Cain: Maverick Admiral Cain was looking at Maverick's file thirty plus years of service, combat medals citations, only man to shoot down 3 enemy planes in the last 40 years distinguished distinguished distinguished he looked at him. yet you can't get a promotion you won't retire and despite your best efforts you refuse to die, you should be at least a two-star admiral by now if not a senator yet here you are...Captain, why is that?

Maverick: it's one of life's msteries sir. he attempted to joke but Cain wasn't having any of that.

Cain: this isn't a joke I asked you a question.

Maverick stopped for a second before he chose his next words to speak to the Admiral.

Maverick: I'm where I belong, sir he said adding the sir part.

Cain: well, the Navy doesn't see it that way not anymore, these planes you been testing Captain one day sooner than later they won't need pilots at all pilots that need to sleep eat take a piss he looked from his window and at him, pilots that disobeys orders all you did was buy some time for those men out there...the future is coming and you're not in it.

Maverick refused to accept that as he clutched his jaw.

Cain: escort this man off the base, take him to his quarters wait with him while he packs his gear I want him on the road to North Island within the hour he ordered the Military Police Officer.

Maverick widened his eyes his mouth hung open.

Maverick: North Island, sir? he asked.

Cain: call came with impeccable timing, right as I was driving here to ground your ass once and for all. he scoffed it galls me to say it but...for reasons known to the all mighty and guardian angel you've been called back to TOPGUN., he tells him.

Maverick was surprised.

Maverick: sir... he tries to say but the Admiral interrupts him.

Maverick walked to the door.

Cain: the end is inevitable Maverick, your kind's headed for extinction. he said telling him that the manned fighter era will soon be replaced with Drones.

Maverick stopped behind the door.

Maverick: maybe so sir, but not today.

he opened the door and closed it.

Cain watched the Captain leave and chuckled to himself.

Cain: Maverick.
