Top Gun

Iceman:
You two really are cowboys.

Maverick:
What's your problem, Kazanski?

Iceman:
You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.

Maverick:
That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.

Charlie:
Excuse me, Lieutenant. Is there something wrong?

Maverick:
Yes ma'am, the data on the MiG is inaccurate.

Charlie:
How's that, Lieutenant?

Maverick:
Well, I just happened to see a MiG 28 do a...

Goose:
We!

Maverick:
Uh, sorry Goose. WE happened to see a MiG 28 do a 4g negative dive.

Charlie:
Where did you see this?

Maverick:
Uh, that's classified.

Charlie:
It's what?

Maverick:
It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Maverick:
Requesting permission for flyby.

Air Boss Johnson:
That's a negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.

Viper:
Good morning, gentlemen, the temperature is 110 degrees.

Wolfman:
Holy sh*t, it's Viper!

Goose:
Viper's up here, great... oh sh*t...

Maverick:
Great, he's probably saying, "Holy sh*t, it's Maverick and Goose."

Goose:
Yeah, I'm sure he's saying that.

Viper:
In case some of you are wondering who the best is they are up here on this plaque.

Viper:
Do you think your name will be on that plaque?

Maverick:
Yes sir.

Viper:
That's pretty arrogant considering the company here, don't you think?

Maverick:
Yes sir.

Viper:
I like that in a pilot.

Viper:
I flew with your old man in an A-4 at Oriskany. You're a lot like he was. Only better and worse. He was a natural heroic son of a b*tch that one.

Maverick:
So he DID do it right.

Viper:
Yeah, he did all right. Is that why you fly the way you do? Trying to prove something? Yeah your old man did it right. What I'm about to tell you is classified it could end my career. We were in the worst dogfight I could've dreamed of. There were bogeys like fireflies all over the sky. His F-4 was hit he could've made it back, stayed in it killed three of them before he bought it.

Maverick:
How come I never heard that before?

Viper:
Well that's not something the Navy tells families especially when the fight happened over the wrong line on some map.

Maverick:
So you were there?

Viper:
I was there. What's on your mind?

Maverick:
My options, Sir.

Viper:
Simple. First you've acquired enough points to show up and graduate with your Top Gun class or you can quit. There'll be no disgrace. That spin was hell it would've shook me up.

Maverick:
So you're saying I should quit?

Viper:
I didn't say that. The simple fact is you feel responsible for Goose and you have a confidence problem. Now I'm not gonna sit here and blow sunshine up your ass Lieutenant. A good pilot always evaluates what's happened so he can apply what he's learned. Up there we gotta push it. That's our job. It's your option Lieutenant. All yours.

Maverick:
Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, Sir, but thanks for your help.

Viper:
No Problem. Good luck.

Maverick:
That son of a b*tch cut me off!

Stinger:
Maverick, you just did and incredibly brave thing. What you should have done was land your plane! you don't own that plane, the tax payers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. You've been busted, you've lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral's daughter!

Goose:
Penny Benjamin?

Stinger:
And you a**hole, you're lucky to be here!

Goose:
Thank you, sir.

Stinger:
And let's not bullshit Maverick. Your family name ain't the best in the Navy. You need to be doing it better, and cleaner than the other guys. Now what is it with you?

Maverick:
Just want to serve my country to be the best pilot in the Navy, sir.

Stinger:
Don't screw around with me Maverick. You're a hell of an instinctive pilot. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your butt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to Miramar. I gotta do something here, I still can believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You two characters are going to Top Gun.

Wolfman:
This gives me a hard on.

Chipper:
Don't tease me.

Viper:
Let me ask you something, if you had to go into battle, would you want him on your side?

Jester:
I don't know, I just don't know

Carole:
Hey Goose you big stud!

Goose:
That's me, honey.

Carole:
Take me to bed or lose me forever.

Goose:
Show me the way home, honey.

Slider:
Goose who's butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?

Goose:
The list is long, but distinguished.

Slider:
Yeah, well so is my Johnson.

Goose:
The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

Iceman:
The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room.

Maverick:
I think I'll go embarrass myself with Goose

Maverick:
This is what I call a target rich environment.

Goose:
You live your life between your legs Mav.

Maverick:
Goose, even you could get laid in a place like this.

Goose:
Hell, I'd be happy to just find a girl that would talk dirty to me.

Maverick:
I feel the need...

Maverick:

Maverick:
You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead.

Stinger:
And if you screw up just this much, you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog sh*t out of Hong Kong!

Maverick:
Yes sir!

Iceman:
You can be my wingman any time.

Maverick:
Bullshit! You can be mine.

Stinger:
They gave you your choice of duty son, anything, anywhere. Do you believe that sh*t? Where do you think you wanna go?

Maverick:
I thought of being an instructor, sir.

Stinger:
Top Gun?

Maverick:
Yes, sir.

Stinger:
God help us.

Viper:
Now I'm not gonna sit here and blow sunshine up your ass, Lieutenant.

Charlie:
What do you wanna do? Just drop down on the tile and go for it?

Maverick:
No, actually I had this counter in mind.

Charlie:
Great, that would be very, very comfortable, yeah.

Maverick:
It could be.

Goose:
No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.

Maverick:
Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz a tower.

Viper:
Top Gun rules of engagement are written for your safety and for that of your team. They are not flexible, nor am I. Is that clear?

Goose:
Come on, Mav, do some of that pilot sh*t!

Maverick:
Too close for missles, I'm switching to guns.

Merlin:
What are you doing? You're slowing down, you're slowing down!

Maverick:
I'm bringing him in closer, Merlin.

Merlin:
You're gonna do WHAT?

Goose:
Is this your idea of fun, Mav?

Charlie:
I'll have what he's having. Hemlock is it?

Maverick:
Ice water.

Maverick:
Any of you boys seen an aircraft-carrier around here?

Slider:
Crashed and burned! Huh, Mav?

Maverick:
Hey, Slider.

Maverick:
You stink!

Charlie:
Listen, can I ask you a personal question?

Maverick:
That depends.

Charlie:
Are you a good pilot?

Maverick:
I can hold my own.

Charlie:
Great, then I won't have to worry about you making your living as a singer.

Maverick:
I'm going to need a beer to put these flames out. Yo! Great Mav, real slick.

Maverick:
Jesus Christ, and you think I'm reckless! When I fly, I'll have you know that my crew and my plane come first.

Maverick:
Jesus Christ, and you think I'm reckless? When I fly, I have you know that my crew and my plane come first.

Charlie:
Well, I am going to finish my sentence, Lieutenant. My review of your flight performance was right on.

Maverick:
Is that right?

Charlie:
That is right, but I held something back. I see some real genius in your flying, Maverick, but I can't say that in there. I was afraid that everyone in the tax trailer would see right through me, and I just don't want anyone to know that I've fallen for you.

Carole:
God, he loved flying with you Maverick. But he would've done it anyway... without you. He'd have hated it, but he would've done it.

Viper:
How ya doin?

Maverick:
I'm all right.

Viper:
Goose is dead.

Maverick:
I know.

Viper:
You fly jets long enough, something like this happens.

Maverick:
He was my R.I.O., my responsibility.

Viper:
My squadron we lost 8 of 18 aircraft. 10 men. First one dies you die too, but there will be others. You can count on that. You gotta let him go. You gotta let him go.

Cougar:
Got dammit mustang! This is Ghost Rider 117, this bogey is all over me. He's got missile lock on me. Do I have permission to fire?

Stinger:
Do not fire until fired upon...

Goose:
It's the bottom of the 9th, the score is tied its time for the big one.

Iceman:
You think you can handle that Maverick?

Maverick:
It's just a walk in the park Kazanski.

Maverick:
I can see it's dangerous for you, but if the government trusts me, maybe you could.

Charlie:
It takes a lot more than just fancy flying.

Goose:
(checking out the plaque with names of the best of the best) No, boys. There's two "O"s in Goose.

Goose:
Yeeha, Jester's dead!

Wolfman:
Won this bullshit?

Goose:
Didn't everybody?

Hollywood:
Hell no, man. We got our butts kicked.

Wolfman:
Thirty seconds. We went like this, he went like that. I said to Hollywood, "Where'd he go?" Hollywood says, "Where'd who go?"

Hollywood:
Yeah, and he's laughing at us, right on the radio, he's laughing at us.

Slider:
That was me laughing, d*ckhead.

Merlin:
Mustang, this is Voodoo 3. Remaining MiGs are bugging out.

Stinger:
How's it feel to be on the front page of every newspaper in the english-speaking world, even though the other side denies the incident? Congratulations.

Slider:
Splash that sucker, yeah!

Stinger:
How long will it take?

Stinger:
Bull sh*t ten minutes! This thing will be over in two minutes! Get on it!

[Viper talks to the Top Gun cadets]

Goose:
[as Maverick is looking around the room] What are you doing?

Maverick:
Just wondering who's the best.

Viper:
In case some of you are wondering who the best is, they're up here on this plaque on the wall. The best driver and his RIO from each class has his name on it, and they have the option to come back here to be Top Gun instructors. [turns to Maverick] You think your name's gonna be on that plaque?

Maverick:
Yes, sir.

Viper:
That's pretty arrogant, considering the company you're in.

Maverick:
[pauses] Yes, sir.

Viper:
[smiles] I like that in a pilot. Just remember, when it's over out there, we're all on the same team.

[at the preflight briefing, Maverick, Goose, and Charlie talk about how Maverick buzzed a MiG-28 and what Goose did to the pilot.]

Goose:
[Extending his middle finger] You know, the finger!

Charlie:
Yes, I know the finger, Goose.

Goose:
Sorry. I hate it when it does that.

Charlie:
[to Maverick] So you're the one.

Maverick:
Yes, ma'am.

[after the first hop, Maverick and Goose celebrate their victory over Jester, but Iceman and Slider tell everybody that they made the kill below the hard deck, which was not allowed.]

Maverick:
Hard deck my ass. We nailed that son of a b*tch. [gives Goose a high five]

Iceman:
Wow, you guys really are cowboys.

Maverick:
[Faces Iceman] What's your problem, Kazanski?

Iceman:
[Slams helmet locker's door and faces Maverick] You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.

Maverick:
That's right! Ice…man. I am dangerous. [Iceman makes biting motion]

Jester:
Maverick. [Maverick and Goose look at him] You and Goose get your asses outta that flight gear and up to Viper's office now. [leaves locker room]

Slider:
Remember, boys, no points for second place.

Goose:
You're a lot brighter than you look—

Slider:
Oh, shut up.

Maverick:
I feel the need...

Maverick and Goose:
...the need for speed!

[Maverick and Goose high five]

Maverick:
[as Charlie screeches to a halt after chasing Maverick on his motorcycle] JESUS CHRIST, AND YOU THINK I'M RECKLESS? WHEN I FLY, I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT MY CREW AND MY PLANE COME FIRST!

Charlie:
Well, I am going to [bangs the car's door] FINISH MY SENTENCE, LIEUTENANT! My review of your flight performance was RIGHT ON!

Maverick:
Is that right?

Charlie:
That is right, but I held something back. I see some real genius in your flying, Maverick, but I can't say that in there. I was afraid that everyone in the TAC's trailer would see right through me, and I just don't want anyone to know that I've fallen for you.

[At the carrier, in the midst of the MiG battle, Stinger asks the status of the reinforcement planes]

Stinger:
What about Willard and Simkins?

Officer:
Both catapults are broken sir, we cannot launch any aircraft yet.

Stinger:
How long?

Officer:
It'll take ten minutes.

Stinger:
Bullshit ten minutes! This thing will be over in two minutes, get on it!

[The Enterprise's ground crew cheer on Maverick and Merlin when Iceman meets them]

Iceman:
You! You are still dangerous. [smiles] You can be my wingman any time.

Maverick:
Bullshit! You can be mine.

[Charlie has given Maverick a sheet with a date and adress while pretending to reject him]

Slider:
Crashed and burned! Huh, Mav?

Maverick:
Hey, Slider.

[sniffs]

Maverick:
You stink!

I was inverted.
