Wax on....wax off.....


Day 8.1

Miyagi: Now, ready?
Daniel: Yeah, I guess so.
Miyagi: [sighs] Daniel-san, must talk.
[they both kneel]
Miyagi: Walk on road, hm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later
[makes squish gesture]
Miyagi: get squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes" or karate do "no." You karate do "guess so,"
[makes squish gesture]
Miyagi: just like grape. Understand?
Daniel: Yeah, I understand.
Miyagi: Now, ready?
Daniel: Yeah, I'm ready.
Miyagi: Good, now take paper.
Daniel: Any piece?
Miyagi: Hai.
Daniel: Where do I start?
Miyagi: Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything.
Daniel: What?!?
Miyagi: Never mind Daniel-san. Start folding.
[Mr. Miyagi and Daniel begin folding paper. Miyagi making beautiful, ornate pieces of art, Daniel making spit wads.]
Daniel: [after seeing Miyagi practice the crane technique] Could you teach me?
Miyagi: First learn stand, then learn fly. Nature rule, Daniel-san, not mine.
Daniel: Where'd you learn it from?
Miyagi: Google, Daniel-san...Google.
