Dialogue

Colt: I'm not going to Japan. We're gonna play baseball.
Rocky: What are you talking about?
Tum-Tum: I wanna go!
Colt: I wanna play!
Sam Sr.: Stop it! "I want, I want". What is the matter with you guys? I just wanna tell you I was very embarrassed and ashamed of your behavior out there, and you should be too
Colt: How can I pay attention with Grandpa pestering me from the stands like that?
Jessica: Jeffrey!
Colt: That's what's embarrassing.
Jessica: That's enough.
Sam Sr.: And Samuel, just what were you looking at when you were supposed to be pitching?
Tum-Tum: [singsong voice] Lisa DiMarino, Lisa DiMarino...
Sam Sr.: And you, Jeffrey, fighting like that. How many times have I told you about your temper? You're just gonna have to learn how to control it?
Jessica: Well, I wonder where he gets it from?
Sam Sr.: You see what all this ninja stuff does? All they wanna do is fight.
Tum-Tum: Does this mean no Japan?
Sam Sr.: It may mean "no" to a lot of things, Michael, until all of you guys decide to grow up.

Glam: Ho! Hey, Uncle! Hey, how's the weather in Japan?
Koga: My idiot nephew, forget the weather. Did you get the pictures?
Glam: Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. [sees a picture of the dagger along with the picture of Mori] Cool knife.
Koga: I will pay you well to perform this task for me.
Glam: We'll take it!

Glam: Greetings, Uncle!
Koga: I was expecting you earlier. [Vinnie and Slam try to touch him] Don't touch me!
Glam: Get out of the way! Uncle, we did your bidding, and we got the goods right here.
Koga: Quiet, fool!
Glam: Quiet, fool!
Slam: Quiet, fool!
Koga: Give it to me!
Glam: Give it to him!
Slam: Give it to him!
Vinnie: [places a duffel bag on Koga's desk] Hey, nice vase. Behold, the dagger of doom! [the duffel bag Vinnie opened turned out to be Tum-Tum's bag with a mouse trap, meaning the dagger was not in it, and the mouse trap pinches Vinnie's fingers] SLAM!! SLAM!!
Glam: I can explain this.
Koga: [enraged] YOU HAVE FAILED!! Ishikawa! Show them how we deal with fools! [Ishikawa carries Glam to the treadmill]
Slam: Hey, that's our lead singer, you!
Glam: We can do instrumentals. We don't need lyrics! Ishikawa, can we talk about this? [Ishikawa starts the treadmill and puts the speed to the extreme velocity] Uncle!
Koga: Nephew, I am mush dissatisfied, but I am prepared to give you another chance. You say Mori Shintaro is in Japan. Keep an eye on him, listen to every word he says, and bring back that dagger to me!

Tum-Tum: This is great! Rocky, tell Miyo's mother how good this is. [Rocky communicates to Miyo's mother in Japanese, with Tum-Tum interpreting]
Miyo's Mother: Thank you.
Colt: And we know what a picky eater my brother is.
Miyo: Your Japanese is getting good, Rocky. You should learn something to say to Grand Master tomorrow.

Tum-Tum: Well, I tried.
Darren: I said, come here! [Miyo does a flip right behind Darren] Huh? Where'd she go? [turns around and faces Miyo, who lets out a fierce karate yell and beats him up]
