Marshal Strickland: The only party I'll be smilin' at is the one that sees you at the end of a rope. Strickland's line to Buford at the dance:īuford: Smile, Marshal.After the confrontation, a number of townspeople come up to Marty and thank him for being one of the few people who stand up to Buford. Marty also doesn't hesitate to get in Buford's face immediately.He also doesn't hesitate to scream and try and charge Buford when he shoves Clara to the ground, despite being held back by Buford's goons, and doesn't cower when Buford points the derringer directly at him. If he's going to die, he's going to do it facing death with dignity. When Buford had a derringer gun to Doc's back, what does the latter do? He turns around to face Buford in order to defy his destiny (he originally died from a bullet to his back).He's never had anyone have his back like that before, and it shows that he finally grasped how deep Marty and 1985 Doc's friendship was. After you fix the time circuits and put new tires on the DeLorean, I'm gonna go back to 1885 and I'm bringing you home.
