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.

[to Maverick]

When I first met you, you were larger than life. Look at you. You're not going to be happy unless you're going Mach-2 with your hair on fire and you know it.

That was some of the best flying I've seen to date - right up to the part where you got killed. You never, never leave your wingman.

[to Maverick after the last dogfight]

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.

Carole

Hey Goose you big stud!

That's me, honey.

Carole

Take me to bed or lose me forever.

Show me the way home, honey.

Excuse me, Lieutenant. Is there something wrong?

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

How's that, Lieutenant?

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

We!

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

Where did you see this?

Uh, that's classified.

It's what?

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

So, lieutenant, where exactly were you?

Well, WE...

Thank you.

Started up on his six, when he pulled in through the clouds, and then I moved in above him.

Well, if you were directly above him, how could you see him?

Because I was inverted.

[coughs whilst saying]

Bullshit.

No, he was, man, it was a really great move.

You were in a 4G inverted dive with a Mig 28?

Yes, ma'am.

At what range?

Um, about two meters.

It was actually about one and a half I think. It was one and a half. I've got a great Polaroid of it, and he's right there, must be one and a half.

It was a nice picture.

Thanks.

Eh, lieutenant, what were you doing there?

Communicating.

Communicating. Keeping up foreign relations. You know, giving him the bird?

[Extending his middle finger]

You know, the finger!

Yes, I know the finger, Goose.

Sorry. I hate when it does that.

[to Maverick]

So you're the one.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, Pete Mitchell. I heard the best of the best were going to be back here, so uh...

This could be complicated. You know on the first one I crashed and burned.

And the second.

I don't know, but uh, it's looking good so far.

Listen, can I ask you a personal question?

That depends.

Are you a good pilot?

I can hold my own.

Great, then I won't have to worry about you making your living as a singer. [walks away]

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

[In the ladies' room]

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

No, actually I had this counter in mind.

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

It could be.

Cougar

God 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?

Do not fire until fired upon!

Hey, Slider! I thought you wanted to be a pilot, man, what happened?

Goose, you're such a dickhead. Whose butt did you kiss to get in here, huh?

The list is long, but distinguished.

Yeah, well so's my Johnson.

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

You think you can handle that Maverick?

It's just a walk in the park Kazanski.
