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 l 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.
l wish l'd never invented
that infernal time machine.
lt's caused nothing but disaster.
Doc, this is Marty.
Do you read me? Over.
Check, Marty.
MARTY: Great. These things stiII work.
All right. Once more,
let's go over the entire plan and layout.
-l apologize for the crudity of this model--
-Yeah, it's not to scale. lt's okay.
All right. Tomorrow night, Sunday...
...we load the DeLorean
onto the tracks here, on the spur...
...by the abandoned siIver 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.
According to my calculations we'll reach
88 mph just before we hit...
...the edge of the ravine,
at which point we'll be transported back to 1985...
...and coast safely across the completed bridge.
What does this mean? ''Point of no return.''
That's our fail-safe point.
Till there, we have time to stop the locomotive
before it plunges into the ravine.
But once we pass this windmill,
it's the future or bust.
DOC: Here you go.
Connect that to the positive terminal.
DOC: All right, you all set?
MARTY: Yeah. Go!
DOC: Train pulling out of the station!
Coming up to the switch track!
Stop at the switch track!
Throw the switch!
PuII up to the DeLorean!
Pushing the DeLorean...
...up to 88 miles per hour!
[Whistle blowing]
lt couldn't be simpler.
[Door creaking]
CLARA: Emmett?
lt's Clara.
Quick, cover the DeLorean!
CLARA: Hello.
DOC: Why, hello.
DOC: This is quite a surprise.
l hope l'm not disturbing anything.
We were just doing a little model railroading.
When my bags were thrown from the wagon...
...my telescope was damaged.
Since you mentioned an interest in science...
...l thought you might be able to repair it for me.
l would pay you, of course.
l wouldn't think of charging you for this.
Let's have a look at it.
CLARA:
l think a lens may be out of alignment because...
...if you move it this way the image turns fuzzy.
See?
But if you turn it the other way...
...then....
Everything becomes...
...clear.
[Clearing throat]
l could repair it right away
and have it for you tonight.
Tonight is the town festival.
l wouldn't dream of having you work
on my telescope during such an occasion.
You are planning on attending, aren't you?
-Actually, ma'am--
-Yes, of course. The festival.
ln that case,
l'll see you this evening at the festival.
CLARA: Mr. Eastwood.
MARTY: Ma'am.
Thank you for taking care of my telescope.
DOC: You're quite welcome.
lt's a nice telescope.
Ladies and gentlemen...
...as mayor of Hill Valley...
...it gives me great pleasure
to dedicate this clock...
...to the people of Hill County!
May it stand for all time!
TeII me when, gentIemen.
[Drum-roll plays]
CROWD: Three! Two! One!
Now!
[Band plays]
[All applauding]
MAYOR: Let the festivities begin!
ln a way, it's fitting that you and l
are here to witness this.
lt's too bad l didn't bring my camera.
Ready, gentlemen?
The only problem is,
we'll never be able to show it to anybody.
Smile, Doc.
[Man shouting gleefully]
[Band plays folk music]
[People whooping]
What great music!
Yeah, it's got a beat, and you can dance to it.
Step right up and
