Back to the Future Part III Quotes

Flea as Doc

• (Bartender) "Emmett. What can I get you? The usual?"
• (Flea) "No, Chester, I'm gonna need something a lot stronger than that tonight."
• (Bartender) "Sarsaparilla?"
• (Flea) "Whiskey, Chester."
• (Bartender) "Whiskey? Emmett, are you sure? You remember what happened to you on the 4th of July?"
• (Flea) "Whiskey."
• (Bartender) "Okay, I ain't your papa. I just don't want to see you do the wrong thing."

• (Flea) "This spur runs off the main line three miles down to Clayton Ravine. There's a long stretch of 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 an old Indian name for it. It's perfect, a nice long run that goes clear across the bridge over the ravine, you know, over near that Hilldale housing development."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Right, Doc, but according to this map, there is no bridge."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Well, Doc, we can scratch that idea. I mean, we can't wait around a year and a half for this thing to get finished."
• (Flea) "Marty, it's perfect, you're just not thinking fourth-dimensionally."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Right, right. I have a real problem with that."
• (Flea) "Don't you see? The bridge will exist in 1985. It's safe and still in use. Therefore, as long as we get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour 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."
• (Michael J. Fox) "What about the locomotive?"
• (Flea) "It'll be a spectacular wreck. Too bad no one will be around to see it."

• (Flea) "These are our boys; Jules, and Verne."

• (Flea) "Marty, you're going to have to do something about those clothes. You walk around town dressed like that, you're liable to get shot."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Or hanged."
• (Flea) "What idiot dressed you in that outfit?"
• (Michael J. Fox) "You did."

• (Flea) "Marty, I gave you explicit instructions not to come here but to go directly back to 1985."

• (Flea) "But it's good to see ya, Marty."

• (Flea) "Reach."
• (Elisabeth Shue) "Is this a holdup?"

• (Flea) "You're just not thinking fourth dimensionally."

• (Michael J. Fox) "What are you talkin' about, Doc?"
• (Flea) "There's no point in denying it. I'm in love with Clara."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Oh, man. Doc, we don't belong here. Neither one of us. You know, it could still be you that gets shot tomorrow."
• (Michael J. Fox) "This tombstone could still be in your future."
• (Flea) "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."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Doc, you're a scientist."
• (Michael J. Fox) "So you tell me: What's the right thing to do?"
• (Michael J. Fox) "Up here?"
• (Flea) "You're right, Marty."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Wow, that worked great."
• (Flea) "I've at least gotta tell her goodbye."
• (Michael J. Fox) "C'mon, Doc. I mean, think about it. What are you gonna say to her? "I gotta go back to the future"? I mean, she's not gonna understand that, Doc. Hell, I'm in it with you and even I don't understand it."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Doc. Listen, maybe we could; I don't know. Maybe we could just take Clara with us."
• (Flea) "To the future?"
• (Flea) "As you reminded me, Marty, I'm a scientist, so I must be scientific about this. I cautioned you about disrupting the continuum for your own personal 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."

• (Flea) "Great Scott."

• (Flea) "Marty, you can't go losing your judgment every time someone calls you a name. That's exactly what causes you to get into that accident in the future."

• (Flea) "The thing I really miss here is Tylenol."

• (Michael J. Fox) "I know, Doc, it's beautiful."

• (Flea) "Clara was one in a million. One in a billion. One in a googolplex."

• (Flea) "Well, she did have quite a shock. After all, Miss Clayton almost ended up at the bottom of Clayton Ravine --"
• (Flea) "Clayton Ravine --"
• (Michael J. Fox) "Holy s***, Doc. Clayton Ravine was named after a teacher. They say she fell in there a hundred years ago."

• (Elisabeth Shue) "Ha. 90? Tarnation, son, who'd ever need to be in such a hurry?"
• (Flea) "Well, it's just a little bet he and I have, that's all. Theoretically speaking, could it be done?"
• (Elisabeth Shue) "Well, I suppose if you had a straight stretch of track with a level grade, and you weren't haulin' no cars behind you, and if you can get the fire hot enough, and I'm talkin' about hotter than the blazes of hell and damnation itself -- then yes, it might be possible to get her up that fast."

• (Michael J. Fox) "Aw, come on, Doc, it's not science. When it happens, it just hits you. It's like lightning."

• (Michael J. Fox) "Look, Doc, what's the worst that can happen, huh? So they don't name the ravine after her. Let's just get the DeLorean ready and get the hell out of here."

• (Michael J. Fox) ""Buford Tannen was a notorious gunman, whose short temper and a tendency to drool, earned him the nickname 'Mad Dog.' He was quick on the trigger and bragged that he'd killed 12 men, not including Indians or Chinamen.""
• (Young Doc) "Does it mention me? Am I one of the 12?"
• (Michael J. Fox) "Just a minute. "However, this can not be substantiated since precise records were not kept after Tannen shot a newspaper editor who printed an unfavorable story about him in 1884." That's why we can't find anything."
• (Young Doc) "Look. "William McFly and family." Your relatives?"
• (Michael J. Fox) "My great-grandfather's name was William."
• (Michael J. Fox) "That's him, good looking guy."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Maybe it was just a mistake, Doc. Maybe that grave wasn't yours. There could've been another Emmett Brown back in 1885."
• (Young Doc) "No."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Did you have relatives here back then?"
• (Young Doc) "The Browns didn't come to Hill Valley until 1908. Then, they were the Von Brauns. My father changed our name during the first World War."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Doc, look."
• (Young Doc) "Great Scott. It's me. Then, it is true. All of it. It is me who goes back there and gets shot."
• (Michael J. Fox) "It's not gonna happen, Doc. After you fix the time circuits and put new tires on the DeLorean, I'm gonna go back to 1885 and I'm bringing you home."

• (Bartender) "Seamus. I didn't expect to see you here this early."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Aye. But somethin' told me I should be here, as if my future had something to do with it."

• (Young Doc) "Marty, you have to wear the boots. You can't wear those futuristic things back in 1885. You shouldn't even be wearing them here in 1955."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Alright, Doc. Look, as soon I get there, I'll put them on. I promise."

• (Michael J. Fox) "Doc. Doc. Doc."
• (Young Doc) "What?"
• (Michael J. Fox) "Doc."
• (Young Doc) "What?"
• (Michael J. Fox) "Doc."
• (Young Doc) "Aaaah."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Okay, relax, Doc, it's me. It's me, It's Marty."

• (Young Doc) "Ready Marty?"
• (Michael J. Fox) "READY."
• (Young Doc) "Set."
• (Young Doc) "VAYA CON DIOS."

• (Michael J. Fox) "Bartender says that's the strongest stuff they got."
• (Flea) "Try it, Marty."
• (Flea) "Give it more gas --"
• (Flea) "Damn. It blew the fuel injection manifold. Strong stuff alright, it'll take me a month to rebuild it."
• (Michael J. Fox) "A month? Doc, you're gonna get shot on Monday."
• (Flea) "I know, I know --. Wait, I've got it. we can simply roll it down a steep hill -- no, no, we'd never find a smooth enough surface. Unless -- of course, ice. We'll wait until winter, when the lake freezes over we'll --"
• (Michael J. Fox) "Winter? Doc. Monday, it's three days away."
• (Flea) "Okay, okay, let's think this through logically -- we know that it won't run under its own power and we know we can't pull it, but if we could find a way to push it up to 88 miles per hour --"
• (Flea) "That's it."

• (Michael J. Fox) "You had him, Mr. Eastwood. You could have just walked away and nobody would've thought the less of you for it. All it would have been was words -- hot air from a buffoon. Instead, you let him rile you, rile you into playin' his game, his way, by his rules."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Seamus, relax, I know what I'm doin'."
• (Lea Thompson) "He reminds me of poor Martin."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Aye."

• (Michael J. Fox) "Me brother."
• (Michael J. Fox) "Wait a minute, you have a brother named Martin McFly?"
• (Michael J. Fox) "Had a brother. Martin used to let men provoke him into fightin'. He was concerned people would think him a coward if he refused. That's how he got a Bowie knife shoved through his belly at a saloon in Virginia City. Never considered the future, poor Martin, God rest his soul."
• (Lea Thompson) "Sure'n I hope you're considerin' the future, Mr. Eastwood."
