In BACK TO THE FUTURE III Dr. Emmett L. Brown(Doc)
fell hopelessely in love with Clara Clayton(a teacher) in
1885, and he chose to stay instead of returning with Marty(his
best friend) in 1985. He did return at a later time with his
new space-time vehicle, - a flying train - . He was accompanied
this time by Clara and their two sons Jules and Verne, to retrieve
Einstein(his dog). He reassured Marty and Jennifer(Marty’s
Girl friend) of their future and bid them a final farewell before
leaving for the far west.
The first scene of the scenario BACK TO THE FUTURE IV takes
place on the 11th of october 1895, in the evening at Hill Valley,
at the Brown’s residence. Before the scene with the first actors
we can see on a global view of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett L. Brown’s
property. The scene transgresses from a general view(a
colonial style house with a hangar and other structures) to
specific views of details such as the banging of the hangar door
by the north wind that raises, sweeps and drives upwards the
autumn leaves. A windmill and a weather vane turn and twist
under the ravages of the wind. Finally the scene enters the house
where we hear the tick-tock of the grandfather clock which shows
the time to be 8:23pm. All this is supported by soft and melancholy
music similar to BACK TO THE FUTURE III at the beginning of
the film(music of Alan Silvestri).

1. INT. SECOND FLOOR / VERNE’S BEDROOM / EVENING
Hill Valley, 11 October 1895 - 8:23pm. On the second floor
Clara(Mrs. Brown) is tucking in Verne. VERNE Brown, 8, who,
still intrigued by the story told by his grandfather asks:
VERNE
Is it true that the Vikings discovered America before
Christopher Columbus, that they wrought terror wherever
they set foot, and that they were unimaginably cruel?
CLARA answers very frankly.
CLARA
Yes it’s true.
VERNE
Grandpa Clayton also told us when he came to visit the other
day that it was the Vikings who killed one of his ancestors, the
Duke of Scotland, Charles-Philippe Clayton, and that they palliaged
the Edinburgh castle and burnt all the documents that held titles,
good and rights of succession?
CLARA
Well... at least that what our ancestors from Scotland told
us. Unfortunately, we can’t prove it by any reliable means,
so it is best for you to forget about it. Don’t start believing
in tall tales, or you might end up believing in the “loch ness”
monster Leiv Eriksson “the Viking” or Redbeard “the pirate”.
2. INT. GROUND FLOOR / BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS
At that moment, DOC(Dr. Emmett L. Brown) who was listening
to part of the conversation on the ground floor, puts on his long
jacket and hat and says to Clara at the bottom of the stairs.
DOC
Clara, I’m going to get some wood to start the fire in the
living-room. At the same time I’m going to tell Jules to go to
bed too. He must be in the hangar.
3. INT. SECOND FLOOR / VERNE’S BEDROOM
CLARA
It’s Emmett!!
She kisses Verne and says to him in a soft voice.
CLARA
Go to sleep now. Forget about all those horrible stories. If
you don’t you’ll get nightmares, then you’ll wake up and have
trouble getting back to sleep, and you will get to school tired.
She puts out the light and adds.
CLARA
Good night, my dear.
4. INT. HANGAR / TRAIN « ELB »
Doc has just crossed the rear court and has arrived at the
hangar, he opens the door and suprises JULES Brown, 9, who is
on the flying train, (the train with the initiales ELB on it) pretending
to drive it. He has found him on the train many times before and
is angry. He orders him down.
DOC
Jules!!... get down here this instant, and get to bed!!
JULES
But papa!!.. we have a machine that we can travel through
time with, and we don’t use it. We could make a trip from once
in a while, but all it does is sit here and rust.
DOC
Jules!... I have already told you a thousand times we can’t keep
on travelling in time with risking damaging the space-time
continuum. You must live like all the other boys of this time.
That is the way it should be. Now, come on, come down so
you can get to bed.
On that note, Jules lets out a sigh, descends nonchalantly from
the train, and visibly upset, answers.
JULES
O.K., I’m going.
He walks drudgingly over to the door and returns to the house.
5. INT. LIVING ROOM
Jules and Verne are in bed. - 9:00pm chimes. Doc and Clara
are in the living room. She is putting away some books, and he
is standing next to the fireplace. The the fire is slowly coming
to life. Doc wishes to know more about this story that was told
by his father-in-law when he was not there. With a curious air,
he turns to Clara and asks her.
DOC
Clara, can you tell me about this story that your father told the
other day to the children? I am intrigued by it. I wasn’t there,
when he told the story, one of the palms of Judge Mason’s
wind generator was damaged by the wings from the other day.
It had to be mended. For the next day. Who is Charles-Philippe
Clayon?
Clara stops in the middle of putting a book away. She slowly
pushes it in, and then turns to look at Doc with a serious air,
that unnerves him. She sits down on the couch and begins to
tell the story - stock remains standing in front of the
fireplace. (flash back)
CLARA (v.o)
Well... my father told it to me long ago... at the beginning of
the XI century, the Vikings invaded Scotland, from the North
Sea, not too far from Edinburgh Castle, which supposedly
belonged to the duke of Scotland, Charles-Philippe Clayton,
my father’s ancestor. He lived in peace with his wife, Katherina,
and his only daughter, Amely.
One of the servants had just been told that the villagers were
fleeing the village into the woods. The Vikings were headed
towards the castle, and it would be wise to flee. They were
outnumbered, and the Vikings were very cruel. Charles-Philippe
Clayton was not an easy man to beat. He was a Highlander
and had fought at the side of KNUD the great, against invaders.
He decided to stay. He armed his servants, and with the help of
some knights, and gave a considerable resistance, which
momentarily stunned the Vikings. Despite that, the Vikings
prevailed and entered the castle.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he decided to flee with
his wife and daughter, as well as a few other warriors. But then,
he became trapped by the pillagers. He had almost defeated the
chief, when one of the Vikings stabbed him in the back, ending
his life. He then brutally raped and strangled his wife.
Amely, who was hiding behind the door that led to the secret
passage, saw everything that happened. She was so traumatized
by what she saw that at that time, she was permanently muted
by fear, and almost by miracle managed to avoid their attention.
After the Vikings had gone, she was found by one of the duke’s
bakers, named Cedric, who had managed to avoid the barbarians.
He and his wife Rebecca took her under their roof for some time.
One day they returned to the castle and found it already reinhabit.
They asked who live there, and much to their surprise, they
found it was the count of Oxford Robert Cromwell. Much like
the hyena, who waits for the lion to abandon his prey, the count
had acquired the land after the Vikings had left. Cedric, as well
as all that were with him protested saying « She was the only
daughter of Charles-Philippe Clayton. » and so the inheritance
of the castle, and all its titles were bound to her and should be
given to her immediately.
But the count of Oxford, who had done his own research when
he first arrived. Found no proof of her inheritance, and to his
joy supposed that said manuscripts had been destroyed.
Hypocritically he demanded that she prove her inheritance
by written testament. As she was evidently unable to do at
that time, and she was unaware of the secret hiding place,
that her father had hidden the documents. Seeing that the
crowd was becoming more frustrated, the count, used their
anger against her, and threatened to exile her to afar off
country, if she, Cedric and all who followed them did not
immediately leave the castle, and never return.
Later, after she had become a woman she met a Chevalier
by the name of Tristan Clayton, a German cousin, three times
removed. Taken aback by her beauty he swore to love her
until the day they die. They married and had 14 children,
eight boys, and six girls.
Before she died, Amely Clayton left a long letter about this
horrible story, which left her mute. She ended the letterby
insisting to her children « never forget that you are the true
descendents of the Duke of Scotland, Charles-Philippe
Clayton. ».
A prophet of the 16th century, named Jovianus, a holy
Benedictine Monk revived hope when he announced: « The
original manuscript has never been destroyed, and one day,
near the end of time, after the great cataclysm it will be found
and confined to a new world. It will be found near a crystal
brook, that separates the Redlands. It will bring justice, and
will establish the true descendents and all their rights. ».
Doc, who is stunned by what Clara has just revealed remains
fixed in place. He looks at her with an astonished look on his
face, his patented jaw-dropped mouth and fisheye expression,
says it all. Baffled, he exclaims:
DOC
My goodness, what a terrible tragedy! Why did you never tell
me before? you know we can go back in time with my machine
and... (at this point, he is interrupted)
Clara interrupts him, and with an strained emotional voice
says:
CLARA
I’ll have nothing of it!! And if I have not talked to you before...
it is because you believe that you can change the past with
your time machine. It’s too dangerous!! Haven’t you told us time
after time, that there are many risks? Why, didn’t you just scold
Jules tonight about that?
6. INT. SECOND FLOOR / AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
Jules and Verne who undoubtedly can’t sleep, are listening in
to the conversation. Having heard only part of the conversation
from their rooms, they decided to sit at the top of the stairs,
where the reception is better.
7. INT. LIVING ROOM
DOC
(Continuing) Useless!!...
He is so overwhelmed, that he begins to stutter.
DOC
But Clara!... you are... you are...
He begins to have troubles with his conjugations...
DOC
will be...
He regains his self-control...
DOC
You are the Duchess of Scotland!!... the highest title, under
the old regime!!
Upset, he concludes.
DOC
And all because those barbarians decided to invade your
homeland... Oh!!.. what a tragedy!!
Clara sees that he is very upset. And she regrets having
revealed all this to him, she decides to make you understand
the risks and understand that is useless to make a journey
through time for this.
CLARA
Emmett, listen to yourself. We would have to go back in time
to the 11th century in the middle of Viking invasion just to find
some documents. No thank you. It’s too perilous. Please,
let’s forget about all that and continue to live like we are now.
Are we not happy living like this?
Doc finally agrees with her.
DOC
As usual my dear, you are right... anyway, I would have to
modify the train, we can’t go to Scotland in the middle of the
11th century with a locomotive. How would we land? There are
no rails. And what of the prophet Jovianus, who claims that
everything will be better “after the great Cataclysm”. How
are we to know when that will happen?... He gives no date
or location... It’s so vague we have more luck of finding...
a needle in a haystack.
8. INT. SECOND FLOOR / TOP OF THE STAIRS
After having heard what his father said, Jules turns to Verne
and whispers in his ear.
JULES
You see Verne, the only problem with going back to the 11th
century is the type of machine. We must find an appropriate
machine from the Middle Age!
Verne the looks at NEWTON(Doc’s dog in 1895) who has just
slipped in between then and then Verne whispers to him in turn:
VERNE
What do you think Newton?
Newton growls lowly(grrr...) and nods his head as if in
agreement.
9. INT. LIVING ROOM
And then, looking at the “photo” of himself and Marty near the
town hall Clock in Hill Valley, Doc becomes nostalgic, and begins
to reminisce of the autumn “goings-on” with his best friend.
DOC
At the end of the month of October, the 31st... he would get
prepared for and go to the Halloween costume ball of Hill Valley
with myself and Jennifer... anyway when I was there. The next
weekend to unwind... and this is something I always found
amusing with him... even if he was THE ROCKER of his High
School. He would go down to Pampelo Bay down to an old
chalet that his uncle Jeffrey Baines would lend him year after
year that was near the edge of the sea. He sat there, no radio,
no telephone and watched the migrating birds and fauna all
around him. Finally because I was his best friend and had no
living relatives, he would invite me to pass “Thanksgiving” with
him and his family. Of course, I was always more than willing
to oblige... (fade out)
10. EXT. NEAR THE SEA SIDE / DOCK / MID - AFTER NOON
Meanwhile, while Doc is reminiscing in front of his photo, MARTY
in 1985 is having a nightmare after he has dozed off near the
sea-side while bird-watching. He is suddenly awakend by the noise
of a motor that sounds like a small aircraft propellor. This noise
scares a flock of nearby birds that all take flight at the same time.
As he is lying flat on his back he gets up and sits straight using
one hand. He then looks around him with eyes half open because
he is blinded by the sun.
MARTY
What is that awful noise? Why did the birds fly off? It... sounds...
like a... small aircraft engine. I thought I had found a place
where I could get away from all the noise.
And suddenly stopping, he looks in front of him and sees
a hydrofoil, that is heading right for him, blowing its horn all
the meanwhile. Panicking, he jumps up and yells:
MARTY
Shiiiitttt!!! He’s gonna kill me!!!
11. EXT. SEA / HYDROFOIL
Panicking, he starts running backwards, stumbles over a
cooler, that was just behind him, he manages to get back up
and then starts to run and limp at the same time. After having
gone a few yards(meters) he hears the voice of the driver on
hydrofoil by way of a loudspeaker. (The loudspaker is similar
to one that the coast guard uses to talk to other ship) It’s
DOC 1985 dressed as “Christopher Colombus” with “a cape,
a hat, and a sword and scabbard”. That proclames in a loud
succint voice:
DOC 1985
Marty!!! Come back!!! It’s me!!!
12. EXT. NEAR THE SEA SIDE / DOCK
Marty, recognizing Doc’s voice, stops dead in his tracks,
and relieved, turns slowly around with his usual air with any
similar circumstance, that is to say - still a little sceptical. Then,
seeing Doc waving his arm in all directions, suprised and still
a little dumbfounded he says:
MARTY
Doc?... Doc? Is that really you?... what are you doing here on
a hydrofoil?
Doc turns off the motor of the hydrofoil, which is stil moving
towards land and then stops abruptly as it reaches shore, appox.
50 feet(15 meters) from Marty. He then gets down with a single
bound, and lands on shore. Doc then marches towards Marty.
Terrified he grabs Marty by both hands and says.
DOC 1985
Marty, we must leave right away!! The Vikings have arrived
on shore and will soon be here! Look over there(pointing) to
the left not far from the headlight! It’s their boat... a drakkar!
Marty looks at him confused - scratching his head - .
Thinking it to be a joke he answers sarcastically.
MARTY
Come in Doc... that’s impossible! Everyone knows very well
the Viking disappeared nearly 1000 years ago. And for the...
drakkar... over there it must simply be a replica. There is
nothing done today we don’t know about. I don’t have to tell
you that, Doc. Tell me first... what are you doing in that
get-up? Is it your new Halloween costume?
Doc insisting exclames.
DOC 1985
Argh! Argh! Argh! I don’t have the time to explain everything.
Marty you’ve gotta believe me! The Vikings are right here,
right now! We must leave beforethey find us!
Just as Doc finishes, suddenly Marty hears som “barbarian
singing” and the voice of a young woman who is desperately
calling for help. It’s JENNIFER who the Viking have kidnapped
and bound. She cals repeatedly louder and louder.
JENNIFER (v.o)
Help!!!... Somebody please help me!!!
Exhausted, hopeless, sobbing, she contines intermittently.
JENNIFER (v.o)
Please... I’m begging(weaker)... somebody please help me!!!
The Vikings want to cook her on a fire they just lit. They want
to stick her like a pig-on-a-stick, and then eat her(They were
canniballs). Marty who hears her voice exclames and looks
at Doc.
MARTY
That's Jennifer Voice!
Doc then says in turn.
DOC 1985
The cries are coming from the woods back there, (pointing)
I believe? Look at the smoke! Quickly, let’s go!
13. EXT. WOODS / VIKINGS ENCAMPEMENT
They both run in the direction of the woods, guided by the long
trail of smoke which wifts in the air. At the same time that they
arrive THE VIKINGS are already settling down to eat, drink and
feast. And there, behing the undergrowth they see Jennifer on
her knees, hands and feet bound head on a tree stump. A
Viking with a red beard and red hair, FIRE BEARD, is preparing
to behead her with an enormous axe. Witness to this horrible
spectacle, Marty can no longer contain himself and cries out in
a voice that would chill your soul.
MARTY
NOOOOOO!!!
14. INT. MARTY’S ROOM / MORNING
Saturday 31st October 1985. The clock at the bedside says
9:53am. Marty is having a nightmare, he is thrashing around
violently in his bed. His head, arms and body are fighting
violently, turning, and twisting from left to right. He is now at
the point of waking up.
MARTY
No!No!No!No!NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
He is caught is in bedclothes, and he rolls of the bed, knocking
his head against the nigthstands. He wakes up and rubs the
wound on the side of his head and says slowly, grimacing
from pain.
MARTY
Man!... what a nightmare!
15. INT. HALLWAY / NEAR MARTY’S ROOM
Slowly, he gets up and walks toward his bedroom door. It’s
Halloween. His family is already up. They heard a lot of noise
coming from his bedroom. They are getting ready to suprise
him, and are waitng feverishly outside his door. They are
disguised in their Halloween costumes. His father - GEORGE -
disguised as a musketeer, his mother - LORRAINE - as a
shepherd, his brother - DAVE - as a court jester, his sister
- LINDA - as a witch, and finally BIFF Tannen , the family
valet - consequence or result of his journey back to 1955, is
disguised as the hunchbak of Notre-Dame. When Marty opens
his door, and unexpectedly finds this “medieval array” believes
for a moment, that he is still in his nightmare, so when he
opens his door and screams.
MARTY
AAAAHHHH!!!
16. INT. MARTY’S ROOM
With lightning speed he runs back into his room, slams the
door, locks it, then still screaming yells.
MARTY
Get out!!! Get out of my life!!! Get out of my house!!!
Leave me alone!!!
17. INT. HALLWAY / NEAR MARTY’S ROOM
Breathless, on his last nerve, he stops and hears the voice of
his father GEORGE who is knocking on his door and saying
incessantly.
GEORGE
Marty, come on it’s us, your family! (he stops knocking).
What’s the matter? We heard thumping? Did you hurt yourself?
As he does not answer, the others try each in turn, starting
with his mother LORRAINE.
LORRAINE
Hey, dear! Did you forget that it was Halloween today?
DAVE
We just wanted to give you a surprise... looked like it worked!
LINDA
Hey Marty, you ate too much at Burger King last night before
getting to sleep, that’s what happened, eh, and you had one
heck of a nightmare. Anyway, I’m not all that scary.
BIFF
Mis’ Jennifer will soon be here!... and we’re all gonna have
fun tonight, right Marty!
18. INT. MARTY’S ROOM
With that said, Marty with his back still against the door,
and eyes tightly closed, slowly opens one eye, then the other,
turns and looks the calendar hanging on his bedroom door
and sees that it is Halloween, and he is no longer in his
nightmare. He unlocks his door, opens it, looks at everyone
and says repentant.
19. INT. HALLWAY / MARTY’S BEDROOM DOOR
MARTY
o.k. I know, I’m sorry, I had a “terrible nightmare” that Vikings
had captured Jennifer. And I woke up screaming jast as one of
them was about to behead her with an enormous axe, so they
could put her on a spit, cook her, then eat her. I fell off my bed
and hit my head against the nightstand. When I saw you guys,
when I opened the door, all dressed in medieval disguises,
I thought I was still dreaming.
Just as Marty finishes, (everyone still suprised by what he said)
the doorbell rings. BIFF performing his duty as a servant(as a
repentant idiot) breaks the almost religious silence heads
towards the door.
BIFF
(to all) Stay put! Don’t worry about it! I’ll get it!
20. INT. FRONT DOOR
Arriving at the door, he opens it. It’s Jennifer Parker dressed
as a countess. When Biff see her, he stands as if amazed.
BIFF
(to Marty) Oh, it’s miss Jennifer, Marty. (to all) Come
and look, she looks super!
Everyone heads towards the door to see her. Marty leading
the way. Taken aback by her beautiful countess’s dress with
a lovely wig. All the family admires her, Jennifer smiles at
Marty, fan in one hand, umbrella in the other, Marty
exclames as if in ecstasy.
MARTY
WOOOW!!... You look beautiful in that dress Jennifer...!
Ravished and glowing with joy, JENNIFER wishes to prolong
this short “savoury” moment and asks him in an “aristocratic”
manner.
JENNIFER
Does thou wish to be my escort... or rather my gentleman
knight for the glorious ball tonight “Master McFly!”.
Marty, flattered plays the game by acting the gentleman. He
takes her hand, bends down on one knee and declares - as
if he were preposing.
MARTY
If thou wouldst have me, lady countess...
And looking up he turns towards Biff, with a mean little
smile(because he knows Biff is the family valet and must do
everything they ask of him).
MARTY
Biff, my good squire could you find me a carriage with white
horses for the fair “Cinderella”... to about midnight... to the
ball... I wish to escort Jennifer there.
Biff begins to hesitate.
BIFF
Oh!... uhm... I don’t know if I can find that for tonight, Marty?
George, who was completely behing the group amassed at
the door, retakes control(exactly like BTTF 1).
GEORGE
No Biff! They don’t makes carriages anymore. Here, take my
credit card (giving him his card).This is for the expenses
tonight. O.K. Biff!
Biff leaves to prepare immediately(still acting like the
repentant fool as in BTTF 1), he leaves saying.
BIFF
Got it Mr. McFly, I’ll take care of everything. I’ll get it done
right away.
And turning back towards her, Marty continues by offering to
visit Doc’s house... to reminisce. and to assure himself that his
nightmare is over. His family gives them a moment of privacy,
he takes her hand and asks her.
MARTY
(to Jennifer) Well... what do you say we go out together...
maybe get a drink? fries? maybe a Sunday? Then we can head
on down to Doc’s house... even if he’s no longer there. I’d really
like to... you know to remember the good old times. I’ll drive
you home after. Whaddya say?
Jennifer answers him delighted by the idea, but reminding him
of their “Halloween Ball” rendez-vous.(She says this because
she half-expects Doc to appear and take Marty on another
wild adventure).
JENNIFER
O.K., but promise me we won’t stay too long... we have a
date tonight Marty!
Marty answers, already on his way.
MARTY
Great! Let’s go!
They each get in their own side of Marty’s “PICK UP 4X4
SR5 XTRA-CAB TOYOTA 1984” and leave.
21. EXT. DR. BROWN’S HOUSE « 1985 »
After they get their drinks they arrive at “Doc’s house - 1646
Riverside street”. He and Jennifer get down, drinks in hand.
After their short visit to a local “Snack-Bar”, in order to satisfy
Marty’s overwhelming curiosity(since his nightmare), they
head towards the house. Marty checks one side of the house,
then the other, outpacing Jennifer, who due to her high heels,
aristocratic dress which she must constanly lift to be able to
walk, find the tour more difficult. Jennifer is still sucking on
her “Milk Shake” straw. Marty stops on the corner(on the
“Burger King” side). She says.
JENNIFER
(looking around) You see Marty... nothing’s changed.
They stop at a “hangar” or some kind of “annex” between
the house and Doc’s workshop that they never notice until
now. Drawn by the words “PAINT SHOP” that are written on
the door, he murmurs aloud with Jennifer following
him closely now.
MARTY
(reading slowly) PAINT... SHOP...?
Continuing, but astonished and curious, he says to Jennifer
who is content to follow him without asking any questions.
MARTY
That’s weird, I never noticed this part of the house
before... (advancing)
22. EXT. DR. BROWN’S HOUSE / HANGAR / WINDOW
Arriving finally at the door, he tries to open it but finds it
locked. Being that there is no window they look around until
they find a “window”. Getting up on tip-toe, and tring to peer
through the dirty glass he looks inside. Jennifer copies him
and looks over his shoulder. Through the “twilight” they see
a nearly- assembled vehicle which almost resembles a
“hydrofoil” (in reality it is a “aerohydrofoil”) as Doc will reveal
further on. At this time however, because it is not completely
assembled Marty believes it to be a “hydrofoil”, similar to the
one in his nightmare. He shields his eyes and describes it
to Jennifer.
MARTY
Do you see that!.. it looks like an all terrain vehicle... with an
elongated Delorean body mounted on an air cushion... looks
like Doc didn’t finish it?... There’s something written on the
side of the body(reading) “DMC... EXPLORER IV ”. Well,
then there’s no doubt it’s a Delo!... (murmuring) It’s look’s
a lot like the one in my nightmare last night.
Meanwhile, Jennifer is standing behind him, not saying a word,
with her head on his shoulder, content to listen to him. She
decides to remind him of his evening plans, seeing that he is
becoming captivated by Doc’s inventions, and she doesn’t
want Marty going off on another one of Doc’s crazy
adventures.
JENNIFER
Hey, Marty, did you forget about our date tonight!
Marty answers. Trying to reassure her(inside, he believes his
nightmare will cometrue, but he doesn’t what to show his
worry to Jennifer).
MARTY
No, I haven’t forgotten. And nothing’s changed Jennifer.
Don’t worry. We’ll be at the dance as promised.
He slowly approaches closer to her while looking right into
her eyes and says seductively, and very “romanticly”.
MARTY
And we’re going to enjoy ourselves...!
Then he tenderly kisses her.
MARTY
o.k...!
Jennifer, still captivated by the kiss, answers in turn, in
a sensuel tone.
JENNIFER
o.k...!
He then takes her by the hand, and says as if to show her
how important she is to him.
MARTY
I’ll take you home now. We’ll see each other later on tonight!
Marty drive her home and then drives himself home.
23. INT. MARTY’S ROOM
Back in his room, he gently closes his door and stops to
look and his souvenir photo(the one that he and Doc took
next to the big clock in Hill Valley in 1885 and that Doc gave
to him just before leaving for the far west in BTTF 3). He
then takes the “photoframe” on top of his dresser and
becomes nostalgic - just like Doc in 1895 was previously.
MARTY
I wonder what he’s doing right now... (talking about Doc
living in the far west).
Looking at the photo closer, he realizes the cardboard
holding the photo in back is not very solid. He turns the
frame around to try to find the problem and discovers that
there is something written on the back on the top right. He
murmurs.
MARTY
Well! Well! What do we have here. There is something
written... (reading) “We’ll see each other again. Your
friend in time always... Doc E.L.B.” Hmmm! maybe
everything that happened today is a sign of things to come.
Maybe something... very important...!
With this last phrase said, Marty stands there, one hand on
his head, the other on the frame and thinks about all that
this signifies. (fade out)
24. INT. THE BROWN’S HOUSE « 1895 » / LIVING ROOM
Hill Valley 1895 - Doc, has been standing and staring and
his photo, while Clara was sitting in the living room. Clara
calls to him to “bring him back to earth”.
CLARA
Emmett!.. are you all right?
Doc comes back down to earth and answers.
DOC
Wha... yes... yes... It’s just just that I was a little distracted...
the photo bought back some memories.
They stay there a while longer and then go to sleep.
25. INT. SCHOOL / CLASSROOM / MORNING
It is 10:27am on the pendulum clock hanging in the classroom.
Clara is writing on the chalkboard and teaching when suddenly,
someone knocks at the door. She goes to open it. It is the
“Western Union” TELEGRAPH DELIVERY MAN who coldly says.
TELEGRAPH DELIVERY MAN
Are you Mrs. Emmett L. Brown?
CLARA
Why, yes! It’s me! What is the meaning of bothering me in
the middle of my class?
With an imperative tone(wishing to leave quickly) he
answers.
TELEGRAPH DELIVERY MAN
A telegraph madam! It comes to you from Vriginia City. It is
from... (looking) Mrs. Wilmor Clayton. Please sign here.
She signs the manifest. He then gives her the telegraph and
quickly leaves. Unexpected news. Clara slowly closes the
door. Jules and Verne look at her over their shoulders.
The class watches her quietly as she returns to her place.
She is visibly shaken by the telegraph.
CLARA
(reading) “The baron John-Lee Cromwell has just arrived
in town. And after a violent dipute with your father on the rights,
titles and goods of castle Edinburg. He has tricked him into a
pistol duel in 10 days, not far from town, At the road crossing
“The 7 hangmen”. The outcome will be tragic... seeing that your
father is nearsighted(Clara pauses to think about this past
phrase). He is so obstinate about being in this duel... I’m
sure it is a trap. You must come down, and convince him to
change his mind about this stupid duel!!! From: Mama Clayton”
Clara interrupts the class and lets the students leave early.
She then takes Jules and Verne by the hand without telling
them anything and leaves the school.
26. EXT. ON THE BROWN’S PROPERTY
Clara runs and walks intermittently and briskly towards her
property, dragging along her two sons who have trouble
keeping up with her. Out of breath and full of bitterness, she
calls out to Doc with a loud voice.
CLARA
Emmett!!!... Emmett!!!... Emmett!!!... He is going to kill
my father!!!
She stops momentarily to catch her breath and then
continues.
CLARA
We must do something... quickly!!
27. INT. HANGAR / WORKSHOP
Doc, who is reparing a “wind generator” in his hangar, stops
working and turns towards Clara. He is suprised to see her at
such an early hour and says.
DOC
Great Scott! what is going on here! Clara, back before
school is over... this must be serious??
He leaves the hangar.
28. EXT. BROWN’S PROPERTY
Doc runs up to her, taking big steps as he goes. With his
tools in his hands and his workbelt on his back he arrives in
little time. Clara, now in a near-panick state is having
problems catching her breath. When they meet, she fall to
her knees, sobbing, and sputters out with difficulty.
CLARA
He is going to kill my father!!... We must do something!...
He is... going... to kill...my father...!
Arriving next to her, Doc drops his tools that are still in his
hands and bends towards her, and asks in dismay and
exasperation.
DOC
Who... what... calm down, and explain yourself!! I can’t
understand a word you’re saying!!
After, he takes her by the shoulders and helps her up. Jules
and Verne, still dizzy from their mother’s mayday marathon,
and clueless to what is happening, attempt to shed some light
on the situation. Jules first, Verne next.
JULES
I don’t know what is the matter. After she read the telegram
she dismissed the whole class...
Verne follows in suit, saying excitedly.
VERNE
...then she grabbed us by the hand and ran back here... just
like a runaway locomotive!... she didn’t stop for a second...
It’s too bad we didn’t have your stopwatch, father!... She
probably beat one of our records!
Clara gives Doc the telegram and says, anguished.
CLARA
Read this Emmett, it’s awful!
DOC
But, this is insane!... We must stop this!... Quickly!(looking
at his watch!)... It is 11:10am... The train to Virginia City
arrives at the Hill Valley stat exactly one hour!... Clara, pack
the bags!... Jules!... ready the horse!... As for you Verne,
don’t forget to give Newton something to eat before we leave.
As for me I need to pack some... personal affairs... Then we’re
off to the station to buy our tickets... Hurrynow, we haven’t a
second to lose!
Doc returns to Clara , and tries to reassure her from this
troubling possibility.
DOC
Please, Clara, stop crying. If necessary, I will take care of this
“John-Lee Cromwell” myself, because I know your father would
die from this duel, and this would afflict you greatly. You know
that I love you more than anything else in this world, and I
couldn’t bear to see you sad and unhappy. I swear I will do
everything in my power to stop that from happening, you have
my word!
The family do everything they were supposed to and arrive
at the train on time.

En tout cas Michel, si ils cherchent à te concurrencer, je pense que tu peux te faire grave du souci en ce qui concerne la possibilité de voir ton scénar un jour adapté à l'écran! En effet, je pense qu'universal serait capable de faire BTTF new generation pour les nouveau teenagers en faisant une comédie à la american pie dans le futur

Ah oui, j'allais oublié lol. 
Mon roman est déjà annonçé dans la rubrique "ÉVÉNEMENTS" de ce même site, comme étant à venir pour août - septembre prochain. Voilà! Vous pouvez vérifier.
