　　Grabbing the suitcase， Maverick brushes past Jester and walks up the corridor. Jester and Fungus watch him go. Fungus goes to the phone.
　　
　　EXT. SAN DIEGO AIRPORT – NIGHT
　　
　　Charlie parks her car， jumps out， and runs toward the main entrance to the terminal.
　　
　　INT. TERMINAL
　　
　　Charlie hurries through the crowd， bumping past people， searching frantically for Maverick in the huge terminal. She moves past bench after bench， and her eyes flick in all directions. A quick glance at the souvenir shop， the coffee shop， and then she heads for the bar.
　　
　　Maverick is there， sitting alone in a booth with his suitcase beside him， staring into a drink. Charlie composes herself， then walks to the booth and sits down across the table from him. Maverick does not look pleased.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Never liked fighter pilots anyway.
　　
　　He looks up trying to be angry， but he can’’t help it， she makes him laugh.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　You came to the right place.
　　
　　The waitress comes up.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　What are you having？
　　
　　Turns to the waitress.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　I’’ll have what he’’s having…… Hemlock， is it？
　　
　　The waitress departs. He tries not to smile， but can’’t help it.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　You weren’’t gonna say goodbye？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I was， later.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Long distance？ I wouldn’’t do that to you. I’’d at least talk to you.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I didn’’t want to see you. I mean， I did…… but I didn’’t……
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　I know exactly what you mean.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　How could you？
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　I’’ve got a gift just like you do. My gift is I just know what people mean， even if they can’’t say it. It helps when you’’re trying to communicate with fighter pilots. Like what you just said was "I’’m embarrassed， I feel I’’ve done something wrong， that I’’ve failed， and I don’’t think I can live up to the expectations of a wonderful interesting， intelligent woman like yourself." That about it？
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　（laughs）
　　…… Something like that.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　And I’’m gonna sneak off， and be by myself for awhile， like until I can think of a new career…… hotel management or something……
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Big talk for someone who’’s never been shot off her computer.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　Hey， I never said I was a fighter pilot…… I never claimed to think it was fun to be shot off the end of a ship in a storm. I can find contentment in a good book. I don’’t have to roar by someone at Mach two with my hair on fire. Sometimes…… I just get happy being with the right man.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I hope you find him.
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　I think I have…… I could be wrong. I have been before. Just remember one thing. If you’’re not Top Gun， if you’’re not fighting jets， you’’re not gonna be able to act like a fighter pilot…… You’’re gonna have to act like the rest of us. You’’re gonna have to master humility. For you guys， that’’s the toughest maneuver of all.
　　
　　She gets up…… lays a bill out for the drinks……
　　
　　CHARLIE
　　So long， Sailor. See you on the beach sometime.
　　
　　She swings away. Her wake sucks in the stares of every man in the place. Then they look over to Maverick， quick flicks of envy in their eyes. He stares them back and can’’t quite meet their eyes.
　　
　　EXT. BEACH AT VIPER’’S HOUSE – LATER
　　
　　Viper is tugged down the beach by a three year old kid. They come across one creature who’’s had a bad night…… Viper spots him， he spots Viper， and Viper moves toward him. Tim， Viper’’s kid， wants to head for the sea and pulls his father in that direction. He stops， puts his hand on his hips like he’’s seen the pilots do.
　　
　　TIM
　　Dad…… Of all the animals in the ocean， which one’’s the baddest？
　　
　　VIPER
　　I don’’t know， Tim. You’’ll have to ask them.
　　
　　Viper turns to the creature， Maverick， and shrugs.
　　
　　VIPER
　　Runs in the family……
　　
　　Maverick stands up.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Skipper， sorry to bother you.
　　
　　VIPER
　　No bother.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　I called your house.
　　
　　VIPER
　　My wife’’s house.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　She said you took your kid to the each. Every second Sunday. Zoo or beach or the ballgame. Y’’have the option……
　　（Maverick thinks for a beat， segues to the question……）
　　What about me？
　　
　　Viper turns， they stroll together.
　　
　　VIPER
　　We can send you back to your squadron with nothing noted on your record except "CNC" – course not completed， no explanation required. Theoretically， it doesn’’t hurt your career， but people always wonder about things like that.
　　
　　MAVERICK
　　Or……
