A BTTF: TAS Teaser

Disclaimer: I don't own BTTF. Well, actually, I do own a lot of BTTF stuff, but not the actual movie.

Note: I know The Animated Series did a Christmas episode, but this is just a little holiday teaser they might have done once.

(Far shot of the DeLorean speeding along the Skyway alone. Switch to a through-the-windshield shot. Doc is in the driver's seat, in his usual and the driving glasses seen in Part II. Marty is next to him, looking relieved.)

MARTY: (looking at Doc) I'm glad we got this over with.

(Side shot of Doc driving. We can see part of the time display.)

DOC: (nodding) Me too. It took a trip to the past, and one to the future, but we got all of our Christmas shopping done. (He chuckles.) I invent a time machine to study the different time periods, and I end up using it for my holiday needs.

(Cut to a side shot of Marty.)

MARTY: Hey, I don't think it's so bad. Considering all the messes we've gotten into using this thing, it was nice to have a time trip where nothing went wrong.

DOC: (laughing) You're right there, Marty.

(There is a sudden "beep-beep" from behind the DeLorean. Marty turns around. Switch to his point of view. It's a little foggy, so we only see a general shape, fronted by a red light.)

MARTY: Hey, Doc, I think some guy's trying to pass us.

(Cut to side shot of the DeLorean. It moves over to let the mysterious object by. Move to Doc, who looks out his window at the object.)

DOC: (yelling to the other driver) Sorry! I thought I was the only one on the road!

(Switch to Doc's point of view. The vehicle moves into view. We can see now it's a sleigh, being pulled by nine reindeer! A man in red – Santa, who else? – sits in the "driver's seat." Cut back to Doc, who yanks off his glasses, eyes going wide with shock, jaw dropping open. Move over to Marty, who looks over Doc's shoulder and has a similar reaction.)

MARTY: Holy shit! This is heavy!

DOC: Great Scott!

(Move back to Santa, who waves at them.)

SANTA: Ho ho ho, that's all right! I'm not in a hurry yet! Merry Christmas Dr. Brown, Marty!

(He turns and shakes the reins. The sleigh flies out of sight. Cut to inside the DeLorean. Doc and Marty stare after the sleigh for a moment. Then Doc slowly turns to stare at Marty, still shocked.)

DOC: Was that –?

(Marty can only shrug. Both turn to look at audience.)

DOC AND MARTY: (shrugging and smiling) HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYBODY!
