Quote #4

George: Well, Marty, I want to thank you for all your good advice, I'll never forget it.

Here George acknowledges the role Marty played in turning him around. It wasn't just an inner voice that told him to go after Lorraine, or to tell Biff to "get his hands off her." It was this mysterious, wonderful stranger who came unexpectedly into his life and set him straight. Hm. Maybe he should name a kid after him…

Quote #5

Marty: Doc, Doc. Oh, no. You're alive. Bulletproof vest… how did you know? I never got a chance to tell you. What about all that talk about screwing up future events, the space-time continuum?
Doc: Well, I figured, what the hell?

For better or for worse, Doc's transformation is a lightening up on the subject of interfering with the space-time continuum. He used to be hard-nosed on the issue, but a while after he tore up that letter from Marty, he had second thoughts and pieced it back together. Good thing, too, or else they'd be piecing him back together.

Quote #6

Lorraine: Oh, I sure like her, Marty, she is such a sweet girl.

This is quite a 180 from "I don't like her, Marty." However, since her dating experience became completely altered after meeting her son a dozen years before he was born her views on teenage boys and girls have changed. Now she's totally okay with "parking" and "girls chasing boys." We like this new Lorraine. Very progressive.
