* The dog scene is pretty amusing.

to:

* As Mel and his friends stop outside a public restroom so that Dom can relieve himself, a man asks if one of the other two can look after his dog while he uses the restroom. Marty agrees, but then a blind man comes along with an identical dog and the same request. Inevitably, the first man takes the blind man's guide dog (despite Marty's attempt to alert him to his mistake) and tries to jaywalk, only for the dog to stand firmly in place while the sign says "DON'T WALK". The blind man gets the first man's dog scene and is pretty amusing.dragged off helplessly as the dog bounds through the park.

So the first board member slaps the second, and so on down the line... until the fifth board member slaps the fourth before he can be slapped, so the fourth board member slaps the third, and so on back up the line until the first slaps Devour again.
