  • [Knocking on door]

  • [Electronic warbling]

  • MARTY: Doc?

  • Don't say a word.

  • DOC: No names. I want to know nothing about you.

  • MARTY: Listen, Doc... DOC: Quiet!

  • DOC: Don't tell me anything.

  • MARTY: You got to help... DOC: Quiet.

  • [Electronic warbling]

  • I'm going to read your thoughts.

  • Let's see now. You come here from a great distance?

  • - Yeah. Exactly. - Don't tell me!

  • DOC: You want me to subscribe to the Saturday Evening Post.

  • - No. - Not a word now!

  • Quiet.

  • Donations.

  • You want me to make a donation...

  • ...to the Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary.

  • Doc...

  • [Electronics grow silent]

  • ...l'm from the future.

  • I came here in a time machine that you invented.

  • Now, I need your help to get back to the year 1985.

  • My God!

  • Do you know what this means?

  • It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all!

  • MARTY: You got to help me. You are the only one who knows how your time machine works.

  • [Whispering] Time machine?

  • I haven't invented any time machine.

  • Okay. I'll prove it to you.

  • Look at my driver's license. Expires 1987.

  • Look at my birthday. I haven't even been born yet.

  • And look at this picture.

  • It's my brother, my sister and me.

  • Look at her sweatshirt, Doc. "Class of 1984"?

  • DOC: Pretty mediocre photographic fakery. They cut off your brother's hair.

  • I'm telling the truth. You got to believe me.

  • Then tell me, future boy...

  • ...who's president of the United States in 1985?

  • - Ronald Reagan. - Ronald Reagan? The actor?

  • [Doc exclaims]

  • Then who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?

  • DOC: I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady. MARTY: Wait, Doc!

  • DOC: And Jack Benny is treasury secretary.

  • MARTY: Listen to me.

  • I've had enough jokes for one evening. Good night, future boy!

  • MARTY: No, wait, Doc.

  • MARTY: The bruise on your head. I know how that happened. You told me.

  • You were standing on your toilet hanging a clock...

  • ...and you fell and hit your head on the sink.

  • That's when you got the idea for the flux capacitor which...

  • ...is what makes time travel possible.
