i>Lord of the manor.
- Hello.
- King of the castle.
- Hello.
What the hell is this?
Lithium mode on.
Yeah. That's better.
Damned kids.
Hey, Son.
Watching a little TV for a change?
Son of a...
- I'm hungry.
- Just wait your turn.
When it's ready,
shove it in my mouth.
Don't you be a smart-ass.
Hey! The Atrocity Channel.
Hydrate level 4, please.
Is it ready?
Here you go.
Mom, you sure can
hydrate a pizza.
I'm sorry.
I missed that whole thing.
I'm just worried about Jennifer.
- Why isn't she home?
- I'm not sure where Jennifer is, Mom.
She should have been home hours ago.
- I can't keep track--
- Fruit!
- Fruit, please.
- She's in one of those moods.
Aren't you and her
getting along?
Yeah. Great, Mom.
We're like a couple of teenagers.
Dad, telephone. It's Needles.
Dad, it's for you.
All right. Well, I'll take that in the den.
Retract.
Hello. In here, please.
Hey, the big M.
How's it hanging, McFly?
Hey, Needles.
Needles?
Did you look
at my little business proposal?
- I don't know.
- Why are you worried?
If this works,
your financial problems are solved.
And if it doesn't work, Needles,
I could get fired.
It's illegal.
I mean, what if the Jits is monitoring?
- The Jits will never find out.
- God.
Come on. Stick your card in the slot,
and I'll handle it.
Unless you want everyone
in the division to think you're chicken.
Nobody calls me chicken, Needles.
- Nobody!
- All right.
Prove it.
All right.
All right, Needles.
Here's my card.
Scan it. I'm in.
Thanks, McFly.
I'll see you at the plant tomorrow.
Shit.
McFly!
Fujitsu-san.
McFly...
...I was monitoring that
scan you just interfaced.
You are terminated!
Terminated. No! It wasn't my fault, sir.
- Needles was behind it.
- And you cooperated.
It was a sting operation.
I was setting him up.
Read my fax!
No! Please! I cannot be fired.
I'm fired.
This is heavy.
What am I going to tell Jennifer?
Jennifer. Jennifer.
Doc. Am I glad to see you.
Go out the front door. I'll meet you there.
But it doesn't open. There's no doorknob.
Press your thumb to the plate.
What plate?
What does this fax mean?
Mom. It's a joke,
an office joke. It's a joke fax.
- I heard you yell.
- Calm down. I wasn't yelling.
Needles and I were just joking.
Welcome home, Jennifer.
Lost my job, Mom?
Get out of town.
- I'm young!
- I'm old!
Marty! Marty!
Marty, come quick! Quick!
She encountered her older self
and went into shock.
She'll be fine.
Let's get her back to 1985.
Then I'll destroy the time machine.
Destroy it?
What about that stuff
about humanity and where we're going?
The risks are too great,
as this incident proves.
And I was behaving responsibly.
Imagine if the time machine
fell into the wrong hands?
My only regret...
...is that I'll never get a chance
to visit my favorite historical era...
...the Old West.
But time traveling is just too dangerous.
Better that I devote myself to study...
...the other great mystery of the universe:
Women.
Marty, Einie, brace yourselves
for temporal displacement.
Did we make it?
Are we back?
We're back.
Let's put her in the swing.
You can return in your truck and wake her.
When she awakens here
in her own house...
...you can convince her it was a dream.
We're just leaving her here?
Disorientation will help convince her
it was a dream.
How long will she be out?
I'm not quite sure.
She received quite a shock.
Could be a few minutes,
probably a couple of hours.
- You better bring smelling salts.
- You're the doc, Doc.
Come on. Let's go, Einie.
Don't worry. She'll be fine.
I don't remember bars
being on these windows.
If you need me,
I'll be in my lab dismantling
