I would IMMEDIATELY bow--as a symbol of RESPECT--to ANY of my 'Sempai' ('ASSISTANT martial arts Instructor'), if he/she were to quote Dwight Schrute of 'The Office':

(SIGH)
"ALWAYS the Padawan, NEVER the Jedi."

(… This is--OF COURSE--a reference to the different levels of "JEDI-training" in the 'Star Wars' film-series.
Jedi = #1; TOP, 'Sensei'  
Padawan = #2, ASSISTANT, 'Sempai')

(… OF COURSE!  Then, I'd LAUGH and retort:
"You mean, 'ALWAYS the bridesmaid, NEVER the bride.'")

(Ha ha HA!)
(… I'm quite … SOPHOMORIC!)
