friend Susan, sitting with her parents, Susan points towards a far table trying to warn Ali about something. Ali does not catch it until she reaches the table. Her mouth tightens when she sees who the dinner company is: Johnny and his PARENTS. Everyone greets everyone.

- ALI Thank you.

Ali's response is to sit down and snap open her menu, effectively covering her face. The snub is apparent to everyone.

Daniel parks his Chevy in the shadows and scurries over to the front of the club.

CONTINUED: 96

His white shirt, white pants and white sneakers identi- cal to the uniforms of the car parks. As he is stand- ing there a Mercedes pulls up. The driver, thinking Daniel works there, leaves the door open and slips Daniel a dollar. Daniel recovers, hops into the car, and parks it.

Ali is dancing with her father. Johnny catches her

eyes from the table. He smiles widely. She purses her lips, ignoring him.

Uh, a friend. Mr. Mills looks at Ali with a hard eye.

Mr. Mills all too gladly hands his daughter over to Johnny. Ali is less than pleased. Johnny is all sweetness and light.

Ali is cool, tensed. She does not respond.

She tries to break away. Johnny holds on.

Reluctantly, Ali agrees.

Daniel paces outside. He looks at the clock on the wall: 9:45. Anxiously, he walks around the side of the club.

Daniel slips into the kitchen.

Daniel walks through the kitchen and peeks out of the swinging doors which lead to the dining room.

DANIEL'S POV: Johnny dancing with Ali. Ali's back is to him, but Johnny is not. Johnny sees Daniel. He brings his lips onto Ali's quickly, before she can respond. ANGLE ON Daniel, hurt, betrayed, cisappear- ing. Ali pulls away from Johnny. As she does, a loud CRASH comes from the kitchen. All eyes, including hers, look. POV ALL: through the now open kitchen door. Daniel and a waiter sprawled amidst broken dishes and splattered food. Ali and Daniel lock eyes. He scrambles up and runs out. Ali turns to Johnny smiling, triumphant. Her anger erupts. She clips him with a right hand punch and runs after Daniel, despite bh parents' protests.

He ushers Daniel into the house. Daniel looks for other guests. There ar@ none. Mivagi leads Daniel over to his low table where a twe-thirds emnoty bottle of scotch sits amidst yellow newspapers and framed pictures. Miyagi pours two healthy shots of scotch and hands one to Daniel. Miyagi clinks glasses against Daniel's noisiiy.

He walks away as if she wasn't there.

Daniel turns.

He stalks off.

Daniel is rowing, putting all his strength behind the Oars. Miyagi, a fisherman's hat on his face, appears to be sleeping.

Daniel is more than happy to comply. Miyagi prepares his fishing rod with a hook and bait.

Miyagi bangs the bow seat. Daniel stands, balancing precariously, trying not to fall overboard, as the ocean rolls and sways against the sides of the small boat. Miyagi throws his line overboard, his back to Daniel.

Daniel does not get it.

Miyagi looks over his shoulder calmly and begins to rock the boat, back and forth. Daniel wobbles, trying to keep his balance. As Miyagi rocks more violently, he topples into the sea. His head comes to the sur- face, spitting water.

Daniel climbs back into the boat and stands on the seat again.

Daniel begins to do all his blocks. Miyagi rocks the boat little by little. Daniel retains his balance.

Miyagi rocks the boat again, violently. Daniel goes flying overboard. He surfaces, spluttering.

Daniel doesn't think so.

A small crescent of sand nestled beneath the towering cliffs. Miyagi and Daniel sit around the fire feasting on the catch of the day. Daniel warms himself.

This is not the image Daniel wants to have of his teacher.

DANIEL

Karate is fighting. I mean, you train to fight.

Miyagi looks at Daniel with a piercing eye.

8l. CONTINUED: 109

Daniel ponders the question for a long moment. When he gives his answer, it is with a certainty borne of experience.

The answer brings a smile to Miyagi's face. It is something he has been waiting to hear. He pats Daniel's knee.

He rises and extinguishes the fire.

He brings his gear to the boat. Daniel follows.

Daniel stands in the glare of the overhead light. From the shroud of the gloaming darkness, he hears something being dragged across the yard. A moment later, Miyagi enters the lighted area, pulling what looks like a coatrack with a catcher's mitt tied to its middle, and bamboo staves attached by springs, sticking out at odd angles. He rights the contraption opposite Daniel.

Daniel looks at the contraption and at Miyagi askance.

Daniel bows, lowering his eyes to the ground. Miyagi raps him sharply atop the head.

Daniel rubs his head. Sure Miyagi has flipped. He complies nonetheless, bowing cautiously, his eyes on the dummy.

CONTINUED: 110

Miyagi taps the catcher's mitt.

Daniel does so, lightly, cautiously. Miyagi corrects his fist.

Daniel punches harder, nothing happens.

Daniel fires his best punch; as he makes contact with the mitt, a bamboo pole comes flying over the top and raps him on the head, stunning him. Miyagi laughs hysterically.

Daniel rubs his head, scowling. He sets and punches again, firing a head block almost simultaneously with the punch. This time, however, a side pole swings out, catching Daniel square in the ribs, knocking ‘the wind out of him. Miyagi nearly collapses in gales of laughter. Pissed off, Daniel punches again, only to be hit by a pole from the PPPesi.te Side. Miyagi laughs so hard he chokes.

Miyagi lifts one of the bamboo staves in victory. Daniel stands back, pride and body bruised. Miyagi's laughter subsides as he stands in front of the rack himself.

DANIEL pulls a brand new kei out of the box. The back is embroidered in calligraphy over a bonsai tree. DANIEL tries the jacket on, thrilled.

Miyagi coaxes Daniel off. His eyes however stay on the gi bag at the Official's feet, and the black belt Sticking out of it.

The various dojo are being announced over the P.A. System as they line up on the gym floor. The packed Stands respond with applause. Daniel comes running uo to Miyagi and Ali, his gi flopping open. Miyagi wraps the black belt around his waist.

Just then over the P.A. system the Cobra Kai is announced.

Rufus opens with an explosive back kick which catches Daniel in the shoulder and lifts him right out of the ring. The Referee summons him back.

Rufus charges, throwing a barrage of punches, none of them landing effectively.. Daniel is driven back out of the ring again. The Referee signals him back impa- tiently. DANIEL'S POV: Several Cobras watch from the side of the ring, their attitudes smug.

Daniel's opponent charges in with a sidekick. Daniel sidesteps, mid-blocks and fires a reverse punch to the spine.

Rufus charges again, this time with a front punch. Daniel hops to the side and snaps a roundhouse kick to the stomach. He makes enough contact to stop the charge and deflate a little air from the bigger boy.

. REFEREE Point. Kick. LaRusso. Bow. Winner. LaRusso. Miyagi-do.

Ali breaks into applause. Daniel is very pleased. He looks from Miyagi and Ali over to the Cobras. The smugness of a moment ago has been replaced by tight mouths and hard eyes.

OMITTED 133

Lucille is scouring the hall, going from ring to ring looking for Daniel. When she spies one ring with many more spectators around it than the others, she rushes over. LUCILLE'S POV: Across the ring Ali stands with Miyagi and in the ring her son faces off against Brad. Referee signals the match to begin. Right off, Daniel's opponent throws a strong front kick at Daniel's face. Lucille's heart goes to her mouth.

ANGLE ON Daniel sidestepping the kick gracefully and scoring a point with a classic reverse-front punch.

CONTINUED: 134

Lucille is startled. Her displeasure is lost in her growing excitement. She nudges her way to the front of the crowd. LUCILZe'S POV: On the far wall, a chart tracks the eliminations down to the finals. She sees Daniel's name as the victor in several matches. A small seed of pride blossoms in her as she turns back to the match. Daniel's opponent charges with a punch, kiaiing. Daniel blocks to the inside the counterpunch- es. The Referee calls the point and brings the boys to center.

Daniel bows to the Referee, then to his opponent. The Referee raises his hand and the crowd applauds appreci- atively. Daniel hears a familiar voice cheering louder than the rest. He turns to Lucille, applauding proudly. He smiles grandly.

Johnny, beating an opponent into the ground with multi- ple techniques. An elimination board serves to keep us current on the tournament's progress. Bobby, scoring with a flying wheel xick. Daniel scoring on a counter- punch. Johnny, annihilating another opponen: vicious- ly, as Kreese looks on. Daniel scoring with a front kick. Bobby scoring with a back kick. Johnny scoring with a fake snap into a roundhouse kick. Bobby scoring with a flying chop. Johnny scoring with a flying chop. Daniel scoring with a flying chop. Off the point, Daniel looks across the room to Kreese, whose arms are folded as he watches silently. The crowd from the ring applauds. Daniel does not take his eyes from Kreese's face.

The bleachers are filling up. The taped rings are gone. Covered by chairs which are being occupied by

spectators, Daniel is seated with Miyagi, Lucille and

Ali. An INSTRUCTOR passes and pats Daniel on the shoulder.

Daniel accepts the praise with a sparse smile. ANGLE ON THE ANNOUNCER at center ring.

CONTINUED: 136

Daniel watches Johnny rise and jog up to the ring, Supremely confident. The Cobra Kai contingent applauds wildly. Daryl, a head shorter, enters, also cheered loudly. As the match begins Daryl throws a series of incredible techniques. Jonnny avoids them easily. Twice more Daryl attacks looking like a world beater. Johnny blocks and retreats. Kreese calls time and whispers something in Jonnny's ear. A moment later the Match resumes. Daryl throws a big technique. Instead of blocking Johnny spins, dropping Daryl with a back kick. Daryl's sensei rushes to his student, writhing on the floor. He signals to the Referee. Johnny's arms are raised in victory. Cheers from the Cobras mingle with boos from the audience.

ANGLE ON KREESE: in a corner of the ring. Johnny just behind him. As Bobby is about to climb into the ring, Kreese speaks to him low.

Kreese touches Bobby's knee joint.

CONTINUED: 137

Kreese trains his iron eyes on Bobby. The boy cannot endure their searing heat. His head drops, as Kreese bends him to his will. Bobby sullenly enters the ring.

ANGLE ON Johnny: just behind Kreese. He has heard the entire exchange and disappointment in his teacher's words are evident. xXreese looks up to find Miyagi in the opposite corner, his penetrating eyes on him. Kreese looks away and finds Johnny. Johnny looks away. Bobby and Daniel face off.

Bobby throws a low front kick. Daniel goes to block, only to find, it is a fake for a wheel kick that whis- tles an inch from his ear.

The boys circle. Bobby catches Kreese's commanding eyes at ringside. His concentration lapses. Daniel sees the opportunity and lunges with a punch.

Bobby does not respond. His eyes are locked with Kreese's. His breath comes in short nervous gasps.

Bobby puts his hands up. There is no light in his face, only tired resignation. His eyes shift once more to Kreese. :

In SLOW MOTION, Bobby jumps high in the air, appearing to throw a flying sidekick. Instinctively, Daniel's hands rise, but instead of kicking out, Bobby drops and pushes the blade of his foot into Daniei's knee, the full weight of his body behind it. A sickening CRACK fills the arena. Lucille screams. Ali's hand goes to her mouth. Miyagi rushes into the ring. The crowd rises, sucking air, sharing the pain. Daniel col- lapses, grabbing his knee, feeling more pain than he has ever known. ANGLE ON JOHNNY: astounded that this has happened.

CONTINUED: 138

The Referee pushes Bobby roughly aside. He kneels to examine Daniel and waves for a stretcher. The crowd is on its feet, booing. Cries of "foul" fill the air.

Bobby exits the ring to boos and catcalls. He walks towards Kreese and the other Cobra Kai students, tears welling in his eyes, stopping just long enough to untie his belt and drop it defiantly at Kreese's feet.

Kreese glares at him, but Bobby is no longer intimi- dated. He meets the glare fully. Johnny and the other Cobras avert their eyes.

Johnny hesitates. Then obeys.

Daniel lies on a bench in the empty room as a DOCTOR

packs his bag. Lucille, Ali and Miyagi all stand in

the background, the women visibly upset; Miyagi his usual stoic self.

The Doctor exits. Lucille and Ali rush to comfort Daniel.

A DRY RUBBING SOUND catches everyone's ear. ALL POV: Miyagi standing, rubbing his hands together so quickly that smoke scems to rise from them.

Johnny and Kreese are in the ring about to accept the. winner's trophy wnen Ali runs up to the Announcer.

ANGLE ON: Daniel, Lucille, and Miyagi making it through the crowd to ringside. ANGLE ON: Kreese and Johnny doing a slow burn as Daniel enters the ring.

Daniel throws two kicks, not taking his eyes off Johnny.

Ali and Lucille sit at ringside. Kreese stalks back to his corner and glares across at Miyagi who has taken up his position in the opposite corner. The contestants Meet at center ring.

CONTINUED: 141

Daniel's eyes do not leave Johnny's.

Johnny opens with a flurry of punches and kicks, driv- ing Daniel back. His last technique is a wheel kick, which Daniel ducks and follows up with a strong reverse punch to the stomach.

The boys circle each other. Johnny throws a backhand, followed by a strong sidekick. Daniel drops, pokes one leg in front of Johnny's support leg, and one leg be- hind, and twists. Johnny goes crashing to the canvas. Daniel scrambles up and delivers a chop to his neck.

The crowd goes crazy. Kreese's jaw tightens. Johnny rises, his nose bleeding from the fall.

He waves Johnny over, makes believe he is examining the wound.

Johnny hesitates.

KREESE

Then take him. Johnny returns to center ring.

CONTINUED: (2) 141

Johnny explodes with a full powered foot sweep which catches Daniel just below his bad knee. As Daniel spins off balance Johnny drills a punch into his back.

The Cobra Kai students cheer louder than the rest of the partisan crowd. Daniel rises slowly and returns to center ring, his limp more pronounced.

Right off the mark Johnny throws another sweep, fol- lowed by a roundhouse kick to the head. As Daniel's foot is swept, he spins into Johnny's roundhouse, which makes contact with his mouth. He hits the canvas hard.

Daniel gets up slowly, in pain. Blood trickles from a split lip. His limp is more pronounced. Johnny's eyes go to Kreese. He nods tersely at Johnny, commanding him to continue the barrage.

Johnny sweeps Daniel again, but before he can get his scoring technique off, Daniel is on the canvas, and the Referee is calling the fighter to center ring. Daniel is in pain. As he comes to center ring, Johnny gets into fighting position.

Johnny charges, coming at Daniel with everything he has. Daniel is almost defenseless, pummeled to the mat. The Referee breaks the fighters and sets them back at center. Daniel looks over to his corner, where Miyagi stands impassively.

CONTINUED: (3) 141

Johnny sets low, menacing, ready for the footsweep, again. Daniel takes his eyes off Miyagi and raises one leg, his bad leg, up in the air. He puts his hands out in front of him, setting in a perfect crane stance.

His eyes lock with Miyagi's. The old man's mouth creases in the smailest of smiles. Daniel's eves turn to Johnny. The stance has confused him and the Referee as well, who hesitates for a moment. Daniel remains immobile.

But Johnny stalls, perplexed, until Kreese's voice shakes him out of his confusion.

Johnny takes a deep breath and lunges. IN SLOW MOTION, Daniel leaps straight up with all his strength. his leg tucked in. His kick catches Johnny in the jaw. Johnny goes down. Daniel lands on his bad leg ana collapses as well. The crowd erupts, having never seen such technique. Kreese glares at Johnny, still on the can- vas, and leaves the corner, stalking out of the arena. The Referee calls the fighters to center.

The Referee raises Daniel's arm in victory. Ali and Lucille are all over Daniel. Miyagi stands proudly by his side accepting kudos as well. The trophy is thrust into Daniel's hands by Johnny.

For the first time Ali and Johnny can look at each other without tension.

Miyagi, Daniel, and Ali exit. Some youngsters stop Daniel for an autograph. He obliges.

In her excitement she grabs Miyagi and kisses him as well. He blushes.

Lucille runs to her car.

Daniel notices Miyaoi looking around.

Miyagi does not seem to hear him. He walks toward the parking lot, still looking. Ali and Daniel follow.

The Cobra Kai students load into Kreese's black van with a Cobra Kai emblem painted boldly on its side. Johnny is the last one in line to enter the van. Kreese bars the door.

Kreese, angered by the statement, grabs Johnny by the shirt front and pulls him to within inches of his face. Just as Daniel, Ali, and Miyagi turn the corner.

A voice from the side turns Kreese:

Kreese throws Johnny aside like a cag doll and rushes Miyagi, lunge punching for his face. At the last mo- ment, Miyagi sidesteps. Kreese's punch goes up to his elbow through a car windshield Miyagi was standing in front of. Ignoring his bloodied nand, Kreese whiris and throws a skip kick. Again Miyagi sidesteps at the last moment, causing Kreese's kick to connect with the side of his own van. The steel bends beneath his power. Enraged, Kreese lunges at Miyagi to kill him. Miyagi does not move. At the last moment, he raises his hand, palm out, and intercepts Kreese's fist. Kreese stops dead in his tracks. The old man's mouth creases in an ironic smile, as he Slowly applies ores- Sure to Kreese's fist, forcing Kreese down to his knees. ANGLE ON the Cobra Kal students iooking out of the van, their eyes wide witn terror and amazement. ANGLE ON Daniel, proud of his teacher. Kreese is brought to his knees, his eyes for the first time, flicker with fear. Miyagi's smile dies. His eyes turn to stone. He cocks his hand back slowly.

Miyagi's hand is cocked as far as it can go behind his head. His face is a mask of vengeance.

ANGLE ON the Cobra Kai students, their mouths fairly trembling with fear. ANGLE ON Daniel.

He cannot believe his teacher would abandon what he has taught him. ANGLE ON Kreese: He looks up at Miyagi, his face rattled with fear. Miyagi's eyes flash. His hand cuts through the air whistling towards Kreese's unprotected head.
