　　CHARLIE
　　You don’’t believe any of this. You don’’t think you’’ll ever die.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　That’’s it， of course. When I’’m up there and doing it， I’’m cheating it every second. I’’m subverting all laws…… gravity…… whatever. I’’m skating the edge of it.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Winston Churchill.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　What？
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　What he said…… "There’’s nothing so exhilarating as being shot at without result."
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　All you’’ve got is one life. I guess it’’s worth about the same to every body. You ever see an old woman after her husband has died？ And the meaningless years of decline stretch ahead…… When you’’re in the air and doing something really dangerous， you can look ahead…… maybe ten seconds. That’’s your whole future. That’’s as far as it goes. But imagine what those seconds are worth.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　What if you kill yourself？ Think of everything you’’ll miss.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　There is lots of stuff I don’’t know about…… Fine wine…… great art…… the opera. I guess if I live long enough， I’’ll get to it. If I don’’t， I’’ll never miss it.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Are you really that brave？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　（shakes his head no）
　　I watched my mother die. Cancer. She had a long time to think about it. They say you reach an agreement with death. Come to accept the fact that pretty soon you won’’t be here. I didn’’t see that. She…… was very brave…… braver than I am. You go up there， there isn’’t time to think. If you make a mistake， you’’re just a smudge on the ground. Simplifies funeral arrangements.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　It’’s just as I thought.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　What？
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　You’’re totally insane.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　（he smiles）
　　Thanks very much.
　　（he lifts the fish）
　　Care for some suchi？.
　　
　　THE OTHER END OF THE BEACH – LATER
　　
　　A killer volleyball game in progress. Maverick and Charlie wander toward it， talking softly to themselves. Goose runs up and grabs him away.
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Come on， we’’re next.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　What？
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Come on， I got over six bucks on the line.
　　
　　Maverick looks up and sees the other two-man team， the victors， waiting on the other side of the net for them. Of course it had to be Ice and Slider. Charlie sits and watches as the game gets immediately out of hand. In moments， Maverick and Ice rotate to forward positions directly opposite each other across the net. Other revelers turn to watch as it degenerates to more than a game. Maverick glances at Charlie. He seems uncomfortable， but irrevocably drawn into the confrontation. She says nothing， but her attitude is apparent. Back to the game: Slider and Goose set them up， as they try to spike the ball in each other’’s face. The final point…… up over the middle. They both go up， Maverick smashes， Ice blocks， but the ball sails away， off his forearm. For the first time ever， Maverick beats him. He looks over at Charlie， she is staring out to sea. She looks back at him and he’’s suddenly had enough competition. They call for another game， but Maverick turns away……
　　
　　GOOSE
　　Come on， come on! It’’s double or nothing…… We’’re talking twelve bucks American， here.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I’’ve had enough…… for now.
　　
　　He grabs Charlie and his gear.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Come on.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Where？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　You want to go ballistic？
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　I don’’t know. I don’’t like being out of control.
　　
　　He looks back at Ice， bouncing the ball and staring at him.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Stick with me， you’’ll get used to it.
　　
　　EXT. DESERT
　　
　　The Bike doing 130， 140， 150 mph. Charlie is unfazed. He turns to check her out， she smiles back at him.

　　EXT. RUSTIC ADOBE CANTINA – SUNSET

　　MONTAGE ON LOCKED OFF CAMERA
　　
　　To show the passage of time…… the latticed terrace， streaks of light. Maverick is feeding a dog. Charlie sits on a rail watching him.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I always wanted to fly…… ever since I first saw a jet. I wanted to fly jets， then I wanted F-14’’s， then I wanted to fly off carriers， then I wanted Top Gun.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　And now？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　And now I want you.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　You always get what you want？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I don’’t know yet.
　　
　　He puts money in jukebox. She watches him…… eye to eye contact. The music comes on.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　I want it understood.
