Enjoying a peaceable existence in 1885, Doctor Emmet Brown is about to be killed by Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen. Marty McFly travels back in time to save his friend.

What’s your name, dude?
– Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen
Uh, Mar- Eastwood. Clint Eastwood.
– Marty McFly
What kind of stupid name is that?
– Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen

Dr. Brown, I brought this note back from the future and – now it’s erased.
– Jennifer Parker
Of course it’s erased!
– Doc
But what does that mean?
– Jennifer Parker
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 you.
– Doc
We will, Doc.
– Marty McFly

Clara was one in a million. One in a billion. One in a googolplex!
– Doc

Listen up, Eastwood! I aim to shoot somebody today and I’d prefer it’d be you. But if you’re just too damn yella, I guess it’ll just have to be your blacksmith friend.
– Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen

Great Scott!
– Marty McFly
I know, this is heavy.
– Doc

Hey, Doc! Where you goin’ now? Back to the future?
– Marty McFly
Nope. Already been there.
– Doc

How many did he have?
– Marty McFly
Just the one.
– Bartender
Just the one? Come on, Doc!
– Marty McFly
There’s a fella that can’t hold his liquor.
– Bartender

And in the future, we don’t need horses. We have motorized carriages called automobiles.
– Doc
If everybody’s got one of these auto-whatsits, does anybody walk or run anymore?
– Saloon Old Timer #3
Of course we run. But for recreation. For fun.
– Doc
Run for fun? What the hell kind of fun is that?
– Saloon Old Timer #3

Reach!
– Doc
Is this a holdup?
– Engineer
It’s a science experiment! Stop the train just before you hit the switch track up ahead!
– Doc

That was good.
– Seamus McFly

Remember, where you’re going, there are no roads.
– Young Doc

Are you in there, Eastwood? It’s eight o’clock, and I’m callin’ you out!
– Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen
It’s not 8:00 yet!
– Marty McFly
It is by my watch! Let’s settle this once and for all, runt! Or ain’t you got the gumption?
– Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen

These are our boys; Jules, and Verne.
– Doc

Marty, you’re going to have to do something about those clothes. You walk around town dressed like that, you’re liable to get shot.
– Doc
Or hanged.
– Marty McFly
What idiot dressed you in that outfit?
– Doc
You did.
– Marty McFly

I don’t dance very well when my partner has a gun in his hand.
– Clara Clayton

Hey, Frisbee, far-out.
– Marty McFly
What was the meanin’ of that?
– Seamus McFly
It was right in front of him.
– Maggie McFly

So you’re my great-grandfather. The first McFly born in America. And you peed on me.
– Marty McFly

You’re the doc, Doc.
– Marty McFly

You’re just not thinking fourth dimensionally!
– Doc
Right, right. I have a real problem with that.
– Marty McFly

Uh, just tell me one thing. Where’d you learn to shoot like that?
– Colt Gun Salesman
7-Eleven.
– Marty McFly

No wonder this circuit failed. It says “Made in Japan”.
– Young Doc
What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan.
– Marty McFly
Unbelievable.
– Young 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.
– Doc
