Maverick rides by Charlie's place, but the "For Rent" sign shows that she's already checked out.
Maverick is flustered, and leaves her place.
In the next frame, he's sitting on his motorcycle, watching an F-14 land.
It's just becoming night.
He's pondering.
Scene 38
This is clearly the Top Gun graduation ceremony. It's by a pool somewhere. People are clapping.
Jester starts to talk about Top Gun. Some of the guys are wondering about Maverick.
In the next shot, the celebration has already started. Maverick shows up, and congratulates Iceman and Slider.
Viper interrupts to let them know that there is a crisis situation and some of the guys need to leave immediately: Ice, Slider, Hollywood, Wolfman, and Maverick.
Viper lets Maverick know that he'll get his flying partner (RIO) when he gets to the aircraft carrier.
If he doesn't, though, he can call Viper, and he'll fly with him.
That's a big deal. The big, bad Viper will fly with Maverick.
