In the 2010 movie the Karate Kid with Jaden. The scene when he talks to the girl's dad while reading the paper, he's talking in Chinese, well I guess Mandarin, can anyone tell me what he said?

Can you point us to a Youtube clip of the segment? Some of us have never seen this movie.

The Chinese:

陈先生,我叫Drey Parker。我的行为对您家是(不?)尊重。您女儿曾经是我的好朋友,她让我明白了,一个真正的朋友能让她的生活变得更好。我愿意接受任何惩罚。如果您能再给我一次机会,我保证成为她真正的朋友。

My translation:

Mr. Chen, my name is Drey Parker. My behavior was (not?) respectful of your family. Your daughter was once my good friend, and she made me understand that a true friend can make her life better. I am willing to accept any punishment. If you can give me another chance, I guarantee you I will become her true friend.

I agree with aristotle1990's translation. And the 不 definitely needs to be inserted, otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, he says it without the 不, just as "我的行为对您家是尊重", but that doesn't make much sense.

I don't understand why they didn't run that line by Jackie Chan. Or any of the hundreds of Chinese extras around the set. It's such an obvious mistake!

Good thing I didn't go see this movie.
