BACK TO THE FUTURE

supervisor, and I'm afraid I'm not very good at confrontations.

Marty: The car, Dad, I mean He wrecked it, totalled it. I needed that car tomorrow night, Dad, I mean do you have any idea how important this was, do you have any clue?

George: I know, and all I could say is I'm sorry.

At the dinner table. George and Marty are sitting there. Also at the table is Marty's mom LORRAINE, 47. The years have not been kind to her. Marty's brother DAVE is also present, wearing a Burger King uniform, and completing the family is his sister LINDA, who's a bit plump and not very attractive. The TV is on and The Honeymooners is showing.

George: Believe me, Marty, you're better off not having to worry about all the aggravation and headaches of playing at that dance.

Dave: He's absolutely right, Marty. the last thing you need is headaches.

Lorraine: Kids, we're gonna have to eat this cake by ourselves, Uncle Joey didn't make parole again.

She drops the cake on the table. It says Welcome Home Joey.

Lorraine: I think it would be nice, if you all dropped him a line.

Marty: Uncle Jailbird Joey?

Dave: He's your brother, Mom.

Linda: Yeah, I think it's a major embarrassment having an uncle in prison.

Lorraine: We all make mistakes in life, children.

Dave looks at his watch.

Dave: God dammit, I'm late.

Lorraine: David, watch your mouth. You come here and kiss your mother before you go, come here.

Dave: C'mon, Mom, make it fast, I'll miss my bus.

He kisses his mom and walks over to George.

Dave: Hey see you tonight, Pop. Woo, time to change that oil.

Dave leaves.

Linda: Hey Marty, I'm not your answering service, but while you were outside pouting about the car, Jennifer Parker called you twice.

Lorraine: I don't like her, Marty. Any girl who calls a boy is just asking for trouble.

Linda: Oh Mom, there's nothing wrong with calling a boy.

Lorraine: I think it's terrible. Girls chasing boys. When I was your age I never chased a boy, or called a boy, or sat in a parked car with a boy.

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

Lorraine: Well, it will just happen. (Smiles) Like the way I met your father.

Linda: That was so stupid, Grandpa hit him with the car.

Lorraine: It was meant to be. Anyway, if Grandpa hadn't hit him, then none of you would have been born.

Linda: Yeah, well, I still don't understand what Dad was doing in the middle of the street.

Lorraine: What was it, George, bird watching?

George hasn't been listening. He turns to his wife.

George: What Lorraine, what?

Lorraine: Anyway, Grandpa hit him with the car and brought him into the house. He seemed so helpless, like a little lost puppy, my heart just went out for him.

Linda: Yeah Mom, we know, you've told us this story a million times. You felt sorry for him so you decided to go with him to The Fish Under The Sea Dance.

Lorraine: No, it was The Enchantment Under The Sea Dance. Our first date. It was the night of that terrible thunderstorm, remember George?

George is still watching TV.

Lorraine: Your father kissed me for the very first time on that dance floor. It was then I realised I was going to spend the rest of my life with him.

OCTOBER 26, 1985

Music: Time Bomb Town by Lindsay Buckingham (playing on Marty's radio)

Marty's room. He's asleep. Suddenly the 'phone rings, waking Marty up. He answers it.

Marty: Hello.

Doc: (v.o) Marty, you didn't fall asleep, did you?

Marty looks at his watch.

Marty: Uh Doc, uh no. No, don't be silly.

Doc: (v.o) Listen, this is very important, I forgot my video camera, could you stop by my place and pick it up on your way to the mall?

Marty: Um, yeah, I'm on my way.

Cut to outside Twin Pines Mall. Marty skateboards down into the Mall. Inside the parking lot is a big white van, Dr E Brown Enterprises. A dog, EINSTEIN, is sitting by it. Marty goes towards him.

Marty: Einstein, hey Einstein, where's the Doc, boy, huh?

The doors of the van open, and smoke comes out. It's followed by a DeLorean sports car, reversing back out of the van and into the parking lot. The license plate reads OUTATIME. DR EMMETT L DOC BROWN then gets out of the car. He's an elderly man, aged 65, and has long, white hair. He's wearing a radiation suit and looks very much your typical wild scientist.

Marty: Doc?

Doc: Marty, you made it!

Marty: Yeah!

Doc: Welcome to my latest experiment. It's the one I've been waiting for all my life.

Marty: Um, well it's a DeLorean, right?

Doc: Bare with me, Marty, all of your questions will be answered. Roll tape...

Marty: OK.

Doc: ...and we'll proceed.

Marty: Doc, is that a de...

Doc: Never mind that now, never mind that now.

Marty: All right, I'm ready.

Marty starts filming Doc.

Doc: Good evening, I'm Dr Emmett Brown. I'm standing on the parking lot of Twin Pines Mall. It's Saturday morning, October 26th 1985, 1.18am and this is temporal experiment number one. C'mon, Einie.

During the following Einstein gets into the DeLorean. He has a clock attached to his collar.

Doc: Hey, hey boy, get in there, that a boy, in you go, sit down, put your seatbelt on, that's it!

Marty: Whoa, whoa, whoa, OK.

Doc: Please note that Einstein's clock is in complete synchronisation with my control watch. Got it?

Both clocks - the one in Doc's hands and the one around Einstein's neck - say 1.19.

Marty: Right, check, Doc.

Doc: Good. Have a good trip Einstein, watch your head.

Doc shuts the car door and gets out a remote control for the car. Amongst other things it has a digital speedometer on it.

Marty: You have this thing hooked up to the car?

Doc: Watch this.

Marty: Yeah, OK, got it.
