Back to the Future Part II

"[about to throw out the almanac] The Skyway's jammed. It's gonna take us forever to get there. And this stays here. I didn't invent the time machine to win at gambling; I invented the time machine to travel through time."

"My only regret is that I'll never get a chance to visit my favorite historical era, the Old West. But time-traveling is just too dangerous. Better that I devote myself to study the other great mystery of the universe: Women."

"[about Biff having gone back to November 12, 1955] Unbelievable that Old Biff could've 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 temporal junction point of the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it would just be an amazing coincidence."

"Getting back was only the beginning."

"Synchronize your watches. The future's coming back…"

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!"

"This time Marty McFly doesn't know if he's coming or going...and his future is really up in the air."

"Welcome Back Marty McFly. He's smart. He's handsome. He's got a great future behind him."

"Once the film came out and was this huge success, the studio very quickly said, "We must have a sequel!" But because the second one was such a long script, and they couldn't find any way to shorten it, they decided to make it as two films. I'm surprised the second one wasn't marketed as "part two of three". A lot of people found it less rewarding because it didn't have the fun and lightness of the first one, but then the third one makes sense of the second – it all connects up. I think the first film resonates so well with audiences because of the element of wish-fulfilment at its heart. We've all said to ourselves, "I wish I could go back in time and change something" or, "If only I could do that over again"."
