    Its a line from Top Gun Maverick, where the main character stole an enemy plane and it is approached mid air by a SU57, sowhen they try to communicate he tells his copilot “just smile and wave”

      I was thinking it’s from The Penguins of Madagascar, Skipper says “just smile and wave, boys, smile and wave” practically once per episode.

          The Penguins of Madagascar is much older than Top Gun: Maverick, how could it the show have referenced a movie from the future? Or did the original commenter mean the original Top Gun?
