- Wo-1. Bernie 'Hondo' Coleman: Maverick, Maverick. Hey, you with me? I don't like that look, Mav.
- Maverick: It's the only one I got. Thank you. If I don't see you again, Hondo, thank you.
- Wo-1. Bernie 'Hondo' Coleman: It's been an honor, Captain.
- Maverick: [shows off thick manual] The F-18 NATOPS. Contains everything they want you to know about your aircraft. I'm assuming you know the book inside and out.
- Payback: Damn right!
- Lt. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin: Damn straight.
- Maverick: [tosses the manual into the trash] So does your enemy.
- Wo-1. Bernie 'Hondo' Coleman: [under his breath] And we're off...
- Maverick: But what the enemy doesn't know is your limits. I intend to find them. Test them. Push beyond. Today we'll start with what you only think you know. And you show me what you're made of.
