That means you'll be dead

by about supper time Monday.

Excuse me. I don't know

who you think you are, but we're dancing.

Look what we have here.

Ain't you gonna introduce me?

I'd like a dance.

I wouldn't give you the pleasure.

You'll have to go ahead and shoot.

-All right.

-I'll dance with him.

Boys, keep the blacksmith company

while I get acquainted with the filly!

Yeah!

I don't dance very well

when my partner has a gun in his hand.

You'll learn.

Maybe I'll just take

my $80 worth out of her!

Leave her alone!

Yeah, I bet there's something you can do

that's worth $80.

I believe you've underestimated me, mister.

Have I?

Stop it!

Damn you!

No, I damn you!

I damn you to hell!

-You.

-Lighten up, jerk!

Mighty strong words, runt!

You man enough to back them up

with more than just a pie plate?

Just leave my friends alone.

What's wrong, dude? You yellow?

That's what I thought. A yellow-belly.

Nobody calls me yellow.

Then let's finish it. Right now.

Not now, Buford. Marshal's got our guns.

Like I said, we'll finish this tomorrow!

Tomorrow we're robbing the Pine City stage.

What about Monday?

We doing anything Monday?

Monday would be fine.

You can kill him on Monday.

I'll be back this way on Monday.

We'll settle this then.

Right there, out in the street...

...in front of the Palace Saloon.

Yeah, right. When?

High noon?

Noon?

I do my killing before breakfast. 7:00!

Marty!

Break it up.

What's all this about?

You causing trouble here, Tannen?

No trouble, Marshal.

Just a little personal matter

between me and Eastwood.

This don't concern the law.

Tonight, everything concerns the law.

Break it up.

Any brawling, it's 15 days in the county jail.

All right, folks. This is a party.

Come on! Let's have some fun!

If you ain't here, I'll hunt you

and shoot you down like a duck.

It's "dog." Shoot him down like a dog.

Let's go, boys!

Let these sissies have their party!

What are you doing, saying you'll meet Tannen?

Don't worry about it.

Monday morning we'll be gone.

Theoretically, yes. But what if the train's late?

-We'll discuss this later.

-We'll discuss it now.

-Thank you for your gallantry.

-Ma'am.

Had you not interceded,

Emmett might have been shot.

Marty... Clint, I'm gonna take Clara home.

-Right. Good night.

-You sure set him straight.

I'm glad somebody finally stood up

to that son of a b*tch.

You're all right in my book.

I'd like to buy you a drink.

You don't have to buy me anything.

It was no big deal...

You can have this brand-new

Colt Peacemaker and gun belt, free of charge.

Free?

I want everybody to know

the gun that shot Buford Tannen...

...was a Colt Peacemaker!

No problem. Thanks a lot.

Of course, if you lose, I'm taking it back.

Thanks again.

You had him.

You could have walked away and nobody

would have thought less of you.

All it would have been was words,

hot air from a buffoon.

Instead, you let him rile you...

...into playing his game, his way, by his rules.

Seamus, relax. I know what I'm doing.

-He reminds me of poor Martin.

-Aye.

-Who?

-Me brother.

Wait a minute.

You have a brother named Martin McFly?

Had a brother.

Martin used to let men

provoke him into fighting.

He was concerned people

would think him a coward if he refused.

That's how he got a knife shoved through

his belly in a saloon in Virginia City.

Never considered the future, poor Martin.

God rest his soul.

Sure, and I hope you're

considering the future, Mr. Eastwood.

I think about it all the time.

That crater all by itself, like a starburst.

Yeah.

That one's called Copernicus.

Listen to me. I feel like I'm teaching school.

Please, continue the lesson.

I never found lunar geography so fascinating.

You're quite knowledgeable.

When I was 11, I had diphtheria.

I was quarantined for three months.

My father brought this telescope

and put it next to my bed...

...so I could see everything out the window.

Do you think we'll ever travel to the moon...

...the way we travel

across the country on trains?

Definitely. Although not for 84 years,

and not on trains.

We'll have space capsules sent aloft

with rockets...

...devices that create giant explosions

so powerful they just...

That they break the pull of gravity

and send the projectile to outer space.

Emmett!

I read that book, too!

You're quoting Jules Verne,

From the Earth to the Moon.

You've read Jules Verne?

-I adore Jules Verne.

-So do I.

My absolute favorite.

The first time I read that as a little boy,

I wanted to meet Captain Nemo.

Don't tease. You couldn't have read that

when you were a boy.

It was only first published 10 years ago.

Yes. I meant it made me feel like a boy.

I never met a woman

who liked Jules Verne before.

I never ever met a man like you before.

Doc?

Doc?

Hope you know what you're doing.

You talking to me?

You talking to me, Tannen?

I'm the only one here.

Go ahead! Make my day.

Good morning.

'Morning.

Have a cigar. Anything I can do for you today?

-No, that's fine.

-Good luck tomorrow.

-We'll be praying for you.

-Thanks.

Good morning.

Interest you in a new suit for tomorrow?

I'm fine. Thanks.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I was just out enjoying the morning air.

It's really lovely here in the morning.

Don't you think?

Yes. We've got to load the DeLorean

and get ready to roll.

Look at that, the tombstone.

Let me see that photograph again.

My name, it's vanished.

That's great, Doc.

We're going back to the future tomorrow,

so everything's being erased.

But only my name is erased.

The tombstone itself and the date still remain.

That doesn't make sense.

We know this photograph represents

what will happen...

...if the events of today continue

to run their course into tomorrow.

-Right. So?

-Excuse me, Mr. Eastwood.

-I just need to take your measurements.

-Look, pal, I don't want to buy a suit.

-This is for your coffin.

-My coffin?

The odds are running 2-1 against you.

Might as well be prepared.

So it may not be my name...

...that's going to be on this tombstone.

It may be yours.

-Great Scott.

-I know, this is heavy.

Why are you wearing that gun? You're

not considering going up against Tannen?

Tomorrow morning I'm going

back to the future with you.

But if Buford Tannen comes looking for trouble,

I'll be ready for him.

You heard what that son of a b*tch called me.

You can't lose your judgment over names.

That's exactly what causes you

to get in that accident in the future.

What? What about my future?

I can't tell you. It might make things worse.

Wait a minute.

What is wrong with my future?

We all have to make decisions

that affect the course of our lives.

You've got to do what you've got to do...

...and I've got to do what I've got to do.

-Marty.

-Yeah?

I've made a decision.

I'm not going with you tomorrow.

I'm staying here.

What are you talking about?

There's no point in denying it.

-I'm in love with Clara.

-Oh, man.
