She steps off stage after entertaining the Hill Valley Locals with her rendition of 'Earth Angel.'

Lorraine walks over to the Bar.

INT. LINDA MCFLY.

Cheerful.

INT. MARTY MCFLY

Emotional.

INT. JULES

Still applauding.

JULES

Bravo! Bravo!

Lorraine puffs. But, is warmed by the reception she recieved.

Linda is impressed.

LINDA

Grandma, that was beautiful.

MARTY

Maybe this new experience will stop you talking about the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance for a change.

Lorraine smiles and puts her finger to her lips as a hush.

INT. BAR TENDER CARRUTHERS.

A man in his later Fifties appears, father of Lou from 1955 appear behind the Bar.

He seems rather estastic. He speaks loudly to Lorraine.

CARRUTHERS

Oh my oh my Miss Presley. You have the voice of an Angel. Since you're not associated with of Irving Tannen any longer - How 'bout a Singing contract?

They all loved ya?

Lorraine feels awkward.

LORRAINE

Uh thank you sir. That's kind of you. I'm flattered. But a'

Lorraine grabs Marty by the scruff of his shirt and pulls him close.

LORRAINE

Mr Eastwood and I are engaged. We were just passing through town and Irving kidnapped me, so he could pretend I was his girlfriend, as revenge against my fiance, because of his father. We're moving on after tonight.

The Bar tender takes this in.

Marty is shocked. Lorraine looks to Marty for assurance.

LORRAINE

Isn't that right Cupcake?

Marty looks at Lorraine uncomfortably.

MARTY

Yeah - Mo - Lor -

Right.

(his eyes dart to Carruthers)

Sorry, yeah. We're moving on.

Carruthers holds his hands up feeling reluctant and disappointed.

CARRUTHERS

OK. But, voices like yours don't come by often.

Carruthers moves away.

Marty is stunned by Lorraines outburst. He gives her a stern look.

MARTY

What the hell was that all about?

LORRAINE

I didn't know what else to say.

MARTY

Have you ever heard of a simple word 'No?'

JULES

And Linda tells me, I'm Dramatic.

(interrupts)

Linda has disappeared from the Bar.

Marty and Lorraine look around for her.

Lorraine then spots her on the stage trying to instruct the Musicians.

Marty looks annoyed and uptight.

MARTY

What's she doing now?

LORRAINE

Taking after her Grand Mother.

INT. STAGE.

Linda finishes instructing.

LINDA

You got that?

One Musician starts to play the Contrebasse.

Linda starts clicking her fingers.

After a few beats, the intro starts to sound familiar.

Drums start to beat.

Linda starts shifting her shoulders.

The song is none other than Michael Jacksons 'Smooth Criminal.'

Linda starts tapping her and copies Michael Jacksons moves.

The Audience start getting into the beat.

The Pianist begins to play also.

Linda moves to the Microphone.

LINDA

'As he came into the Window

It was the sound of a Cresendo

He came into her apartment

He left the blood stains on the carpet

She ran underneath the table

He could see she was unable

So she ran into the bderoom

She was struck down, it was her doom'

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK

Are you OK, Annie...'

Marty and Lorraine freeze in shock, as they watch Linda follow in her

fathers footsteps. They glance at one another.

Linda continues with her fancy foot work.

Jules is impressed.

LORRAINE

Where did she learn to dance like that?

Marty awkwardly shrugs.

MARTY

Beats the shit out of me.

Linda gets to the Chorus.

She jumps of stage and flicks her hat and starts doing a few Moon Walks and fancy foot work.

The crowd get to their feet and applaud her.

LINDA

'Annie are you OK?

Will you tell us that you're okay?

There's a sound at the window

Then he struck you - a cresendo,

Annie

He came into your Apartment

Left the Bloodstains on the carpet

And then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down

It was your doom.'

Linda starts dancing with Guys at the Pool Table and does fancy tricks

with the Ball.

She then proceeds to continue her act up a Staircase, to an overview of the Main Bar.

Guys throw money at her and the public start to entertain themselves.

LINDA

'Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are uou OK? Are you OK Annie?

(repeated x3

You've been hit by -

You been struck by -

A Smooth Criminal.'

Linda is then sliding down a pole back into the main bar.

Lorraine and Marty cover their faces, feeling embarrassed.

It doesn't stop his daughter and the Floozy Bar guests. They too start get into the Moon Walk routine.

LINDA

'So they came into the outway

It was Sunday, what a black day

Everytime I tried to find him

There were no clues, they're behind him

And they end up never knowing

Who's the suspect or what to expect

Mouth - to - Mouth rescuscitation

Sounding heartbeats, intimidation.'

Carruthers also starts to get in the Party mood.

Jules seems mighty impressed. He taps Marty on the shoulder.

JULES

That's quite some moves she got there.

During the Instrumental stage.

Everybody is dancing on and around tables.

Then Linda takes centre stage in copying Michael Jacksons final dance moves for the song and everybody joins in.

LINDA

'Annie are you Okay?

Will you tell us that you're Okay.

There's a sound at the Window - a Cresendo

Annie

He came into your apartment

Left the bloodstains on the carpet.

So she ran into the bedroom

You were struck down

It was your doom

Linda then goes overboard and starts taking her coat off and underdoing her shirt straps.

She also starts kicking tables over, while tapping her feet and spinning around.

Eventually she starts getting out of breath and starts being clumsy and falling over into equipment.

She jumps back on stage and stumbles into the Drum Kit and the Drummer falls off his chair.

Trumpet players shift out of the way. Linda kicks out and her shoes flies off her feet and strikes a man in the face

knocking him down.

She stumbles againe and does one final spin.

LINDA

'You've been hit by -

You've been struck by -

A Smooth Criminal!'

THERE IS COMPLETE SILENCE.

EVERYBODY SITS AT THEIR TABLES STARING AT HER IN DISBELIEF.

ALL THE TABLES AND CHAIRS SEEM TO BE TIDELY IN THEIR PLACES.

IT SOON DAWNS ON LINDA, THAT THE AUDIENCE JOINING IN ON HER SONG AND DANCE VERSION OF 'SMOOTH CRIMINAL'

WAS A FANTASY.

Linda looks humiliated and picks up her Jacket. Marty and Lorraine hold their hands over their eyes feeling embarrassed.

Jules tries to contain himself - trying not to laugh.

Linda steps up to the microphone.

LINDA

I guess you guys ain't ready for that yet.

But, your Grandkids are gonna love it.
