So I could go on to a bigger one with a young guy like yourself? 178 00:25:21,682 --> 00:25:24,935 Maybe. 179 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,774 - I have to get up early in the morning. - What are you doing? 180 00:25:32,443 --> 00:25:36,739 Your friend was magnificent. 181 00:25:42,953 --> 00:25:46,707 You'll also be trained and evaluated by civilian specialists. 182 00:25:46,957 --> 00:25:51,754 They are our best source of information on enemy aircraft. 183 00:25:52,004 --> 00:25:57,634 One of the most qualified is call sign Charlie, with a Ph.D. in astrophysics. 184 00:25:57,885 --> 00:26:04,850 Listen to her, because the Pentagon listens to her about your proficiency. 185 00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:08,562 All yours, Charlie. 186 00:26:08,812 --> 00:26:15,110 Hello. We will be dealing with F-5s and A-4s as our MiG simulators. 187 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:21,325 As you know, the F-5 doesn't have the thrust-to-weight ratio of the MiG-28. 188 00:26:21,575 --> 00:26:26,205 And it doesn't bleed energy below 300 knots like the MiG-28. 189 00:26:26,455 --> 00:26:32,086 However, the MiG-28 does have a problem with its inverted flight tanks. 190 00:26:32,336 --> 00:26:35,506 It won't do a negative G push-over. 191 00:26:35,756 --> 00:26:41,303 The latest intelligence tells us the most it will do is ... 192 00:26:41,553 --> 00:26:45,099 Excuse me, Lieutenant. Is there something wrong? 193 00:26:45,349 --> 00:26:50,729 - The data on the MiG is inaccurate. - How's that? 194 00:26:50,979 --> 00:26:55,943 Well, I just happened to see a MiG-28 ... Sorry, Goose. 195 00:26:56,193 --> 00:27:01,949 We happened to see a MiG-28 do a four G negative dive. 196 00:27:02,199 --> 00:27:04,868 Where did you see this? 197 00:27:05,077 --> 00:27:11,291 That's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. 198 00:27:11,542 --> 00:27:14,503 I have Top Secret clearance. 199 00:27:14,753 --> 00:27:19,216 The Pentagon sees to it that I know more than you. 200 00:27:19,466 --> 00:27:27,474 - Well, it doesn't seem to be the case. - So, where exactly were you? 201 00:27:27,683 --> 00:27:34,440 We started up on his six when he pulled through the clouds. I went above him. 202 00:27:34,690 --> 00:27:38,944 If you were directly above him, how could you see him? 203 00:27:39,194 --> 00:27:42,906 - Because I was inverted. - Bullshit. 204 00:27:43,157 --> 00:27:46,577 No, he was, man. It was a really great move. 205 00:27:46,827 --> 00:27:52,041 You were in a four G inverted dive with a MiG-28? 206 00:27:52,291 --> 00:27:55,210 - Yes, ma'am. - At what range? 207 00:27:55,461 --> 00:28:01,258 - About two metres? - 11/2. I have a great Polaroid of it. 208 00:28:01,508 --> 00:28:05,012 - It was a nice picture. - Lieutenant? 209 00:28:07,347 --> 00:28:12,394 - What were you doing there? - Communicating. 210 00:28:12,644 --> 00:28:16,231 Keeping up foreign relations. 211 00:28:16,482 --> 00:28:20,903 - I was, you know, giving him the bird. - You know, the finger. 212 00:28:21,153 --> 00:28:26,325 - I know the finger. - I hate it when it does that. I'm sorry. 213 00:28:26,575 --> 00:28:30,329 - Excuse me. - So you're the one? 214 00:28:30,579 --> 00:28:35,334 - Yes, ma'am. - All right, we have a hop to take. 215 00:28:35,584 --> 00:28:41,006 The hard-deck on this is 10,000 feet. There'll be no engagement below that. 216 00:28:41,256 --> 00:28:42,966 Move it! 217 00:28:47,346 --> 00:28:50,682 Lieutenant! 218 00:28:50,933 --> 00:28:55,771 Don't be late again. You look great, honey. 219 00:28:56,021 --> 00:29:00,359 Why didn't you tell me you were the famous MiG lnsulter?. 220 00:29:00,609 --> 00:29:05,739 - Would it have made any difference? - Not in the ladies' room. 221 00:29:05,989 --> 00:29:12,913 I see 20 new hotshots every eight weeks. I'm sure you can figure that out. 222 00:29:13,163 --> 00:29:19,420 I'd just really like to hear about the MiG sometime. 223 00:29:19,670 --> 00:29:24,800 You've got security clearance. You can read about it. 224 00:29:29,596 --> 00:29:34,476 Maverick?. I'm curious. 225 00:29:34,727 --> 00:29:41,692 Who was covering Cougar while you were showboating with his MiG? 226 00:29:41,942 --> 00:29:44,027 Cougar was doing just fine. 227 00:29:47,072 --> 00:29:51,452 This is your fiirsthop. Thejets you're flying against are smaller and faster, - 228 00:29:51,702 --> 00:29:56,665 -justlike the enemy MiGs. As ofnow we are keeping score. 229 00:29:56,915 --> 00:30:01,295 - I lost him, Goose. - Show me what you've got, kid. 230 00:30:02,838 --> 00:30:06,008 - I lost him. - I'm looking. 231 00:30:07,676 --> 00:30:11,847 - He's on our tail, coming hard. - I got him. Here we go. 232 00:30:25,152 --> 00:30:29,740 - Talk to me, Goose. - He's still back there. Closing in on us. 233 00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:34,453 You can run, kid, but you can't hide. 234 00:30:36,497 --> 00:30:41,377 All right, Jester, I'll give you a run for your money here. 235 00:30:45,631 --> 00:30:48,050 Watch the mountains! 236 00:30:57,726 --> 00:31:02,981 He's still back there. Come on, Mav, do some of that pilot shit. 237 00:31:13,450 --> 00:31:17,830 - Come on, bring it right. - I've had about enough of this shit. 238 00:31:20,082 --> 00:31:23,127 - I'll hit the brakes, he'll fly right by. - You're mine. 239 00:31:30,884 --> 00:31:32,845 Jesus Christ! 240 00:31:36,598 --> 00:31:40,269 - Let's see what you've got now, Jester. - Let's turn and burn. 241 00:31:58,704 --> 00:32:03,083 - He's going vertical. So am l. - We're going ballistic. Go get him! 242 00:32:12,551 --> 00:32:15,763 He's going for the hard-deck. Let's nail him. 243 00:32:16,013 --> 00:32:20,267 No way, Jester. You're mine. 244 00:32:34,656 --> 00:32:36,533 I've got you now! 245 00:32:39,411 --> 00:32:43,957 - Jester's dead. - Jester's dead. 246 00:32:46,251 --> 00:32:49,922 Get your butts above the hard-deck and return to base. 247 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,969 Yes, sir! 248 00:33:00,724 --> 00:33:07,022 - This is Ghost Rider requesting a fly-by. - Negative. The pattern is full. 249 00:33:07,272 --> 00:33:12,653 - No, Mav. This is not a good idea. - Sorry, but it's time to buzz the tower. 250 00:33:24,164 --> 00:33:26,959 Goddamn son of a bitch! 251 00:33:30,838 --> 00:33:33,006 Great balls of fire. 252 00:33:36,885 --> 00:33:39,805 - Jester's dead. - You won? Bullshit. 253 00:33:40,055 --> 00:33:45,686 - Didn't everybody?. - We got our butts kicked. 254 00:33:45,936 --> 00:33:50,858 I said to Hollywood, "Where did he go?" He said, "Where did who go?" 255 00:33:51,108 --> 00:33:56,196 - And he's laughing at us on the radio. - That was me, dickhead. We won. 256 00:33:56,447 --> 00:34:00,951 - All right! - They won too, man. 257 00:34:01,201 --> 00:34:04,872 - That's not what I heard. - We got Jester. 258 00:34:05,122 --> 00:34:09,251 - Below the hard-deck doesn't count. - We nailed that son of a bitch. 259 00:34:09,501 --> 00:34:14,590 - You guys really are cowboys. - What's your problem, Kazansky?. 260 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,053 You're everyone's problem. Every time you fly, you're unsafe. 261 00:34:19,303 --> 00:34:25,100 - I don't like you. You're dangerous. - That's right, lceman. 262 00:34:25,350 --> 00:34:29,021 I am dangerous. 263 00:34:30,522 --> 00:34:35,194 Maverick?. You and Goose get your butts up to Viper's office, now! 264 00:34:39,281 --> 00:34:43,452 Remember, no points for second place. 265 00:34:43,702 --> 00:34:48,123 - You're a lot brighter than you look. - You shut up. 266 00:34:48,374 --> 00:34:56,215 Two of your snot-nosed jockeys flew by by at over 400 knots. I want their butts! 267 00:34:58,092 --> 00:35:02,888 Damn it, that's twice. I want some butts! 268 00:35:03,764 --> 00:35:09,144 - That just about covers the fly-bys. - Follow me. 269 00:35:13,524 --> 00:35:18,779 Gentlemen. You had a hell of a first day. 270 00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:27,913 The hard-deck for this hop was 10,000 feet. You knew it. You broke it. 271 00:35:28,163 --> 00:35:35,462 You followed Commander Heatherly below after he lost sight of you. Why?. 272 00:35:35,713 --> 00:35:42,219 Sir, I had him in my sights. He saw me move in for the kill. 273 00:35:42,469 --> 00:35:49,226 He proceeded below the hard-deck. We were below forjust a few seconds. 274 00:35:49,476 --> 00:35:53,105 I had the shot. There was no danger, so I took it. 275 00:35:54,565 --> 00:35:59,319 You took it, and broke a major rule of engagement. 276 00:35:59,570 --> 00:36:05,492 Then you broke another one with that circus stunt fly-by. 277 00:36:05,743 --> 00:36:10,664 Top Gun rules of engagement exist for your safety and for that of your team. 278 00:36:10,914 --> 00:36:17,463 They're not flexible, nor am l. Obey them or you're history. Is that clear?. 279 00:36:19,673 --> 00:36:22,843 Yes, sir! 280 00:36:29,933 --> 00:36:32,519 Dismissed. 281 00:36:36,648 --> 00:36:42,071 I really enjoyed that, Mav, thanks a lot. Holy shit. 282 00:36:45,449 --> 00:36:52,706 Maybe I could be a truck driver. You got the number of that truck-driving school? 283 00:36:52,956 --> 00:36:57,878 Fitness report says it all. He's a wild card. 284 00:36:58,128 --> 00:37:01,924 Completely unpredictable. 285 00:37:02,174 --> 00:37:06,303 - He got you, didn't he? - Yeah. 286 00:37:06,553 --> 00:37:11,392 Maverick. I flew with his old man. 287 00:37:15,437 --> 00:37:22,027 Tell me, if you had to go into battle, would you want him with you? 288 00:37:22,277 --> 00:37:26,031 I just don't know. 289 00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:39,294 - Still awake? - Yeah. 290 00:37:42,381 --> 00:37:45,384 - What's up? - I can't sleep. 291 00:37:47,803 --> 00:37:54,143 When I realised we were off to Top Gun, all I could think about was that trophy. 292 00:37:54,393 --> 00:37:59,606 I've got to be straight with you, Mav. Right now, I just hope we graduate. 293 00:38:02,276 --> 00:38:07,197 I got a family to think about. I can't afford to blow this. 294 00:38:09,450 --> 00:38:13,871 I guess that fly-by wasn't such a big hit, huh? 295 00:38:17,124 --> 00:38:22,463 I know it's tough. The Academy rejected you because you're Duke Mitchell's kid. 296 00:38:22,713 --> 00:38:30,846 You have to live with that reputation. But it's like you're flying against a ghost. 297 00:38:31,096 --> 00:38:35,309 It makes me nervous. 298 00:38:38,771 --> 00:38:44,568 You're the only family I've got. I'm not gonna let you down. I promise. 299 00:38:53,744 --> 00:38:57,748 Get out of here. 300 00:39:12,262 --> 00:39:16,850 A rolling reversal would work well in that situation. 301 00:39:17,101 --> 00:39:20,604 If I reversed on a hard cross, I could go to guns on him. 302 00:39:20,854 --> 00:39:25,901 But at that speed, it's too fast. It's a little bit too aggressive. 303 00:39:26,151 --> 00:39:30,572 Too aggressive? 304 00:39:30,823 --> 00:39:35,911 I guess when I see something, I go right after it. 305 00:39:36,161 --> 00:39:42,042 - You didn't tell me who you were. - I didn't get a chance. You deserved it. 306 00:39:43,711 --> 00:39:51,760 I know ... but you were tempted to ask me out for dinner. 307 00:39:52,010 --> 00:39:56,640 No. I don't date students. 308 00:40:06,483 --> 00:40:12,573 I can see it's dangerous for you. But if the government trusts me ... 309 00:40:12,823 --> 00:40:16,660 ... maybe you could. 310 00:40:21,457 --> 00:40:25,878 It takes a lot more than just fancy flying. 311 00:40:38,307 --> 00:40:42,561 Crash and burn, huh, Mav?. 312 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,982 Slider ... 313 00:40:48,734 --> 00:40:51,820 You stink. 314 00:41:00,621 --> 00:41:02,581 Let's go! 315 00:42:22,828 --> 00:42:27,082 Come on, Mav. Just one more game. That evens it up. 316 00:42:27,332 --> 00:42:31,712 - I got some things to take care of. - Just one more game. 317 00:42:31,962 --> 00:42:36,383 Please? For me? Come on ... For me? 318 00:43:10,876 --> 00:43:14,171 Damn it. 319 00:43:24,598 --> 00:43:27,476 Lieutenant? 320 00:43:31,939 --> 00:43:36,735 - What? No singing? - Look, I'm ... 321 00:43:37,027 --> 00:43:40,697 No apologies. 322 00:43:46,578 --> 00:43:51,792 If you don't mind, I'll just take a quick shower while you're finishing up here. 323 00:43:54,086 --> 00:43:58,507 I do mind. I'm hungry. 324 00:44:01,677 --> 00:44:05,347 And then I thought about it. 325 00:44:05,597 --> 00:44:10,060 I thought, "You know, he's a smart guy." 326 00:44:10,310 --> 00:44:16,233 "Why don't you just tell him why you've got him here?" 327 00:44:18,110 --> 00:44:21,488 It's the MiG. 328 00:44:23,782 --> 00:44:30,497 The MiG. You're the only pilot who's been up against a MiG-28. 329 00:44:31,915 --> 00:44:37,421 I'm trying for this big promotion. If I get it, I won't be here much longer. 330 00:44:37,671 --> 00:44:41,633 Seems to me you've got it all figured out. 331 00:44:43,510 --> 00:44:48,640 Except you did forget the wine. 332 00:44:48,891 --> 00:44:51,185 Sorry. 333 00:44:51,435 --> 00:44:56,815 - You always get what you want? - No, not always. Yeah, maybe. 334 00:44:57,066 --> 00:45:01,528 Then relax about the MiG. 335 00:45:14,625 --> 00:45:18,379 This music ... 336 00:45:18,629 --> 00:45:22,007 An old friend? 337 00:45:22,257 --> 00:45:28,180 My folks loved it. I haven't heard this in years. 338 00:45:28,430 --> 00:45:33,477 My mother used to call from her room and have me play this over and over. 339 00:45:33,727 --> 00:45:38,148 I got so sick of it. 340 00:45:38,399 --> 00:45:44,905 But not her. She'd sit up there alone, just listening for hours. 341 00:45:45,155 --> 00:45:51,662 Just listening. She died shortly after him. 342 00:45:51,912 --> 00:45:56,375 What happened to your father?. 343 00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:06,593 I figured with your security clearance you'd know more about it than I do. 344 00:46:06,844 --> 00:46:12,182 Well, I didn't get that far. 345 00:46:12,391 --> 00:46:15,644 It's a big mystery. 346 00:46:15,894 --> 00:46:20,607 He disappeared in an F-4, November 5th, 1965. 347 00:46:23,193 --> 00:46:28,449 The stink of it was ... he screwed up. 348 00:46:28,699 --> 00:46:34,079 No way. My old man was a great fighter pilot. 349 00:46:36,957 --> 00:46:42,713 But who the hell knows? It's all classified. 350 00:46:42,963 --> 00:46:47,468 - Somebody must know. - Yeah, somebody knows everything. 351 00:46:47,718 --> 00:46:52,806 Is that why you're always second best up there? 352 00:46:53,057 --> 00:46:57,352 You are direct, aren't you. 353 00:47:03,609 --> 00:47:07,654 I'm sorry I was late. 354 00:47:07,905 --> 00:47:13,869 - I'm sorry for being direct. - No apologies. 355 00:47:14,119 --> 00:47:19,541 This is going to be complicated. 356 00:47:29,218 --> 00:47:33,514 - Where are you going? - I'm gonna take a shower. 357 00:47:37,935 --> 00:47:42,940 Thank you. I enjoyed being here. 358 00:48:20,018 --> 00:48:24,898 It looks like you need another shower. 359 00:48:25,149 --> 00:48:28,569 Right. 360 00:48:32,573 --> 00:48:35,951 I'm gonna be honest with you. 361 00:48:36,201 --> 00:48:41,290 Your MiG sighting is really important to my work, but ... 362 00:48:45,335 --> 00:48:50,424 I don't normally invite students to my house. You're ... 363 00:48:58,682 --> 00:49:02,227 But please understand, I still have a job to do. 364 00:49:28,337 --> 00:49:33,801 I'm glad we got that straight. 365 00:49:49,274 --> 00:49:54,154 I told her how tough it is here. My ass dragging like an old tired dog. 366 00:49:54,405 --> 00:49:57,699 I told her you didn't even have a woman. 367 00:49:57,950 --> 00:50:01,662 She said, "He probably doesn't have one, but eight." 368 00:50:06,667 --> 00:50:12,214 - Hi! - Daddy. 369 00:50:17,761 --> 00:50:23,726 Goose tells me you're in love with one of your instructors. 370 00:50:23,976 --> 00:50:29,064 I didn't tell her that. I can't believe you said that. That was a secret. 371 00:50:36,739 --> 00:50:42,119 The bogey has good position right here. Freeze frame. A moment of choice. 372 00:50:42,369 --> 00:50:46,665 The F-14 is defensive. He has a chance to bug out right here. 373 00:50:46,915 --> 00:50:53,380 Better to retire and save your aircraft than push a bad position. 374 00:50:53,630 --> 00:50:58,844 Charlie, jump in here any time. You stay in that diamond another three seconds, - 375 00:50:59,094 --> 00:51:03,891 - the bogey's gonna blow you away. You take a hard right, select zone five ... 376 00:51:04,141 --> 00:51:09,063 You can extend an escape. You made a bad choice. 377 00:51:09,313 --> 00:51:16,487 - Charlie? - Aircraft one performs a split S? 378 00:51:16,737 --> 00:51:20,908 That's the last thing you should do. The MiG's right on your tail. 379 00:51:21,158 --> 00:51:27,748 Freeze there. The MiG has you in his gunsight. What were you thinking? 380 00:51:27,998 --> 00:51:32,503 You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead. 381 00:51:32,753 --> 00:51:38,509 That's a big gamble with a $30 million plane. 382 00:51:43,806 --> 00:51:49,019 Unfortunately, it worked. The MiG never got a clean shot. 383 00:51:49,269 --> 00:51:55,859 Maverick makes an aggressive vertical move and defeats him with a missile. 384 00:51:56,110 --> 00:52:01,490 The encounter was a victory, but we show it as an example of what not to do. 385 00:52:03,492 --> 00:52:05,786 Next. 386 00:52:06,036 --> 00:52:09,498 Gutsiest move I ever saw, man. 387 00:52:12,042 --> 00:52:17,297 Now then, this is a perfect example of a textbook manoeuvre. 388 00:52:29,393 --> 00:52:31,103 Lieutenant? 389 00:52:43,991 --> 00:52:48,954 My review of your performance was right on, in my professional opinion. 390 00:52:49,204 --> 00:52:53,000 I can't hear you. 391 00:53:11,435 --> 00:53:17,775 Jesus! And you call me reckless? When I fly, my crew and my plane come first. 392 00:53:18,025 --> 00:53:24,406 I'm gonna finish my sentence. My review of your performance was right on. 393 00:53:24,656 --> 00:53:30,287 I see some real genius in your flying, but I can't say that in there. 394 00:53:30,537 --> 00:53:34,375 I was afraid they'd see right through me. 395 00:53:34,625 --> 00:53:40,130 I don't want anyone to know that I've fallen for you. 396 00:55:25,194 --> 00:55:28,781 - Hey, Maverick?. Hear about lce? - What's that? 397 00:55:29,031 --> 00:55:33,160 - He won another one. - Really?. 398 00:55:33,410 --> 00:55:38,665 I fell the need ... the need for speed. 399 00:55:41,919 --> 00:55:47,674 This is hop 19. Multiple aircraft, multiple bogeys. Your training is halfover. 400 00:55:47,925 --> 00:55:52,471 The competltion for the trophy remains tight. Firstplace, lceman. 401 00:55:52,721 --> 00:55:55,974 Second, Maverick, two points behind. 402 00:55:56,225 --> 00:55:59,728 There they are. Three miles, 10 o'clock. 403 00:55:59,978 --> 00:56:05,109 I see them. Two A-4s. Left 10 o'clock level. Continue left turn. 404 00:56:13,909 --> 00:56:21,625 - Good morning. The temperature is 1 10. - Viper's up here? Great. Oh, shit. 405 00:56:21,875 --> 00:56:27,047 He's probably saying, "Holy shit, it's Maverick and Goose." 406 00:56:31,218 --> 00:56:36,890 - I've got my eye on the northern bogey. - Roger, I've got the southern guy. 407 00:56:37,141 --> 00:56:41,103 Hollywood, you lead. I'll cover you. 408 00:56:51,864 --> 00:56:54,158 Break now, Jester. 409 00:56:58,203 --> 00:57:01,331 We're losing Viper. Let's just stay on Jester. 410 00:57:05,836 --> 00:57:13,093 - Goose, find Viper. He's out there. - Stay with Hollywood. 411 00:57:13,343 --> 00:57:18,057 - There's Viper. Three o'clock low. - We're Hollywood's cover. 412 00:57:18,307 --> 00:57:22,352 - Don't you leave me. - Hollywood, you're looking good. 413 00:57:22,603 --> 00:57:24,688 I'm going after Viper. 414 00:57:27,316 --> 00:57:30,277 - Goddamn you! - Don't leave him. 415 00:57:30,527 --> 00:57:34,448 Hollywood's okay. I want Viper. 416 00:57:36,950 --> 00:57:39,661 Viper's coming down. 417 00:57:45,959 --> 00:57:49,380 Holy shit. We're head-to-head. 418 00:58:03,519 --> 00:58:06,897 Rock and roll! Here's our big chance. 419 00:58:09,608 --> 00:58:12,694 Come on, goddamn it. 420 00:58:14,905 --> 00:58:17,699 Come on, keep coming. 421 00:58:20,828 --> 00:58:24,790 Okay, sidewinder missile selected.

I'm switching to guns. 427 00:58:59,742 --> 00:59:03,078 Come on, come on. 428 00:59:04,038 --> 00:59:06,832 Stick with it ... 429 00:59:09,793 --> 00:59:13,839 - Hold it.

Let's go home. Viper has the lead. 433 00:59:37,237 --> 00:59:41,366 - 30 seconds, Wolfman. I'm coming in. - Shut up! 434 00:59:42,534 --> 00:59:47,289 That was some of the best flying I've seen yet. Until you got killed. 435 00:59:47,539 --> 00:59:52,211 You never, never leave your wingman. 436 00:59:57,257 --> 01:00:03,055 Maverick ... It's not your flying, it's your attitude. 437 01:00:04,431 --> 01:00:11,772 The enemy's dangerous, but right now you're worse. Dangerous and foolish. 438 01:00:12,022 --> 01:00:19,071 You may not like who's flying with you, but whose side are you on? 439 01:00:26,787 --> 01:00:33,335 At least Viper got lceman before he got us. We've still got a shot at it. 440 01:00:33,585 --> 01:00:39,675 That was stupid, I know better than that. That will never happen again. 441 01:00:42,511 --> 01:00:45,806 I know ... 442 01:00:49,184 --> 01:00:52,855 I know. 443 01:01:40,861 --> 01:01:45,282 Go fetch him. Doesn't he ever embarrass you? 444 01:01:45,532 --> 01:01:51,538 - Hell no.

Great. 447 01:02:00,047 --> 01:02:05,511 He tells me about all of them.
