F-14 pilot #1 Quotes in The Final Countdown (1980)

[after receiving the order to abort the attack on the Japanese Task Force]

Strike Leader: Read you loud and clear. Strike force, this is strike leader. Return to base, mission aborted.

F-14 pilot #1: Mission aborted? But we can see 'em!

F-14 pilot #2: They're gonna let the Japs do it again.

F-14 pilot #1: [the Japanese Zeroes have just destroyed the Yacht] They blew it to pieces! They must've hit the fuel tank!

Captain Yelland: Any survivors?

F-14 pilot #1: Stand by... Affirmative. One, two, three Mae West. Hey wait a minute! Those bastards are turning back, they're gonna strafe them in the water! Request permission to arm and fire!

Captain Yelland: Eagle Control to Alert One, you are clear to arm, but don't fire. Throw them off, play with them, but do not fire.

F-14 pilot #1: Affirmative!

[the F-14's proceed to intercept the Zeroes]

F-14 pilot #1: Say, Fox... that woke 'em up

F-14 pilot #2: Yeah, but I think we should give 'em another shot!

[the Tomcats have just destroyed the Zeroes]

F-14 pilot #1: Eagle Control, Alert One. Splash two, repeat, splash two. Possibly one survivor in the water.
