SUNDOWN
Yeow!
GOOSE
Mayday! Down in flames!
He throws a beer in Sundown’’s face, quenching the fire. Sundown blinks through the beer.
SUNDOWN
Thanks, I needed that.
HOLLYWOOD
You guys are not only crazy, you’’re dangerous!
Ice comes up from the end of the bar. He motions the Barmaid for another; it comes. Goose lights it. He gulps it down, cool as hell.
ICE
(disdainfully)
Frat boys.
He walks away. Slider goes after him.
MAVERICK
Who is that guy?
HOLLYWOOD
That’’s Kazanski.
GOOSE
No shit! That why they call him Ice?
HOLLYWOOD
Nope. It’’s the way he flies – Ice cold. No mistakes. Wears you down. After enough time, you just get bored and frustrated, you do something stupid, and he’’s got you.
Maverick moves in Ice’’s direction. He passes Wolfman dancing with a girl with bright purple fingernails.
ANGLE – DANCEFLOOR
GIRL
Why do you all have such funny names?
WOLFMAN
You gotta have a call sign that’’s just your own…… never changes…… you have to recognize it immediately. Then, if someone shouts "Wolf, break left!"…… you react right away.
GIRL
Why do they call you Wolf?
WOLFMAN
(smiles)
Oh, I don’’t know.
Goose comes up with his arm around a girl.
GOOSE
Hey Mav, this is Sally. She doesn’’t believe a word I say. Tell her I’’m married, will you?
MAVERICK
Yeah, he’’s married – but then again, he’’s not dead.
Sally laughs and tries to pull Goose back toward the dance floor. Something in Maverick’’s eyes makes him hang back with his partner.
ANGLE – THE DANCE FLOOR – DANCERS
GIRL
Could I get a call sign?
WOLFMAN
Well, I don’’t know. That depends.
GIRL
On what?
WOLFMAN
Well, it doesn’’t just happen, you gotta do something famous.
GIRL
Like what?
WOLFMAN
Oh…… I’’ll think of something.
Maverick smiles at this, but seems on edge…… He watches a few pretty girls enter and eye the pilots in their flight suits, then turns and walks up to Ice, who sits, drinking with Slider. Maverick walks over to him. Ice notices Slider’’s attention going to Maverick. He turns and grins at him.
ICEMAN
Figured it out yet?
MAVERICK
Figured out what?
ICEMAN
Who is the best.
MAVERICK
Nope.
ICEMAN
Need a hint?
MAVERICK
I think I can work it out on my own.
ICEMAN
You like to work alone. I’’ve heard that about you.
MAVERICK
I’’ve heard of you, too. You were in 124 with Bargamian.
ICEMAN
And you were with Cougar. He was my roommate in flight school.
MAVERICK
He’’s a good man.
ICEMAN
The best.
SLIDER
You must have soloed under a lucky star. First the MiG, then you slide into Cougar’’s place.
