Back to the Future quotes

View Quote Woman: Save the clock tower! Save the clock tower! Mayor Wilson is sponsoring an initiative to replace that clock. Thirty years ago, lightning struck that clock tower and the clock hasn't run since. We at the Hill Valley Preservation Society think it should be preserved exactly the way it is as part of our history and heritage -
Marty: Here you go, lady. Here's a quarter.
Woman: Thank you. Don't forget to take a flyer. (going off into distance) Save the clock tower!...

Doc Brown: What am I wearing?
Marty McFly: Oh this, this is a radiation suit.

George: Well, they're bigger than me.
Goldie Wilson: Stand tall, boy. Have some respect for yourself. Don't you know if you let people walk over you now, they'll be walking over you for the rest of your life! Look at me. You think I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in this slop house?
Coffee bar manager (Lou Carruthers): Watch it, Goldie!
Goldie Wilson: No, sir! I'm gonna make something of myself. I'm going to night school and one day I'm gonna be somebody!
Marty: That's right, he's gonna be mayor!
Goldie Wilson: Yeah, I'm gonna... mayor. Now that's a good idea. I could run for mayor.
Coffee bar manager (Lou Carruthers): A colored mayor, that'll be the day.
Goldie Wilson: You wait and see, Mr. Carruthers. I will be mayor! I'll be the most powerful mayor in Hill Valley and I'm gonna clean up this town.
Coffee bar manager (Lou Carruthers): Good. You can start by sweeping the floor.
Goldie Wilson: "Mayor Goldie Wilson". I like the sound of that.
