    Biff Tannen: What, are you blind, McFly? It's there. How else do you explain that wreck out there?

    George McFly: Biff, can I- Can I assume that your, uh, insurance is gonna pay for the damage?

    Biff Tannen: [stammering] I'm sorry, Mr. McFly. I-I meant I was just starting on the second coat.

    Lorraine Baines: You were the one who wanted me to get these-these things! If you want 'em back, you can have em.

    Biff Tannen: Look, Lorraine, you walk out that door and I won't only cut off you, I'll cut off your kids.

    Lorraine Baines: You wouldn't!

    Biff Tannen: Oh, wouldn't I? First, your daughter Linda, I'll cancel all her credit cards. She can settle her debts with the bank all by herself. Your idiot son Dave? I'll get his probation revoked. And as for Marty, well maybe you'd like to have all three of your kids behind bars just like your brother Joey. One big happy jailbird family.

    Lorraine Baines: What the hell do you care? We can afford it! The least we can do with all that money is provide a better life for our children!
