Maverick : [At the beginning of a training mission] Good morning, aviators. This is your captain speaking. Welcome to Basic Fighter Maneuvers, As briefed, today's exercise is dog-fighting, guns only, no missiles. We do not go below the hard deck of 5,000 ft. Working as team you have to shoot me down or else...
Payback : ...or else what, sir?
Maverick : ...or else I shoot back. If I shoot either one of you down, you both lose.
Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin : This guy needs an ego check.
Lt. Brigham 'Harvard' Lennox : We'll see to that!
Payback : Sir, what say we put some skin in the game?
Maverick : What do you have in mind?
Payback : Whoever gets shot down first has to do 200 push-ups.
Maverick : Guys, that's a lot of push-ups.
Fanboy : Ah well, they don't call it an exercise for nothing, sir.
Maverick : You got yourself a deal, gentlemen. Fight's on. Let's turn and burn!
Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : Fanboy, you see him?
Fanboy : Not beyond the radar up ahead. He must be somewhere behind us.
Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw : [Maverick got ready and from below them, swooshed past between their jets upwards] Damn it!
Fanboy : What the hell?
Payback : Oh shit!
Maverick : Easy, Maverick. Let's try not to get fired on the first day.

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.
