Doc: Marty, Marty! Marty!
Doc leaves the garage.
Doc: Marty, Marty? Damn!
Doc tears the price tag off his hat.
Doc: Where is that kid?
Music: Papa Loves Mambo by Perry Combo
Cut to Biff's car. He's driving to the dance. A tunnel lies ahead. Marty gets the walkie-talkie.
Marty: (w.t) Doc, Doc, come in!
Cut to Doc.
Marty: (v.o) Come in Doc!
Doc: (w.t) Marty, Marty, come in!
Cut to Marty.
Marty: (w.t) Doc!
The car enters the tunnel, meaning the radio and the walkie-talkies are cut off temporally. Cut to Doc.
Doc: (w.t) Marty? (normally) Oh my.....
We see what Doc has spotted. It's the DeLorean from Part 1 under the covers! Doc goes over to it.
Doc: Great Scott!
He lifts up the covers and peers in.
Doc: (mumbling) Oh my God.
Cut to the car. The walkie-talkies seem to be working again.
Marty: (w.t) Doc, Doc, come in!
Cut to Doc.
Doc: (w.t) Marty, what happened to you? I went to Biff's house and you weren't there.
Cut to Marty.
Marty: (w.t) You must have just missed me. I'm in the back of Biff's car. He's on his way to the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance.
Cut to Doc.
Doc: (w.t) Marty, listen, we're going to have to abort this entire plan, it's getting much too dangerous!
Marty: (v.o) Don't worry, the book is on Biff's dashboard.
Cut to Marty. The car has just left the tunnel.
Marty: (w.t, continued) I'll grab it as soon as we get to the school.
Cut to Doc.
Doc: (w.t) Marty! You must be extremely careful not to run into your other self.
1955 DOC appears. He makes some adjustments to his "weather experiment." Neither Doc sees the other.
Marty: (v.o) My other self?
Doc: (w.t) Yes! Remember, your mother is at that exact same dance with you! Yeah!
Marty: (v.o) Yeah, this could get heavy Doc.
Doc: (mutters to himself) Heavy, heavy. (w.t) Whatever happens, you must not let your other self see you. The consequences could be disastrous.
1955 Doc: Excuse me, sir. Yes, you with the hat.
Doc (I'll call him 1985 Doc here to avoid confusion) pulls down his hat so his past self won't recognise him.
1985 Doc: Who me?
1955 Doc: Yes, be a pal and hand my five-eighths wrench out of that toolbox.
1985 Doc: Five-eighths? Don't you mean three-quarters?
1955 Doc: Why, you're right.
1985 Doc: I presume you're conducting some sort of weather experiment.
1955 Doc: That's right. How did you know that?
1985 Doc: Oh, I happen to have a little experience in this area.
1955 Doc: Yes, well, I'm hoping to see some lightning tonight, although the weatherman says there is not going to be any rain.
1985 Doc: There's going to be plenty of rain all right. Wind, thunder, lightning. It's going to be one hell of a storm.
1955 Doc: Well, thanks. Nice talking to you. Maybe we'll bump into each other some time again in the future.
1985 Doc: Or in the past.
1985 Doc gets on his bike and ride off, ringing his bell. 1955 Doc looks up. That ring sounded very familiar! Meanwhile Biff arrives at the school.
Music: Night Train by Marvin Berry and the Starlighters
The above tune is being played from inside the hall and can be heard outside. Biff gets out of his car. Marty watches him walk off, and tries to grab the almanac. Biff suddenly remembers it, and comes back for it. Marty hides away just in time. Biff re-enters the building, and Marty follows him in. He watches Biff enter the hall where the dance is being held, but Marty stays outside.
Marty: (w.t) Doc, Doc, come in!
Marty notices something. He uses the binoculars to check. It's his father, GEORGE, dancing by himself! George is there waiting to go and meet up with Lorraine and "Calvin". Marty enters the hall and travels through the dancers. He spots Biff and his gang - 3-D, MATCH and SKINHEAD - drinking liquor and reading a naughty magazine called Ooh La La. The Almanac is in Biff's pocket. Marty uses the binoculars to see Skinhead nudging Biff. Marty sees that Skinhead saw MR STRICKLAND watching them. Biff and his gang walk off as Strickland walks to them. Marty pulls down his hat and follows them. Outside, Marty spots Biff and his gang standing on some stairs. Biff is reading something. 3-D is holding a bottle of liquor. We stay focused on Marty as:
Biff: (o.s) Where's that punk Calvin Klein?
Skinhead: (o.s) How am I supposed to know? I ain't his secretary.
We cut to the gang.
Biff: Well go find him. He cost me three hundred bucks damage to my car, and I owe him a knuckle sandwich. Get going!
3-D offers Biff the bottle.
3-D: Here you go Biff!
The gang start to walk off, then:
3-D: You coming?
Biff: I'm reading.
The gang walk past Marty but don't see him. Marty sees a familiar car approach. It's 1955 Doc's Packard - with the Marty from Part 1 (1955 MARTY) and 1955 LORRAINE inside! Marty turns to Biff. The almanac is in Biff's pocket. He jumps down and falls behind Biff. Biff hears a sound, but thinks nothing of it and goes back to his book. Marty almost has the almanac when:
Strickland: Well, well, well, Mr Tannen. How nice to see you here.
Biff: Why Mr Strickland, it's nice to see you sir.
Strickland: Is that liquor I smell, Tannen?
Biff: Uh, I wouldn't know, I don't know what liquor smells like 'coz I'm too young to drink it.
Strickland: I see. And what have we here? Sports statistics, interesting subject. Homework, Tannen?
Biff: No, it ain't homework, 'coz, uh, I'm ain't at home.
Biff chuckles. Strickland doesn't find it so amusing and pushes Biff.
Strickland: You've got a real attitude problem, Tannen. Watch it! Or one day, I'll have you right where I want you, in detention. Slacker!
Strickland walks off. Marty follows him (Biff goes the other way). Strickland walks past the Packard, Marty freezes beside it.
1955 Marty: (o.s) Jesus, you smoke too?
Lorraine: (o.s) Marty, you're beginning to sound just like my mother!
1985 Marty creeps past the car unseen as we hear Lorraine and 1955 Marty speaking.
Lorraine: When I have kids, I'm going to let them do anything they want. Anything at all.
1955 Marty: (in the car) I'd like to have that in writing.
1985 Marty: (outside the car) Yeah, me too.
1985 Marty walks off to catch Strickland. As he leaves we hear:
Lorraine: (o.s) Marty, why are you so nervous?
Marty enters the high school and walks to Strickland's office. The sign says "S S Strickland, Discipline." Marty pears in and sees Strickland pouring himself a drink He puts the almanac on his desk. Marty quietly opens the door and creeps inside, unheard. The door slowly closes. Marty gets to the desk. He moves a little American flag on the desk out of the way and leans forward to grab the almanac. However the door closes and Strickland gets up. He goes to the door, wondering what happened, then opens and closes it again before sitting down. As he walks past his desk, we see Marty underneath it. Strickland hears something outside and moves his chair to the window to take a closer look. Marty tries to grab the almanac, but just as he does Strickland moves back again, hurting Marty's hand. Strickland finishes his drink, as Marty has his hat in his mouth to stop himself from making a noise and giving himself away. Strickland leans forward and Marty "rescues" his hand. Strickland gets up and takes the almanac. He leaves and throws the almanac in the bin. Once he's sure Strickland has gone, Marty gets it out of the bin.
Marty: Yes!
He flicks through, and to his horror it's not the almanac! It's Biff's girl magazine, with naked women in it, called Ooh L
a La. It seems Biff was hiding the magazine inside the almanac cover.
Marty: No! Ooh La La? (pause) Ooh La La? Ooh La La?
He gets out the walkie-talkie.
Marty: (w.t) Doc, Doc!
Marty is standing by the window, and we can see Doc's Packard from Part 1 outside. Outside, George walks up to Lorraine's car. Marty does not see or hear him.
George: Hey you, get your damn hands off her! (realises who's in there) Oh!
Marty: (w.t) Doc, dammit, come in.
Doc: (v.o) Marty, what's up?
Marty: (w.t) Doc, Doc, I'm in trouble, I blew it!
Cut to Doc.
Doc: (w.t) Where's the book?
Marty: (v.o) I dunno, Biff must still have it with him, all I have is the cover.
Cut to Marty.
Doc: (v.o) But where's Biff?
Outside, Biff has confronted George.
Biff: Alright, McFly, you're asking for it, and now you're gonna get it.
Marty: (w.t) I dunno!
Doc: (v.o) Well, do you have any idea where he is?
Marty: (w.t) No, he could be anywhere by now!
Cut to Doc.
Doc: (w.t) Marty, the entire future depends on you finding Biff and getting that book back!
Cut to Marty. Outside, Biff gets out of the car. George tries to punch him, but Biff grabs his arm and twists it, causing George to let out cries of pain.
Marty: (w.t) I know! I just don't know where...
Lorraine: Stop it, stop it Biff! You're gonna break his arm! Stop it!
Marty has heard her this time!
Marty: Of course! (w.t) I gotta go, I got one chance, my old man's about to deck Biff!
Marty runs outside. George hits Biff in the face. Biff falls down to the floor. George looks at his fist with a "I can't believe it! I did it!" expression and then turns to Lorraine.
Marty: Yes!
Student: (o.s) There's a fight over here, come on guys!
Marty: Talk about deja vu.
George: Are you OK?
He helps Lorraine up and they walk hand in hand to the gym. A crowd, including 1955 Marty and the WALLET GUY (the reasons for this name will soon be revealed), has developed. 1955 Marty checks his photograph and runs off. 1985 Marty goes over to Biff once his parents and 1955 Marty have left.
Marty: OK everybody, let's back up now, huh, let's backup, just everybody back up. Give him a little bit of room, OK, a little bit of air. It's OK. I know CPR, (to Wallet Guy) I know CPR.
Biff is beginning to wake up.
Biff: Hey...
Wallet Guy: What's CPR?
Biff wakes up and looks at Marty.
Biff: (to Marty) You!
Marty punches him again - he falls unconscious. Marty takes the Almanac out of Biff's jacket.
Marty: He's fine.
Marty runs off.
Wallet Guy: Hey, did you just take his wallet? He just took that guy's wallet!
Cut to Doc at the DeLorean. Marty can be heard through the walkie-talkie.
Marty: (v.o) Doc, success, I got it!
Doc: Thank goodness. (w.t) Great Marty, as soon as I reload the fusion generator, I'll meet you on the roof of the high school gym.
Cut to Marty.
Marty: (w.t) On the roof, 10-4.
Marty turns the corner to meet up with Biff's gang.
3-D: Hey, it's him!
Skinhead: And he's in disguise!
Marty: Guys, what's that?
He points in the other direction, they turn and look, and he pushes past them like he did with Griff's gang in 2015. Marty runs off. The gang gets up.
3-D: Come on, let's get him!
Meanwhile the DeLorean takes off and accidentally hits the Lyon Estates billboard.
Doc: Damn!
He accidentally turns the time circuits on, and the bump causes the Destination Time to turn to JAN 01 1885 12 00. Doc doesn't notice though. The DeLorean flies off with a flag pennant attached to the rear wheel. Meanwhile Marty enters the dance. MARVIN BERRY is on the stage singing. 1955 Marty is also there, playing the guitar, and George and Lorraine are there dancing.
Music: Earth Angel by Marvin Berry & The Starlighters
Marvin: (singing) Earth Angel, Earth Angel, will you be mine? My darling, dear, love you all the time.
George waves to 1955 Marty up on the stage. 1955 Marty waves back.
Marvin: (singing) I'm just a fool, a fool in love, with you.
George and Lorraine kiss. Biff's gang enter the dance and Marty hides underneath a table, his hat falls off and he grabs it just in time.
Marvin: (o.s) Let's do another one!
Skinhead: Where'd he go? He just came in here?
1955 Marty: (o.s) Something that really cooks.
3-D spots 1955 Marty on the stage about to play Johnny B Goode.
3-D: Look. How'd he get up on stage?
Skinhead: I dunno, but when he gets down we're gonna nail him.
Match: How the hell'd he change his clothes so fast?
1955 Marty: (o.s) ...an oldie where I come from. (to Starlighters) All right guys, it's a blues riff in B, watch me for the changes, and uh, try and keep up, OK?
Music: Johnny B Goode by Marty McFly with the Starlighters
Biff's gang goes up to the side of the stage as 1955 Marty starts to play. They're there waiting for him to finish the song before they nail him. Only 1985 Marty sees them. He gets out his walkie-talkie.
Marty: (w.t) Doc!
Cut to Doc.
Marty: (v.o) Doc, come in!
Doc: (w.t) Marty, come in!
Cut to Marty. The song is still going.
Marty: (w.t) Listen Doc, Biff's guys chased me into the gym and they're gonna jump.....me!
Cut to Doc.
Doc: (w.t) Then get out of there!
Marty: (v.o) No Doc, not me, the other me, the one's that's up on stage playing Johnny B Goode!
Doc: (w.t) Great Scott! Your other self will miss the lightning bolt at the clocktower, you won't get back to the future and we'll have a major paradox!
Cut to Marty.
Marty: (w.t) Wait, wait, a paradox? You mean one of those things that could destroy the universe?
Doc: (v.o) Precisely!
Cut to Doc.
Doc: (w.t) Marty, you have to stop those guys at all costs but without being seen by your other self - or your parents!
Marty: (w.t) 10-4!
Meanwhile Biff is waking up again.
Biff: Where is he?
Wallet Guy: Who?
Biff: Calvin Klein.
Wallet Guy: Who?
Biff: The guy with the hat. Where is he?
Wallet Guy: Oh.
He points towards the gym.
Wallet Guy: He went that away.
Biff runs to the gym. The wallet guy calls after him.
Wallet Guy: I think he took your wallet!
He turns to the crowd.
Wallet Guy: I think he took his wallet.
Back in the gym, 1955 Marty is still playing.
1955 Marty: (singing) Go Johnny go, go, go; Johnny B Goode.
1985 Marty hums along for a few moments then sees Biff's gang again. They are on the side platform, with weapons, waiting for 1955 Marty to finish so they can beat him up.
1955 Marty: (singing) Go, go, go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go, go; go Johnny go, go; Go Johnny go, go, go; Johnny B Goode
1985 Marty spots sandbags above Biff's gang. He climbs the rigging above the stage and slowly crawls across it. We see a view of 1955 Marty playing his guitar solo with 1985 Marty, almost hidden, climbing along the top. He is unseen. Marvin makes his phonecall to his cousin Chuck. 1985 Marty tries to untie the rope holding up the sandbags.
Marty: Come on....
He manages it, and the sandbags fall on Biff's gang.
Match/Skinhead/3-D: Oomph!
They fall unconscious. 1955 Marty goes a bit overboard, and by the time he's finished playing some rock music, the dance is silent, looking at
him. 1985 Marty climbs down. 1955 Marty looks at the crowd.
Strickland is covering his ears.
Marty: I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
1985 Marty leaves the stage and gets out the walkie-talkie.
Marty: (w.t) Hey Doc, success, everything's cool.
Doc: (v.o) Great, I'll be landing on the school roof in about 1 minute.
Marty: (w.t) I'll be there.
1985 Marty exits through the door. 1955 Marty exits, but sees Lorraine before he gets to the door.
1955 Marty: Lorraine!
Lorraine: Marty, that was very interesting music.
(Note: This line was said slightly differently in Part 2 than in Part 1, as they re-shot the scene so that George was not included in the frame.) 1985 Marty watches this through the door.
Lorraine: I hope you don't mind but George asked if he could take me home.
1955 Marty: Great good, good, Lorraine. I had a feeling about you two.
Lorraine: I have a feeling too.
Biff appears at the door next to 1985 Marty, who is still watching them.
Biff: Hey butthead! You think that stupid disguise will get by me? Let's have it out. You and me, right now.
Marty: No thanks.
He starts to walk away.
Biff: What's the matter, where are you going?
Inside, 1955 Marty heads for the door, and then turns back to the couple.
1955 Marty: Oh, one other thing.....
Outside:
Biff: Are you, chicken? That's it, isn't it? Nothing but a little chicken.
Marty turns around.
Marty: Nobody calls me chick-
1955 Marty exits the gym, slamming the door on his future self's head and causing 1985 Marty to fall over. Neither Marty sees the other, and Biff luckily doesn't see that there's two of them. Biff turns to 1985 Marty. He can sees that Marty has the almanac.
Biff: What the hell?
He takes the almanac.
Biff: You steal my stuff?
He kicks Marty in the stomach.
Marty: Whoa!
Biff: And this one's for my car!
He kicks Marty again. Marty watches Biff get into his car. Marty gets up, minus his hat (he just leaves it there) and tries to follow Biff, but Biff drives off. Marty heads for the high school roof by running up the stairs, where he sees Doc with the DeLorean.
Marty: Doc? Doc, I blew it. Biff nailed me, he took the book and he drove away with it in his car. It's my fault Doc, I should have gotten out of there sooner.
