• Marty McFly : [43:42]  Calvin? Wh... Why do you keep calling me Calvin?

  Lorraine Baines : Well, that is your name, isn't it? Calvin Klein? It's written all over your underwear.

• George McFly : Lorraine. My density has brought me to you.

  Lorraine Baines : What?

  George McFly : Oh. What I meant to say was...

  Lorraine Baines : Wait a minute. Don't I know you from somewhere?

  George McFly : Yes. Yes. I'm George. George McFly. I'm your density. I mean, your destiny.

• [Marty wakes up in Lorraine's bed] 

  Marty McFly : Mom. That you?

  Lorraine Baines : There, there, now. Just relax.

  [pats a damp cloth on Marty's forehead] 

  Lorraine Baines : You've been asleep for almost nine hours now.

  Marty McFly : I had a horrible nightmare. I dreamed that I went... back in time. It was terrible.

  Lorraine Baines : Well, you're safe and sound now, back in good old 1955.

  Marty McFly : [opens his eyes wide]  1955?

• Marty McFly : [acting cool]  Do you mind if we... park... for a while?

  Lorraine Baines : That's a great idea. I'd love to park.

  Marty McFly : Huh?

  Lorraine Baines : Marty, I'm almost 18 years old. It's not like I've never parked before.

  Marty McFly : What?

  Lorraine Baines : Marty, you seem so nervous. Is something wrong?

  Marty McFly : [trying to maintain composure]  No. No.

  [Lorraine takes a sip from a liquor bottle] 

  Marty McFly : [grabbing the bottle from Lorraine]  Lorraine! Lorraine, what are you doing?

  Lorraine Baines : [starting to laugh]  I swiped it from the old lady's liquor cabinet.

  Marty McFly : Yeah, well, you shouldn't drink.

  Lorraine Baines : Why not?

  Marty McFly : Because you... You might regret it later in life.

  Lorraine Baines : Marty, don't be such a square. Everybody who's anybody drinks.

  [Marty takes a sip from Lorraine's bottle then spit-takes as he notices Lorraine lighting a cigarette] 

  Marty McFly : [nauseatingly]  Jeez! You smoke, too?

  Lorraine Baines : Marty, you're beginning to sound just like my mother.

• Lorraine Baines : Marty? Why are you so nervous?

  Marty McFly : Lorraine. Have you ever been in a situation where you knew you had to act a certain way, but when you got there, you didn't know if you could go through with it?

  Lorraine Baines : You mean like how you're supposed to act on a first date?

  Marty McFly : [stammering]  Sort of.

  Lorraine Baines : I think I know exactly what you mean. You know what I do in those situations?

  Marty McFly : You do? What?

  Lorraine Baines : I don't worry.

  [kisses him hard] 

  Lorraine Baines : [Lorraine stops and pulls back, Marty is freaking out] 

  Lorraine Baines : This is all wrong. I don't know what it is. But when I kiss you, it's like I'm kissing... my brother. I guess that doesn't make any sense, does it?

  Marty McFly : Believe me, it makes perfect sense.

• Lorraine Baines : Marty, will we ever see you again?

  Marty McFly : I guarantee it.

• Linda McFly : Then how am I supposed to ever meet anybody?

  Lorraine Baines : Well, it'll just happen. Like the way I met your father.

  Linda McFly : That was so stupid! Grandpa hit him with the car.

  Lorraine Baines : [wistfully]  It was meant to be.

• Lorraine Baines : It's our first television set. Dad just picked it up today. Do you have a television?

  Marty McFly : Well, yeah. You know we have... two of them.

  Milton Baines : Wow! You must be rich.

  Stella Baines : Oh, honey, he's teasing you. Nobody has two television sets.

• Lorraine Baines : Anyway, your Grandpa hit him with the car and brought him into the house. He seemed so helpless, like a little lost puppy, and my heart just went out to him.

  Linda McFly : Yeah, Mom, we know. You've told us this story a million times. You felt sorry for him, so you decided to go with him to the Fish Under the Sea dance.

  Lorraine Baines : No, no. It was the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

• Marty McFly : Where are my pants?

  Lorraine Baines : Over there, on my hope chest.

• Lorraine Baines : Kids, we're gonna have to eat this cake by ourselves. Your Uncle Joey didn't make parole again.

  [drops the cake on the dining table. It reads "Welcome Home, Uncle Joey"] 

  Lorraine Baines : I think it would be nice if you all dropped him a line.

  Marty McFly : Uncle "Jailbird" Joey?

  Dave McFly : He's your brother, Mom.

  Linda McFly : Yeah. I think it's a major embarrassment having an uncle in prison.

  Lorraine Baines : We all make mistakes in life, children.

• [Biff is waxing George's car, it's a silver BMW] 

  George McFly : Now, Biff, I want to make sure that we get two coats of wax this time, not just one.

  Biff Tannen : I'm just finishing up the second coat now.

  George McFly : Now, Biff, don't con me.

  Biff Tannen : [stammering]  I'm sorry, Mr. McFly. I-I meant I was just starting on the second coat.

  George McFly : Biff. What a character. Always trying to get away with something. I've had to stay on top of Biff ever since high school. Although, if it wasn't for him...

  Lorraine Baines : We never would have fallen in love.

  George McFly : That's right.

• Lorraine Baines : I've never seen purple underwear before!

• [George approaches Lorraine's car, thinking that Marty is making advances on her as he and George have planned. However, George doesn't realize that Biff has thrown Marty out and is trying to rape Lorraine] 

  George McFly : [opens the door]  Hey you! Get your damn hands off of...

  [Biff looks up to see who is talking to him. George realizes it is Biff and lets out a moan of chagrin at seeing the bully who tormented] 

  Biff Tannen : [threateningly]  Why don't you walk away, McFly and leave the two of us alone.

  Lorraine Baines : [fearfully]  George! George, help me! Please!

  [Biff pushes her down. George stands his ground] 

  Biff Tannen : Are you dumb, McFly? I said CLOSE the door and WALK AWAY!

  George McFly : [shakingly but firmly]  No, Biff. YOU leave her alone.

  Biff Tannen : [smiles viciously]  Alright, McFly. Now, you're gonna get it.

  [Biff gets out of the car and faces George. George tries to punch Biff in the stomach but Biff blocks the punch by grabbing his fist and begins to bend George's arm back. George gasps in pain] 

  Lorraine Baines : [horrified]  Biff, stop! Stop! You'll break his arm! Biff!

  [Biff ignores her. Lorraine jumps on Biff and begins punching him] 

  Lorraine Baines : [angrily]  Let him go, Biff! Stop it! LET HIM GO!

  [Biff grabs her face and pushes Lorraine to the ground. Biff starts to laugh at her. George, seeing Biff tormenting Lorraine, begins to shake with fury. His hand balls into a fist. When Biff turns to face him, George punches Biff in the face, knocking him out cold. George makes gasping noises and smiles goofily for a few minutes, realizing that he does indeed have the potential to be courageous. He then looks at Lorraine] 

  George McFly : [concerned]  A-Are you okay?

  Lorraine Baines : [Lorraine nods. George helps her up and they walk to the dance, unaware that they are being watched by a happy Marty and a crowd of couples invited to the dance] 

• Linda McFly : Hey, Marty. I'm not your answering service. While you were outside pouting over the car, Jennifer Parker called you twice.

  Lorraine Baines : I don't like her, Marty. Any girl who calls up a boy is just asking for trouble.

  Linda McFly : Oh, Mother, there's nothing wrong with calling a boy.

  Lorraine Baines : I think it's terrible. Girls chasing boys! When I was your age, I never chased a boy or called a boy, or sat in a parked car with a boy.

• Lorraine Baines : Mother? Uh, w-with Marty's parents out of town, don't you think he oughta spend the night? I mean, after all, dad almost killed him with the car.

• Lorraine Baines : Marty, this may seem a little forward, but I was kind of wondering if... i-if you'd ask me to the... Enchantment Under the Sea dance on Saturday?

  Marty McFly : Uh, you mean... you mean nobody's asked you?

  Lorraine Baines : No. Not yet.

  Marty McFly : What about... what about George?

  Lorraine Baines : George McFly? Oh, he... he's kind of cute and all, but, uh, not... well, I think a man should be strong, so he can stand up for himself, and protect the woman he loves. Don't you?

  Marty McFly : [nervously sharing a glance with Doc]  Yeah.

• Babs : [after Marty causes Biff to crash into a manure truck]  Where does he come from?

  Betty : Yeah, where does he live?

  Lorraine Baines : I don't know. But I'm gonna find out.

• Linda McFly : Oh, Marty, I almost forgot. Jennifer Parker called.

  Lorraine Baines : Oh, I sure like her, Marty. She is such a sweet girl. Isn't tonight the night of the big date?

  Marty McFly : What? What, Ma?

  Lorraine Baines : Well, aren't you going up to the lake? You've been planning it for two weeks.

  Marty McFly : Well, mom, we talked about this. I mean, how can I go to the lake? The car's wrecked.

  George McFly : Wrecked?

  Dave McFly : Wrecked?

  Linda McFly : What happened to the car?

  Dave McFly : When the hell did this happen?

  George McFly : Quiet down. I'm sure the car is fine.

  Dave McFly : Why am I always the last one to know about these things?

  George McFly : [leading Marty to the front door]  See? There's Biff out there waxing it right now.

• Biff Tannen : Mr. McFly! Mr. McFly, this just arrived. Oh, hi, Marty. I think it's your new book.

  Lorraine Baines : Oh, honey! Your first novel.

  George McFly : Like I've always told you, you put your mind to it, you can accomplish *anything*.

  Biff Tannen : Oh, Marty. Marty, here's your keys. You're all waxed up, ready for tonight.

  Marty McFly : Keys?

• Lorraine Baines : I think we need a rematch.

  George McFly : Oh, a rematch. Why? Were you cheating?

  Lorraine Baines : No. Good morning

  George McFly : Hello.

  [Marty collapses onto the floor] 

• Biff Tannen : You caused 300 bucks' damage to my car, you son of a bitch. And I'm gonna take it outta your ass. Hold him.

  Lorraine Baines : Let him go, Biff. You're drunk.

  Biff Tannen : Well, looky what we have here.

  [she backs away] 

  Biff Tannen : No, no! Stay right here with me. Come on, Lorraine.

  Lorraine Baines : Let me go!

  Marty McFly : Leave her alone, you bastard!

  Biff Tannen : [to his friends]  You guys, take him in back, all right? I'll be right there.

  [turning his attention back to Lorraine] 

  Biff Tannen : Just admit that you want it. Come on. Come on.

  [seeing his friends still there, he shuts the car door] 

  Biff Tannen : Well, go on! This ain't no peep show.

• Lorraine Baines : That's a big bruise you have there.

  Marty McFly : [backing away, he falls off the bed]  Ahhh!

  Stella Baines : [hearing the noise]  Lorraine, are you up there?

  Lorraine Baines : Oh, my god. It's my mother! Quick! Put your pants back on!

• Lorraine Baines : How's your head?

  Marty McFly : Uh, good. Fine.

  Lorraine Baines : I've been so worried about you ever since you ran off the other night. Are you okay?

  Babs : [the tardy bell rings]  Come on. We're tardy!

  Lorraine Baines : [getting pulled away]  Sorry. I have to go.

  Babs : Come on!

  Lorraine Baines : Isn't he a dreamboat?

• Biff Tannen : You want it. You know you want it. You know you want me to give it to you.

  Lorraine Baines : [slapping him]  Shut your filthy mouth. I'm not that kind of girl.

  Biff Tannen : Well, maybe you are and you just don't know it yet.

  Lorraine Baines : Get your meat hooks off of me.

  Marty McFly : You heard her.

  [pulling him to his feet, he realizes Biff towers over him] 

  Marty McFly : She said get your meat hooks... off. Uh, please.

  Biff Tannen : [shoving him]  So what's it to you, butthead? You've been looking for a...

  [shoving him again, Marty shoves back; Biff moves to hit him until he sees Strickland] 

• Marty McFly : [leaving the Enchantment Under the Sea dance]  Lorraine.

  Lorraine Baines : Marty, that was very interesting music.

  Marty McFly : Uh, yeah.

  Lorraine Baines : Uh, I hope you don't mind, but George asked if he could take me home.

  Marty McFly : Great! Good. Good, Lorraine. I had a feeling about you two.

• Biff Tannen : Hey, McFly!

  Marty McFly : Oh, jeez...

  Biff Tannen : I thought I told you never to come in here. Well, it's gonna cost you. How much money you got on you?

  George McFly : Well, how much do you want, Biff?

  Biff Tannen : [people murmur as Marty trips him]  All right, punk. Now I'm gonna...

  Marty McFly : [pointing behind him]  Whoa, whoa, Biff. What's that?

  [Biff turns around to look; as he turns back, Marty punches him in the face; running away, he knocks over Skinhead, 3-D, and Match] 

  Lorraine Baines : That's Calvin Klein. Oh, my god, he's a dream.

• Marty McFly : [surprised to see his parents in the new 1985]  You guys... you guys look great. Mom, you-you look so thin.

  Lorraine Baines : Why, thank you, Marty.

  [George playfully pinches her butt] 

  Lorraine Baines : George!
