Well you're not gonna be picking a fight, Dad... Dad... Daddy-o!

If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

All right. This one's an oldie, but, uh... well it's an oldie where I come from.

I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
send an e card Marty McFly


Oh, and one more thing, if you guys ever have kids and one of them, when he's eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug, go easy on him.

Damn it, Doc! Why did you have to tear up that letter. If only I had more time... Wait, a minute, I got all the time I want! I got a time machine! I could just go back early and warn him. All right. Let's see, ten minutes ought to do it. Time circuits on, Flux Capacitor... fluxing, engine running, all right!

Everything looks great!

Great Scott!

The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

Good evening. I'm Doctor Emmett Brown and I'm standing here in the parking lot at Twin Pines Mall. It is Saturday morning, October 26, 1985, 1:18 A.M. and this is temporal experiment number one. Please note that Einstein's clock is in precise synchronization with my control watch.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit.
send an e card Doc Brown


Ha! What did I tell you?! EIGHTY-EIGHT MILES PER HOUR!!! The temporal displacement occured exactly 1:20 AM and zero seconds!

Einstein's clock is exactly one minute behind mine and still ticking!

First, you turn the time circuits on. This one tells you where your going. This one tells you where you are. This one tells you where you were. You input your destination time on this keypad. Say you want to see the signing of the Declaration of Indepenence [Jul. 4, 1776] or wittness the birth of Christ [Dec. 25, 0000]. Here's a red-letter date in the history of science: November 5, 1955. Of course, November 5, 1955! That was the day I invented time-travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and when I came to I had a revalation! A vision! A picture in my head! A picture of this! This is what makes time travel possible: the flux capacitor! It's taken me nearly thirty years and my entire family fortune to realize the vision of that day. My God, has it been that long? Things have certainly changed around here. I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eye could see! Old man Peabody owned all of this! He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees.

Oh my god... they found me. I don't know how, but they found me. RUN FOR IT MARTY!
send an e card Doc Brown


My God. Do you know what this means? It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all!

I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is sold in every corner drug store, but here in 1955 it's a little hard to come by. Marty, I'm sorry, but I'm afriad you're stuck here!

This is it! This is the answer! It says here that a bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04 PM next Saturday Night! If we could somehow... harness this lightning; channel it into the Flux Capacitor, it just might work. Next Saturday night, we're sending you back to the future!

Look! There's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up!

Please excuse the crudity of this model as I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it.
send an e card Doc Brown


Damn! Where is that kid! Damn! Damn, damn!
send an e card Doc Brown


Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88 miles an hour, the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine!
send an e card Doc Brown


It works! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! IT WORKS! I finally invent something that works. Somehow, we've gotta sneak this back to my laboratory. We gotta get you home!

My insurance? It's your car! Your insurance should pay for it, hey I wanna know who's going to pay for this? I spilled beer all over when that car smashed into me, who's going pay my cleaning bill? And where's my reports?
