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--
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.
