Back To The Future, Part III

Doc: Emmett Brown, at your service, Miss...

Clara: Um...um...Clayton. Clara Clayton.

Cut to Marty. He gets the photo out of his pocket and looks at it, then to Doc and Clara.

Doc: Clara. (pause) What a beautiful name.

Cut to a about half an hour later. Everyone is riding to Clara's cabin. Clara is on one of the horses that took her to the ravine, supplies are on the other one. Marty and the supply horse ride a bit behind Doc and Clara. When they reach the cabin, Doc and Marty take the supplies and put them on the porch.

Doc: May I help you inside with these?

Clara: Oh no, that won't be necessary. You've done more than enough already.

Doc: But it's really no trouble.

Marty: Doc, she says it's fine, and we gotta get going. (to Clara) Ma'am, good luck with the school teaching and everything.

Doc: Clara, I'll straighten everything out with Mr Statler from the buckboard rental - don't you worry about that. I feel somewhat responsible for what happened.

Clara: Oh, well, that would be very gentlemanly of you, Mr Brown (slight pause) Emmett. You know, I'm almost glad that snake spooked those horses. Otherwise, we might never have met. I suppose it was destiny. Well, thank you for everything.

Doc: You're quite welcome.

Clara: I will...see you again, won't I?

Doc replies casually, even though he knows he is lying.

Doc: Of course, you'll see lots of me, I'm sure, I have a shop in town. I'm a local scientist...uh...uh...blacksmith.

Clara: Science? What sort of science? Astronomy? Chemistry?

Doc: Actually I'm a student of all sciences.

Marty: Hey Doc, we gotta get going.

Doc: Oh yes, well, excuse us Clara, we have to get...going.

Doc and Marty start to leave, and Doc turns to wave back to Clara.

Doc: Toodle-ooh.

She waves back as they leave. We stay with Marty and Doc as:

Marty: What do ya mean, you're gonna be seeing' lots of her, Doc?

Doc: Well, I might see her again, just in passing.

Marty laughs. He suspects Doc is in love.

Marty: C'mon, Doc, did you see the way she was looking at you?

Doc: Well, she did have quite a scare, right? After all, Miss Clayton almost ended up at the bottom of Clayton Ravine... Clayton Ravine!

Both Doc and Marty realise the connection.

Marty: Holy shit! Hey Doc! Clayton Ravine was named after a teacher. They say she fell in there a 100 years ago.

Doc: A 100 years ago? That's this year!
