- Penny Benjamin: [to Maverick as he watches her enter her house after taking her home] Don't give me that look.
- Maverick: What look?
- Penny Benjamin: That one.
- Penny Benjamin: [They are out sailing] Little rougher than I was expecting.
- Maverick: You don't say!
- Penny Benjamin: Pull on the backstay. We'll de-power the sails.
- Maverick: OK. What does that mean?
- Penny Benjamin: You're supposed to be in the Navy!
- Maverick: I don't sail boats, Penny, I land on them!
- Penny Benjamin: [after teaching Maverick how to handle the sails, she pats his shoulder] Now you're in the Navy!
- Penny Benjamin: Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Pete!
- Maverick: Penny? What are you doing here?
- Penny Benjamin: I should ask you the same thing.
- Maverick: That is a long story.
- Penny Benjamin: I doubt that.
- Maverick: Yeah.
- Penny Benjamin: Who did you piss off this time?
- Maverick: Another admiral.
- Penny Benjamin: Exactly!
- Maverick: Are you mad at me?
- Penny Benjamin: Oh Pete, I could never stay mad at you, that's the problem.
- Maverick: I think, I think this is it.
- Penny Benjamin: Come on, Pete, you've been saying that as long as I've known you. You said that after they busted you for taking me on a joy ride in that F-18, and the next thing I know, you're off to Bosnia, then Iraq. Both times you get yourself in trouble, Iceman makes a call and you're back in the air.
- Maverick: Penny, this is different.
- Penny Benjamin: Pete, trust me. As improbable as it seems right now, somehow you'll be back in a fighter plane with your tail on fire.
- Penny Benjamin: Look, I have an example to set. I can't be bringing guys home on a first date.
- Maverick: This is not our first date.
- Penny Benjamin: You know what I mean.
- Maverick: Okay. Fine. But this is the last time I go out your window.
- Penny Benjamin: We'll see.
- Maverick: No. No, I mean it. I'm never gonna leave you again.
- Penny Benjamin: Oh, shut up.
- [kiss]
- Penny Benjamin: Go on, get out of here.
- Maverick: You and Amelia, you seem a lot closer than when I last saw you.
- Penny Benjamin: Yeah. Yeah, we are.
- Maverick: How do you manage?
- Penny Benjamin: Well, you know, she always wanted more freedom than I thought she was ready for.
- Maverick: Where'd she get that from, I wonder?
- Penny Benjamin: I guess I realized I also had to trust her. Let her make some of her own mistakes sometimes.
- Maverick: Not an easy choice.
