　　THE PLANE EXPLODES INTO AFTERBURNER – rocketing toward space. Jester is left in direct line with the sun， and his canopy is sprayed with a blinding glare. Going ballistic is dangerous. The plane flies like a bullet， obeying the laws of physics， not the pilot’’s touch on control surfaces. The ballistic call warns other aircraft that he is， for the moment， out of control.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　He’’s blind – you got him!
　　
　　JESTER
　　NO JOY! NO JOY! WHERE ARE YOU？ I’’VE LOST SIGHT.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　He’’s out of energy! You got control？ Unload!
　　
　　The F-14 peels over the egg， in a backward dive. It rockets down the outside， gaining energy. Over the ROAR of jets， the SCREAM of the wind， Goose shouts data， but it is muffled， a distant voice in a typhoon. Through the canopy， we see Jester， and he hangs in the air like a sparrow in the path of a falcon.
　　
　　PILOT’’S POV – HUD
　　
　　In windscreen – a diamond in a box. Maverick lines up the diamond with Jester， and we hear the high pitched tone BEEPING.
　　
　　JESTER
　　WE’’RE BELOW THE HARD DECK. FIGHT’’S OFF.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　He’’s right. We’’re at ten thousand.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　No way. I got you， sucker. You’’re going down.
　　
　　Jester maneuvers， but Maverick keeps him in the gunsight. The BEEPING is louder， faster.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　In the envelope. FOX TWO MISSILE SHOT. YOU’’RE GONE， JESTER， DEAD! GOOSE!
　　（stunned）
　　Goddamn! We beat him!
　　
　　There is an edge of anger in Jester’’s voice.
　　
　　JESTER
　　ROGER FOX TWO. GET YOUR BUTTS ABOVE THE HARD DECK. RETURN TO BASE IMMEDIATELY.
　　
　　They are brought up short for a moment， then the thrill of victory gets the best of them. Goose lets out a war whoop. The F-14 sweeps up， rolls into an Immelman……
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　We did it!
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Look， Ma， top of the world!
　　
　　EXT. MIRAMAR – LANDING PATTERN
　　
　　Maverick’’s Tomcat breaks hard and high， rolls over on its side， wings perpendicular to the ground. Goose sees the world go sideways.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Ahhh…… A little high on the left， don’’t you think？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Right.
　　
　　He aileron rolls another quarter turn. Inverted， they pass right down the runway. Goose looks out and insouciantly watches the world go by at 300 knots， upside down.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Right. Much better…… Ahhh…… what do you call this？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　It’’s a victory roll.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　I wouldn’’t call it victory. It’’s more like…… self immolation.
　　
　　INT. CONTROL TOWER
　　
　　Controllers work. Officers watch the landing activity. One old salt， turns from the coffee machine， a cup of steaming Java microns from his lips. A ROAR. VABOOM! The Tomcat roars over. He yelps as hot coffee flies all over his shirt.
　　
　　EXT. MAVERICK’’S F-14
　　
　　They complete the roll， bank left， zoom right by the tower， level with the observation window.
　　
　　F-14’’S POV
　　
　　Controllers look out at the F-14， mouths drop open.
　　
　　ANGLE GOOSE
　　
　　He waves jauntily.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Hi…… Hi there. How ya doing in there？ Mav…… Ahhh…… you know， at one point I did want a Navy career.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Come on， relax……
　　
　　GOOSE
　　You see all those guys with gold on their shoulders!!？…… Oh， no， I think that was Johnson， Air Boss of the Kitty Hawk!
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Come on， we beat an instructor. How many times in your life do you get to do a victory roll？
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Just once， if they take your plane away.
　　
　　They roll out， break over the runway.
　　
　　EXT. FLIGHTLINE
　　
　　Maverick and Goose walk by parking Tomcats…… Ice is unstrapping， Slider is climbing down. Ice looks at Maverick， says one word.
　　
　　ICEMAN
　　Cowboys!
　　
　　Maverick keeps walking…… Goose hangs back.
　　
　　SLIDER
　　Nice. Always a good idea to show up your instructors.
　　
　　He nods toward Jester， glaring at them from his A4. Goose indicates the backseat of the Tomcat.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Hey， see any controls back there？
　　（thinks about team loyalty， reacts to Jester’’s glare…… ）
　　And anyway…… we beat the son of a bitch!
　　
　　He turns and runs to catch up with Maverick.
