　　Hello， I think I have some new data for you…… Now a MiG 21 has a problem with the inverted flight tanks. It won’’t do a Negative G push over. Even below one G， they risk a flame out. Operationally， they will do a zero to one G only.
　　
　　A snicker from the audience. She hesitates momentarily， goes on.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　The latest intelligence shows that the most they will do in operation is one…… is there something wrong， Lieutenant.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I don’’t think you’’re altogether right…… about the MiG， that is.
　　
　　She stops – some of the pilots look at him. Viper glares.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　I beg your pardon.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　No， I beg yours. But I don’’t think you’’re right on that.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Why not？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I saw one.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　You saw a MiG 21？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I saw a MiG do a 4 G negative dive.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　（she doesn’’t believe him）
　　Where did you see that？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　It’’s classified.
　　
　　Nervous buzz in the room. Viper goes rigid. Charlie can’’t believe it.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　It’’s what？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　It’’s classified. Like Hollywood says， I could tell you， but then I’’d have to kill you.
　　
　　Pork stifles a laugh， the others chuckle. Viper is embarrassed.
　　
　　VIPER
　　Maverick!!!
　　
　　She stops Viper with a glance.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　It’’s all right.
　　
　　She can handle it. She is very cool， not overbearing. She says it calmly. She doesn’’t want to embarrass him any more than he is， but she has to get the facts straight.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Lieutenant， I have a top secret clearance. The Pentagon sees to it that I know more than you.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Not in this case.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　（flatly）
　　You saw a MiG push negative 4G？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Yes， ma’’am.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Where were you？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　On his six.
　　
　　Little stifled laughs.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　He was in a 4G Negative dive and you were on his six？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Yes， ma’’am， At first. Then I was directly above him.
　　
　　She stares at him for a moment， then she has him. She goes for the kill.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　If you were directly above him， how did you see him？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I was inverted.
　　
　　A real buzz in the room. Ice laughs audibly.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　You were in a 4G inverted dive with a MiG 21？
　　（she can’’t believe it）
　　At what range？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Two.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Two miles.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Two meters.
　　
　　Chuckles， barely suppressed. Goose pipes up to deflect attention.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　One and a half， actually. I got a polaroid.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　（flatly）
　　Lieutenant……
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Ma’’am？
