level grade... and you weren't hauling no cars... and if you could get the fire hot enough. I'm talking about hotter than the blazes of Hell itself. It might be possible to get her up that fast. When does the next train come through ? Monday morning at 8:00. Here. This spur that runs off the main line 3 miles out to Clayton Ravine. It's a long stretch of level track that will still exist in 1985. This is where we'll push the DeLorean with the locomotive. Funny. This map calls Clayton Ravine "Shonash Ravine." That must be the old Indian name for it. It's perfect. A long run that goes across the bridge over the ravine... over near that Hilldale housing development. Right, but according to this map... there is no bridge. Well, Doc, we can scratch that idea. We can't wait for this thing to get finished. Marty, it's perfect. You're not thinking fourth dimensionally. Right. I have a problem with that. Don't you see ? The bridge will exist in 1985. It's safe and still in use. As long as we get the DeLorean up to 88 mph... before we hit the edge of the ravine... we'll instantaneously arrive at a point in time where the bridge is completed. We'll have track under us and coast safely across the ravine. - What about the train ? - It will be a spectacular wreck. Too bad no one will be around to see it. - Help me ! - Great Scott ! Hurry ! Jump ! Thank you, sir. You saved my... life. Emmett Brown at your service, Miss... Clayton. Clara Clayton. What a beautiful name. May I help you inside with these ? That won't be necessary. I can take care of it. - You've done more than enough already. - But it's really no trouble. She says it's fine, and we have to get going. Ma'am, good luck with your school teaching and everything. I'll straighten everything out for the buckboard rental. Don't worry about that. I feel somewhat responsible for what happened. That would be very gentlemanly of you, Mr. Brown. Emmett. You know, I'm almost glad that snake spooked those horses. Otherwise, we might never have met. I suppose it was destiny. Thank you for everything. You're quite welcome. I will see you again, won't I ? Of course. You'll see lots of me. I have a shop in town. I'm the local scientist, I mean, blacksmith. What sort of science ? Astronomy ? Chemistry ? Actually, I'm a student of all sciences. Doc, we have to get going. Yes. Excuse us, Clara. We have to get going. Toodle-oo. What do you mean, you'll be seeing lots of her ? I might see her again just in passing. Did you see the way she was looking at you ? She did have quite a scare, right ? Miss Clayton almost ended up at the bottom of Clayton Ravine. Holy shit. Clayton Ravine was named after a teacher. - They say she fell in there 100 years ago. - 100 years ago ! - That's this year ! - Every kid knows that story. We all have teachers we'd like to see fall into the ravine. Great Scott ! Then she was supposed to go over in that wagon. Now I may have seriously altered history. Look, Doc, what's the worse that can happen ? So they don't name the ravine after her. Let's get the DeLorean ready and get out of here. I wish I'd never invented that infernal time machine. It's caused nothing but disaster. Doc, this is Marty. Do you read me ? Over. Check, Marty. Great. These things still work. All right. Once more, let's go over the entire plan and layout. - I apologize for the crudity of this model. - Yeah, it's not to scale. It's okay. All right. Tomorrow night, Sunday... we load the DeLorean onto the tracks here, on the spur... by the abandoned silver mine. The switch track is where the spur runs off the main line... three miles out to Clayton... Shonash Ravine. The train leaves the station at 8:00 Monday morning. We'll stop it, uncouple the cars, throw the switch track and then hijack... borrow the locomotive and use it to push the time machine. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Ностальгия на английском - текст Слияние разумов: Секреты путешествия длиною в жизнь на английском - текст Поздняя весна на английском - текст Убийцы на английском - текст Торжество на английском |
