Other crewmembers help Cougar out. He seems stunned, but Goose reacts to his fear with frantic one-liners. He grabs a crew member’’s radio, as Silver Suit helps him away and looks to the figures of the Admiral and the Air Boss far up on the bridge…… He waves to them, does his best impression…… Desi Arnaz.
GOOSE
Lucy…… Ricky…… I’’m Home!
BRIDGE FLIGHT DECK
A moment of disbelief…… Then hysterical, tension relieving laughter.
FLIGHT DECK
Goose spots Cougar being helped out. He pulls away, reaches back into the cockpit and grabs Cougar’’s snapshot of wife and kid. They lead Goose away as firemen blast the aircraft with foam.
GOOSE
Is it extra for the hot wax?
BRIDGE – FLIGHT DECK – AIR BOSS
AIR BOSS
Clear the flight deck.
FLIGHT DECK
A TILLIE, a four wheel mobile crane, slams up to the plane and slings its lifting harness. Goose turns to Silver Suit.
GOOSE
Well…… there goes your tip.
INT. MAVERICK’’S PLANE
They have monitored the chatter.
WIZARD
It’’s Goose. He’’s alright. Bring it left…… You’’re settling. IS THE DECK CLEAR?
LSO (V.O.)
(filtered, softly)
ROGER, BALL, LITTLE POWER…… DON’’T CLIMB…… OKAY, HOLD WHAT YOU GOT!
Wizard does a quick sign of the cross, reaches down, grabs his balls…… as……
FLIGHT DECK
The TOMCAT slams onto the deck, clearing the wreckage by inches.
INT. CARRIER HATCHWAY – FLIGHT SURGEON, OTHERS
Watch as they bring a shaken Cougar past. Goose, eyes wild, waves at Maverick and Wizard, rolling up. They flame out – VVOOOMMMMM! They sit there, immobile, waiting for a tow, looking numb. Goose does his "stewardess".
GOOSE
On behalf of your Captain and your crew, I want to thank you for flying VF101. And next time your plans include the middle of the goddamn ocean in the dead of frigging night, I hope you’’ll think of Naval Aviation.
The surgeon looks into Goose’’s eyes.
SURGEON
Stress reaction……
XO
Check his head.
GOOSE
(wobbling off)
Never mind my head, check my shorts!
SICK BAY – LATER
Cougar lies alone in the dimness, staring at the overhead.
03 LEVEL – BELOW DECKS – OFFICER’’S COUNTRY
The usual CLANGS, WHISTLES, ENGINES of Navy life sound FORLORN ECHOING through the dim, deserted passage. From the distance, a single figure passes in and out of the glow of the overhead lights. Cougar comes closer, hobbling unsteadily.
He reaches a door, pulls himself erect and knocks on the sign:
"Commander Tom Otawoczek"
CO VF 101
STINGER"
STINGER’’S CABIN
The skipper works at his desk, responds without looking up.
STINGER
Come in.
He looks up. Cougar stands in the doorway, a strange, dazed look on his face.
STINGER
Cougar, what is it? You should be in sick bay. What are you doing?
He walks over to the skipper’’s desk. His eyes are glazed, but his jaw is firm.
COUGAR
Thinking of my wife and kid.
A determined movement. Hand to chest.
Something metal hits it, skids across the polished surface and clangs up against the coffee mug: gold wings.
PASSAGEWAY
Cougar comes out of Stinger’’s room, bumps into Goose, and Maverick. He turns the other way.
GOOSE
Cougar!
He stops, turns to them. There is nothing to say. Goose hands him his snapshot. Cougar looks at his wife and kid for a moment, then looks up at them. He turns away.
MAVERICK
Cougar?
STINGER (O.S.)
Maverick, Goose…… Come in here.
STINGER’’S OFFICE – DOORWAY
Maverick appears, followed by Goose. They stand at attention.
