Marty, the future isn't written. It can be changed... you know that. Anyone can make their future whatever they want it to be.
If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.
Come on, Doc, it's not science. When it happens, it just hits you. It's like lightning!
Time traveling is just too dangerous. Better that I devote myself to study the other great mystery of the universe: Women!
You future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you!

Lou Caruthers: "A colored mayor. That'll be the day."

Sam Baines: "Lorraine, you ever have a kid who acts that way, I'll disown you."

Buck: "Take a gander at them moccasins. What kind of skins is them?"
Stubble: "What's that writin' mean? 'Neekay'? What is that? Some sort of Injun talk or somethin'?"

Marty, you can't go losing your judgment every time someone calls you a name. That's exactly what causes you to get into that accident in the future.

This reminds me of the time I attempted to reach the center of the earth. I'd been reading my favorite author, Jules Verne. I spent weeks preparing that expedition. I didn't even get this far. Course, I was only 12 at the time.
I didn't invent the time machine for financial gain! The intent here is to gain a clearer perception of humanity. Where we've been, where we're going, the pitfalls and the possibilities, the perils and the promise. Perhaps even an answer to that universal question, "Why?"

Dr. Emmett Brown: "Back to the future!"

Marty McFly: "Believe me, it makes perfect sense."
Marty McFly: "Believe me, it makes perfect sense."
Marty, I'm almost 18-years-old. It's not like I've never parked before.
