Back to the Future part V

Part 6

Date ????

Country lane. Another three sonic booms are heard; the DeLorean appears and brakes to a halt. It's covered in ice.

Inside the DeLorean, Scott, Suzy and Eric ponder their surroundings.

SUZY

So did we make it then?

Eric is desperate to see where they are.

ERIC

Let's get out and have a look then.

Eric pushes his way out of the cramped DeLorean. Scott and Suzy follow. Eric closes the doors behind them. They are parked near a bushed area next to a park with tents in. There are people in the distance with long hair and wearing colourful clothes.

SUZY

Hippies? This doesn't much look like 1985. Scott, when were hippies about?

SCOTT

The nineteen-sixties. My parents were born when hippies were about.

Eric heads towards the tents.

SCOTT

Where are you going? We've come to the wrong year. I don't know how though, I made sure I put in the correct date.

ERIC

Come on Scotty, don't be a wuss. This looks like a great place to check out. Where's your sense of adventure?

SCOTT

Eric?

ERIC

What's up?

SCOTT

You were alone in the DeLorean whilst we put the plutonium in? You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with this do you?

ERIC

Come on, we can go to boring old 1985 in a bit. We've got all the time in the world. Let's check out somewhere with a bit more kick first.

SUZY

It's a time machine Eric, not a toy. Have you ever stopped to wonder what can happen if you screw up events in history?

ERIC

Yeah, I've seen the Outer Limits, Doctor Who and other TV shows on that sort of stuff. Quite frightening isn't it? That's why I chose to come here...

SCOTT

You idiot Eric, we're risking it enough by going to 1985 to sort out events already messed up.

Eric gets annoyed.

ERIC

Don't call me an idiot.

Scott fronts up to Eric.

SCOTT

Well you are an idiot. I want a home to go to. What will you do if when we get home and you find out you don't even exist?

Eric, annoyed that Scott is in his face, pushes him.

ERIC

Well that's not going to happen is it?

Scott gets angry and pushes Eric harder.

SCOTT

You don't get it do you? When I first went back to 1985 with Suzy, we ran into Griff Tannen's dad, so we decided to come back home. If I hadn't changed my mind last minute and change the dates on the display we wouldn't have gone back to 1925 in the first place and...
