Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : [to Bob, about Hangman] That's why we call him Hangman. He will always hang you out to dry.

Adm. Beau 'Cyclone' Simpson : [while Cyclone is giving the pilots new instructions on the mission, the screen shows a plane is about to run the course] Who the hell is that?

Maverick : Maverick to Range Control. Entering Point Alpha, confirm Green Range.

Mission Controller : Maverick, Range Control. Green Range is confirmed. I don't see an event scheduled for you, sir.

Maverick : Well, I'm going anyway.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Nice.

Maverick : Set the time to target, 2 minutes 15 seconds.

Payback : 2:15? That's impossible!

Maverick : File attack point, Maverick's inbound.

[Maverick runs the course and gets to the target]

Maverick : Bomb's away!

Lt. Robert 'Bob' Floyd : [after Maverick ran the training course in 2:14.84 and destroyed the target] Bullseye, holy shit!

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Damn!

Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : Got yourself another kill.

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : That makes two.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Mav has five. Makes him an ace.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Breaking the hard deck? Insubordination? Are you trying to get kicked out?

Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : Don't worry about it.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Look, I'm going on this mission, but if you get kicked out, you leave us flying with Hangman. Talk to me, what the hell was that?

Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : He pulled my papers.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : What? Who?

Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : Maverick. He pulled my application to Naval Academy. He set me back four years.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Why would he do that?

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Say, Phoenix. How's about we tell everybody 'Bob' stands for something? Other than Robert, I mean.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Don't take the bait, Bob. Wanna know why we call him Hangman?

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : All right. I got it. Baby On Board.

[Maverick appears out of nowhere and flies by at full speed between Phoenix and Hangman's planes]

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Shit!

Maverick : Greetings, aviators. Fight's on!

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Alright, Phoenix. Let's take this guy out!

Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : [Listening to the radio] Watch your back, Phoenix!

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Break right!

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Breaking right.

[Hangman leaves Phoenix]

Lt. Robert 'Bob' Floyd : Where's he going?

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : That's why we call him Hangman. He'll always hang you out to dry.

Maverick : Leaving your wingman. There's a strategy I haven't seen in a while.

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : He called you a man, Phoenix. You gonna take that?

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : So long as he doesn't call you a man.

[towards Bob]

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Talk to me, Bob, where's Maverick?

Lt. Robert 'Bob' Floyd : Jesus, his nose is already coming around!

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Get him off me, Hangman!

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : For all you folks at home, this is how you bury a fossil!

Maverick : Alright, Hangman. Time to teach you a lesson.

[Maverick puts Phoenix and Bob on missile lock]

Maverick : You're out, Phoenix.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Son of a bitch!

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Let's go, Mav, let's see what you got.

Maverick : Come get me!

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Evil be gone. Hangman's coming!

[Hangman keeps up with Maverick]

Maverick : Yeah, you're good. I'll give you that.

[Maverick flies up to the sun, blinding Hangman, who is after him]

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Shit! Phoenix, I can't see him. How close am I? Phoenix?

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : I'm dead, dickhead!

Lt. Robert 'Bob' Floyd : See you in the afterlife, Bagman.

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Where is he? Where is he?

[Maverick soars from behind Hangman and paints him killed]

Maverick : That's a kill.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Fellas, this here is Bagman.

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Hangman.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Whatever. You're looking at the only naval aviator in active duty with a confirmed air to air kill.

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Stop.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Mind you, the other guy was in a museum piece from the Korean War.

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : Cold War.

Payback : Different wars, same century.

Fanboy : Not this one.

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : Who are your friends?

Payback : Payback.

Fanboy : Fanboy.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Hey, Coyote.

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : Hey.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Who's he?

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : Who's who?

[Phoenix nods towards Bob]

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : When did you get in?

Lt. Robert 'Bob' Floyd : Oh, I- I've been here the whole time.

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : Well, the man's a stealth pilot.

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : Literally.

Lt. Robert 'Bob' Floyd : Weapons Systems Officer, actually.

Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : With no sense of humour.

Maverick : Why are they dead?

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : We broke the 300ft ceiling, and a S.A.M. took us out.

Maverick : No. Why are they dead?

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : I slowed down and I didn't give her a warning. It's my fault.

Maverick : Was there a reason you didn't communicate with your team?

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : I was focusin' on...

Maverick : One that their family will accept at the funeral.

Lt. Javy 'Coyote' Machado : No, sir.

Maverick : Why didn't you anticipate the turn? You were briefed on the terrain. Don't tell me... talk to his family.

[Phoenix looks at Bob]

Maverick : [On the bombing run] Dagger attack!

[Tomahawks launch from USS Leyte Gulf]

Naval Officer : Tomahawks airborne.

Adm. Solomon 'Warlock' Bates : No turning back now.

Maverick : Daggers, assume attack formation.

[Planes line up in single file]

Maverick : [Approaching coastline] Daggers set. Proceeding to target. Two minutes and thirty seconds in 3... 2... 1. Mark.

Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : Two mark.

Lt. Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace : Three mark.

Payback : Four mark.

Maverick : Going in.

Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : [singing] You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain, Too much love drives a man insane, You broke my will but what a thrill
