Marty: (o.s) Don't you be a smart ass!
Marty Junior: (o.s, a bit sarcastically?) Oh, great, it's the atrocity channel.
Lorraine puts the pizza in a Black and Decker Hydrator.
Lorraine: Hydrate level 4 please.
4 seconds later, she takes the pizza out - it's bigger!
Lorraine: Mmm.
Marty Junior: (o.s) Is it ready?
Lorraine puts the pizza on the table.
Lorraine: Here you go.
Marty, Marlene and Marty Junior all take a slice. Marlene and Marty Junior both have television/telephone goggles on.
Marty: Oh boy, oh boy Mom, you sure can hydrate a pizza. (Marty takes a bite.) Now I'm sorry I missed that whole thing.
Cut to Jennifer.
Lorraine: (o.s) Now I'm just worried about Jennifer.
Cut back to kitchen.
Lorraine: Why isn't she home yet?
Marty: I'm not sure where Jennifer is Mom.
Marty pours himself and his son some juice. Marlene has a Pepsi.
Marty: Should have been home hours ago, and I'm having a hard time keeping track of her these days.
Marty Junior: Hey fruit, fruit please! (The fruit thing comes down) Thank you.
Lorraine: Aren't you and Jennifer getting along?
Marty: Oh yeah, great Mom, we're like a couple of teenagers, ya know.
The phone rings on the kids goggles.
Marty Junior: Dad, telephone, its Needles.
Marlene: Dad, it's for you.
Marty: All right, well, I'll take it down in the den. Excuse me.
Marty Junior: (re: fruit machine) Retract!
Cut to the TV screen. Marty walks in.
Marty: Hello, in here please.
The painting on screen disappears to reveal NEEDLES. He's on the other end of a videophone!
Needles: Hey, hey, the big M! How's it hanging McFly?
Marty: Hey Needles.
Cut to Jennifer.
Needles: (o.s) So...
Jennifer: (puzzled - she obviously knows Needles) Needles?
Jennifer's POV - she watches Marty and Needles.
Needles: Did you take a look at that little business proposal of mine?
Cut to Jennifer.
Marty: (o.s) I don't know Needles.
Needles: (o.s) What are you afraid of?
Back to Jennifer's POV.
Needles: If this thing works, it'll solve all your financial problems.
Marty: And if it doesn't work Needles, I could get fired. It's illegal! I mean, what if the Jitz is watching, huh?
Needles: The Jitz will never find out! Come on, stick your card in the slot and I'll handle it.
Marty: Nah. (He starts to walk off)
Needles: Unless you want everyone in division to think you're.....chicken.
Marty freezes at this word. He then turns around.
Marty: Nobody calls me chicken, Needles, nobody!
Needles: All right, prove it.
Marty: All right, all right Needles, here's my card, scan it, I'm in.
