Cousin's in Time

October 25, 1985

8:25 a.m.

(We are at Doctor Emmet Brown's garage. There are several clocks and two newspaper clippings of the Brown mansion burning down. The equipment is on and the television goes on.)

Reporter: And the authorities are denying that there is a thief of plutonium at their plants….

(Just then, the door opens and Marty is there.)

Marty: Doc? Yo, Doc. Are you here? Einstein, here boy! (He looks down and sees the split dog food.) I'm not cleaning that up…. (He plugs into the amp and only plays one note, causing a short circuit. He is forced into the bookcase. He looks and sees the amp is destroyed.) *Sacarism in his voice* Rock on. (The phone rings, he struggles out the shambles, and he answers the phone.) Yo!

Doc's voice: Marty, is that you?

Marty: Yeah, Doc. Where have you been all week?

Doc's voice: Working.

Marty: Is Einstein with you?

Doc's voice: Yeah, he's right here.

Marty: Oh, Doc. You've left your equipment on all week.

Doc's voice: My equipment? That reminds me, Marty. You better not plug into the amp because there is a slight possibility of overload.

Marty: 'Now you tell me.' I'll remember that, Doc.

Doc's voice: Marty, I'm on the verge of a breakthrough and I'm going to need your and Annie's assistance. Can you two meet me at Twin Pines Mall at 1:15 a.m. tomorrow morning?

Marty: 1:15? Why the hell so early?

Doc's voice: I'll explain later. Just don't forget! (The clocks go off.) (He yells.) Are those my clocks I hear?

Marty: (He yells.) Yeah, they all say 8 o'clock!

Doc's voice: (He yells.) Perfect! My experiment worked! They are all twenty five minutes slow!

Marty: (He yells.) Wait a minute, Doc! Are you telling me that it is 8:25?

Doc's voice: Precisely!

Marty: Damn! I'm late for school!

(Marty hangs up on Doc and takes off. He skateboards to school.)
