Back to the Future Page #5

tower precisely at 10:04 p.m. next Saturday night. If we could somehow

harness this bolt of

lightning, channel it into the flux capacitor, it just might work. Next

Saturday night, we're

sending you back to the future.

Marty:
Okay, alright, Saturday is good, Saturday's good, I could spend a

week in 1955. 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

reprocautions on future

events. Do you understand?

Marty:
Yeah, sure, okay.

Doc:
Marty, you interacted with anybody else today, besides me?

Marty:
Um, yeah well I might have sort of ran into my parents.

Doc:
Great Scott. Let me see that photograph again of your brother. Just

as I thought, this

proves my theory, look at your brother.

Marty:
His head's gone, it's like it's been erased.

Doc:
Erased from existence.

Marty:
Whoa, they really cleaned this place up, looks brand new.

Doc:
Now remember, according to my theory you interfered with with your

parent's first

meeting. They don't meet, they don't fall in love, they won't get

married and they wont have

kids. That's why your older brother's disappeared from that photograph.

Your sister will follow

and unless you repair the damages, you will be next.

Marty:
This sounds pretty heavy.

Doc:
Weight has nothing to do with it.

Doc:
Which one's your pop?

Marty:
That's him.

George:
Okay, okay you guys, oh ha ha ha very funny. Hey you guys are

being real mature.

Doc:
Maybe you were adopted.

George:
Okay, real mature guys. Okay, Biff, will you pick up my books?

Strickland:
McFly.

Marty:
That's Strickland. Jesus, didn't that guy ever have hair?

Strickland:
Shape up, man. You're a slacker. You wanna be a slacker for

the rest of your life?

George:
No.

Doc:
What did your mother ever see in that kid?

Marty:
I don't know, Doc, I guess she felt sorry for him cause her did

hit him with the car, hit me

with the car.

Doc:
That's a Florence Nightingale effect. It happens in hospitals when

nurses fall in love with

their patients. Go to it, kid.

Marty:
Hey George, buddy, hey, I've been looking all over for you. You

remember me, the guy

who saved your life the other day.

George:
Yeah.

Marty:
Good, there's somebody I'd like you to meet. Loraine.

Loraine:
Calvin.

Marty:
I'd like you to meet my good friend George McFly.

George:
Hi, it's really a pleasure to meet you.

Loraine:
How's your head?

Marty:
Well uh, good, fine.

Loraine:
Oh, I've been so worried about you ever since you ran off the

other night. Are you

okay? I'm sorry I have to go. Isn't he a dream boat?

Marty:
Doc, she didn't even look at him.

Doc:
This is more serious than I thought. Apparently your mother is

amorously infatuated with

you instead of your father.

Marty:
Whoa, wait a minute, Doc, are you telling me that my mother has

got the hots for me?

Doc:
Precisely.

Marty:
Whoa, this is heavy.

Doc:
There's that word again, heavy. Why are things so heavy in the

future. Is there a

problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?

Marty:
What?

Doc:
The only way we're gonna get those two to successfully meet is if

they're alone together.

So you've got to get your father and mother to interact at some sort of

social-

Marty:
What, well you mean like a date?

Doc:
Right.

Marty:
What kind of date? I don't know, what do kids do in the fifties?

Doc:
Well, they're your parents, you must know them. What are there

common interests.

What do they like to do together?

Marty:
Nothing.

Doc:
Look, there's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up.

Marty:
Of course, the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance they're supposed

to go to this, that's

where they kiss for the first time.

Doc:
Alright kid, you stick to your father like glue and make sure that

he takes her to the dance.

Marty:
George, buddy. remember that girl I introduced you to, Loraine.

What are you writing?

George:
Uh, stories, science fiction stories, about visitors coming down

to Earth from another

planet.

Marty:
Get out of town, I didn't know you did anything creative. Ah, let

me read some.

George:
Oh, no no no, I never uh, I never let anybody read my stories.

Marty:
Why not?

George:
Well, what if they didn't like them, what if they told me I was

no good. I guess that

would be pretty hard for somebody to understand.

Marty:
Uh no, not hard at all. So anyway, George, now Loraine, she

really likes you. She told

me to tell you that she wants you to ask her to the Enchantment Under

The Sea Dance.

George:
Really.

Marty:
oh yeah, all you gotta do is go over there and ask her.

George:
What, right here right now in the cafeteria? What is she said

no? I don't know if I

could take that kind of rejection. Besides, I think she'd rather go with

somebody else.

Marty:
Who?

George:
Biff.

Biff:
C'mon, c'mon.

Loraine:
Leave me alone.

Biff:
You want it, you know you want it, and you know you want me to

give it to you.

Loraine:
Shut your filthy mouth, I'm not that kind of girl.

Biff:
Well maybe you are and you just don't know it yet.

Loraine:
Get your meat hooks off of me.

Marty:
You heard her she said get your meat hooks, off, uh please.

Biff:
So what's it to you, butthead. You know you've been looking for a,

since you're new here,

I'm gonna cut you a break, today. So why don't you make like a tree, and

get out of here.

Marty:
George.

George:
Why do you keep following me around?

Marty:
Look, George, I'm telling you George, if you do not ask Loraine

to that dance, I'm gonna

regret it for the rest of my life.

George:
But I can't go to the dance, I'll miss my favorite television

program, Science Fiction

Theater.

Marty:
Yeah but George, Loraine wants to go with you. Give her a break.

George:
Look, I'm just not ready to ask Loraine out to the dance, and

not you, nor anybody else

on this planet is gonna make me change my mind.

Marty:
Science Fiction Theater.

George:
Who are you?

Marty:
Silence Earthling. my name is Darth Vader. I'm am an

extra-terrestrial from the planet

Vulcan.

George:
Marty. Marty. Marty.

Marty:
Hey, George, buddy, you weren't at school, what have you been

doing all day?

George:
I over slept, look I need your help. I have to ask Loraine out

but I don't know how to

do it. I have to ask Loraine out but I don't know how to do it.

Marty:
Alright, okay listen, keep your pants on, she's over in the caf�.

God, how do you do

this? What made you change your mind, George?

George:
Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan. And he

told me that if I didn't

take Loraine, that he'd melt my brain.

Marty:
Yeah, well uh, lets keep this brain melting stuff to ourselves,

okay?

George:
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Marty:
Alright, okay. Alright, there she is, George. Just go in there

and invite her.

George:
Okay, but I don't know what to say.

Marty:
Just say anything, George, say what ever's natural, the first

thing that comes to your
