Bob Gale - Back to the Future - 3

Marty: Hoverboard.

Doc: Alright.

Doc puts the hoverboard 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 tree 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!

Doc starts the DeLorean.

Doc: 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, 8am.

Doc inputs the date and time.

Doc: 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. All you have to do is drive the time vehicle directly towards that screen accelerating at 88 miles per hour.

Marty looks at the screen. Underneath is a mural of Indians.

Marty: Wait a minute, Doc. If I drive straight towards the screen, I'll crash into those Indians.

Doc: Marty. You're not thinking 4th 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.

Doc pats Marty on his shoulder.

Marty: You mean the past.

Doc: Exactly!

Doc runs to the building with a pistol. It's the same pistol he used in 1985 to try and shoot the Libyans in Part 1.

Doc: Happy trails Marty! Ready Marty?

Marty: Ready!

Doc: Set!

Marty: Hi ho silver.

Doc pulls the trigger and Marty sets off.

Doc: Viya con dios!

Just before he hits the screen and the mural of Indians, he travels through time.

Marty arrives in 1885, only to see a tribe of real Indians heading towards him.

Marty: Indians! Argh!

Marty turns around and heads away from them, but they are chasing him. Marty spots the cave Doc mentioned in 1955.

Marty: The cave!

Marty drives the DeLorean into the cave as the Indians leap over it. They seem to be riding away from something. Marty gets out and discovers what they were riding away from...

Marty: Shit, the cavalry!

Marty runs back into the cave as the Cavalry ride past. They don't see him. Once it is safe, Marty checks the DeLorean. There is an arrow in the side of the car.

Marty: Damn, I ripped the fuel line.

Marty pulls the arrow out and some of the gas starts dripping out. Marty's reckless driving over rocks has damaged the fuel line. He goes back into the car and pulls out the photo of the tombstone, the boots Doc gave him and the letter. We cut to behind Marty, as we hear a growl. Marty turns around to see a big bear heading for him.

Marty: Argh! Argh!

The bear roars again and stands up on its hind legs.

Marty: Argh! Argh! Argh! Whoo! Whoo!

Marty runs out of the cave away from the bear. It's following him - obviously he wants a McFly in his soup! LOL. Marty throws his boots to the bear. It stops and sniffs them, allowing Marty to run away. Marty isn't looking where he is going as he runs - he is still looking at the bear - and trips, sliding down a hill.

Marty: Uh!

Marty crashes into a fence at the bottom of the hill and is knocked out. A man, SEAMUS, comes running towards Marty. He looks a bit like Marty (Seamus and Marty are both played by Michael J Fox). Seamus slaps Marty's face to see if he is awake, and then calls to his wife. He speaks with an Irish accent.

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

Cut to a darkened room. Marty is in a bed, and slowly wakes up. A woman, MAGGIE (Seamus' wife) is next to him. She looks a bit like Lorraine (both Lorraine and Maggie are played by Lea Thompson).

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

Maggie: 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.

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

Marty: McFly farm! Argh!

Marty sits up suddenly to find he is in a log cabin. Maggie is sitting on a chair near the bed.

Marty: Well you're my-my - my... Who are you?

Maggie: Name's McFly. Maggie McFly.

Marty: McFly. Maggie.

Maggie: That's Mrs McFly, and don't you be forgetting the Mrs! And what might your name be sir?

Marty: Well, it's Mc... (covering) Eastwood...uh...Clint...Clint Eastwood?

Marty grins sheepishly. Maggie speaks to him in a no-nonsense tone.

Maggie: You hit your head, Mr Eastwood. Not too serious, but lucky for you Seamus found you when he did.

Marty: (half to himself) Seamus.

Maggie: Me husband.

Maggie gets up to leave.

Maggie: You'll be excuse me Mr Eastwood, while I tend to William.

Marty realises who William is - his great grandfather!

Marty: William.

Marty gets out of bed, and after checking that he still has his pants on, he follows Maggie into the main room to see her holding a crying baby.

Marty: That's William?

Maggie: Aye! William Shaun McFly, the first of our family to be born in America! Ahh, its OK Will! Here's Mr Clint Eastwood...this is him.

Marty takes William and he stops crying!

Maggie: He already likes you, Mr Eastwood.

The front door opens and Seamus comes in.

Seamus: Maggie, I got supper.

He puts a dead deer on the table.

Later on, Seamus, Maggie and Marty are eating their meal.

Seamus: I'm not one to pry into a man's personal affairs but how is it that you came to be way out here, without a horse? Or boots? Or a hat?

Marty: Well my car - (covering) horse broke down and buried my boots. And I guess I just forgot my hat.

Maggie: How could you forget a thing like your hat? Would you like some water?

Marty: Yeah, thanks.

Maggie pours Marty a pink liquid - Marty stares at it. During the following he also spits seeds from the bread onto his plate.

Seamus: I'll tell you what I'll do, Mr Eastwood. I'll help you find your blacksmith friend. You can stay the night in the barn. And tomorrow, I'll take you as far as the railroad tracks, you can follow them straight on in into town. I'll even give you a hat.

Maggie puts down her plate and crosses herself in a Catholic way.

Marty: That's great. Thanks.

William starts to cry again, and Seamus goes and picks him up.

Seamus: Ahh. Woogie William. Woogie William. Oh, yes. (to Marty) I think you'll find the barn comfortable. I've never had any complaints about it from the pigs.

Seamus laughs at his own joke, like Marty's brother Dave does in 1985.

Maggie: Seamus. A word with you.

Seamus: Aye. (to Marty) Will you hold him for a minute?

Seamus gives William to Marty and follows Maggie into the corner of the room to talk.

Maggie: You sure you're not after bringing a curse on this house, taking him in like that? Such a strange young man.

Seamus: Aye, but I've just got a feeling about him Maggie. It's the right thing to do. It's important. Look how the baby takes to him. Little Will never takes to strangers. It's almost as if.....he's connected to us.
