What a great scene, huh? And then George says “Yeah, who are you?” and then Goldie Wilson jumps in and tells George not to let those boys push him around?
SURPRISE!! Book Marty messes it up!
George and Marty watched [Biff] go.
“I can’t believe it,” Marty said finally. ”You’re a young George McFly…”
And George is all “Of course I’m young” and then Book Marty decides to show off! For some reason? And then the whole page is wasted with Book Marty showing off the things he knows and it’d better be for his own personal amusement because it’s mos def not for ours:
“Your birthday’s August 18th and your mother’s name is Sylvia, right?”
George shook his head, not because the information was wrong but because he was amazed. Had the fellow gotten hold of school files or looked through his wallet?
Marty goes on, letting George know that HE knows that George’s father enlisted in World War I as a sixteen year old, went to France, got found out as being too young, and was shipped back without firing a shot. In response,

EVERYONE EVER
