Dr. Emmett Brown: Okay, now, we run some industrial-strength electrical cable from the top of the clock tower, down, suspending it over the street between these two lampposts. Meanwhile, we've outfitted the time vehicle with this big pole and hook, which runs directly into the flux capacitor. At the calculated moment, you start off from down the street, driving directly towards the cable, accelerating to 88 miles per hour. According to the flyer, at precisely 10:04 p.m. this Saturday night, lighting will strike the clock tower, electrifying the cable, just as the connecting hook makes contact, thereby sending 1.21 gigawatts into the flux capacitor and sending you back to 1985. All right, now. Watch this. You wind up the car and release it. I'll simulate the lightning.
[plugging in and holding up two jumper cables]
Dr. Emmett Brown: Ready.
[attaching one to the model lamppost]
Dr. Emmett Brown: Set. Release!
[Marty lets the toy car go, and Doc attaches the other to a nail in the model clock tower; as the "lightning" strikes, the car catches on fire, runs off the model, and sets fire to a pile of rags soaking in paint thinner]
Marty McFly: You're not instilling me with a lot of confidence, Doc.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Don't worry. I'll take care of ideas. You just take care of your pop. By the way, what happened today? Did he ask her out?
Marty McFly: [evasively] I think so.
Dr. Emmett Brown: What did she say?
[hearing a knock on the door, he looks through the drawn shade]
Dr. Emmett Brown: It's your mom! She's tracked you down!

we made that tape Please Marty don't tell me
00:00:04.712 --> 00:00:06.996
No man should know too much about his own destiny
00:00:06.089 --> 00:00:07.464
You don't understand I do understand
00:00:07.548 --> 00:00:08.757
If I know too much about my own future
00:00:08.841 --> 00:00:10.258
I can endanger my own existence
00:00:10.343 --> 00:00:12.677
Just as you've endangered yours
00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:16.556
You're right Now
00:00:16.641 --> 00:00:19.518
Let me show you my plan for sending you home
00:00:19.602 --> 00:00:21.353
Please excuse the crudity of this model
00:00:21.437 --> 00:00:23.772
I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it
00:00:23.856 --> 00:00:25.774
It's good Thank you Thank you
00:00:27.001 --> 00:00:28.276
Okay now
00:00:28.361 --> 00:00:30.057
We run some industrial strength electrical cable
00:00:30.655 --> 00:00:32.489
from the top of the clock tower
00:00:32.573 --> 00:00:34.199
down suspending it over the street
00:00:34.283 --> 00:00:35.867
between these two lamp posts
00:00:36.494 --> 00:00:38.954
Meanwhile we've outfitted the time vehicle
00:00:39.997 --> 00:00:40.497
with this big pole and hook
00:00:40.581 --> 00:00:43.542
which runs directly into the flux capacitor
00:00:44.046 --> 00:00:49.131
At the calculated moment you start off from down the street
00:00:49.215 --> 00:00:50.465
driving directly toward the cable
00:00:50.055 --> 00:00:53.468
accelerating to 88 miles per hour
00:00:53.803 --> 00:00:57.018
According to the flyer at precisely 10 04 p m This Saturday night
00:00:57.265 --> 00:01:00.892
lightning will strike the clock tower electrifying the cable
00:01:00.977 --> 00:01:03.228
just as the connecting hook makes contact
00:01:03.312 --> 00:01:06.094
thereby sending 1 21 gigawatts into the flux capacitor
00:01:07.316 --> 00:01:09.999
and sending you back to 1985
00:01:09.569 --> 00:01:11.611
All right now Watch this
00:01:11.696 --> 00:01:13.613
You wind up the car and release it
00:01:15.408 --> 00:01:17.617
I'll simulate the lightning
00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:27.994
Ready
00:01:36.846 --> 00:01:37.971
Set
00:01:43.005 --> 00:01:44.001
Release
00:02:02.663 --> 00:02:04.831
You're instilling me with a lot of confidence Doc
00:02:04.916 --> 00:02:06.291
Don't worry I'll take care of the lightning
00:02:06.375 --> 00:02:08.001
You take care of your pop
00:02:10.999 --> 00:02:13.131
By the way what happened today Did he ask her out
00:02:13.001 --> 00:02:14.001
I think so
00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:15.001
What did she say
00:02:24.143 --> 00:02:25.001
