Hill Valley, California
7:30 AM
Marty is sleeping until his alarm wakes up for school so he hits the alarm, changes clothes, and walks down to the table for breakfast.
Lorraine: Morning Marty.
Marty: Morning mom, morning dad, morning Linda, morning Dave.
All: Morning Marty!
Dave: you ready for your auditions after school today?
Marty: You know I am Dave? How about you? You ready for trying to get that promotion from Legal Assistant to Legal Coordinator?
Dave: I am but it will take me about a week or two to see if I get promoted or not. But I'm confident I'll get it as long as I work hard and put my mind to it. You can too Marty.
Linda: Yeah Marty, don't let anything get to you this time.
Marty: Thanks for the encouragement guys.
Lorraine: Plus you're still planning on going with Jennifer to the lake this weekend right?
Marty: Of course ma, I've been planning it for two weeks.
George: Biff will be over here tomorrow morning to wash your truck before the date.
Linda: What about my car.
George: He's doing that today Linda.
Linda: Good. Make sure he puts two coats of wax on it, not just one.
Dave: Make sure he does the same for mine as well.
Marty: I gotta go pick up Jennifer for school. See you all later.
All: Later!
(Marty and Jennifer arrive at school in his truck and Needles starts to antagonize him)
Needles: Hey! The big M! How's it hangin' McFly?
Marty: What is it this time Needles? I don't got time for this so talk to you later.
Needles: Why? Chicken?
Strickland: Don't even start it Needles or else you and McFly will end up in detention again! You understand slacker?
Needles: Yeah whatever Strickland now get out of my sight.
Strickland: You got a real attitude problem, you know that Needles just watch it! Cuz one day I'll have right where I want you. Whether it's suspension, expulsion, or worse being a super senior next year! So if I were you I'd get that attitude in check! (walks away as the bell rings)
(After school Marty and Jennifer go the gym for the band auditions)
Strickland: Well McFly. Looks like you and your band are auditioning to play at the dance. Good luck with that.
Marty: Hopefully it works out.
Strickland: It'll work out. You stand as much of a chance as your dad did back in 1955. He changed from a slacker to a non-slacker, so give it your best and don't give up. Oh, and tell him I'm looking forward to his first novel once it comes out.
Auditions Judge: Next please.
Marty: Alright we're the uh, we're The Pinheads.
Band member: One, two, three, four (plays hard version of Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News)
Auditions Judge: Ok thank you fellas. Thank you fellas. Hold it. Hold it fellas. I'm afraid you're just too darn loud. Next please. Next group please.
Needles: Ha! Ha! You're such a little tiny chicken!
Marty: I am not a chicken Needles!
Needles: Then prove it!
Marty: By doing what?!
Needles: Splashing water behind the judges!
Marty: Ok I'll do it!
Jennifer: Marty no!
Marty: (splashes water behind the judges) Ha! Take that for criticizing us for being loud! That's the way rock music is supposed to be!
Strickland: Detention all day Monday McFly and Needles!
Election Van: Re-elect Mayor Goldie Wilson. Progress is his middle name.
Marty: I'm too loud. I can't believe it. I'm never gonna get a chance to play in front of anybody.
Jennifer: Marty, one rejection isn't the end of the world.
Marty: Nah, I just don't think I'm cut out for music.
Jennifer: But you're good, Marty, you're really good. And this audition tape of your is great, you gotta send it in to the record company. It's like your Dad's always saying.
Marty: Yeah I know, If you put your mind to it you could accomplish anything.
Jennifer: That's good advice, Marty.
Marty: Alright, okay Jennifer. What if I send in the tape and they don't like it. I mean, what if they say I'm no good. What if they say, "Get out of here, kid, you got no future." I mean, I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection.
Jennifer: C'mon, you can handle one rejection. It won't hurt your future.
Marty: I guess your right. Anyways, looking forward to our date to the lake this weekend?
.Jennifer: Absolutely! It's going to be the best date ever!
Woman: Save the clock tower, save the clock tower. Mayor Wilson is sponsoring an initiative to replace that clock. Thirty years ago, lightning struck that clock tower and the clock hasn't run since. We at the Hill Valley Preservation Society think it should be preserved exactly the way it is as part of our history and heritage.
Marty: Here you go, lady. There's a quarter.
Woman: Thank you, don't forget to take a flyer.
Marty: Right.
Woman: Save the clock tower.
Marty: Where were we.
Jennifer: Right about here.
Jennifer's Dad: Jennifer.
Jennifer: It's my dad.
Marty: Right.
Jennifer: I've gotta go.
Marty: I'll call you tonight.
Jennifer: I'll be at my grandma's. Here, let me give you the number. Bye.
(Marty skateboards to his house and George has a party for his new novel "A Match Made In Space" being released)
Marty: Wow! Lots of cars out here! I wonder why? (Goes into house) I forgot dad was having a party for his upcoming book.
Biff: Hey Marty! How did the auditions go?
Marty: They said we were too loud!
Biff: Well try better next time. (Marty walks into his room until dinner)
(At the dinner table)
Lorraine: So Marty, how did the auditions go?
Marty: It went terrible! They said we were to darn loud! Rock music is supposed to be loud for Pete's sake!
Lorraine: Well I'm sorry honey. Don't let this one rejection cause you to give up. Your father was rejected seven times for his short stories, but on the eighth one he finally was accepted for being a wonderful and creative author.
George: Yes I certainly was. Oh, and Marty we also got a call from Mr. Strickland saying you were pressured into another chicken dare by splashing water behind the audition judges for being rejected which gave you detention all day Monday. When are you ever going to work out your problem with being called chicken?
Dave: Yeah Marty. The more you let this chicken thing get to you, the worser your future will be. You can't let people get you into doing stupid and bad things just because you were called a foolish name.
Linda: It can eventually cause you to give up on some of your future dreams. Or worse, it could get you murdered or drive you to suicide.
Marty: I've been trying but these things just get to me. It will never stop. Ever.
Linda: Before I forget to tell you Marty, Jennifer Parker tried calling you.
Lorraine: She's the sweetest girl I've ever met. I'm happy for you two going to the lake this weekend.
Dave: And another thing Marty, Doc Brown tried calling you just a while ago and he wants you to call him back immediately after dinner.
George: What is Doc doing these days?
Marty: He's been out of town all week, I don't know what he's doing. Probably finding and researching new inventions.
George: Hopefully his next one is a success.
Marty: Of course it will. Many of his inventions have been successful after 1955. He even got commended back in 1983. Besides like you always say "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything".
George: That's right.
Marty: (calls Doc) Wonder if Doc has any new experiments planned.
Doc: (answers phone) Hello?
Marty: Hey Doc, it's Marty.
Doc: Marty, thank God you called. Listen, I made a major breakthrough and I need your assistance. I need you to meet me at Lone Pine Mall at 1:15.
Marty: 1:15 in the morning?
Doc: Yeah
Marty: Doc, what's going on? Where you've been all week?
Doc: Working
Marty: Where's Einstein? Is he with you?
Doc: Yeah he's right here.
Marty: Why 1:15 in the morning at the mall?
Doc: You'll find out once you get there.
Marty: Ok, I'll see you then.
Doc: You too bye (hangs up)
