The teens were all peeking through the Miyagi-Do dojo's door, trying to catch a glimpse of the words being said by Daniel and the tall Ponytail man.
"Your dad is pissed. Who is that guy?" Hawk asks.
"I have no idea." Sam answers.
"He looks like a Highlander." Bert comments.
"The Highlander. There can be only one." Mitch corrects.
"Dad looks really mad." Katie says. "I hope it isn't another guy dad had a tousle with in high school."
"After all that's happened, I hope not." Sam sighs.

"We can't just let them get away with what they did." Joey says.
"They know we're the biggest threat." Robby says, talking about himself, Tory, Joey and Amber. "They also know we can't risk violating probation."
"We need to get them somewhere no one is around." Amber says, watching Kenny throw a punch.
"Woah, slow down there." Joey says to Kenny as he almost knocks over the punching dummy. "What's up with you?"

"Look kid, Katie LaRusso is someone who will earn your trust and then betray you in the end. Take it from me, or Joey, we've been there." She states and Kenny goes back to punching.

He looks at each and every one of them. "Take all that anger and store it. You're gonna need it when the time comes. Is that understood?"
