Mr. Miyagi Quotes

Daniel LaRusso: I just want to ask you, do you know how to sweep?

Mr. Miyagi: Of course.

Daniel LaRusso: Would you mind showing me how? I’m not asking you to train me. I don’t want you to train me. Just this one thing. Just this one thing. I’d be so appreciative. All you have to give me is one thing. That’s it. Please, please, please you gotta do it. Be a pal.

Mr. Miyagi: You wait here. I be right back.

Daniel LaRusso: Where you going?

Mr. Miyagi: Just wait here.
