Pre-Back to the Future

Little is known about Marty's life pre-the first Back to the Future film, except the fact that he set the living room rug on fire when he was 8 and eventually met Doc and Jennifer. How exactly Marty and Doc met has never been explained, although a draft script for the first film states that Doc turned up at Marty's garage one day and offered him $50 a week, plus free beer and use of his record collection, to clean his garage. This explanation is not accepted by most fans however as it contradicts with the characters of Marty and Doc we see in the finished film. Co-writers Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale say they once considered expanding on their relationship, but decided against it, reasoning that children and adolescents are often attracted to eccentric or mysterious neighbors.
