Bob Gale - Back to the Future - 3

Marty: (w.t) Right, what happens what it hits two thousand?

Doc: (w.t) The whole motor will explode.

Marty: (w.t) Perfect.

Clara has caught up with the end of the train and manages to climb on. Cut to Marty.

Marty: (w.t) : Hey, Doc, we just hit 35!

Doc: (w.t) OK, Marty, I'm coming aboard!

Doc climbs over the front of the train.

Clara: Emmett!

But Doc doesn't hear her. Cut back to Marty. He's looking at the speedometer.

Marty: Come on, come on. (screams into w.t). You better hold on to something, Doc, the yellow log's about to blow!!!

There is an explosion. Clara is thrown back a little bit and is stunned.

Clara: Ahh! (pause) Golly.

Cut back to Marty. The time circuits reveal the present time is 8.18am.

Marty: (w.t) We just passed 40!

Clara manages to get into the driver's seat.

Clara: Emmett! Emmett! Emmett!

Once again she is not heard. Cut to Marty. He opens the car door and looks at Doc.

Marty: (w.t) We just passed 45, Doc, go for it!

Marty looks at the speedometer again.

Marty: 50!

The train whistle blows. Both Marty and Doc are puzzled. Doc turns back to the cab and sees Clara, waving.

Music: Point Of No Return (The Train Part 3) by Alan Silvestri

Clara: Emmett!

Doc screams with delight.

Doc: Clara!

Clara: I love you!

Marty: (w.t) Doc, Doc! What's happening??

Doc: (w.t) It's Clara, she's on the train!

Marty: (w.t) Clara! (to himself) Perfect.

Doc: (w.t) She's in the cab. I'm gonna go back for her.

Marty looks out the window. They've passed the windmill - the point of no return!

Marty: (w.t) The windmill! Doc, the windmill! We're going' past 50, you'll never make it!

Doc: (w.t) Then we'll have to take her back with us! Keep calling out the speed!

Doc turns to Clara and shouts to her.

Doc: Clara, climb out here to me!

Clara: I don't know if I can!

Doc: You can do it! Just don't look down.

Slowly, Clara begins to climb out of the cab.

Doc: That's it!

Marty tells Doc the speed.

Marty: (w.t) 60 miles an hour, Doc!!

Clara is making her way closer to Doc during the following.

Doc: (to Clara) You're doing fine! Nice and steady! Come on! Just a little further!

Clara: I can't Emmett, I'm scared!

Marty: (w.t) : 70!

Cut back to Doc and Clara.

Doc: Come on...you're doing fine...nice and easy...that's it...don't look down...

Marty: (w.t) Doc! The red log's about to blow!

Doc: Clara!

Another explosion. Clara nearly falls of the train, but her dress catches on something and she's hanging upside down.

Doc: Whoa!!

Clara: Emmett!

Doc: Clara! Hold on!

Clara: I can't!

Clara's dress is ripping and she's getting closer to the ground. Inside the DeLorean, Marty notices the hoverboard.

Marty: (w.t) Doc! I'm gonna slip you the hoverboard!

Doc: Marty! Watch out!

Marty sees a sign saying that the track is not finished yet. He ducks and the car smashes through the sign, missing Marty's head though.

Marty: Argh!

Clara: Ahh!! Ahh! Emmett, help!

Doc: Hold on, Clara! Whoo!

We see the end of the bridge, and the train heading towards it. There isn't much time left! Cut back to Marty and Doc.

Marty: (w.t) Doc! Catch it!

Marty sends the hoverboard flying toward Doc. Doc manages to "catch" it with his feet.

Doc: Whoa!

Marty: Yes! Yes!

Clara: Emmett!

Doc: Hold on!

Clara's dress rips and she falls.

Doc: Woah!

He picks her up just in time, and they fly off on the hoverboard.

Marty: Yes!

He watches Doc and Clara fly off. Marty then notices it's almost time! He shuts the car door and puts his hat on. The DeLorean reaches 87mph. We cut to the display panel. The camera does a close up: OCT 27 1985. The speed reaches 88 and the DeLorean heads into the future. The train reaches the end of the bridge, falls into the ravine and explodes. There is a great cloud of smoke.

The smoke fades away and we see the bridge as it is in 1985. The three sonic booms are heard and the DeLorean coasts safely across the bridge. It passes by a billboard for "Hilldale: Hill Valley's Newest Homes - You'd Be Home By Now" - and travels through a level crossing (railroad crossing) which has the barriers down and lights flashing. Marty looks at the people in the cars, who are giving him strange looks. The DeLorean stops just beyond the crossing.

A diesel horn is heard. Marty looks up and sees a diesel train about to collide with him.

Marty: Shit!

The door won't open, but Marty gets out just in time.

Marty: Argh!

Marty is still in the air when the collision occurs. The DeLorean smashes into pieces, and the train continues with its journey. Marty sees the time circuits, they clicker one more time before they go dead - forever.

Marty: Well, Doc, it's destroyed.

Marty lifts his head.

Marty: Just like you wanted.

Marty goes home. He runs past the Lyon Estates signs and stops outside his garage. The door is open. Marty walks over to his truck but is stopped by a voice.....

Biff: (o.s) Hey butthead! Get away from-

BIFF comes out of the garage. He's back to how he was at the end of Part 1. He's once again waxing Marty's truck.

Marty: Watch it, Biff.

Biff recognises Marty and starts speaking to him in a much nicer tone.

Biff: Marty! I - I didn't mean to scare ya! I didn't recognise you in those clothes!

Marty: What the hell are you doing?

Biff: Uh...just putting on the second coat now! You going cowboy, huh?

Biff gives Marty a quick thumbs-up, as DAVE opens the front door and comes out. He looks at his watch.

Dave: C'mon, guys, we're gonna be late for brunch!

He's followed by LINDA. Both are dressed up smartly.

Linda: Come on, Dad, they won't hold your reservations all day!

GEORGE & LORRAINE leave the house. Dave and Linda continue talking to each other.

George: I can't find my other glasses! Lorraine, have you seen my glasses?

Lorraine: They're in your suede jacket, honey.

Lorraine notices Marty - the first to do so.

Lorraine: Marty? What's wrong? We thought you went to the lake.

Linda: You wore that to the lake?

Marty: Thank God you guys are all back to normal!

Dave: Hey Marty, who're you supposed to be, Clint Eastwood?

Dave laughs at his joke.

Marty: Right. I gotta go get Jennifer.

Marty gets into his truck.

Biff: I really like that hat, Marty.

Marty: Thanks, Biff.

Mart drives to Jennifer's house. JENNIFER is still in her swinger - in fact she's in the same position that she was left in in Part 2.

Marty: Jennifer. Jen. Jennifer.

She's still not stirring. Marty sits next to her and kisses her. This wakes her up and she smiles at him.

Jennifer: Marty. Marty!

Jennifer sits up and hugs Marty.

Jennifer: I had the worst nightmare.

Cut to the truck. Marty drives the truck with Jennifer inside. They stop at some traffic lights.

Jennifer: Marty, that dream I had is so real. It was about the future. It was about us...and you got fired.
