Quotes8

  • Linda McFly: Then how am I supposed to ever meet anybody?
  • Lorraine Baines: Well, it'll just happen. Like the way I met your father.
  • Linda McFly: That was so stupid! Grandpa hit him with the car.
  • Lorraine Baines: [wistfully] It was meant to be.
  • Linda McFly: [having "originally" - before Marty went back in time and altered the past - complained about not being very popular socially] If Paul calls, tell him I'm working late at the boutique tonight.
  • Dave McFly: Linda, first of all, I'm not your answering service; second of all, somebody named Greg or Craig called you just a little while ago.
  • Linda McFly: Well, which one was it, Greg or Craig?
  • Dave McFly: [a little impatiently] I don't know! I can't keep up of all of your boyfriends!
  • Lorraine Baines: Anyway, your Grandpa hit him with the car and brought him into the house. He seemed so helpless, like a little lost puppy, and my heart just went out to him.
  • Linda McFly: Yeah, Mom, we know. You've told us this story a million times. You felt sorry for him, so you decided to go with him to the Fish Under the Sea dance.
  • Lorraine Baines: No, no. It was the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
  • Linda McFly: Hey, Marty. I'm not your answering service. While you were outside pouting over the car, Jennifer Parker called you twice.
  • Lorraine Baines: I don't like her, Marty. Any girl who calls up a boy is just asking for trouble.
  • Linda McFly: Oh, Mother, there's nothing wrong with calling a boy.
  • Lorraine Baines: I think it's terrible. Girls chasing boys! When I was your age, I never chased a boy or called a boy, or sat in a parked car with a boy.
  • Linda McFly: Oh, Marty, I almost forgot. Jennifer Parker called.
  • Lorraine Baines: Oh, I sure like her, Marty. She is such a sweet girl. Isn't tonight the night of the big date?
  • Marty McFly: What? What, Ma?
  • Lorraine Baines: Well, aren't you going up to the lake? You've been planning it for two weeks.
  • Marty McFly: Well, mom, we talked about this. I mean, how can I go to the lake? The car's wrecked.
  • George McFly: Wrecked?
  • Dave McFly: Wrecked?
  • Linda McFly: What happened to the car?
  • Dave McFly: When the hell did this happen?
  • George McFly: Quiet down. I'm sure the car is fine.
  • Dave McFly: Why am I always the last one to know about these things?
  • George McFly: [leading Marty to the front door] See? There's Biff out there waxing it right now.
  • Lorraine Baines: Kids, we're gonna have to eat this cake by ourselves. Your Uncle Joey didn't make parole again.
  • [drops the cake on the dining table. It reads "Welcome Home, Uncle Joey"]
  • Lorraine Baines: I think it would be nice if you all dropped him a line.
  • Marty McFly: Uncle "Jailbird" Joey?
  • Dave McFly: He's your brother, Mom.
  • Linda McFly: Yeah. I think it's a major embarrassment having an uncle in prison.
  • Lorraine Baines: We all make mistakes in life, children.
  • Marty McFly: [Marty has just woken up to a new and improved 1985, and sees his brother and sister well-dressed and sitting at the dinner table, eating breakfast]
  • Marty McFly: Hey. What the hell is this?
  • Linda McFly: Breakfast.
  • Linda McFly: How am I supposed to meet anyone?
