I'm in Burbank Airport and I'm here because Tom Cruise has asked me to meet him here at 5 a.m.

When Tom Cruise calls, you sort of have to say yes, so...

James!

Tom!

What are we doing here?

Huh?

We're gonna have a date.

Really?

Yeah, we're gonna have a date.

It's a surprise.

It's not like I'm being kidnapped.

What is happening?

All right.

Look at this.

So where are we?

What's going on?

What are we doing?

Last time we jumped out of an airplane.

We did.

Never forget it.

Today we're gonna go flying.

But we just went flying.

That's what we literally just did.

We're gonna fly in that.

We're gonna have a gun game.

Hang on.

So when you say we're gonna be flying in that, who's gonna be flying?

I'll fly you in that.

But you're not a pilot.

You're an actor.

I fly airplanes also.

Right.

With all due respect, you played a lawyer in A Few Good Men.

I wouldn't want you to represent me in court, okay?

I'm gonna go up in a 75-year-old plane with someone who isn't a pilot.

Okay.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

Mm-hmm.

Cool.

Yeah.

Okay, James, where are you going?

We're in the airplane.

James is doing this.

Was he the first late-night show that I asked?

Hell no.

He was just the first one and the only one who said yes.

Now what?

Keep going?

What do you mean, up onto the...

Yes.

Oh, my God.

Even this is terrifying.

So this is your seatbelt, okay?

You've got your parachute underneath.

It's not gonna happen.

But if it does happen, if we lose an engine and it catches on fire and we decide we're gonna jump out of the airplane, I'll get rid of the canopy, I'm gonna pitch the nose up 45 degrees, and then I'm gonna go inverted, and I'm gonna dump you out of the airplane.

Now, when you dump out of the airplane, here's your ring...

Are you joking?

No, I'm just...

I said dump me out of the airplane.

This is not gonna happen.

The plane is on fire.

We lose an engine.

How many engines are on the plane?

One.

So when you say lose an engine, you mean lose the engine?

The engine, yeah.

I'm just gonna turn over, and I'm gonna plop you out.

So you're gonna plop me out?

I'm just gonna turn over, I'm gonna plop you out.

You're gonna plop me out of the plane?

Just plop you out of the...

Don't want to be plopped out.

Oh, ****.

All right, you ready?

Oh, no, not really, no.

Oh, God.

Tom, what's the Wi-Fi password?

What?

What's the Wi-Fi password?

We don't have that on board yet.

Oh, my God.

Are you good?

Well, why don't we just head back and get a drink or something?

We're gonna dive to the left.

We're gonna dive.

Oh, my God.

Okay, I got a hard bank left.

Tom, what do I do if I need the toilet?

You're gonna have to hold it on this flight.

No, don't worry about it.

I don't need the toilet anymore.

Who's that?

Tom, who's that?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

That's it.

I think we got a shark fight on our hands.

Shark fight?

I think he wants to fight us.

I don't want to fight them.

I would like to go home, please.

Oh, my God.

Is he behind you?

Yes, he's behind us.

Only on the left.

On the left-hand corner.

I don't know what's happening.

Oh, my God.

Tom, what are you doing?

Get off.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I don't give a damn.

We're still gonna be flying quite close to the top of this mountain.

Remember, we're in a shark fight.

That is a mountain.

What do we do?

Pop.

Pop.

Oh, my God.

That's too close.

Oh, my God.

What are you doing?

You're a madman.

You're insane.

How are you doing, James?

How do you feel, buddy?

I'm fine.

I don't feel great.

You did great, James.

You did great.

That was intense.

You did good.

I mean, the fact that this is your idea of a fun day out just tells me how different we are as human beings.

It'll get better.

The next plane has air conditioning.

I mean, I couldn't run away if I wanted to, you know?

Okay.

This morning, that was fun.

That was easy. 1944 airplane.

Now we're getting into the serious Top Gun stuff.

You and I are going up in that.

Today is all about training to prepare you to fly in that tomorrow morning.

Okay.

You can do this.

I don't want to do it, but listen, honestly, I don't want to do it.

I have no interest.

You are my goose.

When you say I'm your goose, it makes me feel excited, and then I realize that goose dies at the end of the film.

You're the first half of the film goose.

You've lost that loving feeling.

You've lost that loving feeling.

Yes.

Yes.

Well, that's the goose I want to be.

That's the goose you are.

I want to be in a bar singing You've Lost That Loving Feeling.

That's exactly it.

You can do this.

You can do this.

Feel that force?

Yep.

Yep.

Okay.

Okay.

Now, I'm pulling straight up.

Mm-hmm.

You're going to feel that.

Yep.

Okay?

Mm-hmm.

Now, if we're pulling back, you're going to feel that.

Okay.

Negative G.

That's negative G.

Negative G, and then when you feel positive, it's going to be like that.

Negative?

Mm-hmm.

Positive.

Right.

Does that hurt at all, or is that okay?

I mean, it hurts my pride a little bit, but it doesn't really hurt me physically.

We're going to get in the same position that we are in the aircraft, which is I'm in front, you're behind.

Okay.

Yep.

Put your hands on my waist.

Okay.

That's a higher pitch sound, okay?

Stay with me.

Banking left.

Banking right.

Right.

Stay with me.

This cannot be the training.

This is reinforcing my belief that you don't have a clue what you're doing.

This is a conga.

We're doing the conga.

Why can't we just spend a nice day?

We've already gone in one flight.

I didn't particularly enjoy it, but I knew you...

Baby.

Baby.

Baby.

Baby.

I need your love.

Need your love.

I need your love.

Need your love.

Okay.

Right.

If we can't fly that until 6 a.m. tomorrow, what do we do between now and then?

Say it was a right thing to put me there.

But dreaming takes you nowhere.

It's time to play.

Are you okay?

Yeah, that's it.

I can't fly tomorrow.

I won't be able to fly with that now.

Yeah?

No chance.

Let me see it.

No, you don't want to look at it.

It's probably a break.

I think it's a clean break.

I'll just hold it.

Okay.

Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan vibes.

That's a shame.

I was looking forward to going up there.

Well, that's all right.

We'll see how you feel in the morning.

Yeah, so I looked around.

I saw everyone's drinking cocktails or making cocktails.

So I said, let's call the movie Cocktail.

It's a movie Mission Impossible.

The mission turned out to be possible because I did it.

Right.

And the same is true for all the sequels.

Suddenly worried that we'll attract some kind of wolf.

This is us tomorrow.

Eject!

Eject!

James, take your seatbelt off.

Eject!

Dude, can we go out?

Yeah, let's see.

That isn't a funny joke.

We were having a great time then and you ruined it.

Tom?

Yes, James?

If you kill me tomorrow, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life.

James?

Yep?

If I kill you tomorrow, I'll be dead too.

That's a good point.

I hadn't thought of that.

I love you, Tom.

Thank you.

Look at that.

It's got my name on it, Tom.

Oh, geez.

Hang on.

Wait.

I've got to adjust my goose and mavericks.

Right.

Yeah.

Because that's my best look.

You look like a fighter pilot.

I look like a hamster.

That's the throttle.

I'm not going to touch the throttle.

Here's the flaps.

I don't need to know about your flaps.

It's a fun day, isn't it?

All right.

Here we go.

My way to the danger zone.

Yes.

See, Tom, this is a different level to that last plane.

I could take an in-flight meal in this plane.

Today's music game got the same soul.

Talk to me, goose.
