Cobra Kai · Season 1, Episode 15

John Kreese, Johnny Lawrence and others in “Unfinished Business”

Ah, hey, Johnny. Here to congratulate me on my victory?

We need to talk.

Talk about what?

JLJohnny Lawerence

About what you've been putting in my students' heads since I've been gone.

The same lessons I taught you, the way of the fist: strike first, strike hard, no mercy.

Yeah, that's where we have a problem.

Oh, do we?

Yeah. Cobra Kai needs to change. What you taught didn't work back then and it doesn't work now.

Well, whaddya want to change it to? Something nice and snugly like a blanket?

No. Cobra Kai will always be badass. But there's a difference between no mercy and no honor.

Ah... honor. Lemme tell you something. When you're in a war, the other side never fights with any "honor." Take it from me. Trust me; I know, I've been there. Be glad that you don't know.

Yeah, I don't know what shit you went through back then, but these are good kids, and they don't need to relive our mistakes.

The only "mistake" is teaching them weakness. Like what you did when you backed down from LaRusso's challenge. Is that what the new Cobra Kai is all about?

You trying to get me riled up? It's not gonna work. I am responsible for these students.

And I am responsible for you. I'm worried about you, Johnny. I see what's gonna happen; you're gonna let your guard down, and that's gonna leave you vulnerable.

Maybe that's what you think, but this is my dojo, and I make the rules.

Your dojo? You forget who started Cobra Kai?

I haven't forgotten anything. You know what? I'm sorry, I thought this could work, but I was wrong.

Look-

We're done. I don't ever wanna see you in this dojo again.
