Jennifer

Okay, come on, I think we're safe.

Marty

You know, this time it wasn't my fault. The Doc said all his clocks were twenty-five minutes slow -

Mr. Strickland

"Doc"!? Am I to understand you're still hanging around with Dr. Emmett Brown, McFly? [clicks with his mouth, gives Jennifer a tardy slip] Tardy slip for you, Miss Parker. [gives Marty one, too] And one for you, McFly. I believe that makes four in a row. Now let me give you a nickel's worth of free advice, young man. This so-called Dr. Brown is dangerous, he's a real nut case. You hang around with him, you're gonna end up in big trouble.

Marty
[smart-alecky]

Oh, yes, sir.

Mr. Strickland
[pushes Marty a little bit]

You got a real attitude problem, McFly. You're a slacker! You remind me of you father when he went here. He was a slacker too.

Marty

Can I go now, Mr. Strickland?

Mr. Strickland

I noticed your band is on the roster for the dance auditions after school today. Why even bother, McFly? You don't have a chance, you're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley!

Marty

Yeah, well, history is gonna change.

Jennifer (after Marty discovers his new truck): How about a ride, Mister.

Marty

Jennifer! Oh man, are you a sight for sore eyes. Let me look at you.

Jennifer

Marty, your acting like you haven't seen me in a week.

Marty

I haven't.

Jennifer

Is everything okay? Is everything going all right?

Marty
[Marty looks back at his parents]

Oh, yeah. Everything's great (as they are about to kiss, Doc Brown's time machine appears)

Marty! You've got to come back with me!

Marty

Where?

Back to the future.

Marty
[Doc opens a trash can]

Whoa, wait a minute, what are you doing, Doc?

I need fuel. Go ahead, quick. Get in the car!

Marty

No, no, no, no, no, no, Doc. I just got here, alright, Jennifer's here, we're gonna take the new truck for a spin.

Well, bring her along. This concerns her too.

Marty

Whoa, wait a minute, Doc. What are you talking about? What happens to us in the future? What, do we become assholes or something?

No, no, no, no, no, Marty. Both you and Jennifer turn out fine. It's your kids, Marty. Something's gotta be done about your kids!

Marty
[Marty and Jennifer are walking together. She carries her schoolbooks; he has the skateboard. And he's depressed.]

"Too loud". I can't believe it. I'm never gonna get a chance to play in front of anybody.

Jennifer

Marty, one rejection isn't the end of the world.

Marty

Nah, I just don't think I'm cut out for music.

Jennifer

But you're good, Marty, you're really good. And this audition tape of yours is great, you gotta send it in to the record company. It's like Doc's always saying.

Marty

Yeah. I know, I know. "If you put your mind to it, you could accomplish anything."

Jennifer
[Marty eyes some exercise ladies, and Jennifer nonchalantly turns his head back to her.]

That's good advice, Marty.

Marty

Alright, okay, Jennifer. What if I send in the tape and they don't like it? I mean, what if they say I'm no good? What if they say, "Get outta here, kid, you got no future." I mean, I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection. (sighs) Jesus, I'm beginning to sound like my old man.
