Mr. Han Quotes in The Karate Kid (2010)

Mr. Han: You have taught me very important lesson, Xiao Dre. Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up.

Mr. Han: Being still and doing nothing are two very different things.

Mr. Han: Your focus needs more focus.

Dre Parker: I thought you were just a maintenance man.

Mr. Han: You think only with your eyes, so you are easy to fool.

[Liang had just injured Dre's leg]

Dre Parker: Do you think I could've won?

Mr. Han: Win or lose doesn't matter, Xiao Dre.

Dre Parker: You know that's not I mean.

[long pause]

Mr. Han: Yes. I think you had a good chance.

Dre Parker: So let's do the fiery cup thing.

Mr. Han: You don't need to fight anymore. You have proven everything you need to prove.

Dre Parker: What, that I can get beat up easy and then quit? That's not balance, that's not real kung fu. You said that when life knocks you down, you could choose whether or not to get back up. Well, I'm trying to get back up, and why won't you help me?

Mr. Han: Because I cannot watch you get hurt anymore.

Dre Parker: Please, Mr. Han, please.

Mr. Han: Just tell me, Xiao Dre, why? Why do you need to go back out there so badly?

Dre Parker: Because I'm still scared. And no matter what happens, tonight, when I leave, I don't want to be scared anymore.

Mr. Han: What happened to eye?

Dre Parker: I ran into a pole.

Mr. Han: Interesting pole.

Mr. Han: Kung Fu lives in everything we do, Xiao Dre! It lives in how we put on the jacket, how we take off the jacket. It lives in how we treat people! Everything... is Kung Fu.

Mr. Han: Best fights are the ones we avoid.

Sherry Parker: So, um, how many students do you have?

Mr. Han: Including Xiao Dre?

Sherry Parker: Yeah.

Mr. Han: One.

Dre Parker: You don't know the rules?

Mr. Han: Of course I know the rules. Simple. You hit him, don't let him hit you.

Dre Parker: So what are we learning today?

Mr. Han: Chi. Internal energy. The essence of life. It moves inside of us. It flows through our bodies. Give us power from within.

Dre Parker: I get it. Like the Force in Star Wars. You're Yoda and I'm like... I'm like a Jedi.

Dre Parker: How'd you do that out there? You, like, didn't even punch them. They beat each other up.

Mr. Han: When fighting angry, blind men, best to just stay out of the way.

Dre Parker: Be kinda hot if I won this thing, huh, Mr. Han?

Mr. Han: Be kinda hot if you focused.

Dre Parker: Yeah, well, after that.

Mr. Han: I will teach you real Kung Fu.

Mr. Han: Jacket on! Jacket off!

Mr. Han: Rock and roll.

Dre Parker: [after Mr. Han does a cool move] Whoa...!

Mr. Han: Focus!

Mr. Han: I don't go...

Sherry Parker: Mr. Han, I'm not taking 'no' for an answer.

Mr. Han: [Dre is about to fight his first fight of the tournament] Ah! Two points to win. Go. Hit him two times. Focus! Focus!
