Well, bring her along. This concerns her, too. Doc, what are you talking about? What happens to us in the future? Do we become assholes, or something? Oh, no. You and Jennifer turn out fine. It's your kids, Marty. Something's gotta be done about your kids. ENGINE WHINES You'd better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88. Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.

Jennifer, um, I don't know how to tell you this, but... you're in a time machine. And this is the year 2015? October 21st 2015. God, so, like, you weren't kidding. Marty, we can actually see our future. Doc, now, you said we were married, right? (STAMMERS) Was it a big wedding? Marty, we're gonna see our wedding. Wow. I'm gonna be able to see my wedding dress. < Wow. I wonder where we live. I bet it's a big house with lots of kids` DEVICE WHISTLES Doc, what the hell are you doing? It's just a sleep-inducing alpha-rhythm generator. She asked too many questions. No one should know much about their future. She'll think it was all a dream. Why did you bring her? I had to. She saw the time machine. I couldn't leave her with that information. Don't worry. She's not essential to my plan. Well, you're the doc, Doc. Here's our exit.

I gotta check this out, Doc. All in good time. We're on a tight schedule. Tell me about my future. I know I make it big. Do I become a rich rock star?

Your kid?! Great Scott, the sleep inducer. I was afraid of this. I used it on Jennifer so there wasn't enough power to knock her out for the full hour. Doc, Doc, look at this. It's changing. I was framed! Yes! Yes, of course. Because this hoverboard incident has now occurred, Griff now goes to jail. That robbery will never take place. Thus, history, future history, has now been altered, and this is the proof. Marty, we've succeeded. Let's go get Jennifer and go home. Hi, buddy. What's this? It's a souvenir. 50 years of sports statistics. Hardly recreational reading material, Marty. Doc, what's the harm... in bringing some info on the future? We could place a couple of bets. I didn't invent the time machine... for financial gain. The intent here is to gain a clear perception of humanity ` where we've been, where we're going. Perhaps even an answer to that universal question, why. Doc, I'm all for that. What's wrong with making a few bucks on the side? I am going to put this in the trash. Great Scott!

No, that could result in an` (GASPS) Great Scott! Jennifer could encounter her future self! The consequences could be disastrous! Doc, what do you mean? I foresee two possibilities: one, coming face to face with herself, she'll pass out. Or two, the encounter could unravel the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe! That's a worst-case scenario. The destruction could be limited to merely our own galaxy. That's a relief (!) Let's go. I sure hope we find Jennifer before she finds herself. The skyway's jammed. It'll take for ever to get there. This stays here. I didn't invent the time machine to win at gambling. It's for travelling through time. I know, I know. So, Doc Brown invented a time machine.

What is it? What's the matter, Doc? For a moment I thought I saw a taxi following us. I can't believe this window's still broken. When the repairman called Daddy a chicken, Daddy threw him out of the house. Look how worn out this is. Your father's biggest problem is that he loses all self-control when someone calls him chicken. How many times have we heard it, George? 'Mom, I can't let them think I'm chicken.' You're right. You're right. About 30 years ago your father tried to prove he wasn't chicken and had an automobile accident. You mean with the Rolls-Royce? WHISPERS: Automobile accident? All right, Einie, let's find Jennifer.

Mom, I want to know one thing. Where's my father? Where's George McFly? Marty,... George, your father, is in the same place he's been for 12 years. Oak Park Cemetery. DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS No. No. This can't be happening. March 15th 1973. No! Oh, please, God, no! No, please, God. Please, God, no, this can't be happening. This can't be happening. This can't be` I'm afraid it is happening. All of it. Doc? When I learned about your father, I figured you'd come here. Do you know what happened to him? Do you know what happened... on March 15th 1973. Yes, Marty, I know. I went to the library to make sense of the madness. The place was boarded up so I broke in and borrowed some newspapers. I don't get it. How can all this be happening? It's like we're in hell. No, but hell can't be much worse. EINSTEIN WHINES Oh, Einie, I'm sorry, boy, the lab is an awful mess. Attaboy. Obviously the time continuum has been disrupted, creating this new temporal-event sequence... resulting in this alternate reality. English, Doc. Here, here, here. Let me illustrate. Imagine that this line represents time. This is the present, 1985, the future, and the past. Prior to this point in time, somewhere in the past, the time line skewed into this tangent... creating an alternate 1985. Alternate to you, me and Einstein,... but reality for everyone else. Recognise this? It's the bag the sports book came in. I know, because the receipt was still inside. I found them in the time machine... along with this. It's the top of Biff's cane. I mean old Biff, from the future. Correct. It was in the time machine because Biff was in the time machine with the sports almanac. Holy shit. You see, while we were in the future... Biff got the sports book, went back in time and gave the book to himself in the past. It says right here that Biff made his first million betting on a horse race in 1958. He wasn't just lucky. He knew, because he had all the results in the sports almanac. Look at his pocket with a magnifying glass. The almanac. Son of a bitch stole my idea! He must have been listening when` It's my fault. This is my fault. If I hadn't bought that damn book... none of this would have ever happened. It's all in the past. You mean the future. Whatever. It demonstrates precisely how time travel can be misused and why the time machine must be destroyed... after we straighten all of this out. So we go back to the future and stop Biff stealing the time machine. We can't, because if we travel into the future of this point in time... it will be the future of this reality in which Biff is corrupt and powerful and married to your mother. And in which THIS has happened to me No, our only chance to repair the present is in the past, at the point where the timeline skewed. In order to put the universe back as we remember it... and get back to our reality, we have to find out the exact date and circumstances... of how, where and when young Biff got his hands on that sports almanac. I'll ask him. Bulletproof vest. Great flick. Great friggin' flick. The guy is brilliant. Hey, what the hell's goin'`? Hey! What the hell are you doin' in here? Party's over, Biff. Sorry, ladies. How'd you get past my security downstairs? There's a little matter we need to talk about. Money, right? Forget it. No, not money. Grays... Sports... Almanac. You heard him, girls. Party's over. Start talkin', kid. What else do you know about that book? First, tell me how you got it. How, where, and when. All right. Take a seat. Sit down! November 12th 1955, that was when. November 12th 1955. That was the date I went back` That... was the date of the famous Hill Valley lightning storm. You know your history. Very good. I'll never forget that Saturday. I'd picked my car up from the shop cos I'd rolled it in a drag race. I thought you crashed into a manure truck. How do you know about that? My father told me about it. < Your father? Before he died. Oh yeah, right. So there I was, minding my own business, and this crazy old codger with a cane shows up. He says he's my distant relative. I don't see any resemblance. So he says, 'How would you like to be rich?' So I say, 'Sure.' So he lays this book on me. He says this book will tell me the outcome of every sporting event... till the end of the century. All I have to do is bet on the winner and I'll never lose. So I say, 'What's the catch?' He says, 'No catch, just keep it a secret.' After that, he disappeared. I never saw him again. And he told me one more thing. He said some day a crazy wild-eyed scientist or a kid may turn up asking about that book. And if that ever happens... (COCKS PISTOL) Funny, I never thought it would be you. Biff, you're forgetting one thing. What the hell is that?! GUNSHOT You're dead, you little son of a bitch. GUNSHOT GUNSHOT ALL YELL Go ahead, kid, jump. A suicide will be nice and neat. What if I don't? Lead poisoning. What about the police, Biff? They'll match the bullet with that gun. Kid, I OWN the police. Besides, they couldn't match up the bullet that killed your old man. You son of a` CLICK! I suppose it's poetic justice. Two McFlys with the same gun. Idiot. What the hell? Ooh! Nice shot, Doc. You're not going to believe this. We gotta go back to 1955. I don't believe it. That's right, Doc. November 12th 1955. > Unbelievable that old Biff could have chosen that date. It could mean that point in time inherently contains a cosmic significance ` almost as if it were the junction point for the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence. Damn, gotta fix that thing. All right, time circuits on. What do you mean, 'Time circuits on'? Doc, we're not goin' back now. Yep. > What about Jennifer and Einstein? We can't just leave them here. Assuming we succeed, this 1985 will be turned back into the real 1985,.. instantly transforming around Jennifer and Einie. They'll be fine and have no memory of this horrible place. Doc,... what if we don't succeed? We must succeed. This is heavy, Doc. It's like I was just here yesterday. You were here yesterday. Amazing, isn't it? All right. Sunrise should be in 22 minutes. You go into town. I'll track down young Biff and tail him. Sometime today old Biff will show up. You must not interfere. We must let old Biff believe he's succeeded so he'll leave 1955 and bring the DeLorean to the future. Once old Biff is gone, grab the almanac. Remember, both of our futures depend on this. You don't have to remind me of that. Here's some binoculars, and a walkie-talkie to keep in contact. I'll stay here and repair the time circuit. That way we don't risk anyone else stealing the time machine,... and I won't risk accidentally running into my other self. Your other self? Yes. There are now two of me and two of you here. The other me is Dr Emmett Brown from 1955 ` the other me that helps the other you get back to 1985. Remember the lightning bolt at the clock tower? Yeah. That doesn't happen till tonight, so don't run into YOUR other self. Let me give you some money. We have to be prepared for all monetary possibilities. Get yourself some '50s clothes. Something inconspicious. Doc, come in, this is Marty. Over. Roger, Marty, this is Doc. Are you there? Doc, I'm at the address. It's the only Tannen in the book, but it looks like some old lady lives here. Biff! Yeah? Where are you goin', Biff? I'm goin' to get my car, Grandma. When are you comin' back? I want you to rub my toes some more. Shut up, you old bag. KIDS: Give us our ball back. What ball? That ball. What ball are you talking about? Is this your ball? KIDS: Yeah. Do you want it back? Go get it! (LAUGHS) Doc, it is Biff's house. I'm on him. # Mr Sandman,... # bring me a dream. # Make her complexion like peaches and cream. # Give her two lips... Looking good. Hey, Biff, she's all fixed up, but I couldn't get her started. You got some kinda kill switch on this thing? You just gotta have the right touch. Nobody can start this car but me. The bill comes to $302` 300 bucks? 300 bucks for a couple of dents. No, that's bullshit. No, it was horse shit. I had to pay old man Jones 80 bucks to haul it away. Jones probably resold it. I should get something for that. Go inside, call old man Jones. It's 300 bucks! If I catch the guy who caused this, I'll break his neck. The manure. I remember that. Four cans for a $300 job? BOTH ARGUE Oof. Argh. GIRLS GIGGLE EXCITEDLY Oh, it's so perfect, Lorraine. Ooh, you're gonna look so good. That's a nice dress, Lorraine, but I think you'd look better wearing nothing at all. Biff, why don't you take a long walk off a short pier? Lorraine, you know there's that dance at school tonight, I figure I'd give you the honour... of goin' with the best-looking guy in school. I'm busy. Doin' what? Washin' my hair. That's as funny as a screen door on a battleship. Screen door on a submarine, you dork Biff, somebody already asked me to the dance. That bug George McFly? I'm goin' with Calvin Klein, OK? Calvin Klein? No, it's not OK. You're goin' with me, understand? Get your goobies off of me. When are you gonna get it through your skull that you're my girl? I wouldn't be your girl even if you had a million dollars. Ah! Yes, you will. It's you and me, Lorraine. It's meant to be. I'm gonna marry you some day, Lorraine. Some day you'll be my wife. You always did have a way with women Get the hell outta my car, old man. You wanna marry that girl, I can help make it happen. Who are you, Mr Lonely Hearts? Just get in the car, butthead. Who are you calling butthead, butthead? How do you know how to do that? Nobody can start this car but me. Just get in the car, Tannen. It is your lucky day. Hey, hey! Hey, where are you goin', old man? This cost me 300 bucks. Would you shut up about the car? And another thing, how do you know where I live? Let's just say we're related, Biff. That being the case, I got a present for ya. It's something that'll make you rich. You wanna be rich, don't ya? Yeah, sure, that's rich. You're gonna make me rich? You see this book? This book tells the future; the results of every major sports event till the end of the century. Football, baseball, horse races, boxing. The information in here is worth millions, and I'm giving it to you. That's very nice, thank you. Now, why don't you make like a tree and get outta here? It's leave, you idiot. Make like a tree and leave. You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong. All right, then, leave, and take your book with ya. Don't you get it? You could make a fortune with this book. Let me show you. RADIO: UCLA trails 17 to 16. Only 18 seconds left in this game. I'd say it's all over for UCLA. Bet you a million bucks UCLA wins it 19 to 17. What are you, deaf?

I told you, it's in this book. All you got to do is bet on the winner and you'll never lose. All right, I'll take a look at it. You damn fool! Never leave this book laying around.

One day a kid and a crazy, wild-eyed old man who claims to be a scientist is gonna ask for it. I'm trapped. Doc. Doc, come in, Doc. Marty, what's the report? Biff's gone. He's got the book. The old man's gone too. I'm locked in Biff's garage. Get me the hell out of here. The address is 1809 Mason Street. I can't take the DeLorean out in the daylight, but I'll get there. Doc, wait, Doc, Doc. Perfect (!) Biff, Biff, where are you goin' now? > I told you, Grandma, I'm goin' to the dance. The dance.

The book is on the dashboard. I'll grab it when we get to the school. Marty, you must be very careful... not to run into your other self. My other self? Yes. Remember, your mother is at that same dance with you. Right. This could get heavy. Marty, you must not let your other self see you. The consequences could be disastrous. Excuse me, sir. (GASPS) Yes, you with the hat. Who, me? Yes. Be a pal, hand me a five-eighths wrench out of the toolbox? Five-eighths? Don't you mean three-quarters? Why, you're right. I presume you're conducting some sort of weather experiment. That's right. How did you know that? Oh, I happen to have had a little experience in this area. Yes. I'm hoping to see some lightning tonight, but no rain. There's going to be plenty of rain, wind, thunder and lightning; one hell of a storm. Thanks, nice talking to you. Maybe we'll bump into each other again in the future. Or in the past. '50S MUSIC PLAYS Doc, Doc, come in. SAXOPHONE SOLO PLAYS < Where's that punk Calvin Klein anyway?
