1
00:03:17,949 --> 00:03:19,200
Hello.
2
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:22,829
My name's Forrest. Forrest Gump.
3
00:03:28,376 --> 00:03:30,420
Do you want a chocolate?
4
00:03:33,006 --> 00:03:36,426
I could eat about
a million and a half of these.
5
00:03:37,594 --> 00:03:42,807
My mama always said
life was like a box of chocolates.
6
00:03:44,809 --> 00:03:47,687
You never know what you're gonna get.
7
00:03:54,903 --> 00:03:57,447
Those must be comfortable shoes.
8
00:03:58,823 --> 00:04:03,494
I'll bet you could walk all day
in shoes like that and not feel a thing.
9
00:04:05,705 --> 00:04:08,166
I wish I had shoes like that.
10
00:04:08,833 --> 00:04:10,376
My feet hurt.
11
00:04:11,586 --> 00:04:13,254
Mama always said there's an awful lot
12
00:04:13,338 --> 00:04:16,549
you could tell about a person
by their shoes:
13
00:04:17,675 --> 00:04:20,637
where they're going,
where they've been.
14
00:04:27,894 --> 00:04:29,938
I've worn lots of shoes.
15
00:04:33,066 --> 00:04:37,862
I bet if I think about it real hard,
I could remember my first pair of shoes.
16
00:04:40,782 --> 00:04:43,409
Mama said they'd take me anywhere.
17
00:04:44,202 --> 00:04:46,829
She said they was my magic shoes.
18
00:04:46,913 --> 00:04:50,083
All right, Forrest,
you can open your eyes now.
19
00:04:57,382 --> 00:04:59,842
Let's take a little walk around.
20
00:05:06,641 --> 00:05:08,434
How do those feel?
21
00:05:11,396 --> 00:05:13,564
His legs are strong, Mrs. Gump,
22
00:05:13,648 --> 00:05:16,150
as strong as I've ever seen,
23
00:05:16,234 --> 00:05:19,612
but his back is as crooked
as a politician.
24
00:05:20,905 --> 00:05:23,992
But we're gonna straighten him right up,
now, aren't we, Forrest?
25
00:05:24,075 --> 00:05:25,201
Forrest!
26
00:05:26,703 --> 00:05:27,912
Now, when I was a baby,
27
00:05:27,996 --> 00:05:30,832
Mama named me after
the great Civil War hero,
28
00:05:30,915 --> 00:05:33,334
General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
29
00:05:33,418 --> 00:05:35,628
She said we was related to him
in some way.
30
00:05:35,712 --> 00:05:37,088
And what he did was,
31
00:05:37,171 --> 00:05:41,426
he started up this club called
the Ku Klux Klan.
32
00:05:41,509 --> 00:05:44,846
They'd all dress up in their robes
and their bed sheets
33
00:05:44,929 --> 00:05:49,267
and act like a bunch of ghosts
or spooks or something.
34
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:53,229
They'd even put bed sheets
on their horses and ride around.
35
00:05:53,312 --> 00:05:56,357
And anyway, that's how I got my name,
36
00:05:56,441 --> 00:05:57,859
Forrest Gump.
37
00:05:57,942 --> 00:05:59,694
Mama said that the "Forrest" part
38
00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:03,322
was to remind me that sometimes
we all do things that,
39
00:06:03,406 --> 00:06:06,200
well, just don't make no sense.
40
00:06:11,873 --> 00:06:15,376
Okay... Get it, get it...
41
00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:18,421
Wait, is it this way? Hold on.
42
00:06:19,338 --> 00:06:20,840
All right...
43
00:06:21,424 --> 00:06:23,092
What are you all staring at?
44
00:06:23,176 --> 00:06:27,638
Haven't you ever seen a little boy
with braces on his legs before?
45
00:06:29,182 --> 00:06:32,894
Don't ever let anybody tell you
they're better than you, Forrest.
46
00:06:32,977 --> 00:06:35,563
If God intended
everybody to be the same,
47
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:37,774
he'd have given us all braces
on our legs.
48
00:06:37,857 --> 00:06:39,567
Mama always had a way of
explaining things
49
00:06:39,650 --> 00:06:41,652
so I could understand them.
50
00:06:43,112 --> 00:06:46,616
We lived about a quarter mile
off Route 17,
51
00:06:46,699 --> 00:06:49,744
about a half mile from
the town of Greenbow, Alabama.
52
00:06:49,827 --> 00:06:52,580
That's in the county of Greenbow.
53
00:06:52,663 --> 00:06:57,085
Our house had been in Mama's family
since her grandpa's grandpa's grandpa
54
00:06:57,168 --> 00:06:59,087
had come across the ocean
about 1,000 years ago,
55
00:06:59,170 --> 00:07:01,089
something like that.
56
00:07:01,172 --> 00:07:03,883
Since it was just me and Mama
and we had all these empty rooms,
57
00:07:03,966 --> 00:07:06,719
Mama decided to let those rooms out,
58
00:07:06,803 --> 00:07:08,763
mostly to people passing through,
59
00:07:08,846 --> 00:07:12,809
like from, oh, Mobile,
Montgomery, places like that.
60
00:07:12,892 --> 00:07:15,603
That's how me and Mama got money.
61
00:07:15,686 --> 00:07:18,439
Mama was a real smart lady.
62
00:07:18,523 --> 00:07:23,528
Remember what I told you, Forrest.
You're no different than anybody else is.
63
00:07:26,030 --> 00:07:28,407
Did you hear what I said, Forrest?
64
00:07:28,491 --> 00:07:32,662
You're the same as everybody else.
You are no different.
65
00:07:33,162 --> 00:07:37,625
Your boy's different, Mrs. Gump.
66
00:07:37,708 --> 00:07:39,919
Now, his IQ is 75.
67
00:07:40,711 --> 00:07:43,840
Well, we're all different, Mr. Hancock.
68
00:07:47,426 --> 00:07:49,470
She wanted me to have
the finest education,
69
00:07:49,554 --> 00:07:53,474
so she took me to
the Greenbow County Central School.
70
00:07:53,558 --> 00:07:55,810
I met the principal and all.
71
00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:59,188
I want to show you something,
Mrs. Gump.
72
00:07:59,647 --> 00:08:02,525
Now, this is normal.
73
00:08:03,025 --> 00:08:06,320
Forrest is right here.
74
00:08:07,155 --> 00:08:12,702
The state requires a minimum IQ of
80 to attend public school, Mrs. Gump.
75
00:08:13,202 --> 00:08:16,080
He's gonna have to go
to a special school.
76
00:08:16,164 --> 00:08:18,291
Now, he'll be just fine.
77
00:08:19,083 --> 00:08:21,169
What does "normal" mean, anyway?
78
00:08:21,252 --> 00:08:24,630
He might be a bit on the slow side,
79
00:08:25,756 --> 00:08:27,508
but my boy Forrest is gonna get
80
00:08:27,592 --> 00:08:30,136
the same opportunities
as everyone else.
81
00:08:30,219 --> 00:08:34,015
He's not going to some special school
to learn how to re-tread tires.
82
00:08:34,098 --> 00:08:37,268
We're talking about
five little points here.
83
00:08:38,978 --> 00:08:41,606
There must be something can be done.
84
00:08:43,191 --> 00:08:45,651
We're a progressive school system.
85
00:08:46,485 --> 00:08:49,405
We don't want to see anybody
left behind.
86
00:08:50,281 --> 00:08:53,743
Is there a Mr. Gump, Mrs. Gump?
87
00:08:56,996 --> 00:08:58,873
He's on vacation.
88
00:09:16,349 --> 00:09:20,144
Well, your mama sure does care
about your schooling, son.
89
00:09:25,650 --> 00:09:28,110
You don't say much, do you?
90
00:09:39,622 --> 00:09:41,582
"Finally, he had to try.
91
00:09:41,666 --> 00:09:43,626
"It looked easy, but,
92
00:09:44,835 --> 00:09:47,171
"oh, what happened.
93
00:09:47,255 --> 00:09:50,258
- "First, there..."
- Mama, what's "vacation" mean?
94
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,386
- Vacation?
- Where Daddy went.
95
00:09:56,013 --> 00:09:58,724
Vacation's when you go somewhere
96
00:10:01,102 --> 00:10:03,437
and you don't ever come back.
97
00:10:07,775 --> 00:10:11,570
Anyway, I guess you could
say me and Mama was on our own.
98
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:16,409
But we didn't mind.
Our house was never empty.
99
00:10:16,492 --> 00:10:19,078
There was always folks
coming and going.
100
00:10:19,161 --> 00:10:20,246
Supper.
101
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:23,749
- It's supper, everyone. Forrest...
- My, my. That sure looks special.
102
00:10:23,833 --> 00:10:26,377
Sometimes we had
so many people staying with us
103
00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:29,130
that every room
was filled with travelers.
104
00:10:29,213 --> 00:10:32,842
You know, folks living out
of their suitcases
105
00:10:32,925 --> 00:10:35,886
and hat cases and sample cases.
106
00:10:35,970 --> 00:10:39,390
Forrest Gump, it's suppertime! Forrest...
107
00:10:39,473 --> 00:10:42,018
One time, a young man
was staying with us,
108
00:10:42,101 --> 00:10:45,730
and he had him a guitar case.
109
00:10:59,702 --> 00:11:03,706
Forrest! I told you not to bother
this nice young man.
110
00:11:03,789 --> 00:11:05,124
Oh, no, that's all right, ma'am.
111
00:11:05,207 --> 00:11:08,044
I was just showing him a thing or two
on the guitar here.
112
00:11:08,127 --> 00:11:11,088
All right, but your supper's ready
if y'all want to eat.
113
00:11:11,172 --> 00:11:14,133
Yeah, that sounds good.
Thank you, ma'am.
114
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,387
Say, man, show me that crazy
little walk you just did there.
115
00:11:18,471 --> 00:11:20,348
Slow it down some.
116
00:11:22,475 --> 00:11:24,393
I liked that guitar.
117
00:11:25,061 --> 00:11:26,812
It sounded good.
118
00:11:28,606 --> 00:11:32,777
I started moving around to the music,
119
00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:34,695
swinging my hips.
120
00:11:37,281 --> 00:11:39,825
This one night,
me and Mama was out shopping,
121
00:11:39,909 --> 00:11:42,912
and we walked right by
Benson's furniture and appliance store,
122
00:11:42,995 --> 00:11:44,580
and guess what?
123
00:11:56,926 --> 00:11:59,762
This is not for children's eyes.
124
00:12:02,306 --> 00:12:04,100
Some years later,
that handsome young man
125
00:12:04,183 --> 00:12:06,727
who they called "The King,"
126
00:12:06,811 --> 00:12:09,146
well, he'd sung too many songs,
127
00:12:09,814 --> 00:12:12,358
had himself a heart attack,
or something.
128
00:12:13,442 --> 00:12:15,611
Must be hard being a king.
129
00:12:19,907 --> 00:12:22,743
You know, it's funny how you remember
some things, but some things you can't.
130
00:12:23,494 --> 00:12:27,373
- You do your very best now, Forrest.
- I sure will, Mama.
131
00:12:29,083 --> 00:12:33,671
I remember the bus ride
on the first day of school very well.
132
00:12:37,216 --> 00:12:38,926
Are you coming along?
133
00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:42,513
Mama said not to be taking
rides from strangers.
134
00:12:42,596 --> 00:12:44,765
This is the bus to school.
135
00:12:47,726 --> 00:12:49,979
I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.
136
00:12:50,938 --> 00:12:54,942
- I'm Dorothy Harris.
- Well, now we ain't strangers anymore.
137
00:13:07,955 --> 00:13:09,748
This seat's taken.
138
00:13:12,209 --> 00:13:13,711
It's taken!
139
00:13:21,594 --> 00:13:23,471
You can't sit here.
140
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:29,059
You know, it's funny what
a young man recollects,
141
00:13:29,143 --> 00:13:31,520
'cause I don't remember being born.
142
00:13:33,147 --> 00:13:35,316
I don't recall what I got
for my first Christmas,
143
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:38,486
and I don't know when I went
on my first outdoor picnic.
144
00:13:38,569 --> 00:13:43,282
But I do remember the first time I heard
145
00:13:43,365 --> 00:13:46,202
the sweetest voice in the wide world.
146
00:13:46,702 --> 00:13:49,079
You can sit here if you want.
147
00:13:51,999 --> 00:13:55,878
I had never seen anything
so beautiful in my life.
148
00:13:56,587 --> 00:13:58,672
She was like an angel.
149
00:13:58,756 --> 00:14:01,675
Well, are you gonna sit down,
or aren't you?
150
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:08,432
What's wrong with your legs?
151
00:14:08,516 --> 00:14:12,770
Nothing at all, thank you.
My legs are just fine and dandy.
152
00:14:13,687 --> 00:14:15,856
I just sat next to her on that bus
153
00:14:15,940 --> 00:14:18,025
and had a conversation
all the way to school.
154
00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:20,819
...my back's crooked like
a question mark.
155
00:14:20,903 --> 00:14:22,071
These are going to make me...
156
00:14:22,154 --> 00:14:26,909
And next to Mama, no one ever
talked to me or asked me questions.
157
00:14:27,451 --> 00:14:29,411
Are you stupid or something?
158
00:14:29,495 --> 00:14:32,498
Mama says, "Stupid is as stupid does."
159
00:14:34,124 --> 00:14:37,795
- I'm Jenny.
- I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.
160
00:14:38,462 --> 00:14:40,297
From that day on,
we was always together.
161
00:14:40,381 --> 00:14:43,217
Jenny and me was like
peas and carrots.
162
00:14:46,804 --> 00:14:48,430
She taught me how to climb.
163
00:14:48,514 --> 00:14:51,225
Come on, Forrest, you can do it.
164
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:53,936
I showed her how to dangle.
165
00:14:54,019 --> 00:14:56,063
"...a good little monkey and..."
166
00:14:56,146 --> 00:15:01,068
She helped me learn how to read,
and I showed her how to swing.
167
00:15:03,404 --> 00:15:07,157
Sometimes we'd just sit out
and wait for the stars.
168
00:15:07,241 --> 00:15:12,162
- Mama's gonna worry about me.
- Just stay a little longer.
169
00:15:13,414 --> 00:15:17,167
For some reason,
Jenny didn't never want to go home.
170
00:15:17,251 --> 00:15:19,336
Okay, Jenny, I'll stay.
171
00:15:20,170 --> 00:15:22,923
She was my most special friend.
172
00:15:26,343 --> 00:15:28,012
My only friend.
173
00:15:31,807 --> 00:15:35,603
Now, my mama always told me that
miracles happen every day.
174
00:15:35,686 --> 00:15:38,063
Some people don't think so, but they do.
175
00:15:41,108 --> 00:15:42,693
Hey, dummy!
176
00:15:43,652 --> 00:15:45,738
Are you retarded, or just plain stupid?
177
00:15:45,821 --> 00:15:49,325
- "Look, I'm Forrest Gimp."
- Just run away, Forrest.
178
00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:53,746
Run, Forrest! Run away! Hurry!
179
00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:57,082
- Get the bikes!
- Hurry up! Let's get him!
180
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,710
- Come on!
- Look out, dummy, here we come!
181
00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:01,629
We're gonna get you!
182
00:16:02,588 --> 00:16:06,342
Run, Forrest, run! Run, Forrest!
183
00:16:08,052 --> 00:16:09,970
Come back here, you!
184
00:16:23,609 --> 00:16:26,070
Run, Forrest!
185
00:16:26,153 --> 00:16:27,571
Run!
186
00:16:58,769 --> 00:17:01,647
Now, you wouldn't believe it
if I told you,
187
00:17:02,773 --> 00:17:05,275
but I can run like the wind blows.
188
00:17:08,529 --> 00:17:11,615
From that day on,
if I was going somewhere,
189
00:17:12,449 --> 00:17:13,742
I was running!
190
00:17:13,826 --> 00:17:16,203
He's getting away! Stop him!
191
00:17:47,651 --> 00:17:50,654
That boy sure is a running fool.
192
00:17:54,867 --> 00:17:56,243
Now, remember how I told you that
193
00:17:56,326 --> 00:17:59,246
Jenny never seemed
to want to go home?
194
00:17:59,329 --> 00:18:02,416
Well, she lived in a house
that was as old as Alabama.
195
00:18:02,499 --> 00:18:04,668
Her mama had gone up to heaven
when she was five,
196
00:18:04,752 --> 00:18:08,088
and her daddy was
some kind of a farmer.
197
00:18:09,923 --> 00:18:10,966
Jenny?
198
00:18:11,049 --> 00:18:13,218
He was a very loving man.
199
00:18:13,677 --> 00:18:17,931
He was always kissing and touching
her and her sisters.
200
00:18:19,683 --> 00:18:24,104
And then this one time,
Jenny wasn't on the bus to go to school.
201
00:18:25,272 --> 00:18:27,232
Jenny, why didn't you come
to school today?
202
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,277
Daddy's taking a nap.
203
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,070
- Jenny!
- Come on!
204
00:18:33,530 --> 00:18:36,074
Jenny, where'd you run to?
205
00:18:37,409 --> 00:18:40,078
You'd better get back here, girl!
206
00:18:41,538 --> 00:18:43,207
Where you at?
207
00:18:46,585 --> 00:18:49,880
Jenny! Jenny! Where you at?
208
00:18:52,883 --> 00:18:54,218
Jenny!
209
00:18:54,301 --> 00:18:57,262
Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me.
210
00:18:57,387 --> 00:18:58,514
Jenny!
211
00:18:58,597 --> 00:19:01,809
Dear God, make me a bird
so I can fly far,
212
00:19:01,892 --> 00:19:03,644
far, far away from here.
213
00:19:03,727 --> 00:19:07,397
Dear God, make me a bird
so I can fly far,
214
00:19:07,481 --> 00:19:08,607
far, far away from here.
215
00:19:08,732 --> 00:19:11,777
Mama always said
that God is mysterious.
216
00:19:11,902 --> 00:19:13,028
Jenny!
217
00:19:13,111 --> 00:19:15,447
He didn't turn Jenny into a bird that day.
218
00:19:15,572 --> 00:19:16,657
You'd better get back here!
219
00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:18,242
Instead,
220
00:19:18,909 --> 00:19:23,455
he had the police say Jenny didn't
have to stay in that house no more.
221
00:19:23,914 --> 00:19:27,626
She went to live with her grandma
just over on Creekmore Avenue,
222
00:19:27,751 --> 00:19:30,921
which made me happy,
'cause she was so close.
223
00:19:33,507 --> 00:19:38,554
Some nights, Jenny would sneak out
and come on over to my house,
224
00:19:38,637 --> 00:19:41,765
just 'cause she said she was scared.
225
00:19:41,849 --> 00:19:44,309
Scared of what, I don't know,
226
00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:47,646
but I think it was her grandma's dog.
227
00:19:47,771 --> 00:19:49,523
He was a mean dog.
228
00:19:50,274 --> 00:19:52,985
Anyway, Jenny and me was best friends
229
00:19:53,068 --> 00:19:54,361
all the way up through high school.
230
00:19:56,321 --> 00:19:58,365
- Hey, stupid!
- Quit it!
231
00:19:59,491 --> 00:20:01,785
- Run, Forrest, run!
- Hey,
232
00:20:02,494 --> 00:20:03,954
did you hear me, stupid?
233
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:05,247
- Run, Forrest!
- Come on, get in the truck!
234
00:20:05,330 --> 00:20:07,457
Get in the truck! Let's move it!
235
00:20:07,541 --> 00:20:10,294
Come on, he's getting away! Move it!
236
00:20:10,377 --> 00:20:12,546
Run, Forrest! Run!
237
00:20:12,629 --> 00:20:16,174
- You better be running, stupid!
- Come on, dummy!
238
00:20:18,135 --> 00:20:21,638
- Haul ass, dummy!
- Yeah, you better get running!
239
00:20:24,641 --> 00:20:26,310
Jack rabbit!
240
00:20:34,735 --> 00:20:35,986
Yeah!
241
00:20:36,820 --> 00:20:38,989
Go! Go! Go!
242
00:20:40,699 --> 00:20:42,326
Run, Forrest!
243
00:20:45,329 --> 00:20:48,916
Now, it used to be,
I ran to get where I was going,
244
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:53,003
I never thought it would
take me anywhere.
245
00:21:22,032 --> 00:21:26,203
- Who in the hell is that?
- That there is Forrest Gump, Coach.
246
00:21:27,204 --> 00:21:29,039
Just a local idiot.
247
00:21:29,706 --> 00:21:33,210
And can you believe it?
I got to go to college, too.
248
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,427
Forrest! Forrest! Run!
249
00:21:42,552 --> 00:21:44,137
- Okay!
- Run!
250
00:21:44,221 --> 00:21:47,766
Run, you stupid son of a bitch! Run!
251
00:21:59,236 --> 00:22:02,781
You son of a bitch! Run! Go! Run!
252
00:22:05,158 --> 00:22:07,911
No! Turn! Go!
253
00:22:19,131 --> 00:22:22,759
He must be the stupidest
son of a bitch alive,
254
00:22:22,843 --> 00:22:24,720
but he sure is fast!
255
00:22:27,764 --> 00:22:32,769
Now, maybe it's just me,
but college was very confusing times.
256
00:22:34,104 --> 00:22:36,023
Federal troops enforcing a court order
257
00:22:36,106 --> 00:22:39,109
integrated the University
of Alabama today.
258
00:22:39,192 --> 00:22:40,402
Two negroes were admitted,
259
00:22:40,485 --> 00:22:43,780
but only after Governor George Wallace
had carried out his symbolic threat
260
00:22:43,864 --> 00:22:45,407
to stand in the school house door.
261
00:22:45,490 --> 00:22:50,162
Governor Wallace,
I take it from that statement, that...
262
00:22:50,287 --> 00:22:52,289
Earl, what's going on?
263
00:22:52,372 --> 00:22:55,709
- Coons are trying to get into school.
- Coons?
264
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:57,461
When raccoons try to get
on our back porch,
265
00:22:57,544 --> 00:22:59,337
Mama just chase them off with a broom.
266
00:22:59,463 --> 00:23:03,967
Not raccoons, you idiot, niggers,
and they want to go to school with us.
267
00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:06,511
With us? They do?
268
00:23:07,471 --> 00:23:09,973
Shortly after Governor
Wallace had carried out his promise
269
00:23:10,057 --> 00:23:11,266
to block the doorway,
270
00:23:11,349 --> 00:23:13,310
President Kennedy
ordered the Secretary of Defense
271
00:23:13,393 --> 00:23:15,395
then to use military force.
272
00:23:15,479 --> 00:23:18,190
Here, by videotape,
is the encounter by General Graham,
273
00:23:18,315 --> 00:23:21,568
commander of the National Guard,
and Governor Wallace.
274
00:23:21,651 --> 00:23:25,363
...because these National Guardsmen
are here today
275
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:27,991
as federal soldiers for Alabamans.
276
00:23:28,075 --> 00:23:31,995
They live within our borders,
they are all our brothers.
277
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:34,498
We are winning in this fight,
278
00:23:34,581 --> 00:23:37,584
because we are awakening
the American people
279
00:23:37,667 --> 00:23:41,004
to the dangers that we have spoken
about so many times,
280
00:23:41,088 --> 00:23:47,385
just so evident today, the trend towards
military dictatorship in this country.
281
00:23:50,847 --> 00:23:53,308
And so, at day's end,
the University of Alabama
282
00:23:53,391 --> 00:23:55,685
in Tuscaloosa had been desegregated
283
00:23:55,769 --> 00:23:58,772
and students Jimmy Hood
and Vivian Malone
284
00:23:58,855 --> 00:24:01,942
had been signed up
for summer classes.
285
00:24:04,528 --> 00:24:07,364
Ma'am, you dropped your book.
Ma'am...
286
00:24:07,906 --> 00:24:09,866
Governor Wallace did what
he promised to do.
287
00:24:09,950 --> 00:24:13,495
By being on the Tuscaloosa campus,
he kept the mob from gathering...
288
00:24:13,578 --> 00:24:15,705
Say, wasn't that Gump?
289
00:24:15,789 --> 00:24:19,876
- Nah, that couldn't be.
- It sure as hell was.
290
00:24:24,631 --> 00:24:26,466
A few years later,
that angry little man
291
00:24:26,550 --> 00:24:29,052
at the school house door
thought it would be a good idea
292
00:24:29,136 --> 00:24:31,304
and ran for president.
293
00:24:34,391 --> 00:24:37,060
But somebody thought that it wasn't.
294
00:24:38,770 --> 00:24:40,814
But he didn't die.
295
00:24:45,402 --> 00:24:47,070
My bus is here.
296
00:24:47,779 --> 00:24:50,907
- Is it the number nine?
- No, it's the number four.
297
00:24:51,908 --> 00:24:54,077
It was nice talking to you.
298
00:24:56,997 --> 00:25:01,084
I remember when that happened,
when Wallace got shot.
299
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,420
I was in college.
300
00:25:03,503 --> 00:25:04,713
Did you go to a girls' college,
301
00:25:04,796 --> 00:25:06,631
or to a girls-and-boys-together college?
302
00:25:06,756 --> 00:25:07,757
It was co-ed.
303
00:25:07,841 --> 00:25:10,552
'Cause Jenny went to a college
I couldn't go to.
304
00:25:10,635 --> 00:25:12,971
It was a college just for girls.
305
00:25:13,096 --> 00:25:16,266
But I'd go and visit her
every chance I got.
306
00:25:47,005 --> 00:25:48,632
That hurts.
307
00:25:59,392 --> 00:26:01,561
Forrest! Forrest!
308
00:26:03,813 --> 00:26:06,733
- Forrest, stop it! Stop it!
- Jesus!
309
00:26:06,816 --> 00:26:07,943
What are you doing?
310
00:26:08,026 --> 00:26:09,694
- He was hurting you.
- What the hell is going on here?
311
00:26:09,819 --> 00:26:13,490
- No, he's not! Get over there!
- Who is that? Who is that?
312
00:26:13,573 --> 00:26:14,658
- Billy, I'm sorry.
- What the hell?
313
00:26:14,741 --> 00:26:17,327
- Just get away from me!
- Don't...
314
00:26:17,410 --> 00:26:20,372
- Don't go! Billy, wait a second!
- Get away from me.
315
00:26:20,497 --> 00:26:22,666
He doesn't know any better!
316
00:26:24,417 --> 00:26:27,087
Forrest, why did you do that?
317
00:26:30,048 --> 00:26:33,009
I brought you some chocolate.
318
00:26:33,385 --> 00:26:35,095
I'm sorry.
319
00:26:37,264 --> 00:26:40,558
- I'll go back to my college now.
- Forrest...
320
00:26:44,271 --> 00:26:45,855
Look at you.
321
00:26:47,941 --> 00:26:50,026
Come on. Come on.
322
00:26:57,534 --> 00:26:59,411
- Is this your room?
- Shh!
323
00:27:03,873 --> 00:27:06,126
Do you ever dream, Forrest,
324
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:10,297
about who you're gonna be?
325
00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:12,173
- Who I'm gonna be?
- Yeah.
326
00:27:12,257 --> 00:27:14,134
Aren't I going to be me?
327
00:27:14,217 --> 00:27:17,887
Well, you'll always be you,
just another kind of you.
328
00:27:18,805 --> 00:27:22,058
You know? I want to be famous.
329
00:27:23,768 --> 00:27:26,563
I want to be a singer like Joan Baez.
330
00:27:27,772 --> 00:27:30,900
I just want to be on an empty stage
331
00:27:30,984 --> 00:27:33,278
with my guitar, my voice.
332
00:27:35,113 --> 00:27:36,573
Just me.
333
00:27:38,074 --> 00:27:41,411
And I want to reach people
on the personal level.
334
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,417
I want to be able to say things,
just one-to-one.
335
00:27:54,924 --> 00:27:57,802
Have you ever been with a girl, Forrest?
336
00:27:59,262 --> 00:28:03,099
I sit next to them in my Home
Economics class all the time.
337
00:28:32,045 --> 00:28:34,464
- I'm... Sorry.
- It's okay.
338
00:28:43,014 --> 00:28:44,724
It's all right.
339
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,729
- It's okay.
- Oh, I'm dizzy.
340
00:28:58,405 --> 00:29:01,157
I bet that never happened in Home Ec.
341
00:29:05,995 --> 00:29:07,163
No.
342
00:29:13,378 --> 00:29:16,506
I think I ruined
your roommate's bathrobe.
343
00:29:16,589 --> 00:29:18,633
I don't care.
I don't like her, anyway.
344
00:29:18,716 --> 00:29:22,095
Run! Run! Run!
345
00:29:22,178 --> 00:29:26,683
- Run! Run! Run!
- Run! Run! Run!
346
00:29:34,607 --> 00:29:38,820
College ran by real fast,
'cause I played so much football.
347
00:29:38,903 --> 00:29:42,157
They even put me on a thing
called the All-America Team,
348
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,035
where you get to meet
the President of the United States.
349
00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:47,704
President Kennedy met
with the Collegiate
350
00:29:47,787 --> 00:29:51,374
All-American Football Team
at the Oval Office today.
351
00:29:51,958 --> 00:29:53,960
Now, the really good thing
about meeting
352
00:29:54,043 --> 00:29:57,839
the President of the United States
is the food.
353
00:29:57,922 --> 00:30:00,633
They put you in this little room
with just about anything
354
00:30:00,717 --> 00:30:03,219
you'd want to eat or drink.
355
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,182
And since, number one,
I wasn't hungry, but thirsty,
356
00:30:07,265 --> 00:30:09,934
and number two, they was free,
357
00:30:10,059 --> 00:30:13,104
I must have drank me about
15 Dr. Peppers.
358
00:30:16,065 --> 00:30:18,193
Congratulations.
How does it feel to be an All-American?
359
00:30:18,276 --> 00:30:20,028
It's an honor, sir.
360
00:30:20,111 --> 00:30:22,197
Congratulations.
How does it feel to be an All-American?
361
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,907
Very good, sir.
362
00:30:24,741 --> 00:30:27,160
Congratulations.
How does it feel to be an All-American?
363
00:30:27,243 --> 00:30:28,995
Very good, sir.
364
00:30:29,078 --> 00:30:32,749
- Congratulations. How do you feel?
- I gotta pee.
365
00:30:33,416 --> 00:30:35,710
I believe he said
he had to "go pee."
366
00:30:50,934 --> 00:30:53,811
Sometime later,
for no particular reason,
367
00:30:53,937 --> 00:30:56,314
somebody shot that
nice young President,
368
00:30:56,439 --> 00:30:58,816
when he was riding in his car.
369
00:30:59,442 --> 00:31:03,571
And a few years after that,
somebody shot his little brother, too,
370
00:31:03,655 --> 00:31:05,782
only he was in a hotel kitchen.
371
00:31:07,242 --> 00:31:09,661
It must be hard being brothers.
372
00:31:10,662 --> 00:31:11,871
I wouldn't know.
373
00:31:12,455 --> 00:31:13,831
Forrest Gump.
374
00:31:13,957 --> 00:31:15,208
Now can you believe it?
375
00:31:15,291 --> 00:31:19,212
After only five years of playing football,
I got a college degree.
376
00:31:19,295 --> 00:31:21,297
Congratulations, son.
377
00:31:22,090 --> 00:31:24,133
Mama was so proud.
378
00:31:25,468 --> 00:31:29,305
Forrest, I'm so proud of you.
Here, I'll hold this for you.
379
00:31:29,430 --> 00:31:31,516
Congratulations, son.
380
00:31:31,641 --> 00:31:34,644
Have you given any thought
to your future?
381
00:31:36,479 --> 00:31:37,814
Thought?
382
00:31:39,274 --> 00:31:41,109
Hello, I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.
383
00:31:41,192 --> 00:31:44,195
Nobody gives a hunk of shit
who you are, fuzzball!
384
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,948
You're not even a low-life,
scum-sucking maggot!
385
00:31:47,031 --> 00:31:50,994
Get your faggotty ass on the bus.
You're in the Army now!
386
00:31:51,327 --> 00:31:53,121
This seat's taken.
387
00:31:54,998 --> 00:31:56,374
Taken.
388
00:31:59,294 --> 00:32:02,088
At first, it seemed like
I made a mistake,
389
00:32:02,171 --> 00:32:04,215
seeing how it was only my induction day
390
00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:07,051
and I was already getting yelled at.
391
00:32:10,138 --> 00:32:12,390
You can sit down if you want to.
392
00:32:12,515 --> 00:32:16,352
I didn't know who I might meet,
or what they might ask.
393
00:32:16,477 --> 00:32:19,063
You ever been on a real shrimp boat?
394
00:32:19,564 --> 00:32:23,192
No, but I been on a real big boat.
395
00:32:23,985 --> 00:32:26,779
I'm talking about
a shrimp-catching boat.
396
00:32:26,863 --> 00:32:29,365
I've been working
on shrimp boats all my life.
397
00:32:29,490 --> 00:32:32,243
I started out on my uncle's boat,
that's my mama's brother,
398
00:32:32,368 --> 00:32:34,412
when I was about maybe nine.
399
00:32:34,537 --> 00:32:38,666
I was just looking into buying a boat
of my own and got drafted.
400
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:44,380
My given name is Benjamin Buford Blue.
People call me Bubba.
401
00:32:45,048 --> 00:32:48,676
Just like one of them old redneck boys.
Can you believe that?
402
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,430
My name's Forrest Gump.
People call me Forrest Gump.
403
00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:55,808
So, Bubba was from
Bayou La Batre, Alabama,
404
00:32:55,892 --> 00:32:57,810
and his mama cooked shrimp,
405
00:33:00,063 --> 00:33:02,940
and her mama before her
cooked shrimp,
406
00:33:03,066 --> 00:33:06,027
and her mama before her mama
cooked shrimp, too.
407
00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:07,320
Bubba's family knew everything
408
00:33:07,403 --> 00:33:10,031
there was to know
about the shrimping business.
409
00:33:10,114 --> 00:33:13,159
I know everything there is to know
about the shrimping business.
410
00:33:13,242 --> 00:33:16,245
Matter of fact, I'm going into
the shrimping business for myself
411
00:33:16,371 --> 00:33:18,706
after I get out the Army.
412
00:33:21,376 --> 00:33:22,418
Okay.
413
00:33:22,627 --> 00:33:26,714
Gump! What's your sole purpose
in this Army?
414
00:33:26,798 --> 00:33:29,342
To do whatever you tell me,
Drill Sergeant!
415
00:33:29,425 --> 00:33:32,804
God damn it, Gump!
You're a goddamn genius!
416
00:33:32,929 --> 00:33:35,264
That's the most outstanding answer
I've ever heard.
417
00:33:35,390 --> 00:33:38,142
You must have a goddamn IQ of 160!
418
00:33:38,267 --> 00:33:41,229
You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump!
419
00:33:42,230 --> 00:33:44,107
Listen up, people!
420
00:33:44,232 --> 00:33:48,403
Now, for some reason, I fit in
the Army like one of them round pegs.
421
00:33:48,486 --> 00:33:49,737
It's not really hard.
422
00:33:49,821 --> 00:33:53,449
You just make your bed real neat
and remember to stand up straight,
423
00:33:53,574 --> 00:33:57,537
and always answer every question
with, "Yes, Drill Sergeant!"
424
00:33:57,620 --> 00:33:59,080
Is that clear?
425
00:33:59,163 --> 00:34:01,290
- Yes, Drill Sergeant!
- Yes, Drill Sergeant!
426
00:34:01,791 --> 00:34:05,086
What you do is, you just drag
your nets along the bottom.
427
00:34:05,169 --> 00:34:08,923
On a good day, you can catch over
100 pounds of shrimp.
428
00:34:09,006 --> 00:34:12,427
If everything goes all right,
two men shrimping 10 hours,
429
00:34:12,510 --> 00:34:15,221
less what you spend on gas, you can...
430
00:34:15,304 --> 00:34:18,099
- Done, Drill Sergeant!
- Gump!
431
00:34:20,476 --> 00:34:23,229
Why did you put that weapon
together so quickly, Gump?
432
00:34:23,312 --> 00:34:24,981
You told me to, Drill Sergeant.
433
00:34:25,106 --> 00:34:28,526
Jesus H. Christ,
this is a new company record.
434
00:34:28,651 --> 00:34:31,112
If it wouldn't be a waste
of such a damn fine enlisted man,
435
00:34:31,195 --> 00:34:33,489
I'd recommend you for OCS,
Private Gump.
436
00:34:33,614 --> 00:34:35,450
You are gonna be
a general some day, Gump.
437
00:34:35,533 --> 00:34:38,619
Now, disassemble your weapon
and continue!
438
00:34:40,705 --> 00:34:44,500
Anyway, like I was saying,
shrimp is the fruit of the sea.
439
00:34:44,584 --> 00:34:49,338
You can barbecue it,
boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it.
440
00:34:49,422 --> 00:34:52,425
There's shrimp kebabs, shrimp Creole...
441
00:34:52,717 --> 00:34:57,555
...shrimp gumbo, pan fried,
deep fried, stir fried.
442
00:34:57,889 --> 00:35:01,434
There's pineapple shrimp,
lemon shrimp,
443
00:35:01,517 --> 00:35:03,853
coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp...
444
00:35:04,187 --> 00:35:10,151
...shrimp soup, shrimp stew,
shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes,
445
00:35:10,234 --> 00:35:13,279
shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich...
446
00:35:15,865 --> 00:35:18,201
That's... That's about it.
447
00:35:21,913 --> 00:35:24,874
Night time in the Army
is a lonely time.
448
00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:29,378
We'd lay there in our bunks
and I'd miss my mama.
449
00:35:29,962 --> 00:35:32,465
And I'd miss Jenny.
450
00:35:36,385 --> 00:35:40,264
Hey, Gump, get a load of the tits on her!
451
00:35:53,736 --> 00:35:56,864
Turns out, Jenny had gotten into
some trouble over
452
00:35:56,948 --> 00:36:00,284
some photos of her
in her college sweater,
453
00:36:00,409 --> 00:36:02,954
and she was thrown out of school.
454
00:36:06,499 --> 00:36:08,709
But that wasn't a bad thing,
455
00:36:08,793 --> 00:36:12,380
because a man who owns
a theater in Memphis, Tennessee,
456
00:36:12,463 --> 00:36:17,510
saw those photos and offered Jenny
a job singing in a show.
457
00:36:18,302 --> 00:36:20,137
The first chance I got,
458
00:36:20,263 --> 00:36:23,933
I took the bus up to Memphis
to see her perform in that show.
459
00:36:24,016 --> 00:36:25,518
That was Amber, Amber Flame.
460
00:36:25,601 --> 00:36:28,062
Give her a big hand, guys.
Good job, Amber.
461
00:36:28,145 --> 00:36:30,898
And now, for your listening
and viewing pleasure,
462
00:36:30,982 --> 00:36:34,819
direct from Hollywood, California,
our very own beatnik beauty,
463
00:36:34,944 --> 00:36:38,614
let's give a big round of applause
to the luscious Bobbi Dylan.
464
00:36:40,783 --> 00:36:43,035
- All right!
- Bobbi!
465
00:37:05,975 --> 00:37:08,060
Her dream had come true.
466
00:37:09,312 --> 00:37:11,314
She was a folk singer.
467
00:37:20,573 --> 00:37:22,825
Come on, baby. Shake it up.
Shake it up, now.
468
00:37:22,909 --> 00:37:24,410
Hey, buddy, get her a harmonica.
469
00:37:28,164 --> 00:37:30,207
Hey, honey,
this ain't Captain Kangaroo.
470
00:37:30,333 --> 00:37:32,877
Hey, honey,
I got something here for you.
471
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,673
- God damn it!
- Hey! Hey! Stupid jerk!
472
00:37:37,757 --> 00:37:40,217
I'm singing a song here.
473
00:37:42,553 --> 00:37:44,972
Polly, get out here!
474
00:37:45,056 --> 00:37:46,766
- Shut up, there!
- Don't be so shy, honey.
475
00:37:46,849 --> 00:37:48,392
Oh, shut up!
476
00:37:51,062 --> 00:37:53,814
Forrest, what are you doing here?
477
00:37:53,898 --> 00:37:55,608
- What are you doing?
- Hey!
478
00:37:55,691 --> 00:37:57,068
- Come on.
- What are you doing?
479
00:37:57,193 --> 00:37:59,195
Forrest, let me down!
480
00:38:05,034 --> 00:38:06,953
You can't keep doing this, Forrest.
481
00:38:07,036 --> 00:38:09,121
You can't keep trying
to rescue me all the time.
482
00:38:09,205 --> 00:38:13,292
- They was trying to grab you.
- A lot of people try to grab me.
483
00:38:14,210 --> 00:38:17,380
Just... You can't keep
doing this all the time.
484
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,800
I can't help it. I love you.
485
00:38:21,759 --> 00:38:25,262
Forrest, you don't know what love is.
486
00:38:32,561 --> 00:38:35,564
You remember that time
we prayed, Forrest?
487
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,945
We prayed for God to turn me
into a bird so I could fly far, far away?
488
00:38:42,905 --> 00:38:44,281
Yes, I do.
489
00:38:48,244 --> 00:38:51,080
You think I could fly off this bridge?
490
00:38:57,753 --> 00:38:59,922
What do you mean, Jenny?
491
00:39:03,801 --> 00:39:05,302
Nothing.
492
00:39:08,264 --> 00:39:10,307
I gotta get out of here.
493
00:39:12,601 --> 00:39:13,686
Wait, Jenny...
494
00:39:13,769 --> 00:39:18,232
Forrest, you stay away from me, okay?
You just stay away from me, please.
495
00:39:18,315 --> 00:39:19,608
Can I have a ride?
496
00:39:19,692 --> 00:39:21,235
- Where you going?
- I don't care.
497
00:39:21,318 --> 00:39:22,695
Get in the truck.
498
00:39:22,778 --> 00:39:24,613
So, bye-bye, Jenny.
499
00:39:27,116 --> 00:39:29,452
They sending me to Vietnam.
500
00:39:32,204 --> 00:39:34,623
It's this whole other country.
501
00:39:37,126 --> 00:39:39,128
Just hang on a minute.
502
00:39:40,546 --> 00:39:43,591
Listen, you promise me
something, okay?
503
00:39:43,674 --> 00:39:47,011
Just, if you're ever in trouble,
don't try to be brave. You just run, okay?
504
00:39:47,136 --> 00:39:48,721
Just run away.
505
00:39:49,972 --> 00:39:51,307
Okay.
506
00:39:56,187 --> 00:39:57,521
Jenny.
507
00:39:59,398 --> 00:40:01,692
I'll write you all the time.
508
00:40:10,826 --> 00:40:13,829
And just like that,
she was gone.
509
00:40:29,929 --> 00:40:33,265
You come back safe to me,
do you hear?
510
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:20,521
Now, they told us that Vietnam
was gonna be very different
511
00:41:20,604 --> 00:41:23,482
from the United States of America.
512
00:41:23,566 --> 00:41:28,612
And except for all the beer cans
and the barbecue, it was.
513
00:41:38,747 --> 00:41:41,834
Hey, I bet there's shrimp
all in these waters.
514
00:41:41,917 --> 00:41:45,087
They tell me these Vietnams
is good shrimpers.
515
00:41:45,171 --> 00:41:48,716
You know, after we win this war,
and we take over everything,
516
00:41:48,799 --> 00:41:50,009
we can get American shrimpers
517
00:41:50,092 --> 00:41:51,844
to come out here
and shrimp these waters.
518
00:41:51,927 --> 00:41:53,470
We'll just shrimp all the time, man.
519
00:41:53,596 --> 00:41:56,765
So much shrimp, why,
you wouldn't believe it.
520
00:41:57,433 --> 00:41:59,351
You must be my FNGs.
521
00:41:59,435 --> 00:42:00,686
- Morning, sir!
- Morning, sir!
522
00:42:00,769 --> 00:42:03,397
Get your hands down! Do not salute me.
523
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,608
There's goddamn snipers
all around this area
524
00:42:05,691 --> 00:42:08,527
who would love to grease an officer.
525
00:42:08,611 --> 00:42:12,114
I'm Lieutenant Dan Taylor.
Welcome to Fourth Platoon.
526
00:42:12,990 --> 00:42:15,409
What's wrong with your lip?
527
00:42:15,492 --> 00:42:17,870
I was born with big gums, sir.
528
00:42:17,953 --> 00:42:22,666
Yeah, well, you better tuck that in.
Gonna get that caught on a trip wire.
529
00:42:23,834 --> 00:42:25,211
Where you boys from in the world?
530
00:42:25,294 --> 00:42:27,671
- Alabama, sir!
- Alabama, sir!
531
00:42:28,380 --> 00:42:29,882
You twins?
532
00:42:31,967 --> 00:42:34,386
No, we are not relations, sir.
533
00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:39,558
Look, it's pretty basic here.
534
00:42:40,351 --> 00:42:42,811
If you stick with me
and learn from the guys
535
00:42:42,895 --> 00:42:45,564
who've been in country a while,
you'll be all right.
536
00:42:45,648 --> 00:42:47,566
There is one item of GI gear
537
00:42:47,650 --> 00:42:51,820
that can be the difference between
a live grunt and a dead grunt.
538
00:42:52,154 --> 00:42:55,324
Socks. Cushion sole, OD green.
539
00:42:55,407 --> 00:42:56,700
Try and keep your feet dry.
540
00:42:56,825 --> 00:42:58,244
When we're out humping,
I want you boys to remember
541
00:42:58,327 --> 00:43:00,788
to change your socks whenever we stop.
542
00:43:00,871 --> 00:43:03,832
The Mekong will eat a grunt's feet
right off his legs.
543
00:43:03,916 --> 00:43:06,210
Sergeant Sims, God damn it,
544
00:43:06,335 --> 00:43:07,753
where is that sling rope
I told you to order?
545
00:43:07,836 --> 00:43:09,755
I put in the requisitions at Battalion.
546
00:43:09,838 --> 00:43:11,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well,
you call those sons of bitches again...
547
00:43:11,924 --> 00:43:14,468
Lieutenant Dan
sure knew his stuff.
548
00:43:14,551 --> 00:43:16,845
I felt real lucky he was my lieutenant.
549
00:43:17,596 --> 00:43:21,058
He was from a long,
great military tradition.
550
00:43:21,267 --> 00:43:24,353
Somebody in his family
had fought and died
551
00:43:25,354 --> 00:43:29,608
in every single American war.
552
00:43:30,526 --> 00:43:32,528
- God damn it, kick some ass!
- I'm on it, Lieutenant.
553
00:43:32,611 --> 00:43:33,737
Get on it!
554
00:43:33,862 --> 00:43:37,199
I guess you could say he had
a lot to live up to.
555
00:43:38,909 --> 00:43:43,747
So, you boys are from Arkansas, huh?
Well, I've been through there.
556
00:43:43,872 --> 00:43:46,041
Little Rock's a fine town.
557
00:43:46,709 --> 00:43:50,296
Now, go shake down your gear,
see the platoon sergeant,
558
00:43:50,379 --> 00:43:52,840
draw what you need for the field.
559
00:43:52,923 --> 00:43:56,885
If you boys are hungry,
we got steaks burning right over here.
560
00:43:56,969 --> 00:43:59,847
Two standing orders in this platoon:
561
00:43:59,930 --> 00:44:02,599
one, take good care of your feet,
562
00:44:02,725 --> 00:44:07,771
two, try not to do anything stupid,
like getting yourself killed.
563
00:44:14,236 --> 00:44:16,322
I sure hope I don't let him down.
564
00:44:27,916 --> 00:44:30,419
I got to see
a lot of the countryside.
565
00:44:30,502 --> 00:44:32,838
We would take these real long walks.
566
00:44:41,305 --> 00:44:45,434
And we were always looking
for this guy named Charlie.
567
00:44:53,275 --> 00:44:55,527
- Hold it up!
- Hold up, boys!
568
00:44:58,364 --> 00:45:00,699
It wasn't always fun.
569
00:45:00,783 --> 00:45:05,079
Lieutenant Dan was always getting
these funny feelings about a rock,
570
00:45:05,162 --> 00:45:10,250
or a trail, or the road,
so he'd tell us to get down, shut up...
571
00:45:10,334 --> 00:45:12,336
Get down! Shut up!
572
00:45:13,295 --> 00:45:14,755
...so we did.
573
00:45:32,314 --> 00:45:34,483
Now, I don't know much about anything,
574
00:45:34,566 --> 00:45:38,404
but I think some of America's
best young men served in this war.
575
00:45:38,487 --> 00:45:41,198
There was Dallas, from Phoenix,
576
00:45:42,908 --> 00:45:45,702
Cleveland, he was from Detroit.
577
00:45:45,828 --> 00:45:48,205
Hey, Tex. Hey, Tex.
578
00:45:48,330 --> 00:45:50,499
Man, what the hell's going on?
579
00:45:50,582 --> 00:45:54,920
And Tex was... Well, I don't remember
where Tex come from.
580
00:45:55,003 --> 00:45:56,547
Nothing.
581
00:46:00,676 --> 00:46:03,178
Fourth Platoon, on your feet.
582
00:46:03,262 --> 00:46:06,974
Still got 10 klicks to go to that river.
Move out.
583
00:46:07,057 --> 00:46:08,851
Come on, move out.
584
00:46:10,894 --> 00:46:13,313
Step it up. Look alive out there.
585
00:46:13,397 --> 00:46:17,734
The good thing about Vietnam
is there was always some place to go.
586
00:46:17,860 --> 00:46:19,236
Fire in the hole!
587
00:46:22,698 --> 00:46:25,033
Gump, check out that hole.
588
00:46:25,117 --> 00:46:28,120
And there was always something to do.
589
00:46:28,203 --> 00:46:31,373
- Mount them up.
- Spread out! Cover his back.
590
00:46:36,420 --> 00:46:42,050
One day, it started raining,
and it didn't quit for four months.
591
00:46:43,051 --> 00:46:45,929
We'd been through
every kind of rain there is:
592
00:46:46,054 --> 00:46:48,599
little bitty stinging rain,
593
00:46:49,308 --> 00:46:51,977
and big old fat rain,
594
00:46:52,436 --> 00:46:55,147
rain that flew in sideways.
595
00:46:55,230 --> 00:46:59,276
And sometimes, rain even seemed
to come straight up from underneath.
596
00:47:01,069 --> 00:47:03,447
Shoot, it even rained at night.
597
00:47:04,490 --> 00:47:06,950
- Hey, Forrest.
- Hey, Bubba.
598
00:47:07,075 --> 00:47:10,370
I'm gonna lean up against you.
You just lean right back against me.
599
00:47:10,454 --> 00:47:14,291
This way, we don't have to sleep
with our heads in the mud.
600
00:47:15,250 --> 00:47:18,712
You know why we a good partnership,
Forrest?
601
00:47:18,795 --> 00:47:21,298
'Cause we be watching out
for one another,
602
00:47:21,423 --> 00:47:23,300
like brothers and stuff.
603
00:47:25,260 --> 00:47:28,931
Hey, Forrest, there's something
I've been thinking about.
604
00:47:29,014 --> 00:47:32,017
I got a very important question
to ask you.
605
00:47:33,644 --> 00:47:37,606
How would you like to go
into the shrimping business with me?
606
00:47:38,774 --> 00:47:40,400
Okay.
607
00:47:40,484 --> 00:47:43,946
Man, I tell you what,
I got it all figured out, too.
608
00:47:44,029 --> 00:47:46,823
So many pounds of shrimp
to pay off the boat,
609
00:47:46,949 --> 00:47:50,244
so many pounds for gas,
we can just live right on the boat.
610
00:47:50,327 --> 00:47:52,621
We ain't got to pay no rent.
611
00:47:52,704 --> 00:47:54,790
I'll be the captain,
we can just work it together,
612
00:47:54,873 --> 00:47:59,127
split everything right down the middle.
Man, I'm telling you, 50-50.
613
00:47:59,211 --> 00:48:02,798
And, hey, Forrest,
all the shrimp you can eat.
614
00:48:04,341 --> 00:48:06,134
That's a fine idea.
615
00:48:07,219 --> 00:48:09,346
Bubba did have a fine idea.
616
00:48:13,141 --> 00:48:16,228
I even wrote Jenny
and told her all about it.
617
00:48:17,020 --> 00:48:20,232
I sent her letters,
not every day, but almost.
618
00:48:20,315 --> 00:48:25,320
I told her what I was doing
and asked her what she was doing,
619
00:48:25,404 --> 00:48:28,156
and told her
how I thought about her always,
620
00:48:29,491 --> 00:48:32,452
and how I was looking forward
to getting a letter from her
621
00:48:32,536 --> 00:48:35,038
just as soon as she had the time.
622
00:48:36,915 --> 00:48:39,418
I'd always let her know that I was okay.
623
00:48:40,711 --> 00:48:45,882
Then, I'd sign each letter,
"Love, Forrest Gump."
624
00:49:00,731 --> 00:49:04,484
This one day, we was out walking,
like always,
625
00:49:04,568 --> 00:49:07,529
and then, just like that,
626
00:49:08,447 --> 00:49:11,867
somebody turned off the rain
and the sun come out.
627
00:49:14,870 --> 00:49:16,705
Ambush!
628
00:49:17,205 --> 00:49:18,582
Take cover!
629
00:49:22,210 --> 00:49:23,378
Get down!
630
00:49:23,462 --> 00:49:24,921
Get the sixty!
631
00:49:28,091 --> 00:49:30,177
Get that pig up here, God damn it!
632
00:49:30,260 --> 00:49:32,387
Forrest, you okay?
633
00:49:35,599 --> 00:49:38,226
Strongarm! Strongarm!
Be advised, Strongarm!
634
00:49:38,769 --> 00:49:41,188
Medic, we got a man down!
635
00:49:41,271 --> 00:49:44,232
Strongarm, this is Leg Lima 6, over!
636
00:49:44,941 --> 00:49:48,278
Roger, Strongarm, be advised
we have incoming from the tree line
637
00:49:48,403 --> 00:49:51,907
at points blue plus two.
AKs and rockets...
638
00:49:52,574 --> 00:49:54,368
Misfire! Misfire!
639
00:49:56,745 --> 00:49:58,747
God damn it! Mac!
640
00:49:59,706 --> 00:50:03,126
Get that thing...
Fuck it, get it in the tree line!
641
00:50:04,086 --> 00:50:05,253
Jesus!
642
00:50:05,379 --> 00:50:07,589
My unit is down hard and hurting!
643
00:50:07,714 --> 00:50:11,259
Six are pulling back to Blue Line,
Leg Lima 6 out.
644
00:50:12,052 --> 00:50:14,012
Pull back! Pull back!
645
00:50:14,096 --> 00:50:16,223
Run! Run, Forrest!
646
00:50:16,306 --> 00:50:18,642
- Pull back!
- Forrest, Forrest!
647
00:50:18,767 --> 00:50:21,353
Run, man! Run!
648
00:50:21,436 --> 00:50:23,230
Pull back! Run!
649
00:50:25,065 --> 00:50:27,275
Run, God damn it, run!
650
00:50:48,463 --> 00:50:53,093
Medic! Can I get a medic?
651
00:50:53,468 --> 00:50:56,805
I ran and ran,
just like Jenny told me to.
652
00:51:00,183 --> 00:51:04,396
I ran so far and so fast
that pretty soon I was all by myself,
653
00:51:04,479 --> 00:51:06,440
which was a bad thing.
654
00:51:06,982 --> 00:51:08,525
Bubba!
655
00:51:10,652 --> 00:51:14,448
Bubba was my best good friend.
I had to make sure that he was okay.
656
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,203
Any friendlies out there?
657
00:51:21,163 --> 00:51:23,331
Yeah, I've got
three over here.
658
00:51:23,957 --> 00:51:25,959
Where the hell are you?
659
00:51:26,543 --> 00:51:27,878
Bubba?
660
00:51:28,962 --> 00:51:31,673
And on my way back to find Bubba,
661
00:51:31,798 --> 00:51:34,593
well, there was this boy
laying on the ground.
662
00:51:34,676 --> 00:51:35,886
Tex!
663
00:51:37,971 --> 00:51:38,972
Okay.
664
00:51:39,055 --> 00:51:43,018
I couldn't just let him lay there all alone,
scared the way he was,
665
00:51:43,143 --> 00:51:47,022
so I grabbed him up
and run him out of there.
666
00:52:02,162 --> 00:52:04,581
And every time I went back
looking for Bubba,
667
00:52:04,706 --> 00:52:08,210
somebody else was saying,
"Help me, Forrest. Help me."
668
00:52:15,884 --> 00:52:17,761
Can't hear... Can't hear...
669
00:52:20,055 --> 00:52:21,348
No sweat, man. Just lay back.
670
00:52:21,431 --> 00:52:23,934
You'll be okay. You'll be okay.
671
00:52:25,936 --> 00:52:28,980
I started to get scared
that I might never find Bubba.
672
00:52:29,064 --> 00:52:30,315
... over.
673
00:52:30,398 --> 00:52:33,693
Roger, Strongarm,
I know my position is danger close.
674
00:52:33,777 --> 00:52:35,612
We got Charlie all over this area.
675
00:52:35,737 --> 00:52:38,031
I gotta have those fast movers
in here now. Over.
676
00:52:38,114 --> 00:52:41,493
- Six, Strongarm, we want...
- Lieutenant Dan, Coleman's dead!
677
00:52:41,576 --> 00:52:42,786
I know he's dead!
678
00:52:42,911 --> 00:52:45,747
My whole goddamn platoon
is wiped out!
679
00:52:45,872 --> 00:52:47,207
- Leg Lima 6, Leg Lima 6.
- God damn it!
680
00:52:47,290 --> 00:52:50,001
- Copy this transmission. Over.
- What are you doing?
681
00:52:50,085 --> 00:52:53,421
Just leave me here! Get away.
Just leave me here! Get out!
682
00:52:53,547 --> 00:52:55,841
Leg Lima 6, Strongarm.
How copy this? Over.
683
00:52:55,924 --> 00:52:58,552
God, I said leave me here, God damn it!
684
00:52:58,635 --> 00:53:01,805
Leg Lima 6, Leg Lima 6,
this is Strongarm, be advised
685
00:53:01,930 --> 00:53:03,890
your fast movers
are inbound at this time, over.
686
00:53:03,974 --> 00:53:07,394
Then, it felt like something
just jumped up and bit me.
687
00:53:08,270 --> 00:53:09,938
Something bit me!
688
00:53:16,820 --> 00:53:18,947
You chink son of a bitch!
689
00:53:21,449 --> 00:53:23,451
I can't leave the platoon.
690
00:53:23,577 --> 00:53:28,498
I told you to leave me there, Gump.
Forget about me. Get yourself out!
691
00:53:28,623 --> 00:53:30,750
Did you hear what I said?
692
00:53:31,459 --> 00:53:33,420
God damn it, put me down!
693
00:53:34,129 --> 00:53:36,172
Get your ass out of here!
694
00:53:39,467 --> 00:53:42,053
I didn't ask you to pull me out of there,
God damn you!
695
00:53:42,137 --> 00:53:43,471
Where the hell
do you think you're going?
696
00:53:43,597 --> 00:53:44,681
To get Bubba.
697
00:53:44,806 --> 00:53:48,643
I got an air strike inbound right now.
They're gonna nape the whole area.
698
00:53:48,768 --> 00:53:51,146
Gump, you stay here, God damn it!
That's an order!
699
00:53:51,271 --> 00:53:53,690
I gotta find Bubba!
700
00:54:09,664 --> 00:54:11,124
Forrest.
701
00:54:18,882 --> 00:54:21,551
- Bubba.
- I'm okay, Forrest.
702
00:54:22,344 --> 00:54:24,012
I'm okay.
703
00:54:31,853 --> 00:54:33,688
Oh, Bubba, no...
704
00:54:33,813 --> 00:54:36,024
Nah, I'm gonna be all right.
705
00:54:44,199 --> 00:54:46,868
Come on. Come on. Come on.
706
00:54:51,873 --> 00:54:53,375
I'm okay, Forrest.
707
00:54:54,709 --> 00:54:57,545
I'm okay, man. I'm fine.
708
00:55:34,582 --> 00:55:37,711
Helo's inbound.
Top smoke, get it out there!
709
00:55:38,753 --> 00:55:43,258
If I'd a known this was gonna be the
last time me and Bubba was gonna talk,
710
00:55:43,383 --> 00:55:45,677
I'd of thought of something better to say.
711
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,262
Hey, Bubba.
712
00:55:48,388 --> 00:55:49,764
Hey, Forrest.
713
00:55:52,100 --> 00:55:55,311
Forrest, why'd this happen?
714
00:55:56,646 --> 00:55:58,440
You got shot.
715
00:56:00,150 --> 00:56:04,320
Then Bubba said something
I won't ever forget.
716
00:56:05,113 --> 00:56:06,781
I wanna go home.
717
00:56:08,783 --> 00:56:10,827
Bubba was my best good friend.
718
00:56:11,786 --> 00:56:16,332
And even I know that ain't something
you can find just around the corner.
719
00:56:16,458 --> 00:56:19,544
Bubba was gonna be
a shrimping boat captain,
720
00:56:19,627 --> 00:56:23,590
but instead he died right there
by that river in Vietnam.
721
00:56:29,304 --> 00:56:31,598
That's all I have to say about that.
722
00:56:33,975 --> 00:56:36,144
It was a bullet, wasn't it?
723
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,149
- A bullet?
- That jumped up and bit you.
724
00:56:43,526 --> 00:56:45,612
Oh, yes, sir.
725
00:56:45,695 --> 00:56:48,823
Bit me directly in the buttocks.
726
00:56:48,948 --> 00:56:54,204
They said it was a million-dollar wound,
but the Army must keep that money,
727
00:56:54,329 --> 00:56:58,166
'cause I still ain't seen a nickel
of that million dollars.
728
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,504
The only good thing
about being wounded in the buttocks
729
00:57:02,629 --> 00:57:04,339
is the ice cream.
730
00:57:04,464 --> 00:57:07,050
They gave me all the ice cream
I could eat.
731
00:57:07,175 --> 00:57:08,468
And guess what?
732
00:57:08,551 --> 00:57:11,679
A good friend of mine
was in the bed right next door.
733
00:57:13,890 --> 00:57:16,976
Lieutenant Dan,
I got you some ice cream.
734
00:57:19,354 --> 00:57:21,523
Lieutenant Dan, ice cream.
735
00:57:33,243 --> 00:57:35,537
It's time for your bath, Lieutenant.
736
00:57:44,045 --> 00:57:45,380
Harper!
737
00:57:48,591 --> 00:57:51,052
Cooper, Larson,
738
00:57:53,263 --> 00:57:54,597
Webster,
739
00:57:56,015 --> 00:57:59,519
- Gump. Gump.
- I'm Forrest Gump.
740
00:58:03,064 --> 00:58:06,359
Kyle, Nichols,
741
00:58:08,570 --> 00:58:14,534
McMill, Johnson, Tyler,
742
00:58:15,869 --> 00:58:17,245
Holiday...
743
00:58:24,002 --> 00:58:26,254
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
744
00:58:29,591 --> 00:58:32,093
Gump, how can you watch
that stupid shit?
745
00:58:32,177 --> 00:58:33,761
- From the DMZ to the Delta...
- Turn it off!
746
00:58:33,845 --> 00:58:37,098
...you are tuned to the
American Forces Vietnam Network.
747
00:58:37,223 --> 00:58:39,559
This is Channel 6, Saigon.
748
00:58:42,270 --> 00:58:43,938
Good catch, Gump.
749
00:58:45,899 --> 00:58:48,067
You know how to play this?
750
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,446
Come on, let me show you. Here.
751
00:58:53,531 --> 00:58:55,867
Now, the secret to this game is,
752
00:58:55,950 --> 00:59:01,789
no matter what happens,
never ever take your eye off the ball.
753
00:59:05,376 --> 00:59:06,711
All right.
754
00:59:10,048 --> 00:59:13,718
For some reason,
Ping-Pong came very natural to me.
755
00:59:14,052 --> 00:59:16,971
See? Any idiot can play.
756
00:59:17,472 --> 00:59:20,225
So, I started playing it all the time.
757
00:59:21,392 --> 00:59:22,727
I played Ping-Pong
758
00:59:22,810 --> 00:59:26,105
even when I didn't have anyone
to play Ping-Pong with.
759
00:59:34,155 --> 00:59:38,826
The hospital's people said
it made me look like a duck in water,
760
00:59:38,952 --> 00:59:40,787
whatever that means.
761
00:59:41,246 --> 00:59:44,499
Even Lieutenant Dan would come
and watch me play.
762
00:59:50,004 --> 00:59:53,883
I played Ping-Pong so much,
I even played it in my sleep.
763
01:00:01,683 --> 01:00:06,771
Now, you listen to me.
We all have a destiny.
764
01:00:06,854 --> 01:00:09,899
Nothing just happens,
it's all part of a plan.
765
01:00:10,024 --> 01:00:12,694
I should have died out there
with my men,
766
01:00:12,819 --> 01:00:16,781
but now I'm nothing
but a goddamn cripple,
767
01:00:16,864 --> 01:00:20,493
a legless freak! Look! Look! Look at me!
768
01:00:21,244 --> 01:00:22,328
Do you see that?
769
01:00:22,412 --> 01:00:26,207
Do you know what it's like
not to be able to use your legs?
770
01:00:29,544 --> 01:00:31,170
Yes, sir, I do.
771
01:00:34,841 --> 01:00:36,884
Did you hear what I said?
772
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,512
You cheated me.
773
01:00:39,595 --> 01:00:40,763
I had a destiny.
774
01:00:40,847 --> 01:00:44,392
I was supposed to die in the field,
with honor!
775
01:00:45,059 --> 01:00:49,105
That was my destiny,
and you cheated me out of it!
776
01:00:58,740 --> 01:01:01,451
Do you understand
what I'm saying, Gump?
777
01:01:03,578 --> 01:01:06,956
This wasn't supposed to happen,
not to me.
778
01:01:09,584 --> 01:01:11,252
I had a destiny.
779
01:01:13,212 --> 01:01:17,592
I was Lieutenant Dan Taylor.
780
01:01:23,765 --> 01:01:26,100
You're still Lieutenant Dan.
781
01:01:49,332 --> 01:01:50,833
Look at me.
782
01:01:52,168 --> 01:01:54,128
What am I gonna do now?
783
01:01:57,799 --> 01:01:59,842
What am I gonna do now?
784
01:02:10,228 --> 01:02:11,687
PFC Gump?
785
01:02:13,231 --> 01:02:14,649
Yes, sir!
786
01:02:15,316 --> 01:02:16,818
As you were.
787
01:02:17,318 --> 01:02:21,155
Son, you've been awarded
the Medal of Honor.
788
01:02:22,198 --> 01:02:25,827
Guess what, Lieutenant Dan,
they want to give me a...
789
01:02:32,583 --> 01:02:36,337
Ma'am, what'd they do
with Lieutenant Dan?
790
01:02:37,255 --> 01:02:39,048
They sent him home.
791
01:02:45,054 --> 01:02:47,807
Two weeks later, I left Vietnam.
792
01:02:48,850 --> 01:02:52,395
The ceremony was kicked off
with a candid speech by the President
793
01:02:52,478 --> 01:02:55,857
regarding the need for further escalation
of the war in Vietnam.
794
01:02:55,940 --> 01:02:58,067
President Johnson awarded
four Medals of Honor
795
01:02:58,151 --> 01:02:59,819
to men
from each of the Armed Services.
796
01:02:59,902 --> 01:03:02,822
America owes you
a debt of gratitude, son.
797
01:03:04,824 --> 01:03:08,619
I understand you were wounded.
Where were you hit?
798
01:03:08,703 --> 01:03:11,873
- In the buttocks, sir.
- That must be a sight.
799
01:03:12,623 --> 01:03:14,917
I'd kind of like to see that.
800
01:03:29,056 --> 01:03:30,516
God damn, son.
801
01:03:32,643 --> 01:03:36,481
After that,
Mama went to the hotel to lay down,
802
01:03:36,564 --> 01:03:40,067
so I went out for a walk
to see our nation's capital.
803
01:03:40,151 --> 01:03:41,694
Hilary, all right,
I've got the vets,
804
01:03:41,777 --> 01:03:43,279
what do you want me to do with them?
805
01:03:43,362 --> 01:03:45,114
What are you doing here
so late?
806
01:03:45,198 --> 01:03:49,243
It's a good thing Mama was resting,
'cause the streets was awful crowded
807
01:03:49,327 --> 01:03:52,497
with people looking
at all the statues and monuments,
808
01:03:52,580 --> 01:03:55,208
and some of them people were loud
and pushy.
809
01:03:55,291 --> 01:03:58,252
Okay, follow me! Come on.
Let's move it out.
810
01:03:59,086 --> 01:04:02,048
Everywhere I went,
I had to stand in line.
811
01:04:05,301 --> 01:04:06,844
Follow me, let's go!
812
01:04:08,638 --> 01:04:10,264
Come on. Let's go.
813
01:04:16,312 --> 01:04:17,897
Stand here.
814
01:04:20,358 --> 01:04:23,528
Hey, you're a good man
for doing this. Good!
815
01:04:24,820 --> 01:04:25,947
Okay.
816
01:04:26,739 --> 01:04:30,117
There was this man giving a little talk.
817
01:04:30,201 --> 01:04:33,704
And for some reason, he was
wearing an American flag for a shirt.
818
01:04:33,788 --> 01:04:35,248
Now, I'm gonna
bring up some soldiers...
819
01:04:35,331 --> 01:04:38,125
And he liked to say the "F" word.
820
01:04:38,209 --> 01:04:41,587
A lot."F" this and "F" that.
821
01:04:41,671 --> 01:04:44,006
And every time he said the "F" word,
822
01:04:44,090 --> 01:04:46,842
people, for some reason,
well, they'd cheer.
823
01:04:46,926 --> 01:04:49,554
...where to stick this fucking war! Yeah!
824
01:04:51,055 --> 01:04:53,391
Yeah! Yeah!
825
01:04:53,975 --> 01:04:56,477
Come on, man, come up here, man.
826
01:04:56,894 --> 01:05:00,231
Come on. Come on. Yeah, you!
Come on. Move, move, move.
827
01:05:01,232 --> 01:05:04,652
You can do it. Just get up there.
Go on. That's it.
828
01:05:17,456 --> 01:05:20,001
Tell us a little bit about the war, man.
829
01:05:20,084 --> 01:05:21,836
The war in Vietnam?
830
01:05:21,919 --> 01:05:24,839
- The war in Viet-fucking-nam!
- Yeah!
831
01:05:45,192 --> 01:05:46,277
Peace!
832
01:05:46,652 --> 01:05:48,029
Come on, man, go!
833
01:05:48,321 --> 01:05:50,281
- Come on!
- Peace!
834
01:05:50,364 --> 01:05:51,407
Well...
835
01:05:51,490 --> 01:05:54,952
There was only one thing
I could say about the war in Vietnam.
836
01:05:55,036 --> 01:05:59,874
...there's only one thing
I can say about the war in Vietnam.
837
01:06:03,669 --> 01:06:07,465
In Vietnam, your...
838
01:06:17,224 --> 01:06:18,309
Hey, what the hell are you...
839
01:06:18,392 --> 01:06:21,145
I'll beat your head in,
you goddamn oinker!
840
01:06:21,228 --> 01:06:23,731
Jesus Christ, what'd they do with this?
841
01:06:25,149 --> 01:06:26,817
We can't hear you!
842
01:06:28,527 --> 01:06:30,529
We can't hear anything!
843
01:06:31,238 --> 01:06:33,741
- This one! This one! Give me that!
- Turn it up!
844
01:06:33,824 --> 01:06:35,242
Speak up!
845
01:06:36,035 --> 01:06:37,495
That's it!
846
01:06:38,579 --> 01:06:41,415
...and that's all I have to say about that.
847
01:06:48,714 --> 01:06:51,676
That's so right on, man. You said it all.
848
01:06:53,177 --> 01:06:55,680
What's your name, man?
849
01:06:55,763 --> 01:06:58,391
My name is Forrest. Forrest Gump.
850
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:00,768
Forrest Gump!
851
01:07:00,893 --> 01:07:02,269
- Gump!
- Gump!
852
01:07:03,771 --> 01:07:07,525
Forrest! Forrest!
853
01:07:11,570 --> 01:07:13,948
- Jenny!
- Forrest!
854
01:07:30,715 --> 01:07:33,384
Hey! Hey!
855
01:07:41,475 --> 01:07:44,603
It was the happiest moment of my life.
856
01:07:46,939 --> 01:07:50,317
Jenny and me were just like
peas and carrots again.
857
01:07:51,652 --> 01:07:53,237
She showed me around,
858
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,906
and even introduced me
to some of her new friends.
859
01:07:55,990 --> 01:07:57,324
Shut that blind, man.
860
01:07:57,450 --> 01:07:59,660
And get your white ass
away from that window.
861
01:07:59,744 --> 01:08:01,829
Don't you know we in a war here?
862
01:08:02,663 --> 01:08:04,081
Hey, man, he's cool. He's cool.
He's one of us.
863
01:08:04,165 --> 01:08:06,083
- Let me tell you about us.
- Where the hell have you been?
864
01:08:06,167 --> 01:08:08,252
Our purpose here
is to protect our black leaders
865
01:08:08,335 --> 01:08:10,087
from the racial onslaught of the pig
866
01:08:10,171 --> 01:08:12,256
who wishes to brutalize
our black leaders,
867
01:08:12,339 --> 01:08:15,676
rape our women,
and destroy our black communities.
868
01:08:18,596 --> 01:08:20,514
Who's the baby killer?
869
01:08:20,639 --> 01:08:23,350
This is my good friend I told you about.
This is Forrest Gump.
870
01:08:23,434 --> 01:08:25,186
Forrest, this is Wesley.
871
01:08:25,269 --> 01:08:26,562
Wesley and I lived together in Berkeley,
872
01:08:26,645 --> 01:08:29,273
and he's the president
of the Berkeley chapter of SDS.
873
01:08:29,356 --> 01:08:30,775
Let me tell you something else.
874
01:08:30,858 --> 01:08:35,112
We are here to offer protection and help
for all of those who need our help,
875
01:08:35,196 --> 01:08:38,783
because we, the Black Panthers,
are against the war in Vietnam.
876
01:08:38,866 --> 01:08:42,536
Yes, we are against any war where
black soldiers are sent to the frontline
877
01:08:42,620 --> 01:08:44,538
to die for a country that hates them.
878
01:08:44,622 --> 01:08:47,792
Yes, we are against any war
where black soldiers go to fight
879
01:08:47,875 --> 01:08:50,961
and come to be brutalized and killed
in their own communities
880
01:08:51,045 --> 01:08:52,630
as they sleep in their beds at night.
881
01:08:52,713 --> 01:08:53,881
You are a fucking asshole!
882
01:08:53,964 --> 01:08:57,343
Yes, we are against all these racist
and imperial dog acts.
883
01:09:06,644 --> 01:09:09,855
Forrest! Quit it! Quit it!
884
01:09:11,816 --> 01:09:13,067
Forrest!
885
01:09:13,651 --> 01:09:15,402
Stop it! Stop it!
886
01:09:22,034 --> 01:09:23,410
Oh, God...
887
01:09:24,245 --> 01:09:26,664
I shouldn't have brought you here.
888
01:09:26,747 --> 01:09:30,376
I should have known it was just
gonna be some bullshit hassle.
889
01:09:31,544 --> 01:09:34,171
He should not be hitting you, Jenny.
890
01:09:39,093 --> 01:09:40,845
Come on, Forrest.
891
01:09:46,559 --> 01:09:50,563
Sorry I had a fight in the middle
of your Black Panther party.
892
01:09:53,440 --> 01:09:55,776
He doesn't mean it when
he does things like this. He doesn't.
893
01:09:55,860 --> 01:09:58,195
I would never hurt you, Jenny.
894
01:10:00,030 --> 01:10:02,283
I know you wouldn't, Forrest.
895
01:10:04,201 --> 01:10:06,787
I wanted to be your boyfriend.
896
01:10:17,298 --> 01:10:19,717
That uniform is a trip, Forrest.
897
01:10:21,093 --> 01:10:24,305
You look handsome in it. You do.
898
01:10:28,392 --> 01:10:30,311
- You know what?
- What?
899
01:10:33,939 --> 01:10:37,568
I'm glad we were here together
in our nation's capital.
900
01:10:39,153 --> 01:10:40,905
Me, too, Forrest.
901
01:10:40,988 --> 01:10:45,659
We walked around all night,
Jenny and me, just talking.
902
01:10:47,745 --> 01:10:50,915
She told me about
all the traveling she'd done.
903
01:10:50,998 --> 01:10:55,586
And how she'd discovered ways
to expand her mind
904
01:10:55,669 --> 01:10:58,756
and learn how to live in harmony,
905
01:10:58,839 --> 01:11:01,175
which must be out west somewhere,
906
01:11:01,258 --> 01:11:03,594
'cause she made it
all the way to California.
907
01:11:03,677 --> 01:11:05,930
Try to love one another right now
908
01:11:06,013 --> 01:11:07,181
Hey!
909
01:11:08,140 --> 01:11:10,684
Anybody want to go to San Francisco?
910
01:11:10,768 --> 01:11:12,645
- I'll go.
- Far out.
911
01:11:14,104 --> 01:11:17,274
It was a very special night
for the two of us.
912
01:11:18,859 --> 01:11:20,945
I didn't want it to end.
913
01:11:21,737 --> 01:11:24,156
I wish you wouldn't go, Jenny.
914
01:11:25,157 --> 01:11:26,951
I have to, Forrest.
915
01:11:27,952 --> 01:11:29,203
Jenny?
916
01:11:31,372 --> 01:11:33,958
Things got a little out of hand.
917
01:11:34,041 --> 01:11:37,878
It's just this war
and that lying son of a bitch, Johnson!
918
01:11:39,546 --> 01:11:42,341
I would never hurt you, you know that.
919
01:11:45,469 --> 01:11:47,471
You know what I think?
920
01:11:48,973 --> 01:11:54,228
I think you should go home
to Greenbow, Alabama!
921
01:12:04,738 --> 01:12:09,827
Forrest, we have very different lives,
you know.
922
01:12:19,253 --> 01:12:22,423
I want you to have this.
923
01:12:27,094 --> 01:12:29,263
Forrest, I can't keep this.
924
01:12:30,931 --> 01:12:35,185
I got it just by doing
what you told me to do.
925
01:12:37,229 --> 01:12:39,398
Why are you so good to me?
926
01:12:40,899 --> 01:12:42,443
You're my girl.
927
01:12:44,445 --> 01:12:46,572
I'll always be your girl.
928
01:13:26,987 --> 01:13:31,825
And just like that,
she was gone, out of my life again.
929
01:13:33,327 --> 01:13:35,662
That's one small step for man,
930
01:13:37,664 --> 01:13:40,501
one giant leap for mankind.
931
01:13:46,173 --> 01:13:48,675
I thought I was
going back to Vietnam,
932
01:13:48,801 --> 01:13:52,012
but instead, they decided the best way
for me to fight the Communists
933
01:13:52,096 --> 01:13:53,722
was to play Ping-Pong.
934
01:13:53,806 --> 01:13:56,100
So, I was in the Special Services,
935
01:13:56,183 --> 01:13:59,436
traveling around the country
cheering up all them wounded veterans
936
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:01,939
and showing them
how to play Ping-Pong.
937
01:14:02,022 --> 01:14:03,941
I was so good that some years later
938
01:14:04,024 --> 01:14:07,653
the Army decided that I should be
on the All-American Ping-Pong team.
939
01:14:08,278 --> 01:14:10,697
We were the first Americans
to visit the land of China
940
01:14:10,781 --> 01:14:13,200
in like a million years,
or something like that.
941
01:14:13,325 --> 01:14:16,745
Somebody said world peace
was in our hands,
942
01:14:16,829 --> 01:14:19,623
but all I did was play Ping-Pong.
943
01:14:19,706 --> 01:14:22,793
When I got home,
I was a national celebrity.
944
01:14:23,502 --> 01:14:25,796
Famouser even than Captain Kangaroo.
945
01:14:25,879 --> 01:14:28,549
Here he is, Forrest Gump, right here.
946
01:14:35,305 --> 01:14:37,057
Mr. Gump, have a seat.
947
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,728
Forrest Gump, John Lennon.
948
01:14:42,396 --> 01:14:43,647
- Welcome home.
- You had quite a trip.
949
01:14:43,730 --> 01:14:47,067
Can you tell us, what was China like?
950
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:55,576
In the land of China,
people hardly got nothing at all.
951
01:14:55,659 --> 01:14:57,244
No possessions?
952
01:14:59,872 --> 01:15:03,083
And in China, they never go to church.
953
01:15:04,376 --> 01:15:05,919
No religion, too?
954
01:15:08,005 --> 01:15:11,300
- Hard to imagine.
- Well, it's easy if you try, Dick.
955
01:15:13,093 --> 01:15:15,470
Some years later,
that nice young man from England
956
01:15:15,554 --> 01:15:18,182
was on his way home
to see his little boy
957
01:15:18,265 --> 01:15:21,268
and was signing some autographs,
958
01:15:21,393 --> 01:15:25,355
and for no particular reason at all,
somebody shot him.
959
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:32,237
They gave you
the Congressional Medal of Honor.
960
01:15:33,530 --> 01:15:35,616
Now, that's Lieutenant Dan.
961
01:15:38,410 --> 01:15:40,037
Lieutenant Dan!
962
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:44,583
They gave you
the Congressional Medal of Honor!
963
01:15:46,460 --> 01:15:47,961
Yes, sir, they surely did.
964
01:15:48,045 --> 01:15:50,047
They gave you,
965
01:15:50,130 --> 01:15:54,301
an imbecile,
a moron who goes on television
966
01:15:54,384 --> 01:15:58,639
and makes a fool out of himself
in front of the whole damn country,
967
01:15:59,306 --> 01:16:01,808
the Congressional Medal of Honor.
968
01:16:02,976 --> 01:16:04,144
Yes, sir.
969
01:16:06,313 --> 01:16:09,149
Well, then, that's just perfect!
970
01:16:11,068 --> 01:16:13,403
Yeah, well,
I just got one thing to say to that.
971
01:16:13,487 --> 01:16:15,739
God damn bless America.
972
01:16:16,657 --> 01:16:17,950
Hey!
973
01:16:19,743 --> 01:16:21,078
Oh, God!
974
01:16:23,580 --> 01:16:25,999
- Oh, God!
- Lieutenant Dan!
975
01:16:27,125 --> 01:16:29,878
Lieutenant Dan said
he was living in a hotel.
976
01:16:29,962 --> 01:16:31,922
And because he didn't have no legs,
977
01:16:32,005 --> 01:16:35,175
he spent most of his time
exercising his arms.
978
01:16:38,053 --> 01:16:40,514
Take a right. Take a right.
979
01:16:43,141 --> 01:16:45,686
Hey! Come on, already!
980
01:16:45,769 --> 01:16:48,563
What do you do here in New York,
Lieutenant Dan?
981
01:16:48,647 --> 01:16:51,191
I'm living off the government tit.
982
01:16:52,818 --> 01:16:54,194
Sucking it dry!
983
01:16:54,278 --> 01:16:56,321
Hey! Hey! Hey! Are you blind?
984
01:16:56,405 --> 01:16:58,115
- I'm walking here!
- Get out of the way!
985
01:16:58,198 --> 01:17:00,784
Get out! Come on, go! Go! Go!
986
01:17:07,833 --> 01:17:11,586
I stayed with Lieutenant Dan
and celebrated the holidays.
987
01:17:16,008 --> 01:17:19,428
You have a great year.
Hurry home and God bless you.
988
01:17:22,431 --> 01:17:25,225
Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?
989
01:17:26,810 --> 01:17:29,479
I didn't know I was supposed to be
looking for him, sir.
990
01:17:37,070 --> 01:17:40,449
That's all these cripples,
down at the VA,
991
01:17:40,532 --> 01:17:42,951
that's all they ever talk about.
992
01:17:44,119 --> 01:17:47,080
Jesus this and Jesus that.
993
01:17:48,540 --> 01:17:50,834
Have I found Jesus?
994
01:17:51,460 --> 01:17:54,463
They even had a priest come
and talk to me.
995
01:17:55,339 --> 01:18:00,010
He said God is listening,
but I have to help myself.
996
01:18:01,386 --> 01:18:03,680
How if I accept Jesus into my heart,
997
01:18:04,681 --> 01:18:08,477
I'll get to walk beside him
in the kingdom of heaven.
998
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,729
Did you hear what I said?
999
01:18:11,772 --> 01:18:15,776
Walk beside him
in the kingdom of heaven.
1000
01:18:15,859 --> 01:18:18,820
Well, kiss my crippled ass.
1001
01:18:18,904 --> 01:18:22,282
God is listening? What a crock of shit.
1002
01:18:25,952 --> 01:18:28,580
I'm going to heaven, Lieutenant Dan.
1003
01:18:36,380 --> 01:18:37,756
Well,
1004
01:18:40,717 --> 01:18:44,096
before you go, why don't you get
your ass down to the corner
1005
01:18:44,179 --> 01:18:46,681
- and get us another bottle of Ripple.
- Yes, sir.
1006
01:18:46,765 --> 01:18:51,895
We are at approximately 45th Street
in New York City at One Astor Plaza.
1007
01:18:51,978 --> 01:18:53,814
This is the site of the old Astor Hotel.
1008
01:18:53,897 --> 01:18:56,108
What the hell
is in Bayou La Batre?
1009
01:18:56,191 --> 01:18:58,527
- Shrimping boats.
- Shrimping boats?
1010
01:18:58,610 --> 01:19:01,029
Who gives a shit
about shrimping boats?
1011
01:19:01,113 --> 01:19:02,572
I gotta buy me
one of them shrimping boats,
1012
01:19:02,656 --> 01:19:04,199
soon as I have some money.
1013
01:19:04,282 --> 01:19:07,119
I made me a promise to Bubba
in Vietnam
1014
01:19:07,202 --> 01:19:09,913
that as soon as the war was over,
we'd go in partners.
1015
01:19:09,996 --> 01:19:13,417
He'd be the captain of the
shrimping boat and I'd be his first mate.
1016
01:19:13,500 --> 01:19:16,962
But now that he's dead,
that means I gotta be the captain.
1017
01:19:17,045 --> 01:19:19,756
- A shrimp boat captain.
- Yes, sir.
1018
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,300
A promise is a promise, Lieutenant Dan.
1019
01:19:24,094 --> 01:19:26,555
Now hear this!
1020
01:19:27,305 --> 01:19:31,143
Private Gump here
is gonna be a shrimp boat captain.
1021
01:19:31,893 --> 01:19:33,311
Well, I tell you what, Gilligan,
1022
01:19:33,395 --> 01:19:35,856
the day that you are
a shrimp boat captain,
1023
01:19:35,939 --> 01:19:39,484
- I will come and be your first mate.
- Okay.
1024
01:19:39,568 --> 01:19:43,905
If you're ever a shrimp boat captain,
that's the day I'm an astronaut.
1025
01:19:43,989 --> 01:19:46,992
Danny, what are you
complaining about?
1026
01:19:47,075 --> 01:19:49,661
- What are you doing, hon?
- Mr. Hot Wheels.
1027
01:19:49,744 --> 01:19:53,373
- Who's your friend?
- My name is Forrest, Forrest Gump.
1028
01:19:54,207 --> 01:19:58,420
This is Cunning Carla
and Long-Limbs Lenore.
1029
01:19:59,504 --> 01:20:02,716
So, where you been, baby cakes, huh?
Haven't seen you around lately.
1030
01:20:02,799 --> 01:20:04,259
You know, you should have
been here for Christmas,
1031
01:20:04,342 --> 01:20:05,677
'cause Tommy bought a round
on the house
1032
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:07,262
and gave everybody a turkey sandwich.
1033
01:20:07,345 --> 01:20:10,390
Well, well, I had company.
1034
01:20:11,266 --> 01:20:14,936
Hey, hey! We was just there.
That's at Times Square.
1035
01:20:15,562 --> 01:20:19,691
Don't you just love New Year's?
You get to start all over.
1036
01:20:19,774 --> 01:20:23,069
- Hey, Lenore...
- Everybody gets a second chance.
1037
01:20:23,153 --> 01:20:25,697
It's funny,
but in the middle of all that fun,
1038
01:20:25,780 --> 01:20:28,074
I began to think about Jenny,
1039
01:20:28,992 --> 01:20:33,455
wondering how she was spending
her New Year's night out in California.
1040
01:20:56,061 --> 01:20:59,564
... eight, seven, six, five,
1041
01:20:59,689 --> 01:21:03,151
four, three, two, one!
1042
01:21:03,276 --> 01:21:05,946
Happy New Year!
1043
01:21:22,420 --> 01:21:25,131
Happy New Year, Lieutenant Dan!
1044
01:22:00,417 --> 01:22:04,087
What are you, stupid or something?
What's your problem?
1045
01:22:04,754 --> 01:22:06,172
What's his problem?
1046
01:22:06,256 --> 01:22:08,508
Did you lose your pecker in the war
or something?
1047
01:22:08,592 --> 01:22:10,635
What, is your friend stupid
or something?
1048
01:22:10,719 --> 01:22:11,803
What did you say?
1049
01:22:11,886 --> 01:22:13,305
I said, is your friend stupid
or something?
1050
01:22:13,388 --> 01:22:15,557
Hey! Don't call him stupid!
1051
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:17,601
- Hey, don't you push her!
- You shut up!
1052
01:22:17,684 --> 01:22:19,728
- Don't you ever call him stupid!
- What's the matter, baby?
1053
01:22:19,811 --> 01:22:21,521
- Why are you so upset?
- Just get the hell out of here.
1054
01:22:21,605 --> 01:22:22,689
- Stupid damn...
- Get your goddamn clothes...
1055
01:22:22,772 --> 01:22:24,274
You belong in Ripley's Believe It Or Not!
1056
01:22:24,357 --> 01:22:26,234
- Get the hell out of here!
- You should be in a sideshow!
1057
01:22:26,318 --> 01:22:27,360
Go on! Get out of here!
1058
01:22:27,444 --> 01:22:28,737
Come on, Lenore.
We don't need this shit!
1059
01:22:28,820 --> 01:22:30,196
Get out of here!
1060
01:22:31,823 --> 01:22:34,367
- You retard.
- Loser. You freak.
1061
01:22:39,748 --> 01:22:40,957
No, no.
1062
01:23:06,107 --> 01:23:10,070
I'm sorry I ruined your
New Year's Eve party, Lieutenant Dan.
1063
01:23:10,654 --> 01:23:12,947
She tasted like cigarettes.
1064
01:23:29,130 --> 01:23:30,674
I guess Lieutenant Dan figured
1065
01:23:30,757 --> 01:23:33,593
there's some things
you just can't change.
1066
01:23:33,718 --> 01:23:38,848
He didn't want to be called crippled,
just like I didn't want to be called stupid.
1067
01:23:44,354 --> 01:23:46,231
Happy New Year, Gump.
1068
01:23:51,027 --> 01:23:52,404
The US Ping-Pong team
1069
01:23:52,487 --> 01:23:54,781
met with President Nixon today
at an Oval Office ceremony...
1070
01:23:54,864 --> 01:23:57,617
And wouldn't you know it?
A few months later,
1071
01:23:57,701 --> 01:24:01,663
they invited me and the Ping-Pong team
to visit the White House.
1072
01:24:01,746 --> 01:24:03,998
So, I went, again.
1073
01:24:04,833 --> 01:24:08,294
And I met the President
of the United States, again.
1074
01:24:09,045 --> 01:24:12,006
Only, this time, they didn't get us rooms
in a real fancy hotel.
1075
01:24:12,090 --> 01:24:15,468
So, are you enjoying yourself
in our nation's capital, young man?
1076
01:24:15,552 --> 01:24:18,555
- Yes, sir.
- Well, where are you staying?
1077
01:24:18,638 --> 01:24:21,266
- It's called the Hotel Ebbott.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
1078
01:24:21,349 --> 01:24:24,477
I know of a much nicer hotel.
It's brand-new, very modern.
1079
01:24:24,561 --> 01:24:26,563
I'll have my people
take care of it for you.
1080
01:24:27,188 --> 01:24:28,314
Security, Frank Wills.
1081
01:24:28,398 --> 01:24:31,985
Yeah, sir, you might want
to send a maintenance man
1082
01:24:32,068 --> 01:24:34,738
over to that office across the way.
1083
01:24:34,821 --> 01:24:37,699
The lights are off, and they must be
looking for a fuse box or something,
1084
01:24:37,782 --> 01:24:40,493
'cause them flashlights,
they're keeping me awake.
1085
01:24:40,577 --> 01:24:42,203
Okay, sir. I'll check it out.
1086
01:24:42,287 --> 01:24:43,997
- Thank you.
- No problem.
1087
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:45,999
- Good night.
- Good night.
1088
01:24:49,627 --> 01:24:55,008
Therefore, I shall resign the presidency
effective at noon tomorrow.
1089
01:24:55,091 --> 01:24:57,135
Vice President Ford
1090
01:24:57,218 --> 01:25:01,723
will be sworn in as president
at that hour in this office.
1091
01:25:03,099 --> 01:25:07,896
As I recall the high hopes for America
with which we began this second term...
1092
01:25:13,151 --> 01:25:14,694
Sergeant Gump.
1093
01:25:15,195 --> 01:25:17,405
- Yes, sir!
- As you were.
1094
01:25:17,489 --> 01:25:20,617
I have your discharge papers.
Your service is up, son.
1095
01:25:24,037 --> 01:25:26,790
Does this mean
I can't play Ping-Pong no more?
1096
01:25:26,873 --> 01:25:28,833
For the Army it does.
1097
01:25:31,461 --> 01:25:36,341
And just like that, my service
in the United States Army was over.
1098
01:25:41,638 --> 01:25:43,431
So, I went home.
1099
01:26:04,911 --> 01:26:08,331
- I'm home, Mama.
- I know, I know.
1100
01:26:09,958 --> 01:26:11,501
- Louise, he's here.
- Now, when I got home,
1101
01:26:11,584 --> 01:26:15,630
I had no idea,
but Mama had had all sorts of visitors.
1102
01:26:15,755 --> 01:26:18,049
We've had all sorts of visitors, Forrest.
1103
01:26:18,132 --> 01:26:21,219
Everybody wants you
to use their Ping-Pong stuff.
1104
01:26:21,302 --> 01:26:25,098
One man even left a check for $25,000
1105
01:26:25,181 --> 01:26:28,643
if you'd be agreeable to saying
you liked using their paddle.
1106
01:26:28,768 --> 01:26:31,437
Oh, but, Mama,
I only like using my own paddle.
1107
01:26:31,521 --> 01:26:33,523
- Hi, Miss Louise.
- Hey, Forrest.
1108
01:26:33,606 --> 01:26:36,526
I know that. I know that.
1109
01:26:36,609 --> 01:26:39,279
But it's $25,000, Forrest.
1110
01:26:39,362 --> 01:26:44,033
I thought maybe you could hold it
for a while, see if it grows on you.
1111
01:26:44,117 --> 01:26:46,244
- Oh, you look good, Forrest.
- That Mama, she sure was right.
1112
01:26:46,327 --> 01:26:48,830
- You look real good.
- It's funny how things work out.
1113
01:26:48,955 --> 01:26:52,083
I didn't stay home for long,
because I'd made a promise to Bubba,
1114
01:26:52,166 --> 01:26:54,419
and I always try to keep my promise.
1115
01:26:54,502 --> 01:26:56,045
So, I went on down to Bayou La Batre
1116
01:26:56,129 --> 01:26:59,883
to meet Bubba's family
and make their introduction.
1117
01:26:59,966 --> 01:27:03,636
Are you crazy, or just plain stupid?
1118
01:27:04,345 --> 01:27:06,598
Stupid is as stupid does, Mrs. Blue.
1119
01:27:06,681 --> 01:27:08,057
I guess.
1120
01:27:09,058 --> 01:27:12,645
And, of course,
I paid my respect to Bubba himself.
1121
01:27:14,647 --> 01:27:17,191
Hey, Bubba, it's me, Forrest Gump.
1122
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:24,365
I remember everything you said,
and I got it all figured out.
1123
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:33,958
I'm taking the $24,562
and 47 cents that I got...
1124
01:27:35,043 --> 01:27:38,630
Or, that's left after a new hair cut
and a new suit,
1125
01:27:38,713 --> 01:27:40,673
and I took Mama out
to a real fancy dinner,
1126
01:27:40,757 --> 01:27:44,010
and I bought a bus ticket
and three Dr. Peppers.
1127
01:27:44,552 --> 01:27:46,346
Tell me something.
1128
01:27:47,388 --> 01:27:49,515
Are you stupid
or something?
1129
01:27:49,599 --> 01:27:51,643
Stupid is as stupid does, sir.
1130
01:27:51,726 --> 01:27:54,687
Well, that's what's left after me saying,
1131
01:27:55,605 --> 01:27:57,732
"When I was in China
on the All-America Ping-Pong team,
1132
01:27:57,857 --> 01:28:01,653
"I just loved playing Ping-Pong with
my Flex-O-Light Ping-Pong paddle,"
1133
01:28:01,736 --> 01:28:02,987
which everybody knows isn't true,
1134
01:28:03,071 --> 01:28:04,447
but Mama says it's just a little white lie
1135
01:28:04,530 --> 01:28:06,699
so it wouldn't hurt nobody.
1136
01:28:08,117 --> 01:28:14,040
So, anyway, I'm putting all that on gas,
ropes and new nets
1137
01:28:14,791 --> 01:28:16,542
and a brand-new shrimping boat.
1138
01:28:38,231 --> 01:28:41,484
Now, Bubba had told me everything
he knew about shrimping,
1139
01:28:41,567 --> 01:28:43,903
but you know what I found out?
1140
01:28:45,571 --> 01:28:47,907
Shrimping is tough.
1141
01:28:50,118 --> 01:28:51,953
I only caught five.
1142
01:28:52,078 --> 01:28:53,913
A couple more,
you could have yourself a cocktail.
1143
01:28:58,751 --> 01:29:00,503
Hey, you ever think
about naming this old boat?
1144
01:29:00,586 --> 01:29:03,256
It's bad luck
to have a boat without a name.
1145
01:29:05,633 --> 01:29:10,471
I'd never named a boat before,
but there was only one I could think of,
1146
01:29:11,639 --> 01:29:14,851
the most beautiful name
in the wide world.
1147
01:29:35,872 --> 01:29:38,708
Now, I hadn't heard from Jenny
in a long while,
1148
01:29:38,791 --> 01:29:41,335
but I thought about her a lot,
1149
01:29:41,461 --> 01:29:44,922
and I hoped that whatever
she was doing made her happy.
1150
01:31:31,195 --> 01:31:33,739
I thought about Jenny all the time.
1151
01:31:58,389 --> 01:31:59,557
Hey!
1152
01:32:23,414 --> 01:32:28,085
Lieutenant Dan,
what are you doing here?
1153
01:32:28,169 --> 01:32:32,089
Well, thought I'd try out my sea legs.
1154
01:32:32,173 --> 01:32:35,927
But you ain't got no legs,
Lieutenant Dan.
1155
01:32:36,010 --> 01:32:38,304
Yes, I know that.
1156
01:32:38,638 --> 01:32:40,681
You wrote me a letter, you idiot.
1157
01:32:40,806 --> 01:32:45,353
Well, well. Captain Forrest Gump.
I had to see this for myself.
1158
01:32:46,979 --> 01:32:53,861
And I told you if you were ever
a shrimp boat captain
1159
01:32:53,986 --> 01:32:56,572
that I'd be your first mate.
Well, here I am.
1160
01:32:56,656 --> 01:32:59,784
- I am a man of my word.
- Okay.
1161
01:32:59,867 --> 01:33:03,871
Yeah, but don't you be thinking that
I'm going to be calling you "sir."
1162
01:33:03,996 --> 01:33:05,331
No, sir.
1163
01:33:14,215 --> 01:33:16,509
That's my boat.
1164
01:33:19,095 --> 01:33:24,558
I have a feeling if we head
due east, we'll find some shrimp,
1165
01:33:24,684 --> 01:33:26,269
so take a left.
1166
01:33:27,687 --> 01:33:30,606
- Take a left!
- Which way?
1167
01:33:30,690 --> 01:33:33,359
Over there! They're over there!
1168
01:33:34,026 --> 01:33:37,863
- Get on the wheel and take a left!
- Okay.
1169
01:33:39,073 --> 01:33:43,202
Gump, what are you doing?
Take a left! Left!
1170
01:33:45,579 --> 01:33:49,208
That's where we're going
to find those shrimp, my boy!
1171
01:33:50,793 --> 01:33:52,378
That's where we'll find them.
1172
01:34:05,057 --> 01:34:09,186
- Still no shrimp, Lieutenant Dan.
- Okay, so I was wrong.
1173
01:34:09,895 --> 01:34:13,107
How are we going to find them?
1174
01:34:13,232 --> 01:34:15,735
Well, maybe you should
just pray for shrimp.
1175
01:34:22,366 --> 01:34:25,036
So, I went to church every Sunday.
1176
01:34:26,287 --> 01:34:28,289
Sometimes Lieutenant Dan came, too,
1177
01:34:28,414 --> 01:34:31,417
though I think
he left the praying up to me.
1178
01:34:46,891 --> 01:34:51,270
- No shrimp.
- Where the hell's this God of yours?
1179
01:34:52,104 --> 01:34:57,818
It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that,
'cause right then, God showed up.
1180
01:35:14,668 --> 01:35:19,507
- You'll never sink this boat!
- Now, me, I was scared,
1181
01:35:19,632 --> 01:35:22,676
but Lieutenant Dan, he was mad.
1182
01:35:22,802 --> 01:35:24,136
Come on!
1183
01:35:27,264 --> 01:35:32,478
You call this a storm?
Come on, you son of a bitch!
1184
01:35:34,605 --> 01:35:38,984
It's time for a showdown! You and me!
1185
01:35:39,110 --> 01:35:42,988
I'm right here! Come and get me!
1186
01:35:44,782 --> 01:35:48,661
You'll never sink this boat!
1187
01:35:50,704 --> 01:35:52,873
Hurricane Carmen
came through here yesterday,
1188
01:35:52,998 --> 01:35:55,543
destroying nearly everything in its path.
1189
01:35:55,668 --> 01:35:58,170
And as in other towns
up and down the coast,
1190
01:35:58,337 --> 01:36:00,714
Bayou La Batre's
entire shrimping industry
1191
01:36:00,798 --> 01:36:04,677
has fallen victim to Carmen
and has been left in utter ruin.
1192
01:36:04,802 --> 01:36:07,930
Speaking with local officials,
this reporter has learned,
1193
01:36:08,013 --> 01:36:11,475
in fact, only one shrimping boat
actually survived the storm.
1194
01:36:11,851 --> 01:36:14,478
Louise. Louise, there's Forrest.
1195
01:36:15,187 --> 01:36:17,189
After that,
shrimping was easy.
1196
01:36:22,862 --> 01:36:25,990
Since people still needed
them shrimps for shrimp cocktails
1197
01:36:26,073 --> 01:36:30,202
and barbecues and all,
and we were the only boat left standing,
1198
01:36:30,369 --> 01:36:33,622
Bubba-Gump Shrimp's what they got.
1199
01:36:33,706 --> 01:36:38,294
We got a whole bunch of boats,
12 Jennys,
1200
01:36:38,377 --> 01:36:41,881
a big old warehouse. We even have
hats that say "Bubba-Gump" on them.
1201
01:36:42,214 --> 01:36:45,509
Bubba-Gump Shrimp.
It's a household name.
1202
01:36:45,718 --> 01:36:47,428
Hold on there, boy.
1203
01:36:47,553 --> 01:36:52,099
Are you telling me you're the owner of
the Bubba-Gump Shrimp Corporation?
1204
01:36:52,224 --> 01:36:55,227
Yes, sir. We got more money
than Davy Crockett.
1205
01:36:56,854 --> 01:37:00,900
Boy, I heard some whoppers in my time,
but that tops them all.
1206
01:37:03,611 --> 01:37:06,405
We was sitting next to a millionaire.
1207
01:37:09,909 --> 01:37:14,538
Well, I thought it was a very lovely story,
1208
01:37:14,955 --> 01:37:19,585
and you tell it so well,
with such enthusiasm.
1209
01:37:21,295 --> 01:37:23,964
Would you like to see
what Lieutenant Dan looks like?
1210
01:37:24,089 --> 01:37:25,591
Well, yes, I would.
1211
01:37:30,596 --> 01:37:32,640
That's him right there.
1212
01:37:34,975 --> 01:37:37,228
And let me tell you something
about Lieutenant Dan...
1213
01:37:38,395 --> 01:37:39,438
Forrest,
1214
01:37:44,985 --> 01:37:47,780
I never thanked you for saving my life.
1215
01:38:13,806 --> 01:38:20,104
He never actually said so,
but I think he made his peace with God.
1216
01:38:27,778 --> 01:38:29,989
For the second time in 17 days,
1217
01:38:30,114 --> 01:38:33,576
President Ford escaped
possible assassination today.
1218
01:38:33,659 --> 01:38:34,952
Base to Jenny 1.
1219
01:38:35,035 --> 01:38:38,539
- Base to Jenny 1.
- Jenny 1. Go, Margo.
1220
01:38:38,622 --> 01:38:40,124
Forrest has a phone call.
1221
01:38:40,207 --> 01:38:42,710
Yeah, well, you'll have to tell them
to call him back.
1222
01:38:42,793 --> 01:38:46,171
- He is indisposed at the moment.
- His mama's sick.
1223
01:39:06,859 --> 01:39:09,236
- Where's Mama?
- She's upstairs.
1224
01:39:12,072 --> 01:39:14,033
Hi, Forrest.
1225
01:39:14,992 --> 01:39:17,536
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- All right.
1226
01:39:24,209 --> 01:39:27,379
We sure got you straightened out,
didn't we, boy?
1227
01:39:38,724 --> 01:39:42,686
- What's the matter, Mama?
- I'm dying, Forrest.
1228
01:39:46,023 --> 01:39:48,400
Come on in, sit down over here.
1229
01:40:02,748 --> 01:40:06,251
- Why are you dying, Mama?
- It's my time.
1230
01:40:07,252 --> 01:40:09,129
It's just my time.
1231
01:40:10,589 --> 01:40:14,760
Now, don't you be afraid, sweetheart.
1232
01:40:16,387 --> 01:40:18,764
Death is just a part of life,
1233
01:40:19,765 --> 01:40:22,393
something we're all destined to do.
1234
01:40:24,228 --> 01:40:28,607
I didn't know it,
but I was destined to be your mama.
1235
01:40:29,441 --> 01:40:33,028
- I did the best I could.
- You did good, Mama.
1236
01:40:33,821 --> 01:40:38,992
Well, I happen to believe
you make your own destiny.
1237
01:40:40,494 --> 01:40:43,747
You have to do the best
with what God gave you.
1238
01:40:47,626 --> 01:40:49,753
What's my destiny, Mama?
1239
01:40:51,922 --> 01:40:55,134
You're going to have
to figure that out for yourself.
1240
01:40:56,427 --> 01:40:59,388
Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest.
1241
01:40:59,471 --> 01:41:01,640
You never know
what you're going to get.
1242
01:41:01,765 --> 01:41:06,145
Mama always had a way of explaining
things so I could understand them.
1243
01:41:06,228 --> 01:41:08,439
I will miss you, Forrest.
1244
01:41:10,274 --> 01:41:14,319
She had got the cancer
and died on a Tuesday.
1245
01:41:15,821 --> 01:41:19,158
I bought her a new hat
with little flowers on it.
1246
01:41:22,202 --> 01:41:25,497
And that's all I have to say about that.
1247
01:41:32,337 --> 01:41:34,631
Didn't you say you were waiting
for the number seven bus?
1248
01:41:34,715 --> 01:41:37,509
There'll be another one along shortly.
1249
01:41:41,346 --> 01:41:44,933
Now, because I had been a football star,
and a war hero,
1250
01:41:45,017 --> 01:41:48,145
and a national celebrity,
and a shrimping boat captain,
1251
01:41:48,645 --> 01:41:51,857
and a college graduate,
the city fathers of Greenbow, Alabama
1252
01:41:51,982 --> 01:41:55,194
decided to get together
and offered me a fine job.
1253
01:41:56,570 --> 01:42:00,240
So, I never went back to work
for Lieutenant Dan,
1254
01:42:00,365 --> 01:42:03,076
though he did take care
of my Bubba-Gump money.
1255
01:42:03,202 --> 01:42:07,790
He got me invested
in some kind of fruit company.
1256
01:42:07,873 --> 01:42:09,458
And so then, I got a call from him saying
1257
01:42:09,541 --> 01:42:13,003
we don't have to worry about money
no more, and I said,
1258
01:42:13,086 --> 01:42:15,380
"That's good. One less thing."
1259
01:42:18,425 --> 01:42:22,346
Now, Mama said there's only
so much fortune a man really needs,
1260
01:42:23,096 --> 01:42:25,933
and the rest is just for showing off.
1261
01:42:26,016 --> 01:42:29,895
So, I gave a whole bunch of it
to the Foursquare gospel church,
1262
01:42:32,356 --> 01:42:36,527
and I gave a whole bunch to the
Bayou La Batre fishing hospital.
1263
01:42:39,404 --> 01:42:43,951
And even though Bubba was dead
and Lieutenant Dan said I was nuts,
1264
01:42:44,076 --> 01:42:46,703
I gave Bubba's mama Bubba's share.
1265
01:42:50,916 --> 01:42:52,626
You know what?
1266
01:42:53,877 --> 01:42:56,880
She didn't have to work
in nobody's kitchen no more.
1267
01:42:56,964 --> 01:42:58,590
That smells wonderful.
1268
01:42:59,424 --> 01:43:03,345
And 'cause I was a gazillionaire
and I liked doing it so much,
1269
01:43:03,428 --> 01:43:05,764
I cut that grass for free.
1270
01:43:09,560 --> 01:43:12,437
But at night time
when there was nothing to do
1271
01:43:12,521 --> 01:43:14,898
and the house was all empty,
1272
01:43:15,899 --> 01:43:18,277
I'd always think of Jenny.
1273
01:44:21,965 --> 01:44:25,135
And then, she was there.
1274
01:44:58,126 --> 01:45:01,296
- Hello, Forrest.
- Hello, Jenny.
1275
01:45:12,849 --> 01:45:15,477
Jenny came back and stayed with me.
1276
01:45:17,062 --> 01:45:20,732
Maybe it was because
she had nowhere else to go,
1277
01:45:20,857 --> 01:45:24,569
or maybe it was because she was
so tired, 'cause she went to bed
1278
01:45:24,695 --> 01:45:28,657
and slept and slept,
like she hadn't slept in years.
1279
01:45:29,908 --> 01:45:32,202
It was wonderful having her home.
1280
01:45:33,537 --> 01:45:38,667
Every day we'd take a walk and
I'd jabber on like a monkey in a tree,
1281
01:45:38,750 --> 01:45:41,294
and she'd listen about Ping-Ponging,
and shrimping,
1282
01:45:41,378 --> 01:45:45,674
and Mama making a trip up to heaven.
I did all the talking.
1283
01:45:45,757 --> 01:45:49,094
Jenny most of the time was real quiet.
1284
01:46:29,259 --> 01:46:32,471
How could you do this?
1285
01:47:09,424 --> 01:47:12,761
Sometimes I guess there
just aren't enough rocks.
1286
01:47:14,971 --> 01:47:19,476
I never really knew why she came back,
but I didn't care.
1287
01:47:19,643 --> 01:47:23,939
It was like olden times.
We was like peas and carrots again.
1288
01:47:26,024 --> 01:47:30,362
Every day, I'd pick pretty flowers
and put them in her room for her,
1289
01:47:31,863 --> 01:47:35,450
and she gave me the best gift anyone
could ever get in the wide world.
1290
01:47:35,534 --> 01:47:38,370
- New shoes.
- They make them just for running.
1291
01:47:43,375 --> 01:47:46,670
And she even showed me how to dance.
1292
01:47:54,845 --> 01:47:59,057
And, well, we was like family,
Jenny and me.
1293
01:48:02,811 --> 01:48:05,730
And it was the happiest time in my life.
1294
01:48:25,375 --> 01:48:27,169
... and this Fourth is
witnessing one of the
1295
01:48:27,252 --> 01:48:30,255
largest fireworks displays
in the nation's...
1296
01:48:30,338 --> 01:48:33,258
- You done watching it?
- ...here in New York Harbor...
1297
01:48:33,383 --> 01:48:35,177
- I'm going to bed.
- ...with a spectacular display
1298
01:48:35,260 --> 01:48:38,305
Of tall ships earlier.
The Statue of Liberty...
1299
01:48:45,353 --> 01:48:47,355
Will you marry me?
1300
01:48:52,277 --> 01:48:55,238
I'd make a good husband, Jenny.
1301
01:48:57,908 --> 01:48:59,951
You would, Forrest.
1302
01:49:01,786 --> 01:49:04,122
But you won't marry me.
1303
01:49:06,416 --> 01:49:08,627
You don't want to marry me.
1304
01:49:12,214 --> 01:49:14,633
Why don't you love me, Jenny?
1305
01:49:19,638 --> 01:49:21,765
I'm not a smart man,
1306
01:49:23,475 --> 01:49:25,894
but I know what love is.
1307
01:50:02,931 --> 01:50:04,182
Jenny.
1308
01:50:06,101 --> 01:50:08,603
Forrest, I do love you.
1309
01:51:01,740 --> 01:51:05,410
- Where are you running off to?
- I'm not running.
1310
01:52:37,001 --> 01:52:42,340
That day, for no particular reason,
I decided to go for a little run.
1311
01:52:43,508 --> 01:52:47,929
So, I ran to the end of the road,
and when I got there,
1312
01:52:48,012 --> 01:52:49,764
I thought maybe I'd run
to the end of town.
1313
01:52:49,848 --> 01:52:51,015
President Carter, suffering
1314
01:52:51,099 --> 01:52:53,101
from heat exhaustion,
fell into the arms of...
1315
01:52:53,184 --> 01:52:54,853
And when I got there,
1316
01:52:54,936 --> 01:52:59,107
I thought maybe I'd just
run across Greenbow County.
1317
01:52:59,190 --> 01:53:01,609
And I figured since I'd run this far,
1318
01:53:01,693 --> 01:53:04,946
maybe I'd just run across
the great state of Alabama.
1319
01:53:05,029 --> 01:53:06,239
And that's what I did.
1320
01:53:06,865 --> 01:53:09,451
I ran clear across Alabama.
1321
01:53:09,701 --> 01:53:12,871
For no particular reason,
I just kept on going.
1322
01:53:14,205 --> 01:53:15,790
I ran clear to the ocean.
1323
01:53:21,671 --> 01:53:24,841
And when I got there,
I figured since I'd gone this far,
1324
01:53:25,383 --> 01:53:28,219
might as well turn around
and just keep on going.
1325
01:53:31,973 --> 01:53:36,561
And when I got to another ocean,
I figured since I'd gone this far,
1326
01:53:38,354 --> 01:53:42,066
I might as well just turn back
and keep right on going.
1327
01:53:43,234 --> 01:53:48,072
When I got tired, I slept.
When I got hungry, I ate.
1328
01:53:48,156 --> 01:53:51,201
When I had to go, you know...
1329
01:53:52,827 --> 01:53:53,995
I went.
1330
01:53:54,078 --> 01:53:57,081
And so, you just ran.
1331
01:53:58,833 --> 01:53:59,918
Yeah.
1332
01:54:35,203 --> 01:54:40,458
I'd think a lot about Mama
and Bubba and Lieutenant Dan.
1333
01:54:41,459 --> 01:54:44,963
But most of all, I thought about Jenny.
1334
01:54:46,047 --> 01:54:48,216
I thought about her a lot.
1335
01:54:48,967 --> 01:54:52,053
For more than two years now,
a man named Forrest Gump,
1336
01:54:52,136 --> 01:54:55,557
a gardener from Greenbow, Alabama,
stopping only to sleep,
1337
01:54:55,640 --> 01:54:57,809
has been running across America.
1338
01:54:57,892 --> 01:54:59,894
Charles Cooper brings us this report.
1339
01:55:00,812 --> 01:55:03,231
For the fourth time
on his journey across America,
1340
01:55:03,314 --> 01:55:06,150
Forrest Gump,
the gardener from Greenbow, Alabama,
1341
01:55:06,276 --> 01:55:09,153
is about to cross
the Mississippi River again today.
1342
01:55:09,779 --> 01:55:11,823
- I'll be damned. Forrest?
- Sir, why are you running?
1343
01:55:11,906 --> 01:55:12,991
Why are you running?
1344
01:55:13,074 --> 01:55:14,659
Are you doing this for world peace?
1345
01:55:14,742 --> 01:55:16,077
Are you doing this for the homeless?
1346
01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:19,163
- Are you running for women's rights?
- Or for the environment?
1347
01:55:19,247 --> 01:55:20,248
Or for animals?
1348
01:55:20,331 --> 01:55:23,251
They just couldn't believe
that somebody would do all that running
1349
01:55:23,334 --> 01:55:24,711
for no particular reason.
1350
01:55:24,794 --> 01:55:26,754
Why are you doing this?
1351
01:55:26,838 --> 01:55:29,340
I just felt like running.
1352
01:55:29,465 --> 01:55:31,843
I just felt like running.
1353
01:55:31,968 --> 01:55:35,179
It's you. I can't believe it's really you.
1354
01:55:36,014 --> 01:55:41,144
Now, for some reason, what I was doing
seemed to make sense to people.
1355
01:55:41,311 --> 01:55:43,438
I mean, it was like an alarm
went off in my head, you know?
1356
01:55:43,521 --> 01:55:45,356
I said,
"Here's a guy that's got his act together.
1357
01:55:45,481 --> 01:55:47,442
"Here's somebody
who's got it all figured out.
1358
01:55:47,525 --> 01:55:51,613
"Here's somebody who has the answer."
I'll follow you anywhere, Mr. Gump.
1359
01:55:51,696 --> 01:55:53,531
So, I got company.
1360
01:55:55,366 --> 01:56:01,205
And after that, I got more company.
And then, even more people joined in.
1361
01:56:03,666 --> 01:56:06,878
Somebody later told me
it gave people hope.
1362
01:56:08,671 --> 01:56:12,050
Now... Now, I don't know
anything about that,
1363
01:56:12,884 --> 01:56:15,470
but some of those people
asked me if I could help them out.
1364
01:56:15,678 --> 01:56:18,931
Hey, man, hey, listen, I was wondering
if you might help me, huh?
1365
01:56:19,015 --> 01:56:20,767
Listen, I'm in the
bumper sticker business
1366
01:56:20,850 --> 01:56:22,602
and I've been trying
to think up a good slogan.
1367
01:56:22,685 --> 01:56:25,813
And since you have been such a big
inspiration to the people around here,
1368
01:56:25,897 --> 01:56:27,815
I thought you might
be able to help me jump into...
1369
01:56:27,899 --> 01:56:31,527
Whoa, man! You just ran through
a big pile of dog shit!
1370
01:56:33,071 --> 01:56:35,740
- It happens.
- What, shit?
1371
01:56:37,241 --> 01:56:39,202
Sometimes.
1372
01:56:41,079 --> 01:56:43,748
And some years later,
I heard that that fellow
1373
01:56:43,831 --> 01:56:45,667
did come up with
a bumper sticker slogan,
1374
01:56:45,750 --> 01:56:48,753
and he made a lot of money off of it.
1375
01:56:50,213 --> 01:56:52,423
Another time, I was running along,
1376
01:56:52,548 --> 01:56:55,843
somebody who had lost all his money
in the T-shirt business,
1377
01:56:55,927 --> 01:56:57,970
he wanted to put my face on a T-shirt,
1378
01:56:58,054 --> 01:57:01,015
but he couldn't draw that well,
and he didn't have a camera.
1379
01:57:01,099 --> 01:57:04,602
Here, use this one.
Nobody likes that color anyway.
1380
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:11,109
Have a nice day.
1381
01:57:12,735 --> 01:57:13,861
Well, some years later,
1382
01:57:13,945 --> 01:57:17,865
I found out that that man
did come up with an idea for a T-shirt.
1383
01:57:17,949 --> 01:57:20,326
He made a lot of money off of it.
1384
01:57:23,121 --> 01:57:27,542
Anyway, like I was saying,
I had a lot of company.
1385
01:57:28,793 --> 01:57:29,961
My mama always said,
1386
01:57:30,044 --> 01:57:34,465
"You got to put the past behind you
before you can move on."
1387
01:57:36,134 --> 01:57:39,470
And I think that's what
my running was all about.
1388
01:57:40,304 --> 01:57:44,308
I had run for three years, two months,
1389
01:57:44,559 --> 01:57:46,894
14 days and 16 hours.
1390
01:58:02,577 --> 01:58:04,912
Quiet. Quiet.
He's going to say something.
1391
01:58:16,340 --> 01:58:18,092
I'm pretty tired.
1392
01:58:20,928 --> 01:58:22,972
Think I'll go home now.
1393
01:58:41,532 --> 01:58:43,993
Now what are we supposed to do?
1394
01:58:44,952 --> 01:58:49,207
And just like that,
my running days was over.
1395
01:58:51,167 --> 01:58:52,919
So, I went home to Alabama.
1396
01:58:53,711 --> 01:58:57,590
Moments ago, at 2:25 p.m.,
as President Reagan was leaving the...
1397
01:58:59,634 --> 01:59:03,805
...five or six gunshots were fired
by an unknown would-be assassin.
1398
01:59:04,305 --> 01:59:06,641
The President was shot in the chest,
and the assailant...
1399
01:59:06,724 --> 01:59:08,684
I picked up the mail.
1400
01:59:09,477 --> 01:59:13,314
And one day, out of the blue clear sky,
I got a letter from Jenny,
1401
01:59:13,397 --> 01:59:17,652
wondering if I could come down
to Savannah and see her,
1402
01:59:17,735 --> 01:59:20,321
and that's what I'm doing here.
1403
01:59:20,404 --> 01:59:22,990
She saw me on TV, running.
1404
01:59:23,074 --> 01:59:27,328
I'm supposed to go on the
number nine bus to Richmond Street
1405
01:59:27,411 --> 01:59:34,335
and get off and go one block left
to 1947 Henry Street, Apartment 4.
1406
01:59:34,418 --> 01:59:38,089
Why, you don't need to take a bus.
1407
01:59:38,214 --> 01:59:42,760
Henry Street is just five
or six blocks down that way.
1408
01:59:44,595 --> 01:59:46,931
- Down that way?
- Down that way.
1409
01:59:49,934 --> 01:59:51,853
It was nice talking to you.
1410
01:59:53,145 --> 01:59:55,773
I hope everything works out for you!
1411
02:00:03,281 --> 02:00:04,949
Hey!
1412
02:00:05,366 --> 02:00:07,034
Forrest!
1413
02:00:07,285 --> 02:00:10,538
How you doing? Come in, come in!
1414
02:00:10,621 --> 02:00:11,831
I got your letter.
1415
02:00:11,914 --> 02:00:14,542
I was wondering about that.
1416
02:00:16,085 --> 02:00:17,879
Is this your house?
1417
02:00:17,962 --> 02:00:21,048
Yeah. It's messy right now.
I just got off work.
1418
02:00:21,132 --> 02:00:24,844
It's nice. You got air conditioning.
1419
02:00:31,726 --> 02:00:33,769
- Thank you.
- I ate some.
1420
02:00:36,564 --> 02:00:41,986
Hey, I kept a scrapbook
of your clippings and everything.
1421
02:00:42,111 --> 02:00:43,738
There you are.
1422
02:00:45,323 --> 02:00:46,699
And this, I got you running.
1423
02:00:49,660 --> 02:00:51,829
I ran a long way,
1424
02:00:52,330 --> 02:00:54,165
for a long time.
1425
02:00:56,375 --> 02:00:57,877
And there...
1426
02:01:04,383 --> 02:01:07,845
Listen, Forrest,
I don't know how to say this.
1427
02:01:10,348 --> 02:01:14,685
I just I want to apologize
for anything that I ever did to you,
1428
02:01:14,810 --> 02:01:20,066
'cause I was messed up
for a long time, and...
1429
02:01:21,734 --> 02:01:22,735
Yoo-hoo!
1430
02:01:22,860 --> 02:01:24,487
- Hey.
- Hi.
1431
02:01:24,695 --> 02:01:25,696
Hey, you.
1432
02:01:26,864 --> 02:01:29,825
- This is an old friend from Alabama.
- How do you do?
1433
02:01:29,909 --> 02:01:32,995
Listen, next week my schedule
changes, so I'll be able to... But thanks...
1434
02:01:33,079 --> 02:01:35,122
No problem. Got to go, Jen,
I'm double-parked.
1435
02:01:35,206 --> 02:01:37,083
- Okay. Thanks.
- Bye.
1436
02:01:40,544 --> 02:01:43,297
This is my very good friend, Mr. Gump.
Can you say hi to him?
1437
02:01:43,381 --> 02:01:46,467
- Hello, Mr. Gump.
- Hello.
1438
02:01:46,550 --> 02:01:49,553
- Can I go watch TV now?
- Yes, you can. Just keep it low.
1439
02:01:52,390 --> 02:01:55,726
- You're a mama, Jenny.
- I'm a mama.
1440
02:01:58,604 --> 02:02:00,439
His name's Forrest.
1441
02:02:01,565 --> 02:02:02,900
Like me.
1442
02:02:04,527 --> 02:02:06,654
I named him after his daddy.
1443
02:02:07,613 --> 02:02:10,074
He got a daddy named Forrest, too?
1444
02:02:11,367 --> 02:02:13,411
You're his daddy, Forrest.
1445
02:02:27,883 --> 02:02:29,093
Hey.
1446
02:02:30,261 --> 02:02:33,139
Forrest, look at me. Look at me, Forrest.
1447
02:02:35,725 --> 02:02:39,854
There's nothing you need to do, okay?
You didn't do anything wrong.
1448
02:02:40,396 --> 02:02:41,772
Okay?
1449
02:02:46,110 --> 02:02:47,987
Isn't he beautiful?
1450
02:02:48,988 --> 02:02:51,949
He's the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen.
1451
02:02:55,745 --> 02:02:56,829
But...
1452
02:03:00,499 --> 02:03:03,377
Is he smart, or...
1453
02:03:03,461 --> 02:03:07,465
He's very smart.
He's one of the smartest in his class.
1454
02:03:16,807 --> 02:03:19,268
Yeah, it's okay. Go talk to him.
1455
02:03:28,611 --> 02:03:31,447
- What are you watching?
- Bert and Ernie.
1456
02:03:54,553 --> 02:03:56,347
Forrest,
1457
02:03:57,807 --> 02:03:59,350
I'm sick.
1458
02:04:02,019 --> 02:04:05,648
What, do you have
a cough due to a cold?
1459
02:04:05,731 --> 02:04:08,109
I have some kind of virus,
1460
02:04:08,192 --> 02:04:10,903
and the doctors don't...
They don't know what it is,
1461
02:04:11,028 --> 02:04:14,031
and there isn't anything
they can do about it.
1462
02:04:18,410 --> 02:04:20,704
You could come home with me.
1463
02:04:22,373 --> 02:04:28,045
Jenny, you and little Forrest could
come stay at my house in Greenbow.
1464
02:04:32,383 --> 02:04:35,177
I'll take care of you if you're sick.
1465
02:04:37,555 --> 02:04:39,849
Would you marry me, Forrest?
1466
02:04:45,104 --> 02:04:46,355
Okay.
1467
02:04:47,398 --> 02:04:49,066
Please take your seats.
1468
02:04:52,903 --> 02:04:55,239
Forrest? It's time to start.
1469
02:05:14,633 --> 02:05:16,218
Hi.
1470
02:05:17,094 --> 02:05:18,596
Your tie.
1471
02:05:31,150 --> 02:05:32,776
Lieutenant Dan.
1472
02:05:48,125 --> 02:05:50,085
Lieutenant Dan.
1473
02:05:50,920 --> 02:05:52,588
Hello, Forrest.
1474
02:05:53,255 --> 02:05:55,925
You got new legs. New legs!
1475
02:05:57,134 --> 02:06:00,930
Yeah. I got new legs. Custom-made.
1476
02:06:01,639 --> 02:06:05,643
Titanium alloy.
It's what they use on the space shuttle.
1477
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:10,981
Magic legs.
1478
02:06:12,983 --> 02:06:17,363
This is my fiancée, Susan.
1479
02:06:20,157 --> 02:06:23,535
- Lieutenant Dan.
- Hi, Forrest.
1480
02:06:25,621 --> 02:06:28,832
Lieutenant Dan, this is my Jenny.
1481
02:06:29,208 --> 02:06:32,211
Hey. It's nice to meet you finally.
1482
02:06:42,346 --> 02:06:46,517
Do you, Forrest,
take Jenny to be your wife?
1483
02:06:48,394 --> 02:06:52,648
Do you, Jenny,
take Forrest to be your husband?
1484
02:06:53,983 --> 02:06:57,361
And so I pronounce you man and wife.
1485
02:07:28,225 --> 02:07:30,102
- Hey.
- Hey.
1486
02:07:43,782 --> 02:07:45,576
Hey, Forrest.
1487
02:07:50,914 --> 02:07:52,708
Were you scared in Vietnam?
1488
02:07:54,376 --> 02:07:56,712
Yes. Well, I...
1489
02:07:58,047 --> 02:07:59,757
I don't know.
1490
02:08:00,466 --> 02:08:05,429
Sometimes it would stop raining long
enough for the stars to come out.
1491
02:08:08,557 --> 02:08:10,601
And then it was nice.
1492
02:08:13,979 --> 02:08:17,941
It was like just before the sun
goes to bed down on the bayou.
1493
02:08:19,234 --> 02:08:23,113
There was always
a million sparkles on the water.
1494
02:08:24,907 --> 02:08:28,827
Like that mountain lake.
It was so clear, Jenny,
1495
02:08:28,952 --> 02:08:33,540
it looked like there were two skies,
one on top of the other.
1496
02:08:36,085 --> 02:08:39,129
And then, in the desert,
when the sun comes up,
1497
02:08:41,590 --> 02:08:45,761
I couldn't tell where heaven stopped
1498
02:08:46,303 --> 02:08:48,680
and the earth began.
1499
02:08:49,932 --> 02:08:51,809
It was so beautiful.
1500
02:08:56,522 --> 02:08:59,608
I wish I could've been there with you.
1501
02:09:02,694 --> 02:09:04,113
You were.
1502
02:09:14,832 --> 02:09:16,291
I love you.
1503
02:09:20,671 --> 02:09:24,007
You died on a Saturday morning.
1504
02:09:25,717 --> 02:09:29,471
And I had you placed
here under our tree.
1505
02:09:34,351 --> 02:09:39,189
And I had that house of your father's
bulldozed to the ground.
1506
02:09:43,318 --> 02:09:44,987
Mama
1507
02:09:46,071 --> 02:09:51,076
always said that dying was a part of life.
1508
02:09:54,496 --> 02:09:56,832
I sure wish it wasn't.
1509
02:09:59,501 --> 02:10:03,255
Little Forrest is doing just fine.
1510
02:10:04,590 --> 02:10:05,674
But...
1511
02:10:05,924 --> 02:10:08,594
About to start school again soon,
1512
02:10:10,429 --> 02:10:14,224
and I make his breakfast, lunch
and dinner every day.
1513
02:10:16,393 --> 02:10:22,399
I make sure he combs his hair
and brushes his teeth every day.
1514
02:10:25,527 --> 02:10:28,113
Teaching him how to play Ping-Pong.
1515
02:10:29,406 --> 02:10:30,449
Okay.
1516
02:10:30,699 --> 02:10:31,867
He's really good.
1517
02:10:31,950 --> 02:10:34,077
Forrest, you go.
1518
02:10:38,290 --> 02:10:39,875
We fish a lot.
1519
02:10:43,420 --> 02:10:46,882
And every night, we read
a book. He's so smart, Jenny.
1520
02:10:50,135 --> 02:10:52,387
You'd be so proud of him.
1521
02:10:54,097 --> 02:10:55,557
I am.
1522
02:10:56,600 --> 02:10:59,811
He wrote you a letter.
1523
02:11:01,396 --> 02:11:03,440
And he says I can't read it.
1524
02:11:03,565 --> 02:11:07,110
I'm not supposed to,
so I'll just leave it here for you.
1525
02:11:23,168 --> 02:11:24,503
Jenny,
1526
02:11:30,300 --> 02:11:33,512
I don't know if Mama was right,
1527
02:11:34,846 --> 02:11:36,348
or if it's Lieutenant Dan.
1528
02:11:36,473 --> 02:11:39,059
I don't know
1529
02:11:39,142 --> 02:11:43,647
if we each have a destiny,
1530
02:11:45,691 --> 02:11:50,821
or if we're all just floating around
accidental-like on a breeze.
1531
02:11:55,325 --> 02:11:57,160
But I think
1532
02:11:59,037 --> 02:12:00,831
maybe it's both.
1533
02:12:05,168 --> 02:12:08,046
Maybe both is happening
at the same time.
1534
02:12:14,177 --> 02:12:16,179
But I miss you, Jenny.
1535
02:12:22,561 --> 02:12:26,982
If there's anything you need,
I won't be far away.
1536
02:13:02,267 --> 02:13:05,228
Here's your bus. Okay.
1537
02:13:06,897 --> 02:13:10,233
Hey. I know this.
1538
02:13:10,359 --> 02:13:13,236
I'm gonna show that
for show-and-tell because
1539
02:13:13,362 --> 02:13:16,031
Grandma used to read it to you.
1540
02:13:16,114 --> 02:13:18,241
My favorite book.
1541
02:13:21,578 --> 02:13:23,080
Here we are.
1542
02:13:23,246 --> 02:13:24,706
Okay.
1543
02:13:26,416 --> 02:13:27,918
Here you go.
1544
02:13:32,798 --> 02:13:35,300
Hey, Forrest, don't...
1545
02:13:38,762 --> 02:13:42,474
- I wanted to tell you, I love you.
- I love you, too, Daddy.
1546
02:13:44,476 --> 02:13:47,270
I'll be right here when you get back.
1547
02:13:51,817 --> 02:13:55,070
You understand this is
the bus to school, now, don't you?
1548
02:13:55,153 --> 02:13:58,699
Of course, and you are Dorothy Harris,
and I'm Forrest Gump.
