Charlie: So, Lieutenant, where exactly were you?
Maverick: Well, WE —
Goose: Thank you.
Maverick: — started up on his six, when he pulled through 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: (cough) B———t.
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, he’s right there. Must be one and a half.
Maverick: It was a nice picture….
Goose: Thanks, man. I like my pictures….

The birthday girl’s wish? To have these again next year when she turns 5!
