The Karate Kid (1984) written by:
Daniel: I'm being your goddamned slave, is what I'm doing. We had a deal.
Miyagi: So?
Daniel: So, you're supposed to teach and I'm supposed to learn, remember? It's four days and I haven't learned a goddamned thing.
Miyagi: Learn plenty.
Daniel: Yea, how to sand your deck, how to wax your cars, how to paint your house...
Miyagi: Not everything is as looks, you know.
Daniel: Bullshit.
Miyagi: Danielsan.
[Daniel stalks off]
Miyagi: Danielsan! Come here.
[Daniel grits his teeth, but obeys, returning to stand before the old man, sullen and distant]
Miyagi: Show me wax on, wax off.
[Daniel doesn't move]
Miyagi: Show.
Daniel: I can't lift my arms.
[Miyagi feels around Daniel's shoulder for a moment. He rubs his hands together back and forth, very fast, then applies them to Daniel's shoulder, one on either side, pressing hard]
Daniel: Ow.
Miyagi: Now show.
[Daniel does as he is told. To his surprise, the pain is gone. Miyagi fixes the angle of his elbow, tucking it in]
Daniel: How'd you do that?
Miyagi: Show. Left right. Left right. Left right.
[Daniel catches the rhythm, making perfect half circles. Without warning Miyagi throws a chest punch. Before Daniel realizes it, his half circle intercepts the punch and deflects it effortlessly. His eyes find Miyagi's. His face lights up. Miyagi remains emotionless]
Miyagi: Sand floor.
[Daniel does what he told. Miyagi makes the right corrections so that his hands circle down. The old man shoots a half-speed kick to Daniel's stomach. Daniel deflects it smoothly]
Miyagi: Paint fence.
[Daniel is eager, quick to comply. Miyagi makes a small adjustment, Daniel keeps painting. Miyagi throws a head punch. On the upswing, Daniel's wrist deflects the punch. Miyagi throws a stomach punch. Daniel's downstroke deflects it perfectly]
Miyagi: Side side.
[Daniel needs no promting. As he draws his hand side to side he deflects two rapid fire punches from the stone faced old man]
Miyagi: Look eyes.
[Daniel's eyes lock onto Miyagi's]
Miyagi: Wax on.
[Miyagi fires a chest punch. Daniel deflects it easily]
Miyagi: Wax off.
[Again, the block is there]
Miyagi: Paint up.
[Miyagi fires hard for the head. Daniel's snapping block is there to meet the attack]
Miyagi: Down.
[Daniel's palm heel crashes into Miyagi's fist]
Miyagi: Side.
[He punches. Daniel blocks]
Miyagi: Side.
[Daniel's block snaps into place]
Miyagi: Sand.
[Daniel sweeps two kicks out of the way]
Miyagi: On off.
[The punches come faster. The blocks are right there. Suddenly, at the height of the exercise, Miyagi stops. Daniel, breathing hard, elated, waits for more. Miyagi picks up his fish]
Miyagi: Come tomorrow.
He turns abruptly and enters the house, slamming the door behind him before Daniel can say another word]

The best education are the ones you don't realize are taught. In one of the greatest scenes ever, Daniel quickly realizes what Miyagi was doing all along. I mean, c'mon, who didn't want their own Mr.Miyagi in the 80s? He was up there with Gizmo and Doc Brown (and Phoebe Cates).
