Sunday, October 25th, 1925, 8.35am.
The next morning, Scott leaves the side door of the bar wearing 1920s clothes. He fiddles with the collar, as he feels uncomfortable in it. He heads across Courthouse Square and
notices he isn’t being stared at like before in his 2015 clothes.
SCOTT
Where the hell is Suzy? I'd better head on over to Hilldale.
Scott looks around the square.
SCOTT
Where the Hell can I get a cab in this place?
Scott makes it to the area where Hilldale will be built in about 60 years. There is a road, but there are no buildings to be seen. He looks around trying to work out where he is in relation to where they arrived from the future. He sees tyre marks on the road, but no DeLorean or
Suzy. He climbs up a fence and looks round trying to see if he can see them, but to no joy.
SCOTT
What am I going to do now? What would Dad have done?
Scott thinks for a moment.
SCOTT
The Doc! I need to find the Doc!
Scott returns to Courthouse Square and heads back the bar. Before he can enter he meets Joseph who is cleaning the windows. His son, Sam, aged 15, is slouching at the bottom of the ladder.
JOSEPH
Good morning Mr. Chaplin, you were up early this morning. How are the clothes? Do they fit okay?
SCOTT
They're fine thanks. Hey, do you know of a family called Brown who lives around here? I’m looking for an Emmett Brown.
JOSEPH
Brown? I’m not sure I do, sorry.
SAM
I know Emmett Brown.
SCOTT
You know him? Do you know where he lives? I need to speak with him.
SAM
Sure, Emmett Brown lives at 1640 Riverside Drive. It’s a lovely big house with a big drive sweeping up to it.
SCOTT
Thanks pal.
Scott rushes away down the road. He stops and turns back and calls back.
SCOTT
Where’s Riverside Drive?
JOSEPH
Other end of town, block past Maple.
SCOTT
Okay thanks.
JOSEPH
Will we be seeing you in church this morning Mr Chaplin?
SCOTT
Erm, maybe…
Scott rushes off again and mutters to himself.
SCOTT
Block past Maple? That’s John F Kennedy drive.
Scott rushes around the corner of Maple Drive. He trips over a girl tying her shoelace.
SCOTT
Sorry, sorry, are you okay?
The girl is Suzy dressed in 1920s clothing.
SUZY
Watch where you’re going.
Scott realises it’s Suzy.
SCOTT
Woah! Look at you!
Suzy recognises Scott.
SUZY
Scott! There you are. Where did you go? I’ve been worried sick.
SCOTT
Not half as worried as I’ve been.
SUZY
You did a runner from the hospital. I went to check up on you and you’d gone.
Suzy bursts into tears.
SUZY
I didn’t know what to do. I wish we’d never gotten into that car.
