💬 Back to the Future (1985)

A block past Maple. That's John F. Kennedy Drive.

A Libyan terrorist group had claimed responsibility for the alleged theft.

A portable television studio.

A vision. A picture in my head. A picture of this.

About 30 years. It's a nice round number.

According to the flyer, at precisely 10:04 p.m. This Saturday night...

Actually, I figured since it wasn't due 'til Monday...

After all, Dad almost killed him with the car.

All right, come on. I think we're safe.

All right, listen, this is a blues riff in B.

All right, McFly.

All right, this is an oldie, but...

All right!

All right.

All right. Fred.

All right. What if I send in the tape and they don't like it?

All you got to do is go over there and ask her.

All your questions will be answered. Roll tape and we'll proceed.

ALL: Shit!

Almost forgot my luggage.

Always trying to get away with something.

Am I to understand you're still hanging around with Dr. Emmett Brown, McFly?

And look at this picture.

ANNOUNCER: Hill Valley weather this Saturday night.

ANNOUNCER: October is inventory time.

ANNOUNCER: Re elect Mayor Goldie Wilson.

ANNOUNCER: Remember, fellow citizens, the future is in your hands.

Any girl who calls up a boy is just asking for trouble.

Anything you do can have repercussions on future events. Do you understand?

Anyway, your Grandpa hit him with the car...

Anyway...

Are you a sight for sore eyes.

Are you okay?

Are you sure about this storm?

Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?

Are you telling me that you built a time machine...

Are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me?

Aren't you going up to the lake? You've been planning it for two weeks.

As far as he's concerned, the trip was instantaneous.

As long as you hit that wire...

At the calculated moment...

Bastards!

Believe me...

Besides, I think she'd rather go with somebody else.

Besides, the stainless steel construction made the flux dispersal...

Better get used to these bars, kid.

Biff just happens to be my supervisor...

Biff, you'll break his arm!

BIFF: [Muffled] Come on!

BIFF: Are you blind, McFly?

BIFF: Close the door and beat it.

BIFF: How about my homework, McFly?

BIFF: I can't believe you'd loan me your car...

BIFF: I'm going to ram him.

BIFF: McFly.

BIFF: To the car! Go!

BIFF: You know you want it.

Biff! Biff, leave him alone!

Biff.

Biff. What a character.

Both you and Jennifer turn out fine. It's your kids, Marty.

BOY: Shoot it, Pa!

BOY: Wait!

BOY: You broke it!

Breakfast.

Bulletproof vest?

But the car, Dad.

But...

By the way...

Calm down. I didn't disintegrate anything.

Calvin? Why do you keep calling me Calvin?

Can I go now, Mr. Strickland?

Can you pick it up at my place on your way to the mall?

Check out that 4x4.

Chocolate.

Chuck! Chuck, it's Marvin.

Come back here!

Come on, man. Let's do something that really cooks.

Come on, Mom. Make it fast. I'll miss my bus.

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Move! Goddamn it!

Come on.

Come on. Come on. Not this time.

Come out here! Help me take him in the house!

Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots, too.

Crazy drunk driver.

Dad dad daddy o.

Dad!

Damn it, man! I sliced my hand!

Damn!

Damn! Damn!

Damn! Where is that kid?

DAVID: Did you sleep in your clothes again?

DAVID: Goddamn it. I'm late.

DAVID: Linda, I'm not your answering service...

DAVID: You all right? MARTY: Yeah.

Did you rip that off?

Do I know your mother?

Do not hook up to the amplifier. There's a slight possibility of overload.

Do you have a television?

Do you have any idea how important this was to me?

Do you know what this means?

Do you know where Riverside Drive is?

Do you mind if we...

Do you want to be a slacker for the rest of your life?

DOC ON TV: My God.

DOC ON TV: Never mind that now.

Doc, she's beautiful.

Doc, stuck here? I can't be stuck here.

Doc, that's a risk you're going to have to take.

Doc, you're my only hope.

DOC: 1:15 a.m., Twin Pines Mall. MARTY: Right.

DOC: According to my theory, you interfered with your parents' first meeting.

DOC: After I fell off my toilet...

DOC: All right, now. Watch this. You wind up the car and release it.

DOC: And Jack Benny is treasury secretary.

DOC: Bring her along. This concerns her, too.

DOC: Come on, come on. Let's go! MARTY: All right! Take it up!

DOC: Come on, Einie. Get in there.

DOC: Come on. Let's get you a radiation suit. MARTY: Jesus!

DOC: Don't lose those tapes now.

DOC: Don't tell me anything.

DOC: Everything will be fine. MARTY: Right.

DOC: Good. I'll see you tonight. Don't forget.

DOC: Got it? MARTY: Right. Check, Doc.

DOC: Great Scott!

DOC: Have a good trip, Einstein. Watch your head.

DOC: I sent him into the future.

DOC: I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady. MARTY: Wait, Doc!

DOC: I'm sure that in 1985 plutonium is available in every corner drugstore...

DOC: Information about the future. MARTY: Wait a minute.

DOC: Just a second. Let me see if I can find it here.

DOC: Listen, this is very important. I forgot my video camera.

DOC: Look! There's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up.

DOC: Marty, you didn't fall asleep, did you? MARTY: Doc.

DOC: My equipment. That reminds me, Marty.

DOC: No names. I want to know nothing about you.

DOC: Not now. MARTY: I'm ready.

DOC: Or witness the birth of Christ.

DOC: Perfect! My experiment worked!

DOC: Precisely. MARTY: Damn!

DOC: Run for it, Marty! MARTY: Who?

DOC: This is the exact time you left.

DOC: This tells you where you're going, this where you are and this where you were.

DOC: Watch this. MARTY: Yeah. Okay.

DOC: What? MARTY: I have to tell you about the future!

DOC: Why, that's me! Look at me!

DOC: Yeah!

DOC: You want me to subscribe to the Saturday Evening Post.

Doc!

Doc?

Doc.

Doc. Where are you?

Doc...

Does your mom know? About tomorrow night?

Don't be so gullible, McFly.

Don't look!

Don't pay attention to him. He's in one of his moods.

Don't say a word.

Don't worry!

Don't worry. I'll take care of ideas. You take care of your pop.

Don't you?

Donations.

Dork thinks he's going to drown.

Einstein has just become the world's first time traveler.

Einstein, come here, boy.

Einstein, you little devil!

Einstein! Where's the doc, boy?

Einstein's clock is exactly one minute behind mine and still ticking!

Engine running. All right.

Erased from existence.

Even if your intentions are good, it can backfire drastically.

Everything is great.

Excuse me.

Fascinating device, this video unit.

First, you turn the time circuits on.

Flux capacitor?

George, help me! Please!

George, I heard you laid out Biff. Nice going.

George, I'm telling you, if you do not ask Lorraine to that dance...

GEORGE: Biff. Guys. How are you doing? BIFF: You got my homework finished?

GEORGE: How much do you want, Biff?

GEORGE: Lorraine.

GEORGE: Okay, pick up my books. STRICKLAND: McFly.

GEORGE: Okay, real mature, guys.

GEORGE: Why do you keep following me?

GEORGE: Yes.

George!

Get him!

Get out of town! I didn't know you did anything creative.

Girls like that stuff.

Give her a break.

Give me a Tab.

Go ahead. Quick! Get in the car.

Go to it, kid.

Go!

God! How do you...?

Goddamn it, George, swear.

GOLDIE: I'll do something. I'll go to night school.

Good evening. I'm Dr. Emmett Brown. I'm in the Twin Pines Mall parking lot.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

Good. You can start by sweeping the floor.

Got a permit for that?

Great Scott!

Great! Good. Good, Lorraine. I had a feeling about you two.

Guess I'll be about 47.

Guys, you got to get back in there and finish the dance.

Hang around with him, you'll end up in big trouble.

He can't play with this hand, and we can't play without him.

He cries whenever we take him out, so we leave him in there all the time.

He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees.

He laid out Biff in one punch.

He seemed so helpless.

He skipped over that minute to instantly arrive at this moment in time.

He's a peeping Tom!

He's a very strange young man.

He's an absolute dream.

He's an idiot.

He's completely unaware that anything happened.

He's kind of cute and all, but not...

He's your brother, Mom.

Hello! Anybody home?

Hello? Hello? Anybody home?

Hello.

Here, let me give you the number.

Hey you, get your damn hands off...

Hey, boy, you all right?

Hey, come on. I had to change.

Hey, Dad! George! Hey, you on the bike!

Hi, Cal... Marty.

Hi, Marty. I didn't hear you come in.

Hi, Marty. I think it's your new book.

Hi, son.

Hi. It's really a pleasure to meet you.

Hold him.

Hold it, fellas.

Honey, he's teasing you. Nobody has two television sets.

Honey! Your first novel.

How am I supposed to go to the dance with her...

How could I have been so careless?

How did you know I was here?

How did you know?

How do I expect to get back? One pellet, one trip.

How else do you explain that wreck out there?

I almost forgot to bring extra plutonium.

I am an extraterrestrial from the planet Vulcan.

I came here in a time machine that you invented.

I can spend a week in 1955. I can hang out. You can show me around.

I can't give you a tab unless you order something.

I can't play.

I can't take that kind of rejection.

I could've been killed.

I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it.

I didn't know he had it in him. He's never stood up to Biff in his life.

I don't know what it is...

I don't know.

I don't know...

I don't understand what Dad was doing in the middle of the street.

I dreamed that I went back in time.

I followed you.

I got a life in 1985.

I got to have time to get them retyped.

I got to have time to recopy it.

I guarantee it.

I guess she felt sorry for him 'cause her dad hit him with the car.

I guess that doesn't make any sense, does it?

I guess that would be pretty hard for somebody to understand.

I guess they call you Cal, huh?

I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet...

I had a horrible nightmare.

I have a feeling, too.

I have been looking all over for you.

I have to ask Lorraine out, but I don't know how to do it.

I have your car towed to your house...

I haven't finished those up yet, but I figured since they weren't due 'til...

I haven't invented any time machine.

I haven't.

I hope so.

I hope you don't mind, but George asked if he could take me home.

I just don't think I'm cut out for music.

I know what you're going to say, son...

I like the sound of that.

I made a breakthrough. I'll need your assistance.

I meant I was just starting on the second coat.

I must be out of my mind.

I need fuel.

I need that as a record.

I needed that car tomorrow night, Dad.

I never got a chance to tell you.

I overslept. I need your help.

I refuse to accept the responsibility.

I remember it vividly.

I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eye could see.

I spilled beer when the car smashed into me. Who'll pay my cleaning bill?

I still don't understand.

I still got time. I'm coming, Doc!

I sure like her. She is such a sweet girl.

I swiped it from the old lady's liquor cabinet.

I think a man should be strong...

I think I know exactly what you mean.

I think it's terrible. Girls chasing boys.

I think you got the wrong car, McFly.

I think you should spend the night. I think you're our responsibility.

I thought I told you never to come in here.

I took the plutonium and gave them a bomb casing full of pinball machine parts.

I want to use the phone.

I warned you about this, kid.

I will.

I'd get the standard lecture about...

I'll also be able to see who wins the next 25 World Series.

I'll be at my grandma's.

I'll be the most powerful man in Hill Valley...

I'll draw their fire!

I'll finish that up tonight and then I'll bring it over first thing tomorrow morning.

I'll get fired.

I'll get kicked out of school.

I'll miss my favorite TV program, Science Fiction Theatre.

I'll show you how it works.

I'll simulate the lightning.

I'm afraid you're just too darn loud.

I'm almost 18 years old. It's not like I've never parked before.

I'm going to be at the dance.

I'm going to get that son of a bitch.

I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to read your thoughts.

I'm in the Twin Pines Mall parking lot.

I'm just not ready to ask Lorraine out to the dance...

I'm late for school.

I'm not your answering service.

I'm out for the count, right?

I'm really going to miss you, Marty.

I'm sorry, Mr. McFly.

I'm sorry.

I'm starting to sound like my old man.

I'm talking to you, McFly, you Irish bug!

I'm telling the truth. You got to believe me.

I'm your density.

I've been worried about you ever since you ran off the other night.

I've had to stay on top of Biff ever since high school.

I've never seen purple underwear before, Calvin.

I've seen this one. This is a classic.

If I know too much I endanger my own existence...

If my calculations are correct...

If they can't dance and kiss, then they can't fall in love and I'm history.

If they don't meet, they won't fall in love, get married or have kids.

If we could somehow harness this lightning...

If you believe in progress, re elect Mayor Red Thomas.

If you get caught, it'll be four tardies in a row.

If you guys ever have kids...

If you let people walk over you now, they'll walk over you the rest of your life.

If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

In you go. Sit down.

Indeed I will. Roll 'em.

Input your destination time on this keypad.

Is everything all right?

Isn't he a dreamboat?

Isn't tonight the night of the big date?

It can't be done, can it?

It can't be.

It happens in hospitals when nurses fall in love with their patients.

It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all!

It was meant to be.

It was terrible.

It was the night of that terrible thunderstorm, remember, George?

It was then that I realized...

It works!

It would be nice if you all dropped him a line.

It's about the future, isn't it?

It's already mutated into human form! Shoot it!

It's going to be hard waiting 30 years to talk to you...

It's in the back.

It's my dad. I've got to go.

It's on the other end of town. A block past Maple. East end of town.

It's safe now. Everything's lead lined.

It's Saturday morning, October 26, 1985, 1:18 a.m.

It's taken almost 30 years and my family fortune to realize the vision of that day.

It's written all over your underwear.

It's your mom! She's tracked you down! Quick! Let's cover the time machine.

Jeez, you smoke too?

JENNIFER: Right about here. MAN: Jennifer!

Jesus Christ, Doc! You disintegrated Einstein!

Jesus Christ!

Jesus!

Jesus. It's a wonder I was even born.

Just a little weather experiment.

Just a very intense dream.

Just admit that you want it. Come on.

Just as I thought. This proves my theory. Look at your brother.

Just give me something without any sugar in it, okay?

Just go in there and invite her.

Just knowing that I'm going to be around to see 1985.

Just relax, Calvin. You got a big bruise on your head.

Keep rolling there.

Keep your pants on. She's over in the cafe.

Keys?

Kid! Kid, stop! Stop!

Kids, we're going to have to eat this cake by ourselves.

Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan...

Let him go! Let him go!

Let me give you a nickel's worth of free advice, young man.

Let's go over the plan again. 8:55, where are you going to be?

Let's just keep this brain melting stuff to ourselves, okay?

Let's put this back here. There we go.

Let's see now. You come here from a great distance?

Let's set your destination time.

Libyans.

Lie out underneath the stars.

Like a little lost puppy, and my heart just went out to him.

Like the way I met your father.

LINDA: If Paul calls, tell him I'm working at the boutique late.

LINDA: Marty, I almost forgot. Jennifer Parker called.

LINDA: Marty.

LINDA: Mom. There's nothing wrong with calling a boy.

LINDA: Then how am I ever supposed to meet anybody?

LINDA: Which one was it? DAVID: I can't keep up with your boyfriends.

LINDA: Yeah, we know. You've told us this story a million times.

Listen, Doc.

Listen, I got to go, but...

Listen.

Look at her sweatshirt, Doc. "Class of 1984"?

Look at him go!

Look at it roll.

Look at Marvin's hand.

Look at me. You think I'll spend my life in this slop house?

Look at my birthday. I haven't even been born yet.

Look at my driver's license. Expires 1987.

Look me up when you get there, all right?

Look me up when you get there.

Look out!

Look what she wrote here.

Look, you're not going to be picking a fight, Dad...

Looks like an airplane without wings.

Lorraine, what are you doing?

Lorraine, you ever have a kid who acts that way, I'll disown you.

LORRAINE: [Muffled] Let me go!

LORRAINE: George, aren't you going to kiss me?

LORRAINE: Let me go! MARTY: Leave her alone!

LORRAINE: Marty, this may seem a little forward...

LORRAINE: Marty, will we ever see you again?

LORRAINE: No.

LORRAINE: Please, George. BIFF: Are you deaf?

LORRAINE: Quick! Put your pants back on!

LORRAINE: There, there, now.

LORRAINE: This is all wrong.

LORRAINE: Well...

Lorraine?

Lorraine.

Lorraine...

Lou, give me a milk.

Lows tonight, in the upper forties.

MAN: Hey, kid. You jump ship?

MAN: My pine! Why you...

MAN: Watch it, Goldie. GOLDIE: No, sir!

MAN: You want a Pepsi, pal, you're going to pay for it.

Marty, don't be such a square.

Marty, here's your keys. You're all waxed up, ready for tonight.

Marty, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're stuck here.

Marty, I'm sorry, but the only power source capable of generating...

Marty, one rejection isn't the end of the world.

Marty, that was very interesting music.

Marty, you seem so nervous. Is something wrong?

Marty, you're acting like you haven't seen me in a week.

MARTY: "Too loud." I can't believe it.

MARTY: [Muffled] Silence, Earthling.

MARTY: [Muffled] The keys are in the trunk.

MARTY: All right. MARVIN: All right!

MARTY: And watch that re entry. It's a little bumpy.

MARTY: Brown.

MARTY: Come on.

MARTY: Do you know where 1640 Riverside... MAN: Are you going to order, kid?

MARTY: Doc, look. All we need is a little plutonium.

MARTY: Doc! Doc!

MARTY: Doc?

MARTY: Excuse me? STELLA: I guessed you're a sailor.

MARTY: George, buddy...

MARTY: George!

MARTY: Got it.

MARTY: I haven't told you about... DOC: One shouldn't know about his own destiny.

MARTY: I mean, he wrecked it. He totaled it.

MARTY: I'll call you tonight.

MARTY: I'll get it back to you.

MARTY: Is Einstein with you? DOC: Yeah, he's right here.

MARTY: Jesus!

MARTY: Let me look at you.

MARTY: Listen to me.

MARTY: Listen, Doc... DOC: Quiet!

MARTY: Listen, you got to help me. WOMAN: Don't stop, Wilbur!

MARTY: Listen...

MARTY: Lorraine.

MARTY: No, wait, Doc.

MARTY: No!

MARTY: Okay, McFly.

MARTY: Okay.

MARTY: One, two, three.

MARTY: Please.

MARTY: Right! I got it!

MARTY: So how far ahead are you going?

MARTY: So, you're my uncle Joey.

MARTY: Sounds heavy. DOC: Weight has nothing to do with it.

MARTY: Take care.

MARTY: That is hot. ATTENDANT: Back her up.

MARTY: The bruise on your head. I know how that happened. You told me.

MARTY: The flux capacitor.

MARTY: There's a quarter. WOMAN: Thanks.

MARTY: There's something wrong with the starter, so I hid it here.

MARTY: This is the part coming up.

MARTY: Uncle "Jailbird" Joey?

MARTY: What did you say? DOC: A bolt of lightning.

MARTY: What made you change your mind?

MARTY: What the hell is this?

MARTY: What? Is it hot? DOC: It's cold. Damn cold.

MARTY: What's going on? God.

MARTY: Who?

MARTY: Why not?

MARTY: Yeah.

MARTY: Yo. DOC: Marty, is that you?

MARTY: You got that thing hooked up to the car?

MARTY: You got to help me. You are the only one who knows how your time machine works.

MARTY: You got to help... DOC: Quiet.

MARTY: You heard her. She said, get your meat hooks...

MARTY: You're instilling me with a lot of confidence.

Marty!

Marty? Why are you so nervous?

Marty...

Marvin, you got to play.

MARVIN: [Singing] "Earth Angel, Earth Angel

MARVIN: [Singing] "The vision of your happiness

MARVIN: Get home to your mama, boy.

MARVIN: Give me a hand here, Reginald.

MARVIN: Say that again? MARTY: I said, the keys are in here.

MARVIN: Yeah, man, that was good. Let's do another one.

Maybe you are and you just don't know it yet.

Mayor Goldie Wilson.

Mayor Wilson is sponsoring an initiative to replace that clock.

Mayor!

Meanwhile, we've outfitted the time vehicle with this big pole and hook...

Mom! Dad!

Mom?

Mostly clear, with some scattered clouds.

MR. MCFLY: Believe me, Marty, you're better off...

MR. MCFLY: Biff, can I assume...

MR. MCFLY: But, if it wasn't for him... MRS. MCFLY: We'd never have fallen in love.

MR. MCFLY: Hit your head? MRS. MCFLY: Are you okay?

MR. MCFLY: I'm sure the car is fine. DAVID: Why am I the last to know?

MR. MCFLY: I've always told you, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

MR. MCFLY: Science fiction stories about visitors...

MR. MCFLY: See? There's Biff out there waxing it now.

Mr. McFly! Mr. McFly, this just arrived.

MRS. MCFLY: David, watch your mouth!

MRS. MCFLY: Good morning, kids. DAVID AND LINDA: 'Morning.

MRS. MCFLY: I don't like her.

MRS. MCFLY: We need a rematch. MR. MCFLY: A rematch?

MRS. MCFLY: What was it, George? Bird watching?

Much later.

My density...

My God, has it been that long?

My God!

My God.

My insurance? It's your car.

My mother would freak out if she knew I was going with you.

My name is Darth Vader.

My name is Lorraine.

NEWSCASTER: The Senate is expected to vote on this today.

Next group, please.

Next Saturday night we're sending you back to the future!

Next, please.

No wonder your president has to be an actor. He has to look good on TV.

No, actually, people...

No, Biff. You leave her alone.

No, get out of town. My mom thinks I'm going camping with the guys.

No, this sucker's electrical...

No! No, not again!

No! Stay right here with me. Come on, Lorraine.

No.

No. Good. Fine. Good.

No. I got to go.

No. It was the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

No. No, don't be silly.

No. No, no.

No. No, not hard at all.

Not me! The car!

Not too early. I sleep in Saturday.

Not yet.

Nothing.

Nothing's coming to my mind.

November 5, 1955.

Now that's a good idea! I could run for mayor.

Now we can watch Jackie Gleason while we eat.

Now, Biff, I never noticed...

Now, Biff, I want to make sure we get two coats of wax, not just one.

Now, I need your help to get back to the year 1985.

Now, I painted a white line on the street way over there.

Now, look. I'll finish those reports tonight...

Of course. 'Cause of all the fallout from the atomic wars.

Of course. From a group of Libyans. They wanted me to build them a bomb.

Oh, my God! It's my mother!

Oh, no.

Okay, Biff.

Okay, that's enough. Thank you, fellas.

Okay.

Okay. I'll prove it to you.

Okay. Okay, you guys.

Okay. So now you come up. You punch me in the stomach.

Okay. Ten minutes ought to do it.

Okay. Time circuit's on.

Old man Peabody owned all of this.

On election day, cast your vote for a proven leader.

On the night I go back in time you get...

One day, I'm going to be somebody.

One minute into the future, to be exact.

One other thing.

Our first date. I'll never forget it.

Our first television set. Dad just picked it up today.

Over there...

Perfect.

Please excuse the crudity of this model.

Please note that Einstein's clock...

Please, hurry!

Please. Please. Come on!

Pleased to meet you, Calvin...

Plutonium. Wait a minute.

Progress is his middle name.

Put your seat belt on.

Quiet.

Quit fiddling with that thing. Come in here to dinner.

Radiation suit?

Ready.

Reginald, where are your keys?

Release.

Right around 9:00, she's going to get very angry with me.

Right here, right now, in the cafeteria?

Right, George.

Right.

Right. Bye bye, Einie.

Right. Give me a Pepsi Free.

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

Rock 'n' roll.

Run for it, Marty!

Sam, here's the young man you hit with your car. He's all right. Thank God.

Sam, stop fiddling with that thing and come in here and eat your dinner.

Save the clock tower!

Say hi to your mom for me.

Say whatever's natural, the first thing that comes into your mind.

Say you want to see the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Scram, McFly. I'm cutting in.

See you all later.

Set.

Shape up, man. You're a slacker.

She just doesn't know it yet.

She really likes you.

She told me to tell you that she wants you to ask her...

She's crazy about me. Look at this.

She's just trying to keep you respectable.

She's not doing a very good job.

Shut your filthy mouth. I'm not that kind of girl.

Since when can weathermen predict the weather, let alone the future?

Since you're new here, I'm going to cut you a break...

So anyway, George. About Lorraine.

So right now, Statler Toyota is making the best deals of the year...

So why don't you make like a tree...

So, 9:00, you're strolling through the parking lot.

Some new, specialized weather sensing equipment.

Somebody's coming.

Someday, Jennifer. Someday.

Something that cooks.

Something without sugar.

Sorry about your barn.

Stand tall. Have some respect for yourself.

STELLA: Lorraine, are you up there?

STELLA: Marty, how long have you been in port?

STELLA: Then I'll call her. I don't want her to worry about you.

STELLA: Yes. Joey just loves being in his playpen.

STELLA: You already know Lorraine.

Stop it!

Stories.

Take him in back. I'll be right there.

Tell her destiny brought you together.

Tell her she is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen in the world.

Terrible.

TERRORIST: Go!

Thanks a lot, kid.

Thanks very much. You were all great.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

That ain't no airplane. Look.

That I'm going to have a chance to travel through time!

That I'm going to succeed in this!

That is disgusting.

That is out of the question. You must not leave this house.

That is your name, isn't it? Calvin Klein.

That says it all.

That was so stupid. Grandpa hit him with the car.

That was the day I invented time travel.

That you?

That's a big bruise you have there.

That's a great idea. I'd love to park.

That's Calvin Klein. My God, he's a dream.

That's for messing up my hair.

That's George McFly?

That's George McFly.

That's good advice.

That's right. He's going to be mayor.

That's Strickland.

That's the Florence Nightingale effect.

That's true, Marty.

That's when you got the idea for the flux capacitor which...

That's where you'll start from.

That's why his watch is exactly one minute behind mine.

That's why we got to show her that you, George, are a fighter.

That's why you wear that life preserver.

That's why your brother's disappearing.

The appropriate question is, "When the hell are they?"

The car's wrecked.

The consequences could be disastrous!

The dance is over unless you know somebody that can play the guitar.

The Enchantment Under the Sea dance! They're supposed to go to this.

The FBI, which is investigating the matter, had no comment.

The flux capacitor.

The old man really came through. It worked.

The only way we're going to get them to mate is if they're alone.

The porcelain was wet. I slipped, hit my head on the sink.

The space time continuum?

The storm.

The temporal displacement occurred exactly 1:20 a.m. And zero seconds!

Then tell me, future boy...

Then who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?

There's nothing to be scared of. All it takes is self confidence.

There's that word again. "Heavy."

They found me. I don't know how, but they found me.

They kiss for the first time at the dance. If there's no music, they can't dance.

They really cleaned this place up. Looks brand new.

They're all exactly 25 minutes slow!

They're bigger than me.

They're your parents. You must know them.

Things have certainly changed around here.

Think, McFly. Think!

Thirty years ago, lightning struck that clock tower and the clock hasn't run since.

This is a radiation suit.

This is for all you lovers out there.

This is it!

This is it.

This is Milton, this is Sally...

This is my doc... My uncle...

This is nuts.

This is temporal experiment number one.

This is the answer.

This is truly amazing.

This is what makes time travel possible.

This is where Ralph dresses up as a man from space.

This is... This is heavy duty, Doc. This is great.

This so called Dr. Brown is dangerous. He's a real nutcase.

This sucker's electrical but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts...

This time it wasn't my fault. The doc set all his clocks 25 minutes slow.

Throw a couple of sleeping bags in the back.

THUG 1: Biff! THUG 2: Hurry, Biff!

THUG 1: Hey, let's put him in there. THUG 2: Yeah!

THUG 2: Listen, guys...

Time to change that oil.

Tom, how am I going to generate that kind of power?

Tow for impoundment. Any unit, please respond.

Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick. Plutonium.

Unfortunately, you never know when or where it's ever going to strike.

Very funny. You guys are being real mature.

Wait a minute, Doc.

Wait a minute. Don't I know you from somewhere?

Wait a minute. Who are you?

Watch me for the changes, and try and keep up, okay?

Watch this!

We all make mistakes in life, children.

We at the Hill Valley Preservation Society think it should be preserved the way it is...

We better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

We run industrial strength electrical cable from the top of the clock tower...

We talked about this. How can I go to the lake?

We'll never get a chance to play in front of anybody.

We're the Pinheads.

We've got to get you home!

We've got to sneak this back to my laboratory.

Welcome to my latest experiment. This is the one I've been waiting for all my life.

Well, because, George, nice girls get angry when guys take advantage of them.

Well, because, George, she wants to go with you.

Well, go on. This ain't no peep show.

Well, good luck, you guys.

Well, I figured, what the hell.

Well, I guess that's everything.

Well, it'll just happen.

Well, it's an oldie where I come from.

Well, it's going to cost you.

Well, listen to this.

Well, lookee what we have here.

Well, Marty, I hope you like meat loaf.

Well, Marty, I want to thank you for all your good advice.

Well, yeah. You know, we have two of them.

Well...

What a nightmare.

What about all that talk about screwing up future events?

What are their common interests? What do they like to do together?

What are you doing, Doc?

What are you doing?

What are you looking at, butthead?

What are you talking about? What happens to us in the future?

What are you writing?

What do you mean, you've seen this? It's brand new.

What happened?

What I meant to say was...

What if she said no? I don't know if I could take that kind of rejection.

What if they didn't like them? What if they told me I was no good?

What if they say I'm no good?

What if they say, "You got no future"?

What is it, Pa?

What kind of date? What do kids do in the '50s?

What the hell are you doing to my car?

What the hell is a gigawatt?

What were you doing in the middle of the street?

What, Lorraine? What?

What?

What? What, Ma?

What's a rerun?

What's it to you, butthead?

What's this thing I'm wearing?

Whatever you've got to tell me I'll find out through the natural course of time.

When did this happen? Why wasn't I told?

When I came to, I had a revelation.

When I was your age, I never chased a boy or called a boy or...

Where are my pants?

Where were we?

Which one's your pop?

While you were outside pouting over the car...

Who are you?

Who do you think? The Libyans!

Who is that guy?

Who the hell is John F. Kennedy?

Who you calling spook, peckerwood?

Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravity?

Why do you let those boys push you around like that for?

Why even bother? You don't have a chance.

Why is she going to get angry with you?

Why, thank you, Marty. George!

With Marty's parents out of town...

WOMAN: Don't forget to take a flyer.

WOMAN: Pa, what is it?

WOMAN: Save the clock tower. Save the clock tower.

Wouldn't it be great to take that truck up to the lake?

Wow! You must be rich.

Wrecked? Wrecked??

Yeah, but I've never picked a fight in my entire life.

Yeah, but Lorraine wants to go with you.

Yeah, I think maybe you do.

Yeah, I'm...

Yeah, well, history is going to change.

Yeah, well, I might've sort of bumped into my parents.

Yeah, well, I saw it on a rerun.

Yeah, well, you shouldn't drink.

Yeah, well.

Yeah.

Yeah. I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah. It's a major embarrassment, having an uncle in prison.

Yeah. L...

Yeah. Sure. Okay.

Yes, of course.

Yes, sir.

Yes. I'm George. George McFly.

Yet.

You bet your ass it works.

You bet.

You can't.

You caused $300 damage to my car, you son of a bitch...

You come here and kiss your mother before you go.

You decided to go with him to the Fish Under the Sea dance.

You do?

You don't just walk into a store and buy plutonium.

You ever think of running for class president?

You felt sorry for him.

You get the cable, I'll throw the rope down to you.

You got a real attitude problem. You're a slacker.

You guys look great. Mom, you look so thin.

You know what I do in those situations?

You know you want me to give it to you.

You know, if you put your mind to it...

You know, Marty, I'm going to be very sad to see you go.

You know, Marty, you look so familiar to me.

You left your equipment on all week.

You look great. Everything looks great.

You make it sound so easy.

You mean like how you're supposed to act on a first date?

You mean nobody's asked you?

You mean...

You must not see or talk to anybody.

You okay?

You realize what would happen if I hand in my homework in your handwriting?

You remember me, the guy who saved your life the other day?

You remember me, the guy who saved your life the other day? Yeah. There's somebody I'd like you to meet.

You remind me of your father when he went here. He was a slacker, too.

You see us struggling in the car.

You stick to your father like glue and make sure he takes her to that dance.

You want me to make a donation...

You were standing on your toilet hanging a clock...

You weren't at school. What have you been doing?

You won't find a better car...

You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

You, too.

You're alive.

You're asking for it...

You're beginning to sound just like my mother.

You're coming to her rescue, right?

You're my...

You're right.

You're so thin!

You're so...

You're somebody who stands up for yourself and will protect her.

You're too much like your old man.

You've been asleep for almost nine hours now.

You've got less than four minutes.

You've got to come back with me!

You've got to get them to interact...

You've got to send it in to the record company.

You've made a difference in my life, given me something to shoot for.

Your band is on the roster for the dance auditions after school today.

Your cousin, Marvin Berry?

Your father kissed me for the first time on that dance floor.

Your insurance should pay. Who's going to pay for this?

Your line, George.

Your mother is infatuated with you instead of your father.

Your shoe's untied.

Your sister will follow, and unless you repair the damage, you're next.

Your Uncle Joey didn't make parole again.

1:15 in the morning? Doc, what's going on?

1:24.

1.21 gigawatts!

88 miles per hour!

1955?

A colored mayor. That'll be the day. Wait and see. I will be mayor.

And where am I going to be? You'll be in the car, with her.

Do we become assholes or something? No, Marty.

Do you mind if I sit here? No. Fine.

Doc, about the future... No!

Don't kid around. Come on. Come on. Leave.

Hello. Good morning.

Hi. Hi.

How about a ride, mister? Jennifer!

How's your head? Good. Fine.

I got a girl. Is she pretty?

I think so. What did she say?

I'm an old man! I'm Dr. Emmett Brown.

I'm just finishing up the second coat now. Now, Biff, don't con me.

Is that a Devo suit? Never mind that now.

It's good. Thank you.

It's like Doc's always saying. I know.

Let me read some. No, no.

Marty! Marty! George, buddy.

Marty! You made it! Yeah.

Never? No. Why? What's the matter?

No, Doc! Look at the time!

No. I wouldn't want that to happen.

No. Not a word now!

Now I'm going to... Biff. What's that?

Precisely. This is heavy.

Really? Yeah.

Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan? The actor?

She didn't even look at him. This is more serious than I thought.

Stop it. What?

Thanks. Thank you.

That's where they kiss for the first time. All right, kid.

That's where you're going. Right.

Well, listen, I really ought to... Sit here, Marty.

What about George? George McFly?

What are you doing? I'm writing this down. This is good stuff.

What are you looking at, butthead? Get a load of his life preserver.

What did your mother see in him? I don't know.

What you got under here? No! Don't touch that!

What? I don't worry.

What? What's with the life preserver?

What? You're George McFly!

What's the meaning of this? You'll find out in 30 years.

Where does he come from? Yeah, where does he live?

Where? Back to the future.

Whose are these? Mine.

Why not? Because you...

Why? Were you cheating? No.

Would you? Of course not.

Yeah. There's somebody I'd like you to meet.

Yeah. Exactly. Don't tell me!

Yeah. Okay. Can you take care of that? Right.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. There she is.

You don't understand. I do.

You mean like a date? Right!

You're going to go touch her on her... No. No, George, look.

Your life depends on it! No!
