Strickland: I noticed you band is on the roster for dance auditions after school today. Why even bother McFly, you haven't got a chance, you're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley.
Marty: Yeah, well history is gonna change.
The school auditorium. A band has just finished and Marty's group are waiting to go on. Jennifer is nearby watching. There are 4 judges, the second one wears glasses and is the one who speaks below.
Audition Judge: Next, please.
Marty and his group get onto the stage.
Marty: All right, we're the Pinheads.
They begin to play the first bit of The Power Of Love. The judges look at each other and then the guy with glasses picks up his loudspeaker.
Audition Judge: OK, that's enough. Now stop the microphone. I'm sorry fellas. I'm afraid you're just too darn loud. Next, please. Where's the next group, please?
Courthouse Square. Marty and Jennifer are walking through it. An election van drives past.
Election Van: (v.o) Re-elect Mayor Goldie Wilson. Progress is his middle name.
Cut to Marty Jennifer.
Marty: I'm too loud. I can't believe it. I'm never gonna get a chance to play in front of anybody.
Jennifer: Marty, one rejection isn't the end of the world.
Marty: Nah, I just don't think I'm cut out for music.
Jennifer: But you're good, Marty, you're really good. And this audition tape of your is great, you gotta send it in to the record company. It's like Doc's always saying.
Marty: Yeah I know, If you put your mind to it you could accomplish anything.
A couple of girls walk past and Marty looks at them. Jennifer turns his head back towards her.
Jennifer: That's good advice, Marty.
They sit down on a bench.
Marty: All right, OK Jennifer. What if I send in the tape and they don't like it. I mean, what if they say I'm no geed. What if they say, Get out of here, kid, you got no future. I mean, I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection. Jesus, I'm beginning to sound like my old man.
Jennifer: C'mon, he's not that bad. At least he's letting you borrow the car tomorrow night.
We see a new 4x4 Toyota is being delivered at the car dealership.
Marty: Check out that 4x4. That is hot.
Man in dealership: OK, back her up.
Cut back to Marty Jennifer.
Marty: Someday, Jennifer, someday. Wouldn't it be great to take that truck up to the lake. Throw a couple of sleeping bags in the back. Make out under the stars.
Jennifer: Stop it.
Marty: What?
Jennifer: Does your mom know about tomorrow night?
Marty: No, get out of town, my mom thinks I'm going camping with the guys. (off Jennifer's look) Well, Jennifer, my mother would freak out if she knew I was going up there with you. And I get this standard lecture about how she never did that kind of stuff when she was a kid. Now look, I think she was born a nun.
Jennifer: She's just trying to keep you respectable.
Marty: Well, she's not doing a very good job.
The CLOCK TOWER WOMAN is in the background.
Woman: Save the clock tower!
She comes over to Marty and Jennifer.
Woman: Save the clock tower! Mayor Wilson is sponsoring an initiative to replace that clock. 30 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 gets out a quarter.
Marty: Here you go, lady. There's a quarter.
Woman: Thank you, don't forget to take a flyer.
She gives him one.
Marty: Right.
Woman: Save the clock tower!
She walks away.
Marty: Where were we?
Jennifer: Right about here.
They're just about to kiss when a car pulls up and honks the horn. It's Jennifer's Dad, MR PARKER.
Mr Parker: (v.o, from car) Jennifer.
Jennifer: It's my dad.
Marty: Right.
