- S. S. Strickland: Who?
- Marty McFly: [terrified] Marty McFly! Marty McFly! Don't you know me, sir? From school, sir!
- S. S. Strickland: I've never seen you before in my life, but you look to me like a slacker!
- Marty McFly: Yeah! That's right! That's right, I am a slacker! Don't you remember, you gave me detention last week!
- S. S. Strickland: Last week? The school burned down six years ago! Now you got exactly three seconds to get off my porch with your nuts intact! One!
