Kumiko Quotes in The Karate Kid Part II (1986)

Kumiko: [after Daniel offers to take Kumiko to America with him] But this is my home.

Daniel: Home is where you hang your hat.

Kumiko: Do you think that I would like America?

Daniel: I think you'd love it.

Kumiko: Do you think that it would love me?

Daniel: Well, I know one part of it that already does.

Daniel: [referring to their o-bon dance] Maybe we should take it on the road!

Kumiko: [confused] But we're on the road.

Sosuke: Look at her. Isn't she pretty?

Kumiko: That's the most boring goldfish I've ever seen in my entire life!

Kumiko: I only need page 95. It is my destiny.

Kumiko: Everyone wants to be the champagne, not the glass. Everyone wants to be the flower, not the vase.

Kumiko: Some will kill, some will be killed. That's the circle of life, though there are contradictions. There are no perfect circles anywhere in nature. But if you draw a circle with a compass and a big fat marker, a thick outline will make it seem perfect. I'll give you a sense of perfection, Tetsuzo. You can be a lion. I'll be a rabbit. I don't need thick outlines. My metal box is starting to rot. I'm gonna go to a higher level. A rabbit, a suicide, a killer, evil, water overflowing from a glass... I'll be whatever no one else wants to be. I'm sick of shameless outlines of people seeking happiness. They don't wanna be rabbits. They just wanna eat rabbits. There's no such jungle.

Kumiko: Everyone wants to be champagne, not the glass.

Noriko Shimabara: Stray cats roamed the back alleys like blood flows through a vein.

Kumiko: Stray cats form families instantly. No need to feel sorry for them, they're tough, they own this town. We have to relate to each other like stray cats do.
