[Scene: Morning at the blacksmith shop]
[This scene is reminiscent of the one at the beginning of BTTF 1, with Doc's crazy inventions and obsession with clocks...1800's style. Eggs and bacon come out and start cooking at scheduled times and Marty wakes up. He climbs out of his little cot and faces away from the camera. He is wearing a white pajama suit. He may not notice, but a part of his bare ass is exposed and is out there for the world to see]
Marty McFly Sr. : Doc! Doc! [He doesn't see Doc anywhere and speaks to himself] I hope you know what you're doin'. [his eye falls on the Colt Peacemaker and its belt. He picks up the gun and faces the mirror] You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me, Tannen?[Pausing] Well I'm the only one here. Go ahead...make my day!
[Scene: Downtown Hill Valley]
Man #1: Hey, good morning, Mr. Eastwood!
Marty McFly Sr. : Morning.
Man #2: Have a cigar, Mr. Eastwood.
Anything I can do for you today, Mr. Eastwood?
Marty McFly Sr. : No, no, it's... fine.
[Man #3 is riding by in a carriage with his family]
Good luck tomorrow, Mr. Eastwood! We'll be prayin' for ya!
Marty McFly Sr. : [Calling back] Thanks.
[The Undertaker has a striking resemblance to the
scary-looking member of Limp Bizkit who plays guitar (not Fred Durst)]
Undertaker: Good morning, Mr. Eastwood. Interest you in a new suit for a tomorrow?
Marty McFly Sr. : Ah, I'm...I'm fine. Thanks.
[He sees Doc about fifty yards away, sniffing
a lavender flower pin stuck to his jacket. He approaches him]
Marty McFly Sr. : Doc. What are you doin'?
Doc: [Stops sniffing] Oh, nothing...just out enjoying the morning air.
It's really lovely here in the morning, don't you think?
Marty McFly Sr. : Yeah, it's lovely Doc. Listen, we gotta load the DeLorean;
we gotta get ready to roll, alright? Hey look at that, the tombstone.
[He suddenly spots freshly carved tombstones
n front of a shop waiting to be engraved]
Doc: Marty, let me see that photograph again. [Marty hands it to him
and Doc looks at it, walking toward the camera with his back to the actual
tombstones. He sighs] My name...it's vanished.
Marty McFly Sr. : Hey, that's great Doc! Don't you get it -
we're goin' back to the future tomorrow, so everything's bein' erased!
Doc: But only my name is erased! The tombstone itself
and the date still remain. That doesn't make sense. We know
that this photograph represents what will happen if the events of today
continue to run their course into tomorrow.
Marty McFly Sr. : Right, and so?
Undertaker: [Comes on suddenly and pulls a measuring tape
from Marty's shoulder to his feet] Excuse me, Mr. Eastwood,
I just need to take your measurement.
Marty McFly Sr. : Hey, look, pal, I don't wanna buy a suit!
Undertaker: [Laughs] No, this is for your coffin.
Marty McFly Sr. : My coffin?!
Undertaker: Well, the odds are running two to one against you. [He pulls the measuring tape back to its original position and makes a choking motion with his hand against his own throat] Might as well be prepared. [He exits]
Doc: So...it may not be my name that's supposed
to end up on that tombstone. It may...be...yours.
[Marty continues walking away from the tombstone
and then stops, with his hand to his forehead]
Marty McFly Sr. : Great Scott!
[Doc assumes a position behind Marty's shoulder;
for the first time in the trilogy, Marty and Doc say each other's lines]
Doc: I know, this is heavy.
[Marty and Doc start walking in the original direction
Marty had been in at the beginning of the scene]
Doc : Marty, why are wearing that gun?
You're not considering going up
against Tannen tomorrow?!?
Marty McFly Sr. :
Doc, tomorrow morning I'm goin' Back to The Future with you.
But if Buford Tannen comes lookin' for Trouble,
I'm gonna be ready for him. You heard what that
son-of-a-bitch called me last night —
Doc: Marty, you can't go losing your judgment
every time someone calls you a name! That's exactly
what causes you to get into that accident in the future.
Marty McFly Sr. :
[Suddenly stops in his tracks and turns]
What? What about my future?
[Doc's expression changes to one of sad, final acceptance]
Doc : …..I can't Tell You.
It might make things worse.
Marty McFly Sr. : Wait a minute, Doc...
what is wrong with my future?!
Doc: [Calmly] Marty...
We all have to make decisions
that affect the course of our lives.
You've gotta Do What You've gotta Do —
(reaches The Decision to stay
with Clara and tell her The Truth —)
—and I've gotta Do What I've gotta Do.
