There's a knock on the door.

Clara: (o.s) Hello? Emmett?

Doc sees it is Clara.

Doc: It's Clara! Quick, cover the DeLorean.

Marty and Doc cover it with a sheet, and as Clara lets herself in, Marty hides the model DeLorean.

Clara: Hello.

Doc: Why, hello. This is quite a surprise.

Clara: Well, I hope I'm not disturbing anything.

Doc: Oh no, we were just doing a little model railroad.

Clara: Emmett, when my bags were thrown from the wagon, my telescope was damaged. And...since you expressed an interest in science, I thought you might be able to repair it for me. (pause) I would pay you, of course.

Doc: Oh, no, no, no, I wouldn't think of charging you for this.

Marty sighs and runs his hand through his hair.

Doc: (continued) Well, let's have a look at it.

He opens the case and takes the telescope out. He puts it to his eye and closes his other one.

Clara: I think the lens may be out of alignment, because if you move it this way, the image turns fuzzy, see?

She moves closer to Doc and turns the telescope slightly.

Clara: (continued) But if you turn it ... the other way...

Doc takes the telescope from his eyes and lowers his hand. He turns to face Clara and they gaze at each other.

Doc: ...everything becomes - clear.

We get the feeling they will kiss if left alone much longer. Marty does too, so he coughs loudly and causes Doc and Clara to look away from each other quickly. She moves towards the door and Doc hold the telescope with a goofy look on his face. He's definitely in love.

Doc: I will repair it right away and have it for you tonight.

Clara: Oh, tonight's the town festival. I wouldn't dream of having you work on my telescope during such an important event. You are panning on attending, aren't you?

Marty: Well, actually ma'am...

Doc: Of course, the festival...

Clara: Well, in that case, I'll see you this evening at the festival, Emmett.

She turns to Marty as she leaves.

Clara: Mr Eastwood.

Marty: Ma'am.

Clara turns back to look at Doc.

Clara: Thank you for taking care of my telescope.
