* ''Series/CobraKai'': "The Good, The Bad, and the Badass" opens with a montage that cuts back and forth between Daniel [=LaRusso=], Johnny Lawrence, and John Kreese as they give speeches to their respective dojos Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang and Cobra Kai, showing the contrast in each sensei's philosophy.
-->'''Daniel [=LaRusso=]:''' I know it's been a while since our last class. After the fight at the school, I wasn't sure Miyagi-Do should stay open, but things have gotten worse since we shut down. That's why were back. The only way to stop Cobra Kai is if we all work together. But always remember, the reason we learn karate is—
-->'''Johnny Lawrence:''' To show the world that you're not a bunch of pansy-ass nerds! We're gonna show 'em that you're tough, because eagles don't get shit on! They're the ones that do the shitting. Just don't forget, being a badass doesn't mean being an asshole. The goal isn't to hurt other kids. The goal is to—
-->'''John Kreese:''' Win at all costs. Those we thought to be our allies have turned against us. Now our enemies are attacking us from all sides. There is no turning back. Now is the time to show them—
-->'''Daniel [=LaRusso=]:''' Forgiveness. Compassion. Mr. Miyagi used to say 'if you're looking for revenge, you could start by digging two graves." He was right. If you have hate in your heart, then you've already lost. I know it's not easy, but you have to do whatever you can is—
-->'''Johnny Lawrence:''' To beat the living crap out of 'em! Don't let 'em push you around. You gotta swoop down like an eagle, grab 'em with your claws, and sink your fangs into 'em...but I don't ever want you to start the fight. I just want you to—
-->'''John Kreese:''' Finish it... for good. Do I make myself clear?
-->'''Students:''' YES, SENSEI!!
