I didn't invent the time machine

for financial gain !

The intent is to gain

a clearer perception of humanity.

Our past, our future,

the pitfalls, the possibilities...

the perils, and the promise. Perhaps an

answer to that universal question, "Why ?"

I'm all for that.

What's wrong with making

a few bucks on the side ?

I am going to put this in the trash.

Great Scott !

McFly, Jennifer Jane Parker,

Hilldale, age 47.

- What's happening ?

- They used her thumbprint to assess her ID.

Since thumbprints never change,

they assume she's the future Jennifer.

We got to stop them.

How ? Tell them we're time travelers ?

They'd have us committed.

She's clean. We take her home.

To Hilldale ?

We won't get there before dark.

They're taking her to your future home !

We'll arrive shortly thereafter,

get her, and return to 1985.

I'll see where I live.

See myself as an old man ?

No, that could result in...

Great Scott !

Jennifer could conceivably encounter

her future self !

The consequences could be disastrous !

- What do you mean ?

- I foresee two possibilities.

One, seeing herself 30 years older would

put her into shock, and she'd pass out...

or two, the encounter

could create a time paradox...

and cause a chain reaction

that would unravel...

the space-time continuum

and destroy the entire universe !

Granted, that's a worst-case scenario.

The destruction might be localized,

limited to our own galaxy.

Well, that's a relief.

Let's go and find Jennifer

before she finds herself.

The skyway's jammed.

It'll take forever to get there.

And this stays here !

I didn't invent the time machine to win

at gambling, but to travel through time !

I know.

So, Doc Brown invented a time machine.

Hilldale.

Nothing but a breeding ground

for tranks, lobos, and zipheads.

Yeah, they ought to tear

this whole place down.

Welcome home, Jennifer.

You got a little tranked,

but I think you can walk.

Ma'am, you should reprogram.

It's dangerous in the dark.

- Lights on ?

- Yes. Now, look.

Just take it easy, and you'll be fine.

And be careful in the future.

The future ?

Have a nice day, Mrs. McFly.

Broadcasting beautiful views

You're tuned to the Scenery Channel.

I'm in the future.

I get married in the Chapel O Love ?

Mom ? Mom, is that you ?

I got to get out of here !

Mom ? Mom, is that you ?

- Grandma !

- Sweetheart !

- What happened to Grandpa ?

- He threw his back out again.

- How's Granddad's little pumpkin ?

- How did you do that ?

Out on the golf course.

Are your folks home yet ?

I brought pizza !

- Who's going to eat all that ?

- I will.

Damn this traffic !

Jennifer, old Jennifer gets home around

now. I hope we're not too late.
