Sir？
The Skipper says nothing. Maverick sees the wings on the desk. He enters， walks over， stares down at them. He picks them up.
GOOSE
Don’’t worry. I’’ll talk to him.
STINGER
Don’’t.
MAVERICK
He’’s a good pilot.
STINGER
I talked a man back once. Three months later， we lost him. It’’s his decision. Only he knows.
GOOSE
He’’s the best you have. He’’s going Top Gun!
STINGER
Was.
MAVERICK
What？
STINGER
Was going.
（turns to Maverick）
Now you are.
MAVERICK
Me？
Maverick stares at the wings， lost in conflicting emotions.
STINGER
Well， he’’s going……
（indicating Goose）
…… and he needs someone to fly the plane.
GOOSE
Skipper， you can’’t do this!
STINGER
I didn’’t do it， he did it himself. Something about a wife and kid. The fact is， he’’s lost it. He knows it. I know it. You were up there， you know it， too.
GOOSE
Give him a break， Skipper. It was raining snakes up there. He’’ll be alright， soon as all the gorillas go home……
The Skipper stares at Goose， non-plussed for a moment.
STINGER
I know some RIOS are a little wiggy…… but you abuse the privilege! I don’’t believe I’’m going to have to put the two of you in the same cockpit…… but there it is! It may be good for the Navy. It might be good for you， but most of all， it’’s good for me. It’’ll get you out of my sight.
GOOSE
But， Skipper， Cougar’’s been picked for Top Gun…… He’’s the best of the best!
STINGER
Well， you’’ll just have to make do with him.
（indicates Maverick）.
Goose and Maverick exchange looks.
GOOSE
Mav’’s a great flyer but……
STINGER
He’’s a hell of a flyer. In fact， he’’s so damn good he might have been picked for Top Gun himself. Except for one thing.
（screams）
He just can’’t seem to follow orders!
Stinger moves slightly， to stand now， directly in front of Maverick and speak eye to eye at four inches.
STINGER
You just did an incredibly brave thing! What you should have done was land your plane. You don’’t own that plane， the taxpayers do. I should ream you out for it. But it just doesn’’t work with you. You’’re a hell of a flyer. You are maybe…… too good. You never really stepped in it yet. So this is your chance. I’’m gonna send you up against the best. They are better than you. Maybe they’’ll knock that shine off your eagle and you’’ll see， finally， where discipline and teamwork fit it. Maverick hasn’’t really heard anything but TOPGUN. He snaps out of it.
MAVERICK
Sir？
STINGER
That is all. Tell me about the MiG some other time……
MAVERICK
Yes sir!
He snaps off a salute and does an about face.
STINGER
Maverick……
He turns back.
MAVERICK
Yes sir……
STINGER
The wings……
He looks down at the wings in his hands， slowing walks over places them gently on the Skipper’’s desk.
STINGER
Gentlemen!
MAVERICK / GOOSE
Sir？
His facade cracks just slightly.
STINGER
Good luck.
INT. PASSAGEWAY
Maverick and Goose push through a gauntlet of aircrews. They have become notorious. Guys grab at them…… questions…… the MiGs？……What happened up there？ How close did they get？ What did the MiGs do？ One word is heard over and over…… "TopGun". Goose is left behind in the crowd. Maverick pushes through. He walks fast…… faster. Up ladders， around turns， down ladders， through passageways. Faster. He breaks into a trot， then a canter， squeezing past enlisted men， parts lockers， then he breaks into a run……
EXT. CARRIER – NIGHT AND STORM
A hatch slams open on the side of the Carrier. He’’s out on a catwalk， instantly soaked， running on rain slicked stairs cantilevered high over the breaking seas. He plunges forward to the bow of the ship， stands on the very peak. He is yelling something. He stands there as the bow plunges terrifyingly into the trough. The water rises like a green mountain， up， up to break just a few feet below him， showering him with spray. The noise is incredible.
Come around on his face. It is maddened. He raises his fist and punches the night.
