| + | |
| + | Hello. |
| + | |
| + | My name's Forrest. Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Do you want a chocolate? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I could eat |
| + | |
| + | about a million and a half of these. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | My mama always said |
| + | |
| + | life was like a box of chocolates. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You never know |
| + | |
| + | what you're going to get. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Those must be comfortable shoes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I bet you could walk all day in shoes |
| + | |
| + | like that and not feel a thing. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I wish I had shoes like that. |
| + | |
| + | - My feet hurt. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama always said there's an awful lot |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | you can tell about a person |
| + | |
| + | by their shoes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Where they're going, |
| + | |
| + | where they've been. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I've worn lots of shoes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I bet if I think about it real hard, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I could remember |
| + | |
| + | my first pair of shoes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama said they'd take me anywhere. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She said they was my magic shoes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | All right, Forrest, |
| + | |
| + | open your eyes now. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Let's take a little walk around. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | How do those feel? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | His legs are strong, Mrs Gump, |
| + | |
| + | as strong as I've ever seen. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But his back's as |
| + | |
| + | crooked as a politician. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But we're going to straighten him |
| + | |
| + | right up, aren't we, Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | When I was a baby, Mama named me |
| + | |
| + | after the great Civil War hero |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | General Nathan Bedford Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She said we was related to him |
| + | |
| + | in some way. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What he did was he started up |
| + | |
| + | this club called the Ku Klux Klan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They'd all dress up |
| + | |
| + | in their robes and their bed sheets |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and act like a bunch |
| + | |
| + | of ghosts or spooks or something. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They'd even put bed sheets |
| + | |
| + | on their horses and ride around. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And anyway, that's how |
| + | |
| + | I got my name, Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama said the Forrest part |
| + | |
| + | was to remind me that sometimes |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | we all do things that, well, |
| + | |
| + | just don't make no sense. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This way. Hold on. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | All right. |
| + | |
| + | What are y'all staring at? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Haven't you ever seen a little boy |
| + | |
| + | with braces on his legs before? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Don't ever let anybody tell you |
| + | |
| + | they're better than you, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | If God wanted everybody |
| + | |
| + | to be the same, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | he'd have given us all |
| + | |
| + | braces on our legs. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama always had a way of explaining |
| + | |
| + | things so I could understand them. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We lived about |
| + | |
| + | a quarter mile off Route |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | about a half mile |
| + | |
| + | from the town of Greenbow, Alabama. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's in the county of Greenbow. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Our house had been in Mama's family |
| + | |
| + | since her grandpa's grandpa's grandpa |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | had come across the ocean |
| + | |
| + | about a thousand years ago. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Since it was just me and Mama |
| + | |
| + | and we had all these empty rooms, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama decided to let those rooms out, |
| + | |
| + | mostly to people passing through, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | like from Mobile, |
| + | |
| + | Montgomery, places like that. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's how me and Mama got money. |
| + | |
| + | Mama was a real smart lady. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Remember what I told you, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You're no different |
| + | |
| + | than anybody else is. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Did you hear what I said, Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | You're the same as everybody else. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You are no different. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Your boy's different, Mrs Gump. |
| + | |
| + | His I.Q. Is . |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, we're all different, |
| + | |
| + | Mr Hancock. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She wanted me to have |
| + | |
| + | the finest education, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | so she took me to |
| + | |
| + | the Greenbow County Central School. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I met the principal and all. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I want to show you |
| + | |
| + | something, Mrs Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, this is normal. |
| + | |
| + | Forrest is right here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The state requires a minimum I.Q. |
| + | |
| + | Of to attend public school. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mrs Gump, he's going to have |
| + | |
| + | to go to a special school. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - He'll be just fine. |
| + | |
| + | - What does normal mean anyway? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He might be a bit on the slow side, |
| + | |
| + | but my boy Forrest |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | will get the same opportunities |
| + | |
| + | as everyone else. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He's not going to some special school |
| + | |
| + | to learn how to retread tyres. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We're talking about |
| + | |
| + | five little points here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There must be something can be done. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We're a progressive school system. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We don't want to see |
| + | |
| + | anybody left behind. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Is there a Mr Gump, Mrs Gump? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He's on vacation. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Your mama sure does care |
| + | |
| + | about your schooling, son. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You don't say much, do you? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | "Finally, he had to try. |
| + | |
| + | It looked easy, but... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | "Oh, what happened. First they..." |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Mama, what's vacation mean? |
| + | |
| + | - Vacation? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Where daddy went? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Vacation's when you go somewhere... |
| + | |
| + | and you don't ever come back. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Anyway, I guess you could say |
| + | |
| + | me and Mama was on our own. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But we didn't mind. |
| + | |
| + | Our house was never empty. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There was always |
| + | |
| + | folks coming and going. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Supper! It's supper, everyone! |
| + | |
| + | - That sure looks special. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sometimes, we had so many people |
| + | |
| + | staying with us |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | that every room was filled, |
| + | |
| + | with travellers, you know, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | folks living out of their suitcases |
| + | |
| + | and hat cases and sample cases. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest Gump, |
| + | |
| + | it's suppertime! Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | One time, a young man was staying |
| + | |
| + | with us, and he had a guitar case. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, I told you not to bother |
| + | |
| + | this nice young man. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No, that's all right, ma'am. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I was showing him |
| + | |
| + | a thing or two on the guitar. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | All right. Supper's ready |
| + | |
| + | if y'all want to eat. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yeah, that sounds good. |
| + | |
| + | Thank you, ma'am. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Say, show me that crazy little walk |
| + | |
| + | you did there. Slow it down some. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I liked that guitar. It sounded good. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I started moving around to the music, |
| + | |
| + | swinging my hips. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This one night, |
| + | |
| + | me and Mama was out shopping, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and we walked by Benson's furniture |
| + | |
| + | and appliance store, and guess what? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This is not for children's eyes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Some years later, that handsome |
| + | |
| + | young man who they called The King, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | well, he sung too many songs. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Had himself a heart attack |
| + | |
| + | or something. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It must be hard being a king. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's funny how you remember some |
| + | |
| + | things, but some things you can't. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - You do your very best now, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | - I sure will, Mama. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I remember the bus ride |
| + | |
| + | on the first day of school very well. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Are you coming along? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama said not to take rides |
| + | |
| + | from strangers. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This is the bus to school. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | - I'm Dorothy Harris. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, now we ain't strangers anymore. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This seat's taken. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's taken. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You can't sit here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You know, it's funny what |
| + | |
| + | a young man recollects, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'cause I don't remember being born. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I don't recall what I got |
| + | |
| + | for my first Christmas, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and I don't know when I went |
| + | |
| + | on my first outdoor picnic, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but I do remember |
| + | |
| + | the first time I heard |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | the sweetest voice in the wide world. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You can sit here if you want. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I had never seen anything |
| + | |
| + | so beautiful in my life. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She was like an angel. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, are you going |
| + | |
| + | to sit down or aren't you? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What's wrong with your legs? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Nothing at all, thank you. |
| + | |
| + | My legs are just fine and dandy. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I just sat next to her on that bus |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and had a conversation |
| + | |
| + | all the way to school. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | My back's crooked |
| + | |
| + | like a question mark. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Next to Mama, no one ever talked |
| + | |
| + | to me or asked me questions. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Are you stupid or something? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama says, |
| + | |
| + | "Stupid is as stupid does." |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I'm Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | - I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | From that day on, |
| + | |
| + | we was always together. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny and me |
| + | |
| + | was like peas and carrots. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She taught me how to climb. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on, Forrest, you can do it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I showed her how to dangle. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She helped me learn how to read, |
| + | |
| + | and I showed her how to swing. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sometimes, we'd just sit out |
| + | |
| + | and wait for the stars. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Mama's going to worry about me. |
| + | |
| + | - Just stay a little longer. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For some reason, |
| + | |
| + | Jenny never wanted to go home. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | OK, Jenny, I'll stay. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She was my most special friend. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | My only friend. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | My Mama always told me |
| + | |
| + | that miracles happen every day. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Some people don't think so, |
| + | |
| + | but they do. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hey, dummy! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Are you retarded, |
| + | |
| + | or just plain stupid? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Look, I'm Forrest Gimp. |
| + | |
| + | - Just run away, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Run, Forrest! Run away! Hurry! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Get the bikes! |
| + | |
| + | - Let's get him! Come on! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Look out, dummy! |
| + | |
| + | We're going to get you! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Run, Forrest, run! Run, Forrest! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come back here, you! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Run, Forrest! Run! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You wouldn't |
| + | |
| + | believe it if I told you, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but I can run like the wind blows. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | From that day on, if I was |
| + | |
| + | going somewhere, I was running. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That boy sure is a running fool. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Remember how I told you that Jenny |
| + | |
| + | never seemed to want to go home? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She lived in a house |
| + | |
| + | that was as old as Alabama. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Her mama had gone to heaven |
| + | |
| + | when she was five, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and her daddy was |
| + | |
| + | some kind of a farmer. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He was a very loving man. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He was always kissing |
| + | |
| + | and touching her and her sisters. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And then this one time, Jenny |
| + | |
| + | wasn't on the bus to go to school. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny, |
| + | |
| + | why didn't you come to school today? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Daddy's taking a nap. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny, where'd you run to? |
| + | |
| + | You better get back here, girl! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Where you at? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny! Jenny, where you at? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly |
| + | |
| + | far, far, far away from here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Dear God, make me a bird |
| + | |
| + | so I can fly far... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama always said God is mysterious. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He didn't turn Jenny |
| + | |
| + | into a bird that day. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Instead, he had the police say |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny didn't have to stay |
| + | |
| + | in that house no more. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She was to live with her grandma, |
| + | |
| + | just over on Creekmore Avenue, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | which made me happy, |
| + | |
| + | 'cause she was so close. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Some nights, Jenny'd sneak out |
| + | |
| + | and come on over to my house, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | just 'cause she said she was scared. |
| + | |
| + | Scared of what, I don't know. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But I think it was her grandma's dog. |
| + | |
| + | He was a mean dog. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Anyway, Jenny and me was best friends |
| + | |
| + | all the way up through high school. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hey, stupid! |
| + | |
| + | - Quit it! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Run, Forrest, run! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Didn't you hear me, stupid? |
| + | |
| + | - Run, Forrest! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Get in the truck! |
| + | |
| + | Come on! He's getting away! Move it! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Run, Forrest! Run! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Run, Forrest! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, it used to be |
| + | |
| + | I ran to get where I was going. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I never thought |
| + | |
| + | it would take me anywhere. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Who in the hell is that? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That is Forrest Gump, coach. |
| + | |
| + | Just a local idiot. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And can you believe it? |
| + | |
| + | I got to go to college, too. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Forrest, move it! Run! |
| + | |
| + | - OK! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Run! |
| + | |
| + | - Run, you stupid son of a bitch! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Run, son of a bitch, run! Go! Run! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He must be the stupidest son of |
| + | |
| + | a bitch alive, but he sure is fast. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, maybe it's just me, |
| + | |
| + | but college was very confusing times. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Federal troops, |
| + | |
| + | enforcing a court order, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | integrated |
| + | |
| + | the University of Alabama today. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Two Negroes were admitted, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but only after Governor George |
| + | |
| + | Wallace had carried out |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | his symbolic threat |
| + | |
| + | to stand in the schoolhouse door. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Earl, what's going on? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Coons are trying to get into school. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Coons? When racoons |
| + | |
| + | tried getting on our back porch, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama just chased them off |
| + | |
| + | with a broom. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Not racoons, you idiot. Niggers. |
| + | |
| + | They want to go to school with us. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | With us? They do? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Shortly after Governor Wallace |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | had carried out his promise |
| + | |
| + | to block the doorway, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | President Kennedy |
| + | |
| + | ordered the Secretary of Defence |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | to use military force. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Here, by videotape, |
| + | |
| + | is the encounter by General Graham, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | commander of the national guard, |
| + | |
| + | and Governor Wallace. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Because these national guardsmen |
| + | |
| + | are here today |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | as federal soldiers for Alabama, |
| + | |
| + | and they live within our borders. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They are our brothers. |
| + | |
| + | We are winning in this fight, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | because we are awakening |
| + | |
| + | the American people to the dangers |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | that we have spoken about |
| + | |
| + | so many times, so evident today, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | a trend toward military |
| + | |
| + | dictatorship in this country. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And so, at day's end, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | the University of Alabama |
| + | |
| + | in Tuscaloosa had been desegregated, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and students Jimmy Hood |
| + | |
| + | and Vivian Malone |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | had been signed up |
| + | |
| + | for summer classes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Ma'am, you dropped your book. Ma'am. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Governor Wallace |
| + | |
| + | did what he promised. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | By being on the Tuscaloosa campus, |
| + | |
| + | he kept the mob from gathering... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Say, wasn't that Gump? |
| + | |
| + | - Naw, that couldn't be. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It sure as hell was. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | A few years later, that angry |
| + | |
| + | little man at the schoolhouse door |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | thought it'd be a good idea |
| + | |
| + | and ran for President. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But somebody thought that it wasn't. |
| + | |
| + | But he didn't die. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - My bus is here. |
| + | |
| + | - Is it the number nine? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - No, it's the number four. |
| + | |
| + | - It was nice talking to you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I remember when that happened, when |
| + | |
| + | Wallace got shot. I was in college. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Did you go to a girls college |
| + | |
| + | or a girls and boys together college? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was coed. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny went to a college I couldn't go |
| + | |
| + | to. It was a college just for girls. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But I'd go and visit her |
| + | |
| + | every chance I got. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That hurts. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, stop it! Stop it! |
| + | |
| + | What are you doing? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - He was hurting you. |
| + | |
| + | - No, he wasn't! Get over there! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Billy, I'm sorry. |
| + | |
| + | - Just keep away from me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Don't be such a... Don't go. |
| + | |
| + | Billy, wait a second. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He doesn't know any better. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, why'd you do that? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I brought you some chocolate. |
| + | |
| + | I'm sorry. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll go back to my college now. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Look at you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on. Come on. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Is this your own room? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Do you ever dream, Forrest, |
| + | |
| + | about who you're going to be? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Who I'm going to be? |
| + | |
| + | Aren't I going to be me? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You'll always be you, |
| + | |
| + | just another kind of you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You know? I want to be famous. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I want to be a singer |
| + | |
| + | like Joan Baez. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I just want to be on an empty stage |
| + | |
| + | with my guitar, my voice. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Just me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And I want to reach people |
| + | |
| + | on a personal level. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I want to be able to say things, |
| + | |
| + | just one to one. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Have you ever been with a girl, |
| + | |
| + | Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I sit next to them in my home |
| + | |
| + | economics class all the time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm sorry. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - It's OK. |
| + | |
| + | - Sorry. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's all right. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - It's OK. |
| + | |
| + | - I'm dizzy. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll bet that never |
| + | |
| + | happened in home ec. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I think I ruined |
| + | |
| + | your roommate's bathrobe. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I don't care. |
| + | |
| + | I don't like her anyway. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | College ran by real fast |
| + | |
| + | 'cause I played so much football. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They even put me on a thing |
| + | |
| + | called the All-America team |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | where you get to meet the President |
| + | |
| + | of the United States. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | President Kennedy met with the |
| + | |
| + | collegiate All-American football team |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | at the Oval Office today. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The really good thing about meeting |
| + | |
| + | the President of the United States |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | is the food. |
| + | |
| + | They put you in this little room |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | with just about anything |
| + | |
| + | you'd want to eat or drink. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But since, number one, |
| + | |
| + | I wasn't hungry, but thirsty, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and number two, they was free, I must |
| + | |
| + | have drank about Dr Peppers. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | How does it feel |
| + | |
| + | to be an All-American? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's an honour, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | How does it feel |
| + | |
| + | to be an All-American? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Very good, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | How does it feel |
| + | |
| + | to be an All-American? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Very good, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Congratulations. How do you feel? |
| + | |
| + | - I got to pee. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I believe he said he had to pee. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Some time later, |
| + | |
| + | for no particular reason, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | somebody shot that nice young |
| + | |
| + | President when he was in his car. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And a few years after that, somebody |
| + | |
| + | shot his little brother, too, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | only he was in a hotel kitchen. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Must be hard being brothers. |
| + | |
| + | I wouldn't know. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now can you believe it? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | After only five years of playing |
| + | |
| + | football, I got a college degree. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Congratulations, son. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama was so proud. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, I'm so proud of you. |
| + | |
| + | I'll hold this for you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Congratulations, son. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Have you given |
| + | |
| + | any thought to your future? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Thought? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hello. I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Nobody gives a horse's shit |
| + | |
| + | who you are, pus ball! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You're not even a lowlife, |
| + | |
| + | scum-sucking maggot! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Get your maggoty ass on the bus! |
| + | |
| + | You're in the army now! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Seat's taken. |
| + | |
| + | - Taken. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | At first it seemed |
| + | |
| + | like I made a mistake. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was only my induction day, |
| + | |
| + | and I was getting yelled at. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sit down if you want to. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I didn't know who I might meet |
| + | |
| + | or what they might ask. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You ever been on a real shrimp boat? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No. But I been on a real big boat. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm talking about |
| + | |
| + | a shrimp catching boat. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I been working on shrimp boats |
| + | |
| + | all my life. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I started out on my uncle's boat |
| + | |
| + | when I was about maybe nine. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I was just looking into buying |
| + | |
| + | my own boat and got drafted. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | My given name |
| + | |
| + | is Benjamin Buford Blue. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | People call me Bubba, just like |
| + | |
| + | one of them old redneck boys. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Can you believe that? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | My name's Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | People call me Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So Bubba was from Bayou La Batre, |
| + | |
| + | Alabama, and his mama cooked shrimp. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And her mama before her |
| + | |
| + | cooked shrimp, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and her mama before her mama |
| + | |
| + | cooked shrimp, too. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bubba's family knew |
| + | |
| + | everything there was to know |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | about the shrimping business. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I know everything there is to know |
| + | |
| + | about the shrimping business. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm going into the shrimping business |
| + | |
| + | myself after I get out of the army. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Gump! What's your sole purpose |
| + | |
| + | in this army? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | To do whatever you tell me, |
| + | |
| + | drill sergeant! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | God damn it, Gump, |
| + | |
| + | you're a goddamn genius. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's the most outstanding answer |
| + | |
| + | I've ever heard. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You must have a goddamn I.Q. Of . |
| + | |
| + | You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Listen up, people! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For some reason, I fit in the army |
| + | |
| + | like one of them round pegs. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's not really hard. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You just make your bed neat, |
| + | |
| + | remember to stand up straight, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and always answer every question |
| + | |
| + | with "Yes, drill sergeant." |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Is that clear? |
| + | |
| + | - Yes, drill sergeant! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What you do is |
| + | |
| + | drag your nets along the bottom. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | On a good day, you can catch |
| + | |
| + | over a hundred pounds of shrimp. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Everything goes all right, |
| + | |
| + | two men shrimping ten hours, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | less what you spends on gas... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Done, drill sergeant! |
| + | |
| + | - Gump! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Why did you put that weapon |
| + | |
| + | together so quickly? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You told me to, drill sergeant. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jesus H. Christ. |
| + | |
| + | This is a new company record. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | If it wasn't a waste |
| + | |
| + | of a fine enlisted man, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'd recommend you for O.C.S., |
| + | |
| + | Private Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You're going to be a general someday! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now disassemble your weapon |
| + | |
| + | and continue! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Anyway, like I was saying, |
| + | |
| + | shrimp is the fruit of the sea. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You can barbecue it, |
| + | |
| + | boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There's shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | shrimp gumbo, pan fried, |
| + | |
| + | deep fried, stir fried. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There's pineapple shrimp |
| + | |
| + | and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | pepper shrimp, |
| + | |
| + | shrimp soup, shrimp stew, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | shrimp salad, shrimp in potatoes, |
| + | |
| + | shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's about it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Night-time in the army |
| + | |
| + | is a lonely time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We'd lay there in our bunks, |
| + | |
| + | and I'd miss my mama, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and I'd miss Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Gump, get a load of the tits on her. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Turns out Jenny had gotten |
| + | |
| + | into some trouble |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | over some photos of her |
| + | |
| + | in her college sweater. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And she was thrown out of school. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But that wasn't a bad thing, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'cause a man who owns a theatre |
| + | |
| + | in Memphis, Tennessee, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | saw those photos and offered Jenny |
| + | |
| + | a job singing in a show. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The first chance I got, |
| + | |
| + | I took the bus up to Memphis |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | to see her perform in that show. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That was Amber, Amber Flame. |
| + | |
| + | Give her a big hand. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And now, for your listening |
| + | |
| + | and viewing pleasure, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | direct from Hollywood, California, |
| + | |
| + | our very own beatnik beauty. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Let's give a big round of applause |
| + | |
| + | to the luscious Bobbie Dylon. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Her dream had come true. |
| + | |
| + | She was a folk singer. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Come on baby, shake it up now! |
| + | |
| + | - Somebody get her a harmonica. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - This ain't Captain Kangaroo! |
| + | |
| + | - I got something here for you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | God damn it! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hey, you stupid jerk! |
| + | |
| + | I'm singing a song here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Paulie, get out here! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Shut up! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest! What are you doing here? |
| + | |
| + | What are you doing? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What are you doing, Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | Let me down! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You can't keep doing this, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | You can't keep trying to rescue me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - They was trying to grab you. |
| + | |
| + | - A lot of people try to grab me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You can't keep |
| + | |
| + | doing this all the time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I can't help it. I love you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You don't know what love is. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You remember that time |
| + | |
| + | we prayed, Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We prayed for God to turn me |
| + | |
| + | into a bird so I could fly far away? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes, I do. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You think |
| + | |
| + | I could fly off this bridge? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What do you mean, Jenny? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Nothing. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I gotta get out of here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Wait, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | - Forrest, you stay away from me, OK? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Just stay away from me, please. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Can I have a ride? |
| + | |
| + | - Where are you going? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I don't care. |
| + | |
| + | - Get in the truck. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So bye-bye, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They sending me to Vietnam. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's this whole other country. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Just hang on a minute. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Listen, you promise me something, OK? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Just if you're ever in trouble, |
| + | |
| + | don't be brave. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - You just run, OK? Just run away. |
| + | |
| + | - OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll write you all the time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And just like that, she was gone. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You come back safe to me. |
| + | |
| + | Do you hear? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They told us that Vietnam |
| + | |
| + | was going to be very different |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | from the United States of America. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Except for all the beer cans |
| + | |
| + | and barbecues, it was. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll bet there's shrimp |
| + | |
| + | all in these waters. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They tell me these Vietnams |
| + | |
| + | is good shrimp. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | After we win this war |
| + | |
| + | and we take over everything, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | we can get American shrimpers out |
| + | |
| + | here and shrimp these waters. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Just shrimp all the time, man. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - You must be my FNGs. |
| + | |
| + | - Morning, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Get your hands down. |
| + | |
| + | Do not salute me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There are goddamn snipers |
| + | |
| + | all around this area |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | who'd love to grease an officer. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm Lieutenant Dan Taylor. |
| + | |
| + | Welcome to Fort Platoon. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - What's wrong with your lip? |
| + | |
| + | - I was born with big gums, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, you better tuck that in. |
| + | |
| + | Gonna get that caught on a trip wire. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Where are you boys from in the world? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Alabama, sir! |
| + | |
| + | - You twins? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No. We are not relations, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Look, it's pretty basic here. |
| + | |
| + | You stick with me and learn |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | from the guys who've been in country |
| + | |
| + | a while, you'll be all right. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There is one item of G.I. Gear |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | that can be the difference |
| + | |
| + | between life and death. Socks. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Cushioned sole, O.D. Green. |
| + | |
| + | Try and keep your feet dry. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | When we're out humpin', |
| + | |
| + | change your socks whenever we stop. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The Mekong will eat |
| + | |
| + | a grunt's feet right off his legs. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sergeant Sims. God damn it, where's |
| + | |
| + | that sling rope I said to order? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I put in the requisitions. |
| + | |
| + | - Well, call those sons of bitches... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan knew his stuff. I felt |
| + | |
| + | real lucky he was my lieutenant. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He was from a long, |
| + | |
| + | great military tradition. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Somebody in his family |
| + | |
| + | had fought and died |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | in every single American war. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | God damn it, kick some ass. |
| + | |
| + | Get on it! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I guess you could say |
| + | |
| + | he had a lot to live up to. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So, you boys from Arkansas? |
| + | |
| + | Well, I been through there. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Little Rock's a fine town. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, shake down your gear. |
| + | |
| + | See the platoon sergeant. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Draw what you need for the field. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | If you boys are hungry, we got |
| + | |
| + | steaks burning right over here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Two standing orders in this platoon. |
| + | |
| + | One, take good care of your feet. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Two, try not to do anything stupid, |
| + | |
| + | like getting yourself killed. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I sure hope I don't let him down. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I got to see a lot of countryside. |
| + | |
| + | We would take these real long walks. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And we were always lookin' |
| + | |
| + | for this guy named Charlie. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hold it up! |
| + | |
| + | - Hold up, boys! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It wasn't always fun. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan was always getting |
| + | |
| + | these funny feelings |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | about a rock or a trail or the road, |
| + | |
| + | so he'd tell us to get down, shut up. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Get down! Shut up! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So we did. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I don't know much about anything, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but I think some of America's |
| + | |
| + | best young men served in this war. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There was Dallas from Phoenix. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Cleveland, he was from Detroit. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hey, Tex. What the hell's going on? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And Tex was... Well, I don't |
| + | |
| + | remember where Tex come from. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Ah, nothing. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Fourth platoon, on your feet. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Y'all got clicks |
| + | |
| + | to go to that river. Move out. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - One, two, hup! |
| + | |
| + | - Step it up! Look alive out there. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The good thing about Vietnam |
| + | |
| + | is there was always someplace to go. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Fire in the hole! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Gump, check out that hole. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And there was always something to do. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mount 'em up! |
| + | |
| + | Spread out! Cover his back! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | One day it started raining, |
| + | |
| + | and it didn't quit for four months. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We've been through every |
| + | |
| + | kind of rain there is. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Little bitty stinging rain |
| + | |
| + | and big old fat rain, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | rain that flew in sideways, |
| + | |
| + | and sometimes rain even seemed |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | to come straight up from underneath. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Shoot, it even rained at night. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hey, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | - Hey, Bubba. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm going to lean up against you. |
| + | |
| + | You lean up against me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This way we don't have to sleep |
| + | |
| + | with our heads in the mud. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You know why |
| + | |
| + | we're a good partnership, Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'Cause we be watching out for one |
| + | |
| + | another, like brothers and stuff. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hey, Forrest, |
| + | |
| + | something I been thinking about. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I got a very important question |
| + | |
| + | to ask you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | How would you like to go |
| + | |
| + | into the shrimping business with me? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - OK. |
| + | |
| + | - Man, I tell you what. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I got it all figured out, too. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So many pounds of shrimp |
| + | |
| + | will pay off the boat. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So many pounds for gas. |
| + | |
| + | We'll live right on the boat. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We ain't got to pay no rent. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We can just work it together, split |
| + | |
| + | everything right down the middle. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Man, I'm telling you, - . Hey, |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, all the shrimp you can eat. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's a fine idea. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bubba did have a fine idea. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I even wrote Jenny |
| + | |
| + | and told her all about it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I sent her letters. |
| + | |
| + | Not every day, but almost. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I told her what I was doing |
| + | |
| + | and asked her what she was doing, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and told her |
| + | |
| + | how I thought about her always. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And how I was looking forward |
| + | |
| + | to getting a letter from her |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | just as soon as she had the time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'd always let her know |
| + | |
| + | that I was OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Then I'd sign each letter |
| + | |
| + | "Love, Forrest Gump." |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This one day, |
| + | |
| + | we was out walking like always, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and then, just like that, |
| + | |
| + | somebody turned off the rain, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and the sun come out. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Ambush! Take cover! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Get that pig up here, God damn it! |
| + | |
| + | - Forrest, are you OK? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Strong Arm, Strong Arm! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - We've got a man down. |
| + | |
| + | - Strong Arm, this is Leg Lima ! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Roger, Strong Arm! We have incoming |
| + | |
| + | from the treeline at Point Blue... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | ...plus two! A.K. S and rockets! |
| + | |
| + | We're getting it hard! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Misfire! Misfire! |
| + | |
| + | - God damn it! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Get that pig unfucked |
| + | |
| + | and put it in the treeline! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They got us down, hard and hurt. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We're going to move back |
| + | |
| + | to the blue line. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Pull back! Pull back! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Forrest! Run, Forrest! |
| + | |
| + | - Pull back! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Run! Run, man! Run! |
| + | |
| + | - Pull back, Gump! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Run, God damn it! Run! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I ran and ran |
| + | |
| + | just like Jenny told me to. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I ran so far so fast that soon I was |
| + | |
| + | all by myself, which was a bad thing. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bubba was my best good friend. |
| + | |
| + | I had to make sure he was OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Where the hell are you? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And on my way back to find Bubba, |
| + | |
| + | there was a boy laying on the ground. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Tex. OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I couldn't let him lay there |
| + | |
| + | all alone, scared the way he was, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | so I grabbed him up |
| + | |
| + | and run him out of there. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Every time I went back |
| + | |
| + | looking for Bubba, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | somebody else was saying, |
| + | |
| + | "Help me, Forrest, help me!" |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | OK. Here. Here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No sweat, man. |
| + | |
| + | Lay back. You'll be OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I started to get scared |
| + | |
| + | that I might never find Bubba. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I know my position is danger close! |
| + | |
| + | We got Charlie all over this area. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I got to have those fast movers |
| + | |
| + | in here now. Over. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan, Coleman's dead! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I know he's dead! My whole |
| + | |
| + | goddamn platoon is wiped out! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | God damn it! What are you doing? |
| + | |
| + | You leave me here! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Get away. |
| + | |
| + | Just leave me here! Get out! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | God, I said leave me here, |
| + | |
| + | God damn it! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Leg Lima six, this is strong-arm. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Be advised your fast |
| + | |
| + | movers are inbound. Over. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Then it felt like something |
| + | |
| + | just jumped up and bit me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Something bit me! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Goddamn son of a bitch! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I can't leave the platoon. |
| + | |
| + | I told you to leave me there, Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forget about me. Get yourself out! |
| + | |
| + | Did you hear what I said? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Gump, damn it, put me down. |
| + | |
| + | Get your ass out of here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I didn't ask you to pull me out |
| + | |
| + | of there, God damn you! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Where do you think you're going? |
| + | |
| + | - To get Bubba. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I got an air strike |
| + | |
| + | inbound right now. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They're going to nape the whole area. |
| + | |
| + | Stay here! That's an order. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I gotta find Bubba! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm OK, Forrest. I'm OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Bubba, no. |
| + | |
| + | - I'll be all right. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on. Come on. Come on. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm OK, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm OK. I'm fine. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Top smoke. Get it up there. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | If I'd have known this was going |
| + | |
| + | to be the last time me and Bubba |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | was gonna talk, I'd of thought |
| + | |
| + | of something better to say. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hey, Bubba. |
| + | |
| + | - Hey, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Forrest, why did this happen? |
| + | |
| + | - You got shot. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Then Bubba said something |
| + | |
| + | I won't ever forget. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I want to go home. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bubba was my best good friend. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And even I know that ain't something |
| + | |
| + | you can find just around the corner. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bubba was going to be |
| + | |
| + | a shrimping boat captain, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but instead, he died right |
| + | |
| + | there by that river in Vietnam. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's all I have to say about that. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was a bullet, wasn't it? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - A bullet? |
| + | |
| + | - That jumped up and bit you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes, sir. |
| + | |
| + | Bit me directly in the but-tocks. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They said it was a million |
| + | |
| + | dollar wound, but... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The army must keep that money, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'cause I still ain't seen a nickel |
| + | |
| + | of that million dollars. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The only good thing |
| + | |
| + | about being wounded in the but-tocks |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | is the ice cream. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They gave me all the ice cream |
| + | |
| + | I could eat. And guess what? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | A good friend of mine was |
| + | |
| + | in the bed right next door. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan, |
| + | |
| + | I got you some ice cream. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan, ice cream! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's time for your bath, |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Harper! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Cooper. Larson. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Webster. Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Gump! |
| + | |
| + | - I'm Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Kyle. Nichols. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | McMill. Johnson. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Gump, how can you watch |
| + | |
| + | that stupid shit? Turn it off. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You are tuned to the American Forces |
| + | |
| + | Vietnam Network. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This is Channel Saigon. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Good catch, Gump. |
| + | |
| + | You know how to play this? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on. Let me show you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The secret to this game is |
| + | |
| + | no matter what happens, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | never, ever take your eye |
| + | |
| + | off the ball. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | All right. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For some reason, ping-pong |
| + | |
| + | came very natural to me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | See? Any idiot can play. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I started playing it all the time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I played ping-pong even when I didn't |
| + | |
| + | have anyone to play ping-pong with. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The hospital's people said it |
| + | |
| + | made me look like a duck in water, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | whatever that means. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Even Lieutenant Dan |
| + | |
| + | would come and watch me play. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I played ping-pong so much, |
| + | |
| + | I even played it in my sleep. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, you listen to me. |
| + | |
| + | We all have a destiny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Nothing just happens. |
| + | |
| + | It's all part of a plan! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I should have died |
| + | |
| + | out there with my men, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but now, I'm nothing but |
| + | |
| + | a goddamn cripple, a legless freak! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Look. Look! Look at me! |
| + | |
| + | You see that? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Do you know what it's like |
| + | |
| + | not to be able to use your legs? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes, sir, I do. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Did you hear what I said? |
| + | |
| + | You cheated me! I had a destiny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I was supposed to die in the field |
| + | |
| + | with honour! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That was my destiny, |
| + | |
| + | and you cheated me out of it! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You understand what I'm saying, Gump? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This wasn't supposed to happen, |
| + | |
| + | not to me. I had a destiny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I was Lieutenant Dan Taylor. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You're still Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Look at me. |
| + | |
| + | What am I going to do now? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What am I going to do now? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | PFC Gump? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Yes, sir! |
| + | |
| + | - As you were. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Son, you been awarded |
| + | |
| + | the Medal of Honour. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Guess what, Lieutenant Dan? |
| + | |
| + | They want to give me a med... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Ma'am, what did they do |
| + | |
| + | with Lieutenant Dan? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They sent him home. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Two weeks later, I left Vietnam. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The ceremony was kicked off |
| + | |
| + | with a candid speech by the President |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | regarding the need for further |
| + | |
| + | escalation of the war in Vietnam. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | President Johnson awarded four medals |
| + | |
| + | of honour to men from each... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | America owes you |
| + | |
| + | a debt of gratitude, son. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I understand you were wounded. |
| + | |
| + | Where were you hit? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | In the but-tocks, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, that must be a sight. |
| + | |
| + | I'd kinda like to see that. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | God damn, son! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | After that, Mama went |
| + | |
| + | to the hotel to lay down, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | so I went out for a walk |
| + | |
| + | to see our capital. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hilary! I got the vets. |
| + | |
| + | What do you want to do with them? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's a good thing Mama was resting, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'cause the streets was |
| + | |
| + | awful crowded with people |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | lookin' at all the statues |
| + | |
| + | and monuments, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and some of them people |
| + | |
| + | were loud and pushy. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | OK, follow me! Move it out! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Everywhere I went, |
| + | |
| + | I had to stand in line. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on. Go! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You're a good man |
| + | |
| + | for doing this. Good. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There was this man |
| + | |
| + | giving a little talk. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And for some reason, he was wearing |
| + | |
| + | an American flag for a shirt. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And he liked to say |
| + | |
| + | the "F" Word a lot. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | "F" This and "F" That. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And every time he said the "F" Word, |
| + | |
| + | people, for some reason, cheered. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on, man. Come up here, man. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on. Come on. Yeah, you! |
| + | |
| + | Come on. Move, move! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Go on. Let's get up there. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Tell us a little bit |
| + | |
| + | about the war, man. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - The war in Vietnam? |
| + | |
| + | - The war in Viet-fuckin'-nam! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There was only one thing |
| + | |
| + | I could say about the war in Vietnam. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There's only one thing |
| + | |
| + | I can say about the war in Vietnam. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | In Vietnam... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What the hell are you do... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll beat your head in, |
| + | |
| + | you goddamn oinker! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jesus Christ! |
| + | |
| + | What did they do with this? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Can't hear you! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Can't hear anything! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This... This one! Give me that! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Speak up! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And that's all I have to say |
| + | |
| + | about that. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's so right on, man. |
| + | |
| + | You said it all. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - What's your name, man? |
| + | |
| + | - My name is Forrest. Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | - Gump! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was the happiest moment |
| + | |
| + | of my life. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny and me were just |
| + | |
| + | like peas and carrots again. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She showed me around and introduced |
| + | |
| + | me to some of her new friends. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Shut that blind, man! And get your |
| + | |
| + | white ass away from that window. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Don't you know we in a war here? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - He's cool. He's one of us. |
| + | |
| + | - Let me tell you about us. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Our purpose here |
| + | |
| + | is to protect our black leaders |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | from the racial onslaught of the pig |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | who wishes to brutalise |
| + | |
| + | our black leaders, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | rape our women, |
| + | |
| + | and destroy our black communities. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Who's the baby killer? |
| + | |
| + | - This is my friend I told you about. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This is Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, this is Wesley. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Wesley and I |
| + | |
| + | lived together in Berkeley, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and he's the president |
| + | |
| + | of the Berkeley chapter of SDS. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We are here to offer |
| + | |
| + | protection and help |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | for all those who need our help, |
| + | |
| + | because we, the Black Panthers, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | are against the war in Vietnam. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We are against any war where black |
| + | |
| + | soldiers are sent to the front line |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | to die for a country that hates them. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We are against any war |
| + | |
| + | where black soldiers go to fight |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and come to be brutalised |
| + | |
| + | and killed in their own communities. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We are against all these racist |
| + | |
| + | and imperial acts... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest! Stop it! Stop it! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I shouldn't have brought you here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I should have known it was going |
| + | |
| + | to be some bullshit hassle! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He should not be hitting you, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sorry I had a fight in the middle |
| + | |
| + | of your Black Panther party. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He doesn't mean it |
| + | |
| + | when he does things like this. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I would never hurt you, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I know you wouldn't, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | - I wanted to be your boyfriend. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That uniform is a trip, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | You look handsome in it. You do. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - You know what? |
| + | |
| + | - What? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm glad we were here together |
| + | |
| + | in our nation's capital. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Me, too, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We walked around all night, |
| + | |
| + | Jenny and me, just talkin'. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She told me about |
| + | |
| + | all the travelling she'd done |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and how she discovered |
| + | |
| + | ways to expand her mind |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and learn how to live in harmony, |
| + | |
| + | which must be out west somewhere, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'cause she made it |
| + | |
| + | all the way to California. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hey. Anybody |
| + | |
| + | want to go to San Francisco? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I'll go. |
| + | |
| + | - Far out! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was a very special night |
| + | |
| + | for the two of us. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I didn't want it to end. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Wish you wouldn't go, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | - I have to, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny? |
| + | |
| + | Things got a little out of hand. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's just this war and that lying |
| + | |
| + | son of a bitch Johnson and... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I would never hurt you. |
| + | |
| + | You know that. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Know what I think? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I think you should go home |
| + | |
| + | to Greenbow, Alabama! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, we have very different |
| + | |
| + | lives, you know. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I want you to have this. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, I can't keep this. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I got it just by doing |
| + | |
| + | what you told me to do. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Why are you so good to me? |
| + | |
| + | - You're my girl. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll always be your girl. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And just like that, |
| + | |
| + | she was gone out of my life again. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's one small step for man, |
| + | |
| + | one giant leap for mankind. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I thought I was going back |
| + | |
| + | to Vietnam, but instead they decided |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | the best way for me to fight |
| + | |
| + | the communists was to play ping-pong, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | so I was in the Special Services, |
| + | |
| + | travelling around the country, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | cheering up wounded veterans and |
| + | |
| + | showing 'em how to play ping-pong. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I was so good, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | the Army decided I should be |
| + | |
| + | on the All-American ping-pong team. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We were the first Americans |
| + | |
| + | to visit the land of China |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | in a million years or something. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Somebody said world peace |
| + | |
| + | was in our hands, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but all I did was play ping-pong. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | When I got home, |
| + | |
| + | I was a national celebrity, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | famouser even than Captain Kangaroo. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Here he is, Forrest Gump. Right here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Forrest Gump, John Lennon. |
| + | |
| + | - Welcome home. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Can you tell us, what was China like? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | In the land of China, |
| + | |
| + | people hardly got nothin' at all. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No possessions? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And in China, |
| + | |
| + | they never go to church. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - No religion, too? |
| + | |
| + | - Hard to imagine. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, it's easy if you try, Dick. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Some years later, |
| + | |
| + | that nice young man from England |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | was on his way home to see his little |
| + | |
| + | boy and was signing some autographs. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For no particular reason at all, |
| + | |
| + | somebody shot him. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They gave you |
| + | |
| + | The Congressional Medal of Honour. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, that's Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They gave you |
| + | |
| + | the Congressional Medal of Honour. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes, sir. They surely did. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They gave you, an imbecile, |
| + | |
| + | a moron who goes on television |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and makes a fool out of himself |
| + | |
| + | in front of the whole damn country, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | the Congressional Medal of Honour. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, that's just perfect! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, I just got one thing to say |
| + | |
| + | to that. Goddamn bless America. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan |
| + | |
| + | said he was living in a hotel. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Because he didn't have no legs, he |
| + | |
| + | spent his time exercising his arms. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Take a right. Take a right! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on, already! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What do you do here in New York, |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm living off the government tit. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Are you blind? I'm walking here! |
| + | |
| + | Get out! Come on. Go, go, go! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I stayed with Lieutenant Dan |
| + | |
| + | and celebrated the holidays. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You have a great year, |
| + | |
| + | and hurry home. God bless you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Have you found Jesus yet, Gump? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I didn't know I was supposed |
| + | |
| + | to be looking for him, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's all these cripples at the VA, |
| + | |
| + | that's all they ever talk about. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jesus this and Jesus that. |
| + | |
| + | Have I found Jesus? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They even had a priest |
| + | |
| + | come and talk to me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He said God is listening, |
| + | |
| + | but I have to help myself. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, if I accept Jesus into my heart, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll get to walk beside him |
| + | |
| + | in the kingdom of heaven. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Did you hear what I said? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Walk beside him |
| + | |
| + | in the kingdom of heaven. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, kiss my crippled ass. God |
| + | |
| + | is listening? What a crock of shit. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm going to heaven, Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Before you go, why don't you |
| + | |
| + | get your ass down to the corner |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - and get us more ripple? |
| + | |
| + | - Yes, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We're at approximately th street |
| + | |
| + | in New York City at One Astor Plaza. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This is the site |
| + | |
| + | of the old Astor Hotel... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - What the hell is in Bayou La Batre? |
| + | |
| + | - Shrimping boats. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Shrimping boats? Who gives a shit |
| + | |
| + | about shrimping boats? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I got to buy me one |
| + | |
| + | soon as I have some money. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I promised Bubba in Vietnam |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | that as soon as the war was over, |
| + | |
| + | we'd be partners. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He'd be the captain |
| + | |
| + | and I'd be his first mate. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But now that he's dead, |
| + | |
| + | I got to be the captain. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | A shrimp boat captain. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes, sir. A promise is a promise, |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now hear this! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Private Gump here is gonna be |
| + | |
| + | a shrimp boat captain. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Tell you what, Gilligan. The day |
| + | |
| + | you are a shrimp boat captain, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I will come and be your first mate. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | If you're ever a shrimp boat captain, |
| + | |
| + | that's the day I'm an astronaut! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Danny, what are you complaining |
| + | |
| + | about? How you doing? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Mr Hot Wheels. Who's your friend? |
| + | |
| + | - My name is Forrest. Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This is Cunning Carla |
| + | |
| + | and Long-limbs Lenore. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So where you been, babycakes? |
| + | |
| + | Haven't seen you around lately. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You should have been here |
| + | |
| + | for Christmas, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'cause Tommy bought a free round |
| + | |
| + | and gave everybody a turkey sandwich. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, I had company. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We was just there! |
| + | |
| + | That's Times Square. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Don't you just love New Year's? |
| + | |
| + | You can start all over. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Everybody gets a second chance. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's funny, |
| + | |
| + | but in the middle of all that fun, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I began to think about Jenny, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | wondering how she was spending her |
| + | |
| + | New Year's night out in California. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Nine, eight, seven, six, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | five, four, three, two, one! |
| + | |
| + | Happy New Year! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Happy New Year, Lieutenant Dan! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What are you, stupid or something? |
| + | |
| + | What's your problem? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What's his problem? Did you lose |
| + | |
| + | your packet in the war or something? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Is your friend stupid or something? |
| + | |
| + | - What did you say? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I said is your friend |
| + | |
| + | stupid or something? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Don't call him stupid! |
| + | |
| + | - Hey, don't push her! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You shut up! |
| + | |
| + | Don't you ever call him stupid! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Why you so upset? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Get your goddamn clothes |
| + | |
| + | and get the hell out of here! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You should be in a sideshow. |
| + | |
| + | You're so pathetic! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Get out of here! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - You retard! |
| + | |
| + | - Loser. You freak! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Oh, no. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm sorry I ruined your New Year's |
| + | |
| + | Eve party, Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She tastes like cigarettes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I guess Lieutenant Dan figured |
| + | |
| + | there's some things you can't change. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He didn't want to be called crippled |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | like I didn't want |
| + | |
| + | to be called stupid. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Happy New Year, Gump. |

| + | The U.S. Ping-pong team met |
| + | |
| + | with President Nixon today... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Wouldn't you know it? |
| + | |
| + | A few months later, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | they invited me and the ping-pong |
| + | |
| + | team to visit the White House. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I went, again. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And I met the President |
| + | |
| + | of the United States again. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Only this time, they didn't get us |
| + | |
| + | rooms in a real fancy hotel. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Are you enjoying yourself |
| + | |
| + | in our nation's capital, young man? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Where are you staying? |
| + | |
| + | - It's called the Hotel Ebbott. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Oh, no. I know a much nicer hotel. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's brand-new. Very modern. |
| + | |
| + | I'll have my people take care of it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Security. |
| + | |
| + | - Yeah. Sir... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You might want to send a maintenance |
| + | |
| + | man to that office across the way. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The lights are off and they must be |
| + | |
| + | looking for a fuse box, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'cause them flashlights, |
| + | |
| + | they're keeping me awake. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - OK, sir. I'll check it out. |
| + | |
| + | - Thank you. Good night. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Therefore, |
| + | |
| + | I shall resign the presidency |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | effective at noon tomorrow. |
| + | |
| + | Vice President Ford |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | will be sworn in as President |
| + | |
| + | at that hour in this office. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | - Yes, sir! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | As you were. I have your |
| + | |
| + | discharge papers. Service is up, son. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Does this mean |
| + | |
| + | I can't play ping-pong no more? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For the Army, it does. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And just like that, my service |
| + | |
| + | in the United States Army was over. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I went home. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I'm home, Mama. |
| + | |
| + | - I know. I know. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Louise, he's here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | When I got home, I had no idea, |
| + | |
| + | but Mama'd had all sorts of visitors. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We've had all sorts of visitors. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Everybody wants you to use |
| + | |
| + | their ping-pong stuff. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | One man even left a check for $ |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | if you'd be agreeable to saying |
| + | |
| + | you like using their paddle. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I only like using my own paddle. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hi, Miss Louise. |
| + | |
| + | - Hey, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I know that, |
| + | |
| + | but it's $ Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I thought maybe |
| + | |
| + | you could hold it for a while, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | see if it grows on you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That Mama, she sure was right. |
| + | |
| + | It's funny how things work out. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I didn't stay home for long |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | because I'd made a promise to Bubba, |
| + | |
| + | and I always try to keep my promise, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | so I went on down to Bayou La Batre |
| + | |
| + | to meet Bubba's family. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Are you crazy or just plain stupid? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Stupid is as stupid does, Mrs Blue. |
| + | |
| + | - I guess. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And, of course, |
| + | |
| + | I paid my respect to Bubba himself. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hey, Bubba. It's me, Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I remember everything you said, |
| + | |
| + | and I got it all figured out. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm taking $ . that I got, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | that's left after a new haircut |
| + | |
| + | and a new suit |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and I took Mama out |
| + | |
| + | to a real fancy dinner, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and I bought a bus ticket, |
| + | |
| + | and three Dr Peppers. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Tell me something. |
| + | |
| + | Are you stupid or something? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Stupid is as stupid does, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's what's left after me saying, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | "When I was in China |
| + | |
| + | on the All-America ping-pong team, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | "I just loved playing ping-pong |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | "with my Flex-o-lite |
| + | |
| + | ping-pong paddle," |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | which everybody knows isn't true, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but Mama said it was just a little |
| + | |
| + | white lie, it wasn't hurting nobody. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So anyway, |
| + | |
| + | I'm putting all that on gas, ropes, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and new nets |
| + | |
| + | and a brand-new shrimping boat. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bubba told me everything |
| + | |
| + | he knew about shrimping, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but you know what I found out? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Shrimping is tough. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I only caught five. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | A couple more, |
| + | |
| + | you can have yourself a cocktail. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You ever think about |
| + | |
| + | naming this old boat? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's bad luck |
| + | |
| + | to have a boat without a name. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'd never named a boat before, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but there was only one |
| + | |
| + | I could think of, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | the most beautiful name |
| + | |
| + | in the wide world. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I hadn't heard from Jenny in a long |
| + | |
| + | while, but I thought about her a lot. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I hoped whatever she was doing |
| + | |
| + | made her happy. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I thought about Jenny all the time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan, |
| + | |
| + | what are you doing here? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, thought I'd try out |
| + | |
| + | my sea legs. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, you ain't got no legs, |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes, I know that. |
| + | |
| + | You wrote me a letter, you idiot. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, well. Captain Forrest Gump. |
| + | |
| + | I had to see this for myself. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And I told you if you were |
| + | |
| + | ever a shrimp boat captain, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | that I'd be your first mate. |
| + | |
| + | Well, here I am. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I'm a man of my word. |
| + | |
| + | - OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But don't you be thinking that |
| + | |
| + | I'm going to be calling you "Sir." |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No, sir. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's my boat. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I have a feeling if we head due east, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | we'll find some shrimp. |
| + | |
| + | So take a left. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Take a left! |
| + | |
| + | - Which way? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Over there! They're over there! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Get on the wheel and take a left. |
| + | |
| + | - OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Gump, what are you doing? |
| + | |
| + | Take a left! Left! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's where we're going |
| + | |
| + | to find those shrimp, my boy! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's where we'll find them. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Still no shrimp, Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | - OK, so I was wrong. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | How are we going to find them? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Maybe you should |
| + | |
| + | just pray for shrimp. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I went to church every Sunday. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sometimes Lieutenant Dan came too, |
| + | |
| + | though he left the praying up to me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - No shrimp. |
| + | |
| + | - Where the hell's this God of yours? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that, |
| + | |
| + | 'cause right then God showed up. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You'll never sink this boat! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, me, I was scared, |
| + | |
| + | but Lieutenant Dan, he was mad. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You call this a storm? |
| + | |
| + | Come on, you son of a bitch! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's time for a showdown! You and me! |
| + | |
| + | I'm right here! Come and get me! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You'll never sink this boat! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hurricane Carmen |
| + | |
| + | came through here yesterday, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | destroying nearly everything |
| + | |
| + | in its path. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And as in other towns |
| + | |
| + | up and down the coast, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bayou La Batre's |
| + | |
| + | entire shrimping industry |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | has fallen victim to Carmen |
| + | |
| + | and has been left in utter ruin. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This reporter has learned, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | in fact, only one shrimping boat |
| + | |
| + | actually survived the storm. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Louise. Louise, there's Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | After that, shrimping was easy. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Since people still needed |
| + | |
| + | them shrimps for shrimp cocktails |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and barbecues and all, and we were |
| + | |
| + | the only boat left standing, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bubba-Gump shrimp's what they got. |
| + | |
| + | We got a whole bunch of boats. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Twelve Jennys, big old warehouse. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We even have hats |
| + | |
| + | that say "Bubba-Gump" on them. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Bubba-Gump Shrimp. A household name. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hold on there, boy. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Are you telling me you're the owner |
| + | |
| + | of the Bubba-Gump Shrimp Corporation? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes. We got more money |
| + | |
| + | than Davy Crockett. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Boy, I heard some whoppers |
| + | |
| + | in my time, but that tops them all. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We were sitting |
| + | |
| + | next to a millionaire. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, I thought it was |
| + | |
| + | a very lovely story, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and you tell it so well, |
| + | |
| + | with such enthusiasm. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Would you like to see |
| + | |
| + | what Lieutenant Dan looks like? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes, I would. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That's him right there. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Let me tell you something |
| + | |
| + | about Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I never thanked you |
| + | |
| + | for saving my life. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He never actually said so, but |
| + | |
| + | I think he made his peace with God. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For the second time in days, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | President Ford escaped |
| + | |
| + | possible assassination today. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Base to Jenny . Base to Jenny . |
| + | |
| + | - Jenny . Go, Margo. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest has a phone call. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, you'll have to tell them |
| + | |
| + | to call him back. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - He is indisposed at the moment. |
| + | |
| + | - His mama's sick. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Where's Mama? |
| + | |
| + | - She's upstairs. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hi, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I'll see you tomorrow. |
| + | |
| + | - All right. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sure got you straightened out, |
| + | |
| + | didn't we, boy? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - What's the matter, Mama? |
| + | |
| + | - I'm dying, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Come on in, sit down over here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Why are you dying, Mama? |
| + | |
| + | - It's my time. It's just my time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, don't you be afraid, sweetheart. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Death is just a part of life. |
| + | |
| + | Something we're all destined to do. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I didn't know it, |
| + | |
| + | but I was destined to be your mama. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I did the best I could. |
| + | |
| + | - You did good. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, I happen to believe |
| + | |
| + | you make your own destiny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You have to do the best |
| + | |
| + | with what God gave you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What's my destiny, Mama? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You're going to have |
| + | |
| + | to figure that out for yourself. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You never know |
| + | |
| + | what you're going to get. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama always had a way of explaining |
| + | |
| + | things so I could understand them. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I will miss you, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She had got the cancer |
| + | |
| + | and died on a Tuesday. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I bought her a new hat |
| + | |
| + | with little flowers on it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And that's all |
| + | |
| + | I have to say about that. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Didn't you say you were waiting |
| + | |
| + | for the number seven bus? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There'll be another one |
| + | |
| + | along shortly. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, because I had been |
| + | |
| + | a football star and war hero |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and national celebrity |
| + | |
| + | and a shrimping boat captain |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and a college graduate, the city |
| + | |
| + | fathers of Greenbow, Alabama, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | decided to get together |
| + | |
| + | and offered me a fine job. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I never went back |
| + | |
| + | to work for Lieutenant Dan, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | though he did take care |
| + | |
| + | of my Bubba-Gump money. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He got me invested |
| + | |
| + | in some kind of fruit company. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I got a call from him saying we don't |
| + | |
| + | have to worry about money no more, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and I said, |
| + | |
| + | "That's good. One less thing." |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now Mama said there's only |
| + | |
| + | so much fortune a man really needs, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and the rest is just for showing off. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I gave a whole bunch of it |
| + | |
| + | to the Foursquare Gospel Church. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And I gave a whole bunch to the |
| + | |
| + | Bayou La Batre fishing hospital. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And even though Bubba was dead |
| + | |
| + | and Lieutenant Dan said I was nuts, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I gave Bubba's mama Bubba's share. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You know what? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She didn't have to work |
| + | |
| + | in nobody's kitchen no more. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That smells wonderful. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And 'cause I was a gozillionaire |
| + | |
| + | and I liked doing it so much, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I cut that grass for free. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But at night-time |
| + | |
| + | when there was nothing to do |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and the house was all empty, |
| + | |
| + | I'd always think of Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And then, she was there. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hello, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | - Hello, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny came back and stayed with me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Maybe it was because |
| + | |
| + | she had nowhere else to go, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | or maybe it was because she was |
| + | |
| + | so tired, 'cause she went to bed |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and slept and slept, |
| + | |
| + | like she hadn't slept in years. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was wonderful having her home. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Every day we'd take a walk, and I'd |
| + | |
| + | jabber on like a monkey in a tree, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and she'd listen about |
| + | |
| + | ping-ponging and shrimping |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and Mama making a trip up to heaven. |
| + | |
| + | I did all the talking. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Jenny most of the time |
| + | |
| + | was real quiet. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | How could you do this? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sometimes I guess there |
| + | |
| + | just aren't enough rocks. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I never really knew |
| + | |
| + | why she came back, but I didn't care. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was like olden times. |
| + | |
| + | We was like peas and carrots again. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Every day, I'd pick pretty flowers |
| + | |
| + | and put them in her room for her, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and she gave me the best gift anyone |
| + | |
| + | could ever get in the wide world. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They're just for running. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And she even showed me how to dance. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Well, we was like family, |
| + | |
| + | Jenny and me... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and it was the happiest time |
| + | |
| + | in my life. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You done watching it? |
| + | |
| + | I'm going to bed. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Will you marry me? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'd make a good husband, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You would, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But you won't marry me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You don't want to marry me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Why don't you love me, Jenny? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm not a smart man, |
| + | |
| + | but I know what love is. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, I do love you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Where are you running off to? |
| + | |
| + | - I'm not running. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | That day, for no particular reason, |
| + | |
| + | I decided to go for a little run. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I ran to the end of the road, |
| + | |
| + | and when I got there |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I thought maybe I'd run |
| + | |
| + | to the end of town. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | President Carter, |
| + | |
| + | suffering from heat exhaustion... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And when I got there, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I thought maybe I'd just |
| + | |
| + | run across Greenbow County. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now, thinking since I'd run this far, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | maybe I'd just run across |
| + | |
| + | the great state of Alabama. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And that's what I did. |
| + | |
| + | I ran clear across Alabama. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No particular reason. |
| + | |
| + | I just kept on going. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I ran clear to the ocean. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And when I got there, |
| + | |
| + | I figured since I'd gone this far, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | might as well turn around, |
| + | |
| + | just keep on going. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And when I got to another ocean, |
| + | |
| + | I figured since I'd gone this far, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I might as well just turn back |
| + | |
| + | and keep right on going. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | When I got tired, I slept. |
| + | |
| + | When I got hungry, I ate. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | When I had to go... |
| + | |
| + | you know... I went. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - And so, you just ran. |
| + | |
| + | - Yeah. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'd think a lot about Mama |
| + | |
| + | and Bubba and Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But most of all, I thought about |
| + | |
| + | Jenny. I thought about her a lot. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For more than two years, |
| + | |
| + | a man named Forrest Gump, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | a gardener from Greenbow, Alabama, |
| + | |
| + | stopping only to sleep, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | has been running across America. |
| + | |
| + | Charles Cooper reports. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For the fourth time |
| + | |
| + | on his journey across America, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest Gump the gardener will cross |
| + | |
| + | the Mississippi River again today. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I'll be damned. Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | - Why are you running? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Are you doing this for world peace? |
| + | |
| + | - For the homeless? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Are you running for women's rights? |
| + | |
| + | - The environment? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | They couldn't believe somebody would |
| + | |
| + | do all that running for no reason. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Why are you doing this? |
| + | |
| + | - I just felt like running. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I just felt like runnin'. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's you. |
| + | |
| + | I can't believe it's really you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | For some reason, what I was doing |
| + | |
| + | seemed to make sense to people. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was like an alarm |
| + | |
| + | went off in my head. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I said, "Here's a guy |
| + | |
| + | that's got his act together. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | "Here's somebody who has the answer." |
| + | |
| + | I'll follow you anywhere, Mr Gump. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I got company. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And after that, I got more company. |
| + | |
| + | And then, even more people joined in. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Somebody later told me |
| + | |
| + | it gave people hope. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I don't know anything about that, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but some of those people asked me |
| + | |
| + | if I could help them out. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I was wondering if you might help me. |
| + | |
| + | I'm in the bumper sticker business. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I need a good slogan, and since |
| + | |
| + | you've been so inspirational, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I thought |
| + | |
| + | you might be able to help me... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Whoa, man! You just ran |
| + | |
| + | through a big pile of dog shit! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - It happens. |
| + | |
| + | - What, shit? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sometimes. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And some years later, I heard |
| + | |
| + | that that fella did come up |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | with a bumper sticker slogan |
| + | |
| + | and made a lot of money off of it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Another time, I was running along, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | somebody who'd lost all his money |
| + | |
| + | in the t-shirt business, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | he wanted to put my face |
| + | |
| + | on a t-shirt, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | but he couldn't draw that well, |
| + | |
| + | and he didn't have a camera. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Here, use this one. |
| + | |
| + | Nobody likes that colour anyway. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Have a nice day. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Some years later, |
| + | |
| + | I found out that that man did come up |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | with an idea for a t-shirt. |
| + | |
| + | He made a lot of money. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Anyway, like I was saying, |
| + | |
| + | I had a lot of company. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama always said, "Put the past |
| + | |
| + | behind you before you can move on." |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And I think |
| + | |
| + | that's what my running was all about. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I had run for three years, |
| + | |
| + | two months, days and hours. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Quiet. Quiet. |
| + | |
| + | He's going to say something. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm pretty tired. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Think I'll go home now. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Now what are we supposed to do? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And just like that, |
| + | |
| + | my runnin' days was over. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | So I went home to Alabama. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Moments ago, at . p.m., as |
| + | |
| + | President Reagan was leaving the... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | ...five or six gunshots were fired |
| + | |
| + | by an unknown would-be assassin. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | The President was shot |
| + | |
| + | in the chest... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I picked up the mail. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And one day, out of the blue clear |
| + | |
| + | sky, I got a letter from Jenny |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | wondering if I could come down |
| + | |
| + | to Savannah and see her, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and that's what I'm doing here. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | She saw me on TV, running. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm supposed to go on the number nine |
| + | |
| + | bus to Richmond Street |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and get off and go one block left |
| + | |
| + | to Henry Street, apartment . |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Why, you don't need to take a bus. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Henry Street is just five |
| + | |
| + | or six blocks down that way. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Down that way? |
| + | |
| + | - Down that way. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was nice talking to you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I hope everything works out for you! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - How you doin'? Come in! Come in! |
| + | |
| + | - I got your letter. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I was wondering about that. |
| + | |
| + | - This your house? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yeah. It's messy right now. |
| + | |
| + | I just got off work. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It's nice. You got air conditioning. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Thank you. |
| + | |
| + | - I ate some. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I kept a scrapbook of your clippings, |
| + | |
| + | and everything. There you are. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And this, I got you running. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I ran a long way. It's a long time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And there... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Listen, Forrest, |
| + | |
| + | I don't know how to say this. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I just I want to apologise |
| + | |
| + | for anything that I ever did to you |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | 'cause I was messed up |
| + | |
| + | for a long time, and... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hi. |
| + | |
| + | - Hey, you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - This is an old friend from Alabama. |
| + | |
| + | - How do you do? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Next week my schedule changes, |
| + | |
| + | so I can... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | No problem. Got to go. |
| + | |
| + | I'm double-parked. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | OK. Thanks. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This is my very good friend Mr Gump. |
| + | |
| + | Can you say hi? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hello, Mr Gump. |
| + | |
| + | - Hello. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Can I go watch TV now? |
| + | |
| + | - Yes. Just keep it low. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - You're a mama, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | - I'm a mama. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - His name's Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | - Like me! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I named him after his daddy. |
| + | |
| + | - He got a daddy named Forrest, too? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You're his daddy, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, look at me. |
| + | |
| + | Look at me, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There's nothing you need to do. |
| + | |
| + | You didn't do anything wrong. OK? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Isn't he beautiful? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He's the most beautiful thing |
| + | |
| + | I've ever seen. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Is he smart? Can he... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He's very smart. He's one |
| + | |
| + | of the smartest in his class. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yeah, it's OK. Go talk to him. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - What are you watching? |
| + | |
| + | - Bert and Ernie. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, I'm sick. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | What, do you have |
| + | |
| + | a cough due to a cold? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I have some virus, and the doctors, |
| + | |
| + | they don't know what it is, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and there isn't |
| + | |
| + | anything they can do about it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You could come home with me. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You and little Forrest could |
| + | |
| + | come stay at my house in Greenbow. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll take care of you if you're sick. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Would you marry me, Forrest? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Please take your seats. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest? It's time to start. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Hi. Your tie. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | - Hello, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You got new legs. New legs! |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yeah. I got new legs. Custom-made. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Titanium alloy. It's what they use |
| + | |
| + | on the space shuttle. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Magic legs. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | This is my fiancée, Susan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | - Hi, Forrest. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Lieutenant Dan, this is my Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | - Hi. It's nice to meet you finally. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Do you, Forrest, take Jenny |
| + | |
| + | to be your wife? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Do you, Jenny, |
| + | |
| + | take Forrest to be your husband? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And so I pronounce you man and wife. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - Hey. |
| + | |
| + | - Hi. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Were you scared in Vietnam? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Yes. Well, I don't know. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sometimes it would stop raining long |
| + | |
| + | enough for the stars to come out. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And then it was nice. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was like just before the sun |
| + | |
| + | goes to bed down on the bayou. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | There was always |
| + | |
| + | a million sparkles on the water. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Like that mountain lake. |
| + | |
| + | It was so clear, Jenny, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | it looked like there were two skies |
| + | |
| + | one on top of the other. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And then in the desert, |
| + | |
| + | when the sun comes up, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I couldn't tell where heaven stopped |
| + | |
| + | and the earth began. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | It was so beautiful. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I wish I could've been there |
| + | |
| + | with you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You were. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I love you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You died on a Saturday morning. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And I had you placed |
| + | |
| + | here under our tree. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And I had that house of your father's |
| + | |
| + | bulldozed to the ground. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Mama always said |
| + | |
| + | that dyin' was a part of life. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I sure wish it wasn't. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Little Forrest is doing just fine. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | About to start school again soon, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | and I make his breakfast, |
| + | |
| + | lunch, and dinner every day. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I make sure he combs his hair |
| + | |
| + | and brushes his teeth every day. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Teaching him how to play ping-pong. |
| + | |
| + | He's really good. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Forrest, you go. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | We fish a lot. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And every night, we read a book. |
| + | |
| + | He's so smart, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You'd be so proud of him. I am. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | He wrote you a letter. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | And he says I can't read it. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm not supposed to, |
| + | |
| + | so I'll just leave it here for you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I don't know if mama was right |
| + | |
| + | or if it's Lieutenant Dan. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I don't know if |
| + | |
| + | we each have a destiny, |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | or if we're all just floating around |
| + | |
| + | accidental-like on a breeze. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But I think maybe it's both. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Maybe both is happening |
| + | |
| + | at the same time. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | But I miss you, Jenny. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | If there's anything you need, |
| + | |
| + | I won't be far away. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Here's your bus. OK. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I know this. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'm gonna share that for |
| + | |
| + | show-and-tell |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | because Grandma |
| + | |
| + | used to read it to you. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | My favourite book. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Here you go. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Don't... |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - I want to tell you I love you. |
| + | |
| + | - I love you, too, Daddy. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | I'll be right here when you get back. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | You understand this is |
| + | |
| + | the bus to school, don't you? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Of course, and you're Dorothy Harris, |
| + | |
| + | and I'm Forrest Gump. |
