There's more than one way to fly this mission.

You really don't get it. On this mission, a man flies like Maverick here, or a man does not come back. [to Phoenix] No offense, Lieutenant.

But somehow, you always manage.

Hey, I don't mean to criticize, you're conservative, that's all.

Maverick

Lieutenant...

We're going into combat, son, on a level no living pilot's ever seen. [referring to Maverick] Not even him. That's no time to be thinking about the past.

Rooster

Maverick

Rooster...

Maverick

Maverick

That's enough!

Rooster

Hey, I'm cool, I'm cool. Hey.

Maverick

That's enough!

He's not cut out for this mission.

Maverick

That's enough.

You know it. You know I'm right.

Maverick

You're all dismissed.
