Later that evening, after installing the DeLorean onto the tracks, Doc explains that he is not going back, and intends to stay with Clara.
However, after some talk, Marty tells Doc that this could very well continue to ruin the space-time continuum.
Doc regards his friend's request, but still decides to go to Clara, to say goodbye.
Going to her house, Doc attempts to say goodbye in a subtle way, but Clara realizes he is keeping something from her, and wants to know the truth.
Wanting to be honest with her, he explains that he is from the future and is going to return there the next day.
Instead of understanding, Clara feels that he is lying as a way to say he doesn't love her anymore.
Heartbroken, Doc goes to town, and into the saloon, requesting whiskey.
A salesman sees Doc, and engages him in conversation.
The conversation they are discussing leads to the topic 'future.'
Doc then begins to preach about what the future will bring.
The next morning, Marty wakes up, but finds Doc gone.
Heading into town, he finds him still at the saloon, still awake after all this time, the untouched whiskey on the bar.
Marty manages to shake his friend out of his depression, and the two head off...but not before Doc drinks a toast to the future...with the whiskey knocking him out cold!
The bartender mixes a concoction that manages to wake Doc out of his stupor, but still has him knocked out.
As Marty and the bartender continue to try and revive Doc, Seamus arrives in the bar, claiming that 'something told him he should be there.'
