Sergeant Kesuke Miyagi: Then we fight.
Colonel Dugan: [surprised/obliges] Absolutely. [takes the cap off to reveal tough bald head] I'm gonna put your lights out. [Dugan grabs Miyagi's shirt and prepares to strike him but Miyagi easily rips Dugan's hands off. Dugan is shocked; the two then fight and after a moment it's over]
Sergeant Kesuke Miyagi: [holding Dugan to the ground and preparing to strike him] Now time put your lights out. [Mr. Miyagi instead blows wind into Dugan's face. Dugan is very embarrassed. The students go up to him disappointed]
