　　We weren’’t below for more than ten seconds. There was no danger. I had the shot. I took it.
　　
　　VIPER
　　The rules of engagement are not flexible. They exist for your safety. You will obey them. Is that clear？
　　
　　Maverick thinks about continuing the discussion， but the thought is momentary. He quickly cuts his losses， gives Viper what he thinks he wants…… He is just on the cusp of too sincere.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Yes sir， perfectly clear. I guess we were …… I was…… just a little over enthusiastic.
　　
　　Viper measures him for a moment， then lets it go.
　　
　　VIPER
　　I guess you were. Dismissed.
　　
　　Maverick and Goose leave the room. Viper looks at Jester， picks up Maverick’’s fitness report. Doesn’’t read it， looks back at Jester.
　　
　　JESTER
　　I don’’t know what to tell you， Skip.
　　
　　VIPER
　　Tell me one thing.
　　
　　Jester waits.
　　
　　VIPER
　　…… If you had to go into combat， would you want him with you？
　　
　　Jester turns， walks slowly around the room. The walls are lined with pictures; planes and pilots…… history. There are MiG killers， attack squadrons， ground personnel…… There’’s one picture of a Phantom in flight with the backseater mooning the camera. Other pictures show carriers， famous flyers， previous CO’’s. Finally Jester replies.
　　
　　JESTER
　　Yep.
　　
　　Viper slaps shut the fitness report.
　　
　　JESTER
　　He’’s seat of the pants…… Completely unpredictable – nothing by the book. All over the sky. But I don’’t know， Skip， he’’s really got something.
　　
　　VIPER
　　Yeah， we get one of these guys every damn class.
　　（laughs）
　　"Maverick!"
　　
　　He throws the report on the desk.
　　
　　JESTER
　　Yup， a wild pony.
　　
　　INT. COCKPIT – NIGHT
　　
　　Wind ROAR， jet WHINE. Hollywood and Wolfman are being thrown about as Hollywood fights the stick.
　　
　　WOLFMAN
　　No. No. Look out， you lost it.
　　
　　They depart flight. Tumble. The horizon swings wildly as they go into flat spin.
　　
　　WOLFMAN
　　We’’re dead!
　　
　　A face appears at 12，000 feet， right in front of their canopy. Goose’’s eyes bug at them.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Man， you guys gooned it. Your laser butts are scattered across KANSAS.
　　
　　HOLLYWOOD
　　（disgusted with himself）
　　Come on. I died enough for one night.
　　
　　EXT. COCKPIT
　　
　　They climb out of the simulator – A cockpit sprung on moveable rams， surrounded by a dome on which video images are projected.
　　
　　As they climb down， Maverick and Goose climb up into the cockpit to take their place.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Have you guys ever considered career counseling？
　　
　　SIMULATOR CONTROL ROOM
　　
　　Filled with computers， tape transports and video screen representations of computer generated combat. Now Maverick flies it as Charlie and other techs watch.
　　
　　COCKPIT
　　
　　Maverick flys the heck out of it. It’’s real. It lurches and bumps， the NOISES and sights look real. He gets on the tail of a MiG. It breaks， he breaks， then what he does is just too fast to follow. It screams around in a turn. Suddenly， there is a WHUMMP…… ALARMS…… the lights come on.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　What happened.
　　
　　TECH （V.O.）
　　（filtered）
　　What did you do in there？
　　
　　GOOSE
　　What did you do？ You broke it!
　　
　　COMPUTER ANALYSIS ROOM
　　
　　Maverick and Goose enter. The techs cluster around the keyboards trying to reprogram， to figure out what went wrong.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　You flew it off the template. Nobody ever did that before.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　That’’s what she said last night.
　　
　　She stares at Goose until he grins and moves off to give the others his valuable opinions on how to reprogram the computers.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　What is it about you？
　　
　　He just shrugs at her and smiles.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　What would you say， too fast…… too quick……
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　And far too aggressive.
　　
　　MAVERICK
