No, wait, Doc. Doc. The-the-the bruise on your head, I know how that happened. You told me the whole story. You were standing on your toilet and you were hanging a clock, and you fell and you hit your head on the sink. And that's when you came up with the idea for the flux capacitor,

1955 radio weatherman
[It's Marty's last night in 1955. Doc is setting up the cable that will channel the lightning bolt into the time machine] ... Hill Valley area weather this Saturday night. Mostly clear, with some scattered clouds. Lows tonight in the upper 40s.
Dr. Emmett Brown
Are you sure about this storm?
Marty McFly
Since when can weathermen predict the weather, let alone the future?
Dr. Emmett Brown
You know, Marty, I'm gonna be very sad to see you go. You've really made a difference in my life. You've given me something to shoot for. Just knowing that I'm going to be around to see 1985. That I'm gonna succeed in this!
[gestures at time machine]
Dr. Emmett Brown
That I'm gonna have a chance to travel through time!
[Marty looks solemn, knowing that Doc is destined to be murdered before he gets to use the time machine himself]
Dr. Emmett Brown
It's gonna be really hard waiting 30 years before I can talk to you about everything that's happened in the past few days. I'm really gonna miss you, Marty.
Marty McFly
I'm really gonna miss *you*.
[pause]
Marty McFly
Doc, about the future...
Dr. Emmett Brown
No! Marty! We've already agreed that having information about the future can be extremely dangerous. Even if your intentions are good, it can backfire drastically!

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

Bulletproof vest? How did you know? I never got a chance to tell you.
Marty McFly
[Doc smiles and removes a weathered piece of paper from his pocket. Marty unfolds the paper to reveal it is the warning letter he had written in 1955, taped back together]
What about all that talk about screwing up future events? The space-time continuum?

What?
Dr. Emmett Brown
[Walks over to his future self's suit case]
So, these are my personal belongings, huh?

Yeah.
Marty McFly
It's a hair dryer.
Dr. Emmett Brown
A hair dryer? Don't they have towels in the future?
Dr. Emmett Brown
[Picks up a pair of underwear]
Oh, look at these underpants. They're all made of cotton. I though for sure we'd all be wearing disposable paper garments by 1985.

Goldie Wilson
[rushes up to George]
Say! Why do you let those boys push you around like that for?
George McFly
Well, they're bigger than me.
Goldie Wilson
Stand tall, boy. Have some respect for yourself. Don't you know, if you let people walk over you now, they'll be walking over you for the rest of your life. Look at me. You think I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in this slop house?
Lou
Watch it, Goldie.
Goldie Wilson
No, sir! I'm gonna make something of myself. I'm going to night school, and one day, I'm gonna be somebody!
Marty McFly
That's right! He's gonna be mayor.
Goldie Wilson
Yeah, I'm...
[smiles, one of his front teeth is gold]
Goldie Wilson
Mayor! Now *that's* a good idea! I could run for mayor.
Lou
A colored mayor. That'll be the day.
Goldie Wilson
You wait and see, Mr. Caruthers. I *will* be mayor! I'll be the most powerful man in Hill Valley, and I'm gonna clean up this town.

Good. You can start by sweeping the floor.

Marty McFly
[looks through a camcorder]
This is heavy-duty, Doc. This is great. Uh, does it run, like, on regular unleaded gasoline?
Dr. Emmett Brown
Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick. Plutonium.
Marty McFly
Um, plutonium. Wait a minute. Are...
[lowers the camcorder]
Marty McFly
Are you telling me that this sucker is NUCLEAR?
Dr. Emmett Brown
Hey, hey, hey! Keep rolling. Keep rolling there.
[Marty raises the camcorder]
Dr. Emmett Brown
No, no, no, no, no, this sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need.
Marty McFly
Doc, you don't just walk into a store and-and buy plutonium! Did you rip that off?
Dr. Emmett Brown
Of course. From a group of Libyan nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb, so I took their plutonium and, in turn, gave them a shoddy bomb casing full of used pinball machine parts. Come on! Let's get you a radiation suit. We must prepare to reload.

Marty, I'm almost 18 years old. It's not like I've never parked before.
Marty McFly
What?
Lorraine Baines
Marty, you seem so nervous. Is something wrong?
[Lorraine takes a sip from a liquor bottle]
Marty McFly
Yeah, well, you shouldn't drink.
Lorraine Baines
Why not?
Marty McFly
Because you... You might regret it later in life.
Lorraine Baines

George McFly
Blind spot? Now, now, Biff, now I never noticed that the car had any blind spot before when I would drive it. Hi, Son.
Biff Tannen
What, are you blind, McFly? It's there. How else do you explain that wreck out there?
George McFly
Biff, can I- Can I assume that your, uh, insurance is gonna pay for the damage?
Biff Tannen
My insurance? It's your car. Your insurance should pay for it. I wanna know who's gonna pay for this?

[Marty sees the outside of the Hill Valley High School in 1955]
Marty McFly
Whoa. They really cleaned this place up. Looks brand-new.
[Marty and Doc walk toward the building]
Dr. Emmett Brown
Now, remember. According to my theory, you interfered with your parents' first meeting. If they don't meet, they won't fall in love, they won't get married and they won't have kids. That's why your older brother's disappearing from that photograph. Your sister will follow, and unless you repair the damage, you'll be next.
Marty McFly
Sounds pretty heavy.

Weight has nothing to do with it.

Dr. Emmett Brown
[reads the "Save the Clock Tower" flyer and reacts with hope]
This is it! This is the answer. It says here that a bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04 p.m. next Saturday night! If... 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!

Dr. Emmett Brown
Right!

Dr. Emmett Brown
Well, they're your parents. You must know them. What are their common interests? What do they like to do together?

Nothing.

Marty McFly
Lorraine. Have you ever been in a situation where you knew you had to act a certain way, but when you got there, you didn't know if you could go through with it?
Lorraine Baines
You mean like how you're supposed to act on a first date?
Lorraine Baines
I think I know exactly what you mean. You know what I do in those situations?
Marty McFly
You do? What?
Lorraine Baines
I don't worry.
[kisses him hard]
Lorraine Baines
[Lorraine stops and pulls back, Marty is freaking out]
Lorraine Baines
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 any sense, does it?

Dr. Emmett Brown
Marty, I'm sorry, but the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning.

Mr. Strickland
I noticed your band is on the roster for the dance auditions after school today. Why even bother, McFly? You don't have a chance. You're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley!

Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Huh? Think, McFly. Think! I gotta have time to get them retyped. Do you realize what would happen if I hand in my reports in your handwriting? I'll get fired. You wouldn't want that to happen, would ya? Would ya?
George McFly
Of course not, Biff. Now, I wouldn't want that to happen. Now, look. I'll, uh, finish those reports on up tonight, and I'll run 'em on over first thing tomorrow, all right?
Biff Tannen
Not too early. I sleep in Saturday. Oh, McFly, your shoe's untied.

No, no, no listen, George it's just an act! Okay? So around nine o'clock you're walking through the parking lot, you see us... struggling in the car. You walk up, you open the door and you say

The Senate is expected to vote on this today. In other news, officials at the Pacific Nuclear research facility have denied the rumor that a case of missing plutonium was, in fact, stolen from their vault two weeks ago. A Libyan terrorist group had claimed responsibility for the alleged theft. However, officials now attribute the discrepancy to a simple clerical error. The FBI, which is investigating the matter, had no comment. Twelve wooden crates filled with cocaine washed ashore near Boca Raton, Florida, yesterday.

No, get out of town. My mom thinks I'm going camping with the guys. Look, Jennifer, my mother would freak out if she knew I was going out with you, and I'd get the standard lecture about how she never did that kind of stuff when she was a kid. I mean, look, I think the woman was born a nun.

Okay, but I don't know what to say.
Marty McFly
Well, just say anything, George. Say whatever's natural, the first thing that comes into your mind.

Marty, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're stuck here.
Marty McFly
Whoa. Whoa, Doc, stuck here? I can't... I can't be stuck here. I got a life in 1985. I got a girl.
Dr. Emmett Brown
Is she pretty?
Marty McFly
Doc, she's beautiful. She...
[showing him the back of the "Save the Clocktower" flyer]
Marty McFly
She's crazy about me. Look at this. Look what she wrote here, Doc. I mean, that says it all. Doc, you're my only hope.

Dr. Emmett Brown
Let's set your destination time.
[getting into the DeLorean]
Dr. Emmett Brown
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'll start from. I've calculated the precise distance, taking into account the acceleration speed and wind resistance retroactive from the moment the lightning strikes, which will be in exactly 7 minutes and 22 seconds.

Dr. Emmett Brown
When this alarm goes off, you hit the gas.

George McFly
I still don't understand. How am I supposed to go to the dance with her if she's already going to the dance with you?
Marty McFly
Well, because, George, 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. You're somebody who's gonna stand up for yourself, somebody who's gonna protect her.

Dr. Emmett Brown
Okay, now, we run some industrial-strength electrical cable from the top of the clock tower, down, suspending it over the street between these two lampposts. Meanwhile, we've outfitted the time vehicle with this big pole and hook, which runs directly into the flux capacitor. At the calculated moment, you start off from down the street, driving directly towards the cable, accelerating to 88 miles per hour. According to the flyer, at precisely 10:04 p.m. this Saturday night, lighting will strike the clock tower, electrifying the cable, just as the connecting hook makes contact, thereby sending 1.21 gigawatts into the flux capacitor and sending you back to 1985. All right, now. Watch this. You wind up the car and release it. I'll simulate the lightning.
[plugging in and holding up two jumper cables]
Dr. Emmett Brown
Ready.
[attaching one to the model lamppost]
Dr. Emmett Brown
Set. Release!
[Marty lets the toy car go, and Doc attaches the other to a nail in the model clock tower; as the "lightning" strikes, the car catches on fire, runs off the model, and sets fire to a pile of rags soaking in paint thinner]
Marty McFly
You're not instilling me with a lot of confidence, Doc.
Dr. Emmett Brown
Don't worry. I'll take care of ideas. You just take care of your pop. By the way, what happened today? Did he ask her out?
Dr. Emmett Brown
What did she say?

It's your mom! She's tracked you down!

Dr. Emmett Brown
He's fine! And he's completely unaware that anything happened. As far as he's concerned, the trip was instantaneous. That's why his watch is exactly one minute behind mine. He skipped over that minute to instantly arrive at this moment in time. Come here. I'll show you how it works.
Marty McFly
All right.
Dr. Emmett Brown
[getting in the driver's seat]
First, you turn the time circuits on. This readout tells you where you're going, this one tells you where you are, this one tells you where you were. You input your destination time on this keypad. Say you wanna see the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
[inputting "July 4, 1776"]
Dr. Emmett Brown
Or witness the birth of Christ.
[inputting "December 25, 0000"]
Dr. Emmett Brown
Here's a red-letter date in the history of science. November 5, 1955.
[realizing]
Dr. Emmett Brown
Yes, of course, November 5, 1955.
Marty McFly
What? I don't get it. What happened?
Dr. Emmett Brown
[laughing to himself]
That was the day I invented time travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet, hanging a clock. The porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the edge of the sink. And when I came to, I had a revelation. A vision. A picture in my head. A picture of this. This is what makes time travel possible. The flux capacitor.
Marty McFly
Flux capacitor?
Dr. Emmett Brown
It's taken me almost 30 years and my entire family fortune to realize the vision of that day. My god, has it been that long?

George McFly
Really?
Marty McFly
Oh, yeah. All you gotta do is go over there and ask her.
George McFly
What, right here, right now in the cafeteria? What if she said no? I don't know if I could take that kind of a rejection. Besides, I think she'd rather go with somebody else.
Marty McFly
Uh, who?

Save the clock tower! Save the clock tower! Mayor Wilson is sponsoring an initiative to replace that clock. 30 years ago, lightning struck that clock tower, and the clock hasn't run since. We at the Hill Valley Preservation Society think it should be preserved exactly the way it is, as part of our history and heritage.
