The Unwritten Future and Personal Choices
Jennifer Dr. Brown? I brought this note back from the future, and now it's erased.
Doc Of course it's erased!
Jennifer But what does that mean?
Doc It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one. Both of ya.
Marty We will, Doc!
Doc Stand back! All right, boys, buckle up.
[closes the door]
Marty Hey, Doc! Where you goin now? Back to the future?
Doc Nope. Already been there.
The Concept of Fun in the Future
Doc In the future, we don't need horses. We have motorized carriages called "automobiles".

Jeb If everybody's got one of these auto-whats-its, does anybody walk or run anymore?
Doc Of course we run, but for recreation. For fun.
Jeb Run for fun? What the hell kinda fun is that?!
Time Travel Experiment and Its Aftermath
Doc Date: Sunday, November 13, 1955. 7:01 A.M. Last night's time travel experiment was apparently a complete success. Lightning struck the clock tower at precisely 10:04 P.M., sending the necessary 1.21 gigawatts into the time vehicle, which vanished in a brilliant flash of light, leaving a pair of fire trails behind. I therefore assume 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. In fact, I don't even remember how I got home. Perhaps the gigawatt 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 momentary amnesia. Indeed, I now recall that moments after the time vehicle disappeared into the future, I saw a vision of Marty saying he had come back from the future.
[recording his speech, not noticing Marty]
Marty Hey, Doc.
Doc Undoubtedly, this was some sort of residual image.
[turns around]
Marty Doc. Doc, calm down, okay?! Just calm down! It's me! It's Marty!
[Doc sees him, screams, trips on Marty's 2015 hoverboard, and lands on his organ, which plays ascending ominous notes]
Doc No!!! It can't be you! I sent back to the future!
Marty That's right, Doc, that's right, but I came back again, I came back from the future. Don't you remember last night? You fainted; I brought ya home.
Doc This can't be happening! You can't be here! It doesn't make sense for you to be here! I refuse to even believe that you are here!
[the notes stop playing; goes into the bathrooom; slams the door]
Marty Doc, I am here, and it does make sense! Look, I came back to 1955 again with you, the you from 1985, cause we had to get a book from Biff! So, once I got the book back, you, that is, the you from 1985, were in the DeLorean, and it got struck by lightning, and got sent back to 1885!
Doc 1885?! It's a very interesting story, future boy, but there's just one little thing that doesn't make sense. If the me of the future is now in the past, how could you possibly know about it?
[opens the door]
Marty You sent me a letter.
Unexpected Return from the Future
Marty Doc, Doc! Okay. Okay! Relax, Doc! It's me! It's Marty!

Marty I know. You did send me back to the future, but I'm back. I'm back from the future.
Doc Great Scott!

Buford You owe me money, blacksmith.
Doc How do ya figure?
Buford My horse threw his shoe. And seein as you was the one who done the shoein', I say that makes you responsible.
Doc Well, since you never paid me for the job, I say that makes us even!
Buford Wrong! See, I was on my horse when he threw the shoe and I got throwed off! And that caused me to bust a perfectly good bottle of fine Kentucky Red-Eye. So, the way I figure it, blacksmith, you owe me $5 for the whiskey and $75 for the horse.
Marty That's the $80.
[under his breath; hoarsely]
Doc Look, if your horse threw his shoe, bring him back, and I'll re-shoe him!
Buford I done shot that horse!
Doc Well, that's your problem, Tannen!
Buford Wrong. That's yours. So, from now on, you better be lookin behind you when you walk, cause one day, you're gonna get a bullet in your back!
[leaves with his gang]

Doc Marty, I gave you explicit instructions not to come here, but to go directly back to 1985.
Marty I know, Doc, but I had to come.
Doc But it's good to see you, Marty. Marty, you're gonna have to do something about those clothes. You walk around town dressed like that, you're liable to get shot.
