Top Gun: Maverick2022

Vice Admiral Beau 'Cyclone' Simpson:
I'm Vice Admiral Simpson, the Air Boss. I believe you know Rear Admiral Bates.

Maverick:
Warlock, sir.

Vice Admiral Beau 'Cyclone' Simpson:
Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. Your reputation precedes you.

Maverick:
Thank you, sir.

VADM Beau 'Cyclone' Simpson:
It wasn't a compliment.

Maverick:
I have to admit I wasn't expecting an invitation back.

RADM Solomon 'Warlock' Bates:
They're called *orders*, Maverick. You two have something in common. Cyclone was first in his class back in '88.

Meverick:
Actually, sir, I finished second. Just wanted to manage expectations.

VADM Simpson:
You were a Top Gun instructor before.

Maverick:
That was over thirty years ago, sir; I lasted two months.

VADM Simpson:
Well, let me be perfectly blunt: you were not my first choice. You weren't even on a list. You are here at the request of one man: Admiral Kazansky. Now, Iceman happens to be a man I deeply admire. And he feels you still have something left to offer the Navy. What that is I can't imagine. But let me be clear: this will be your last post, Captain. Either you fly for Top Gun, or you don't fly for the Navy ever again.
