David:
C'mon, Mom, make it fast, I'll miss my bus. Hey see you tonight,

Pop. Woo, time to

change that oil.

Linda:
Hey Marty, I'm not your answering service, but you're outside

pouting about the car,

Jennifer Parker called you twice.

Lorraine:
I don't like her, Marty. Any girl who calls a boy is just

asking for trouble.

Linda:
Oh Mom, there's nothing wrong with calling a boy.

Lorraine:
I think it's terrible. Girls chasing boys. When I was your age

I never chased a boy, or

called a boy, or sat in a parked car with a boy.

Linda:
Then how am I supposed to ever meet anybody.

Lorraine:
Well, it will just happen. Like the way I met your father.

Linda:
That was so stupid, Grandpa hit him with the car.

Lorraine:
It was meant to be. Anyway, if Grandpa hadn't hit him, then

none of you would have

been born.

Linda:
Yeah, well, I still don't understand what Dad was doing in the

middle of the street.

Lorraine:
What was it, George, bird watching?

George:
What Lorraine, what?

Lorraine:
Anyway, Grandpa hit him with the car and brought him into the

house. He seemed

so helpless, like a little lost puppy, my heart just went out for him.

Linda:
Yeah Mom, we know, you've told us this story a million times. You

felt sorry for him so

you decided to go with him to The Fish Under The Sea Dance.

Lorraine:
No, it was The Enchantment Under The Sea Dance. Our first

date. It was the night

of that terrible thunderstorm, remember George? Your father kissed me

for the very first time

on that dance floor. It was then I realized I was going to spend the

rest of my life with him.

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 video camera, could you

stop by my place and

pick it up on your way to the mall?

Marty:
Um, yeah, I'm on my way.

Marty:
Einstein, hey Einstein, where's the Doc, boy, huh? Doc

Doc:
Marty, you made it.

Marty:
Yeah.

Doc:
Welcome to my latest experiment. It's the one I've been waiting for

all my life.

Marty:
Um, well it's a deloreon, right?

Doc:
Bare with me, Marty, all of your questions will be answered. Roll

tape, we'll proceed.

Marty:
Doc, is that a de-

Doc:
Never mind that now, never mind that now.

Marty:
Alright, I'm ready.

Doc:
Good evening, I'm Doctor Emmett Brown. I'm standing on the parking

lot of Twin Pines

Mall. It's Saturday morning, October 26, 1985, 1:18 a.m. and this is

temporal experiment

number one. C'mon, Einy, hey hey boy, get in there, that a boy, in you

go, get down, that's it.

Marty:
Whoa, whoa, okay.

Doc:
Please note that Einstein's clock is in complete synchronization

with my control watch.

Marty:
Right check, Doc.
