Back to the Future Part III train scene

Transcript

Clara: Hiyah! She starts moving again.

Scene: Inside the DeLorean. Marty is in the car, which is hooked up to


the front of the train. Doc is in the front of the train.

The train whistle blows.

Marty, into walkie-talkie: Ready to roll!

There is a shot of Clara following them. She can see them now, but they
cannot see her.

Clara: EMMETT!

Doc, into walkie-talkie: Marty. are the time circuits on?

Marty, into walkie-talkie: Check, Doc.

Doc, into walkie-talkie: Input the destination time - October 27, 1985,
11 AM.

Marty punches this information into the keypad.

Marty, into walkie-talkie: We're cruising at a steady 25 miles an hour,


Doc.

Doc, into walkie-talkie: I'm throwing in the Presto Logs.

He throws the logs into the fire, one by one.

Doc, into walkie-talkie: Marty, the new gauge will show the boiler
temperature. Inside the DeLorean Marty looks at the new device Doc has
installed. The color coding indicates when each log will fire. Green,
yellow, and red. Each detonation will be accompanied by a sudden burst
of acceleration. Hopefully we'll get up to 88 miles per hour before the
needle hits two thousand.

Marty, into walkie-talkie: Right, what happens what it hits two


thousand?

Clara has meanwhile caught up with the end of the train.

Doc, into walkie-talkie: The whole motor will explode.

Marty, into walkie-talkie: Perfect.

Clara gets off her horse and climbs onto the end of the train.

Marty, into walkie-talkie: Hey, Doc, we just hit 35!

Doc, into walkie-talkie: Okay, Marty, I'm coming aboard! He has begun
climbing to the front of the train, where the DeLorean and the
locomotive are connected.

Clara: Emmett!

Marty, staring at speedometer talking to himself: Come on, come on. He


suddenly screams into the walkie-talkie. You better hold on to
something, Doc, the yellow log's about to blow!!!

There is a gigantic explosion and Clara is shown, stunned, as she was


thrown back a little on the car she was climbing on.

Clara: Ahh! And, as the wind blows in her face, Golly.

Marty, into walkie-talkie: We just passed 40!

Clara, who has climbed into the driver's seat of the locomotive:
Emmett! Emmett! Emmett!

Marty, into walkie-talkie: He swings open the gull-wing door and shouts
into the walkie-talkie while he openly looks at Doc for the first time.
We just passed 45, Doc, go for it! He looks at the speedometer and
mutters. Fifty.

The train whistle blows. This stuns both Marty and Doc, because they
both think no one is on the train but them and Marty knows Doc is no
longer in the driver's seat. Doc turns.

Clara: Emmett!

Doc: He nearly screams with delight. Clara!

Clara: She shrugs and shouts in the din. I love you.

Marty, into walkie-talkie: Doc, Doc! What's happening??

Doc, into walkie-talkie: It's Clara, she's on the train!
