Doc Brown quotes

View Quote Great Scott!

View Quote Slow Down!!

View Quote The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

View Quote Good evening. I'm Doctor Emmett Brown and I'm standing here in the parking lot at Twin Pines Mall. It is Saturday morning, October 26, 1985, 1:18 A.M. and this is temporal experiment number one. Please note that Einstein's clock is in precise synchronization with my control watch.

View Quote If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit.

View Quote Ha! What did I tell you?! EIGHTY-EIGHT MILES PER HOUR!!! The temporal displacement occurred exactly 1:20 AM and zero seconds!

View Quote Einstein's clock is exactly one minute behind mine and still ticking!

View Quote First, you turn the time circuits on. This one tells you where you're going. This one tells you where you are. This one tells you where you were. You input your destination time on this keypad. Say you want to see the signing of the Declaration of Independence [Jul. 4, 1776] or witness the birth of Christ [Dec. 25, 0000]. Here's a red-letter date in the history of science: November 5, 1955. Yes! Of course! November 5, 1955! That was the day I invented time-travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and when I came to I had a revelation! A vision! A picture in my head! A picture of this! This is what makes time travel possible: the flux capacitor! It's taken me nearly thirty years and my entire family fortune to realize the vision of that day. My God, has it been that long? Things have certainly changed around here. I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eye could see! Old man Peabody owned all of this! He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees.

View Quote Oh my god... they found me. I don't know how, but they found me. RUN FOR IT MARTY!

View Quote My God. Do you know what this means? It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all!

View Quote 1.21 GIGAWATTS!!!

View Quote I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drug store, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by. Marty, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're stuck here!

View Quote (after reading the flyer) This is it! This is the answer! It says here that a bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04 PM next Saturday Night! If we could somehow... harness this lightning; channel it into the Flux Capacitor, it just might work. Next Saturday night, we're sending you back to the future!

View Quote [pointing at a poster for a dance] Look! There's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up!

View Quote Please excuse the crudity of this model as I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it.

View Quote [looks at his watch] Damn! Where is that kid! [looks at another watch] Damn! [and another] Damn, damn!

View Quote Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88 miles an hour, the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine!

View Quote It works! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! IT WORKS! I finally invent something that works. Somehow, we've gotta sneak this back to my laboratory. We gotta get you home!

View Quote You're not thinking fourth dimensionally!
