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--

We, we.

Sorry, goose.

We...Happened to see a mig-28 do a four-g negative dive.

Where did you see this?

That's classified.

It's what?

It's classified.

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

Lieutenant, I have top-secret clearance.

The pentagon sees to it that I know more than you.

Well, ma'am, it doesn't seem so in this case, now, does it?

So, lieutenant...

Where exactly were you?

Well, we... Thank you.

...Started up on his 6

When he pulled 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 ): Bullshit.

( group snickers )

Goose: No, he was, man.

It was a really great move. He was inverted.

You were in a four-g...

Inverted dive with a mig-28?

Yes, ma'am.

At what range?

No-- 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.

He's right there. It must be one and a half.

Maverick: It was a nice picture. Lieutenant.

Goose: Thanks, I like my pictures.

What were you doing there?

( clears throat ) communicating.

Communicating.

Keeping up foreign relations.

I was, uh...

...You know, giving him the bird.

You know, the finger.

Yes, I know the finger, goose.

I-I'm sorry, I hate it when it does that. I'm sorry.

( both chuckling )

Excuse me.

So you're the one.

Yes, ma'am.

All right, gentlemen, we have a hop to take.

The hard deck on this hop will be 10,000 feet.

There'll be no engagement below that.
