Back To The Future Part II Page #5

---

You know your history. Very good.

I'll never forget that Saturday.

I'd picked my car up from the shop

because 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.

Yeah. Right.

So there I was,

minding my own business.

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 said, "Sure".

So he lays this book on me.

He says this book will tell me the outcome

of every sporting event this century.

All I have to do is bet on the winner

and I'll never lose.

So I said, "What's the catch ?" He says,

"No catch. Just keep it a secret."

After that, he disappeared.

I never saw him again.

He told me one more thing.

He said, "Someday a crazy,

wild-eyed scientist...

"or a kid may show up

asking about that book.

"And if that ever happens...

Funny. I never thought it would be you.

Biff, you're forgetting one thing.

What the hell is that ?

You're dead, you little son of a b*tch !

- There he is !

- Wait, kid !

Hurry ! There he is !

Go ahead, kid. Jump.

A suicide will be nice and neat.

What if I don't ?

Lead poisoning.

What about the police, Biff ?

They're going to 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...

I suppose it's poetic justice.

Two McFlys with the same gun.

Idiot.

What the hell...

Nice job, Doc !

You're not going to believe this.

We've got to go back to 1955.

I don't believe it.

That's right, Doc.

November 12, 1955.

Unbelievable that old Biff

could've chosen that particular date.

It could mean that that point in time

contains some cosmic significance...

as if it were the temporal junction point

of the entire space-time continuum...

or it could just be

an amazing coincidence.

Damn ! Got to fix that thing.

All right. Time circuits on.

What do you mean, time circuits on ?

Doc, we're not going back now.

What about Jennifer ? Einstein ?

We can't leave them.

Don't worry.

Assuming we succeed on our mission...

this alternate 1985

will be changed into the real 1985...

instantaneously transforming

around Jennifer and Einie.

Jennifer and Einie will be fine.

They'll have no memory

of this horrible place.

- What if we don't succeed ?

- We must succeed.

This is heavy, Doc.

It's like I was here yesterday.

You were here yesterday, Marty.

Amazing, isn't it ?

Sunrise should be in about 22 minutes.

You go into town.

Track down young Biff and tail him.

Sometime today, old Biff will show up

to give young Biff the Almanac.

Above all you must not interfere.

Let old Biff believe he's succeeded

so he'll leave 1955...

- and bring the DeLorean to the future.

- Right.

Once old Biff is gone,

grab the Almanac anyway that you can.

- Remember, 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 and repair

the short in 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.

- Other self ?

- Yes. There are now two of me here...

and there are two of you here.

The other me is

the 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 ? That doesn't happen until tonight.

Be careful not to run into your

other self. Let me give you some money.

Have to be prepared

for all monetary possibilities.

- Get yourself some '50s clothes.

- Check, Doc.

Something inconspicuous.

Doc. Come in. This is Marty. Over.

- Roger, this is Doc. Are you there ?

- Yeah, Doc. I'm at the address.

It's the only Tannen in the book,

but I don't think this is Biff's house.

It looks like an old lady lives here.

- Where are you going, Biff ?

- I'm going to get my car, Grandma.

When are you coming back ?

I want you to rub my toes.

Shut up, you old bag.

Give us our ball back.

- What ball ?

- That ball !

What are you talking about ?

Give us our ball !

Ball ?

- Is this your ball ?

- Yeah !

- You want it back ?

- Yeah.

Go get it.

Doc, it is Biff's house.

I'm on him. Over.

She's all fixed up,

but I couldn't get her started.

- Got a kill switch ?

- You just need the right touch.

Nobody can start this car but me.

- The bill comes to $302.57.

- $300 ?

$300 for a couple of dents ?

That's bullshit.

It was horseshit.

The whole car was horseshit.

- Jones wanted $80 to haul it away.

- I bet he resold it.

- I got to get something.

- You want something ?

You can call Jones and

if he wants to give you a refund...

$300 ! If I catch the guy

that caused this I'll break his neck.

The manure. I remember that.

- 4 cans for a $300 job ?

- I can't have lunch in there.

- Makes me nauseous.

- I should get a case for $300.

It smells worse than the bathroom.

The stench

is never going to go away, Biff.

Last time I do you a favor. Last time.

It's perfect, Lorraine.

You're going to look so good !

You're going to look...

Look at what we have here.

Nice dress, Lorraine.

Although I think you'd look better

wearing nothing.

- Take a long walk off a short pier.

- There's that dance at school tonight.

Now that my car's fixed...

I'll give you the honor of going

with the best-looking guy in school.

I'm busy.

- Doing what ?

- Washing 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.

Who ? That bug George McFly ?

- I'm going with Calvin Klein, okay ?

- Calvin Klein ? No, it's not okay.

- You're going with me, understand ?

- Get your cooties off me !

When will you get it through your skull ?

You're my girl.

I wouldn't be your girl

even if you had a million dollars !

Yes, you will !

It's you and me, Lorraine.

Watch it !

It's meant to be.

I'm going to marry you someday, Lorraine.

Someday you'll be my wife !

You always did have a way with women.

Get the hell out of my car, old man.

You want to marry that girl ?

I can help make it happen.

- Who are you, Miss Lonely-hearts ?

- Just get in the car, butthead.

Who are you calling butthead, butthead ?

How did you do that ?

Nobody can start this car but me.

Get in the car, Tannen.

Today's your lucky day.

Watch where you're driving, old man.

If you dent this car, I'll kill you.

- This cost me $300 !

- Would you shut up about the car ?

- How do you know where I live ?

- Let's just say we're related, Biff.

That being the case,

I got a present for you.

Something that'll make you rich.

- You want to be rich, don't you ?

- Yeah. Sure. Right. That's rich.

You're going to make me rich ?

You see this book ?

This book tells the future.

Tells the results of every major sports

event till the end of this century.
