[pops cork] 1998 Bollinger. Been sitting in my cellar for years, waiting for the right moment.
Not unlike yourself.
Touché. I gotta give you credit, John. You reawakened something in me. Something I forgot was there. And I'll always be grateful for it.
Told you. [toasts] To Cobra Kai.
The number-one dojo in the Valley. I gotta say, I'm surprised you backed off on Nichols in the finals. That's not like you.
Well, what can I say? I had a moment of sympathy.
That's a first. You remember when you asked me what I thought your weakness was? It's Johnny Lawrence. That's what this was all about, right? It was never about us teaming up or bringing back the glory days. That was all bullshit.
That's not true.
Yes it is. And I fell for it. You know why? Because everyone has a weakness, John. And mine is you.
You think that I'm your weakness? Well, you've got it backwards, because I am your strength. I have been your strength ever since Vietnam.
Yes! There it is. I can always count on you playing the guilt card. How many times do you expect me to repay that debt before we're square?
[they notice the police arriving; to Silver] What did you do?
[flashback at the hospital]
It's okay, Raymond. The man who did this can't hurt you anymore. Give me his name and I promise you I'll put him away for a long, long time.
[remembers beatdown at the hands of Silver, who made him a certain deal] His name is Sensei... Kreese. John Kreese. [detective leaves; Stingray has an attack of conscience; weakly mutters] Fuck!
I'm shedding my weakness, Captain.
John Kreese, you're under arrest for aggravated assault and attempted murder. You have the right to remain silent.
[feigned surprise] John, what did you do?
Hands behind your back. Come on. [Kreese shoves him off but elbows another officer] Hey!
John, take it easy. Don't worry about a thing. I'm sure I can dig up an old friend or two to help out with Cobra Kai while you deal with your legal problems.
You're gonna regret this! I am Cobra Kai!
Put him in the car!
And don't worry about Lawrence. I'll take good care of him too.
