Doc: Look what Biff did! He changed the courthouse to a casino hotel!

Marty: Well Doc, what should we do?

Doc: Marty, I figure while we're here, let's try to make a little cash. I'll head to the stud poker tables and see how I do. Card games are just visual illusions after all.

Marty: Sure, Doc. Why don't you go for a spin at the poker table, and I'll see if I can find our guy.

Time Traveler Captured: The Doctor

Doc: It's a shame I had to stop a fellow Doctor, but he was most certainly going to mess up our timeline.
