do...
and I've got to do what I've got to do.
I've made a decision.
I'm not going with you tomorrow.
I'm staying here.
What are you talking about ?
There's no point in denying it.
- I'm in love with Clara.
- Oh, man.
We don't belong here.
Neither one of us.
It could still be you
that gets shot tomorrow.
This tombstone
could still be in your future.
Marty, the future isn't written.
It can be changed. You know that.
Anyone can make their future
whatever they want it to be.
I can't let this one little photograph
determine my entire destiny.
I have to live my life
according to what I believe is right...
in my heart.
Doc, you're a scientist.
So you tell me.
What's the right thing to do, up here ?
You're right, Marty.
- That worked great.
- I've at least got to tell her good-bye.
Come on, Doc.
Think about it.
What will you say to her ?
"I've got to go back to the future" ?
She won't understand that.
Hell, I'm in it with you,
and I don't even understand it.
Listen.
Maybe we...
Maybe we can just take Clara with us.
To the future ?
As you reminded me, I'm a scientist,
so I must be scientific about this.
I cautioned you about disrupting
the continuum for your own benefit.
Therefore, I must do no less.
We shall proceed as planned,
and as soon as we return to 1985...
we'll destroy this infernal machine.
Traveling through time
has become much too painful.
It's Emmett, Clara.
Emmett, won't you come in ?
No, I better not. I...
What's wrong ?
I've come to say good-bye.
Good-bye ? Where are you going ?
I'm going away.
I'm afraid I'll never see you again.
Clara, I want you to know
that I care about you deeply.
But I've realized that I don't belong here,
and I have to go back where I came from.
Where might that be ?
I can't tell you.
Then wherever you're going,
take me with you.
I can't, Clara.
I wish it didn't have to be this way...
but believe me when I tell you
that I'll never forget you...
and that I love you.
I don't understand
what you're trying to say.
I don't think there's any way
that you can understand it.
Please, I have to know.
If you sincerely do love me,
then tell me the truth.
All right then.
I'm from the future.
I came here in a time machine
that I invented...
and tomorrow I have to go back
to the year 1985.
Yes, Emmett.
I do understand.
I understand that because you know I'm
partial to the writings of Jules Verne...
you concocted those mendacities
in order to take advantage of me.
I've heard some whoppers in my day...
but the fact that you'd expect me
to believe this...
is so insulting and degrading !
All you had to say is, "I don't love you
and I don't want to see you anymore."
That, at least,
would have been respectful !
But that's not the truth.
Good to see you, too.
Emmett. What can I get you, the usual ?
No, Chester, I'll need something
a lot stronger than that tonight.
- Sarsaparilla.
- Whiskey, Chester.
Whiskey ? Are you sure ?
You know what happened to you
on the Fourth of July.
Whiskey.
Okay, I ain't your papa.
Just don't want to see you
do the wrong thing.
You can leave the bottle.
It's a woman, right ?
I knew it. I've seen that look
on a man's face...
a thousand times all across the country.
All I can tell you, friend,
is you'll get over her.
Clara was one in a million.
One in a billion. One in a googolplex.
The woman of my dreams,
and I've lost her for all time.
I can assure you, sir,
there are other women.
Peddling this barbed wire
across the country...
has taught me one thing for certain...
it's that you never know
what the future might bring.
The future.
I can tell you about the future.
Man, did I sleep.
What time is it, Doc ?
Wake up !
Get up ! Let's go !
I got me a runt to kill.
It's still early, boss.
What's your hurry ?
I'm hungry.
And in the future, we don't need horses.
We have motorized carriages
called automobiles.
If everybody's got
one of these auto whatsits...
