Full transcript
Larry, is that a sausage? Emergency equipment. Eyes forward, Romeo. Pilots, this is your final training mission. Stay focused. Copy that. Larry sausage ready for action. Your call sign is Maverick. Not anymore. Call me Sausage. Larry, bogey on your six. I see him. Fox two, sausage away. Are those sausages? Classified ordinances. Ah, nice flying, Sally. That's what wing girls are for. You know, you can be my wingman anytime. Larry, you're flying toward a mountain. Oh crap. Dinner? Is that the sausage that hit your windshield? Five second rule. She likes me. I heard that. Definitely likes me.

Quick answer
How do you cut the acidity in tomato sauce?
Grate half a carrot into the sauce and simmer 20 minutes — its natural sugar balances the acid without tasting sweet. A tablespoon of butter stirred in at the end also rounds it. Use a pinch of sugar if you must, and baking soda only in tiny amounts, since it flattens the flavor.
