'I've made a major breakthrough.' 1.15am?!
'Yeah.' Doc, where have you BEEN? 'Working.' Where's Einstein? 'Here.'
Doc, you left your equipment on all week. 'What...?
'Oh, that reminds me, don't use the amplifier,

I'll keep that in mind(!)
'Good. I'll see you at 1.15am, Twin Pines Mall.' Right.

MUSIC: "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis And The News
# The power of love is a curious thing
# Make one man weep Make another man sing
# Change a hawk to a little white dove
# More than a feeling That's the power of love!
# You don't need money It don't take fame
# Don't need no credit card
to ride this train
# It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
# But it might just save your life
# That's the power of love
# That's the power of love... #
Oh, Jennifer... Strickland's after you. It's four tardies in a row.
Come on, I think we're safe.
It wasn't my fault. The Doc set all his clocks 25 minutes slow.
The Doc?! Are you still hanging around with Dr Emmet Brown, McFly?
A tardy slip for you, Miss Parker,
and one for you, McFly. That's four in a row.
Now here's some free advice. This "Doctor" Brown is a nutcase.
You could end up in big trouble. Oh, yes, sir(!)
You've got an attitude problem! You're a SLACKER!
Your father was a slacker, too.
Can I go now, Mr Strickland?
I notice your band is on the roster for the auditions after school.
Why bother? You don't have a chance!
No McFly EVER amounted to ANYTHING in the history of Hill Valley!
Well, history is gonna change.
Next, please!
OK...
All right...
We're the, er...The Pinheads.
< One, two, three...
OK, that's enough.
< I'm afraid you're too loud. Hold it!
I'm afraid you're too darn loud. Next, please!

I'll never get a chance to play in front of anybody.
It's only one rejection.
I don't think I'm cut out
for music. But you're really good!
Send your tape to a record company.
Doc says... "If you put your mind to it, you can do anything."
That's good advice, Marty.
What if they don't like the tape? What if they say I'm no good?
What if they say, "You've got no future"?
I couldn't take it! ..I sound like my old man.
He's not that bad. He's letting you borrow the car tomorrow night.
Check out that 4x4!
THAT is hot!
Some day, Jennifer. Some day.
Wouldn't it be great to take that truck up to the lake?
Throw a couple of sleeping bags in the back...
Lie out underneath the stars... Stop it!
What? Does your mom know... about tomorrow night?
My mom thinks I'm going camping with the guys.
My mother would freak out if she knew I was going with you.
She'd say SHE never did that kinda stuff. I think she was born a nun.
She wants to keep you respectable.
She's not doing a very good job. Terrible.
Save the clock tower! Mayor Wilson wants to replace that clock.
< 30 years ago, lightning struck that clock and it hasn't run since.
The Hill Valley Preservation Society think it should be preserved. Here.
A quarter. Thank you. Don't forget to take a flyer. Save the tower!
Where were we? Right about here. CAR HOOTS
It's my dad.
I'll call you tonight. I'll be at my grandma's. Here's the number...
Bye.
# That's the power of love!
# First time you feel it, It might make you sad
# Next time you feel it, It might make you mad
# But do be glad, baby, When you've found
# That's the power that makes the world go round
# It don't take money,
Don't take fame
# Don't need no credit card
To ride this train
# It's strong and it's sudden And it's cruel sometimes
# But it might just save your life... #
Perfect(!)
Just perfect.
How could you loan me your car
without telling me it had a blind spot? I could have been killed!
Now, now, Biff, I never noticed that car had any blind spot
when I drove it. Hi, son.
What, are you blind, McFly? How else do you explain that wreck?
Biff, can I...can I assume...
that your insurance is gonna pay? YOUR insurance should pay for it!
And who's gonna pay for this?
I spilled beer on it when that car smashed into me. Where's my reports?
Well, I haven't finished them yet but I figured...
Hello, hello? Anybody home? Think, McFly. THINK!
I gotta have time to get 'em typed.
If I handed in my reports in your handwriting, I'd get fired!
You wouldn't want that to happen, would you? Of course not, Biff.
I'll finish those reports tonight
and I'll run 'em over first thing, all right? Not too early.
Look, your shoe's untied... Oh!
Don't be so gullible, McFly. Got the place fixed up nice, though.
Hey, I got your car towed here and all you got for me is Lite Beer?
What are you lookin' at, Butthead?
Say hi to your mom for me.
I know what you're gonna say, son. And you're right... You're right.
But, er...Biff just happens to be my supervisor
and I'm afraid I'm just not very good at confrontations.
The CAR, Dad!
I mean, he WRECKED it! I needed that car tomorrow night, Dad.
Do you know how important this was to me? I know. All I can say is...
I'm sorry.
You're better off without having to worry about all the aggravation
and headaches playing at that dance. He's right, Marty.
The last thing you need is headaches.
Kids...we're gonna have to eat this cake by ourselves.
Your Uncle Joey didn't make parole again.
It'd be nice if you dropped him a line. Uncle Jailbird?!
He's YOUR brother, Mom!
It's embarrassing having an uncle in prison. We all make mistakes.
Dammit, I'm late! Watch your mouth! Come and kiss your mother first.
Aw, make it fast. I'll miss my bus.
See you later, Pop. It's time to change that oil!
Hey, Marty... >
I'm not your answering service. Jennifer Parker called you twice.
Any girl who calls a boy is asking for trouble.
What's wrong with calling a boy?
I think it's TERRIBLE. Girls chasing boys!
When I was your age, I never chased or called boys!
Then how am I supposed to ever MEET anybody?
Well, it'll just happen. Like the way I met your father.
That was stupid! Grandpa hit him with the car!
It was meant to be. Anyway...
if Grandpa hadn't hit him, none of you would have been born.
Well, why was Dad in the middle of the street? What WAS it, George?
Bird-watching? What, Lorraine?
Anyway, Grandpa hit him with the car and brought him in the house.
He seemed so helpless...
..Like a little lost puppy.
My heart went out to him. We know.
You felt sorry for him,
so you went with him to the Fish Under The Sea Dance.
No, it was the Enchantment Under The Sea dance. Our first date...
Remember that thunderstorm, George?
Your father kissed me for the very first time on that dance floor.
It was then that I realised...
that I was gonna spend the rest of my life with him.
HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER Oh, no!

Hello. 'Marty, you didn't fall asleep, did you?' No, Doc.
Uh, no, no...don't be silly. 'Listen, I forgot my video camera.
'Could you pick it up on your way?' Uh, yeah... Um...on my way.
Einstein! Where's the Doc, boy?
< A MOTOR STARTS UP
Doc!
Marty! You made it! Yeah..!
Welcome to my latest experiment! This is the big one!
It's a DeLorean...? Your questions will be answered. Roll tape. OK.
Doc, is that a Devo suit...? Never mind that now.
Good evening. I'm Dr Emmet Brown. I'm standing at Twin Pines Mall.
It's October 26th, 1985, 1.18am. This is experiment one.
Come on, Einstein! Get in there. In you go, come on!
Seat-belt on...that's it.
Hold it. OK.
Please note that Einstein's clock
is synchronised with my control watch. Got it?
Check, Doc. Good.
Have a good trip, Einstein. Watch your head!
You got that thing hooked up to the car? Watch this. Yeah.
Not me, the car!
If my calculations are correct,
when this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious shit.
Watch this! Watch this!
Ha! What did I tell you?!
88 MILES PER HOUR!!
The temporal displacement occurred at exactly 1.20am and zero seconds!
Jesus Christ, you disintegrated Einstein!
Calm down, Marty!
The molecular structure of both Einstein and the car
are still intact.
Then where the hell ARE they?! No. WHEN the hell are they?
Einstein has just become the world's first time-traveller!
I sent him into the FUTURE!!
One minute into the future.
At precisely 1.21am and zero seconds we shall catch up with him!
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
Are you telling me that you built a TIME machine...
out of a DeLorean?!
If you gonna build a time machine into a car, do it with STYLE!!
The steel made the flux dispersal... BEEPING
Look out!!
What, is it hot? It's cold!
Damn cold!
Aha, Einstein, you little devil!
Einstein's clock is exactly a minute behind mine and still ticking!
He's all right. He's fine!
As far as he's concerned the trip was instantaneous.
He skipped over a minute to arrive at this moment in time!
I'll show you how it works.
First, you turn the time circuits ON...
Where you're going, where you are, and where you were.
Say you wanna see the signing of the Declaration of Independence...
Or witness the birth of Christ.
Here's a red letter date - November 5th, 1955!
Yes, of course! November 5th, 1955! I don't get it. What happened?
HE LAUGHS It was when I invented time travel!
I was standing on my toilet hanging a clock, I slipped, hit my head,
and when I came to, I had a vision! A picture in my head, of THIS!
THIS makes time travel possible.
The flux capacitor! Flux capacitor?
It's taken 30 years to realise my vision! ..Has it been that long?
Things have certainly changed around here.
I remember when this was all farmland
as far as the eye could see.
Old man Peabody owned ALL of this.
He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees.
This is heavy-duty! This is great! Does it run on unleaded gasoline?
No, it needs something with more kick. Plutonium.
Plutonium? Do you mean this sucker is NUCLEAR?! Hey, keep rolling!
No, electric. A nuclear reaction makes 1.21 jigowatts of electricity.
Doc, you can't buy plutonium
from a store! Did you rip that off?
Yes! From some Libyan Nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb,
so I took their plutonium and gave them a box of pinball machine parts!
Come on, let's get you a radiation suit!
It's safe now. Everything is lead lined.
Don't lose those tapes now. I need that for the record.
Let's put it in here. There we go.
Oh! I almost forgot my luggage!
Who knows if they've got cotton underwear in the future.
The future? You're going there?
Yes! 25 years into the future.
I've always dreamed of seeing the future!
Why not! I'll also be able to see who wins the next 25 World Series.
Doc... Look me up when you get there.
Indeed I will. ..Roll 'em.
CLEARS THROAT
I, Dr Emmet Brown...
am about to embark on an historic journey.
..What am I thinking of?! I almost forgot to bring extra plutonium!
How did I ever expect to get back?! WOOF!! >
What is it, Einnie?
Oh, my God. They found me. I don't know how, but they found me.
Run for it, Marty! Who? Who? The Libyans!

But you're... You're so...
You're so...THIN!

Where are my pants?! Over there. On my hope chest.
I've never seen purple underwear, Calvin.
Why do you call me Calvin? Isn't that your name?
Calvin Klein? It's written on your underwear.
Oh, I guess they call you Cal. No, actually, people...call me Marty.
Oh. Pleased to meet you, Calvin...

Fine! No! Good! Fine! Good!
That's a big bruise you have there.

Quick! Put your pants back on!

Coastguard. Sam, here's the young man you hit. He's all right.
What were you DOING
in the middle of the street?
Oh, pay no attention to him!
Now, you already know Lorraine, this is Milton, Sally, Toby...
and over there is little baby Joey.
(So you're my Uncle Joey?)
(Better get used to these bars.)
Yes, Joey just LOVES
being in his playpen!
We leave him in there all the time.
Well, I hope you like meatloaf. Well, I was... Sit here, Marty.

What do you mean? It's brand-new.
I saw it on a...re-run.
What's a re-run?
You'll find out.
Marty, you look so familiar.
Do I know your mother? Yeah, I think maybe you do.
Well, I'll give her a call. You can't.
Er, that is...nobody... nobody's home.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh.
Er, where's Riverside Drive?
It's a block past Maple.
East end of town. That's John F Kennedy Drive...
Who the hell is John F Kennedy?
Mother...with Marty's parents out of town...
shouldn't he spend the night? After all, Dad almost killed him.
That's true, Marty. I think you should spend the night.
Well... He can sleep in my room.
I gotta go! Thanks very much. I'll see you all later.
Much later.
He's a very strange young man.
He's an idiot.
His parents are probably idiots too. Lorraine, you ever have a kid who acts that way, I'll disown you.
Doc! Don't say a word!
Doc!
I don't want to know your name! Doc, Doc, it's me, Marty! Don't tell me anything! Quiet!
I'm going to read your thoughts! ..You've come a great distance? Yes!
You want me to buy a subscription to the Saturday Evening Post? No...
Not a word! Not a word now! Quiet!
Er, donations... You want me to make a donation to the Coastguard Youth Auxiliary?
Doc...
I'm from the future. I came here in a time machine that YOU invented.
Now I need your help to get back to the year...1985.
My God!
Do you know what this means?
It means that this damn thing doesn't work at ALL!
Only YOU know how your time machine works!
(Time machine? I haven't invented any time machine.)
OK. All right. I'll prove it to you.
My driver's licence expires 1987. And my birthday - I haven't even been born yet!
Look at this picture of my sister. Her sweatshirt says "Class of 1984."
Mediocre fakery.
They cut off your brother's hair. I'm telling the truth, Doc!
Then tell me, "future boy", who's President of the United States in 1985?
Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan?! The actor?! Ha! Then who's Vice-President? Jerry Lewis(?)
So Jane Wyman is the First Lady(?) And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury(?)
Listen! I've had enough practical jokes for one evening! Goodnight!
Wait, Doc! The bruise on your head! I know how that happened!
You were standing on your toilet and you fell and hit your head.
That's when you thought of the flux capacitor, which is what makes time travel possible.
There's something wrong with the starter, so I hid it...here.
After I fell off my toilet... I drew this.
The flux capacitor!
It works!
It WORKS!!
I finally invented something that works!
You bet it works! We've got to sneak this back to my laboratory. We've gotta get you HOME!
OK, Doc, this is it.
'Never mind that now!'
Why, that's me! Look at me! I'm an old man!
'I'm standing at Twin Pines Mall.' Thank God I've still got my hair! But what am I wearing?
A radiation suit. Of course! Because of all the fallout from the atomic wars.
This...is truly amazing! A portable television studio!
No wonder your president's an actor. He's gotta look good on television. This is it!
'I need a nuclear reaction to make 1.21 jigowatts of electricity...' What did I just say?
'I need a nuclear reaction to make 1.21 jigowatts of electricity...'
1.21 jigowatts?!
1.21 jigowatts!!
My God!
What the hell is a jigowatt?!
How could I have been so careless? 1.21 jigowatts! How am I going to generate that kind of power?!
It can't be done! Doc, all we need is plutonium.
Ha! I'm sure in 1985, plutonium is available in every drugstore, but this is 1955!
Marty, I'm sorry, but you're stuck here.
I can't be stuck here! I got a life in 1985! I got a girl! Is she pretty?
Doc, she's beautiful. She's crazy about me. Look.
Look what she wrote here. That says it all.
Doc...you're my only hope.
Marty, the only power source capable of generating 1.21 jigowatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning.
What? A bolt of lightning! Unfortunately, you never know when it's going to strike.
We do now.
This is it!
THIS is the answer!
It says that a bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at 10.04pm next Saturday night!
If we could somehow... harness this lightning...
channel it into the flux capacitor...
it just might work!
Next Saturday night...we're sending you back to the FUTURE!!
OK. I can spend a week in 1955. You can show me round.
No, you must not leave this house! You must not see ANYBODY, or it may seriously affect future events!
Do you understand? ..Yeah. Sure. OK.
Marty, have you interacted with anyone else today, besides me?
Well...I might have sort of bumped into my parents... Great Scott! Let's see the photo of your brother.
Just as I thought! This proves my theory! Look at your brother.
His head's gone. Looks like it's been erased.
Erased from existence...
Whoa! They really cleaned this place up! It looks brand-new!
Remember, if your folks don't meet, they won't get married and have kids.
That's why your brother's disappearing from that photograph.
You'll be next! Sounds pretty heavy. Weight has nothing to do with it!
Which one's your Pop? That's him!
OK, you guys! Ha ha ha! Very funny! You guys are REAL mature!
Maybe you were adopted.
OK. Real mature, guys! Pick up my books! McFly!

Shape up, man! You're a slacker! You want to be a slacker for the rest of your life? No...

..Hit ME with the car! The Florence Nightingale Effect, when nurses fall for their patients. Go to it.
Hey, George! Buddy! I have been looking all over for you!
Remember me? I saved your life. Oh, yeah. There's somebody I'd like you to meet.
Lorraine? Calvin!
I'd like you to meet my good friend George McFly. Hi.
It's really a pleasure to meet you.
How's your head? Uh...good. Fine.
I've been so worried about you!
SCHOOL BELL
I'm sorry. I have to go.
Come on!
Isn't he a dreamboat?
Doc, she didn't even look at him! She's infatuated with YOU instead of your father!
Wait a minute, are you saying that my mother has got the hots for me?
Precisely! Whoa, this is heavy! There's that word again. Why are things so heavy in the future?
Is it the Earth's gravity? What?
You've got to get your parents to interact in some sort of social...
What, you mean like a date? Right! SCHOOL BELL
What kind of date? What do kids do in the '50s? They're your parents! What do they like to do together?
Nothing.
Look! A rhythmic ceremonial ritual! Of course! The dance! That's where they kiss for the first time! OK!
Make sure he takes her to that dance!
George! Buddy! Remember that girl I introduced you to? Lorraine?
What are you writing? Uh...stories.
Science fiction stories about, uh, visitors
coming down to Earth from other planets.
Get out of town! I didn't know you did anything creative! Let me see!
Oh, no, no, no, no. I never let anybody read my stories.
Why? What if they didn't like them? What if they said I was no good?
I guess that's hard for somebody to understand.
Uh, no. No, not hard at all. So, anyway, George...
That Lorraine, she really likes you!
She told me to tell you that she wants you to ask her to the dance.
Really? Oh, yeah! All you gotta do is go over there and ask her.
What? Right here? What if she said no? I couldn't take the rejection!
Besides, I think she'd rather go with somebody else.
Uh...who?
Biff.
I'm going to leave!
You want it! You know you want it! You shut your filthy mouth!
I'm not that kind of girl! Oh, no?
Get your meat-hooks off of me! Right! Get your meat-hooks...
..off...
Er, please. What's it to YOU, butt-head?
You been looking for a fight!
Since you're new here, I'll cut you a break.
Today. So why don't you make like a tree...
and get out of here?
George! Why do you keep following me around? Look, George!
If you do not ask Lorraine to that dance, I'll regret it for the rest of my life! But I can't go!
I'll miss my favourite TV show, Science Fiction Theater. But she WANTS to go with you!
I'm not ready to ask Lorraine out.
And not you, nor anybody else on this planet, is going to make me change my mind!

I need your help. I have to ask Lorraine out but I don't know how!
Keep your pants on. God! How do you open these?
What made you change your mind? Darth Vader came down from Vulcan
and said if I didn't take her out he would melt my brain. Yeah? Er...
Let's keep the brain-melting thing between us. Oh, yeah! There she is.
What do I say? Just say the first thing that comes into your mind.
Nothing's coming to my mind. It's a wonder I was even born!
What? What? Nothing. Look, tell her destiny brought you together.
Tell her she is the most beautiful girl you've ever seen in the world.
What are you doing? Writing it down. It's good stuff. OK... Let's go.
JUKEBOX PLAYING
Lou...give me a milk. Chocolate!
Lorraine...my density has popped me to you.
What?
Oh...what I meant to say...
Wait a minute, don't I know you?
Yes! I'm George. George McFly. I'm your density.
I mean...
..your destiny.
Ohhh!
Hey, McFly!
I thought I told you never to come in here.
Well, it's going to cost you. How much money you got on you? Well...how much do you want, Biff?
OK, punk...! Whoa, Biff! What's that?
That's Calvin Klein. He's a dream!
Whoa! Whoa! Kid! Kid! Stop! Stop! Stop! Hey!
I'll get it back to you, all right?
You broke it!
Wow!
Get him!
A board with wheels!
He's an absolute dream!
I'm going to ram him.
Thanks a lot, kid!
I'm going to get that son of a bitch!
Where does he come from?
Yeah, where does he live?
I don't know, but I'll find out!
DOC BROWN ON TAPE: 'They found me. Run for it, Marty!
'Oh, my God. They found me.
'Run for it, Marty!'
Doc? Oh, hi, Marty. I didn't hear you come in.
Fascinating device, this video unit.
Listen, Doc, there's something I haven't told you about that tape.
Don't tell me! No man should know his own destiny!
But... I could endanger my own existence, just like you have!
You're right. Now. Let me show you my plan for sending you home.
Excuse the model. I didn't have time to paint it. It's good. Oh, thank you.
Now, we run some electrical cable
from the clock tower and down between these two lampposts.
Meanwhile, we've outfitted the time vehicle with this big hook which runs into the flux capacitor.
At the calculated moment, you start driving,
accelerating to 88 miles per hour.
According to the flyer, at 10.04pm this Saturday, lightning will strike the tower, electrifying the cable.
The hook touches the cable, sending 1.21 jigowatts to the flux capacitor
and sending you back to 1985! Now watch.
Wind up the car.
I'll simulate the lightning.
Ready...
Set...
Release!
You really give me confidence, Doc. I'll take care of it. You take care of your pop.
Did he ask her out? Yeah, I think so.
What did she say?
KNOCK AT DOOR
It's your mom!
Let's cover the time machine!
Hi, Mar... Calv... Marty. Mom...er, Lorraine...
Uh, how did you know I was here? I followed you.
Oh, this is my Doc. Eh...uncle. Doc...Brown.
Hi. Hi!
Marty, this may seem a little forward...
but I was kind of wondering if... you'd ask me to the...Enchantment under the Sea Dance on Saturday.
Uh, you mean...nobody's asked you?
No... Not yet.
What about...what about George? George McFly?
Ohhh... He's kind of cute, and all,
but not...
Well...I think a man should be strong.
So he can stand up for himself
and protect the woman he loves.
Don't you? ..Yeah!
I still don't understand how I can go to the dance with her if she's already going with YOU!
Because she WANTS to go with you! She just doesn't know it yet!
That's why we gotta show her that you, George McFly, are a fighter. I never picked a fight in my life.
You're not picking a fight, Dad! Eh...Dad...dad...daddio! You're rescuing her!
Let's go over the plan. 8.55 - where are you? At the dance.
Where am I? In the car. With her.
Now, right around 9.00, she's going to get very angry with me. Why?
Well, because nice girls get angry when guys take advantage of them.
Ohhh! You mean you're going to go touch her on her...? No.
George, it's just an act, right?
OK! So, 9.00, you're strolling through the parking lot.
You see us struggling in the car. You open the door, and you say...
..your line, George!
Oh! Hey, you! Get your damn hands off her!
Do you really think I should swear?
Yes, definitely. Goddamn it, George, swear.
OK. You punch me in the stomach. I'm out for the count, right?
You two live happily ever after! You make it sound so easy.
I wish I wasn't so scared! You just need confidence. You know,
if you put your mind to it, you can do anything.
RADIO: 'Mostly clear but scattered clouds.'
Are you sure about this storm? Since when can weathermen predict the weather, let alone the future!
You know, Marty, I'm going to be very sad to see you go.
You've really changed my life. Knowing that I'm going to see 1985!
I'm going to succeed and travel through time!
It's going to be really hard waiting 30 years to talk to you again.
I'm really going to miss you, Marty. I'm really going to miss YOU.
Doc, about the future... No! We agreed! Having knowledge about the future is extremely dangerous.
Even if your intentions are good!
Whatever you've got to tell me I'll find out when I'm meant to.
"Dear Dr Brown, on the night that I go back in time
"you will be... shot by terrorists.
"Please take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this terrible disaster.
"Your friend...
"Marty."
Evening, Dr Brown.
What's with the wire?
Oh...a little weather experiment.
What's under here?
Don't touch that!
It's very sensitive equipment!
Got a permit for that?
Of course I do.
It's here somewhere....

Do you mind if we, uh...park for a while?
That's a great idea. I'd love to park. Huh?
I'm almost 18. It's not like I've never parked!
What?!
Marty, you seem so nervous. Is something wrong? No!
No...
Lorraine! What is that? I swiped it from the old lady's liquor cabinet! Well, you shouldn't drink.
Why not? Because you're my... You might regret it.
Later in life. Don't be so square!
EVERYBODY drinks.
You SMOKE too? Marty, you're beginning to sound like my mother!
BAND WINDS UP NUMBER
We're just taking a little break, so don't nobody go nowhere!
Marty...why are you so nervous?
Lorraine...
Have you ever been in a situation where you knew you had to act a certain way
but you didn't know if you could do it?
You mean like how to act on a date?
Uh...sort of. I think I know exactly what you mean. You do?
You know what I do in those situations? What?
I don't worry!
This is all wrong. I don't know what it is...
but when I kiss you, it's like I'm kissing... my brother.
I guess that doesn't make sense.
Believe me, it makes perfect sense. Somebody's coming.
You caused $300 damage to my car, you son of a bitch!
I'm going to take it out of your ass!
Let him go, Biff!
Well, lookee what we have here!
No, no! You're staying right here with me! Leave her alone, you bastard!
Take him in back. I'll be right there.
Well, go on! This ain't no peep show!
Put him in there! That's for messing up my hair!
- What are you doing to my car? - Beat it, spook!
Who are you calling "spook", peckerwood?
Hey, listen, reefer addicts...
Get home to your momma, boy!
Let me out of here! Yo!
Where are the keys?
The keys are in the trunk. What?
They're in here!
Hey, you. Get your damn hands off...
Ohhh...
You got the wrong car, McFly.
George! Help me! Turn around, McFly.
And walk away.
Are you deaf, McFly? Beat it.
No, Biff. You leave her alone.
All right, McFly.
You're asking for it. And now you're going to get it.
Oww! Biff, stop it! Biff, you'll break his arm!
Give me a hand here, Reginald. Ow! Damn it! I sliced my hand!
Whose are these? Mine. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
You'll break his arm! Biff!
Leave him alone! Let him go!
Are you OK?
Who IS that guy?
That's George McFly!
THAT'S George McFly?
Excuse me...
THUNDER
The storm!
You gotta get back to the dance! Look at Marvin's hand! He can't play like that!
Look, Marvin. You gotta play. See, they kiss on the dance floor.
If they can't kiss, they can't fall in love! Man, it's over!
Unless you know somebody who can play the guitar.
This is for all you young lovers.
# Earth Angel! Earth Angel! Will you be mine? #
George, aren't you going to kiss me? I don't know.
Scram, McFly! I'm cutting in!

Well, it's...it's an oldie where I come from.
OK, this is a blues riff in B. Watch me and try to keep up.

# Down in Louisiana in New Orleans
# In the woods among the evergreens

Nice going!

BACKUP MUSIC STOPS IN BEWILDERMENT
I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids'll love it!
Lorraine! Marty, that was very interesting music. Uh, yeah.
I hope you don't mind if George takes me home. Great!
I had a feeling about you two! I have a feeling too.
Listen, I gotta go, but I wanted to tell you it's been...educational.
Marty, will we ever see you again?
I guarantee it.
Marty, thank you for all your good advice. I'll never forget it. Right, George.
Well, uh... Good luck, you guys.
Oh! One other thing.
If you guys ever have kids and one of them, when he's eight years old,
sets fire to the living-room rug... go easy on him.
OK!
Right.
Marty. That's such a nice name.
Damn! Where is that kid?
Damn!
Damn! Damn!
You're late! Have you no concept of time? I had to change! You think I'm going back in that zoot suit?
The old man really came through. What? He laid out Biff! He never stood up to Biff in his life!
Ever? No! Why? What's the matter?
All right! Let's set your destination time!
This is the exact time you left.
Let's send you back at exactly the same time.
It'll be like you never left. Now, I painted a white line on the street
way over there! That's where you start from.
I calculated the acceleration taking into account wind resistance at the moment the lightning strikes,
which will be in exactly 7 minutes and 22 seconds.
When this alarm goes off, hit the gas. Right.
Well, I guess that's everything.
Thanks.
Thank YOU.
See you in about 30 years.
I hope so.
Don't worry! As long as you hit that wire
at precisely 88 miles per hour at the instant the lightning strikes,
..everything will be fine!
Right.
What's the meaning of this? You'll find out in 30 years.
It's about the future, isn't it? It's information! Wait a minute! I warned you!
The consequence could be disaster! That's a risk you have to take!
Your life depends on it! No!
I won't accept the responsibility!
Then I'll tell you straight out! CRASH!
Great Scott!
You get the cable, I'll throw the rope down to you! Right!
Eeeek! Doc!
Let's go! All right! Take it up!
Go!
Doc! What?
I gotta tell you about the future!
What? I have to tell you...

Well...how can I go to the lake? The car's wrecked.
What? Wrecked?! When did that happen?
Calm down. I'm sure the car's fine.

There's Biff waxing it. Now, Biff!
We want two coats of wax this time. I'm just doing the second coat now.
Now, Biff. Don't con me. I'm sorry, Mr McFly. I meant I was just STARTING on the second coat!
What a character! Always trying to get away with something!

But without him... We never would have fallen in love.

How about a ride, mister? Jennifer! Am I glad to see you!
Let me look at you. Marty, you're acting like you haven't seen me in a week! I haven't.
Are you OK? Is everything all right?
Oh, yeah.
Everything is great!
