Bob Gale - Back to the Future - 2

Lorraine: (o.s) I think the real reason your mother married him was because she felt sorry for him.

Jennifer: Mom?

Lorraine: (o.s) Such a sweet girl.

Cut to Jennifer's POV. She sees her future son sit down in front of the TV. A painting is on display.

Marty Junior: Put it off. (The picture vanishes) OK, I want channels 18, 24, 63, 109, 87 and the Weather Channel.

The screen splits into 6, each bit with its own TV image. As the 6 channels broadcast, Marty Junior gets up and straightens the TV. It becomes lop sided again when he lets go.

Computerised Voice: (v.o) Welcome home Marty.

Marty: (o.s) Hey, hey, hey, Dad's home, that's right, he's home, Dad's home.

Computerised Voice: (v.o) Lord of the manor.

2015 MARTY enters. Aged 47, he's wearing a business suit with two ties - like Terry earlier - and has a briefcase. He's just come home from work.

Marty: Hello, hello.

Computerised Voice: (v.o) King of the castle.

Marty: Hello. (notices something) What the hell is this?

Marty presses a button.

Female Computerised Voice: (v.o) Lithium mode on.

Marty: That's better, damn kids.

Marty walks up to his son.

Marty: Hey ace.

Marty Junior ignores him and continues watching TV.

Marty: Watching a little TV for a change?

Outside, Marty has just put his 1985 Nikes back on. He looks around, and sees a dog being walked - by a robotic lead!!! Marty stares at it, and then gets up to have a closer look at it. He walks down the street. Biff gets into the DeLorean and unseen by Marty, takes off, although he crashes into some boxes first. Back in the kitchen, Lorraine is making dinner. She opens the pizza.

Marty Junior: (o.s) Hey, pizza!

Marty: (o.s) Alright, just wait.

Marty Junior: (o.s) Grandma, can you just shove it in my mouth? (laughs)

Marty: (o.s) Don't you be a smart ass!

Marty Junior: (o.s, a bit sarcastically?) Oh, great, it's the atrocity channel.

Lorraine puts the pizza in a Black and Decker Hydrator.

Lorraine: Hydrate level 4 please.

4 seconds later, she takes the pizza out - it's bigger!

Lorraine: Mmm.

Marty Junior: (o.s) Is it ready?

Lorraine puts the pizza on the table.

Lorraine: Here you go.

Marty, Marlene and Marty Junior all take a slice. Marlene and Marty Junior both have television/telephone goggles on.

Marty: Oh boy, oh boy Mom, you sure can hydrate a pizza. (Marty takes a bite.) Now I'm sorry I missed that whole thing.

Cut to Jennifer.

Lorraine: (o.s) Now I'm just worried about Jennifer.

Cut back to kitchen.

Lorraine: Why isn't she home yet?

Marty: I'm not sure where Jennifer is Mom.

Marty pours himself and his son some juice. Marlene has a Pepsi.

Marty: Should have been home hours ago, and I'm having a hard time keeping track of her these days.

Marty Junior: Hey fruit, fruit please! (The fruit thing comes down) Thank you.

Lorraine: Aren't you and Jennifer getting along?

Marty: Oh yeah, great Mom, we're like a couple of teenagers, ya know.

The phone rings on the kids goggles.

Marty Junior: Dad, telephone, its Needles.

Marlene: Dad, it's for you.

Marty: All right, well, I'll take it down in the den. Excuse me.

Marty Junior: (re: fruit machine) Retract!

Cut to the TV screen. Marty walks in.

Marty: Hello, in here please.

The painting on screen disappears to reveal NEEDLES. He's on the other end of a videophone!

Needles: Hey, hey, the big M! How's it hanging McFly?

Marty: Hey Needles.

Cut to Jennifer.

Needles: (o.s) So...

Jennifer: (puzzled - she obviously knows Needles) Needles?

Jennifer's POV - she watches Marty and Needles.

Needles: Did you take a look at that little business proposal of mine?

Cut to Jennifer.

Marty: (o.s) I don't know Needles.

Needles: (o.s) What are you afraid of?

Back to Jennifer's POV.

Needles: If this thing works, it'll solve all your financial problems.

Marty: And if it doesn't work Needles, I could get fired. It's illegal! I mean, what if the Jitz is watching, huh?

Needles: The Jitz will never find out! Come on, stick your card in the slot and I'll handle it.

Marty: Nah. (He starts to walk off)

Needles: Unless you want everyone in division to think you're.....chicken.

Marty freezes at this word. He then turns around.

Marty: Nobody calls me chicken, Needles, nobody!

Needles: All right, prove it.

Marty: All right, all right Needles, here's my card, scan it, I'm in.

Needles: Thanks McFly. See you at the plant tomorrow.

Needles "hangs up" and the screen has the AT&T logo on it.

Female Computerised Voice: (v.o) Thank you for using AT&T.

Marty gets up. Behind him, a Japanese man appears on the screen. It's Marty's boss, Iko Fujitsu - aka the JITZ!

Jitz: McFly!

Jennifer jumps at this. Marty turns around to see his boss.

Marty: Oh! Fujitsu-san! Konnichi wa! (this means "Hello Mr Fujitsu" more or less)

Jitz: McFly! I was monitoring that scan you just interfaced. You are terminated!

Marty: Terminated! No, no! It wasn't my fault sir, it was Needles, Needles was behind the whole thing!

Jitz: And you co-operated!

Marty: No I didn't! It was a sting operation! I was setting him up!

Jitz: McFly, read my fax!

The words You're Fired appear on screen, and the Jitz walks away.

Marty: Please no, I can't be fired - I'm fired!

Fax machines throughout the house print off You're Fired as well. One is near Jennifer. She takes it and look at it, horrified.

Marty: Oh, this is heavy. What am I going to tell Jennifer?

Jennifer watches him, but hears a tap on the window. It's Doc and Einstein!

Doc: (whispering) Jennifer, Jennifer!

Jennifer: Oh Doc, am I glad to see you!

Doc: Go out the front door!

Jennifer: But it doesn't open, there's no doorknob!

Doc: Press your thumb to the plate!

Jennifer: What plate?

Doc sees something and he and Einstein hide. Jennifer creeps out of the closet and makes her way to the door. Marty gets his guitar and plays a few chords from The Power Of Love. Lorraine enters, and Jennifer moves quickly before she can be seen.

Lorraine: Marty, what does this fax mean?

Marty: Oh Mom, it's a joke, an office joke, a joke fax.

Lorraine: A joke? But Marty, I heard you yelling.

Marty: No Mom; Mom, mom, mom, calm down, I wasn't yelling... Needles and I were just kinda joking.

Jennifer goes to the front door.

Computerised Voice: Welcome home Jennifer.

Jennifer is about to walk out when she realises that her future self has just walked in! 2015 JENNIFER, 47, has grey hair - the years have not been kind to her. She's carrying groceries. Both Jennifers stop and stare at each other. Then simultaneously, they say:

2015 Jennifer: I'm young!

1985 Jennifer: I'm old!

Both faint, but luckily Doc is there to catch 1985 Jennifer. Cut to outside. Biff arrives back in 2015 and parks the DeLorean. He gets out, clutching his chest. Doc calls to Marty.

Doc: Marty! Marty! Marty! Come quick! Quick!

Biff gets out of the DeLorean. The top of his cane breaks off and stays in there.

Biff: Oh, oh, ahh!
