Mr. Brown. Emmett.

You know, I'm almost glad

that snake spooked those horses.

Otherwise, we might never have met.

I suppose it was destiny.

Thank you for everything.

You're quite welcome.

I will see you again, won't I?

Of course. You'll see lots of me.

I have a shop in town.

I'm the local scientist, I mean, blacksmith.

What sort of science?

Astronomy? Chemistry?

Actually, I'm a student of all sciences.

Doc, we have to get going.

Yes. Excuse us, Clara.

We have to get going.

Toodle-oo.

What do you mean,

you'll be seeing lots of her?

I might see her again just in passing.

Did you see the way she was looking at you?

She did have quite a scare, right?

Miss Clayton almost ended up

at the bottom of Clayton Ravine.

Holy sh*t.

Clayton Ravine was named after a teacher.

-They say she fell in there 100 years ago.

-100 years ago!

-That's this year!

-Every kid knows that story.

We all have teachers we'd like to see

fall into the ravine.

Great Scott!

Then she was supposed to go over

in that wagon.

Now I may have seriously altered history.

Look, Doc, what's the worse that can happen?

So they don't name the ravine after her.

Let's get the DeLorean ready

and get out of here.

I wish I'd never invented

that infernal time machine.

It's caused nothing but disaster.

Doc, this is Marty.

Do you read me? Over.

Check, Marty.

Great. These things still work.

All right. Once more,

let's go over the entire plan and layout.

-I apologize for the crudity of this model...

-Yeah, it's not to scale. It's okay.

All right. Tomorrow night, Sunday...

...we load the DeLorean

onto the tracks here, on the spur...

...by the abandoned silver mine.

The switch track is where the spur runs

off the main line...

...three miles out to Clayton... Shonash Ravine.

The train leaves the station

at 8:
00 Monday morning.

We'll stop it, uncouple the cars,

throw the switch track and then hijack...

...borrow the locomotive and use it

to push the time machine.

According to my calculations we'll reach

...the edge of the ravine,

at which point we'll be transported back to 1985...

...and coast safely across the completed bridge.

What does this mean? "Point of no return."

That's our fail-safe point.

Till there, we have time to stop the locomotive

before it plunges into the ravine.

But once we pass this windmill,

it's the future or bust.

Here you go.

Connect that to the positive terminal.

All right, you all set?

Yeah. Go!

Train pulling out of the station!

Coming up to the switch track!

Stop at the switch track!

Throw the switch!

Pull up to the DeLorean!

Pushing the DeLorean...

...up to 88 miles per hour!

It couldn't be simpler.

Emmett?

It's Clara.

Quick, cover the DeLorean!

Hello.

Why, hello.

This is quite a surprise.

I hope I'm not disturbing anything.

We were just doing a little model railroading.

When my bags were thrown from the wagon...

...my telescope was damaged.

Since you mentioned an interest in science...

...I thought you might be able to repair it for me.

I would pay you, of course.

I wouldn't think of charging you for this.

Let's have a look at it.

I think a lens may be out of alignment because...

...if you move it this way the image turns fuzzy.

See?

But if you turn it the other way...

...then...

Everything becomes...

...clear.

I could repair it right away

and have it for you tonight.

Tonight is the town festival.

I wouldn't dream of having you work

on my telescope during such an occasion.

You are planning on attending, aren't you?

-Actually, ma'am...

-Yes, of course. The festival.

In that case,

I'll see you this evening at the festival.

Mr. Eastwood.

Ma'am.

Thank you for taking care of my telescope.

You're quite welcome.

It's a nice telescope.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...as mayor of Hill Valley...

...it gives me great pleasure

to dedicate this clock...

...to the people of Hill County!

May it stand for all time!

Tell me when, gentlemen.

Three! Two! One!

Now!

Let the festivities begin!

In a way, it's fitting that you and I

are here to witness this.

It's too bad I didn't bring my camera.

Ready, gentlemen?

The only problem is,

we'll never be able to show it to anybody.

Smile, Doc.

What great music!

Yeah, it's got a beat, and you can dance to it.

Step right up and test your mettle

with the latest products...

...from Col. Samuel Colt's Patent

Firearms Manufacturing Company...

...of Hartford, Connecticut.

Now, take this model, for example.

The new,

improved and refined Colt Peacemaker...

...selling to you tonight for the low price of $12.

-Good evening.

-'Evening.

You look very nice.

Thank you.

Would you like...

-Would you care to...

-I'd love to.

Young man, you want to give it a try?

No, thanks.

Doc, this...

Son!

-Sonny boy!

-Doc can dance?

Son.

I just told you that even a baby

could handle this weapon.

Surely you're not afraid to try.

I'm not afraid of nothing.

Come on, then.

Just step up here like a man.

Now, young man, what you do

is just ease that hammer back and...

...squeeze off a round.

Right on out there and be real smooth.

That's the way you do it.

-Can I try that again?

-Yeah, go ahead.

Tell me one thing.

Where did you learn to shoot like that?

Buford, you sure that blacksmith

will be at this shindig?

Sure he's here. Everybody's here tonight.

You'll have to check your firearms

if you want to join in on the festivities.

Who's gonna make us, tenderfoot?

I am.

Marshal Strickland.

I didn't know you was back in town.

If you can't read the sign,

I presume you can read this.

Pretty tough hombre when you're pointing

a gun at a man's back.

Just like you, I take every advantage I can get.

You gonna check your iron?

I was just joking with your deputy.

Of course, I'm gonna check my iron.

We all were, weren't we, boys?

Yeah, right.

Tannen.

Your knife, too.

Smile, Marshal.

After all, this is a party.

Only party I'll be smiling at...

...is the one that sees you at the end of a rope.

Have fun!

That's how you handle them.

Never give them an inch...

...and maintain discipline at all times.

Remember that word: discipline.

I will, Pa.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Eastwood, nice to see you.

I see you got yourself

some respectable clothes and a fine hat.

A couple people didn't like the way

the other one looked on me.

That one suits you.

-It's very becoming.

-Thanks.

"Frisbee." Far out.

-What was the meaning of that?

-It was right in front of him.

-That's mine!

-Not anymore.

-Give me that.

-There he is, Buford.

-Where?

-There.

Dancing with that piece of calico.

What are you gonna do, boss?

I figure if I bury this muzzle deep enough

in his back nobody will hear the shot.

Careful. You've only got one bullet with that.

I only need one.

I told you to watch your back, smithy.

You're early.

It's a Derringer. Small but effective.

The last time I used it, fella took two days to die.

Bled to death inside. It was real painful.
