1:23:01
but he could have made it back.
1:23:02
He stayed in it.
1:23:04
Saved three planes
before he bought it.
1:23:09
MAVERlCK: How come I never
heard that before?
1:23:11
That's not something the State
Department tells dependents...
1:23:13
when the battle occurred
over the wrong line on some map.
1:23:18
MAVERlCK: So you were there?
1:23:20
VlPER: I was there.
1:23:23
What's on your mind?
1:23:26
My options, sir.
1:23:29
Simple.
1:23:31
First, you've acquired enough
points to show up tomorrow...
1:23:34
and graduate
with your Top Gun class...
1:23:36
or you could quit.
1:23:40
There'd be no disgrace.
That spin was hell.
1:23:43
It would've shook me up.
1:23:44
So you think I should quit?
1:23:46
I didn't say that.
1:23:50
The simple fact is you
feel responsible for Goose...
1:23:53
and you have
a confidence problem.
1:23:57
I'm not going to sit here
and blow sunshine up your ass.
1:24:00
A good pilot is compelled
to evaluate what's happened...
1:24:05
so he can apply
what he's learned.
1:24:08
Up there, we got to push it.
1:24:11
That's our job.
1:24:15
It's your option, Lieutenant...
1:24:17
all yours.
1:24:30
Sorry to bother you
on a Sunday, sir...
1:24:33
but thank you very much
for your time.
1:24:35
VlPER: No problem. Good luck.
