1 First one dies, you die too. But there will be others. You can count it. You gotta let him go. — Viper
This is a very heart-touching and inspiring scene. You can’t let your emotions take control over you after someone dies up there. You have to let him go and move on.
2 You don’t have time to think up there. If you think, you’re dead. – Maverick
No matter how difficult and tough the circumstances are there, you have no time to think about the dead. You can’t let your emotions control you, otherwise, you’re going to end up dead.
3 What were you thinking? You told me not to think. – Rooster
Maverick advice of “Don’t think up there” backfired on him. It is the most funniest and ironic scene in the film. The intentional pause after this dialogue gave the audience time to let the emotions sink in. It was the genesis of the friendship between Rooster and Maverick.
4 One last thing, who’s the better pilot? You or me? It was a nice moment, let’s not ruin it. – Maverick
This scene was an emotional rollercoaster. Even after such a genuine conversation, when Iceman asked who’s the better pilot between the two of them. Maverick replied sarcastically to not ruin this moment.
5 Where am I? “Earth”. – Maverick
Maverick not following the orders, and asking the kid where he is? This scene gets hilarious after the kid reply. The movie opens with the most Maverick scene ever.
6 Please don’t tell me we lost an engine. Alright, I won’t tell you that. – Maverick
This scene is extremely intense as they are engaged in a fight against enemy planes. Despite such a powerful fighting sequence, the classic friendly banter between Maverick and Rooster continued.
7 How are we going to get this museum piece in the air? – Rooster
This scene is iconic as they ride home in F-14, the same plane that was used in Top Gun (1986). Rooster calling it a museum piece is a cherry on top.
8 I don’t sail boats, Penny. I land on them. – Penny
Even in the initial scenes, Penny made it clear that she’s a pilot and not a sailor.
9 I think the admiral is asking a rhetorical question. – Rear Admiral Solomon
Maverick being Maverick, disobeying and not following orders throughout the movie. This statement by Admiral is hilarious as he pointed the sarcasm here.
10 Maybe so, sir. But not today. -Maverick
This scene seems like a ray of hope and motivation given by Maverick. The end is inevitable, you can’t escape it. Even the Admiral felt this way. But Maverick proved as a ray of hope that it might be near, but it’s not happening today.
