• Iceman : You! You are still dangerous. But you can be my wingman any time.

  Maverick : Bullshit! You can be mine.

• 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 : 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.

• Iceman : You two really are cowboys.

  Maverick : What's your problem, Kazansky?

  Iceman : You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.

  Maverick : That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.

• Iceman : Mitchell, I'm sorry about Goose. Everybody liked him. I'm sorry.

• Iceman : Maverick, it's not your flying, it's your attitude. The enemy's dangerous, but right now you're worse. Dangerous and foolish. You may not like who's flying with you, but whose side are you on?

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

  Iceman : You up for this one, Maverick?

  Maverick : Just a walk in the park, Kazansky.

• [they are looking at the Topgun trophy for the first time] 

  Iceman : The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies' room.

  Goose : [Howling in mock laughter]  Oh Jesus, oh YOU KILL ME! You really do.

  Goose : [pointing to the empty slot on the trophy]  No no no, there's two o's in "Goose", boys.

• Iceman : [as Maverick's F-14 suffers a flameout caused by Iceman's jet wash]  Mayday, mayday, Mav's in trouble. He's in a flat spin, he's heading out to sea.

• Iceman : [shoots down a MiG]  Bingo.

  Slider : Wash that sucker, yeah!

• Iceman : Mav, move! There's a MiG on your tail! There's a MiG on your tail!

• Iceman : Come on! Mother Goose, you pussy!
