Lorraine Baines Quotes in Back to the Future (1985)

Marty McFly: Calvin? Wh... Why do you keep calling me Calvin?

Lorraine Baines: Well, that is your name, isn't it? Calvin Klein? It's written all over your underwear.

[Marty wakes up in Lorraine's bed]

Marty McFly: Mom. That you?

Lorraine Baines: There, there, now. Just relax.

[pats a damp cloth on Marty's forehead]

Lorraine Baines: You've been asleep for almost nine hours now.

Marty McFly: I had a horrible nightmare. I dreamed that I went... back in time. It was terrible.

Lorraine Baines: Well, you're safe and sound now, back in good old 1955.

Marty McFly: [opens his eyes wide] 1955?

Marty McFly: [acting cool] Do you mind if we... park... for a while?

Lorraine Baines: That's a great idea. I'd love to park.

Marty McFly: Huh?

Lorraine Baines: Marty, I'm almost 18 years old. It's not like I've never parked before.

Marty McFly: What?

Lorraine Baines: Marty, you seem so nervous. Is something wrong?

Marty McFly: [trying to maintain composure] No. No.

[Lorraine takes a sip from a liquor bottle]

Marty McFly: [grabbing the bottle from Lorraine] Lorraine! Lorraine, what are you doing?

Lorraine Baines: [starting to laugh] I swiped it from the old lady's liquor cabinet.

Marty McFly: Yeah, well, you shouldn't drink.

Lorraine Baines: Why not?

Marty McFly: Because you... You might regret it later in life.

Lorraine Baines: Marty, don't be such a square. Everybody who's anybody drinks.

[Marty takes a sip from Lorraine's bottle then spit-takes as he notices Lorraine lighting a cigarette]

Marty McFly: [nauseatingly] Jeez! You smoke, too?

Lorraine Baines: Marty, you're beginning to sound just like my mother.

George McFly: Lorraine. My density has brought me to you.

Lorraine Baines: What?

George McFly: Oh. What I meant to say was...

Lorraine Baines: Wait a minute. Don't I know you from somewhere?

George McFly: Yes. Yes. I'm George. George McFly. I'm your density. I mean, your destiny.

Lorraine Baines: Kids, we're gonna have to eat this cake by ourselves. Your Uncle Joey didn't make parole again.

[drops the cake on the dining table. It reads "Welcome Home, Uncle Joey"]

Lorraine Baines: I think it would be nice if you all dropped him a line.

Marty McFly: Uncle "Jailbird" Joey?

Dave McFly: He's your brother, Mom.

Linda McFly: Yeah. I think it's a major embarrassment having an uncle in prison.

Lorraine Baines: We all make mistakes in life, children.

Biff Tannen: Mr. McFly! Mr. McFly, this just arrived. Oh, hi, Marty. I think it's your new book.

Lorraine Baines: Oh, honey! Your first novel.

George McFly: Like I've always told you, you put your mind to it, you can accomplish *anything*.

Biff Tannen: Oh, Marty. Marty, here's your keys. You're all waxed up, ready for tonight.

Marty McFly: Keys?

Lorraine Baines: Marty? Why are you so nervous?

Marty McFly: Lorraine. Have you ever been in a situation where you knew you had to act a certain way, but when you got there, you didn't know if you could go through with it?

Lorraine Baines: You mean like how you're supposed to act on a first date?

Marty McFly: [stammering] Sort of.

Lorraine Baines: I think I know exactly what you mean. You know what I do in those situations?

Marty McFly: You do? What?

Lorraine Baines: I don't worry.

[kisses him hard]

Lorraine Baines: [Lorraine stops and pulls back, Marty is freaking out]

Lorraine Baines: This is all wrong. I don't know what it is. But when I kiss you, it's like I'm kissing... my brother. I guess that doesn't make any sense, does it?

Marty McFly: Believe me, it makes perfect sense.

Lorraine Baines: Marty, will we ever see you again?

Marty McFly: I guarantee it.

Lorraine Baines: Anyway, your Grandpa hit him with the car and brought him into the house. He seemed so helpless, like a little lost puppy, and my heart just went out to him.

Linda McFly: Yeah, Mom, we know. You've told us this story a million times. You felt sorry for him, so you decided to go with him to the Fish Under the Sea dance.

Lorraine Baines: No, no. It was the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

Lorraine Baines: It's our first television set. Dad just picked it up today. Do you have a television?

Marty McFly: Well, yeah. You know we have... two of them.

Milton Baines: Wow! You must be rich.

Stella Baines: Oh, honey, he's teasing you. Nobody has two television sets.

Lorraine Baines: I've never seen purple underwear before!

Linda McFly: Then how am I supposed to ever meet anybody?

Lorraine Baines: Well, it'll just happen. Like the way I met your father.

Linda McFly: That was so stupid! Grandpa hit him with the car.

Lorraine Baines: [wistfully] It was meant to be.

Marty McFly: Where are my pants?

Lorraine Baines: Over there, on my hope chest.

[Biff is waxing George's car, it's a silver BMW]

George McFly: Now, Biff, I want to make sure that we get two coats of wax this time, not just one.

Biff Tannen: I'm just finishing up the second coat now.

George McFly: Now, Biff, don't con me.

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

George McFly: Biff. What a character. Always trying to get away with something. I've had to stay on top of Biff ever since high school. Although, if it wasn't for him...

Lorraine Baines: We never would have fallen in love.

George McFly: That's right.

Lorraine Baines: I think we need a rematch.

George McFly: Oh, a rematch. Why? Were you cheating?

Lorraine Baines: No. Good morning

George McFly: Hello.

[Marty collapses onto the floor]

Biff Tannen: Hold on one second. Let's get this straight. Marty is *your* kid, not mine. And all the money in the world wouldn't do jack shit for that lazy bum!

Lorraine Baines: Stop it, Biff, just stop it!

Biff Tannen: Look at him. He's a butthead just like his old man was.

Lorraine Baines: Don't you dare speak that way about George! You're not even half the man he was.

[Biff throws her on the floor]

Lorraine Baines: Dammit Biff, that's it. I'm leaving!

Biff Tannen: Oh, so go ahead. But think about this Lorraine, who's gonna pay for all your clothes, huh? And your jewelry, and your liquor? Who's gonna pay for your cosmetic surgery Lorraine?

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: Alright Biff, you win. I'll stay.

Biff Tannen: [to Marty] As for you, I'll be back up here in an hour, so you better not be!

Lorraine Baines: Biff, somebody already asked me to the dance.

Biff Tannen: Who? That bug George McFly?

Lorraine Baines: I'm going with Calvin Klein, okay?

Biff Tannen: Calvin Klein? No, it's not okay!

Lorraine Baines: Biff Tannen, I wouldn't be your girl even if - even if you had a million dollars.

Lorraine Baines: [frowns at a stuttering Marty] Are you all right?

Marty McFly: [stares at his mother's obviously enlarged breasts] I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just that you're so... you're so... big.

Marty McFly: I had a horrible nightmare. It was terrible.

Lorraine Baines: Well, you're safe and sound now. Back on the good old 27th floor.

Marty McFly: 27th floor?

Biff Tannen: You're supposed to be in Switzerland, you little son of a bitch!

Marty McFly: My father?

Biff Tannen: Did you get kicked out of another boarding school? Damn it, Lorraine, do you know how much perfectly good dough I blow on this no-good kid of yours, huh? On all three of them!

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!
