Back To The Future: Part III

Saturday, November 12, 1955
10:03 PM

Scene: The clock tower episode in 1955, changed because of Marty II's interference.

DeLorean and Marty I speeding 88 miles per hour from Back to the Future I, getting
sent back to 1985 as in the conclusion of the first movie.

Marty I: Doc!

The Marty from the first movie gets sent back to the future. The 1955 Doc (the 1985
Doc has already gone back to 1885) dances with delight because the experiment was
successful.

Doc: AHHH!! AHH!! HA! HA! HAHAHA!

The Marty from Back to the Future II (the one that continues with us throughout this
movie w/o us missing any events in his timeline) runs towards Doc.

Marty: Doc! Doc! Doc! DOC! DOC! Doc spins around and sees him. He is in shock.

Doc: AHH!

Marty: Okay, relax Doc, it's me, it's me, it's Marty!

Doc: No it can't be you…I just sent you back to the future!

Marty: I know, you did send me back to the future, but I'm back, I'm back from the
future!

Doc: Great Scott! He faints.

Marty: Doc. C'mon.

Credits scroll for Back to the Future III.

Marty is shown driving Doc home in the pouring rain following the lightning, bringing
him home. He hangs the letter from the Doc in 1885 over the fire to dry. Then they
show the next morning, with Marty sleeping in a chair with his feet on a stool over
the hoverboard, and Doc lying sleeping on a couch. The TV has been on all night but
hasn't been working because of the storm until now. Suddenly, TV service resumes.

TV: Hey kids what time is it? Howdy Doody time!

Doc gets up and clutches his head.

Doc: Great Scott! Ooh...Howdy Doody time!

Doc goes over to the recorder and begins recording his "Diary".

Doc: Date, Sunday, November 13th, 1955 7:01 AM. Last night's time travel experiment
was apparently a complete success. Lightning struck the clock tower at precisely 10:04
pm sending the necessary 1.21 jigowatts into the time vehicle, which vanished in a
brilliant flash of light leaving a pair of fire trails behind. I therefore assumed
that Marty and the time vehicle were transported forward through time into the year
1985. After that...after that...I can't recall what happened. I don't even remember
how I got home! Perhaps the jigowatt discharge coupled with the temporal displacement
field generated by the time vehicle caused a disruption of my own brain waves
resulting in a condition of temporary amnesia. Indeed I now recall the moments after
the time vehicle disappeared ... into the future ... I saw a vision of Marty saying,
"I've come back from the future." Marty gets out of his chair, with Doc facing his
back to him, and starts walking towards Doc. Undoubtedly this was some sort of -

Marty: Hey Doc. Doc. Grinning, waving. Doc spins around and is in shock.

Doc: AHHH! AHH! AHH!

Doc trips over the hoverboard trying to get away from Marty, crashes into the piano,
and is sitting on the keys. Discordant music comes from the piano.

Marty: Doc, calm down, OK? Just calm down, it's me, it's Marty.

Doc: No! It can't be you I just sent you back to the future!!

Marty: But I came back from the future, remember? Last night you fainted... I brought
you home.

Doc: This can't be happening! You can't be here! It doesn't make sense! I don't
believe you are here.

Doc runs into bathroom, slams door leaving Marty outside.

Marty: I am here, and it does make sense. I came back to 1955 with the you from 1985
to get a book back from Biff. So once we got the book back, you...that is the you from
1985…were in the DeLorean when it got struck by lightning and you got sent back to
1885!

Doc: 1885? Opens door. It's a very interesting story, Future Boy, but there's one
little thing that doesn't make sense. If the me in the future is now in the past, how
could you possibly know about it?

Marty: You sent me a letter. Shoves letter in Doc's face.

Scene: Doc's house a few minutes later. Doc is reading the letter.

Doc: "Dear Marty: If my calculations are correct, you will receive this letter
immediately after you saw the Delorean struck by lightning. First, let me assure you
that I am alive and well. I have been living happily these past eight months in the
year 1885. The lightning bolt that hit the DeLorean caused a jigowatt overload which
scrambled the time circuits, activated the flux capacitor, and sent me back to 1885.
The overload shorted out the time circuits and destroyed the flying circuits.
Unforunately, the car will never fly again." He pauses at this and turns to Marty in
amazement. It actually flew!

Marty: Yeah, well, you had a hover conversion done in the early twenty-first century.

Doc: Incredible! He goes back to reading. "I set myself up as a blacksmith as a front
while I attempted to repair the damage to the time circuits. Unfortunately, this
proved impossible because suitable replacement parts will not be invented until 1947.
However, I've gotten quite adept at shoeing horses and fixing wagons!" Doc turns over
to Marty again. 1885! Amazing. I actually end up as a blacksmith in the Ol' West.

Marty: Grinning. Pretty heavy, huh?

Doc: Reading again. "I have buried the DeLorean in the Delgato mine adjacent to the
old Boot Hill Cemetery as shown on the enclosed map. Hopefully it will remain
undisturbed and preserved until you uncover it in 1955. Inside, you will find repair
instructions. My 1955 counterpart" - that's me - "should have no problem repairing it
so you can drive it back to the future. Once you have returned to 1985, destroy the
time machine." He looks to Marty questioningly. Destroy it?

Marty: Uncomfortably, he takes the model car from BTTF I (the one Doc used to
demonstrate how Marty from the first film would return to 1985 and accidentally burned
and threw in the wastebasket) from the trash can, looks at it and puts it back. Yeah,
well, it's a long story, Doc.

Doc: "Do not - I repeat - do not attempt to come back here to get me. I am perfectly
happy living in the fresh air and wide open spaces, and I fear that unnecessary time
travel only risks further disruption of the space-time continuum. And please take care
of - Einstein for me." Again, he turns to Marty with a question in his voice.
Einstein?

Marty: He's your dog, Doc - Einstein - it's what you call your dog...in 1985. He walks
over to a chess set, in front of which Copernicus, Doc's 1955 dog, is sitting, and
begins playing the game.

Doc: Doc smirks and continues reading. "I know you will give him a good home. Remember
to walk him twice a day and that he only likes canned dog food. These are my wishes.
Please respect them and follow them. And so, Marty, I now say farewell and wish you
Godspeed. You've been a good, kind, and loyal friend to me and you made a real
difference in my life. I will always treasure our relationship, and will think on you
with fond memories, warm feelings and a special place in my heart. Your friend in
time, 'Doc.' Emmett L. Brown."

Doc: This says September 1st, 1885. I never knew I could write anything so touching.

Marty: Standing up and going over to Doc. I know, I know Doc, it's beautiful.

Copernicus whines.

Doc: Oh, it's all right, Copernicus! Everything's going to be fine.

Marty: I'm sorry, Doc, it's all my fault you're stuck back there. I never should've
let Biff get to me.

Doc: There are plenty worse places to be than the Old West. I could've ended up in the
Dark Ages. They probably would've burned me at the stake as a heretic or something.
Let's look at the map. It says here the time vehicle is buried here in a side tunnel.
We may have to blast.

Scene: Near a cemetery, Marty and Doc blow up the opening to a cave.

Marty: Whoa. I think you woke up the dead with that blast. Very ironic statement
although Marty doesn't know it.

Doc: Take this camera... I want to document everything!

Scene: Inside the cave, using flashlights trying to find the spot where the DeLorean
is hidden.

Doc: This reminds me of the time I attempted to reach the center of the earth. I'd be
reading my favorite author, Jules Verne. I spent weeks preparing for the expedition, I
didn't even get this far. Of course, I was only 12 at the time. It was the writings of
Jules Verne that had a profound effect on my life. I was 11 when I first read 20,000
Leagues Under the Sea. That's when I realized that I must devote my life into science.

Marty: Doc… check it out… look at this. He found a little cranny in the cave with
wooden planks covering it, marked by an "ELB".

Doc: My initials... just like in Journey To The Center of the Earth! That means the
time machine must be right through this wall.

Doc and Marty chop through and find the DeLorean, covered with a sheet, inside.

Doc: Sighs. It's been buried here for 70 years, 2 months, and 13 days. Astounding.

Scene: Just outside the area in the cave where the DeLorean is hidden, Marty is
reading the letter out loud and Doc is staring with a magnifying glass at the time
circuit control microchip.

Marty: "...As you can see, the lightning bolt shorted out the time circuit control
microchip. The attached she-she..."

Doc: Schematic.

Marty: "...schematic diagram will allow you to build a replacement unit with the 1955
components, thus restoring the time machine to perfect working order."

Doc: Unbelievable, that his piece of junk could be such a big problem. No wonder this
circuit failed... it says, "Made in Japan."

Marty: What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan.

Doc: Unbelievable!

Scene: At night. Doc and Marty are outside the cave now, near the cemetery, loading
stuff onto Doc's pickup truck (pick up truck? They had those in 1955?)

Doc: You know, when I was a kid I always wanted to be a cowboy. Now, knowing I'll
spend my future in the past it sounds like a wonderful way to spend my retirement
years. It just occurred to me…since I end up in 1885 perhaps I'm now in the history
books. I wonder…could I go to the library and look myself up in the old newspaper
archives?

Marty: I dunno, Doc, you're the one whose always saying, you know, it's not too good
to know too much about your own destiny.

Doc: You're right, Marty … I know too much already. Better that I not attempt to
uncover the circumstances of my own… future. Calling out for his dog, about to get
into the car. Copernicus! Come home boy!

Marty: I'll get him Doc. Copernicus!

Whining.

Marty: Come on, let's go home, boy.

Whining.

Marty: What's wrong? What's wrong, Copernicus, come on, let's go home. Come on. Marty
finds Copernicus whining in front of a tombstone. He quickly shines the flashlight on
the tombstone writing but doesn't seem to notice it, although to the audience it is
quite clear that it is marked "Here Lies Emmett Brown." Seconds later, he returns
carrying Copernicus keeps his flashlight on the tombstone.

Marty: DOC! DOC! Come here! Quick!

Doc runs out from the car and sees Marty stooping at the tombstone.

Doc: What's wrong, Marty? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Marty: You're not far off, Doc. Look at this.

Doc: Apparently reading the tombstone and clutching his chest appearing to go into
convulsions. Oh! Great Scott!

Marty: Check this out. "Died, September 7th, 1885." That's one week after you wrote
the letter! "Erected in eternal memory by his beloved Clara." Spins around to face
Doc, stands up. Who the hell is Clara??!!

Doc: Marty, please don't stand there!!

Marty: Oh, right, sorry. I gotta get another picture. Takes picture of tombstone.

Doc: "…shot in the back by Buford Tannen over a matter of 80 dollars!" What kind of a
future do you call that?!

Scene: Library at night, apparently the library is closed. Lights are turned off, the
only light in the room is one of those desk-light things Marty is standing at looking
at old newspapers while Doc searches for more things.

Marty: Reading. "Buford Tannen was a notorious gunman whose short temper and a
tendency to drool earned him the nickname Mad Dog. He was quick on the trigger and
bragged that he had killed 12 men, not including Indians or Chinamen."

Doc: Does it mention me? Am I one of the twelve?

Marty: Just a minute. "However, this claim can not be substantiated since precise
records were not kept after Tannen shot a newspaper editor after printing an
unfavorable story about him in 1884." That's why we can't find anything.

Doc: Bringing out a book of old family pictures. Look ... the William McFly family.
Your relatives?

Marty: My great-grandfather's name was William. Lays finger over photograph of his
ancestor. That's him. Good looking guy. Note: Michael J. Fox is playing Marty and in
the photograph, Michael J. Fox is posing as William. Obviously the writers are using
this connection to make a joke.

Doc: McFlys...but no Browns!

Marty: Look, Doc, maybe it was mistake. Maybe that grave wasn't yours. There could've
been another Emmett Brown back in 1885. Did you have any relatives here back then?

Doc: Shaking head. The Browns came to America in 1908, and then they were the Von
Brauns. My father changed our name in World War I.

Marty: Doc! Look! Thumbing through photos, he has found a picture of Doc on September
5, 1885 in front of the brand new clock now in the clock tower.

Doc: Oh! Great Scott! It's me! Then it is true. All of it. It is me who goes back
there…and gets shot.

Marty: It's not gonna happen Doc. Doc looks at him quizzically. After you fix the time
circuits and put new tires on the DeLorean, I'm going back to 1885 and I'm bringing
you home.

Scene: At a drive-in outside of Hill Valley. Marty is in the bathroom getting dressed
in a Western costume while Doc is outside preparing the DeLorean.

Doc: The clothes fit?

Marty: Calling out from inside. Yeah! Everything except the boots, Doc. They're kind
of tight! I dunno, are you sure this stuff is authentic?

Doc: Of course. Haven't you ever seen a Western?

Marty: Coming out, shown dressed in a ridiculous pink outfit probably used in early
un-authentic Westerns. Yeah, I have Doc, but Clint Eastwood never wore anything like
this.

Doc: Clint who?

Marty: That's right. Points finger at a movie poster, the first Western movie starring
Clint Eastwood. You haven't heard of him yet.

Doc: Marty, you have to wear the boots. You can't wear those futuristic things in
1885. You shouldn't even be wearing them in 1955. Indicating his Nike's.

Marty: All right, Doc, look. Once I get there I'll put them on, I promise.

Doc: Okay, I think we're about ready. I put gas in the tank, your future clothes are
packed, just in case fresh batteries for your walkie-talkies. Oh, and what about that
floating device?

Marty: Hoverboard.

Doc: Alright. Picking up Hoverboard and putting it in the DeLorean.

Marty: You know Doc, it's gonna be a hell of long walk back to Hill Valley from here.

Doc: It's still the safest plan. After all, we can't risk sending you back to a
populated area, or to a spot that's geographically unknown. You don't want to crash
into some trees that once existed in the past. This is all completely open country! So
you'll have plenty of run-out space when you arrive. Remember where you're going there
are no roads. There's a small cave over there which will be a perfect place to hide
the time vehicle. Well, the new time circuit control tubes are warmed up! Starting up
DeLorean. Time circuits on. I wrote the letter on September 1st, so we'll send you
back the very next day. September 2nd, that's a Wednesday. September 2nd, 1885, 8 AM.
I get shot on Monday the 7th, so you have 5 days to locate me. According to my letter
I'm a blacksmith, so I probably have a shop somewhere. Calling out. All you have to do
is drive the time vehicle directly towards that screen accelerating at 88 miles per
hour.

Marty: Wait a minute, Doc. If I drive straight towards the screen, I'll crash into
those Indians. Indicating a mural painting of Indians behind the movie screen.

Doc: Marty. You're not thinking fourth dimensionally! You'll instantly be transported
to 1885, and those Indians won't even be there.

Marty: Right.

Doc: Well, good luck, for both of our sakes. See you in the future. Pats Marty on the
shoulder.

Marty: You mean the past.

Doc: Exactly! Running out away from DeLorean near the small building w/ bathrooms. He
will use a pistol to start Marty off. Happy trails Marty! Ready Marty?

Marty: Starting up car. Ready!

Doc: Set!

Marty: Mumbling while he pulls the lever into driving mode. Hi ho silver.

Doc shoots pistol. Marty drives toward the screen. The Back to the Future theme is
played.

Doc: Viya con dios!

Marty is transported through time right before he is about to crash into the Indian
mural. He figures the Indians are gone, but he sees ahead, a tribe of real war Indians
whooping and riding directly towards him.

Marty: INDIANS!

Marty: AHHHH!! He spins around for a while and finally spots the cave Doc had talked
about earlier. The cave!

He drives toward the cave and watches the Indians and their
horses leaping over the cave away from something. Marty, thinking he's safe, ventures
out and climbs up to see nothing. Suddenly he hears a trumpet playing and a bunch of
cowboys riding directly towards him.

Marty: Shit, the cavalry!!

Gets back into cave. Once he sees that the coast is clear,
he looks over the DeLorean and sees an arrow that an Indian shot into the car. He
pulls it out and stoops to look underneath, and sees liquid dripping from the bottom
of the car. Damn, I ripped the fuel line.

He opens the DeLorean wing doors and takes out his boots and a tiny photo of Doc's
tombstone, stuffing the latter in his back pocket. He stands there for a moment, not
doing anything. Suddenly he hears the sound of a bear roaring. He looks up to see a
giant brown bear standing only a few yards away from him.

Marty: AHHH!! AHH!!

Bear roars again and stands up on hind legs.

Marty: AHH!! AH! AH! WHO WHO!

He runs away from the bear and out of the cave, dropping
his boots along the way. The bear sniffs curiously at the boots and stops, nosing
through it. Marty, however, keeps running while looking at the bear and trips, sliding
down a hill. He tries to stop but he can't. UH! He crashes at the bottom of the hill
on a farmer's fence and instantly passes out.

Seamus: Maggie! Fetch some water, we got a hurt man here!

We see a boot shot of Seamus first, then the rest of his body. He is
also played by Michael J. Fox. He talks with an Irish accent.

Scene: Darkened room with bed.

Marty: Mom...Mom, is that you?

Woman's Voice: There there now, you've been asleep for nearly 6
hours now.

Marty: I had this horrible nightmare. It was terrible. I dreamed I was in a
western...I was being chased by Indians. And a bear.

Woman's Voice: Well, you're safe and sound, here now at the McFly farm.
