Charlie : Excuse me, Lieutenant. Is there something wrong?
Maverick : Yes ma'am, the data on the MiG is inaccurate.
Charlie : How's that, Lieutenant?
Maverick : Well, I just happened to see a MiG-28...
Goose : We!
Maverick : ...do a... Sorry, Goose. *We* happened to see a MiG-28 do a 4G negative dive.
Charlie : Where did you see this?
Maverick : Uh, that's classified.
Charlie : It's what?
Maverick : It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
Charlie : Lieutenant, I have Top Secret clearance. The Pentagon sees to it that I know more than you.
Maverick : Well, ma'am, it doesn't seem so in this case, now, does it?
Charlie : So, Lieutenant, where exactly were you?
Maverick : Well, we...
Goose : Thank you.
Maverick : Started up on a 6, when he pulled from the clouds, and then I moved in above him.
Charlie : Well, if you were directly above him, how could you see him?
Maverick : Because I was inverted.
Iceman : [coughs] Bullshit.
Goose : No, he was, man. It was a really great move. He was inverted.
Charlie : You were in a 4G inverted dive with a MiG-28?
Maverick : Yes, ma'am.
Charlie : At what range?
Maverick : About two meters?
Goose : Well, it's 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.
Maverick : Was a nice picture.
Goose : Thanks.
Charlie : Eh, Lieutenant, what were you doing there?
Goose : Communicating.
Maverick : Communicating. Keeping up foreign relations. I was, you know, giving him the bird.
Goose : You know, the finger.
[holds up his middle finger to demonstrate]
Charlie : Yes, I know the finger, Goose.
Goose : I'm sorry. I hate it when it does that. I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Charlie : So you're the one?
Maverick : Yes, ma'am.

Goose : The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid.

Goose : Hey, hey, Slider. Thought you wanted to be a pilot, man what happened?
Slider : Goose, you're such a dickhead. Whose butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose : The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider : Yeah, well so is my Johnson.
Goose : So you're flying with Iceman, huh?
Slider : It's Mr. Iceman to you.
Iceman : Hey, Mother Goose, how's it going?
Goose : Good, Tom. This is Pete Mitchell. Tom Kazansky.
Iceman : Congratulations on Top Gun.
Maverick : Thank you.
Iceman : Sorry to hear about Cougar. He and I were like brothers in flight school. He was a good man.
Maverick : Still is a good man.
Iceman : Yeah, that's what I meant.
Iceman : You need any help?
Maverick : With what?
Iceman : You figured it out yet?
Maverick : What's that?
Iceman : Who's the best pilot.
Maverick : You know, I think I can figure that one out on my own.
Iceman : I heard that about you. You like to work alone.
Slider : Mav, you must've sold under a lucky star, huh? I mean, first the MiG, and then you guys slide into Cougar's spot.
Goose : We didn't slide into Cougar's spot. It was ours, okay?
Slider : Yeah, well, some pilots wait their whole career just to see a MiG up close. Guess you guys are lucky and famous, huh?
Iceman : No, you mean notorious. See you later.
Maverick : You can count on it.

Goose : No, no, no, no. There's two "Os" in Goose, boys.

Stinger : Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing. What you should have done was land your plane! You don't own that plane, the tax payers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. You've been busted, you lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral's daughter!
Goose : Penny Benjamin?
[Maverick shrugs]
Stinger : And you asshole, you're lucky to be here!
Goose : Thank you, sir.
Stinger : And let's not bullshit Maverick. Your family name ain't the best in the Navy. You need to be doing it better, and cleaner than the other guy. Now what is it with you?
Maverick : Just want to serve my country, be the best pilot in the Navy, sir.
Stinger : Don't screw around with me Maverick. You're a hell of an instinctive pilot. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your butt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to Miramar. I gotta do something here, I still can't believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You two characters are going to Top Gun.

Goose : Yeeha, Jester's dead!
Wolfman : Won this bullshit?
Goose : Didn't everybody?
Hollywood : Hell no, man. We got our butts kicked.
Wolfman : Thirty seconds. We went like this, he went like that. I said to Hollywood, "Where'd he go?" Hollywood says, "Where'd who go?"
Hollywood : Yeah, and he's laughing at us, right on the radio, he's laughing at us.
Slider : That was me laughing, dickhead. We won.

Goose : Come on, Mav, do some of that pilot shit!
-
Goose : [after Goose and Maverick get chewed out by Viper] Thanks, Mav, that was really great. Oh, shit! Maybe I should become a truck driver. Mav, do you remember the number of that truck driving school that was on TV the other night, Truck America or something like that?
-
Goose : Great balls of fire!
-
Maverick : Excuse me, Miss.
Goose : Hey. Hey-hey. Don't worry. I'll take care of this.
Maverick : [singing] You never close your eyes any more, When I kiss your lips
Goose : There's no tenderness Iike before, In your fingertips
Maverick : You're trying hard not to show it
Maverick , Goose : Baby, But, baby, Believe me I know it, You've lost that loving feeling, Whoa, that loving feeling...
-
Goose : Holy shit, we're head-to-head. I can't believe we're doing this.
-
Carole : Maverick would you go fetch him!
Maverick : I'm gonna go embarrass myself with Goose for awhile.
Maverick , Goose : [singing] You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain, Thinking 'bout your love drives a man insane, You broke my will, Oh, what a thrill, Goodness gracious, Great balls of fire!
