- Don't say a word. - Doc!
I don't wanna know anything about you.
- Listen, Doc-- Doc-- - Quiet!
- Don't tell me anything. Quiet. - You gotta help--

You come here from a great distance?
- Yeah. Exactly. - Don't tell me!
You want me to buya subscription to The Saturday Evening Post?
- No! - Not a word! Not a word now!
Quiet.
Uh... donations.
You want me to make a donation...
to the Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary.
Doc...
I'm from the future.
I came here in a time machine thatyou invented.
Now, I need your help to get back to theyear...
1 985.
By God!
Doyou know what this means?
It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all!
Doc, you gotta help me. You are the only one who knows howyour time machine works.
Time machine?
I haven't invented any time machine.
Okay. All right. I'll prove it toyou.
Look at my driver's license. Expires 1 987.
Look at my birthday. I haven't even been born yet.
And look at this picture.
It's my brother, my sister and me.
Look at her sweatshirt, Doc. "Class of 1 984"?
Pretty mediocre photographic fakery. They cut offyour brother's hair.
I'm tellin' the truth. You gotta believe me.
Then tell me, "future boy,"
who's president ofthe United States in 1 985?
- Ronald Reagan. - Ronald Reagan? The actor? Ha!
Then who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?
I supposeJane Wyman is the First Lady.
- Wait, Doc! - And Jack Benny is secretary ofthe treasury!
- Doc, you gotta listen to me! - I've had enough practical jokes for one evening.
- Good night, future boy! - No, wait, Doc. Doc!
Th-The bruise on your head. I know how that happened. You told me the whole story.
You were standing on your toilet hanging a clock...
and you fell and hityour head on the sink...
and that's when you came up with the idea for 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! [ Laughs ]
It works!
I finally invent something that works!
You bet your ass it works.
Somehow we've gotta sneak this back to my laboratory.
We've gotta get you home!
Here, Doc. This is it.
Never mind that. Never mind that now.
Why, that's me! Look at me!
- I'm an old man! - I'm Dr. Emmett Brown.
I'm in the parking lot ofTwin Pines Mall.
Thank God, I've still got my hair.
What's this thing I'm wearing?
This is a radiation suit.
Radiation suit?
Of course. Because ofall the fallout from the atomicwars.
This... is truly amazing.
A portable television studio.
Nowonderyour president has to be an actor. He's got to look good on television.
Whoa. This is the part comin' up, Doc.
No, no, no, no. This sucker's electrical...
but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts--
What did I just say?
...this sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction...
to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity--
1.21 gigawatts!
1.21 gigawatts.
Great Scott!
What--
What the hell is a gigawatt?
How could I have been so careless?
1.21 gigawatts!
Tom, how am I gonna generate that kind of power? It can't be done, can it?
Doc, look. All we need is a little plutonium.
Oh! I'm sure that in 1 985...
plutonium is available in every corner drugstore...
but in 1 955, it's a little hard to come by.
Marty, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're stuck here.
Whoa, Doc, stuck here? I can't be stuck here.
I got a life in 1 985.
- I got a girl. - Is she pretty?
Doc, she's beautiful. She--
She's crazy about me. Look at this.
Lookwhat she wrote here, Doc.
I mean, that says it all.
Doc, you're my only hope.
Marty, I'm sorry, but the only power source capable of generating...
1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt oflightning.
- What did you say? - A bolt oflightning.
Unfortunately, you never know when orwhere it's ever gonna strike.
We do now.
This is it!
This is the answer.
It says here that a bolt oflightning...
is gonna strike the clock tower at 1 0:04 p.m. next Saturday night!
Ifwe could somehow harness this lightning...
channel it into the flux capacitor...
itjust might work.
Next Saturday night...
we're sending you back to the future!
All right. Saturday's good. Saturday's good.
I can spend a week in 1 955. I can hang out. You can show me around.
That is completely out ofthe question. You must not leave this house.
You must not see anybody or talk to anybody.
Anything you do can have serious repercussions on future events.
Do you understand?
Yeah. Sure. Okay.
Have you interacted with anybody else today besides me?
I'm-- Yeah, well, I might've sort ofbumped into my parents.
Great Scott!
Let me see that photograph again ofyour brother.
Just as I thought. This proves my theory. Look atyour brother.
[Marty] His head's gone. It's like it's been erased.
Erased from existence.
Whoa! They really cleaned this place up. Looks brand new.
Remember, according to my theory, you interfered with your parents' first meeting.
Ifthey don't meet, theywon't fall in love, get married and have kids.
That's whyyour older brother's disappearing from that photograph.
Your sisterwill follow, and unless you repair the damage, you'll be next.
- Sounds pretty heavy. - Weight has nothing to do with it.
-[Bell Ringing] - Which one's your pop? - That's him.
Okay. Okay, you guys.
Ha, ha, ha, ha. Very funny. You guys are being real mature.
Maybe you were adopted.
Okay, real mature, guys.
- Okay, pick up my books. - McFly.
That's Strickland. Jesus, didn't that guy ever have hair?
Shape up, man. You're a slacker.
- Doyou wanna be a slacker for the rest ofyour life? - No.
- What did your mother ever see in that kid? - I don't know.
I guess she felt sorry for him 'cause her dad hit him with the car.
He hit me with the car.
That's the "Florence Nightingale effect."
It happens in hospitals when nurses fall in lovewith their patients.
Go to it, kid.
Hey, George, buddy.
I have been lookin' all over foryou.
You remember me, the guywho saved your life the other day?
Oh. Yeah.
Good. There's somebody I'd likeyou to meet.
Lorraine?
Calvin!
I'd likeyou to meet my good friend George McFly.
Hi. It's really a pleasure to meetyou.
- How's your head? - Uh, good. Fine.
I've been so worried aboutyou ever sinceyou ran offthe other night.
- A-Areyou okay? -[Bell Ringing]
- Come on. We're tardy! Come on! - Sorry. I have to go.
Isn't he a dreamboat?
- She didn't even look at him. - This is more serious than I thought.
Apparently, your mother is amorously infatuated with you...
instead ofyour father.
Whoa. Wait a minute, Doc. Areyou trying to tell me...
that my mother... has got the hots for me?
- Precisely. - Whoa. This is heavy.
There's that word again: heavy. Why are things so heavy in the future?
- Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull? - What?
The onlywaywe're gonna get those two to mate is ifthey are alone together.
Soyou've gotta getyour father and mother to interact...
in some sort of social-- [ Sighs ]
- What, you mean like a date? -[Bell Rings ]
- Right! - What kind of date?
What do kids do in the '50s?
They'reyour parents. You must know them.
What are their common interests? What do they like to do together?
Well, nothing.
Look! There's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up.
Of course! The Enchantment Under The Sea dance!
They're supposed to go to this. That's where they kiss for the first time.
All right, kid. You stick to your father like glue...
and make sure he takes her to that dance.
George, buddy.
Remember that girl I introduced you to? Lorraine?
What areyou writing?
Uh, stories.
Science fiction stories about visitors...
coming down to Earth from other planets.
Get outta town! I didn't know you did anything creative.
- Let me read some. - Oh, no, no, no, no.
I never-- I never let anybody read my stories.
Why not?
Well, what ifthey didn't like them?
What ifthey told me I was no good?
I guess that would be pretty hard for somebody to understand.
Uh, no. No, not hard at all.
So anyway, George, about Lorraine...
she really likes you.
She told me to tell you that she wants you to ask her...
-to the Enchantment UnderThe Sea dance. -Really?
Oh, yeah. All you gotta do is go over there and ask her.
What, right here, right now in the cafeteria? What if she said no?
I don't know ifl could take that kind of a rejection.
Besides, I think she'd rather go with somebody else.
Uh, who?
Biff.
- Little kiss. Come on. - Come on. Leave.
[Biff] You want it. You knowyou want it.
You know you want me to give it to you.
- Shut your filthy mouth. I'm not that kind of girl. - Ooh.
Maybe you are and you just don't know it yet.
Get your meat hooks off of me.
You heardher. She saidgetyour meat hooks...
off.
Uh, please.
So what's it to you, butthead?
You know, you been lookin' for a--
[ Students ] Fight, fight, fight.
Since you're new here, uh, I'm gonna cutyou a break...
today.
So why don'tyou make like a tree...
and get outta here.
[Marty] George!
Why do you keep following me around?
Look, George. I'm telling you, George...
ifyou do not ask Lorraine to that dance...
- I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life. - But I can't go to the dance.
I'll miss my favorite television program, Science Fiction Theater.
Yeah, but, George, Lorraine wants to go with you.
- Give her a break. - Look, I'm just not ready...
to ask Lorraine out to the dance.
And not you or anybody else on this planet...
is gonna make me change my mind.

Please, Marty, don't tell me. No man should know too much about his own destiny.
- You don't understand. - I do understand.
Ifl know too much about my future, I could endanger my existence...
just as you have endangered yours.
You-- You're right.
Now, let me showyou my plan for sending you home.
Please excuse the crudity ofthis model.
I didn't have time to build it to scale or to paint it.
- It's good. - Oh, thankyou. Thankyou.
Okay, now, we run some industrial-strength electrical cable...
from the top ofthe 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 toward the cable, accelerating to 88 miles per hour.
According to the flyer, at precisely 1 0:04 p.m....
this Saturday night, lightning 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 1 985.
All right, now. Watch this.
You wind up the car and release it.
I'll simulate the lightning.
- [ Electrical Humming ] -[Winder Clicking]

Release.

Mom-- Lorraine.
Uh, how did you know I was here?
I followed you.
Oh, uh, this is my, uh, Doc-- My uncle...
Doc... Brown.
- Hi. - Hi.
[ Sniffles ] Uh...
Marty, this may seem a little forward...
but I was kind of wondering if--
i-ifyou'd ask me to the...
Enchantment UnderThe Sea dance on Saturday?
Uh, you mean--
You mean nobody's asked you?
No.
Notyet.
- What about-- What about George? - George McFly?
Oh, he-- He's kind of cute and all, but, uh, not--
Well...
I think a man should be strong...
so he can stand up for himself...
and protect the woman he loves.
Don'tyou?
Yeah.
I still don't understand.
How am I supposed to go to the dance with her...
ifshe's already going to the dance with you?
Well, because, George, she wants to go with you.
She just doesn't know ityet.
That's whywe gotta show her thatyou, George McFly, are a fighter.
You're somebodywho's gonna stand up foryourself...
somebodywho's gonna protect her.
Yeah, but I've never picked a fight in my entire life.
Look, you're not gonna be picking a fight, Dad--
dad-dad-daddio.
You're coming to her rescue, right?
Okay, let's go over the plan again. 8:55, whereyou gonna be?
- I'm gonna be at the dance. - Right. And where am I gonna be?
You're gonna be in the carwith her.
Right, so around 9:00, she's gonna get very angrywith me.
Why is she gonna get angrywith you?
Well, because, George, nice girls get angry...
when guys take advantage ofthem.
Oh! You mean you're gonna go touch her on her--
No. No, George, look.
It's just an act, right?
Okay. So, 9:00, you're strolling through the parking lot.
You see us, uh, struggling in the car.
You walk up, you open the door and you say--
Your line, George.
Oh! Uh--
Hey, you, getyour damn hands offher!
- You really think I oughta swear? - Yes, definitely.
Goddamn it, George, swear.
Okay. So nowyou come up. You punch me in the stomach.
I'm out for the count, right?
And you and Lorraine live happily ever after.
Oh, you make it sound so easy.
I just-- I wish I wasn't so scared.
George, there's nothing to be scared of.
All it takes is a little self-confidence.
You know, ifyou putyour mind to it...
you can accomplish anything.
