In honor of Back to the Future Day (October 21, 2015, the day in the future that Doc, Marty & Jennifer travel to in Back to the Future Part II), I though I would share this.
In February 2000, I found the script for the movie Back to the Future on the internet, and decided to adapt it into something my friends and I could film. This was significant as I had recently become obsessed with Back to the Future, and had realized that the year 2000 was halfway between 1985 (the “present” in the movies) and 2015 (the “future” in the movies. The story was set in my hometown of Rainier, Oregon in the year 2015, and the DeLorean was replaced by a Ford Tempo, because that’s what I had. To reduce the cast to a minimum, Marty’s girlfriend Jennifer was Doc’s daughter, and once in the past (1995) Marty had to help Doc meet his wife, Clara. If necessary, Jennifer and Clara could have been played by the same person.
Ford Tempo Time Machine
We never actually made the movie. We did convert the Ford Tempo into a time machine that summer (the summer after our senior year of high school), but then the Tempo was totaled in a rear-end accident, and by the time it was replaced the summer was almost over.
Why the movie was never made
Anyway, here is my adapted script. Enjoy!
Back to the Future
by Robert West
Based on “Back to the Future” by Robert Zemekis & Bob Gale
Scene 1:
Marty opens door to Doc’s house. He drops the key under the mat and walks in.
Marty: Hey, Doc? Doc. Hello, anybody home? (shuts the door) Jennifer? Is anybody here? (sees clocks at 6:58) Whoa, I got here early. Hey, Doc? What's going on? (telephone rings. Marty answers it) Yo.
Doc: Marty, is that you?
Marty: Hey, hey, Doc, where are you?
Doc: Thank god I found you. Listen, can you meet me at the lower parking lot of the Briarcliff Reform School tonight at 1:15? I've made a major breakthrough, I'll need your assistance.
Marty: Wait a minute, wait a minute. 1:15 in the morning?
Doc: Yeah.
Marty: What's going on? Where are you?
Doc: Working. Don't forget, now, 1:15 a.m., Briarcliff Reform School. (clocks strike 7:00) Are those my clocks chiming in?
Marty: Yeah, it's 7:00.
Doc: They're late. My experiment worked. They're all exactly fourty-five minutes slow.
Marty: Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me that it's 7:45?
Doc: Precisely.
Marty: Damn. I'm gonna be late for work.
Marty hangs up the phone and goes outside. He gets into his car and drives off.
Scene 2:
Marty gets to work.
Marty: Hey, Jennifer.
Jennifer: Hi, Marty.
Marty: Jennifer, do you know what Doc’s working on?
Jennifer: I never know anything about my dad’s experiments. He’s been really busy with this one though.
Marty: You know, I’d really like to take you out on a date.
Jennifer: I know, and I’d really like that, but you know Dad won’t let me go out with you.
Marty: I don’t understand that. I help him with all his experiments. He knows he can trust me.
Jennifer: I think he just wants to make sure I don’t end up like Mom. He blames himself for her being killed in that car wreck. He thinks things would have been different if he had been with her. In fact, tonight will be the tenth anniversary of her death.
Marty: I wonder if what he’s doing tonight has anything to do with that.
Jennifer: What?
Marty: Doc wants me to meet him at the reform school at 1:15 in the morning.
Jennifer: That’s what time my mom died.
Marty: Wierd.
Scene 3:
Doc and Jennifer are having dinner at their house.
Jennifer: Dad, what are you and Marty doing tonight?
Doc: Just an experiment.
Jennifer: What kind of experiment?
Doc: Just an experiment I’ve been planning for a while.
Jennifer: Why are you doing it at the same time Mom died?
Doc: It’s really just a coincidence. But if this experiment works, our lives will change.
Scene 4:
Marty is asleep at his house. The telephone rings. Marty answers it.
Marty: Hello.
Doc: Marty, you didn't fall asleep, did you?
Marty: Uh Doc, uh no. No, don't be silly.
Doc: Listen, this is very important, I forgot my digital recorder, could you stop by my place and pick it up on your way to the school?
Marty: Um, yeah, I'm on my way.
Marty hangs up the phone and gets up.
Marty’s car goes by sign for “Genesis Nuclear Waste Reclamation Plant.”
Marty’s car comes into the school.
Scene 5:
Marty’s car stops in parking lot. The lot is empty except for an “energy converter.” Marty gets out with the “digital recorder” and looks around. He checks his watch.
The Tempo comes around a corner at the other end of the lot. It comes toward Marty and stops right in front of him. Doc gets out.
Marty: Doc
Doc: Marty, you made it.
Marty: Yeah.
Doc: Welcome to my latest experiment. It's the big one; the one I've been waiting for for years.
Marty: Um, well it's a Ford Tempo, right?
Doc: Bare with me, Marty, all of your questions will be answered. (he points to the recorder) Action.
Marty: Doc, is that a de-
Doc: Never mind that now, never mind that now.
Marty raises the recorder.
Marty: Alright, I'm ready.
Doc: Good evening, I'm Doctor Emmett Brown. I'm standing on the lower parking lot of Briarcliff Reform School. It's Saturday morning, October 26, 2015, 1:18 a.m. and this is temporal experiment number one.
Doc holds up a watch and points to a clock in the Tempo.
Marty: (getting a better view) Whoa, whoa, okay.
Doc: Please note that the car's clock is in complete synchronization with my control watch.
Marty: Right check, Doc.
Doc takes out a remote control and points it at the Tempo.
Marty: You have that thing hooked up to the car?
The Tempo starts. It turns around, races to the other end of the parking lot, and turns around again.
Doc: Watch this. Not me, the car, the car. If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits forty-eight miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious shit.
The Tempo starts coming back toward them.
Doc: Watch this, watch this.
The Tempo disappears right in front of them.
Doc: Ha, what did I tell you, forty-eight miles per hour. The temporal displacement occurred at exactly 1:20 a.m. and zero seconds.
Marty: Jesus Christ, Doc. Jesus Christ, Doc, you disintegrated the car.
Doc: Calm down, Marty, I didn't disintegrate anything. The molecular structure of the car is still completely intact.
Marty: Then where the hell is it?
Doc: The more appropriate question is: “When the hell is it?” You see, I sent it into the future. One minute into the future to be exact. And at exactly 1:21 a.m. and zero seconds we should catch up with it.
Marty: Wait a minute, wait a minute, Doc, are you telling me that you built a time machine out of a Tempo.
Doc: Well I spent all my money trying to get this thing to work. The Tempo was the best car I could afford. Besides- look out.
The Tempo reappears and comes to a stop. Doc opens the door.
Doc: Ha. The car's clock is exactly one minute behind mine and still ticking. It skipped over that minute to instantly arrive at this moment in time. Come here, I'll show you how it works. (Marty comes over with the recorder and Doc gets in) First, you turn the time circuits on. (He turns them on) This readout tells you where you're going. You input the destination time on this keypad. Say, you wanna see the signing of the declaration of independence, (Doc inputs date) or witness the birth or Christ. (Doc inputs another date) Here's a red-letter date in history, (Doc inputs another date) November 5, 1995. Yes, of course, November 5, 1995.
Marty: What, I don't get it. What happened?
Doc: That was the day I met my wife, Clara. I remember it vividly. I was in town buying some parts for my newest invention when I saw her. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and I knew, before I even spoke to her, that I would marry her one day.
Doc pulls out a picture and hands it to Marty.
Marty: Wow. She looks just like Jennifer. So, what happened?
Doc: I walked up to her and introduced myself. I ended up asking her to dinner. We kissed for the first time that very night. (sighs) Now she’s gone, killed in a car crash ten years ago today. Since then, I’ve devoted my life to creating this. (points to flux capacitor) This is what makes time travel possible. The flux capacitor.
Marty: The flux capacitor.
Doc: It's taken me almost ten years and my entire family fortune to realize this day. (he gets out) My god has it been that long. Things have certainly changed around here. The government still provided public schools for everyone back then. It’s too bad you and Jennifer couldn’t have benefitted from that.
Marty: This is uh, this is heavy duty, Doc, this is great. Uh, does it run on regular unleaded gasoline?
Doc: No, this sucker's electrical. But I need an energy converter to generate the 50000 volts that I need to recharge the flux capacitor from any place or any time if there’s no electricity nearby.
Marty: Doc, civilians can’t buy energy converters. Did you rip that off?
Doc: Of course, from an anarchist. He wanted me to turn it into something that could overload the power plant, so I took his energy converter and in turn gave him a phony casing full of used Intel computer parts.
Marty: Jesus.
Doc plugs the energy converter into the car and turns in on for a moment, then turns it back off again and unplugs it.
Doc: Don't you lose those chips now, we'll need a record. Roll ‘em. I, Doctor Emmett Brown, am about to embark on an historic journey. Wait a minute, what am I thinking? I almost forgot to bring the energy converter. How did I ever expect to get back, one charge, one trip. I must be out of my mind.
Another car enters the parking lot.
Doc: Oh my god, he found me, I don't know how but he found me. Run for it, Marty.
Marty: Who, who?
Doc: Who do you think, the anarchist.
Driver points a laser gun out the window.
Marty: Holy shit.
Driver shoots Doc.
Marty: No! Bastard!
Driver points laser gun at Marty. Marty dives into the Tempo and tries to drive off. Anarchist follows him. Marty drives toward exit.
Tempo breaks through closed gates. Sign reads, “Rainier High School.”
Marty: That was close.
Tempo stops suddenly. Marty gets out and looks at sign that reads “Genesis Indoor Sports Center: Opening Soon.”
Marty: What the hell?
Marty gets back in the car and looks at readout.
Marty: Alright, alright, okay McFly, get a grip on yourself. All I have to do is set it to 2015 (he enters date on keypad) and get up to forty-eight and everything’ll be fine.
Tempo drives down the road.
Marty: Let’s try that again.
Tempo goes back the other way.
Marty: This is nuts. I’ve gotta find Doc.
Scene 6:
Early morning: Tempo drives up to Doc’s house. Marty gets out and goes up to the door. He knocks. Doc answers the door with “mind-reading helmet” on.
Marty: Doc?
Doc: Don't say a word.
Marty: Doc.
Doc pulls him in and shuts the door.
Doc: I don't wanna know your name. I don't wanna know anything about you.
Marty: Listen, Doc.
Doc: Quiet.
Marty: Doc, Doc, it's me, Marty.
Doc: Don't tell me anything.
Marty: Doc, you gotta help-
Doc sticks electrode to Marty’s head.
Doc: Quiet, quiet. I'm gonna read your thoughts. Let's see now, you've come from a great distance?
Marty: Yeah, exactly.
Doc: Don't tell me. Uh, you want me to buy a subscription to the Daily News?
Marty: No.
Doc: Not a word, not a word, not a word now. Quiet, uh, donations, you want me to make a donation to the Salvation Army?
Marty pulls off the electrode.
Marty: Doc, I'm from the future. I came here in a time machine that you invented. Now, I need your help to get back to the year 2015.
Doc: My god, do you know what this means? It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all.
Doc takes off the helmet.
Marty: Doc, you gotta help me. You were the only one who knows how your time machine works.
Doc: Time machine, I haven't invented any time machine.
Marty: Okay, alright, I'll prove it to you. Look at my driver's license, expires 2017. Look at my birthday, for crying out load I haven't even been born yet. I'm telling the truth, Doc, you gotta believe me.
Doc: So tell me, future boy, who's president of the United States in 2015?
Marty: Jesse Ventura.
Doc: Jesse Ventura, the wrestler? Then who's vice president, Steve Austin? (starts pushing Marty toward the door) I suppose Tonya Harding is the first lady.
Marty: Whoa, wait, Doc.
Doc: And Michael Jordan is secretary of the Treasury.
Marty: Look, you gotta listen to me.
Doc: I’ve had enough practical jokes for one evening. Good night, future boy.
Doc pushes Marty out the door and starts to close it, then notices the Tempo.
Doc: Great scott.
Marty: I told you so. It got me here, but I can’t get it to take me back.
Doc: So, I finally invent something that works.
Marty: Bet your ass it works.
Doc: Well, now we gotta find out what’s wrong and fix it. We've gotta get you home.
Scene 7:
Marty has the digital recorder hooked up to Doc’s TV and is working on it. Doc is watching him. Marty gets it to work.
Marty: Okay Doc, this is it.
TV Doc: Good evening, I'm Doctor Emmett Brown. I'm standing on the lower parking lot of-
Doc: Why that's me, look at me, I'm an old man. (Marty hits fast forward) Thank god I still got my hair.
Marty: Whoa, this is it, this is the part coming up, Doc. (Marty stops fast forward)
TV Doc: No, this sucker's electrical. But I need an energy converter to generate the 50000 volts I need to-
Doc: What did I just say?
Marty rewinds, then plays it again.
TV Doc: No, this sucker's electrical. But I need an energy converter to generate the 50000 volts that I need to recharge the flux capacitor-
Doc: Great scott. No wonder the car won’t take you back to the future. It doesn’t have enough power to. Where’s this energy converter?
Marty: (smacks his forehead) I left it in the future.
Doc: Well then, we need an energy source to recharge the car. The easiest way to get 50000 volts is from overhead wires.
Marty: So, we just hook the car up to the wires?
Doc: No. If we leave the car hooked up for very long, we could overload the electrical system. It has to be a momentary contact. We have to find a place where you can get the time machine up to speed and then come into contact with the electricity. It’ll take a little time to get things set up. Marty, tonight, we’re sending you back to the future.
Marty: Okay, alright, tonight’s good. I could spend a day in 1995. I could hang out, you could show me around.
Doc: Marty, that's completely out of the question, you must not leave this house. you must not see anybody or talk to anybody. Anything you do could have serious repercussions on future events. Do you understand?
Marty: Yeah, sure, okay.
Doc: Marty, you interacted with anybody else today, besides me?
Marty: No, Doc, Wait a minute, Doc, You have to go into town today.
Doc: Town? What for?
Marty: You just do.
Doc: Marty, if we’re going to send you back to the future tonight, I have to work on getting things set up.
Marty: Doc, you’re supposed to meet your wife today.
Doc: My wife?
Marty: Yeah Doc. Your future wife. I mean, the whole reason you built the time machine was to go back in time to keep her from being killed in that car wreck.
Doc: Shhh. Don’t tell me any more. I know too much already. Great scott, Marty, you’re right. I do have to go into town today. If I don’t meet her, I may never build the time machine. Do you know what she looks like?
Marty: Yeah, Doc, you gave me a picture. (Marty takes out the picture and looks at it) What the hell?
Doc: What is it?
Marty: She’s gone. She’s not in the picture.
Doc: (looks at the picture) Of course. If we never meet, this picture will never be taken. Marty, you’ll have to come into town with me and point her out. If I never meet her, you can’t go back to the future.
Scene 8:
Doc and Marty are in town looking for Clara.
Doc: Where is she, Marty?
Marty: I don’t know, Doc.
Doc looks around.
Doc: Wow.
Marty: What is it, Doc?
Doc: I don’t know who I’m supposed to marry, but there’s just something about her. She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
Marty: Doc, that’s her. Wow, she really does look just like Jennifer.
Doc: Who’s Jennifer?
Marty: She’s your daughter, Doc.
Doc: My daughter. Great scott. Alright Marty, what do I do?
Marty: Just go up to her and introduce yourself.
Doc: Just like that?
Marty: Yeah.
Doc: Alright. (he walks over to Clara) Hello.
Clara: (looks up and smiles) Hello.
Doc: How are you today?
Clara: Pretty good. Thanks.
Doc: You know, I’ve never seen you around town before. Did you just move here?
Clara: Yeah, just the other day.
Doc: Welcome to Rainier. My name’s Emmett Brown.
Clara: I’m Clara. Clara Clayton.
Doc: It’s a pleasure to meet you, Clara.
Clara: It’s nice to meet you too, Emmett.
Doc: Well, I guess we’ll be seeing each other around town.
Clara: Yeah, we probably will.
Doc: Well, goodbye.
Clara: Bye.
Clara starts walking away. She looks back over her shoulder as she goes. Doc goes back to Marty.
Doc: Well, how did I do?
Marty: You did great Doc. (he looks at the picture) Wait a minute, she’s still gone.
Doc: What? Why’s that? I met her. She obviously likes me.
Marty: (snaps his fingers) Doc, now I remember. You’re supposed to ask her out to dinner tonight. That’s where the two of you kiss for the first time.
Doc: Why didn’t you tell me that? I would have in a heartbeat.
Marty: Well, come on Doc. If we can find her you still can.
Scene 9:
Clara is in a store shopping. Doc and Marty walk in and see her.
Marty: Alright Doc, there she is. Just go up to her and ask her to dinner tonight.
Doc: Right. (he walks over to her) Hello again.
Clara: (smiles) Hi.
Doc: Clara, this may sound a little forward, but I was wondering if you’d like to join me for dinner tonight.
Clara: Sure. I’d love to.
Doc: Great. I’ll meet you at six, at the restaurant across the street.
Clara: Okay.
Doc: Well, I’ll see you then.
Clara: Yeah.
Doc: Bye.
Clara: Bye.
Doc walks back to Marty.
Doc: Well?
Marty: Good job, Doc.
Marty takes out the picture. As he looks at it, Clara walks by to leave the store. She smiles at Doc. Doc smiles back. Clara leaves.
Marty: Wait a minute, Doc. She’s still not in the picture.
Doc: You said we’re supposed to kiss tonight. Maybe that has to happen before she’ll reappear.
Marty: I hope you’re right Doc.
Scene 10:
Marty and Doc are setting things up to send Marty back to the future. The Tempo is covered with a blue tarp.
Doc: Alright, let’s go over the plan for sending you home. We’ve run some industrial strength electrical cable between these two posts and suspended it across the road. Meanwhile, we’ve out-fitted the car with this big pole and hook which runs directly into the flux capacitor. At the calculated moment, you start off from down the road driving toward the cable accelerating to forty-eight miles per hour. I’ve hooked up a timer to the cable. It will electrify the cable at the same time you reach it, sending the necessary 50000 volts into the flux-capacitor, sending you back to 2015. 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 gonna be around to see 2015, that I'm gonna succeed in this. That I'm gonna have a chance to travel through time. It's going to be really hard waiting 20 years before I can talk to you about everything that's happened here today. I'm really gonna miss you, Marty.
Marty: I'm really gonna miss you. Listen, Doc, there's something I haven't told you about the night-
Doc: No, Marty, having information about the future could be extremely dangerous. Even if your intentions are good, they could backfire drastically. Whatever you've got to tell me I'll find out through the natural course of time.
Scene 11:
Marty is writing a letter.
Marty: (reading over the letter to himself) Dear Doctor Brown, on the night that I go back in time, you will be shot by a terrorist. Please take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this terrible disaster. Your friend, Marty.
Marty puts the letter in an envelope reading “Do not open until 2015!” and seals it. He puts the letter in the inside pocket of Doc’s coat when Doc is not looking.
Scene 12:
That night, Marty is across the street from the restaurant watching Doc and Clara have dinner. They get up and leave the restaurant. They walk down the street together. Doc puts his arm around Clara. Marty follows them.
Scene 13:
Doc and Clara step onto Clara’s front porch. Marty is watching them from across the street.
Clara: I had a really good time tonight, Emmett.
Doc: So did I, Clara. Would you like to do this again sometime?
Clara: Yeah. I’d like that.
Doc: I’ll call you.
Clara: Okay.
Doc kisses her.
Doc: Well, goodnight.
Clara: Goodnight.
Clara goes inside and shuts the door, slowly, looking out as she does. Doc waits until the door latches, then leaves. Marty takes out the picture and looks at it.
Marty: (to himself) Yes.
Marty goes after Doc.
Scene 14:
Marty and Doc uncover the Tempo. Doc opens the driver’s door.
Doc: Alright, your destination time is set. We’re sending you back to the exact moment you left. It’ll be just like you never left. Now, you see this white line on the street, this is where you start from. (Doc takes a alarm clock from his pocket) I've calculated the distance and wind resistance from the moment the timer will charge the cable. When this alarm goes off you hit the gas. (Doc puts it on the dashboard)
Marty: Right.
Doc: Well, I guess that's everything.
Marty: Thanks.
Doc: Thank you. In about twenty years.
Marty: I hope so.
Doc: Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 48 miles per hour, at the exact moment the timer charges it, everything will be fine.
Marty: Right.
Marty gets in the car. Doc folds his arms in font of him and feels the letter. He pulls it out.
Doc: What's the meaning of this.
Marty: You'll find out in twenty years.
Doc: It's about the future, isn't it? I warned you about this kid. The consequences could be disastrous.
Marty: Now that's a risk you'll have to take you're life depends on it.
Doc: No, I refuse to accept the responsibility. (He tears up the letter)
Marty: In that case, I'll tell you straight out.
Doc: Great scott, I just remembered. I forgot to hook the timer back up. I disconnected it so no one could mess with it.
Marty: I’ll drive you down to it.
Doc: No, you might not get back to the line in time. I’ll run down there myself.
Doc shuts the car door and runs down the street.
Marty: Dammit, Doc, why did you have to tear up that letter? If only I had more time. Wait a minute, I got all the time I want I got a time machine, I'll just go back and warn him. 10 minutes oughta do it.(he resets keypad) Time circuits on, flux capacitor fluxing, engine running, alright.
The alarm goes off. Marty hits the gas. Tempo races toward the cable. Doc gets to the timer and hooks it up. Tempo’s hook hits cable. Tempo disappears.
Doc: Ha, ha, ha. (sighs)
Scene 15:
Tempo appears and stops at “Genesis Nuclear Waste Reclamation Plant.” Marty gets out and looks around.
Marty: All right. It worked. (he checks his watch) 1:24, I still got time. (He gets back in and Tempo dies) No. (He tries to start it) C'mon, c'mon. (anarchist’s car goes by) Hey. The anarchist.
Marty runs after the anarchist’s car.
Scene 16:
Marty gets to the front gate of the school. The sign now reads ”Briarcliff Learning Center” Tempo is coming, followed by anarchist’s car. Tempo disappears. Anarchist’s car keeps going.
Scene 17:
Marty gets to Doc, who is laying on the ground. Marty rolls him onto his back.
Marty: Doc, Doc. Oh, no.
Marty turns away. Doc open his eyes and sits up.
Marty: You're alive.
Doc reveals laser-proof vest
Marty: A laser-proof vest, how did you know? I never got a chance to tell you.
Doc looks back over his shoulder. Marty looks. Clara is there.
Clara: He didn’t know, but I told him he should be careful, just in case.
Marty: Wait a minute. What about the car wreck?
Clara: What car wreck? We’ve never been in any car wreck. There was that one time ten years ago though, Emmett. Remember? If you hadn’t seen that truck coming, we might have been killed.
Marty: I thought you were at home then, Doc.
Doc: I’ve always made sure I’m with Clara whenever possible. After all, we almost never met in the first place.
Marty: Wait, Doc. If the accident never happened, why the hell did you build the time machine in the first place?
Doc: I told you, Marty. To go to the future.
Scene 18:
Doc is in the driver’s seat of the Tempo with the door open. Marty is beside it.
Marty: About how far ahead are you going?
Doc: About 20 years, it's a nice round number.
Marty: Look me up when you get there, guess I'll be about 37.
Doc: I will.
Marty: Take care.
Doc: You too.
Marty: Oh, watch that re-entry, it's a little bumpy.
Doc: You bet.
Marty shuts the door. Doc drives off.
Scene 19:
The next morning, Marty car pulls up to Doc’s house. Marty gets out. Clara comes out to meet him.
Clara: Hi Marty.
Marty: Where’s Doc?
Clara: He’s not back yet. I’ll go tell Jennifer you’re here. You probably want to get going.
Marty: Going?
Clara: Yeah. You two are going to the beach today, aren’t you. You’ve been planning it for two weeks.
Marty: But, Doc wouldn’t let me go out with Jennifer.
Clara: Marty, what are you talking about? I convinced him a long time ago that there’s no one he can trust with his daughter more than you.
Clara goes in the house. A moment later, Jennifer comes out.
Jennifer: Hi Marty.
Marty: Jennifer.
Jennifer: Did you finish that report for school?
Marty: School? What school?
Jennifer: What do you mean “What school?” The school Mom and Dad started when the government gave up on schools. (she puts her arms around him) What’s the matter, Marty? Is everything alright?
Marty puts his arms around her.
Marty: Oh yeah, everything is great.
Marty pulls Jennifer close to kiss her. Just before he does, the Tempo appears and crashes into some garbage cans. Marty and Jennifer look. Doc gets out.
Doc: Marty, Jennifer, you gotta come back with me.
Marty: Back where?
Doc raises futuristic glasses.
Doc: Back to the future.
Doc takes stuff from trash.
Marty: Wait a minute, what are you doing, Doc?
Doc: I need fuel. (puts garbage into tube on car) Go ahead, quick, get in the car.
Marty: No no no, Doc, I just got here, okay, Jennifer's here, we're gonna go to the beach
Doc: Well, this concerns her too.
Marty: Wait a minute, Doc. What are you talking about? What happens to us in the future? What do we become assholes or something?
Doc: No no no no no, Marty, both you and Jennifer turn out fine. It's your kids, Marty, something has got to be done about your kids.
Scene 20:
Doc, Marty, and Jennifer are in the car. Doc’s driving. Jennifer’s on Marty’s lap.
Doc: Time circuits on. (he turns them on)
Marty: Hey, Doc, what are you doing, we don't have enough room up here to get up to 48.
Doc: You wanta bet? I’ve done a little (he lowers the glasses) tweaking.
The Tempo’s front wheels spin and the car drives off and disappears.
THE END
