A scene from Back to the Future 1985
Marty

Look, Doc, you gotta help me. You're the only one who knows how your time machine works.

Doc Brown

Time machine? I haven't invented any time machine.

Marty

Okay. Okay, I'll prove it to you. Look at my driver's license. Expires: 1987. Look at my birth date, for crying out loud, I haven't even been born yet! Oh, and look at this picture. It's my brother, my sister and me. Look at her sweatshirt, Doc, class of 1984.

Doc Brown

Pretty mediocre photographic fakery; they cut off your brother's hair!

Marty

Listen, Doc, you got to believe me.

Doc Brown

Then tell me, Future Boy. Who's President of the United States in 1985?

Marty

Ronald Reagan.

Doc Brown

Ronald Reagan? The actor!? [chuckles in disbelief] Then who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady? And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury!
