Forrest Gump (1994) Edit

A big old warehouse. We even have hats that say "Bubba Gump" on them.

A couple more, you could have yourself a cocktail.

A few years later, that angry little man

A gardener from Greenbow, Alabama, stopping only to sleep,

A good friend of mine was in the bed right next door.

A legless freak! Look! Look! Look at me!

A lot. "F" this and "F" that.

A promise is a promise, Lieutenant Dan.

About a half mile from the town of Greenbow, Alabama.

About to start school again soon,

After I get out the Army.

After only five years of playing football, I got a college degree.

After that, Mama went to the hotel to lay down,

After that, shrimping was easy.

All American Football Team at the Oval Office today.

All right, but your supper's ready if y'all want to eat.

All right, Forrest, you can open your eyes now.

All right! Bobbi!

All right.

All right...

All the way up through high school.

Always said that dying was a part of life.

Ambush!

America owes you a debt of gratitude, son.

An imbecile, a moron who goes on television

And 'cause I was a gazillionaire and I liked doing it so much,

And a brand new shrimping boat.

And a few years after that, somebody shot his little brother, too,

And a national celebrity, and a shrimping boat captain,

And act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks or something.

And after that, I got more company. And then, even more people joined in.

And always answer every question with, "Yes, Drill Sergeant!"

And anyway, that's how I got my name,

And as in other towns up and down the coast,

And because he didn't have no legs,

And big old fat rain,

And can you believe it? I got to go to college, too.

And come to be brutalized and killed in their own communities

And even I know that ain't something you can find just around the corner.

And even introduced me to some of her new friends.

And even though Bubba was dead and Lieutenant Dan said I was nuts,

And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny.

And every time he said the "F" word,

And every time I went back looking for Bubba,

And except for all the beer cans and the barbecue, it was.

And gave everybody a turkey sandwich.

And get off and go one block left to 1947 Henry Street, Apartment 4.

And get off and go one block left to 1947 Henry Street, Apartment 4.

And get your white ass away from that window.

And guess what?

And had a conversation all the way to school.

And hat cases and sample cases.

And he had him a guitar case.

And he liked to say the "F" word.

And he made a lot of money off of it.

And he says I can't read it.

And he's the president of the Berkeley chapter of SDS.

And her daddy was some kind of a farmer.

And her mama before her cooked shrimp,

And his mama cooked shrimp,

And how I was looking forward to getting a letter from her

And how she'd discovered ways to expand her mind

And I always try to keep my promise.

And I bought a bus ticket and three Dr. Peppers.

And I don't know when I went on my first outdoor picnic.

And I figured since I'd run this far,

And I gave a whole bunch to the Bayou La Batre fishing hospital.

And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground.

And I had you placed here under our tree.

And I hoped that whatever she was doing made her happy.

And I make his breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

And I met the President of the United States, again.

And I think that's what my running was all about.

And I told you if you were ever a shrimp boat captain

And I took Mama out to a real fancy dinner,

And I want to reach people on the personal level.

And I was already getting yelled at.

And in China, they never go to church.

And it was the happiest time in my life.

And just like that, my running days was over.

And just like that, she was gone, out of my life again.

And just like that, she was gone.

And learn how to live in harmony,

And makes a fool out of himself in front of the whole damn country,

And Mama making a trip up to heaven. I did all the talking.

And next to Mama, no one ever talked to me or asked me questions.

And now, for your listening and viewing pleasure,

And on my way back to find Bubba,

And one day, out of the blue clear sky, I got a letter from Jenny,

And ran for president.

And she even showed me how to dance.

And she gave me the best gift anyone could ever get in the wide world.

And she was thrown out of school.

And she'd listen about Ping Ponging, and shrimping,

And showing them how to play Ping Pong.

And since you have been such a big inspiration to the people around here,

And since, number one, I wasn't hungry, but thirsty,

And slept and slept, like she hadn't slept in years.

And so I pronounce you man and wife.

And so then, I got a call from him saying

And so, you just ran.

And some of them people were loud and pushy.

And some years later, I heard that that fellow

And some years later, I heard that that fellow

And that's what I'm doing here.

And the earth began.

And the house was all empty,

And the rest is just for showing off.

And then it was nice.

And then this one time, Jenny wasn't on the bus to go to school.

And then, just like that,

And then, she was there.

And there isn't anything they can do about it.

And there was always something to do.

And there...

And this Fourth is witnessing one of the

And this, I got you running.

And told her how I thought about her always,

And was signing some autographs,

And we walked right by Benson's furniture and appliance store,

And we were always looking for this guy named Charlie.

And what he did was,

And when I got there,

And when I got there, I figured since I'd gone this far,

And when I got to another ocean, I figured since I'd gone this far,

And wouldn't you know it? A few months later,

And you don't ever come back.

And you tell it so well, with such enthusiasm.

And, hey, Forrest, all the shrimp you can eat.

And, of course, I paid my respect to Bubba himself.

And, well, we was like family, Jenny and me.

Any friendlies out there?

Anybody want to go to San Francisco?

Anyway, I guess you could say me and Mama was on our own.

Anyway, like I was saying, I had a lot of company.

Anyway, like I was saying, shrimp is the fruit of the sea.

Are you coming along?

Are you crazy, or just plain stupid?

Are you doing this for the homeless?

Are you retarded, or just plain stupid?

Are you stupid or something?

Are you stupid or something?

Are you telling me you're the owner of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Corporation?

Aren't I going to be me?

As I recall the high hopes for America with which we began this second term...

As they sleep in their beds at night.

At the school house door thought it would be a good idea

Base to Jenny 1.

Because a man who owns a theater in Memphis, Tennessee,

Because we are awakening the American people

Because we, the Black Panthers, are against the war in Vietnam.

Before you go, why don't you get your ass down to the corner

Bit me directly in the buttocks.

Boy, I heard some whoppers in my time, but that tops them all.

Bubba did have a fine idea.

Bubba Gump Shrimp. It's a household name.

Bubba Gump Shrimp's what they got.

Bubba was gonna be a shrimping boat captain,

Bubba was my best good friend. I had to make sure that he was okay.

Bubba?

Bubba's family knew everything

But all I did was play Ping Pong.

But at night time when there was nothing to do

But he couldn't draw that well, and he didn't have a camera.

But he didn't die.

But he sure is fast!

But his back is as crooked as a politician.

But I can run like the wind blows.

But I do remember the first time I heard

But I know what love is.

But I miss you, Jenny.

But I think

But I think it was her grandma's dog.

But I think some of America's best young men served in this war.

But I thought about her a lot,

But I'd go and visit her every chance I got.

But instead he died right there by that river in Vietnam.

But instead, they decided the best way for me to fight the Communists

But it's $25,000, Forrest.

But Lieutenant Dan, he was mad.

But Mama says it's just a little white lie

But most of all, I thought about Jenny.

But my boy Forrest is gonna get

But now I'm nothing but a goddamn cripple,

But now that he's dead, that means I gotta be the captain.

But only after Governor George Wallace had carried out his symbolic threat

But some of those people asked me if I could help them out.

But somebody thought that it wasn't.

But that wasn't a bad thing,

But we didn't mind. Our house was never empty.

But we're gonna straighten him right up, now, aren't we, Forrest?

But you ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan.

But you won't marry me.

But...

By being on the Tuscaloosa campus, he kept the mob from gathering...

Can I have a ride?

Can you tell us, what was China like?

Can't hear... Can't hear...

Charles Cooper brings us this report.

Cleveland, he was from Detroit.

Coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp...

College ran by real fast, 'cause I played so much football.

Come back here, you!

Come on in, sit down over here.

Come on, baby. Shake it up. Shake it up, now.

Come on, Forrest, you can do it.

Come on, Forrest.

Come on, he's getting away! Move it!

Come on, Lenore. We don't need this shit!

Come on, let me show you. Here.

Come on, man, come up here, man.

Come on, move out.

Come on! Peace!

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Yeah, you! Come on. Move, move, move.

Come on. Let's go.

Commander of the National Guard, and Governor Wallace.

Congratulations, son.

Congratulations, son.

Congratulations. How does it feel to be an All American?

Congratulations. How does it feel to be an All American?

Cooper, Larson,

Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far,

Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far,

Death is just a part of life,

Decided to get together and offered me a fine job.

Destroying nearly everything in its path.

Did come up with a bumper sticker slogan,

Did you go to a girls' college,

Did you hear me, stupid?

Did you hear what I said?

Did you hear what I said?

Did you hear what I said?

Did you lose your pecker in the war or something?

Direct from Hollywood, California, our very own beatnik beauty,

Do you ever dream, Forrest,

Do you know what it's like not to be able to use your legs?

Do you see that?

Do you understand what I'm saying, Gump?

Do you want a chocolate?

Do you, Forrest, take Jenny to be your wife?

Does this mean I can't play Ping Pong no more?

Don't ever let anybody tell you they're better than you, Forrest.

Don't you know we in a war here?

Earl, what's going on?

Eight, seven, six, five,

Even Lieutenant Dan would come and watch me play.

Even when I didn't have anyone to play Ping Pong with.

Every day we'd take a walk and I'd jabber on like a monkey in a tree,

Every day, I'd pick pretty flowers and put them in her room for her,

Everybody wants you to use their Ping Pong stuff.

Far, far away from here.

Far, far away from here.

Federal troops enforcing a court order

Fire in the hole!

Follow me, let's go!

For a long time.

For more than two years now, a man named Forrest Gump,

For no particular reason, I just kept on going.

For no particular reason.

For no particular reason.

For some reason, Jenny didn't never want to go home.

For some reason, Ping Pong came very natural to me.

For the Army it does.

For the second time in 17 days,

Forrest Gump, it's supper time! Forrest...

Forrest Gump, John Lennon.

Forrest Gump, the gardener from Greenbow, Alabama,

Forrest Gump!

Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump.

Forrest has a phone call.

Forrest is right here.

Forrest,

Forrest,

Forrest, I can't keep this.

Forrest, I do love you.

Forrest, I'm so proud of you. Here, I'll hold this for you.

Forrest, let me down!

Forrest, look at me. Look at me, Forrest.

Forrest, this is Wesley.

Forrest, we have very different lives, you know.

Forrest, what are you doing here?

Forrest, why did you do that?

Forrest, why'd this happen?

Forrest, you don't know what love is.

Forrest, you go.

Forrest, you stay away from me, okay? You just stay away from me, please.

Forrest!

Forrest!

Forrest!

Forrest! Forrest!

Forrest! Forrest!

Forrest! Quit it! Quit it!

Forrest? It's time to start.

Forrest.

Four, three, two, one!

Fourth Platoon, on your feet.

From heat exhaustion, fell into the arms of...

From that day on, if I was going somewhere,

From that day on, we was always together.

From the racial onslaught of the pig

From the United States of America.

General Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Get down!

Get in the truck! Let's move it!

Get in the truck.

Get on it!

Get out of here!

Get out! Come on, go! Go! Go!

Get that pig up here, God damn it!

Get that thing... Fuck it, get it in the tree line!

Get your ass out of here!

Get your hands down! Do not salute me.

Go on! Get out of here!

God damn bless America.

God damn it, Gump! You're a goddamn genius!

God damn it, put me down!

God damn it! Mac!

God damn, son.

God is listening? What a crock of shit.

Governor Wallace, I take it from that statement, that...

Grandma used to read it to you.

Gump, check out that hole.

Gump, how can you watch that stupid shit?

Gump, what are you doing? Take a left! Left!

Gump, you stay here, God damn it! That's an order!

Gump! What's your sole purpose in this Army?

Had been signed up for summer classes.

Had come across the ocean about 1,000 years ago,

Had himself a heart attack, or something.

Happy New Year, Gump.

Happy New Year, Lieutenant Dan!

Has been running across America.

Has fallen victim to Carmen and has been left in utter ruin.

Have I found Jesus?

Have you ever been with a girl, Forrest?

Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?

Have you given any thought to your future?

Haven't you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before?

He didn't turn Jenny into a bird that day.

He didn't want to be called crippled, just like I didn't want to be called stupid.

He doesn't know any better!

He doesn't mean it when he does things like this. He doesn't.

He got a daddy named Forrest, too?

He got me invested in some kind of fruit company.

He had the police say Jenny didn't have to stay in that house no more.

He made a lot of money off of it.

He might be a bit on the slow side,

He must be the stupidest son of a bitch alive,

He never actually said so, but I think he made his peace with God.

He said God is listening, but I have to help myself.

He should not be hitting you, Jenny.

He spent most of his time exercising his arms.

He started up this club called the Ku Klux Klan.

He wanted to put my face on a T shirt,

He was a mean dog.

He was always kissing and touching her and her sisters.

He was from a long, great military tradition.

He wrote you a letter.

He'd be the captain of the shrimping boat and I'd be his first mate.

He'd have given us all braces on our legs.

He's gonna have to go to a special school.

He's not going to some special school to learn how to re tread tires.

He's really good.

He's very smart. He's one of the smartest in his class.

Hello, Forrest.

Hello, I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.

Hello.

Helo's inbound. Top smoke, get it out there!

Henry Street is just five or six blocks down that way.

Her dream had come true.

Her mama had gone up to heaven when she was five,

Here he is, Forrest Gump, right here.

Here we are.

Here you go.

Here, by videotape, is the encounter by General Graham,

Here, use this one. Nobody likes that color anyway.

Here's your bus. Okay.

Hey, Bubba, it's me, Forrest Gump.

Hey, Bubba.

Hey, don't you push her! You shut up!

Hey, dummy!

Hey, Forrest, don't...

Hey, Forrest, there's something I've been thinking about.

Hey, Forrest.

Hey, Forrest.

Hey, Gump, get a load of the tits on her!

Hey, hey! We was just there. That's at Times Square.

Hey, honey, I got something here for you.

Hey, honey, this ain't Captain Kangaroo.

Hey, I bet there's shrimp all in these waters.

Hey, I kept a scrapbook of your clippings and everything.

Hey, Lenore... Everybody gets a second chance.

Hey, man, he's cool. He's cool. He's one of us.

Hey, man, hey, listen, I was wondering if you might help me, huh?

Hey, Tex. Hey, Tex.

Hey, what the hell are you...

Hey, you ever think about naming this old boat?

Hey, you.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Come on, already!

Hey! Don't call him stupid!

Hey! Hey!

Hey.

Hey. I know this.

Hey. It's nice to meet you finally.

Hi, Forrest.

Hi.

Hilary, all right, I've got the vets,

His legs are strong, Mrs. Gump,

His name's Forrest.

Hold it up! Hold up, boys!

Hold on there, boy.

Holiday...

How are we going to find them?

How do those feel?

How if I accept Jesus into my heart,

How would you like to go into the shrimping business with me?

Hurricane Carmen came through here yesterday,

I am.

I began to think about Jenny,

I believe he said he had to "go pee. "

I bet if I think about it real hard, I could remember my first pair of shoes.

I bet that never happened in Home Ec.

I bought her a new hat with little flowers on it.

I brought you some chocolate.

I brought you some chocolate.

I can't help it. I love you.

I can't leave the platoon.

I can't leave the platoon.

I could eat about a million and a half of these.

I couldn't just let him lay there all alone, scared the way he was,

I couldn't tell where heaven stopped

I didn't ask you to pull me out of there, God damn you!

I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir.

I didn't know it, but I was destined to be your mama.

I didn't know who I might meet, or what they might ask.

I didn't stay home for long, because I'd made a promise to Bubba,

I didn't want it to end.

I don't care. I don't like her, anyway.

I don't know

I don't know if Mama was right,

I don't know.

I don't recall what I got for my first Christmas,

I even wrote Jenny and told her all about it.

I felt real lucky he was my lieutenant.

I got a very important question to ask you.

I got an air strike inbound right now. They're gonna nape the whole area.

I got your letter.

I gotta buy me one of them shrimping boats,

I gotta find Bubba!

I gotta get out of here.

I guess.

I had a destiny.

I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life.

I had no idea, but Mama had had all sorts of visitors.

I have a feeling if we head due east, we'll find some shrimp,

I have some kind of virus,

I have to, Forrest.

I have your discharge papers. Your service is up, son.

I hope everything works out for you!

I just felt like running.

I just I want to apologize for anything that I ever did to you,

I just want to be on an empty stage

I know everything there is to know about the shrimping business.

I know he's dead!

I know of a much nicer hotel. It's brand new, very modern.

I know that. I know that.

I know you wouldn't, Forrest.

I love you.

I made me a promise to Bubba in Vietnam

I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day.

I mean, it was like an alarm went off in my head, you know?

I met the principal and all.

I might as well just turn back and keep right on going.

I must have drank me about 15 Dr. Peppers.

I named him after his daddy.

I never really knew why she came back, but I didn't care.

I never thanked you for saving my life.

I never thought it would take me anywhere.

I only caught five.

I picked up the mail.

I played Ping Pong

I played Ping Pong so much, I even played it in my sleep.

I put in the requisitions at Battalion.

I ran a long way,

I ran and ran, just like Jenny told me to.

I ran clear across Alabama.

I ran clear to the ocean.

I ran so far and so fast that pretty soon I was all by myself,

I remember the bus ride on the first day of school very well.

I remember when that happened, when Wallace got shot.

I said, "Here's a guy that's got his act together.

I said, is your friend stupid or something?

I sent her letters, not every day, but almost.

I should have died out there with my men,

I should have known it was just gonna be some bullshit hassle.

I shouldn't have brought you here.

I showed her how to dangle.

I sit next to them in my Home Economics class all the time.

I started moving around to the music,

I started out on my uncle's boat, that's my mama's brother,

I started to get scared that I might never find Bubba.

I stayed with Lieutenant Dan and celebrated the holidays.

I sure hope I don't let him down.

I sure wish it wasn't.

I think I ruined your roommate's bathrobe.

I think you should go home to Greenbow, Alabama!

I thought about her a lot.

I thought about Jenny all the time.

I thought I was going back to Vietnam,

I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County.

I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town.

I thought you might be able to help me jump into...

I told her what I was doing and asked her what she was doing,

I told you to leave me there, Gump. Forget about me. Get yourself out!

I told you to leave me there, Gump. Forget about me. Get yourself out!

I took the bus up to Memphis to see her perform in that show.

I understand you were wounded. Where were you hit?

I wanna go home.

I want to be able to say things, just one to one.

I want to show you something, Mrs. Gump.

I want you to have this.

I was born with big gums, sir.

I was in college.

I was just looking into buying a boat of my own and got drafted.

I was just showing him a thing or two on the guitar here.

I was Lieutenant Dan Taylor.

I was Lieutenant Dan Taylor.

I was running!

I was supposed to die in the field, with honor!

I was wondering about that.

I went.

I will miss you, Forrest.

I wish I could've been there with you.

I wish I had shoes like that.

I wish you wouldn't go, Jenny.

I would never hurt you, Jenny.

I would never hurt you, you know that.

I wouldn't know.

I'd always think of Jenny.

I'd kind of like to see that.

I'd make a good husband, Jenny.

I'd never named a boat before, but there was only one I could think of,

I'd of thought of something better to say.

I'd recommend you for OCS, Private Gump.

I'd think a lot about Mama and Bubba and Lieutenant Dan.

I'll always be your girl.

I'll be right here when you get back.

I'll be the captain, we can just work it together,

I'll beat your head in, you goddamn oinker!

I'll bet you could walk all day in shoes like that and not feel a thing.

I'll get to walk beside him in the kingdom of heaven.

I'll have my people take care of it for you.

I'll see you tomorrow. All right.

I'll take care of you if you're sick.

I'll write you all the time.

I'm glad we were here together in our nation's capital.

I'm gonna lean up against you. You just lean right back against me.

I'm gonna show that for show and tell because

I'm Lieutenant Dan Taylor. Welcome to Fourth Platoon.

I'm living off the government tit.

I'm not a smart man,

I'm not supposed to, so I'll just leave it here for you.

I'm okay, Forrest.

I'm okay, man. I'm fine.

I'm okay.

I'm pretty tired.

I'm sick.

I'm singing a song here.

I'm sorry I ruined your New Year's Eve party, Lieutenant Dan.

I'm sorry.

I'm supposed to go on the number nine bus to Richmond Street

I'm taking the $24,562 and 47 cents that I got...

I'm talking about a shrimp catching boat.

I've been working on shrimp boats all my life.

I've worn lots of shoes.

If everything goes all right, two men shrimping 10 hours,

If God intended everybody to be the same,

If I'd a known this was gonna be the last time me and Bubba was gonna talk,

If it wouldn't be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted man,

If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.

If we each have a destiny,

If you boys are hungry, we got steaks burning right over here.

If you stick with me and learn from the guys

If you'd be agreeable to saying you liked using their paddle.

If you're ever a shrimp boat captain, that's the day I'm an astronaut.

In every single American war.

In fact, only one shrimping boat actually survived the storm.

In the land of China, people hardly got nothing at all.

In Vietnam, your...

Instead,

Integrated the University of Alabama today.

Is about to cross the Mississippi River again today.

Is he smart, or...

Is that clear?

Is the ice cream.

Is there a Mr. Gump, Mrs. Gump?

Is this your house?

Isn't he beautiful?

It looked like there were two skies, one on top of the other.

It must be hard being brothers.

It sounded good.

It was a bullet, wasn't it?

It was a college just for girls.

It was a very special night for the two of us.

It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou.

It was like olden times. We was like peas and carrots again.

It was nice talking to you.

It was so beautiful.

It was the happiest moment of my life.

It was wonderful having her home.

It wasn't always fun.

It's a good thing Mama was resting, 'cause the streets was awful crowded

It's all right.

It's an honor, sir.

It's bad luck to have a boat without a name.

It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that, 'cause right then, God showed up.

It's funny, but in the middle of all that fun,

It's just my time.

It's just this war and that lying son of a bitch, Johnson!

It's not really hard.

It's taken!

It's this whole other country.

It's time for a showdown! You and me!

It's time for your bath, Lieutenant.

Jack rabbit!

Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.

Jenny and me were just like peas and carrots again.

Jenny came back and stayed with me.

Jenny most of the time was real quiet.

Jenny, where'd you run to?

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

Jenny, you and little Forrest could come stay at my house in Greenbow.

Jenny!

Jenny!

Jenny! Come on!

Jenny?

Jenny.

Jenny.

Jesus Christ, what'd they do with this?

Just 'cause she said she was scared.

Just as soon as she had the time.

Just leave me here! Get away. Just leave me here! Get out!

Just so evident today, the trend towards military dictatorship in this country.

Just, if you're ever in trouble, don't try to be brave. You just run, okay?

Just... You can't keep doing this all the time.

Kyle, Nichols,

Largest fireworks displays in the nation's...

Leg Lima 6, Leg Lima 6, this is Strongarm, be advised

Leg Lima 6, Strongarm. How copy this? Over.

Less what you spend on gas, you can...

Let me tell you something else.

Let's give a big round of applause to the luscious Bobbi Dylan.

Let's give a big round of applause to the luscious Bobbi Dylan.

Lieutenant Dan said he was living in a hotel.

Lieutenant Dan sure knew his stuff.

Lieutenant Dan, ice cream.

Lieutenant Dan, this is my Jenny.

Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?

Lieutenant Dan!

Lieutenant Dan.

Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest.

Like brothers and stuff.

Like me.

Like that mountain lake. It was so clear, Jenny,

Listen up, people!

Listen, Forrest, I don't know how to say this.

Listen, I'm in the bumper sticker business

Listen, next week my schedule changes, so I'll be able to... But thanks...

Listen, you promise me something, okay?

Little bitty stinging rain,

Little Forrest is doing just fine.

Look at me.
