Young Doc Quotes in Back to the Future Part III (1990)

[in a Drive-In, in 1955. The theater screen shows a still picture of a group of Native Americans riding horse in a desert]

Young Doc: All you have to do is drive the time vehicle directly toward that screen accelerating to 88 miles an hour.

Marty McFly: Wait a minute, Doc. If I drive straight towards the screen, I'm gonna crash into those Indians.

Young Doc: Marty, you're not thinking fourth dimensionally. You'll instantly be transported back into 1885, and those Indians won't even be there.

Marty McFly: Right.

Young Doc: Well, good luck for both our sakes. See you in the future.

Marty McFly: You mean the past?

Young Doc: Exactly!

[after a few minutes, when he uses the DeLorean and lands in 1885... an actual group of Native Americans is literally running towards his location]

Young Doc: [shouting frantically]

Marty McFly: Uhhhhh... Indians!

[Marty is left-behind back in 1955, with the young Doc of then as his only hope to getting back to the future]

Marty McFly: I'm sorry, Doc. It's all my fault you're stuck back there. I never should have let Biff get to me!

Young Doc: Well, there are plenty worse places to be than the Old West. I could've ended up in the Dark Ages. They probably would have burned me at the stake as a heretic or something.

[Marty McFly just found a tombstone with Emmett Brown's name]

Marty McFly: Doc! Doc! Come here quick!

Young Doc: What's wrong, Marty? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Marty McFly: You're not far off, Doc.

Young Doc: Remember, where you're going, there are no roads.

Young Doc: No wonder this circuit failed. It says "Made in Japan".

Marty McFly: What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan.

Young Doc: Unbelievable.

Young Doc: [while exploring the cave that holds the DeLorean in it] This reminds me of the time I attempted to reach the center of the earth. I'd be reading my favorite author, Jules Verne. I spent weeks preparing that expedition, I didn't even get this far. Of course, I was only 12 at the time. You know, it was the writings of Jules Verne that had a profound effect on my life. It was when I was 11 that I first read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It was then that I realized that I must devote my life to science.

Young Doc: Well, good luck for both of our sakes. See you in the future.

Marty McFly: You mean the past.

Young Doc: Exactly!

[Marty is still wearing his 1985 shoes]

Young Doc: Marty, you have to wear the boots. You can't wear those futuristic things back in 1885. You shouldn't even be wearing them here in 1955.

Marty McFly: Alright, Doc. Look, as soon I get there, I'll put them on. I promise.

[reading his own gravestone in 1955]

Young Doc: "Shot in the back by Buford Tannen, over a matter of eighty dollars." What kind of a future do you call that?

Marty McFly: [reading the gravestone of Doc's future self] "Erected in eternal memory by his beloved Clara."

Marty McFly: [he turns to face Doc, inadvertently standing on the grave] Who the hell is Clara?

Young Doc: [shouts] Marty, please, don't stand there!

[first lines]

Marty McFly: Doc! Doc! Doc!

Young Doc: [not paying attention] What?

Marty McFly: Doc!

Young Doc: What?

Marty McFly: Doc!

Young Doc: [finally seeing him] Aaaah!

Marty McFly: Okay, relax, Doc, it's me! It's me, It's Marty!

Young Doc: No, it can't be! I just sent you back to the future!

Marty McFly: Oh, I know you did send me back to the future. But I'm back, I'm back *from* the future.

Young Doc: Great Ssscott!

[last lines]

Young Doc: No! It can't be; I just sent you back to the future!

Marty McFly: No, I know; you *did* send me back to the future. But I'm back - I'm back *from* the future.

Young Doc: Great Scott!

[Doc faints]

Marty McFly: Doc! Doc! Doc! Oh, fantastic.

Young Doc: Nice talking to you. Maybe we'll bump into each other sometime again in the future.

Older Doc: Or in the past.
