Back to the Future part V

Part 2

Thursday, October 22nd 2015. 8.20am

Scott is sitting under the statue of Gerald Strickland in the yard of the high school. Kids whizz past on hoverboards. Eric Wilson comes along to meet him.

ERIC

Yo, McFly. How's it hanging? Why didn't you meet me on the way to school this morning?

SCOTT

Oh, hi Eric. Sorry I had things on my mind.

ERIC

What are all these rumours about your brother flying round? Something to do with Griff Tannen...

SCOTT

Never mind, I'll tell you later.

ERIC

Anyway, I thought you'd disappeared through time. How did you get on with hunting down your time machine?

Scott gives Eric a dirty look.

ERIC

Hey, lighten up dude. It was a joke. I thought it was funny the way you actually thought you'd find a time machine. How did you get on with that Suzy girl? Are you still at each other's throats?

SCOTT

We're fine.

ERIC

Speak of the devil... Here she is.

Suzy arrives at school. She looks nervously at the strange futuristic looking things around her. Scott rushes over.

SCOTT

Suzy! Over here! Are you okay?

SUZY

This is really weird. I woke up this morning expecting everything to be back to normal, but it's all still so... space age! How did you get on at home?

SCOTT

Not good. Mom and Dad are really freaked out about Marty's arrest. Marlene is in pieces. I don't know what to do. Griff's father is mayor of Hill Valley. This is all so wrong. I'm just glad it's not all war torn like when Old Biff Tannen had the sports almanac. If only I could get Marty out of gaol. I think this alternate reality could be okay when we get used to it.

SUZY

I don't like it. It feels wrong. I got home last night to find everything is voice activated and things were floating around the house. My parents were just acting as if were all normal. It's freaking me out.

Suzy starts to cry.

SCOTT

Hey Suzy...

Scott puts his arm around Suzy to comfort her. Eric comes over.

ERIC

Woah McFly! You're a fast mover.

Scott pulls his arm back. Eric sees Suzy is upset.

ERIC

Hey what's up with her?

SUZY

It's nothing Eric.

Suzy whispers to Scott.

SUZY

I'll see you in the library at recess Scott.

Suzy walks away.
