You been looking for a fight.
Since you're new here, I'm going to 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?
George, I'm telling you, if you do not ask Lorraine to that dance...
-...I'll regret it for the rest of my life. -I can't go.
I'll miss my favorite TV program, Science Fiction Theatre.
Yeah, but Lorraine wants to go with you.
Give her a break.
I'm just not ready to ask Lorraine out to the dance...
...and not you or anybody else on this planet...
...is going to make me change my mind.
Science Fiction Theatre.
Who are you?
"Silence, Earthling.
My name is Darth Vader.
I am an extraterrestrial from the planet Vulcan.
Marty!
-Marty! Marty! -George, buddy.
You weren't at school. What have you been doing?
I overslept. I need your help.
I have to ask Lorraine out, but I don't know how to do it.
Keep your pants on. She's over in the cafe.
God! How do you...?
What made you change your mind?
Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan...
...and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out, he'd melt my brain.
Let's just keep this brain-melting stuff to ourselves, okay?
-Yeah. Yeah. -All right. There she is.
Just go in there and invite her.
But I don't know what to say. Say anything.
Say whatever's natural, the first thing that comes into your mind.
Nothing's coming to my mind.
Jesus. It's a wonder I was even born.
-What? What? -Nothing.
Tell her destiny brought you together.
Tell her she is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen in the world.
Girls like that stuff.
-What are you doing? -I'm writing this down. This is good stuff.
-Yeah. Okay. Can you take care of that? -Right.
Lou, give me a milk.
Chocolate.
- Lorraine.
My density...
...has popped me to you.
What?
What I meant to say was--
Wait a minute. Don't I know you from somewhere?
- Yes.
Yes. I'm George. George McFly.
I'm your density.
I mean...
...your destiny.
- 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?
- How much do you want, Biff?
All right, punk.
-Now I'm going to-- -Biff. What's that?
That's Calvin Klein. My God, he's a dream.
Kid! Kid, stop! Stop!
I'll get it back to you.
You broke it!
Come back here!
Look at him go!
Get him!
- To the car! Go!
What's that thing he's on? - A board with wheels.
He's an absolute dream.
- Come on, come on! - Look out for the car!
I'm going to ram him.
Shit!
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'm going to find out.
My God.
They found me. I don't know how, but they found me.
Run for it, Marty!
My God.
They found me. I don't know how, but they found me.
Run for it, Marty!
Doc?
Hi, Marty. I didn't hear you come in.
Fascinating device, this video unit.
Listen, Doc.
I haven't told you about -- - One shouldn't know about his own destiny.
-You don't understand. -I do.
If I know too much I endanger my own existence...
...just as you've endangered yours.
You're right.
Let me show you my plan for sending you home.
Please excuse the crudity of this model.
I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it.
-It's good. -Thank you.
We run 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 o"ff f"rom down the street...
...driving directly toward the cable, accelerating to 88 miles per hour.
According to the flyer, at precisely 10:04 p.m. this Saturday night...
...lightning will strike the clock tower, electrifying the cable...
...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.
Ready.
Set.
Release.
- You're instilling me with a lot of confidence.
Don't worry. I'll take care of ideas. You take care of your pop.
By the way...
...what happened today? Did he ask her out?
-I think so. -What did she say?
It's your mom! She's tracked you down! Quick! Let's cover the time machine.
Hi, Cal.... Marty.
- Lorraine.
How did you know I was here?
I followed you.
This is my doc.... My 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?
You mean....
You mean nobody's asked you?
- No.
Not yet.
-What about George? -George McFly?
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 am I supposed to go to the dance with her...
...if she's already going to the dance with you?
Well, because, George, she wants to go with you.
She just doesn't know it yet.
That's why we got to show her that you, George, are a fighter.
You're somebody who stands up for yourself and will protect her.
Yeah, but I've never picked a fight in my entire life.
Look, you're not going to be picking a fight, Dad....
Dad-dad-daddy-o.
You're coming to her rescue, right?
Let's go over the plan again. 8:55, where are you going to be?
I'm going to be at the dance.
-And where am I going to be? -You'll be in the car, with her.
Right around 9:00, she's going to get very angry with me.
Why is she going to get angry with you?
Well, because, George, nice girls get angry when guys take advantage of them.
-You're going to go touch her on her-- -No. No, George, look.
It's just an act, right?
So, 9:00, you're strolling through the parking lot.
You see us struggling in the car.
You walk up, you open the door, and you say....
Your line, George.
Hey, you, get your damn hands off her!
-You really think I ought to swear? -Definitely.
Goddamn it, George, swear.
Okay. So now you come up. You punch me in the stomach.
I'm out for the count, right?
And you and Lorraine live happily ever after.
You make it sound so easy.
I just.... I wish I wasn't so scared.
There's nothing to be scared of. All it takes is self-confidence.
You know, if you put your mind to it...
...you can accomplish anything.
Hill Valley weather this Saturday night.
Mostly clear, with some scattered clouds.
Lows tonight, in the upper forties.
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 made a difference in my life, given me something to shoot for.
Just knowing that I'm going to be around to see 1985.
That I'm going to succeed in this!
That I'm going to have a chance to travel through time!
It's going to be hard waiting 30 years to talk to you...
...about everything that's happened in the past few days.
I'm really going to miss you, Marty.
I'm going to miss you.
-Doc, about the future-- -No!
We've agreed that 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.
"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?
Just a little weather experiment.
-What you got under here? -No! Don't touch that!
Some new, specialized weather-sensing equipment.
Got a permit for that?
Of course I do.
- Just a second. Let me see if I can find it here.
Do you mind if we...
...park for a while?
That's a great idea. I'd love to park.
I'm almost 18 years old. It's not like I've never parked before.
What?
Marty, you seem so nervous. Is something wrong?
No.
Lorraine, what are you doing?
I swiped it from the old lady's liquor cabinet.
Yeah, well, you shouldn't drink.
-Why not? -Because you....
You might regret it later in life.
Marty, don't be such a square.
Everybody who's anybody drinks.
Jeez, you smoke too?
You're beginning to sound just like my mother.
We're going to take a little break, but we'll be back in a while...
...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 when...
...you got there, you didn't know if you could go through with it?
You mean like how you're supposed to act on a first date?
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 any sense, does it?
Believe me...
...it makes perfect sense.
Somebody's coming.
You caused $300 damage to my car, you son of a bitch...
...and I'm going to take it out of your ass.
Hold him.
Let him go, Biff. You're drunk.
Well, lookee what we have here.
No! Stay right here with me. Come on, Lorraine.
Let me go! - Leave her alone!
Take him in back. I'll be right there.
Just admit that you want it. Come on.
Well, go on. This ain't no peep show.
- Hey, let's put him in there. - Yeah!
That's for messing up my hair.
What the hell are you doing to my car?
Hey, beat it, spook. This don't concern you.
Who you calling spook, peckerwood?
- Listen, guys...
...I don't want to mess with no reefer addicts, okay?
- Get home to your mama, boy.
- Biff! - Hurry, Biff!
- Let me out of here!
Reginald, where are your keys?
- The keys are in the trunk.
- Say that again? - I said, the keys are in here.
Let me go!
- Come on!
Hey you, get your damn hands off....
I think you got the wrong car, McFly.
George, help me! Please!
Just turn around, McFly, and walk away.
Please, George. - Are you deaf?
Close the door and beat it.
No, Biff. You leave her alone.
All right, McFly.
You're asking for it...
...and now you're going to get it.
Stop it!
Biff, you'll break his arm!
- Biff, no!
- Give me a hand here, Reginald.
Damn it, man! I sliced my hand!
-Whose are these? -Mine.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
You're going to break his arm!
Biff! Biff, leave him alone!
Let him go! Let him go!
Are you okay?
Who is that guy?
That's George McFly.
That's George McFly?
Excuse me.
The storm.
Guys, you got to get back in there and finish the dance.
Look at Marvin's hand.
He can't play with this hand, and we can't play without him.
Marvin, you got to play.
They kiss for the first time at the dance. lf there's no music, they can't dance.
If they can't dance and kiss, then they can't fall in love and I'm history.
The dance is over unless you know somebody that can play the guitar.
This is for all you lovers out there.
"Earth Angel, Earth Angel
"Will you be mine
"My darling dear"
LORRAlNE: George, aren't you going to kiss me?
I don't know.
Scram, McFly. I'm cutting in.
"Earth Angel, Earth Angel
"The one I adore"
Hey, boy, you all right?
I can't play.
George!
George.
Excuse me.
"The vision of your happiness
"Earth Angel, Earth Angel
"Please be mine
"My darling dear
"Love you for all time
"I'm just a fool
"A fool in love
"with you"
MARVlN: Yeah, man, that was good. Let's do another one.
No. I got to go.
Come on, man. Let's do something that really cooks.
Something that cooks.
All right. All right!
All right.
All right, this is an oldie, but....
Well, it's an oldie where I come from.
All right, listen, this is a blues riff in B.
Watch me for the changes, and try and keep up, okay?
"Way down in Louisiana Down in New Orleans
"Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
"There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
"Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode
"He never ever learned to read or write so well
"He could play the guitar just like he's ringin' a bell
"Go go Go Johnny go, go
"Go Johnny, go, go, go
"Go Johnny go, go"
George, I heard you laid out Biff. Nice going.
You ever think of running for class president?
"Johnny B. Goode
"Go Johnny go, go
"Go Johnny go, go, go
"Go Johnny go, go
"Go Johnny go, go, go
"Johnny B. Goode"
Chuck! Chuck, it's Marvin.
Your cousin, Marvin Berry?
You know that new sound you're looking for?
Well, listen to this.
I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet...
...but your kids are going to love it.
Lorraine.
Marty, that was very interesting music.
Yeah.
I hope you don't mind, but George asked if he could take me home.
Great! Good. Good, Lorraine. I had a feeling about you two.
I have a feeling, too.
Listen, I got to go, but...
...l wanted to tell you that it's been educational.
- Marty, will we ever see you again?
I guarantee it.
Well, Marty, I want to thank you for all your good advice.
I'll never forget it.
Right, George.
Well, good luck, you guys.
One other thing.
If you guys ever have kids...
...and one of them, when he's eight years old...
...accidentally sets fire to the living room rug...
...go easy on him.
Okay.
Marty. Such a nice name.
Damn! Where is that kid?
Damn!
Damn! Damn!
- You're late! Do you have no concept of time?
Hey, come on. I had to change.
Do you think I'm going back in that zoot suit?
The old man really came through. It worked.
He laid out Biff in one punch.
I didn't know he had it in him. He's never stood up to Biff in his life.
-Never? -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'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.
When this alarm goes off, you 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...
...with the connecting hook at precisely 88 miles an hour...
...the instant the lightning strikes the tower...
...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?
- Information about the future. - Wait a minute.
I warned you about this, kid.
The consequences could be disastrous!
Doc, that's a risk you're going to have to take.
-Your life depends on it! -No!
I refuse to accept the responsibility.
In that case, I'll tell you straight out.
Great Scott!
You get the cable, I'll throw the rope down to you.
- Right! I got it!
Doc!
- Come on, come on. Let's go! - All right! Take it up!
Go!
Doc!
I have to tell you about the future.
- What? - I have to tell you about the future!
What?
On the night I go back in time you get--
Doc!
Go!
-No, Doc! -Look at the time!
You've got less than four minutes.
Please, hurry!
- Yeah!
Damn it, Doc! Why did you have to tear up that letter?
If I only had more time.
Wait a minute. I got all the time I want.
I got a time machine. I can just go back early and warn him.
Okay. Ten minutes ought to do it.
Okay. Time circuit's on.
Flux capacitor, fluxing.
Engine running. All right.
No. No, no.
Come on. Come on. Not this time.
- Come on.
Here we go. Here we go. This time. Come on.
Please. Please. Come on!
Doc.
Crazy drunk driver.
All right. Fred.
You look great. Everything looks great.
1:24.
I still got time. I'm coming, Doc!
No! No, not again!
Come on! Come on!
Libyans.
No!
Bastards!
Go!
- Doc! Doc!
No!
You're alive.
Bulletproof vest?
How did you know?
I never got a chance to tell you.
What about all that talk about screwing up future events?
The space-time continuum?
Well, I figured, what the hell.
- So how far ahead are you going?
About 30 years. It's a nice round number.
Look me up when you get there, all right?
Guess I'll be about 47.
I will.
- Take care.
You, too.
Right. Bye-bye, Einie.
- And watch that re-entry. It's a little bumpy.
You bet.
What a nightmare.
- If Paul calls, tell him I'm working at the boutique late.
Linda, I'm not your answering service...
...and somebody named Greg or Craig called you just a little while ago.
- Which one was it? - I can't keep up with your boyfriends.
- What the hell is this?
Breakfast.
- Did you sleep in your clothes again?
Yeah. I--
What are you wearing, Dave?
Marty...
...I always wear a suit to the office.
- You all right? - Yeah.
- We need a rematch. - A rematch?
-Why? Were you cheating? -No.
-Hello. -Good morning.
Mom! Dad!
- Hit your head? - Are you okay?
You guys look great. Mom, you look so thin.
Why, thank you, Marty. George!
Good morning, sleepyhead.
- Good morning, kids. 'Morning.
- Marty, I almost forgot. Jennifer Parker called.
I sure like her. She is such a sweet girl.
Isn't tonight the night of the big date?
What? What, Ma?
Aren't you going up to the lake? You've been planning it for two weeks.
We talked about this. How can I go to the lake?
The car's wrecked.
- Wrecked? - Wrecked?
When did this happen? Why wasn't I told?
- I'm sure the car is fine. - Why am I the last to know?
- See? There's Biff out there waxing it now.
Now, Biff, I want to make sure we get two coats of wax, not just one.
-I'm just finishing up 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.
Biff. What a character.
Always trying to get away with something.
I've had to stay on top of Biff ever since high school.
- But, if it wasn't for him-- - We'd never have fallen in love.
Mr. McFly! Mr. McFly, this just arrived.
Hi, Marty. I think it's your new book.
Honey! Your first novel.
- I've always told you, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.
Marty, here's your keys. You're all waxed up, ready for tonight.
Keys?
-How about a ride, mister? -Jennifer!
Are you a sight for sore eyes.
- Let me look at you.
Marty, you're acting like you haven't seen me in a week.
I haven't.
You okay?
Is everything all right?
- Yeah.
Everything is great.
Marty!
You've got to come back with me!
-Where? -Back to the future.
What are you doing, Doc?
I need fuel.
Go ahead. Quick! Get in the car.
No, no. I just got here. Jennifer's here. We're taking the new truck for a spin.
- Bring her along. This concerns her, too.
What are you talking about? What happens to us in the future?
-Do we become assholes or something? -No, Marty.
Both you and Jennifer turn out fine. It's your kids, Marty.
Something has got to be done about your kids.
We better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.
