She changes it from an Eastern garden to a sunset to New York at night (with the World Trade Center towers!) to a mountain.
Marlene: Well, when the scene screen repairman called Daddy a chicken, Daddy threw him out of the house and now we can't get anybody to fix it.
Lorraine: Look how worn out this thing is!
Lorraine lifts it up like a blind to reveal the real window with next door shown through it. Cu to Jennifer in the closet as she listens to.....
Lorraine: (o.s) Your father's biggest problem Marlene is that he loses all self control when someone calls him chicken. How many times have we heard it George?
Cut to George and Lorraine.
Lorraine: Mom...
Lorraine/George: .....I can't let them I'm chicken!
George: Well, you're right, you're right!
Lorraine: About thirty years ago, your father tried to prove he wasn't chicken and he ended up in an automobile accident.
Marlene: Oh, you mean with the Rolls Royce?
Cut to Jennifer.
Jennifer: (horrified) Automobile accident?
The DeLorean lands outside Hilldale - on the No Landing sign! - and Doc gets out.
Doc: All right Einie, let's find Jennifer!
Marty: I don't believe it, I live in Hilldale! This is great! Way to go McFly!
Doc: Marty, stay here, change clothes, I need you on holler.
Marty: Come on Doc, I wanna check out my house!
Doc: We can't risk you running into your older self. Come on Einie.
Doc and Einstein leave. Marty takes off his jacket.
Marty: Hilldale? This is bitching.
Just down the street from Marty, a taxi appears. Biff gets out and walks to the TAXI DRIVER'S window. The driver has a parrot on his shoulder. The driver gets out a gadget which has been adding his fare.
Computerised Voice: (v.o) One Seven Four Point Five Zero.
Taxi Driver: That'll be 174.50.
Biff: Here. (He puts his thumbprint on the taxi driver's gadget).
Taxi Driver: Careful old timer, this is a rough neighbourhood.
Biff: Just give me the receipt.
Taxi Driver: Here it is.
Biff takes it.
Parrot: Hello? How about a tip?
Of course, Biff doesn't give a tip, and the parrot laughs in a "yeah right" type of way. The taxi flies off. Biff hides in a recycling station just behind the DeLorean. Cut to inside the McFly house.
Lorraine: That accident caused a chain reaction of events which sent Marty's life straight down the tube.
Jennifer creeps out of the closet and is able to hear better.
Lorraine: If not for that accident, your father's life would have turned out very different.
The fruit holder comes down from the ceiling to above the table.
Lorraine: The man in the Rolls Royce wouldn't have pressed charges, Marty wouldn't have broken his hand and he wouldn't have given up on his music.
Cut to Jennifer.
Lorraine: (o.s) And he wouldn't have spent all those years feeling sorry for himself.
Marty Junior has just come home. He walks past Jennifer.
Marty Junior: Hey Mom, nice pants.
Lorraine: (o.s) I think the real reason your mother married him was because she felt sorry for him.
Jennifer: Mom?
Lorraine: (o.s) Such a sweet girl.
Cut to Jennifer's POV. She sees her future son sit down in front of the TV. A painting is on display.
Marty Junior: Put it off. (The picture vanishes) OK, I want channels 18, 24, 63, 109, 87 and the Weather Channel.
The screen splits into 6, each bit with its own TV image. As the 6 channels broadcast, Marty Junior gets up and straightens the TV. It becomes lop sided again when he lets go.
Computerised Voice: (v.o) Welcome home Marty.
Marty: (o.s) Hey, hey, hey, Dad's home, that's right, he's home, Dad's home.
Computerised Voice: (v.o) Lord of the manor.
2015 MARTY enters. Aged 47, he's wearing a business suit with two ties - like Terry earlier - and has a briefcase. He's just come home from work.
Marty: Hello, hello.
Computerised Voice: (v.o) King of the castle.
Marty: Hello. (notices something) What the hell is this?
Marty presses a button.
Female Computerised Voice: (v.o) Lithium mode on.
Marty: That's better, damn kids.
Marty walks up to his son.
Marty: Hey ace.
Marty Junior ignores him and continues watching TV.
Marty: Watching a little TV for a change?
Outside, Marty has just put his 1985 Nikes back on. He looks around, and sees a dog being walked - by a robotic lead!!! Marty stares at it, and then gets up to have a closer look at it. He walks down the street. Biff gets into the DeLorean and unseen by Marty, takes off, although he crashes into some boxes first. Back in the kitchen, Lorraine is making dinner. She opens the pizza.
Marty Junior: (o.s) Hey, pizza!
Marty: (o.s) Alright, just wait.
Marty Junior: (o.s) Grandma, can you just shove it in my mouth? (laughs)
Marty: (o.s) Don't you be a smart ass!
Marty Junior: (o.s, a bit sarcastically?) Oh, great, it's the atrocity channel.
Lorraine puts the pizza in a Black and Decker Hydrator.
Lorraine: Hydrate level 4 please.
4 seconds later, she takes the pizza out - it's bigger!
Lorraine: Mmm.
Marty Junior: (o.s) Is it ready?
Lorraine puts the pizza on the table.
Lorraine: Here you go.
Marty, Marlene and Marty Junior all take a slice. Marlene and Marty Junior both have television/telephone goggles on.
Marty: Oh boy, oh boy Mom, you sure can hydrate a pizza. (Marty takes a bite.) Now I'm sorry I missed that whole thing.
Cut to Jennifer.
Lorraine: (o.s) Now I'm just worried about Jennifer.
Cut back to kitchen.
Lorraine: Why isn't she home yet?
Marty: I'm not sure where Jennifer is Mom.
Marty pours himself and his son some juice. Marlene has a Pepsi.
Marty: Should have been home hours ago, and I'm having a hard time keeping track of her these days.
Marty Junior: Hey fruit, fruit please! (The fruit thing comes down) Thank you.
Lorraine: Aren't you and Jennifer getting along?
Marty: Oh yeah, great Mom, we're like a couple of teenagers, ya know.
The phone rings on the kids goggles.
Marty Junior: Dad, telephone, its Needles.
Marlene: Dad, it's for you.
Marty: All right, well, I'll take it down in the den. Excuse me.
Marty Junior: (re: fruit machine) Retract!
Cut to the TV screen. Marty walks in.
Marty: Hello, in here please.
The painting on screen disappears to reveal NEEDLES. He's on the other end of a videophone!
Needles: Hey, hey, the big M! How's it hanging McFly?
Marty: Hey Needles.
Cut to Jennifer.
Needles: (o.s) So...
Jennifer: (puzzled - she obviously knows Needles) Needles?
Jennifer's POV - she watches Marty and Needles.
Needles: Did you take a look at that little business proposal of mine?
Cut to Jennifer.
Marty: (o.s) I don't know Needles.
Needles: (o.s) What are you afraid of?
Back to Jennifer's POV.
Needles: If this thing works, it'll solve all your financial problems.
Marty: And if it doesn't work Needles, I could get fired. It's illegal! I mean, what if the Jitz is watching, huh?
Needles: The Jitz will never find out! Come on, stick your card in the slot and I'll handle it.
Marty: Nah. (He starts to walk off)
Needles: Unless you want everyone in division to think you're.....chicken.
M
arty freezes at this word. He then turns around.
Marty: Nobody calls me chicken, Needles, nobody!
Needles: All right, prove it.
Marty: All right, all right Needles, here's my card, scan it, I'm in.
Needles: Thanks McFly. See you at the plant tomorrow.
Needles "hangs up" and the screen has the AT&T logo on it.
Female Computerised Voice: (v.o) Thank you for using AT&T.
Marty gets up. Behind him, a Japanese man appears on the screen. It's Marty's boss, Iko Fujitsu - aka the JITZ!
Jitz: McFly!
Jennifer jumps at this. Marty turns around to see his boss.
Marty: Oh! Fujitsu-san! Konnichi wa! (this means "Hello Mr Fujitsu" more or less)
Jitz: McFly! I was monitoring that scan you just interfaced. You are terminated!
Marty: Terminated! No, no! It wasn't my fault sir, it was Needles, Needles was behind the whole thing!
Jitz: And you co-operated!
Marty: No I didn't! It was a sting operation! I was setting him up!
Jitz: McFly, read my fax!
The words You're Fired appear on screen, and the Jitz walks away.
Marty: Please no, I can't be fired - I'm fired!
Fax machines throughout the house print off You're Fired as well. One is near Jennifer. She takes it and look at it, horrified.
Marty: Oh, this is heavy. What am I going to tell Jennifer?
Jennifer watches him, but hears a tap on the window. It's Doc and Einstein!
Doc: (whispering) Jennifer, Jennifer!
Jennifer: Oh Doc, am I glad to see you!
Doc: Go out the front door!
Jennifer: But it doesn't open, there's no doorknob!
Doc: Press your thumb to the plate!
Jennifer: What plate?
Doc sees something and he and Einstein hide. Jennifer creeps out of the closet and makes her way to the door. Marty gets his guitar and plays a few chords from The Power Of Love. Lorraine enters, and Jennifer moves quickly before she can be seen.
Lorraine: Marty, what does this fax mean?
Marty: Oh Mom, it's a joke, an office joke, a joke fax.
Lorraine: A joke? But Marty, I heard you yelling.
Marty: No Mom; Mom, mom, mom, calm down, I wasn't yelling... Needles and I were just kinda joking.
Jennifer goes to the front door.
Computerised Voice: Welcome home Jennifer.
Jennifer is about to walk out when she realises that her future self has just walked in! 2015 JENNIFER, 47, has grey hair - the years have not been kind to her. She's carrying groceries. Both Jennifers stop and stare at each other. Then simultaneously, they say:
2015 Jennifer: I'm young!
1985 Jennifer: I'm old!
Both faint, but luckily Doc is there to catch 1985 Jennifer. Cut to outside. Biff arrives back in 2015 and parks the DeLorean. He gets out, clutching his chest. Doc calls to Marty.
Doc: Marty! Marty! Marty! Come quick! Quick!
Biff gets out of the DeLorean. The top of his cane breaks off and stays in there.
Biff: Oh, oh, ahh!
Marty and Doc are running down the street carrying Jennifer.
Doc: She encountered her future self and went into shock, just as I predicted. She'll be fine - lets get her back to 1985. And then I'm going to destroy the time machine!
Marty: Destroy it? What about all that stuff about humanity? Where we're going and why?
Doc: The risk is just too great as this incident proves. (He opens the door and they put Jennifer inside) And I was behaving responsibly! Just imagine the danger if the time machine were to fall in the wrong hands!
Cut to Biff. He groans again and falls over. Cut back to Doc.
Doc: My only regret is that I will never get a chance to visit my favourite historical era - the old west. But time travelling is just too dangerous. Better that I devote myself to study the other great mystery of the universe - women.
Cut to inside the DeLorean. Marty is sitting in the passenger seat with Jennifer, still out cold, on his lap. Einstein is behind them. Doc inputs October 26th 1985 9.00PM in the time panel. Neither he nor Marty notice that the Last Time Departed panel says November 12th 1955 6.38PM!
Doc: Marty, Einie, brace yourselves for temporal displacement.
Marty holds Jennifer. Cut to his point of view. We see the DeLorean get up to 88mph whilst travelling on the skyway, then just as they're about to pass a floating sign, the DeLorean breaks the time barrier.
OCTOBER 26, 1985
The skyway vanishes.
Marty: Did we make it? Are we back?
A jumbo jet just misses them - it appears they're back in 1985.
Marty: Argh!
Doc: We're back.
Doc flies the DeLorean down a street, lets the wheels down and lands, driving normally to a house - Jennifer's. It parks in her driveway. He and Marty get out, carrying Jennifer. Neither of them notice the wrecked car in the driveway. They put her on her porch swing during the following:
Doc: Let's put her in the swing! Then I'll take you home and you can come back in your truck and wake her. When she awakens here in her own house and it's dark, you should be able to convince her it was all a dream.
Marty: Wait a minute, we're just going to leave her here on the porch?
Doc: The disorientation will help convince her that it was all a dream.
Marty: How long do you think she's gonna be out?
Doc: I'm not sure, she received quite a shock. Could be for a few minutes, most probably a couple of hours. You'd better bring some smelling salts with you.
Marty: Well you're the Doc, Doc.
Doc: Right. Let's go Einie.
Doc and Einstein walk towards the DeLorean. Marty stays where he is looking at Jennifer. Doc turns around to face him.
Doc: Don't worry, she'll be fine.
Marty walks after Doc and notices bars on the windows.
Marty: I don't remember bars being on these windows.
Cut to the Lyon Estates signs. The DeLorean drives through them into the estate. A pack of stray dogs run across the road after the car passes. The DeLorean drives down the street and stops at Marty's house. Trash is everywhere and most of the houses on Marty's street are empty/boarded up/have got "For Sale" signs in the front gardens. Marty opens the door and gets out of the DeLorean.
Doc: If you need me, I'll be in my lab, dismantling this thing.
Marty: Right.
Marty closes the door and Doc drives off. Marty goes to the side gate and tries to open it - but there's a padlock.
Marty: (surprised) What the hell?
Marty climbs over the gate. Cut to his bedroom window. Marty quietly opens the window. He steps inside, but trips and falls onto the bed. The light is turned on and Marty sees a young girl, LORETTA, in his bed! Except it's not his bed, this room is completely different!
Loretta: Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!
Marty: Hey, hey, hey, wait, wait a minute, what are you doing in my room?
Loretta: Mom, Dad, help me!
Marty: Wait a minute, wait a minute, OK, OK!
The door bursts open and Loretta's DAD enters. He's carrying a baseball bat.
Dad: Freeze sucker!
Marty: It's OK, I don't want any trouble!
Dad: Well, you got trouble now you piece of trash!
Loretta's MOM enters and stands by the doorway. With her is their other child, HAROLD. Dad tries to hit Marty with the bat but breaks some of his daughter's things instead. Loretta is still crying.
Dad: What are you doing in here with my daughter?
Marty: Hey listen, I'm just in the wrong house!
Dad aims again - and misses again.
Harold: Go get him Dad!
Dad: You got that right!
Dad aims again.
Marty: Hey look, I made a mistake!
Dad: You're damn right you made a mistake!
Dad aims again.
Marty: Argh!
Mart
y crawls out of the room.
Harold/Loretta: Get him!
Cut to the front door. Marty runs out of the house, and the family chases him until they stop at the end of the front yard.
Marty: Argh!
Dad: Right, you keep running sucker, and you tell that realty company that I ain't selling, you hear? We ain't going to be terrorised!
Marty runs down a street. Things are very different to how he remembered. In the distance he hears gunshits and screaming. At a corner there are the outlines of two murder victims. Marty runs down another street and three police cars drive past in the background.
Marty: This has got to be the wrong year.
Marty sees a house. He runs over and picks up the newspaper. He reads out the date - October 26th 1985.
Marty: 1985? It can't be.
Strickland: (v.o) Drop it.
Marty looks behind him to see MR STRICKLAND wearing a nightshirt with a bullet-proof vest on top. He's got a gun and pointing it at Marty.
Strickland: So you're the son of a bitch who's been stealing my papers.
Marty: Mr Strickland. Mr Strickland, it's me sir. It's Marty.
Strickland: Who?
Marty: Marty McFly! Marty McFly! Don't you know me? From school, sir.
Strickland: I've never seen you before in my life but you look to me like a slacker.
Marty: Yeah, that's right. That's right, I am a slacker. Don't you remember? You gave me detention last week.
Strickland: Last week? The school burnt down six years ago. Now, you've got exactly three seconds to get off my porch with your nuts in tact. One -
Marty: I just wanna know what the hell is going on here.
Strickland: Two...
Marty: Argh!!!
A car drives past, its drivers fire gunshots.
People in car: Strickland!
They hit Strickland's porch, destroying a few flower pots, and Marty ducks for cover. Strickland comes back with a gun and fires it.
Strickland: Eat lead, slackers!
Marty runs off, terrified.
Marty: Argh!
Music: I Can't Drive 55 By Sammy Hagar.
He runs to Courthouse Square, and stands on a sign. It's the "Welcome to the City of Hill Valley A Nice Place To Live" sign. It's been changed so it now says "Hell Valley" and also has bullet holes in it. In the square he bumps in to RED, the bum we saw at the end of Part 1 when Marty re-entered 1955. He's also a bum in this reality.
Red: Watch where you're going, crazy drunk pedestrian!
Marty: Red!
