1
00:02:45,432 --> 00:02:47,100
(BUS APPROACHING)

2
00:03:09,322 --> 00:03:10,590
Hello.

3
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:14,227
My name's Forrest. Forrest Gump.

4
00:03:19,766 --> 00:03:21,801
Do you want a chocolate?

5
00:03:24,404 --> 00:03:27,807
I could eat about
a million and a half of these.

6
00:03:28,975 --> 00:03:34,180
My mama always said
life was like a box of chocolates.

7
00:03:36,182 --> 00:03:39,85
You never know what you're gonna get.

8
00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:48,828
Those must be comfortable shoes.

9
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:54,868
I'll bet you could walk all day
in shoes like that and not feel a thing.

10
00:03:57,103 --> 00:03:59,539
I wish I had shoes like that.

11
00:04:00,206 --> 00:04:01,775
My feet hurt.

12
00:04:02,976 --> 00:04:04,644
Mama always said there's an awful lot

13
00:04:04,711 --> 00:04:07,947
you could tell about a person
by their shoes:

14
00:04:09,49 --> 00:04:12,18
Where they're going,
where they've been.

15
00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:21,327
I've worn lots of shoes.

16
00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:29,235
I bet if I think about it real hard,
I could remember my first pair of shoes.

17
00:04:32,172 --> 00:04:34,808
Mama said they'd take me anywhere.

18
00:04:35,575 --> 00:04:38,211
She said they was my magic shoes.

19
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:41,481
All right, Forrest,
you can open your eyes now.

20
00:04:48,755 --> 00:04:51,224
Let's take a little walk around.

21
00:04:58,31 --> 00:04:59,833
How do those feel?

22
00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:04,938
His legs are strong, Mrs. Gump,

23
00:05:05,38 --> 00:05:07,540
as strong as I've ever seen,

24
00:05:07,607 --> 00:05:11,11
but his back is as crooked
as a politician.

25
00:05:12,278 --> 00:05:15,382
But we're gonna straighten him right up,
now, aren't we, Forrest?

26
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:16,583
Forrest!

27
00:05:18,84 --> 00:05:19,285
FORREST: Now, when I was a baby,

28
00:05:19,386 --> 00:05:22,222
Mama named me after
the great Civil War hero,

29
00:05:22,288 --> 00:05:24,724
General Nathan Bedford Forrest.

30
00:05:24,791 --> 00:05:27,27
She said we was related to him
in some way.

31
00:05:27,93 --> 00:05:28,461
And what he did was,

32
00:05:28,561 --> 00:05:32,799
he started up this club called
the Ku Klux Klan.

33
00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:36,236
They'd all dress up in their robes
and their bed sheets

34
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:40,640
and act like a bunch of ghosts
or spooks or something.

35
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:44,611
They'd even put bed sheets
on their horses and ride around.

36
00:05:44,711 --> 00:05:47,747
And anyway, that's how I got my name,

37
00:05:47,814 --> 00:05:49,249
Forrest Gump.

38
00:05:49,315 --> 00:05:51,84
Mama said that the "Forrest" part

39
00:05:51,151 --> 00:05:54,721
was to remind me that sometimes
we all do things that,

40
00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:57,590
well, just don't make no sense.

41
00:05:58,58 --> 00:05:59,59
(CLANG)

42
00:06:03,263 --> 00:06:06,766
Okay... Get it, get it...

43
00:06:06,833 --> 00:06:09,803
Wait, is it this way? Hold on.

44
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:12,238
All right...

45
00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:14,474
What are you all staring at?

46
00:06:14,574 --> 00:06:19,12
Haven't you ever seen a little boy
with braces on his legs before?

47
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:24,284
Don't ever let anybody tell you
they're better than you, Forrest.

48
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:26,953
If God intended
everybody to be the same,

49
00:06:27,20 --> 00:06:29,155
he'd have given us all braces
on our legs.

50
00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:30,957
FORREST: Mama always had a way of
explaining things

51
00:06:31,24 --> 00:06:33,26
so I could understand them.

52
00:06:34,494 --> 00:06:37,997
We lived about a quarter mile
off Route 17,

53
00:06:38,98 --> 00:06:41,134
about a half mile from
the town of Greenbow, Alabama.

54
00:06:41,201 --> 00:06:43,970
That's in the county of Greenbow.

55
00:06:44,37 --> 00:06:48,475
Our house had been in Mama's family
since her grandpa's grandpa's grandpa

56
00:06:48,541 --> 00:06:50,477
had come across the ocean
about 1,000 years ago,

57
00:06:50,543 --> 00:06:52,479
something like that.

58
00:06:52,545 --> 00:06:55,281
Since it was just me and Mama
and we had all these empty rooms,

59
00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,118
Mama decided to let those rooms out,

60
00:06:58,184 --> 00:07:00,153
mostly to people passing through,

61
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:04,190
like from, oh, Mobile,
Montgomery, places like that.

62
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:06,993
That's how me and Mama got money.

63
00:07:07,60 --> 00:07:09,829
Mama was a real smart lady.

64
00:07:09,896 --> 00:07:14,901
Remember what I told you, Forrest.
You're no different than anybody else is.

65
00:07:17,404 --> 00:07:19,806
Did you hear what I said, Forrest?

66
00:07:19,873 --> 00:07:24,44
You're the same as everybody else.
You are no different.

67
00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:29,15
Your boy's different, Mrs. Gump.

68
00:07:29,82 --> 00:07:31,317
Now, his IQ is 75.

69
00:07:32,85 --> 00:07:35,221
Well, we're all different, Mr. Hancock.

70
00:07:38,825 --> 00:07:40,860
FORREST: She wanted me to have
the finest education,

71
00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:44,864
so she took me to
the Greenbow County Central School.

72
00:07:44,931 --> 00:07:47,200
I met the principal and all.

73
00:07:47,701 --> 00:07:50,570
I want to show you something,
Mrs. Gump.

74
00:07:51,37 --> 00:07:53,907
Now, this is normal.

75
00:07:54,407 --> 00:07:57,711
Forrest is right here.

76
00:07:58,545 --> 00:08:04,84
The state requires a minimum IQ of
eighty to attend public school, Mrs. Gump.

77
00:08:04,584 --> 00:08:07,454
He's gonna have to go
to a special school.

78
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:09,689
Now, he'll be just fine.

79
00:08:10,457 --> 00:08:12,559
What does "normal" mean, anyway?

80
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:16,29
He might be a bit on the slow side,

81
00:08:17,130 --> 00:08:18,898
but my boy Forrest is gonna get

82
00:08:18,965 --> 00:08:21,534
the same opportunities
as everyone else.

83
00:08:21,601 --> 00:08:25,405
He's not going to some special school
to learn how to re-tread tires.

84
00:08:25,472 --> 00:08:28,641
We're talking about
five little points here.

85
00:08:30,377 --> 00:08:32,979
There must be something can be done.

86
00:08:34,581 --> 00:08:37,50
We're a progressive school system.

87
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:40,787
We don't want to see anybody
left behind.

88
00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:45,125
Is there a Mr. Gump, Mrs. Gump?

89
00:08:48,395 --> 00:08:50,263
He's on vacation.

90
00:08:57,70 --> 00:09:00,840
Well, your mama sure does care
about your schooling, son.

91
00:09:06,346 --> 00:09:08,815
You don't say much, do you?

92
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:14,921
"It looked easy, but,

93
00:09:16,122 --> 00:09:18,458
"oh, what happened.

94
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:21,561
- "First, there..."
- Mama, what's "vacation" mean?

95
00:09:22,95 --> 00:09:24,698
- Vacation?
- Where Daddy went.

96
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:30,36
Vacation's when you go somewhere

97
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:34,741
and you don't ever come back.

98
00:09:39,79 --> 00:09:42,882
FORREST: Anyway, I guess you could
say me and Mama was on our own.

99
00:09:44,84 --> 00:09:47,721
But we didn't mind.
Our house was never empty.

100
00:09:47,787 --> 00:09:50,390
There was always folks
coming and going.

101
00:09:50,457 --> 00:09:51,558
MRS. GUMP: Supper.

102
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:55,61
- It's supper, everyone. Forrest...
- My, my. That sure looks special.

103
00:09:55,128 --> 00:09:57,664
FORREST: Sometimes we had
so many people staying with us

104
00:09:57,764 --> 00:10:00,433
that every room
was filled with travelers.

105
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:04,137
You know, folks living out
of their suitcases

106
00:10:04,237 --> 00:10:07,173
and hat cases and sample cases.

107
00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:10,677
Forrest Gump, it's suppertime! Forrest...

108
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:13,313
One time, a young man
was staying with us,

109
00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:17,17
and he had him a guitar case.

110
00:10:25,158 --> 00:10:27,994
(SINGING HOUND DOG)

111
00:10:30,997 --> 00:10:35,1
Forrest! I told you not to bother
this nice young man.

112
00:10:35,101 --> 00:10:36,436
ELVIS PRESLEY:
Oh, no, that's all right, ma'am.

113
00:10:36,503 --> 00:10:39,339
I was just showing him a thing or two
on the guitar here.

114
00:10:39,439 --> 00:10:42,375
All right, but your supper's ready
if y'all want to eat.

115
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:45,445
Yeah, that sounds good.
Thank you, ma'am.

116
00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:49,683
Say, man, show me that crazy
little walk you just did there.

117
00:10:49,783 --> 00:10:51,651
Slow it down some.

118
00:10:51,851 --> 00:10:53,687
(SINGING HOUND DOG)

119
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:55,689
FORREST: I liked that guitar.

120
00:10:56,356 --> 00:10:58,124
It sounded good.

121
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:04,64
I started moving around to the music,

122
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:05,999
swinging my hips.

123
00:11:08,568 --> 00:11:11,137
This one night,
me and Mama was out shopping,

124
00:11:11,204 --> 00:11:14,207
and we walked right by
Benson's furniture and appliance store,

125
00:11:14,307 --> 00:11:15,875
and guess what?

126
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:20,647
(SINGING HOUND DOG)

127
00:11:28,221 --> 00:11:31,57
This is not for children's eyes.

128
00:11:33,593 --> 00:11:35,395
Some years later,
that handsome young man

129
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:38,31
who they called "The King,"

130
00:11:38,98 --> 00:11:40,433
well, he'd sung too many songs,

131
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:43,670
had himself a heart attack,
or something.

132
00:11:44,738 --> 00:11:46,906
Must be hard being a king.

133
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:54,47
You know, it's funny how you remember
some things, but some things you can't.

134
00:11:54,781 --> 00:11:58,685
- You do your very best now, Forrest.
- I sure will, Mama.

135
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:04,958
FORREST: I remember the bus ride
on the first day of school very well.

136
00:12:08,528 --> 00:12:10,230
Are you coming along?

137
00:12:10,296 --> 00:12:13,800
Mama said not to be taking
rides from strangers.

138
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:16,69
This is the bus to school.

139
00:12:19,39 --> 00:12:21,274
I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.

140
00:12:22,242 --> 00:12:26,246
- I'm Dorothy Harris.
- Well, now we ain't strangers anymore.

141
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,61
This seat's taken.

142
00:12:43,496 --> 00:12:44,998
It's taken!

143
00:12:52,906 --> 00:12:54,774
You can't sit here.

144
00:12:56,943 --> 00:13:00,347
FORREST: You know, it's funny what
a young man recollects,

145
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:02,816
'cause I don't remember being born.

146
00:13:04,451 --> 00:13:06,619
I don't recall what I got
for my first Christmas,

147
00:13:06,686 --> 00:13:09,789
and I don't know when I went
on my first outdoor picnic.

148
00:13:09,856 --> 00:13:14,594
But I do remember the first time I heard

149
00:13:14,661 --> 00:13:17,497
the sweetest voice in the wide world.

150
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:20,367
JENNY: You can sit here if you want.

151
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:27,173
I had never seen anything
so beautiful in my life.

152
00:13:27,874 --> 00:13:29,976
She was like an angel.

153
00:13:30,43 --> 00:13:32,979
Well, are you gonna sit down,
or aren't you?

154
00:13:37,951 --> 00:13:39,719
What's wrong with your legs?

155
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:44,57
Nothing at all, thank you.
My legs are just fine and dandy.

156
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:47,160
I just sat next to her on that bus

157
00:13:47,227 --> 00:13:49,329
and had a conversation
all the way to school.

158
00:13:49,396 --> 00:13:52,132
...my back's crooked like
a question mark.

159
00:13:52,198 --> 00:13:53,366
These are going to make me...

160
00:13:53,466 --> 00:13:58,204
And next to Mama, no one ever
talked to me or asked me questions.

161
00:13:58,738 --> 00:14:00,707
Are you stupid or something?

162
00:14:00,807 --> 00:14:03,810
Mama says, "Stupid is as stupid does."

163
00:14:05,412 --> 00:14:09,82
- I'm Jenny.
- I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.

164
00:14:09,749 --> 00:14:11,584
From that day on,
we was always together.

165
00:14:11,685 --> 00:14:14,521
Jenny and me was like
peas and carrots.

166
00:14:18,91 --> 00:14:19,726
She taught me how to climb.

167
00:14:19,826 --> 00:14:22,529
Come on, Forrest, you can do it.

168
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:25,231
I showed her how to dangle.

169
00:14:25,331 --> 00:14:27,367
"...a good little monkey and..."

170
00:14:27,434 --> 00:14:32,372
She helped me learn how to read,
and I showed her how to swing.

171
00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:38,445
Sometimes we'd just sit out
and wait for the stars.

172
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:43,450
- Mama's gonna worry about me.
- Just stay a little longer.

173
00:14:44,718 --> 00:14:48,455
For some reason,
Jenny didn't never want to go home.

174
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:50,623
Okay, Jenny, I'll stay.

175
00:14:51,458 --> 00:14:54,227

miracles happen every day.

Some people don't think so, but they do.

but I can run like the wind blows.

That boy sure is a running fool.

196
00:17:26,179 --> 00:17:27,547
Now, remember how I told you that

197
00:17:27,614 --> 00:17:30,550
Jenny never seemed
to want to go home?

198
00:17:30,617 --> 00:17:33,720
Well, she lived in a house
that was as old as Alabama.

199
00:17:33,787 --> 00:17:35,955
Her mama had gone up to heaven
when she was five,

200
00:17:36,56 --> 00:17:39,392
and her daddy was
some kind of a farmer.

201

Jenny?

202
00:17:42,362 --> 00:17:44,497
He was a very loving man.

203
00:17:44,964 --> 00:17:49,235
He was always kissing and touching
her and her sisters.

204
00:17:50,970 --> 00:17:55,408
And then this one time,
Jenny wasn't on the bus to go to school.

205

Jenny, why didn't you come
to school today?

Jenny, where'd you run to?

210
00:18:08,722 --> 00:18:11,358

00:18:17,897 --> 00:18:21,167

Dear God, make me a bird

222
00:18:44,391 --> 00:18:46,726
He didn't turn Jenny into a bird that day.

You'd better get back here!

224
00:18:48,28 --> 00:18:49,529
Instead,

225
00:18:50,196 --> 00:18:54,734
he had the police say Jenny didn't
have to stay in that house no more.

226
00:18:55,201 --> 00:18:58,905
She went to live with her grandma
just over on Creekmore Avenue,

227
00:18:59,39 --> 00:19:02,208
which made me happy,
'cause she was so close.

228
00:19:04,811 --> 00:19:09,849
Some nights, Jenny would sneak out
and come on over to my house,

229
00:19:09,916 --> 00:19:13,53
just 'cause she said she was scared.

230
00:19:13,153 --> 00:19:15,588
Scared of what, I don't know,

231
00:19:15,722 --> 00:19:18,925
but I think it was her grandma's dog.

232
00:19:19,59 --> 00:19:20,827
He was a mean dog.

00:27:15,669 --> 00:27:18,171
you'd want to eat or drink.

347
00:27:18,672 --> 00:27:22,142
And since, number one,
I wasn't hungry, but thirsty,

348
00:27:22,208 --> 00:27:24,878
and number two, they was free,

349
00:27:25,11 --> 00:27:28,48
I must have drank me about
15 Dr. Peppers.

350
00:27:28,848 --> 00:27:29,849
(BURPS)

351
00:27:31,17 --> 00:27:33,153
KENNEDY: Congratulations.
How does it feel to be an All-American?

352
00:27:33,219 --> 00:27:34,988
PLAYER 1: It's an honor, sir.

353
00:27:35,55 --> 00:27:37,157
KENNEDY: Congratulations.
How does it feel to be an All-American?

354
00:27:37,223 --> 00:27:38,858
PLAYER 2: Very good, sir.

355
00:27:39,693 --> 00:27:42,128
Congratulations.
How does it feel to be an All-American?

356
00:27:42,195 --> 00:27:43,963
Very good, sir.

357
00:27:44,30 --> 00:27:47,701
- Congratulations. How do you feel?
- I gotta pee.

358
00:27:48,368 --> 00:27:50,670
(CHUCKLING) I believe he said
he had to "go pee."

359
00:28:05,885 --> 00:28:08,755
FORREST: Sometime later,
for no particular reason,

360
00:28:08,888 --> 00:28:11,257
somebody shot that
nice young President,

361
00:28:11,391 --> 00:28:13,760
when he was riding in his car.

362
00:28:14,394 --> 00:28:18,531
And a few years after that,
somebody shot his little brother, too,

363
00:28:18,598 --> 00:28:20,734
only he was in a hotel kitchen.

364
00:28:22,202 --> 00:28:24,604
It must be hard being brothers.

365
00:28:25,605 --> 00:28:26,840
I wouldn't know.

366
00:28:27,407 --> 00:28:28,775
Forrest Gump.

367
00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:30,176
FORREST: Now can you believe it?

368
00:28:30,243 --> 00:28:34,180
After only five years of playing football,
I got a college degree.

369
00:28:34,247 --> 00:28:36,249
Congratulations, son.

370
00:28:37,50 --> 00:28:39,85
Mama was so proud.

371
00:28:40,420 --> 00:28:44,257
Forrest, I'm so proud of you.
Here, I'll hold this for you.

372
00:28:44,391 --> 00:28:46,459
Congratulations, son.

373
00:28:46,593 --> 00:28:49,596
Have you given any thought
to your future?

374
00:28:51,431 --> 00:28:52,766
Thought?

375
00:28:54,234 --> 00:28:56,69
Hello, I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.

376
00:28:56,136 --> 00:28:59,139
Nobody gives a hunk of shit
who you are, fuzzball!

377
00:28:59,272 --> 00:29:01,908
You're not even a low-life,
scum-sucking maggot!

378
00:29:01,975 --> 00:29:05,945
Get your faggotty *** on the bus.
You're in the Army now!

379
00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:08,81
This seat's taken.

380
00:29:09,949 --> 00:29:11,317
Taken.

381
00:29:14,254 --> 00:29:17,57
FORREST: At first, it seemed like
I made a mistake,

382
00:29:17,123 --> 00:29:19,159
seeing how it was only my induction day

383
00:29:19,292 --> 00:29:21,995
and I was already getting yelled at.

384
00:29:25,98 --> 00:29:27,333
You can sit down if you want to.

385
00:29:27,467 --> 00:29:31,304
I didn't know who I might meet,
or what they might ask.

386
00:29:31,438 --> 00:29:34,7
You ever been on a real shrimp boat?

387
00:29:34,507 --> 00:29:38,144
No, but I been on a real big boat.

388
00:29:38,945 --> 00:29:41,748
I'm talking about
a shrimp-catching boat.

389
00:29:41,815 --> 00:29:44,317
I've been working
on shrimp boats all my life.

390
00:29:44,451 --> 00:29:47,187
I started out on my uncle's boat,
that's my mama's brother,

391
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,356
when I was about maybe nine.

392
00:29:49,489 --> 00:29:53,626
I was just looking into buying a boat
of my own and got drafted.

393
00:29:54,461 --> 00:29:59,332
My given name is Benjamin Buford Blue.
People call me Bubba.

394
00:29:59,999 --> 00:30:03,636
Just like one of them old redneck boys.
Can you believe that?

395
00:30:03,703 --> 00:30:07,374
My name's Forrest Gump.
People call me Forrest Gump.

396
00:30:08,341 --> 00:30:10,777
FORREST: So, Bubba was from
Bayou La Batre, Alabama,

397
00:30:10,844 --> 00:30:12,779
and his mama cooked shrimp,

398
00:30:15,15 --> 00:30:17,884
and her mama before her
cooked shrimp,

399
00:30:18,18 --> 00:30:20,987
and her mama before her mama
cooked shrimp, too.

400
00:30:21,54 --> 00:30:22,288
Bubba's family knew everything

401
00:30:22,355 --> 00:30:24,991
there was to know
about the shrimping business.

402
00:30:25,58 --> 00:30:28,128
I know everything there is to know
about the shrimping business.

403
00:30:28,194 --> 00:30:31,197
Matter of fact, I'm going into
the shrimping business for myself

404
00:30:31,331 --> 00:30:33,666
after I get out the Army.

405
00:30:36,336 --> 00:30:37,370
Okay.

406
00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:41,675
Gump! What's your sole purpose
in this Army?

407
00:30:41,741 --> 00:30:44,310
To do whatever you tell me,
Drill Sergeant!

408
00:30:44,377 --> 00:30:47,747
God damn it, Gump!
You're a goddamn genius!

409
00:30:47,881 --> 00:30:50,216
That's the most outstanding answer
I've ever heard.

410
00:30:50,350 --> 00:30:53,86
You must have a goddamn IQ of 160!

411
00:30:53,219 --> 00:30:56,189
You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump!

412
00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:59,59
Listen up, people!

413
00:30:59,192 --> 00:31:03,363
FORREST: Now, for some reason, I fit in
the Army like one of them round pegs.

414
00:31:03,430 --> 00:31:04,698
It's not really hard.

415
00:31:04,764 --> 00:31:08,401
You just make your bed real neat
and remember to stand up straight,

416
00:31:08,535 --> 00:31:12,505
and always answer every question
with, "Yes, Drill Sergeant!"

417
00:31:12,572 --> 00:31:14,40
DRILL SERGEANT: Is that clear?

418
00:31:14,107 --> 00:31:16,242
- Yes, Drill Sergeant!
- Yes, Drill Sergeant!

419
00:31:16,743 --> 00:31:20,46
What you do is, you just drag
your nets along the bottom.

420
00:31:20,113 --> 00:31:23,883
On a good day, you can catch over
100 pounds of shrimp.

421
00:31:23,950 --> 00:31:27,387
If everything goes all right,
two men shrimping 10 hours,

422
00:31:27,454 --> 00:31:30,190
less what you spend on gas, you can...

423
00:31:30,256 --> 00:31:33,59
- Done, Drill Sergeant!
- Gump!

424
00:31:35,428 --> 00:31:38,198
Why did you put that weapon
together so quickly, Gump?

425
00:31:38,264 --> 00:31:39,933
You told me to, Drill Sergeant.

426
00:31:40,66 --> 00:31:43,470
Jesus H. Christ,
this is a new company record.

427
00:31:43,603 --> 00:31:46,72
If it wouldn't be a waste
of such a damn fine enlisted man,

428
00:31:46,139 --> 00:31:48,441
I'd recommend you for OCS,
Private Gump.

429
00:31:48,575 --> 00:31:50,410
You are gonna be
a general some day, Gump.

430
00:31:50,477 --> 00:31:53,580
Now, disassemble your weapon
and continue!

431
00:31:55,648 --> 00:31:59,452
Anyway, like I was saying,
shrimp is the fruit of the sea.

432
00:31:59,552 --> 00:32:04,290
You can barbecue it,
boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it.

433
00:32:04,391 --> 00:32:07,394
There's shrimp kebabs, shrimp Creole...

434
00:32:07,660 --> 00:32:12,499
...shrimp gumbo, pan fried,
deep fried, stir fried.

435
00:32:12,832 --> 00:32:16,403
There's pineapple shrimp,
lemon shrimp,

436
00:32:16,469 --> 00:32:18,805
coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp...

437
00:32:19,139 --> 00:32:25,111
...shrimp soup, shrimp stew,
shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes,

438
00:32:25,178 --> 00:32:28,248
shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich...

439
00:32:30,817 --> 00:32:33,153
That's... That's about it.

440
00:32:36,856 --> 00:32:39,826
FORREST: Night time in the Army
is a lonely time.

441
00:32:40,694 --> 00:32:44,330
We'd lay there in our bunks
and I'd miss my mama.

442
00:32:44,931 --> 00:32:47,434
And I'd miss Jenny.

443
00:32:49,769 --> 00:32:51,671
You can't keep doing this, Forrest.

444
00:32:51,771 --> 00:32:53,840
You can't keep trying
to rescue me all the time.

445
00:32:53,940 --> 00:32:58,11
- They was trying to grab you.
- A lot of people try to grab me.

446
00:32:58,945 --> 00:33:02,115
Just... You can't keep
doing this all the time.

447
00:33:02,615 --> 00:33:05,518
I can't help it. I love you.

448
00:33:06,486 --> 00:33:09,989
Forrest, you don't know what love is.

449
00:33:17,297 --> 00:33:20,300
You remember that time
we prayed, Forrest?

450
00:33:21,167 --> 00:33:25,672
We prayed for God to turn me
into a bird so I could fly far, far away?

451
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,9
Yes, I do.

452
00:33:32,979 --> 00:33:35,815
You think I could fly off this bridge?

453
00:33:42,489 --> 00:33:44,657
What do you mean, Jenny?

454
00:33:48,528 --> 00:33:50,30
Nothing.

455
00:33:52,999 --> 00:33:55,35
I gotta get out of here.

456
00:33:57,337 --> 00:33:58,405
Wait, Jenny...

457
00:33:58,505 --> 00:34:02,976
Forrest, you stay away from me, okay?
You just stay away from me, please.

458
00:34:03,43 --> 00:34:04,344
Can I have a ride?

459
00:34:04,411 --> 00:34:05,979
- MAN: Where you going?
- I don't care.

460
00:34:06,46 --> 00:34:07,414
Get in the truck.

461
00:34:07,514 --> 00:34:09,349
So, bye-bye, Jenny.

462
00:34:11,851 --> 00:34:14,187
They sending me to Vietnam.

463
00:34:16,923 --> 00:34:19,359
It's this whole other country.

464
00:34:21,861 --> 00:34:23,863
Just hang on a minute.

465
00:34:25,265 --> 00:34:28,334
Listen, you promise me
something, okay?

466
00:34:28,401 --> 00:34:31,738
Just, if you're ever in trouble,
don't try to be brave. You just run, okay?

467
00:34:31,871 --> 00:34:33,440
Just run away.

468
00:34:34,708 --> 00:34:36,42
Okay.

469
00:34:40,914 --> 00:34:42,248
Jenny.

470
00:34:44,117 --> 00:34:46,419
I'll write you all the time.

471
00:34:55,562 --> 00:34:58,565
FORREST: And just like that,
she was gone.

472
00:35:14,647 --> 00:35:17,984
You come back safe to me,
do you hear?

473
00:36:01,294 --> 00:36:05,265
Now, they told us that Vietnam
was gonna be very different

474
00:36:05,331 --> 00:36:08,201
from the United States of America.

475
00:36:08,301 --> 00:36:13,340
And except for all the beer cans
and the barbecue, it was.

476
00:36:23,483 --> 00:36:26,553
Hey, I bet there's shrimp
all in these waters.

477
00:36:26,653 --> 00:36:29,823
They tell me these Vietnams
is good shrimpers.

478
00:36:29,889 --> 00:36:33,460
You know, after we win this war,
and we take over everything,

479
00:36:33,526 --> 00:36:34,728
we can get American shrimpers

480
00:36:34,828 --> 00:36:36,563
to come out here
and shrimp these waters.

481
00:36:36,663 --> 00:36:38,198
We'll just shrimp all the time, man.

482
00:36:38,331 --> 00:36:41,501
So much shrimp, why,
you wouldn't believe it.

483
00:36:42,168 --> 00:36:44,70
You must be my FNGs.

484
00:36:44,170 --> 00:36:45,405
- Morning, sir!
- Morning, sir!

485
00:36:45,505 --> 00:36:48,141
Get your hands down! Do not salute me.

486
00:36:48,208 --> 00:36:50,343
There's goddamn snipers
all around this area

487
00:36:50,410 --> 00:36:53,246
who would love to grease an officer.

488
00:36:53,346 --> 00:36:56,850
I'm Lieutenant Dan Taylor.
Welcome to Fourth Platoon.

489
00:36:57,717 --> 00:37:00,153
What's wrong with your lip?

490
00:37:00,220 --> 00:37:02,589
I was born with big gums, sir.

491
00:37:02,689 --> 00:37:07,394
Yeah, well, you better tuck that in.
Gonna get that caught on a trip wire.

492
00:37:08,561 --> 00:37:09,929
Where you boys from in the world?

493
00:37:10,30 --> 00:37:12,399
- Alabama, sir!
- Alabama, sir!

494
00:37:13,99 --> 00:37:14,601
You twins?

495
00:37:16,703 --> 00:37:19,105
No, we are not relations, sir.

496
00:37:21,374 --> 00:37:24,277
Look, it's pretty basic here.

497
00:37:25,78 --> 00:37:27,547
If you stick with me
and learn from the guys

498
00:37:27,614 --> 00:37:30,283
who've been in country a while,
you'll be all right.

499
00:37:30,383 --> 00:37:32,285
There is one item of GI gear

500
00:37:32,385 --> 00:37:36,556
that can be the difference between
a live grunt and a dead grunt.

501
00:37:36,890 --> 00:37:40,60
Socks. Cushion sole, OD green.

502
00:37:40,126 --> 00:37:41,428
Try and keep your feet dry.

503
00:37:41,561 --> 00:37:42,962
When we're out humping,
I want you boys to remember

504
00:37:43,63 --> 00:37:45,532
to change your socks whenever we stop.

505
00:37:45,598 --> 00:37:48,568
The Mekong will eat a grunt's feet
right off his legs.

506
00:37:48,635 --> 00:37:50,937
Sergeant Sims, God damn it,

507
00:37:51,71 --> 00:37:52,472
where is that sling rope
I told you to order?

508
00:37:52,572 --> 00:37:54,474
I put in the requisitions at Battalion.

509
00:37:54,574 --> 00:37:56,576
DAN: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well,
you call those sons of *****es again...

510
00:37:56,643 --> 00:37:59,212
FORREST: Lieutenant Dan
sure knew his stuff.

511
00:37:59,279 --> 00:38:01,581
I felt real lucky he was my lieutenant.

512
00:38:02,315 --> 00:38:05,785
He was from a long,
great military tradition.

513
00:38:05,985 --> 00:38:09,89
Somebody in his family
had fought and died

514
00:38:10,90 --> 00:38:14,327
in every single American war.

515
00:38:15,261 --> 00:38:17,263
- God damn it, kick some ***!
- I'm on it, Lieutenant.

516
00:38:17,330 --> 00:38:18,465
Get on it!

517
00:38:18,598 --> 00:38:21,935
I guess you could say he had
a lot to live up to.

518
00:38:23,636 --> 00:38:28,475
So, you boys are from Arkansas, huh?
Well, I've been through there.

519
00:38:28,608 --> 00:38:30,777
Little Rock's a fine town.

520
00:38:31,444 --> 00:38:35,15
Now, go shake down your gear,
see the platoon sergeant,

521
00:38:35,115 --> 00:38:37,584
draw what you need for the field.

522
00:38:37,650 --> 00:38:41,621
If you boys are hungry,
we got steaks burning right over here.

523
00:38:41,688 --> 00:38:44,591
Two standing orders in this platoon:

524
00:38:44,657 --> 00:38:47,327
One, take good care of your feet,

525
00:38:47,460 --> 00:38:52,499
two, try not to do anything stupid,
like getting yourself killed.

526
00:38:58,972 --> 00:39:01,41
I sure hope I don't let him down.

527
00:39:12,652 --> 00:39:15,155
FORREST: I got to see
a lot of the countryside.

528
00:39:15,221 --> 00:39:17,557
We would take these real long walks.

529
00:39:26,32 --> 00:39:30,170
And we were always looking
for this guy named Charlie.

530
00:39:38,11 --> 00:39:40,246
DAN: Hold it up!
SOLDIER: Hold up, boys!

531
00:39:43,83 --> 00:39:45,418
It wasn't always fun.

532
00:39:45,518 --> 00:39:49,823
Lieutenant Dan was always getting
these funny feelings about a rock,

533
00:39:49,889 --> 00:39:54,994
or a trail, or the road,
so he'd tell us to get down, shut up...

534
00:39:55,61 --> 00:39:57,63
Get down! Shut up!

535
00:39:58,31 --> 00:39:59,499
(WHISPERING)... so we did.

536
00:40:17,50 --> 00:40:19,219
Now, I don't know much about anything,

537
00:40:19,285 --> 00:40:23,123
but I think some of America's
best young men served in this war.

538
00:40:23,223 --> 00:40:25,925
There was Dallas, from Phoenix,

539
00:40:27,627 --> 00:40:30,430
Cleveland, he was from Detroit.

540
00:40:30,563 --> 00:40:32,932
(WHISPERING) Hey, Tex. Hey, Tex.

541
00:40:33,66 --> 00:40:35,235
Man, what the hell's going on?

542
00:40:35,301 --> 00:40:39,639
And Tex was... Well, I don't remember
where Tex come from.

543
00:40:39,739 --> 00:40:41,274
DAN: Nothing.

544
00:40:45,412 --> 00:40:47,914
Fourth Platoon, on your feet.

545
00:40:47,981 --> 00:40:51,718
Still got 10 klicks to go to that river.
Move out.

546
00:40:51,785 --> 00:40:53,586
Come on, move out.

547
00:40:55,622 --> 00:40:58,58
Step it up. Look alive out there.

548
00:40:58,124 --> 00:41:02,462
The good thing about Vietnam
is there was always some place to go.

549
00:41:02,595 --> 00:41:03,963
DAN: Fire in the hole!

550
00:41:07,434 --> 00:41:09,769
Gump, check out that hole.

551
00:41:09,836 --> 00:41:12,839
And there was always something to do.

552
00:41:12,939 --> 00:41:16,109
- Mount them up.
- SOLDIER: Spread out! Cover his back.

553
00:41:21,147 --> 00:41:26,786
One day, it started raining,
and it didn't quit for four months.

554
00:41:27,787 --> 00:41:30,657
We'd been through
every kind of rain there is:

555
00:41:30,790 --> 00:41:33,326
Little bitty stinging rain,

556
00:41:34,27 --> 00:41:36,696
and big old fat rain,

557
00:41:37,163 --> 00:41:39,866
rain that flew in sideways.

558
00:41:39,966 --> 00:41:44,4
And sometimes, rain even seemed
to come straight up from underneath.

559
00:41:45,805 --> 00:41:48,174
Shoot, it even rained at night.

560
00:41:49,209 --> 00:41:51,678
- Hey, Forrest.
- Hey, Bubba.

561
00:41:51,811 --> 00:41:55,115
I'm gonna lean up against you.
You just lean right back against me.

562
00:41:55,181 --> 00:41:59,19
This way, we don't have to sleep
with our heads in the mud.

563
00:41:59,986 --> 00:42:03,456
You know why we a good partnership,
Forrest?

564
00:42:03,523 --> 00:42:06,26
'Cause we be watching out
for one another,

565
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:08,28
like brothers and stuff.

566
00:42:09,996 --> 00:42:13,666
Hey, Forrest, there's something
I've been thinking about.

567
00:42:13,733 --> 00:42:16,736
I got a very important question
to ask you.

568
00:42:18,371 --> 00:42:22,342
How would you like to go
into the shrimping business with me?

569
00:42:23,510 --> 00:42:25,145
Okay.

570
00:42:25,211 --> 00:42:28,682
Man, I tell you what,
I got it all figured out, too.

571
00:42:28,748 --> 00:42:31,551
So many pounds of shrimp
to pay off the boat,

572
00:42:31,685 --> 00:42:34,988
so many pounds for gas,
we can just live right on the boat.

573
00:42:35,55 --> 00:42:37,357
We ain't got to pay no rent.

574
00:42:37,424 --> 00:42:39,526
I'll be the captain,
we can just work it together,

575
00:42:39,592 --> 00:42:43,863
split everything right down the middle.
Man, I'm telling you, 50-50.

576
00:42:43,930 --> 00:42:47,534
And, hey, Forrest,
all the shrimp you can eat.

577
00:42:49,69 --> 00:42:50,870
That's a fine idea.

578
00:42:51,938 --> 00:42:54,74
FORREST: Bubba did have a fine idea.

579
00:42:57,877 --> 00:43:00,947
I even wrote Jenny
and told her all about it.

580
00:43:01,748 --> 00:43:04,951
I sent her letters,
not every day, but almost.

581
00:43:05,51 --> 00:43:10,56
I told her what I was doing
and asked her what she was doing,

582
00:43:10,123 --> 00:43:12,892
and told her
how I thought about her always,

583
00:43:14,227 --> 00:43:17,197
and how I was looking forward
to getting a letter from her

584
00:43:17,263 --> 00:43:19,766
just as soon as she had the time.

585
00:43:21,634 --> 00:43:24,137
I'd always let her know that I was okay.

586
00:43:25,438 --> 00:43:30,610
Then, I'd sign each letter,
"Love, Forrest Gump."

587
00:43:45,458 --> 00:43:49,229
This one day, we was out walking,
like always,

588
00:43:49,295 --> 00:43:52,265
and then, just like that,

589
00:43:53,166 --> 00:43:56,603
somebody turned off the rain
and the sun come out.

590
00:43:59,606 --> 00:44:01,441
DAN: Ambush!

591
00:44:01,941 --> 00:44:03,309
Take cover!

592
00:44:03,476 --> 00:44:04,844
(GUNS FIRING)

593
00:44:06,946 --> 00:44:08,114
Get down!

594
00:44:08,181 --> 00:44:09,649
Get the sixty!

595
00:44:12,819 --> 00:44:14,921
Get that pig up here, God damn it!

596
00:44:14,988 --> 00:44:17,123
Forrest, you okay?

597
00:44:20,326 --> 00:44:22,962
Strongarm! Strongarm!
Be advised, Strongarm!

598
00:44:23,496 --> 00:44:25,932
Medic, we got a man down!

599
00:44:25,999 --> 00:44:28,968
Strongarm, this is Leg Lima 6, over!

600
00:44:29,669 --> 00:44:33,6
Roger, Strongarm, be advised
we have incoming from the tree line

601
00:44:33,139 --> 00:44:36,643
at points blue plus two.
AKs and rockets...

602
00:44:37,310 --> 00:44:39,112
Misfire! Misfire!

603
00:44:41,481 --> 00:44:43,483
DAN: God damn it! Mac!

604
00:44:44,451 --> 00:44:47,854
Get that thing...
**** it, get it in the tree line!

605
00:44:48,822 --> 00:44:49,989
Jesus!

606
00:44:50,123 --> 00:44:52,325
My unit is down hard and hurting!

607
00:44:52,459 --> 00:44:55,995
Six are pulling back to Blue Line,
Leg Lima 6 out.

608
00:44:56,796 --> 00:44:58,732
Pull back! Pull back!

609
00:44:58,832 --> 00:45:00,967
Run! Run, Forrest!

610
00:45:01,34 --> 00:45:03,370
- Pull back!
- BUBBA: Forrest, Forrest!

611
00:45:03,503 --> 00:45:06,72
Run, man! Run!

612
00:45:06,172 --> 00:45:07,974
DAN: Pull back! Run!

613
00:45:09,809 --> 00:45:12,12
Run, God damn it, run!

614
00:45:33,199 --> 00:45:37,837
SOLDIER: Medic! Can I get a medic?

615
00:45:38,204 --> 00:45:41,541
FORREST: I ran and ran,
just like Jenny told me to.

616
00:45:44,911 --> 00:45:49,115
I ran so far and so fast
that pretty soon I was all by myself,

617
00:45:49,215 --> 00:45:51,184
which was a bad thing.

618
00:45:51,718 --> 00:45:53,253
Bubba!

619
00:45:55,388 --> 00:45:59,192
Bubba was my best good friend.
I had to make sure that he was okay.

620
00:46:02,896 --> 00:46:04,931
SOLDIER 1: Any friendlies out there?

621
00:46:05,899 --> 00:46:08,68
SOLDIER 2: Yeah, I've got
three over here.

622
00:46:08,702 --> 00:46:10,704
Where the hell are you?

623
00:46:11,271 --> 00:46:12,605
Bubba?

624
00:46:13,707 --> 00:46:16,409
And on my way back to find Bubba,

625
00:46:16,543 --> 00:46:19,312
well, there was this boy
laying on the ground.

626
00:46:19,412 --> 00:46:20,613
Tex!

627
00:46:22,716 --> 00:46:23,717
Okay.

628
00:46:23,783 --> 00:46:27,754
I couldn't just let him lay there all alone,
scared the way he was,

629
00:46:27,887 --> 00:46:31,758
so I grabbed him up
and run him out of there.

630
00:46:46,906 --> 00:46:49,309
And every time I went back
looking for Bubba,

631
00:46:49,442 --> 00:46:52,946
somebody else was saying,
"Help me, Forrest. Help me."

632
00:47:00,620 --> 00:47:02,489
Can't hear... Can't hear...

633
00:47:04,791 --> 00:47:06,92
SOLDIER: No sweat, man. Just lay back.

634
00:47:06,159 --> 00:47:08,661
You'll be okay. You'll be okay.

635
00:47:10,663 --> 00:47:13,700
I started to get scared
that I might never find Bubba.

636
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,35
MAN ON RADIO: Over.

637
00:47:15,135 --> 00:47:18,438
DAN: Roger, Strongarm,
I know my position is danger close.

638
00:47:18,505 --> 00:47:20,340
We got Charlie all over this area.

639
00:47:20,473 --> 00:47:22,776
I gotta have those fast movers
in here now. Over.

640
00:47:22,842 --> 00:47:26,212
- Six, Strongarm, we want...
- Lieutenant Dan, Coleman's dead!

641
00:47:26,312 --> 00:47:27,514
I know he's dead!

642
00:47:27,647 --> 00:47:30,483
My whole goddamn platoon
is wiped out!

643
00:47:30,617 --> 00:47:31,951
- Leg Lima 6, Leg Lima 6.
- God damn it!

644
00:47:32,18 --> 00:47:34,721
- Copy this transmission. Over.
- What are you doing?

645
00:47:34,821 --> 00:47:38,158
Just leave me here! Get away.
Just leave me here! Get out!

646
00:47:38,291 --> 00:47:40,560
Leg Lima 6, Strongarm.
How copy this? Over.

647
00:47:40,660 --> 00:47:43,296
God, I said leave me here, God damn it!

648
00:47:43,363 --> 00:47:46,533
Leg Lima 6, Leg Lima 6,
this is Strongarm, be advised

649
00:47:46,666 --> 00:47:48,635
your fast movers
are inbound at this time, over.

650
00:47:48,702 --> 00:47:52,138
FORREST: Then, it felt like something
just jumped up and bit me.

651
00:47:53,6 --> 00:47:54,674
Something bit me!

652
00:48:01,548 --> 00:48:03,683
You chink son of a *****!

653
00:48:06,186 --> 00:48:08,188
I can't leave the platoon.

654
00:48:08,321 --> 00:48:13,226
I told you to leave me there, Gump.
Forget about me. Get yourself out!

655
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,495
Did you hear what I said?

656
00:48:16,196 --> 00:48:18,164
God damn it, put me down!

657
00:48:18,865 --> 00:48:20,900
Get your *** out of here!

658
00:48:24,204 --> 00:48:26,773
I didn't ask you to pull me out of there,
God damn you!

659
00:48:26,873 --> 00:48:28,208
Where the hell
do you think you're going?

660
00:48:28,341 --> 00:48:29,409
To get Bubba.

661
00:48:29,542 --> 00:48:33,380
I got an air strike inbound right now.
They're gonna nape the whole area.

662
00:48:33,513 --> 00:48:35,882
Gump, you stay here, God damn it!
That's an order!

663
00:48:36,16 --> 00:48:38,418
I gotta find Bubba!

664
00:48:54,401 --> 00:48:55,835
BUBBA: Forrest.

665
00:49:03,610 --> 00:49:06,279
- Bubba.
- I'm okay, Forrest.

666
00:49:07,80 --> 00:49:08,748
I'm okay.

667
00:49:16,589 --> 00:49:18,425
Oh, Bubba, no...

668
00:49:18,558 --> 00:49:20,760
Nah, I'm gonna be all right.

669
00:49:22,662 --> 00:49:24,497
(MEN CHATTERING)

670
00:49:28,935 --> 00:49:31,604
Come on. Come on. Come on.

671
00:49:36,609 --> 00:49:38,111
I'm okay, Forrest.

672
00:49:39,446 --> 00:49:42,282
I'm okay, man. I'm fine.

673
00:50:19,319 --> 00:50:22,422
DAN: Helo's inbound.
Top smoke, get it out there!

674
00:50:23,490 --> 00:50:27,994
If I'd a known this was gonna be the
last time me and Bubba was gonna talk,

675
00:50:28,128 --> 00:50:30,397
I'd of thought of something better to say.

676
00:50:30,497 --> 00:50:31,998
Hey, Bubba.

677
00:50:33,133 --> 00:50:34,501
Hey, Forrest.

678
00:50:36,836 --> 00:50:40,40
Forrest, why'd this happen?

679
00:50:41,374 --> 00:50:43,176
You got shot.

680
00:50:44,878 --> 00:50:49,49
Then Bubba said something
I won't ever forget.

681
00:50:49,849 --> 00:50:51,518
I wanna go home.

682
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,555
Bubba was my best good friend.

683
00:50:56,523 --> 00:51:01,61
And even I know that ain't something
you can find just around the corner.

684
00:51:01,194 --> 00:51:04,264
Bubba was gonna be
a shrimping boat captain,

685
00:51:04,364 --> 00:51:08,301
but instead he died right there
by that river in Vietnam.

686
00:51:14,40 --> 00:51:16,309
That's all I have to say about that.

687
00:51:18,712 --> 00:51:20,880
It was a bullet, wasn't it?

688
00:51:23,216 --> 00:51:25,885
- A bullet?
- That jumped up and bit you.

689
00:51:28,254 --> 00:51:30,323
Oh, yes, sir.

690
00:51:30,423 --> 00:51:33,560
Bit me directly in the buttocks.

691
00:51:33,660 --> 00:51:38,932
They said it was a million-dollar wound,
but the Army must keep that money,

692
00:51:39,65 --> 00:51:42,902
'cause I still ain't seen a nickel
of that million dollars.

693
00:51:44,871 --> 00:51:47,173
MALE NURSE:
It's time for your bath, Lieutenant.

694
00:51:55,682 --> 00:51:57,17
Harper!

695
00:52:00,220 --> 00:52:02,689
Cooper, Larson,

696
00:52:04,891 --> 00:52:06,226
Webster,

697
00:52:07,627 --> 00:52:11,131
- Gump. Gump.
- I'm Forrest Gump.

698
00:52:14,701 --> 00:52:17,971
Kyle, Nichols,

699
00:52:20,206 --> 00:52:26,146
McMill, Johnson, Tyler,

700
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:28,882
Holiday...

701
00:52:35,622 --> 00:52:37,891
MAN ON TV:
Surprise, surprise, surprise!

702
00:52:41,227 --> 00:52:43,730
Gump, how can you watch
that stupid shit?

703
00:52:43,797 --> 00:52:45,398
- From the DMZ to the Delta...
- Turn it off!

704
00:52:45,465 --> 00:52:48,735
...you are tuned to the
American Forces Vietnam Network.

705
00:52:48,835 --> 00:52:51,171
This is Channel 6, Saigon.

706
00:52:53,907 --> 00:52:55,575
SOLDIER: Good catch, Gump.

707
00:52:57,510 --> 00:52:59,679
You know how to play this?

708
00:53:00,980 --> 00:53:03,83
Come on, let me show you. Here.

709
00:53:05,151 --> 00:53:07,487
Now, the secret to this game is,

710
00:53:07,587 --> 00:53:13,426
no matter what happens,
never ever take your eye off the ball.

711
00:53:16,996 --> 00:53:18,331
All right.

712
00:53:21,668 --> 00:53:25,338
For some reason,
Ping-Pong came very natural to me.

713
00:53:25,672 --> 00:53:28,608
See? Any idiot can play.

714
00:53:29,109 --> 00:53:31,845
So, I started playing it all the time.

715
00:53:33,13 --> 00:53:34,347
I played Ping-Pong

716
00:53:34,447 --> 00:53:37,717
even when I didn't have anyone
to play Ping-Pong with.

717
00:53:45,792 --> 00:53:50,463
The hospital's people said
it made me look like a duck in water,

718
00:53:50,563 --> 00:53:52,399
whatever that means.

719
00:53:52,866 --> 00:53:56,136
Even Lieutenant Dan would come
and watch me play.

720
00:54:01,641 --> 00:54:05,512
I played Ping-Pong so much,
I even played it in my sleep.

721
00:54:13,319 --> 00:54:18,391
Now, you listen to me.
We all have a destiny.

722
00:54:18,491 --> 00:54:21,528
Nothing just happens,
it's all part of a plan.

723
00:54:21,661 --> 00:54:24,330
I should have died out there
with my men,

724
00:54:24,431 --> 00:54:28,401
but now I'm nothing
but a goddamn cripple,

725
00:54:28,501 --> 00:54:32,105
a legless freak! Look! Look! Look at me!

726
00:54:32,872 --> 00:54:33,940
Do you see that?

727
00:54:34,40 --> 00:54:37,844
Do you know what it's like
not to be able to use your legs?

728
00:54:41,181 --> 00:54:42,782
Yes, sir, I do.

729
00:54:46,453 --> 00:54:48,521
Did you hear what I said?

730
00:54:49,389 --> 00:54:51,124
You cheated me.

731
00:54:51,224 --> 00:54:52,392
I had a destiny.

732
00:54:52,459 --> 00:54:56,29
I was supposed to die in the field,
with honor!

733
00:54:56,696 --> 00:55:00,734
That was my destiny,
and you cheated me out of it!

734
00:55:10,377 --> 00:55:13,79
Do you understand
what I'm saying, Gump?

735
00:55:15,215 --> 00:55:18,585
This wasn't supposed to happen,
not to me.

736
00:55:21,221 --> 00:55:22,889
I had a destiny.

737
00:55:24,824 --> 00:55:29,229
I was Lieutenant Dan Taylor.

738
00:55:35,402 --> 00:55:37,737
You're still Lieutenant Dan.

739
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:02,462
Look at me.

740
00:56:03,797 --> 00:56:11,471
What am I gonna do now?

741
00:56:21,848 --> 00:56:23,316
PFC Gump?

742
00:56:24,851 --> 00:56:26,286
Yes, sir!

743
00:56:26,953 --> 00:56:28,455
As you were.

744
00:56:28,955 --> 00:56:32,792
Son, you've been awarded
the Medal of Honor.

745
00:56:33,827 --> 00:56:37,464
Guess what, Lieutenant Dan,
they want to give me a...

746
00:56:44,204 --> 00:56:47,974
Ma'am, what'd they do
with Lieutenant Dan?

747
00:56:48,875 --> 00:56:50,677
They sent him home.

748
00:56:56,683 --> 00:56:59,419
FORREST:
Two weeks later, I left Vietnam.

749
00:57:00,487 --> 00:57:04,24
The ceremony was kicked off
with a candid speech by the President

750
00:57:04,90 --> 00:57:07,494
regarding the need for further escalation
of the war in Vietnam.

751
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,696
President Johnson awarded
four Medals of Honor

752
00:57:09,763 --> 00:57:11,431
to men
from each of the Armed Services.

753
00:57:11,531 --> 00:57:14,434
America owes you
a debt of gratitude, son.

754
00:57:16,436 --> 00:57:20,240
I understand you were wounded.
Where were you hit?

755
00:57:20,340 --> 00:57:23,510
- In the buttocks, sir.
- That must be a sight.

756
00:57:24,244 --> 00:57:26,546
I'd kind of like to see that.

757
00:57:38,258 --> 00:57:42,95
After that,
Mama went to the hotel to lay down,

758
00:57:42,195 --> 00:57:45,699
so I went out for a walk
to see our nation's capital.

759
00:57:45,765 --> 00:57:47,300
ISABEL: Hilary, all right,
I've got the vets,

760
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:48,902
what do you want me to do with them?

761
00:57:48,968 --> 00:57:50,737
HILARY: What are you doing here
so late?

762
00:57:50,804 --> 00:57:54,874
It's a good thing Mama was resting,
'cause the streets was awful crowded

763
00:57:54,941 --> 00:57:58,111
with people looking
at all the statues and monuments,

764
00:57:58,211 --> 00:58:00,814
and some of them people were loud
and pushy.

765
00:58:00,914 --> 00:58:03,883
Okay, follow me! Come on.
Let's move it out.

766
00:58:04,718 --> 00:58:07,654
Everywhere I went,
I had to stand in line.

767
00:58:10,924 --> 00:58:12,459
HILARY: Follow me, let's go!

768
00:58:14,260 --> 00:58:15,895
Come on. Let's go.

769
00:58:21,935 --> 00:58:23,503
Stand here.

770
00:58:25,972 --> 00:58:29,142
Hey, you're a good man
for doing this. Good!

771
00:58:30,443 --> 00:58:31,578
Okay.

772
00:58:32,345 --> 00:58:35,749
There was this man giving a little talk.

773
00:58:35,815 --> 00:58:39,319
And for some reason, he was
wearing an American flag for a shirt.

774
00:58:39,419 --> 00:58:40,854
ABBIE HOFFMAN: Now, I'm gonna
bring up some soldiers...

775
00:58:40,954 --> 00:58:43,757
FORREST:
And he liked to say the "F" word.

776
00:58:43,823 --> 00:58:47,193
A lot. "F" this and "F" that.

777
00:58:47,293 --> 00:58:49,629
And every time he said the "F" word,

778
00:58:49,696 --> 00:58:52,465
people, for some reason,
well, they'd cheer.

779
00:58:52,532 --> 00:58:55,168
...where to stick this ****ing war! Yeah!

780
00:58:55,268 --> 00:58:56,269
(CROWD CHEERING)

781
00:58:56,669 --> 00:58:59,5
Yeah! Yeah!

782
00:58:59,606 --> 00:59:02,108
Come on, man, come up here, man.

783
00:59:02,509 --> 00:59:05,845
Come on. Come on. Yeah, you!
Come on. Move, move, move.

784
00:59:06,846 --> 00:59:10,283
You can do it. Just get up there.
Go on. That's it.

785
00:59:23,63 --> 00:59:25,632
Tell us a little bit about the war, man.

786
00:59:25,699 --> 00:59:27,467
The war in Vietnam?

787
00:59:27,534 --> 00:59:30,470
- The war in Viet-****ing-nam!
- Yeah!

788
00:59:30,537 --> 00:59:31,538
(CROWD CHEERING)

789
00:59:50,824 --> 00:59:51,891
MAN 1: Peace!

790
00:59:52,258 --> 00:59:53,660
MAN 2: Come on, man, go!

791
00:59:53,927 --> 00:59:55,895
MAN 3: Come on!
WOMAN 1: Peace!

792
00:59:55,995 --> 00:59:57,30
Well...

793
00:59:57,97 --> 01:00:00,567
FORREST: There was only one thing
I could say about the war in Vietnam.

794
01:00:00,667 --> 01:00:05,505
...there's only one thing
I can say about the war in Vietnam.

795
01:00:09,275 --> 01:00:13,79
In Vietnam, your...

796
01:00:13,346 --> 01:00:15,715
(SPEAKERS SCREECHING)

797
01:00:22,856 --> 01:00:23,923
MAN 4: Hey, what the hell are you...

798
01:00:24,24 --> 01:00:26,760
I'll beat your head in,
you goddamn oinker!

799
01:00:26,860 --> 01:00:29,362
Jesus Christ, what'd they do with this?

800
01:00:30,764 --> 01:00:32,432
MAN 5: We can't hear you!

801
01:00:34,134 --> 01:00:36,136
MAN 6: We can't hear anything!

802
01:00:36,870 --> 01:00:39,372
- This one! This one! Give me that!
- MAN 7: Turn it up!

803
01:00:39,439 --> 01:00:40,874
WOMAN 2: Speak up!

804
01:00:41,641 --> 01:00:43,109
That's it!

805
01:00:44,210 --> 01:00:47,47
...and that's all I have to say about that.

806
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,290
That's so right on, man. You said it all.

807
01:00:58,792 --> 01:01:01,294
What's your name, man?

808
01:01:01,394 --> 01:01:03,997
My name is Forrest. Forrest Gump.

809
01:01:05,231 --> 01:01:06,399
Forrest Gump!

810
01:01:06,499 --> 01:01:07,901
- Gump!
- Gump!

811
01:01:09,402 --> 01:01:13,139
JENNY: Forrest! Forrest!

812
01:01:17,177 --> 01:01:19,579
- Jenny!
- Forrest!

813
01:01:36,329 --> 01:01:38,998
Hey! Hey!

814
01:01:47,107 --> 01:01:50,210
It was the happiest moment of my life.

815
01:01:52,545 --> 01:01:55,949
Jenny and me were just like
peas and carrots again.

816
01:01:57,283 --> 01:01:58,852
She showed me around,

817
01:01:58,952 --> 01:02:01,521
and even introduced me
to some of her new friends.

818
01:02:01,621 --> 01:02:02,956
Shut that blind, man.

819
01:02:03,56 --> 01:02:05,291
And get your white ***
away from that window.

820
01:02:05,358 --> 01:02:07,460
Don't you know we in a war here?

821
01:02:08,294 --> 01:02:09,696
Hey, man, he's cool. He's cool.
He's one of us.

822
01:02:09,796 --> 01:02:11,698
- Let me tell you about us.
- Where the hell have you been?

823
01:02:11,798 --> 01:02:13,867
Our purpose here
is to protect our black leaders

824
01:02:13,967 --> 01:02:15,702
from the racial onslaught of the pig

825
01:02:15,802 --> 01:02:17,871
who wishes to brutalize
our black leaders,

826
01:02:17,971 --> 01:02:21,307
rape our women,
and destroy our black communities.

827
01:02:24,210 --> 01:02:26,146
Who's the baby killer?

828
01:02:26,246 --> 01:02:28,982
This is my good friend I told you about.
This is Forrest Gump.

829
01:02:29,49 --> 01:02:30,817
Forrest, this is Wesley.

830
01:02:30,884 --> 01:02:32,185
Wesley and I lived together in Berkeley,

831
01:02:32,252 --> 01:02:34,888
and he's the president
of the Berkeley chapter of SDS.

832
01:02:34,988 --> 01:02:36,389
Let me tell you something else.

833
01:02:36,489 --> 01:02:40,727
We are here to offer protection and help
for all of those who need our help,

834
01:02:40,827 --> 01:02:44,397
because we, the Black Panthers,
are against the war in Vietnam.

835
01:02:44,497 --> 01:02:48,168
Yes, we are against any war where
black soldiers are sent to the frontline

836
01:02:48,234 --> 01:02:50,170
to die for a country that hates them.

837
01:02:50,236 --> 01:02:53,406
Yes, we are against any war
where black soldiers go to fight

838
01:02:53,506 --> 01:02:56,576
and come to be brutalized and killed
in their own communities

839
01:02:56,676 --> 01:02:58,244
as they sleep in their beds at night.

840
01:02:58,345 --> 01:02:59,512
You are a ****ing ***hole!

841
01:02:59,579 --> 01:03:02,949
Yes, we are against all these racist
and imperial dog acts.

842
01:03:12,258 --> 01:03:15,462
JENNY: Forrest! Quit it! Quit it!

843
01:03:17,430 --> 01:03:18,698
Forrest!

844
01:03:19,265 --> 01:03:21,34
Stop it! Stop it!

845
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,42
Oh, God...

846
01:03:29,876 --> 01:03:32,278
I shouldn't have brought you here.

847
01:03:32,379 --> 01:03:35,982
I should have known it was just
gonna be some bullshit hassle.

848
01:03:37,150 --> 01:03:39,786
He should not be hitting you, Jenny.

849
01:03:44,724 --> 01:03:46,459
Come on, Forrest.

850
01:03:52,165 --> 01:03:56,169
Sorry I had a fight in the middle
of your Black Panther party.

851
01:03:59,72 --> 01:04:01,408
He doesn't mean it when
he does things like this. He doesn't.

852
01:04:01,474 --> 01:04:03,810
I would never hurt you, Jenny.

853
01:04:05,645 --> 01:04:07,914
I know you wouldn't, Forrest.

854
01:04:09,816 --> 01:04:12,419
I wanted to be your boyfriend.

855
01:04:22,929 --> 01:04:25,331
That uniform is a trip, Forrest.

856
01:04:26,700 --> 01:04:29,936
You look handsome in it. You do.

857
01:04:34,7 --> 01:04:35,942
- You know what?
- What?

858
01:04:39,546 --> 01:04:43,183
I'm glad we were here together
in our nation's capital.

859
01:04:44,784 --> 01:04:46,519
Me, too, Forrest.

860
01:04:46,619 --> 01:04:51,291
We walked around all night,
Jenny and me, just talking.

861
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,529
She told me about
all the traveling she'd done.

862
01:04:56,629 --> 01:05:01,201
And how she'd discovered ways
to expand her mind

863
01:05:04,637 --> 01:05:07,807
It was a very special night
for the two of us.

864
01:05:09,409 --> 01:05:11,478
I didn't want it to end.

865
01:05:12,278 --> 01:05:14,681
I wish you wouldn't go, Jenny.

866
01:05:15,682 --> 01:05:17,484
I have to, Forrest.

867
01:05:18,485 --> 01:05:19,753
Jenny?

868
01:05:21,921 --> 01:05:24,491
Things got a little out of hand.

869
01:05:24,591 --> 01:05:28,395
It's just this war
and that lying son of a *****, Johnson!

870
01:05:30,96 --> 01:05:32,866
I would never hurt you, you know that.

871
01:05:36,2 --> 01:05:38,4
You know what I think?

872
01:05:39,506 --> 01:05:44,778
I think you should go home
to Greenbow, Alabama!

873
01:05:55,288 --> 01:06:00,360
Forrest, we have very different lives,
you know.

874
01:06:09,803 --> 01:06:12,939
I want you to have this.

875
01:06:17,644 --> 01:06:19,813
Forrest, I can't keep this.

876
01:06:21,481 --> 01:06:25,719
I got it just by doing
what you told me to do.

877
01:06:27,754 --> 01:06:29,923
Why are you so good to me?

878
01:06:31,424 --> 01:06:32,959
You're my girl.

879
01:06:34,994 --> 01:06:37,97
I'll always be your girl.

880
01:07:17,504 --> 01:07:22,342
FORREST: And just like that,
she was gone, out of my life again.

881
01:07:23,843 --> 01:07:26,179
NEIL ARMSTRONG ON TV:
That's one small step for man,

882
01:07:28,181 --> 01:07:31,17
one giant leap for mankind.

883
01:07:36,690 --> 01:07:39,192
FORREST: I thought I was
going back to Vietnam,

884
01:07:39,325 --> 01:07:42,529
but instead, they decided the best way
for me to fight the Communists

885
01:07:42,629 --> 01:07:44,264
was to play Ping-Pong.

886
01:07:44,330 --> 01:07:46,633
So, I was in the Special Services,

887
01:07:46,700 --> 01:07:49,969
traveling around the country
cheering up all them wounded veterans

888
01:07:50,36 --> 01:07:52,472
and showing them
how to play Ping-Pong.

889
01:07:52,539 --> 01:07:54,474
I was so good that some years later

890
01:07:54,541 --> 01:07:58,178
the Army decided that I should be
on the All-American Ping-Pong team.

891
01:07:58,812 --> 01:08:01,214
We were the first Americans
to visit the land of China

892
01:08:01,314 --> 01:08:03,717
in like a million years,
or something like that.

893
01:08:03,850 --> 01:08:07,287
Somebody said world peace
was in our hands,

894
01:08:07,354 --> 01:08:10,156
but all I did was play Ping-Pong.

895
01:08:10,223 --> 01:08:13,326
When I got home,
I was a national celebrity.

896
01:08:14,27 --> 01:08:16,329
Famouser even than Captain Kangaroo.

897
01:08:16,396 --> 01:08:19,65
Here he is, Forrest Gump, right here.

898
01:08:25,839 --> 01:08:27,574
Mr. Gump, have a seat.

899
01:08:30,76 --> 01:08:32,245
Forrest Gump, John Lennon.

900
01:08:32,912 --> 01:08:34,180
- Welcome home.
- You had quite a trip.

901
01:08:34,247 --> 01:08:37,584
Can you tell us, what was China like?

902
01:08:40,854 --> 01:08:46,92
In the land of China,
people hardly got nothing at all.

903
01:08:46,192 --> 01:08:47,761
No possessions?

904
01:08:50,397 --> 01:08:53,600
And in China, they never go to church.

905
01:08:54,901 --> 01:08:56,436
No religion, too?

906
01:08:56,536 --> 01:08:57,537
Oh.

907
01:09:03,610 --> 01:09:06,12
FORREST: Some years later,
that nice young man from England

908
01:09:06,79 --> 01:09:08,715
was on his way home
to see his little boy

909
01:09:08,782 --> 01:09:11,785
and was signing some autographs,

910
01:09:11,918 --> 01:09:15,889
and for no particular reason at all,
somebody shot him.

911
01:09:18,925 --> 01:09:22,762
They gave you
the Congressional Medal of Honor.

912
01:09:24,64 --> 01:09:26,132
Now, that's Lieutenant Dan.

913
01:09:28,935 --> 01:09:30,570
Lieutenant Dan!

914
01:09:30,637 --> 01:09:35,108
They gave you
the Congressional Medal of Honor!

915
01:09:36,976 --> 01:09:38,478
Yes, sir, they surely did.

916
01:09:38,578 --> 01:09:40,580
They gave you,

917
01:09:40,647 --> 01:09:44,818
an imbecile,
a moron who goes on television

918
01:09:44,918 --> 01:09:49,155
and makes a fool out of himself
in front of the whole damn country,

919
01:09:49,823 --> 01:09:52,325
the Congressional Medal of Honor.

920
01:09:53,493 --> 01:09:54,661
Yes, sir.

921
01:09:56,830 --> 01:09:59,666
Well, then, that's just perfect!

922
01:10:01,601 --> 01:10:03,937
Yeah, well,
I just got one thing to say to that.

923
01:10:04,3 --> 01:10:06,272
God damn bless America.

924
01:10:07,173 --> 01:10:08,475
Hey!

925
01:10:10,276 --> 01:10:11,611
Oh, God!

926
01:10:14,114 --> 01:10:16,516
- Oh, God!
- Lieutenant Dan!

927
01:10:22,989 --> 01:10:26,760
I stayed with Lieutenant Dan
and celebrated the holidays.

928
01:10:31,164 --> 01:10:34,601
You have a great year.
Hurry home and God bless you.

929
01:10:37,604 --> 01:10:40,373
Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?

930
01:10:41,975 --> 01:10:44,644
I didn't know I was supposed to be
looking for him, sir.

931
01:10:44,711 --> 01:10:47,647
(LAUGHING)

932
01:10:52,218 --> 01:10:55,622
That's all these cripples,
down at the VA,

933
01:10:55,689 --> 01:10:58,124
that's all they ever talk about.

934
01:10:59,292 --> 01:11:02,228
Jesus this and Jesus that.

935
01:11:03,697 --> 01:11:05,999
Have I found Jesus?

936
01:11:06,633 --> 01:11:09,636
They even had a priest come
and talk to me.

937
01:11:10,503 --> 01:11:15,175
He said God is listening,
but I have to help myself.

938
01:11:16,543 --> 01:11:18,845
How if I accept Jesus into my heart,

939
01:11:19,846 --> 01:11:23,650
I'll get to walk beside him
in the kingdom of heaven.

940
01:11:23,717 --> 01:11:25,885
Did you hear what I said?

941
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:30,924
Walk beside him
in the kingdom of heaven.

942
01:11:31,24 --> 01:11:33,993
Well, kiss my crippled ***.

943
01:11:34,60 --> 01:11:37,430
God is listening? What a crock of shit.

944
01:11:41,101 --> 01:11:43,737
I'm going to heaven, Lieutenant Dan.

945
01:11:45,672 --> 01:11:46,706
Oh?

946
01:11:51,544 --> 01:11:52,912
Well,

947
01:11:55,882 --> 01:11:59,252
before you go, why don't you get
your *** down to the corner

948
01:11:59,352 --> 01:12:01,855
- and get us another bottle of Ripple.
- Yes, sir.

949
01:12:01,921 --> 01:12:07,60
We are at approximately 45th Street
in New York City at One Astor Plaza.

950
01:12:07,127 --> 01:12:08,962
This is the site of the old Astor Hotel.

951
01:12:09,62 --> 01:12:11,264
DAN: What the hell
is in Bayou La Batre?

952
01:12:11,364 --> 01:12:13,700
FORREST: Shrimping boats.
DAN: Shrimping boats?

953
01:12:13,767 --> 01:12:16,202
Who gives a shit
about shrimping boats?

954
01:12:16,269 --> 01:12:17,737
FORREST: I gotta buy me
one of them shrimping boats,

955
01:12:17,804 --> 01:12:19,372
soon as I have some money.

956
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,275
I made me a promise to Bubba
in Vietnam

957
01:12:22,375 --> 01:12:25,78
that as soon as the war was over,
we'd go in partners.

958
01:12:25,145 --> 01:12:28,581
He'd be the captain of the
shrimping boat and I'd be his first mate.

959
01:12:28,648 --> 01:12:32,118
But now that he's dead,
that means I gotta be the captain.

960
01:12:32,218 --> 01:12:34,921
- A shrimp boat captain.
- Yes, sir.

961
01:12:34,988 --> 01:12:37,457
A promise is a promise, Lieutenant Dan.

962
01:12:37,557 --> 01:12:38,958
(LAUGHING)

963
01:12:39,259 --> 01:12:41,728
Now hear this!

964
01:12:42,462 --> 01:12:46,299
Private Gump here
is gonna be a shrimp boat captain.

965
01:12:47,67 --> 01:12:48,468
Well, I tell you what, Gilligan,

966
01:12:48,568 --> 01:12:51,4
the day that you are
a shrimp boat captain,

967
01:12:51,104 --> 01:12:54,641
- I will come and be your first mate.
- Okay.

968
01:12:54,741 --> 01:12:59,79
If you're ever a shrimp boat captain,
that's the day I'm an astronaut.

969
01:12:59,145 --> 01:13:02,148
LENORE: Danny, what are you
complaining about?

970
01:13:02,248 --> 01:13:04,818
- What are you doing, hon?
- Mr. Hot Wheels.

971
01:13:04,918 --> 01:13:08,521
- Who's your friend?
- My name is Forrest, Forrest Gump.

972
01:13:09,356 --> 01:13:13,593
This is Cunning Carla
and Long-Limbs Lenore.

973
01:13:14,661 --> 01:13:17,864
So, where you been, baby cakes, huh?
Haven't seen you around lately.

974
01:13:17,964 --> 01:13:19,432
You know, you should have
been here for Christmas,

975
01:13:19,499 --> 01:13:20,834
'cause Tommy bought a round
on the house

976
01:13:20,934 --> 01:13:22,435
and gave everybody a turkey sandwich.

977
01:13:22,502 --> 01:13:25,538
Well, well, I had company.

978
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:30,110
Hey, hey! We was just there.
That's at Times Square.

979
01:13:30,710 --> 01:13:34,848
Don't you just love New Year's?
You get to start all over.

980
01:13:34,948 --> 01:13:38,218
- CARLA: Hey, Lenore...
- Everybody gets a second chance.

981
01:13:38,318 --> 01:13:40,854
FORREST: It's funny,
but in the middle of all that fun,

982
01:13:40,954 --> 01:13:43,223
I began to think about Jenny,

983
01:13:44,157 --> 01:13:48,628
wondering how she was spending
her New Year's night out in California.

984
01:14:11,217 --> 01:14:14,721
CROWD: Eight, seven, six, five,

985
01:14:14,854 --> 01:14:18,324
four, three, two, one!

986
01:14:18,425 --> 01:14:21,94
Happy New Year!

987
01:14:22,162 --> 01:14:23,930
(CROWD CHEERING)

988
01:14:25,965 --> 01:14:28,868
(CROWD SINGING AULD LANG SYNE)

989
01:14:33,940 --> 01:14:36,643
Happy New Year, Lieutenant Dan!

990
01:14:51,358 --> 01:14:52,559
No, no.

991
01:15:17,717 --> 01:15:21,654
I'm sorry I ruined your
New Year's Eve party, Lieutenant Dan.

992
01:15:22,255 --> 01:15:24,557
She tasted like cigarettes.

993
01:15:40,740 --> 01:15:42,275
FORREST:
I guess Lieutenant Dan figured

994
01:15:42,342 --> 01:15:45,178
there's some things
you just can't change.

995
01:15:45,311 --> 01:15:50,450
He didn't want to be called crippled,
just like I didn't want to be called stupid.

996
01:15:55,955 --> 01:15:57,824
Happy New Year, Gump.

997
01:16:02,629 --> 01:16:03,997
The US Ping-Pong team

998
01:16:04,97 --> 01:16:06,366
met with President Nixon today
at an Oval Office ceremony...

999
01:16:06,466 --> 01:16:09,202
And wouldn't you know it?
A few months later,

1000
01:16:09,302 --> 01:16:13,273
they invited me and the Ping-Pong team
to visit the White House.

1001
01:16:13,340 --> 01:16:15,608
So, I went, again.

1002
01:16:16,443 --> 01:16:19,879
And I met the President
of the United States, again.

1003
01:16:20,647 --> 01:16:23,616
Only, this time, they didn't get us rooms
in a real fancy hotel.

1004
01:16:23,683 --> 01:16:27,53
So, are you enjoying yourself
in our nation's capital, young man?

1005
01:16:27,153 --> 01:16:30,156
- Yes, sir.
- Well, where are you staying?

1006
01:16:30,223 --> 01:16:32,859
- It's called the Hotel Ebbott.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.

1007
01:16:32,959 --> 01:16:36,62
I know of a much nicer hotel.
It's brand-new, very modern.

1008
01:16:36,162 --> 01:16:38,164
I'll have my people
take care of it for you.

1009
01:16:38,798 --> 01:16:39,899
Security, Frank Wills.

1010
01:16:39,999 --> 01:16:43,570
Yeah, sir, you might want
to send a maintenance man

1011
01:16:43,670 --> 01:16:46,339
over to that office across the way.

1012
01:16:46,406 --> 01:16:49,309
The lights are off, and they must be
looking for a fuse box or something,

1013
01:16:49,376 --> 01:16:52,78
'cause them flashlights,
they're keeping me awake.

1014
01:16:52,178 --> 01:16:53,813
Okay, sir. I'll check it out.

1015
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:55,582
- Thank you.
- No problem.

1016
01:16:55,682 --> 01:16:57,584
- Good night.
- Good night.

1017
01:17:01,221 --> 01:17:06,593
Therefore, I shall resign the presidency
effective at noon tomorrow.

1018
01:17:06,693 --> 01:17:08,728
Vice President Ford

1019
01:17:08,828 --> 01:17:13,333
will be sworn in as president
at that hour in this office.

1020
01:17:14,701 --> 01:17:19,506
As I recall the high hopes for America
with which we began this second term...

1021
01:17:24,744 --> 01:17:26,279
Sergeant Gump.

1022
01:17:26,780 --> 01:17:29,15
- Yes, sir!
- As you were.

1023
01:17:29,82 --> 01:17:32,218
I have your discharge papers.
Your service is up, son.

1024
01:17:35,622 --> 01:17:38,391
Does this mean
I can't play Ping-Pong no more?

1025
01:17:38,458 --> 01:17:40,427
For the Army it does.

1026
01:17:43,63 --> 01:17:47,934
FORREST: And just like that, my service
in the United States Army was over.

1027
01:17:53,239 --> 01:17:55,41
So, I went home.

1028
01:18:16,496 --> 01:18:19,933
- I'm home, Mama.
- I know, I know.

1029
01:18:21,568 --> 01:18:23,103
- Louise, he's here.
- FORREST: Now, when I got home,

1030
01:18:23,169 --> 01:18:27,240
I had no idea,
but Mama had had all sorts of visitors.

1031
01:18:27,340 --> 01:18:29,642
We've had all sorts of visitors, Forrest.

1032
01:18:29,743 --> 01:18:32,812
Everybody wants you
to use their Ping-Pong stuff.

1033
01:18:32,912 --> 01:18:36,683
One man even left a check for $25,000

1034
01:18:36,783 --> 01:18:40,253
if you'd be agreeable to saying
you liked using their paddle.

1035
01:18:40,353 --> 01:18:43,23
Oh, but, Mama,
I only like using my own paddle.

1036
01:18:43,123 --> 01:18:45,125
- Hi, Miss Louise.
- Hey, Forrest.

1037
01:18:45,191 --> 01:18:48,128
I know that. I know that.

1038
01:18:48,194 --> 01:18:50,864
But it's $25,000, Forrest.

1039
01:18:50,964 --> 01:18:55,635
I thought maybe you could hold it
for a while, see if it grows on you.

1040
01:18:55,702 --> 01:18:57,837
- Oh, you look good, Forrest.
- That Mama, she sure was right.

1041
01:18:57,937 --> 01:19:00,440
- You look real good.
- It's funny how things work out.

1042
01:19:00,540 --> 01:19:03,677
I didn't stay home for long,
because I'd made a promise to Bubba,

1043
01:19:03,777 --> 01:19:06,12
and I always try to keep my promise.

1044
01:19:06,112 --> 01:19:07,647
So, I went on down to Bayou La Batre

1045
01:19:07,714 --> 01:19:11,484
to meet Bubba's family
and make their introduction.

1046
01:19:11,551 --> 01:19:15,221
Are you crazy, orjust plain stupid?

1047
01:19:15,955 --> 01:19:18,191
Stupid is as stupid does, Mrs. Blue.

1048
01:19:18,291 --> 01:19:19,659
I guess.

1049
01:19:20,660 --> 01:19:24,230
And, of course,
I paid my respect to Bubba himself.

1050
01:19:26,232 --> 01:19:28,802
Hey, Bubba, it's me, Forrest Gump.

1051
01:19:31,905 --> 01:19:35,975
I remember everything you said,
and I got it all figured out.

1052
01:19:38,745 --> 01:19:45,552
I'm taking the $24,562
and 47 cents that I got...

1053
01:19:46,653 --> 01:19:50,223
Or, that's left after a new hair cut
and a new suit,

1054
01:19:50,323 --> 01:19:52,258
and I took Mama out
to a real fancy dinner,

1055
01:19:52,359 --> 01:19:55,595
and I bought a bus ticket
and three Dr. Peppers.

1056
01:19:56,162 --> 01:19:57,931
Tell me something.

1057
01:19:58,998 --> 01:20:01,101
SHRIMPER: Are you stupid
or something?

1058
01:20:01,201 --> 01:20:03,236
Stupid is as stupid does, sir.

1059
01:20:03,336 --> 01:20:06,272
Well, that's what's left after me saying,

1060
01:20:07,207 --> 01:20:09,342
"When I was in China
on the All-America Ping-Pong team,

1061
01:20:09,442 --> 01:20:13,246
"I just loved playing Ping-Pong with
my Flex-O-Light Ping-Pong paddle,"

1062
01:20:13,346 --> 01:20:14,581
which everybody knows isn't true,

1063
01:20:14,681 --> 01:20:16,49
but Mama says it's just a little white lie

1064
01:20:16,116 --> 01:20:18,284
so it wouldn't hurt nobody.

1065
01:20:19,719 --> 01:20:25,625
So, anyway, I'm putting all that on gas,
ropes and new nets

1066
01:20:26,393 --> 01:20:28,128
and a brand-new shrimping boat.

1067
01:20:49,816 --> 01:20:53,86
Now, Bubba had told me everything
he knew about shrimping,

1068
01:20:53,153 --> 01:20:55,488
but you know what I found out?

1069
01:20:57,157 --> 01:20:59,492
Shrimping is tough.

1070
01:21:01,728 --> 01:21:03,563
I only caught five.

1071
01:21:03,663 --> 01:21:05,498
A couple more,
you could have yourself a cocktail.

1072
01:21:05,598 --> 01:21:06,666
(CHUCKLING)

1073
01:21:10,336 --> 01:21:12,105
Hey, you ever think
about naming this old boat?

1074
01:21:12,172 --> 01:21:14,841
It's bad luck
to have a boat without a name.

1075
01:21:17,243 --> 01:21:22,48
I'd never named a boat before,
but there was only one I could think of,

1076
01:21:23,249 --> 01:21:26,453
the most beautiful name
in the wide world.

1077
01:21:30,790 --> 01:21:33,993
(GET DOWN TONIGHT PLAYING)

1078
01:21:47,474 --> 01:21:50,310
Now, I hadn't heard from Jenny
in a long while,

1079
01:21:50,377 --> 01:21:52,912
but I thought about her a lot,

1080
01:21:53,46 --> 01:21:56,516
and I hoped that whatever
she was doing made her happy.

1081
01:23:42,789 --> 01:23:45,325
I thought about Jenny all the time.

1082
01:24:04,844 --> 01:24:05,845
(LAUGHS)

1083
01:24:09,983 --> 01:24:11,151
Hey!

1084
01:24:35,8 --> 01:24:39,679
Lieutenant Dan,
what are you doing here?

1085
01:24:39,779 --> 01:24:43,683
Well, thought I'd try out my sea legs.

1086
01:24:43,783 --> 01:24:47,520
But you ain't got no legs,
Lieutenant Dan.

1087
01:24:47,587 --> 01:24:49,889
Yes, I know that.

1088
01:24:50,223 --> 01:24:52,258
You wrote me a letter, you idiot.

1089
01:24:52,392 --> 01:24:56,930
Well, well. Captain Forrest Gump.
I had to see this for myself.

1090
01:24:58,565 --> 01:25:05,438
And I told you if you were ever
a shrimp boat captain

1091
01:25:05,572 --> 01:25:08,174
that I'd be your first mate.
Well, here I am.

1092
01:25:08,241 --> 01:25:11,378
- I am a man of my word.
- Okay.

1093
01:25:11,444 --> 01:25:15,448
Yeah, but don't you be thinking that
I'm going to be calling you "sir."

1094
01:25:15,582 --> 01:25:16,916
No, sir.

1095
01:25:25,792 --> 01:25:28,94
That's my boat.

1096
01:25:30,697 --> 01:25:36,136
DAN: I have a feeling if we head
due east, we'll find some shrimp,

1097
01:25:36,269 --> 01:25:37,871
so take a left.

1098
01:25:39,272 --> 01:25:42,208
- Take a left!
- Which way?

1099
01:25:42,275 --> 01:25:44,944
Over there! They're over there!

1100
01:25:45,612 --> 01:25:49,449
- Get on the wheel and take a left!
- Okay.

1101
01:25:50,650 --> 01:25:54,788
Gump, what are you doing?
Take a left! Left!

1102
01:25:57,157 --> 01:26:00,794
That's where we're going
to find those shrimp, my boy!

1103
01:26:02,395 --> 01:26:03,963
That's where we'll find them.

1104
01:26:16,643 --> 01:26:20,780
- Still no shrimp, Lieutenant Dan.
- Okay, so I was wrong.

1105
01:26:21,481 --> 01:26:24,684
How are we going to find them?

1106
01:26:24,818 --> 01:26:27,320
Well, maybe you should
just pray for shrimp.

(SINGING GOSPEL MUSIC)

1108
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,629
FORREST:
So, I went to church every Sunday.

1109
01:26:37,864 --> 01:26:39,866
Sometimes Lieutenant Dan came, too,

1110
01:26:39,999 --> 01:26:43,2
though I think
he left the praying up to me.

1111
01:26:58,485 --> 01:27:02,856
- No shrimp.
- Where the hell's this God of yours?

1112
01:27:03,690 --> 01:27:09,396
It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that,
'cause right then, God showed up.

1113
01:27:26,246 --> 01:27:31,84
- DAN: You'll never sink this boat!
- Now, me, I was scared,

1114
01:27:31,217 --> 01:27:34,254
but Lieutenant Dan, he was mad.

1115
01:27:34,387 --> 01:27:35,722
Come on!

1116
01:27:38,858 --> 01:27:44,64

Come on, you son of a *****!

1117
01:27:46,199 --> 01:27:50,570
It's time for a showdown! You and me!

1118
01:27:50,704 --> 01:27:54,574
I'm right here! Come and get me!

You'll never sink this boat!

1121
01:28:02,282 --> 01:28:04,451
Hurricane Carmen
came through here yesterday,

1122
01:28:04,584 --> 01:28:07,120
destroying nearly everything in its path.

1123
01:28:07,253 --> 01:28:09,756
And as in other towns
up and down the coast,

1124
01:28:09,923 --> 01:28:12,292
Bayou La Batre's
entire shrimping industry

1125
01:28:12,392 --> 01:28:16,262
has fallen victim to Carmen
and has been left in utter ruin.

1126
01:28:16,396 --> 01:28:19,532
Speaking with local officials,
this reporter has learned,

1127
01:28:19,599 --> 01:28:23,69
in fact, only one shrimping boat
actually survived the storm.

1128
01:28:23,436 --> 01:28:26,72
Louise. Louise, there's Forrest.

1129
01:28:26,773 --> 01:28:28,775
FORREST: After that,
shrimping was easy.

1130
01:28:34,447 --> 01:28:37,584
Since people still needed
them shrimps for shrimp cocktails

1131
01:28:37,650 --> 01:28:41,788
and barbecues and all,
and we were the only boat left standing,

Bubba-Gump Shrimp's what they got.

1133

We got a whole bunch of boats,
12 Jennys,

1134
01:28:49,963 --> 01:28:53,466

hats that say "Bubba-Gump" on them.

1135
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:57,103

It's a household name.

the Bubba-Gump Shrimp Corporation?

than Davy Crockett.

but that tops them all.

Yeah, well, you'll have to tell them
to call him back.

- DOCTOR: I'll see you tomorrow.
- All right.

We sure got you straightened out,
didn't we, boy?

1163
01:31:50,310 --> 01:31:54,280
- What's the matter, Mama?
- I'm dying, Forrest.

- Why are you dying, Mama?
- It's my time.

01:32:18,838 --> 01:32:20,707
It's just my time.

1167
01:32:22,175 --> 01:32:26,346
Now, don't you be afraid, sweetheart.

1168

but I was destined to be your mama.

- I did the best I could.
- You did good, Mama.

1172

Well, I happen to believe
you make your own destiny.

1173
01:32:52,72 --> 01:32:55,342
You have to do the best
with what God gave you.

to figure that out for yourself.

what you're going to get.

things so I could understand them.

for the number seven bus?

and a war hero,

and a college graduate,
the city fathers of Greenbow, Alabama

1188
01:34:03,576 --> 01:34:06,780
decided to get together
and offered me a fine job.

1189
01:34:08,148 --> 01:34:11,818
So, I never went back to work
for Lieutenant Dan,

1190
01:34:11,951 --> 01:34:14,654
though he did take care
of my Bubba-Gump money.

1191
01:34:14,788 --> 01:34:19,392
He got me invested
in some kind of fruit company.

1192
01:34:19,459 --> 01:34:21,61
And so then, I got a call from him saying

1193
01:34:21,127 --> 01:34:24,597
we don't have to worry about money
no more, and I said,

1194
01:34:24,664 --> 01:34:26,966
"That's good. One less thing."

(SINGING GOSPEL MUSIC)

1196
01:34:30,3 --> 01:34:33,940
Now, Mama said there's only
so much fortune a man really needs,

1197
01:34:34,674 --> 01:34:37,510
and the rest is just for showing off.

1198
01:34:37,610 --> 01:34:41,481
So, I gave a whole bunch of it
to the Foursquare gospel church,

1199
01:34:43,950 --> 01:34:48,121
and I gave a whole bunch to the
Bayou La Batre fishing hospital.

1200
01:34:50,990 --> 01:34:55,528
And even though Bubba was dead
and Lieutenant Dan said I was nuts,

1201
01:34:55,662 --> 01:34:58,298
I gave Bubba's mama Bubba's share.

1202
01:35:02,502 --> 01:35:04,204
You know what?

1203
01:35:05,472 --> 01:35:08,475
She didn't have to work
in nobody's kitchen no more.

1204
01:35:08,541 --> 01:35:10,176
That smells wonderful.

1205
01:35:11,11 --> 01:35:14,948
And 'cause I was a gazillionaire
and I liked doing it so much,

1206
01:35:15,15 --> 01:35:17,350
I cut that grass for free.

1207
01:35:21,154 --> 01:35:24,24
But at night time
when there was nothing to do

1208
01:35:24,124 --> 01:35:26,493
and the house was all empty,

1209
01:35:27,494 --> 01:35:29,863
I'd always think of Jenny.

1210
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:36,730
And then, she was there.

1211
01:37:09,729 --> 01:37:12,899
- Hello, Forrest.
- Hello, Jenny.

1212
01:37:24,444 --> 01:37:27,80
Jenny came back and stayed with me.

1213
01:37:28,648 --> 01:37:32,318
Maybe it was because
she had nowhere else to go,

1214
01:37:32,452 --> 01:37:36,156
or maybe it was because she was
so tired, 'cause she went to bed

1215
01:37:36,289 --> 01:37:40,260
and slept and slept,
like she hadn't slept in years.

1216
01:37:41,494 --> 01:37:43,797
It was wonderful having her home.

1217
01:37:45,131 --> 01:37:50,270
Every day we'd take a walk and
I'd jabber on like a monkey in a tree,

1218
01:37:50,336 --> 01:37:52,872
and she'd listen about Ping-Ponging,
and shrimping,

1219
01:37:52,972 --> 01:37:57,277
and Mama making a trip up to heaven.
I did all the talking.

1220
01:37:57,344 --> 01:38:00,680
Jenny most of the time was real quiet.

1221
01:38:40,854 --> 01:38:44,57
How could you do this?

just aren't enough rocks.

I never really knew why she came back,
but I didn't care.

1225
01:39:31,237 --> 01:39:35,542
It was like olden times.
We was like peas and carrots again.

1226
01:39:37,610 --> 01:39:41,948
Every day, I'd pick pretty flowers
and put them in her room for her,

1227
01:39:43,450 --> 01:39:47,53
and she gave me the best gift anyone
could ever get in the wide world.

1228
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:49,956
- New shoes.
- They make them just for running.

1229
01:39:54,961 --> 01:39:58,264
And she even showed me how to dance.

1230
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:10,643
And, well, we was like family,
Jenny and me.

1231
01:40:14,414 --> 01:40:17,317

I'd make a good husband, Jenny.

1239
01:41:09,502 --> 01:41:11,538
You would, Forrest.

1240
01:41:13,373 --> 01:41:15,709
But you won't marry me.

I'm not a smart man,

01:41:35,61 --> 01:41:37,464
but I know what love is.

- I'm not running.

1246
01:44:04,444 --> 01:44:09,783
That day, for no particular reason,
I decided to go for a little run.

1247
01:44:10,950 --> 01:44:15,355
So, I ran to the end of the road,
and when I got there,

1248
01:44:15,455 --> 01:44:17,190

to the end of town.

01:44:26,633 --> 01:44:29,35
And I figured since I'd run this far,

1254
01:44:29,135 --> 01:44:32,372
maybe I'd just run across
the great state of Alabama.

1255
01:44:32,472 --> 01:44:33,673
And that's what I did.

1256
01:44:34,307 --> 01:44:36,876
I ran clear across Alabama.

1257
01:44:37,143 --> 01:44:40,313
For no particular reason,
I just kept on going.

1258
01:44:41,648 --> 01:44:43,216
I ran clear to the ocean.

1259
01:44:49,122 --> 01:44:52,292
And when I got there,
I figured since I'd gone this far,

1260
01:44:52,826 --> 01:44:55,662
might as well turn around
and just keep on going.

1261
01:44:59,399 --> 01:45:04,3
And when I got to another ocean,
I figured since I'd gone this far,

1265
01:45:20,253 --> 01:45:21,421
I went.

1266
01:45:21,521 --> 01:45:24,524
And so, you just ran.

01:45:26,259 --> 01:45:27,360

Why are you running?

- Are you running for women's rights?
- Or for the environment?

It's you. I can't believe it's really you.

1290
01:47:03,456 --> 01:47:08,595
Now, for some reason, what I was doing
seemed to make sense to people.

1291
01:47:08,762 --> 01:47:10,864
I mean, it was like an alarm
went off in my head, you know?

1292
01:47:10,964 --> 01:47:12,799

"Here's a guy that's got his act together.

And then, even more people joined in.

it gave people hope.

Now... Now, I don't know
anything about that,

1299
01:47:40,326 --> 01:47:42,896
but some of those people
asked me if I could help them out.

1300
01:47:43,129 --> 01:47:46,366
Hey, man, hey, listen, I was wondering
if you might help me, huh?

1301
01:47:46,466 --> 01:47:48,201
Listen, I'm in the
bumper sticker business

1302
01:47:48,301 --> 01:47:50,36
and I've been trying
to think up a good slogan.

1303
01:47:50,136 --> 01:47:53,239
And since you have been such a big
inspiration to the people around here,

1304
01:47:53,340 --> 01:47:55,241
I thought you might
be able to help me jump into...

a big pile of dog shit!

1308
01:48:08,521 --> 01:48:11,191
And some years later,
I heard that that fellow

1309
01:48:11,257 --> 01:48:13,93
did come up with
a bumper sticker slogan,

1310
01:48:13,193 --> 01:48:16,196
and he made a lot of money off of it.

1311
01:48:17,664 --> 01:48:19,866
Another time, I was running along,

1312
01:48:19,999 --> 01:48:23,269
somebody who had lost all his money
in the T-shirt business,

1313
01:48:23,370 --> 01:48:25,405
he wanted to put my face on a T-shirt,

1314
01:48:25,505 --> 01:48:28,441
but he couldn't draw that well,
and he didn't have a camera.

1315
01:48:28,541 --> 01:48:32,45
Here, use this one.
Nobody likes that color anyway.

FORREST: Have a nice day.

1317
01:48:40,186 --> 01:48:41,287
Well, some years later,

1318
01:48:41,388 --> 01:48:45,291
I found out that that man
did come up with an idea for a T-shirt.

1319
01:48:45,392 --> 01:48:47,761
He made a lot of money off of it.

1320
01:48:50,563 --> 01:48:54,968
Anyway, like I was saying,
I had a lot of company.

1321
01:48:56,236 --> 01:48:57,404
My mama always said,

1322
01:48:57,470 --> 01:49:01,908
"You got to put the past behind you
before you can move on."

1323
01:49:03,576 --> 01:49:06,913
And I think that's what
my running was all about.

1324
01:49:07,747 --> 01:49:11,751
I had run for three years, two months,

1325
01:49:11,985 --> 01:49:14,320

1329
01:50:08,975 --> 01:50:11,444
Now what are we supposed to do?

1330
01:50:12,379 --> 01:50:16,649
And just like that,
my running days was over.

1331
01:50:18,618 --> 01:50:20,353

01:51:32,792 --> 01:51:34,461
Forrest!

1351
01:51:34,728 --> 01:51:37,964
How you doing? Come in, come in!

1352
01:51:38,64 --> 01:51:39,265
I got your letter.

1353
01:51:39,366 --> 01:51:41,968
I was wondering about that.

1354
01:51:43,536 --> 01:51:45,305
Is this your house?

1355
01:51:45,405 --> 01:51:48,475
Yeah. It's messy right now.
I just got off work.

1356
01:51:48,575 --> 01:51:52,278
It's nice. You got air conditioning.

1357
01:51:59,152 --> 01:52:01,221
- Thank you.
- I ate some.

1358
01:52:03,990 --> 01:52:09,429
Hey, I kept a scrapbook
of your clippings and everything.

1359
01:52:09,562 --> 01:52:11,164
There you are.

1360
01:52:12,766 --> 01:52:14,134
And this, I got you running.

1361
01:52:17,103 --> 01:52:19,272
I ran a long way,

1362
01:52:19,773 --> 01:52:21,608
for a long time.

1363
01:52:23,810 --> 01:52:25,311
And there...

1364
01:52:31,818 --> 01:52:35,288
Listen, Forrest,
I don't know how to say this.

1365
01:52:37,791 --> 01:52:42,128
I just I want to apologize
for anything that I ever did to you,

1366
01:52:42,262 --> 01:52:47,500
'cause I was messed up
for a long time, and...

1367
01:52:47,834 --> 01:52:48,835
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

1368
01:52:49,169 --> 01:52:50,170
Yoo-hoo!

1369
01:52:50,303 --> 01:52:51,938
- Hey.
- Hi.

1370
01:52:52,138 --> 01:52:53,139
Hey, you.

1371
01:52:54,307 --> 01:52:57,277
- This is an old friend from Alabama.
- How do you do?

1372
01:52:57,344 --> 01:53:00,447
JENNY: Listen, next week my schedule
changes, so I'll be able to... But thanks...

1373
01:53:00,513 --> 01:53:02,549
No problem. Got to go, Jen,
I'm double-parked.

1374
01:53:02,649 --> 01:53:04,517
- Okay. Thanks.
- Bye.

1375
01:53:07,987 --> 01:53:10,724
This is my very good friend, Mr. Gump.
Can you say hi to him?

1376
01:53:10,824 --> 01:53:13,893
- Hello, Mr. Gump.
- Hello.

1377
01:53:13,993 --> 01:53:16,996
- Can I go watch TV now?
- Yes, you can. Just keep it low.

1378
01:53:19,833 --> 01:53:23,169
- You're a mama, Jenny.
- I'm a mama.

1379
01:53:26,39 --> 01:53:27,874
His name's Forrest.

1380
01:53:29,9 --> 01:53:30,343
Like me.

1381
01:53:31,978 --> 01:53:34,80
I named him after his daddy.

1382
01:53:35,48 --> 01:53:37,517
He got a daddy named Forrest, too?

1383
01:53:38,818 --> 01:53:40,854
You're his daddy, Forrest.

1384
01:53:55,335 --> 01:53:56,536
Hey.

1385
01:53:57,704 --> 01:54:00,573
Forrest, look at me. Look at me, Forrest.

1386
01:54:03,176 --> 01:54:07,280
There's nothing you need to do, okay?
You didn't do anything wrong.

1387
01:54:07,847 --> 01:54:09,215
Okay?

1388
01:54:13,553 --> 01:54:15,422
Isn't he beautiful?

1389
01:54:16,423 --> 01:54:19,392
He's the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen.

1390
01:54:23,196 --> 01:54:24,264
But...

1391
01:54:27,934 --> 01:54:30,804
Is he smart, or...

1392
01:54:30,904 --> 01:54:34,908
He's very smart.
He's one of the smartest in his class.

1393
01:54:44,250 --> 01:54:46,720
Yeah, it's okay. Go talk to him.

1394
01:54:56,62 --> 01:54:58,898
- What are you watching?
- Bert and Ernie.

1395
01:55:21,988 --> 01:55:23,790
Forrest,

1396
01:55:25,258 --> 01:55:26,793
I'm sick.

1397
01:55:29,462 --> 01:55:33,99
What, do you have
a cough due to a cold?

1398
01:55:33,166 --> 01:55:35,535
I have some kind of virus,

1399
01:55:35,635 --> 01:55:38,338
and the doctors don't...
They don't know what it is,

1400
01:55:38,471 --> 01:55:41,474
and there isn't anything
they can do about it.

1401
01:55:45,845 --> 01:55:48,148
You could come home with me.

1402
01:55:49,816 --> 01:55:55,488
Jenny, you and little Forrest could
come stay at my house in Greenbow.

1403
01:55:59,826 --> 01:56:02,629
I'll take care of you if you're sick.

1404
01:56:04,998 --> 01:56:07,300
Would you marry me, Forrest?

1405
01:56:12,539 --> 01:56:13,807
Okay.

1406
01:56:14,841 --> 01:56:16,509
MINISTER: Please take your seats.

1407
01:56:20,347 --> 01:56:22,682
Forrest? It's time to start.

1408
01:56:42,68 --> 01:56:43,636
Hi.

1409
01:56:44,537 --> 01:56:46,39
Your tie.

1410
01:56:58,585 --> 01:57:17,504
Lieutenant Dan.

1411
01:57:18,371 --> 01:57:20,6
Hello, Forrest.

1412
01:57:20,707 --> 01:57:23,343
You got new legs. New legs!

1413
01:57:24,577 --> 01:57:28,348
Yeah. I got new legs. Custom-made.

1414
01:57:29,82 --> 01:57:33,86
Titanium alloy.
It's what they use on the space shuttle.

1415
01:57:36,923 --> 01:57:38,425
Magic legs.

1416
01:57:40,427 --> 01:57:44,798
This is my fiancée, Susan.

1417
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:50,970
- Lieutenant Dan.
- Hi, Forrest.

1418
01:57:53,73 --> 01:57:56,276
Lieutenant Dan, this is my Jenny.

1419
01:57:56,643 --> 01:57:59,646
Hey. It's nice to meet you finally.

1420
01:58:09,789 --> 01:58:13,960
MINISTER: Do you, Forrest,
take Jenny to be your wife?

1421
01:58:15,829 --> 01:58:20,66
Do you, Jenny,
take Forrest to be your husband?

1422
01:58:21,434 --> 01:58:24,804
And so I pronounce you man and wife.

1423
01:58:55,668 --> 01:58:57,537
- Hey.
- Hey.

1424
01:59:11,217 --> 01:59:13,19
Hey, Forrest.

1425
01:59:18,358 --> 01:59:20,126
Were you scared in Vietnam?

1426
01:59:21,795 --> 01:59:24,130
Yes. Well, I...

1427
01:59:25,465 --> 01:59:27,200
I don't know.

1428
01:59:27,901 --> 01:59:32,872
Sometimes it would stop raining long
enough for the stars to come out.

1429
01:59:35,975 --> 01:59:38,44
And then it was nice.

1430
01:59:41,414 --> 01:59:45,385
It was like just before the sun
goes to bed down on the bayou.

1431
01:59:46,653 --> 01:59:50,557
There was always
a million sparkles on the water.

1432
01:59:52,325 --> 01:59:56,262
Like that mountain lake.
It was so clear, Jenny,

1433
01:59:56,396 --> 02:00:00,967
it looked like there were two skies,
one on top of the other.

1434
02:00:03,503 --> 02:00:06,573
And then, in the desert,
when the sun comes up,

1435
02:00:09,9 --> 02:00:13,179
I couldn't tell where heaven stopped

1436
02:00:13,747 --> 02:00:16,116
and the earth began.

1437
02:00:17,350 --> 02:00:19,252
It was so beautiful.

1438
02:00:23,957 --> 02:00:27,27
I wish I could've been there with you.

1439
02:00:30,130 --> 02:00:31,531
You were.

1440
02:00:42,275 --> 02:00:43,710
I love you.

1441
02:00:48,114 --> 02:00:51,451
You died on a Saturday morning.

1442
02:00:53,153 --> 02:00:56,890
And I had you placed
here under our tree.

1443
02:01:01,795 --> 02:01:06,633
And I had that house of your father's
bulldozed to the ground.

1444
02:01:10,737 --> 02:01:12,405
Mama

1445
02:01:13,506 --> 02:01:18,511
always said that dying was a part of life.

1446
02:01:21,915 --> 02:01:24,250
I sure wish it wasn't.

1447
02:01:26,920 --> 02:01:30,690
Little Forrest is doing just fine.

1448
02:01:32,25 --> 02:01:33,93
But...

1449
02:01:33,360 --> 02:01:36,29
About to start school again soon,

1450
02:01:37,864 --> 02:01:41,668
and I make his breakfast, lunch
and dinner every day.

1451
02:01:43,837 --> 02:01:49,843
I make sure he combs his hair
and brushes his teeth every day.

1452
02:01:52,946 --> 02:01:55,548
Teaching him how to play Ping-Pong.

1453
02:01:56,850 --> 02:01:57,884
Okay.

1454
02:01:58,118 --> 02:01:59,285
He's really good.

1455
02:01:59,386 --> 02:02:01,521
Forrest, you go.

1456
02:02:05,725 --> 02:02:07,293
We fish a lot.

1457
02:02:10,864 --> 02:02:14,300
(SOBBING) And every night, we read
a book. He's so smart, Jenny.

1458
02:02:17,570 --> 02:02:19,806
You'd be so proud of him.

1459
02:02:21,541 --> 02:02:22,976
I am.

1460
02:02:24,44 --> 02:02:27,247
He wrote you a letter.

1461
02:02:28,815 --> 02:02:30,884
And he says I can't read it.

1462
02:02:30,984 --> 02:02:34,554
I'm not supposed to,
so I'll just leave it here for you.

1463
02:02:50,603 --> 02:02:51,938
Jenny,

1464
02:02:57,744 --> 02:03:00,947
I don't know if Mama was right,

1465
02:03:02,282 --> 02:03:03,783
or if it's Lieutenant Dan.

1466
02:03:03,917 --> 02:03:06,486
I don't know

1467
02:03:06,586 --> 02:03:11,91
if we each have a destiny,

1468
02:03:13,126 --> 02:03:18,264
or if we're all just floating around
accidental-like on a breeze.

1469
02:03:22,769 --> 02:03:24,604
But I think

1470
02:03:26,473 --> 02:03:28,274
maybe it's both.

1471
02:03:32,612 --> 02:03:35,482
Maybe both is happening
at the same time.

1472
02:03:41,621 --> 02:03:43,623
But I miss you, Jenny.

1473
02:03:49,996 --> 02:03:54,401
If there's anything you need,
I won't be far away.

1474
02:04:29,703 --> 02:04:32,672
Here's your bus. Okay.

1475
02:04:34,341 --> 02:04:37,677
Hey. I know this.

1476
02:04:37,777 --> 02:04:40,680
I'm gonna show that
for show-and-tell because

1477
02:04:40,780 --> 02:04:43,450
Grandma used to read it to you.

1478
02:04:43,550 --> 02:04:45,685
My favorite book.

1479
02:04:49,22 --> 02:04:50,523
Here we are.

1480
02:04:50,690 --> 02:04:52,125
Okay.

1481
02:04:53,860 --> 02:04:55,362
Here you go.

1482
02:05:00,233 --> 02:05:02,736
Hey, Forrest, don't...

1483
02:05:06,206 --> 02:05:09,909
- I wanted to tell you, I love you.
- I love you, too, Daddy.

1484
02:05:11,911 --> 02:05:14,714
I'll be right here when you get back.

1485
02:05:19,252 --> 02:05:22,489
You understand this is
the bus to school, now, don't you?

1486
02:05:22,589 --> 02:05:26,126
Of course, and you are Dorothy Harris,
and I'm Forrest Gump.
