![]() I never met a woman who liked Jules Verne before. You couldn't have read that when you were a little boy, it was only first published ten years ago. The first time I read that when I was a little boy I wanted to meet Captain Nemo and.ĭon't tease, Emmett. "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", my absolute favorite. You're quoting Jules Verne, "From the Earth to the Moon". "They break the pull of the earth's gravity and send their projectile through outer space."Įmmett, I read that book too. We'll have space vehicles, capsules to sail off in rockets, devices that create giant explosions, explosions that are so powerful that they. Too bad no one will be around to see it.Įmmett, do you think we'll ever be able to travel to the moon like we travel across the country on trains?ĭefinitely, although not for another eighty-four years and not on trains. We'll have track under us and coast safely across the ravine! Therefore, as long as we get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour before we hit the edge of the ravine, we'll instantaneously arrive at a point in time where the bridge is completed. I have a real problem with that.ĭon't you see? The bridge *will* exist in 1985. Marty, it's perfect, you're just not thinking fourth-dimensionally! I mean, we can't wait around a year and a half for this thing to get finished. ![]() Right, Doc, but according to this map, there is no bridge. It's perfect, a nice long run that goes clear across the bridge over the ravine, you know, over near that Hilldale housing development. Funny, this map calls Clayton Ravine "Shonash Ravine". This is where we'll push the DeLorean with the locomotive. There's a long stretch of track that will still exist in 1985. This spur runs off the main line three miles down to Clayton Ravine. ![]() we know that it won't run under its own power and we know we can't pull it, but if we could find a way to push it up to 88 miles per hour. Okay, okay, let's think this through logically. Winter? Doc! Monday, it's three days away! of course, ice! We'll wait until winter, when the lake freezes over we'll. no, no, we'd never find a smooth enough surface. I know, I know.! Wait, I've got it! we can simply roll it down a steep hill. Strong stuff alright, it'll take me a month to rebuild it.Ī month? Doc, you're gonna get shot on Monday! 'Cause one day you're gonna get a bullet in your back.īartender says that's the strongest stuff they got.ĭamn! It blew the fuel injection manifold. So, from now on, you better be lookin' behind you when you walk. Look! If your horse threw a shoe, bring him back and I'll reshoe him! So, the way I figure it, blacksmith, you owe me five dollars for the whiskey and $75 for the horse. Wrong! See I was *on* my horse when it threw the shoe and I got throwed *off*! And *that* caused me to bust a perfectly good bottle of fine Kentucky red-eye. Well, since you never paid me for the job, I say that makes us even! And seein' as you was the one that done the shoein', I say that makes you responsible. Traveling through time has become much too painful. We shall proceed as planned, and as soon as we return to 1985, we'll destroy this infernal machine. I cautioned you about disrupting the continuum for your own personal benefit. Maybe we could just take Clara with us.Īs you reminded me, Marty, I'm a scientist, so I must be scientific about this. Hell, I'm in it with you and even I don't understand it.ĭoc. What are you gonna say to her? "I gotta go back to the future"? I mean, she's not gonna understand that, Doc. So you tell me: What's the right thing to do?Ĭ'mon, Doc. I have to live my life according to what I believe is right in my heart. I can't let this one little photograph determine my entire destiny. Anyone can make their future whatever they want it to be. This tombstone could still be in your future! Doc, we don't belong here! Neither one of us! You know, it could still be you that gets shot tomorrow!
