Johnny Lawrence: Look LaRusso, there's nothing you can say. This guy knows his shit. He's on a whole other level.
Daniel LaRusso: What dojo are you fighting for?
Johnny Lawrence: What?
Daniel LaRusso: What dojo are you fighting for?
Johnny Lawrence: Cobra Kai.
Daniel LaRusso: And does defeat exist in your dojo? Does it?
Johnny Lawrence: No.
Daniel LaRusso: Does fear exist in your dojo?
Johnny Lawrence: No.
Daniel LaRusso: And I sure as shit know that pain doesn't exist either. So stop acting like a little pussy and get out there and kick the living shit out of this asshole! You hear me?
Johnny Lawrence: Yes, Sensei!
Take a Right - S2-E6
Tommy: Today was fun, Johnny.
Johnny: You still got some moves, man. You should stop by the dojo sometime.
Tommy: Yeah, right! Just like the good old days. And where'd all that time go?
Johnny: I don't know.
Tommy: You know, there was something I never told you. Didn't think you needed to know. Screw it. I was in love with Ali.
Johnny: What?
Tommy: Freshman year. We were in the same homeroom, used to talk all the time. I was building up the courage to ask her out when someone else struck first. Then I joined Cobra Kai. I wanted to have the balls that you have. But not the smell.
Johnny: I don't think I ever really got over her. I mean, I dated plenty of babes after, but I never really let my guard down with any of them, you know? Not like with Ali.
Tommy: You still got one thing that's more important than anything, Johnny.
Johnny: What's that?
Tommy: Time. You still have time.
Johnny: Yeah? Time for what?
Tommy: Meet someone new. Change your life. Do what you want to do.
Johnny Lawrence: Robby. What's going on?
Robby Keene: I followed you.
Johnny Lawrence: What happened here?
Robby Keene: We're moving to a new location. Multiple locations, I think.
Johnny Lawrence: You kicked ass today. It could've gone either way.
Robby Keene: Yeah. Thanks.
Johnny Lawrence: Hey, it's just a match. Don't let it eat you up, trust me.
Robby Keene: It's not that, um, it's this kid, Kenny. I thought I could take him under my wing, be the mentor I wish I'd had when I was younger. When I saw him today it, uh, it was like looking in a mirror. And I realised I screwed everything up. And I had all this hate inside of me for you and for Miguel. And I thought I could use Cobra Kai to control that. But it just made things worse and now it's never going to get better.
Johnny Lawrence: That's not true. You had a good thing going with LaRusso. I got in the way of that. Don't blame yourself, you blame me.
Robby Keene: I'm sick of blaming you, Dad.
All Valley - S1-E7
Samantha LaRusso: Aren't we supposed to avoid fighting?
Daniel LaRusso: Sometimes you can't. Someday the fight may come to you. And I want to make sure you're ready. So today we're going to see what Miyagi-Do is made of.
Answer: Because despite whatever unresolved issues there are between them, he still cares about his son, and probably hopes for reconciliation one day.
