  Produced by Bob Gale & Neil Canton

  OCTOBER 26, 1985

  MARTY opens his garage. Inside is the Toyota truck he admired at the start of Part 1. Marty walks up to it and looks inside. He slaps the door of the truck. JENNIFER walks up to the garage.

  Jennifer: How about a ride, Mister?

  Marty: Jennifer, oh are you a sight for sore eyes. Let me look at you.

  Jennifer: Marty, you're acting like you haven't seen me in a week.

  Marty: I haven't.

  Jennifer: You OK, is everything all right?

  Marty looks at the window. GEORGE & LORRAINE are there, smiling as they watch Marty. They turn and walk off when they realise he can see them.

  Marty: Aw yeah, everything is great.

  Marty & Jennifer are about to kiss when three sonic booms are heard. They look up to see the DeLorean on the drive way. It's knocked over a few trash cans. DOC gets out, wearing futuristic clothing.

  Doc: Marty, you gotta come back with me!

  Marty: Where?

  Doc: Back to the future.

  Doc goes through the trash can, picking out some rubbish.

  Marty: Wait a minute, what are you doing, Doc?

  Doc: I need fuel. Go ahead, quick, get in the car.

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

  Doc: Well, bring her along. This concerns her too.

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

  Doc pauses, something he didn't do in Part 1!!!

  Doc: No, no, no, no, no, Marty, both you and Jennifer turn out fine. It's your kids, Marty, something has got to be done about your kids!

  Cut to the DeLorean reversing down the street. We see it has a futuristic licence plate. Cut to inside, where Marty & Jennifer are together on the passenger seat.

  Marty: Hey, Doc, we better back up, we don't have enough roads to get up to 88.

  Doc: Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.

  Doc pulls down his "glasses". Cut to the house, where BIFF comes outside.

  Biff: Hey Marty, Marty, I wanna show you these new matchbooks for my auto detailing I had printed up.....

  Biff sees the DeLorean's wheels lift up. The car can fly!

  Biff: A flying DeLorean?

  It blasts off down the street, turns around, and heads towards the camera before disappearing into the future, leaving trails of fire behind in the sky.

  Biff: What the hell is going on here?

  CREDITS FOR PART 2.

  OCTOBER 21, 2015

  After the credits we see a skyway with flying cars and floating road signs. The three sonic booms are heard and the DeLorean arrives in the future. Cut to inside the car, where Marty & Jennifer scream. Cut back to the skyway, where we see the DeLorean almost collides with a taxi. In the background is a sign saying "Courthouse Square Exit". Cut back to the car.

  Marty: What the hell was that?

  Doc: Taxi-cab.

  Marty: What do you mean, a taxi cab? I thought we were flying.

  Doc: We are.

  Marty: Alright Doc, what's going on, huh? Where are we? When are we?

  Doc lifts up his "glasses" and looks at the time displays.

  Doc: We are descending towards Hill Valley, California, at 4.29pm, on Wednesday, October 21st, 2015.

  Marty: 2015? You mean we're in the future?

  Jennifer: Future, Marty? What do you mean? How can we be in the future?

  Marty: Uh Jennifer, I don't know how to tell you this, but.....you're in a time machine.

  Jennifer: And this is the year 2015?

  Doc: October 21st 2015.

  Jennifer: God, so like you weren't kidding! Marty, we can actually see our futures! (To Doc) Doc, you said we were married, right?

  Doc: Uhhh....

  Doc smiles a bit.

  Jennifer: Yeah, was it a big wedding? (to Marty) Marty, we'll be able to see our wedding!

  Marty: Wow.

  Jennifer: I'll be able to see my wedding dress.

  Marty: Wow.

  Jennifer: I wonder where we live, I bet its a big house, with lots of kids. How many kids.....

  Doc gets out a gadget and shines it on Jennifer. She falls back, unconscious.

  Marty: Doc, what the hell are you doing?

  Doc: Relax Marty, it's a sleep-induced alpha-rhythm generator. She was asking too many questions and no-one should know too much about their future.

  Marty feels Jennifer's face.

  Marty: Then what did you bring her for?

  Doc: I had to do something! She saw the time machine, I couldn't just leave her there with that information. Don't worry, she's not essential to my plan.

  Marty: You're the Doc, Doc.

  Doc: Here's our exit.

  The DeLorean leaves the skyway. Sign in the background says "Phoenix : Boston : London" and underneath "Local traffic: Hill Valley exit next right." After leaving the skyway it passes a floating sign, "Welcome to Hill Valley. Mayor Goldie Wilson II. A nice place to live. Please fly carefully." The DeLorean descends down into Hill Valley. Cut to an alleyway, where the DeLorean lands. Laser discs and a "Fusion Industries" generator are in the background. Doc opens the DeLorean doors.

  Doc: First you gotta get out and change clothes.

  Marty: Right now? It's pouring rain.

  Doc looks at his watch.

  Doc: Wait five more seconds.

  The rain stops in exactly five seconds.

  Doc: Right on the tick. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Too bad the post office isn't as efficient as the weather service.

  Marty and Doc get out of the DeLorean. Doc's wearing a rubber mask! He starts peeling it off.

  Doc: Excuse the disguise, Marty, but I was afraid you wouldn't recognise me. I went to a rejuvenation clinic and got an all-natural overhaul. They took out some wrinkles, did a hair repair, changed the blood - added a good thirty or forty years to my life. They also replaced my spleen and colon. What do you think?

  Doc "models" his new face.

  Marty: You look great, Doc.

  Marty looks around.

  Marty: (mutters to himself) The future.....unbelievable..... (to Doc) I gotta check this out Doc.

  Doc: All in good time Marty, we're on a tight schedule here.

  Marty: Tell me about my future. I mean, I know I make it big, but what do I become like a rich rock star or something?

  Doc: Please Marty, no-one should know too much about their own destiny.

  Marty: Right, right.....I am rich though?

  Doc gets a bag out of the DeLorean.

  Doc: Marty, please, take off your shirt.

  Marty does so.

  Doc: Put on the jacket and shoes.

  Doc goes into the car and gets out a pair of futuristic binoculars. It looks a bit like a very thin camera.

  Doc: We've got a mission to accomplish!

  He runs to the end of the alleyway and uses this gadget. Cut to a street. Doc looks at a woman walking down it, then MARTY MCFLY JUNIOR walks past her. Doc uses the gadget to watch Marty Junior, who looks almost like his father aged 17 (ie 1985 Marty) walk into a futuristic 'phone box.

  Doc: (muttering) Precisely on schedule.

  Cut to Marty. He's go the shoes out of the bag and put the right one on his foot. It automatically laces up!

  Marty: Power laces, all right!

  He puts on the left shoe and it does the same thing. Marty the
n gets the jacket out of the bag and puts it on. It's a bit big! Cut to Doc running back towards Marty. Marty's jacket has a little button on it that flashes.

  Marty: This thing doesn't fit.

  Doc presses the button. The jacket modifies so it fits Marty.

  Computerised Voice in Jacket: (v.o) Size adjusting, fits.

  Doc: Pull out your pants pockets. All kids in the future wear their pants inside out.

  Marty does so. Doc goes back into the bag and pulls out a cap.

  Doc: Put this on.

  Doc puts it on Marty's head.

  Doc: Perfect, you're the spitting image of your future son.

  Marty: What?

  Doc: Help me move Jennifer over here!

  Marty and Doc lift Jennifer out of the DeLorean.

  Marty: So what's the deal?

  Doc: Grab her feet.

  He does, and they put Jennifer down by the discarded laser discs.

  Marty: OK, now what?

  Doc: In exactly 2 minutes, you go round the corner into the Cafe 80's.

  Marty: Cafe 80's?

  Doc: One of those nostalgia places, but not done very well. Go in and order a Pepsi. Here's a 50. And wait for a guy named Griff.

  Marty: Right, Griff.

  Doc: Griff's going to ask you about tonight. Are you in or out? Tell him you are out! Whatever he says, whatever happens, say no, you're not interested.

  Marty: OK.

  Doc: Then leave, come back here and wait for me. Don't talk to anyone, don't touch anything, don't do anything, don't interact with anyone and try not to look at anything.

  Marty: I don't get it, I thought you said this had something to do with my kids?

  Doc gets out a newspaper.

  Doc: Look what happens to your son!

  He gives Marty the paper - USA Today Hill Valley Edition. The headline reads Youth Jailed For Attempted Robbery.

  Marty: My son?

  Marty looks at the picture.

  Marty: God, he looks just like me. (reading from the paper) "Within two hours of his arrest, Martin McFly Junior was tried, convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in the State Penitentiary." (To Doc) Within two hours?

  Doc: The justice system works swiftly in the future, now that they've abolished all lawyers.

  Marty: This is heavy.

  Doc: Oh, it gets worse! Next week your daughter attempts to break him out of jail and she gets set up for 20 years!

  Marty: My daughter? Wait a minute, I have a daughter?

  Doc: You see, this one event starts a chain reaction which completely destroys your entire family.

  Marty looks at the paper again.

  Marty: Hey Doc, this date.....wait, this is tomorrow's newspaper!

  Doc: Precisely! I already went further ahead into time to see what else happens. I backtracked everything to this one event, that's why we're here today to prevent this incident from ever happening.

  Doc's watch beeps.

  Doc: Damn, I'm late!

  Marty: Wait a minute, where are you going now?

  Doc: To intercept the real Marty Junior, you're taking his place. Round the corner at the Cafe 80's, guy named Griff, just say no!

  Marty: Hey, what about Jennifer? We're not just gonna leave her here?

  Doc: Don't worry, she'll be safe, it'll just be for a few minutes.

  Marty starts to walk off to do his mission.

  Doc: Marty, be careful around that Griff character. (Doc puts his finger up to his head and makes a "he's loopy" sign as he says this) He's got a few short circuits in his bionic implants.

  Marty walks out into Courthouse Square.

  Marty: The future.

  It's changed vastly. The Courthouse is still there, only it's now the Courthouse Mall. The clock is still at 10.04 though. Marty looks round. The road has "No Landing" painted on it. Flying cars are around and Marty can see the skyway from where he is standing. He looks around again and sees the "on ramp" between road and skyway. Cars are both entering and exiting the skyway. Looking at the Courthouse, he sees that instead of a car park, the central bit of the Square now has a pond and tropical plants. Marty turns around. The Texaco station has also changed!!! It's now 2 levels - one for hover-converted vehicles and one for ground cars.

  Computerised Voice: (v.o) Welcome to Texaco. You can trust your car with the system with the star. Checking oil, checking landing gear.....

  Marty looks over to the cinema. It's now called Holomax and Jaws 19 is showing, directed by Max Spielberg (Steven's real life son!!!). Marty looks away and a holo-shark comes out, creeping towards Marty. It's just about to "eat" him.

  Marty: Argh!!!

  The shark then disappears. Marty gets up, he's receiving some very strange looks.

  Marty: Shark still looks fake.

  A holo-billboard in the background "starts".

  Goldie Wilson III: Hi friends, Goldie Wilson III here for Wilson's hover-conversion systems.. You know, when my grandpa was mayor of Hill Valley, he had to worry about traffic problems. But now, you don't have to worry about traffic! I'll hover-convert your old road car into a skyway flyer. For only $39,999.95. So come on down and see me, Goldie Wilson III, at any one of our 29 convenient locations. Remember, keep 'em flying.

  Marty sees an antiques store, Blast from the Past. He looks in the window. Inside are Grey's Sports Almanac 1950-2000, a Jaws Nintendo game, an old Apple Mac (circa 1984), a Roger Rabbit doll, a lava lamp, a Dustbuster, Perrier water bottles, a Super VHS video camera, a Walkman, Dragnet and Animal House videos, the political comedy album Trust Me and as an in-joke, Marty's shirt and jacket from Part 1. Marty walks into the Cafe 80's next door, where Lou's Cafe was in 1955.

  Music: Beat It By Michael Jackson

  The layout of the Cafe is similar to Lou's Cafe. Behind the counter are TV screens playing shows of the 1980s - these are Family Ties, Miami Vice, Dallas, Cheers, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Smurfs and Taxi. BIFF, now 78, is seen in the background. He doesn't see Marty, and Marty doesn't see him. The Cafe is decorated with various decorations from the 1980s. Two "cyclists" are inside pedalling on exercise bikes. There are no waiters or anything like that in the Cafe, just "video waiters". One of them, who looks like Michael Jackson, is talking to a woman customer who's sitting at the counter.

  (Note: The following speech by "Michael Jackson" might not be accurate, I played the tape 5 times and this was the best I could come up with).

  "Michael Jackson": .....or you might want to go south western with our Labunya Tortest peanuts, it's got a hot salsa, avocados, some natural mixture with your choice of beans, chicken, b..b..beef or pork.....

  Cut to Marty. He's standing in the doorway looking puzzled/astonished.

  Customer: (o.s) Waiter?

  Cut to the customer. A video waiter goes towards him.

  Customer: Waiter?

  Cut back to Marty. Suddenly another video waiter, who looks like Ronald Reagan, zooms up to Marty.

  "Ronald Reagan": Welcome to the Cafe 80's, where it's always morning in America, even in the aftern..n..noon. Our special today is mesquite-grilled sushi, Cajun style

  The screen is "interrupted" by another video waiter on the same video. This one looks like the Ayatollah Khomeini.

  "Ayatollah Khomeini": You must try the hot Satan special!

  The two waiters keep talking over one another it gets hard to make out what they are saying.

  Marty: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

  The video waiters shut up.

  Marty: All I want is a Pepsi.

  A Pepsi in a futuristic bottle appears out of the counter. Marty picks it up and looks at it.

  Biff: Hey McFly!

  Marty turns to Biff.

  Biff: Yeah, I seen you around. You're Marty McFly's kid, aren't you?

  Marty: Biff?

  Biff: You're Marty Jr! Tough break kid, must be rough being named after a complete butthead.

  Marty: What's that supposed to mean?

  Biff: Hello, hello, anybody home? Huh?<
br />
  He taps Marty on the head with his cane.

  Biff: Think McFly, think. Your old man, is still a loser?

  Marty: What?

  Biff: That's right. Loser with a capital L.

  Marty: Look, I happen to know that George McFly is not a loser.

  Biff: No, I'm not talking about George McFly. I'm talking about his kid.

  In the background, a car lands outside the Cafe.

  Biff: (continued) Your old man, Marty McFly Senior, the man who took his life and flushed it completely down the toilet.

  Marty: I did? (Covering) Uh, I mean, I mean he did?

  The cafe doors open and GRIFF enters. Griff is Biff's grandson, and he's even meaner than Biff was in 1955. Griff is wearing tough-guy clothes and a grey, metallic hat.

  Griff: Hey Gramps, I told you 2 coats of wax on my car, not just 1.

  Biff gets up.

  Biff: Hey, hey, I just put the 2nd coat on last week.

  Griff: Yeah, with your eyes closed?

  Cut to Marty.

  Marty: Are you two related?

  Biff: Hello, hello, anybody home?

  Marty tries to avoid Biff's cane.

  Biff: (continued) What'd you think, Griff just calls me grandpa for his health?

  Marty: (worried) He's Griff?

  Cut to Griff.

  Griff: Gramps, what the hell am I paying you for?

  Biff: Hey kid, say hello to your grandma for me.

  Griff pulls Biff out of the cafe.

  Griff: Get out of there Gramps!

  Biff: (o.s) Hey, take it easy!

  Griff comes back in.

  Griff: Hey McFly, don't go anywhere, you're next!

  Griff leaves. Marty looks around the Cafe again and sees Wild Gunman, a video game. Two boys are next to it.

  Boy 1: Look, a video game! I got it working.

  Boy 2: My dad told me about these.

  Marty: It is Wild Gunman.

  He walks over to the game.

  Boy 1: How do you play this thing?

  Marty: Let me show you kid.

  Marty takes his hat off and throws it on top of the game.

  Marty: I'm a crack shot at this.

  Marty fires at the game and sure enough, he's a crack shot. The words "Crack Shot" appear on the screen.

  Boy 1: (surprised) You mean you have to use your hands?
