Back to the Future 1985 quotes, page 4

Marty

Uh, this is heavy duty, Doc. This is great. Uh, does it run like on, on regular, unleaded gasoline?

Unfortunately, no. It requires something with a little more kick; Plutonium!

Marty

Uh, Plutonium... Wait a minute, are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?!

Hey! Hey, hey, keep rolling, keep rolling there! No, no, no, no, no. This sucker's electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need.

Marty

Doc, you don't just walk into a store and buy plutonium! Did you rip that off?

Of course! From a group of Libyan nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb, so I took their plutonium and in turn gave them a shoddy bomb casing full of used pinball machine parts!

Marty

Wait, you don't understand. You gotta play. If there's no music they can't dance. If they can't dance they can't kiss, if they can't kiss, they can't fall in love and I'm history!

Look kid, the dance is over, unless you know somebody that can play the guitar.

Marty

What about all that talk about screwing up future events? The space-time continuum?

Well, I figured, what the hell!

Lord, what is it, what is it, Paw?

Looks like a airplane... without wings!

That ain't no airplane. Look! [shows father "Tales from Space" comic book]

Save the clock tower! Save the clock tower! Mayor Wilson is sponsoring an initiative to replace that clock. Thirty years ago, lightning struck that clock tower and the clock hasn't run since. We at the Hill Valley Preservation Society think it should be preserved exactly the way it is as part of our history and heritage -

Marty

Here you go, lady. Here's a quarter.

Thank you. Don't forget to take a flyer. (going off into distance) Save the clock tower!...

Note: These lines are from a deleted segment of the "Darth Vader from Planet Vulcan" scene.

Marty

You, George McFly, have created a rift in the space-time continium!

George

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!

George

Lorraine. My density has bought me to you.

Lorraine

What?

George

Oh. What I meant to say was...

Lorraine

Wait a minute. Don't I know you from somewhere?

George

Yes. Yes. I'm George. George McFly. I'm your density. I mean, your destiny.

Lorraine

Oh.

:

What am I wearing?

Marty McFly

Oh this, this is a radiation suit.

Radiation suit? Of course! Because of all the fallout from the atomic wars! This is incredible. A portable television studio! No wonder your president has got to be an actor, he has to look good on television.

Marty

"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

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.

George

Wh-who are you?

Marty

Silence earthling! My name is Darth Vader. (heavy breathing) I am an extraterrestial from the planet Vulcan! [Gives Vulcan salute]

George

What?

Marty

You're George McFly.

George

Yeah. Who are you?

Goldie Wilson

Say, why do let those boys push you around like that for?

George

Well, they're bigger than me.

Goldie Wilson

Stand tall, boy. Have some respect for yourself. Don't you know if you let people walk over you now, they'll be walking over you for the rest of your life! Look at me. You think I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in this slop house?

Watch it, Goldie!

Goldie Wilson

No, sir! I'm gonna make something of myself. I'm going to night school and one day I'm gonna be somebody!

Marty

That's right, he's gonna be mayor!

Goldie Wilson

Yeah, I'm gonna... mayor. Now that's a good idea. I could run for mayor.

A colored mayor, that'll be the day.

Goldie Wilson

You wait and see, Mr. Carruthers. I will be mayor! I'll be the most powerful mayor in Hill Valley and I'm gonna clean up this town.

Good. You can start by sweeping the floor.

Goldie Wilson

"Mayor Goldie Wilson". I like the sound of that.

Marty McFly

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! BASTARDS!!!!

Marty McFly

Let's see if you bastards can do 90!

Damn! Where is that kid! [looks at another watch] Damn! [and another] Damn, damn!

Marty McFly

Damn, I'm late for school!
