INT. LOCKER ROOM – DAY
Pilots half undressed. Maverick and Goose enter the room, carrying their helmets. The students look up at them, and Goose suddenly flashes a thumb’’s up sign with a grin. The students react with clenched fists, ad libs, high fives, victory punches.
WOLFMAN
You won?!!!
MAVERICK
Didn’’t everybody?
"Oooo" – they all go "ooo" and laugh.
WOLFMAN
No, we…… got our butts kicked.
HOLLYWOOD
Thirty seconds. That’’s all it took to blow us out of the sky.
WOLFMAN
We went like this, he went like that. I say to Hollywood: Where’’d he go? Hollywood says: where’’d who go?
HOLLYWOOD
And he’’s laughing. Right over the radio, He’’s laughing at us.
Attention turns to the doorway as Ice and Slider enter. Ice gives a brief dramatic pause, then flashes thumbs up and smiles. The students celebrate Ice’’s win. Ice handles the attention with the easy composure of one who is used to it. Maverick ignores him and begins to peel out of his G-suit. Ice moves toward his locker.
GOOSE
You won. Congratulations.
HOLLYWOOD
Maverick and Goose won too.
Ice talks into his locker.
ICE
That’’s not what I heard.
GOOSE
We won!
Ice turns back, stares them down, then turns back into his locker, dismissing them.
ICE
Below the hard deck doesn’’t count. You guys are the second team, aren’’t you?
Maverick gets up, moves to him, starts to say something, when Jester, breaks into the room.
JESTER
Maverick, Goose. Viper’’s office. Now!
INT. TOPGUN CORRIDOR OUTSIDE CO’’S OFFICE
SCREAMING AND YELLING. A lot of screaming and yelling, muffled by the door.
INT. ANTEROOM
Enlisted Yeomen and Chiefs go about their clerical duties in acute embarrassment mixed with curiousity. Behind the CO’’s door, someone is screaming his head off.
BOOM! The door bursts open. A big, brawling Officer – Johnson, the Air Boss – blasts out, nearly smashing into a female petty officer. She almost spills her coffee. Johnson looks right and left in fury too strong for words. He looks like he wants to smash something. They move out of his way, but he just blasts through the door and disappears down the hall. The enlisted men turn to Viper’’s office.
THEIR POV
Jester stands inside stonefaced. Maverick and Goose are rigid. Viper…… with excess calm deliberation, softly walks over, grasps the doorknob. He glances in this direction. The glance is totally without expression, and even scarier for that.
ANGLE ENLISTED (MEN)
In a flash, each man finds something totally engrossing in his work, or something terribly important to do elsewhere. Slowly, steadily, Viper swings his door closed.
INT. VIPER’’S OFFICE
He moves over to face Maverick. There is a SILENCE like after a train wreck; nothing but the POPPING of sprung metal and the low GASP of escaping steam. Viper speaks quietly, like a funeral director consoling the living. Makes you want to scream.
VIPER
Well…… That about covers the flyby.
Jester almost breaks into a grin.
VIPER
Now…… in addition…… you broke two major rules of engagement. And…… That’’s …… not good.
Maverick gives no response. Viper continues.
VIPER
Lieutenant Candela lost sight of you, and called "no joy". You failed to respond.
He stops and looks at Maverick…… A beat. Maverick finally nods
VIPER
Why?
Maverick is exhausted. It’’s been a long, rough day. His voice is a horse whisper.
MAVERICK
I had him in view. I was peeling over the egg, into a dive. He saw me when I moved in for the kill. There wasn’’t any danger……
VIPER
(to Goose)
Is that how you remember it?
GOOSE
Yes, sir. By the time we could respond, we were diving right into his view.
Viper is not satisfied with the answer, but he moves on.
VIPER
The hard deck for this hop was ten thousand feet. Jester, at what point did you call off the fight?
JESTER
Just below ten thousand.
VIPER
But you continued to fight.
Another pause, another grudging nod.
VIPER
Why?
MAVERICK
