Mr. Strickland : I noticed your band is on the roster for the dance auditions after school today. Why even bother, McFly? You don't have a chance. You're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley!
Marty McFly : Yeah, well, history is gonna change.

George McFly : [deleted scene]
[after looking at his watch George rushes to the phone booth and calls the operator]
George McFly : Operator! Operator, can you give me the time?
[a few students come and block him in the phone booth with a trident]
George McFly : Dixon, I got to get out! Dixon, this isn't funny! What? Dixon!
[the students laugh as they walk away]
George McFly : [Mr. Strickland walks by and sees George inside the phone booth] Mr. Strickland, those no-good guys, they just locked me in.
Mr. Strickland : You see. You see what happens to slackers, McFly?
[walks away]
George McFly : Yes. Yes! Mr. Strickland, you've got to let me out of here!

Mr. Strickland : Am I to understand you're still hanging around with Dr. Emmett Brown, McFly?
[clicks with his mouth, gives Jennifer a tardy slip]
Mr. Strickland : Tardy slip for you, Miss Parker.
[gives Marty one, too]
Mr. Strickland : And one for you, McFly; I believe that makes four in a row. Now let me give you a nickel's worth of free advice, young man. This so-called Dr. Brown is dangerous. He's a real nutcase. You hang around with him, you're gonna end up in big trouble.
Marty McFly : [sarcastically] Ooh, yes, sir.
Mr. Strickland : [pushes Marty a little bit] You got a real attitude problem, McFly; you're a slacker. You remind me of your father when he went here; he was a slacker, too.
