　　MAVERICK
　　Anything.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　No fooling on base， no signs， no comments， no talk. By anyone.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Why？
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　I’’m a professional. You guys are in my line of work.
　　
　　A long beat. He looks at her – makes the pact: like a sailor.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Acknowledged.
　　
　　She looks at his eyes for any sign of a put-on， insincerity. Finally he smiles at her but she can read it. It’’s time. She moves in and covers his grin with a gentle kiss.
　　
　　DISSOLVE
　　
　　To them sitting within striking distance at a table. The dog sleeps beneath. Their eyes are now locked. The electricity almost arcs between them.
　　
　　CLOSEUP – Scrub pine table. Their fingertips touch.
　　
　　TIGHT SHOT
　　
　　Waist to head. Holding， close together， swaying in time with the music. Their lips gently brush.
　　
　　EXT. DAY – DESERT – TACTS RANGE
　　
　　An F-14 swoops over the desert， ROARS over an antenna complex.
　　
　　The JET. In it’’s missile rack， it carries a TACTS transponder. The TACTS Range is an area of the desert completely enveloped by computerized radar. The computers calculate a number of aircraft’’s positions and velocities by means of transponders in the ships and ground stations that talk to each other thousands of times a second. Using this system， it is possible to track aerial combat instantaneously and give pilots directions and also to play back the combats for analysis.
　　
　　INT. TACTS RANGE TRAILER – DAY
　　
　　The double viewing screens are five feet high; high technology， state of the art. On the screens are computer animated figures showing jets from various angles. Flight data is displayed. The operators punch buttons to show various points-of-view of the battle: a pilot’’s POV; God’’s POV from overhead， a long range POV， showing topography of the landscape and height of mountains.
　　
　　Students and instructors sit on chairs in the peanut gallery， facing Viper at the front of the room. Charlie is in the back.
　　
　　VIPER
　　The bandit has good position right here. All right， freeze here. The moment of choice – Maverick is defensive. He has a chance to bug out right here…… .Better to retire and save your plane than force a bad position. Stay in the diamond another three seconds， the bandit will blow you out of the sky…… make a hard right， select zone 5……
　　（turns to Maverick to drive point home）
　　…… you can extend and escape. You make a bad choice. Roll forward.
　　
　　The computerized rendering resumes on the screen.
　　
　　VIPER （CONT’’D）
　　You perform a split S. That’’s the last thing you should do. The bandit is right on your tail – Freeze there…… the bandit has you in his gunsight. What were you thinking here， Maverick？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I wasn’’t thinking. I just did it.
　　
　　VIPER
　　Big gamble with a thirty million dollar plane!
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　（smiling）
　　No guts， no glory.
　　
　　It’’s a joke. Viper doesn’’t like that answer at all， but some of the students laugh and mockingly whistle at the cockiness of it. They give Maverick the high sign. Slider leans forward to him.
　　
　　SLIDER
　　Your guts. His glory.
　　
　　Maverick slumps down in his chair under Viper’’s glare. The computer rendering rolls forward again. He glances back at Charlie. She smiles sympathetically at him.
　　
　　VIPER
　　Unfortunately， the gamble worked， or you might have learned something. The bandit never gets a clean shot…… Maverick makes an aggressive vertical move here， comes over the top and defeats the bandit with a missile shot. The encounter was a victory， but we’’ve shown it as an example of what not to do. Ice is next.
　　
　　Another computerized rendering comes up on the screen. Hollywood leans close to Maverick and speaks quietly.
　　
　　HOLLYWOOD
　　Gutsiest move I ever saw.
　　
　　Maverick gives him a small nod of appreciation.
　　
　　VIPER
　　And the dumbest…… Okay， look at this. It’’s textbook. Ice takes control of the battle immediately. He never gives the bandit a chance to take the offensive. An early turn here – excellent. He goes for the jugular， and it’’s over just that quick. Let’’s run that again， it’’s exactly how it should be done.
　　
　　EXT. MIRAMAR RUNWAY – DAY
　　
　　In full flight gear， carrying their helmets and trying to stuff food down their gullets， the students rush/stumble toward the flight line. Hollywood takes a bit of a sandwich and makes a face.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　What the hell is this？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Don’’t chew it， you won’’t have it that long. Easier to clean the cockpit if it comes up in big chunks.
　　
　　Jester yells from the distance.
　　
　　JESTER
　　On the run. Let’’s go. Move it!
　　
　　GOOSE
　　A fighter pilot’’s lunch…… a hot dog and a puke.
　　
　　They scurry ahead， overtaking the others.
　　
　　HOLLYWOOD
　　I was a victim of circumstance.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　They should have warned you about that one.
　　
　　HOLLYWOOD
　　She’’s kinky for flight suits – said that she’’d never seen so many zippers – played with them all night. The noise alone kept me up.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　What’’d you do？
　　
　　HOLLYWOOD
　　Pulled left， rolled out， underneath.
　　
　　WOLFMAN
　　It’’s kind of ironic. All you guys have women troubles and I don’’t.
