Quotes from Michael J. Fox movies and TV shows - page 2 of 5

Doc: The only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning.
Marty: What?
Doc: A bolt of lightning! Unfortunately, you never know when or where it's ever going to strike!
[Marty holds out the "Save the Clock Tower" flyer.]
Marty: We do now.

Marty: Jeez, Doc. You disintegrated Einstein!
Doc: Don't worry, Marty. Einstein is perfectly fine.
Marty: Well then where the hell is he?
Doc: I think the appropriate term is WHEN the hell is he.

Marty McFly: Jesus, George, it was a wonder I was even born.

Lou: You gonna order something, kid?
Marty McFly: Ah, yeah... Give me a Tab.

Marty McFly: All right, give me a Pepsi Free.
Lou: You want a Pepsi, pal, you're gonna pay for it.

Marty McFly: Silence, earthling! My name is Darth Vader. I'm an extra-terrestrial from the planet Vulcan!

Biff: Go ahead, kid. Jump. A suicide will be nice and neat.
Marty: What if I don't?
Biff: [raising gun] Lead poisoning.
Marty: What about the police, Biff? They're gonna match up the bullet with that gun.
Biff: Kid, I own the police. Besides, they couldn't match up the bullet that killed your old man.
Marty: You son of a...
[Biff pulls back on the gun's hammer.]
Biff: Suppose it's poetic justice. Two McFlys with the same gun.

Marty: You're not going to believe this. We have to go back to 1955.
Doc: I don't believe it!

Marty: Nobody calls me chicken.

Biff: Oh! Nice dress, Lorraine. Although, I think you'd look better wearing nothing at all.
Lorraine: Biff, why don't you take a long walk off a short pier?
Biff: Hey listen, Lorraine. Now that I got my car all fixed up I figured I cut you a break and give you the honor of going with the best looking guy in school.
Lorraine: Yeah, well, I'm busy.
Biff: Oh, yeah? Doing what?
Lorraine: Washing my hair.
Biff: Oh, that's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.
Marty: Screen door on a submarine, you dork.

Marty: That's right, Doc. November 12,1955.
Doc: Unbelievable, that old Biff could have chosen that particular date. It could mean that that point in time inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance. Almost as if it were the junction point for the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence.

Marty: I don't get it, Doc. I mean, how can all this be happening? It's like we're in Hell or something.
Doc: No, it's Hill Valley. Although I can't imagine Hell being much worse!

Marty: [Arriving in 1955.] Oh, this is heavy, Doc. I mean, it's like I was just here yesterday.
Doc: You were here yesterday, Marty.

Marty: You mean I'm going to see where I live? I'm going to see myself as an old man?
Doc: No, no, no, Marty, that could result in a...[gasps]. Great Scott! Jennifer could conceivably encounter her future self! The consequences of that could be disastrous.
Marty: Doc, what do you mean?
Doc: I foresee two possibilities. One, coming face-to-face with herself 30 years older would put her in shock and she'd simply pass out. Or two, the encounter could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's a worse-case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy.
Marty: Well, that's a relief.

Doc: No, it can't be. I just sent you back to the future.
Marty: Yeah, oh I know. You did send me back to the future. But I'm back, I'm back from the future.
Doc: Great Scott!

Western Union Man: Kid, you need any help?
Marty: There's only one man who can help me.

Doc: Marty, the idea that I could fall in love at first sight! It's romantic nonsense. There's no scientific rationale for it.
Marty: Come on, Doc. It's not science. You meet the right girl it just hits you. It's like lightning.
Doc: Marty, please don't say that.

Doc: Marty, you're not thinking fourth-dimensionally!
Marty: Yeah, right, I have a real problem with that.

Marty: Clara Clayton was supposed to die in the ravine. All the teachers tell the kids a story about a schoolteacher named Clayton who died in the ravine, and all the kids in town remember it because they all have a teacher they'd like to fall in the ravine.

Marty McFly: Listen, you got a back door to this place?
Bartender: Yeah, it's in the back.
