Forrest Gump

en
00:03:17 Hello.
00:03:27 Do you want a chocolate?
00:03:32 I could eat
00:03:36 My mama always said
00:03:44 You never know
00:03:54 Those must be comfortable shoes.
00:03:57 I bet you could walk all day in shoes
00:04:04 - I wish I had shoes like that.
00:04:10 Mama always said there's an awful lot
00:04:13 you can tell about a person
00:04:16 Where they're going,
00:04:27 I've worn lots of shoes.
00:04:31 I bet if I think about it real hard,
00:04:34 I could remember
00:04:39 Mama said they'd take me anywhere.
00:04:43 She said they was my magic shoes.
00:04:46 All right, Forrest,
00:04:56 Let's take a little walk around.
00:05:05 How do those feel?
00:05:10 His legs are strong, Mrs Gump,
00:05:15 But his back's as
00:05:19 But we're going to straighten him
00:05:25 When I was a baby, Mama named me
00:05:29 General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
00:05:32 She said we was related to him
00:05:35 What he did was he started up
00:05:40 They'd all dress up
00:05:44 and act like a bunch
00:05:48 They'd even put bed sheets
00:05:52 And anyway, that's how
00:05:56 Mama said the Forrest part
00:06:00 we all do things that, well,
00:06:14 This way. Hold on.
00:06:17 All right.
00:06:21 Haven't you ever seen a little boy
00:06:27 Don't ever let anybody tell you
00:06:31 If God wanted everybody
00:06:33 he'd have given us all
00:06:36 Mama always had a way of explaining
00:06:41 We lived about
00:06:45 about a half mile
00:06:48 That's in the county of Greenbow.
00:06:51 Our house had been in Mama's family
00:06:55 had come across the ocean
00:06:59 Since it was just me and Mama
00:07:03 Mama decided to let those rooms out,
00:07:08 like from Mobile,
00:07:11 That's how me and Mama got money.
00:07:17 Remember what I told you, Forrest.
00:07:19 You're no different
00:07:24 Did you hear what I said, Forrest?
00:07:29 You are no different.
00:07:32 Your boy's different, Mrs Gump.
00:07:38 Well, we're all different,
00:07:46 She wanted me to have
00:07:49 so she took me to
00:07:52 I met the principal and all.
00:07:55 I want to show you
00:07:58 Now, this is normal.
00:08:05 The state requires a minimum I.Q.
00:08:10 Mrs Gump, he's going to have
00:08:15 - He'll be just fine.
00:08:19 He might be a bit on the slow side,
00:08:25 will get the same opportunities
00:08:28 He's not going to some special school
00:08:32 We're talking about
00:08:37 There must be something can be done.
00:08:42 We're a progressive school system.
00:08:45 We don't want to see
00:08:48 Is there a Mr Gump, Mrs Gump?
00:08:55 He's on vacation.
00:09:14 Your mama sure does care
00:09:24 You don't say much, do you?
00:09:38 "Finally, he had to try.
00:09:43 "Oh, what happened. First they..."
00:09:46 - Mama, what's vacation mean?
00:09:50 Where daddy went?
00:09:55 Vacation's when you go somewhere...
00:10:05 Anyway, I guess you could say
00:10:10 But we didn't mind.
00:10:15 There was always
00:10:18 - Supper! It's supper, everyone!
00:10:22 Sometimes, we had so many people
00:10:25 that every room was filled,
00:10:28 folks living out of their suitcases
00:10:34 Forrest Gump,
00:10:39 One time, a young man was staying
00:10:58 Forrest, I told you not to bother
00:11:02 No, that's all right, ma'am.
00:11:04 I was showing him
00:11:07 All right. Supper's ready
00:11:10 Yeah, that sounds good.
00:11:13 Say, show me that crazy little walk
00:11:21 I liked that guitar. It sounded good.
00:11:26 I started moving around to the music,
00:11:35 This one night,
00:11:39 and we walked by Benson's furniture
00:11:56 This is not for children's eyes.
00:12:01 Some years later, that handsome
00:12:05 well, he sung too many songs.
00:12:08 Had himself a heart attack
00:12:11 It must be hard being a king.
00:12:18 It's funny how you remember some
00:12:22 - You do your very best now, Forrest.
00:12:27 I remember the bus ride
00:12:35 Are you coming along?
00:12:37 Mama said not to take rides
00:12:41 This is the bus to school.
00:12:46 - I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.
00:12:51 Well, now we ain't strangers anymore.
00:13:06 This seat's taken.
00:13:10 It's taken.
00:13:20 You can't sit here.
00:13:24 You know, it's funny what
00:13:28 'cause I don't remember being born.
00:13:30 I don't recall what I got
00:13:34 and I don't know when I went
00:13:37 but I do remember
00:13:41 the sweetest voice in the wide world.
00:13:45 You can sit here if you want.
00:13:50 I had never seen anything
00:13:55 She was like an angel.
00:13:57 Well, are you going
00:14:05 What's wrong with your legs?
00:14:07 Nothing at all, thank you.
00:14:12 I just sat next to her on that bus
00:14:15 and had a conversation
00:14:18 My back's crooked
00:14:20 Next to Mama, no one ever talked
00:14:25 Are you stupid or something?
00:14:28 Mama says,
00:14:31 - I'm Jenny.
00:14:37 From that day on,
00:14:39 Jenny and me
00:14:45 She taught me how to climb.
00:14:47 Come on, Forrest, you can do it.
00:14:50 I showed her how to dangle.
00:14:54 She helped me learn how to read,
00:15:01 Sometimes, we'd just sit out
00:15:06 - Mama's going to worry about me.
00:15:11 For some reason,
00:15:15 OK, Jenny, I'll stay.
00:15:18 She was my most special friend.
00:15:25 My only friend.
00:15:29 My Mama always told me
00:15:33 Some people don't think so,
00:15:39 Hey, dummy!
00:15:42 Are you retarded,
00:15:45 - Look, I'm Forrest Gimp.
00:15:49 Run, Forrest! Run away! Hurry!
00:15:53 - Get the bikes!
00:15:56 Look out, dummy!
00:16:01 Run, Forrest, run! Run, Forrest!
00:16:07 Come back here, you!
00:16:22 Run, Forrest! Run!
00:16:57 You wouldn't
00:17:01 but I can run like the wind blows.
00:17:07 From that day on, if I was
00:17:46 That boy sure is a running fool.
00:17:53 Remember how I told you that Jenny
00:17:57 She lived in a house
00:18:01 Her mama had gone to heaven
00:18:03 and her daddy was
00:18:08 Jenny?
00:18:10 He was a very loving man.
00:18:12 He was always kissing
00:18:18 And then this one time, Jenny
00:18:23 Jenny,
00:18:27 Daddy's taking a nap.
00:18:30 Come on!
00:18:32 Jenny, where'd you run to?
00:18:40 Where you at?
00:18:45 Jenny! Jenny, where you at?
00:18:52 Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me.
00:18:57 Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly
00:19:02 Dear God, make me a bird
00:19:07 Mama always said God is mysterious.
00:19:12 He didn't turn Jenny
00:19:14 Instead, he had the police say
00:19:18 Jenny didn't have to stay
00:19:22 She was to live with her grandma,
00:19:26 which made me happy,
00:19:32 Some nights, Jenny'd sneak out
00:19:37 just 'cause she said she was scared.
00:19:43 But I think it was her grandma's dog.
00:19:49 Anyway, Jenny and me was best friends
00:19:55 - Hey, stupid!
00:19:58 Run, Forrest, run!
00:19:59 - Didn't you hear me, stupid?
00:20:04 Get in the truck!
00:20:09 Run, Forrest! Run!
00:20:39 Run, Forrest!
00:20:44 Now, it used to be
00:20:48 I never thought
00:21:20 Who in the hell is that?
00:21:22 That is Forrest Gump, coach.
00:21:27 And can you believe it?
00:21:38 - Forrest, move it! Run!
00:21:42 - Run!
00:21:59 Run, son of a bitch, run! Go! Run!
00:22:18 He must be the stupidest son of
00:22:26 Now, maybe it's just me,
00:22:33 Federal troops,
00:22:35 integrated
00:22:37 Two Negroes were admitted,
00:22:39 but only after Governor George
00:22:42 his symbolic threat
00:22:48 Earl, what's going on?
00:22:50 Coons are trying to get into school.
00:22:53 Coons? When racoons
00:22:56 Mama just chased them off
00:22:58 Not racoons, you idiot. Niggers.
00:23:03 With us? They do?
00:23:05 Shortly after Governor Wallace
00:23:07 had carried out his promise
00:23:10 President Kennedy
00:23:12 to use military force.
00:23:14 Here, by videotape,
00:23:17 commander of the national guard,
00:23:20 Because these national guardsmen
00:23:24 as federal soldiers for Alabama,
00:23:28 They are our brothers.
00:23:33 because we are awakening
00:23:37 that we have spoken about
00:23:42 a trend toward military
00:23:49 And so, at day's end,
00:23:50 the University of Alabama
00:23:54 and students Jimmy Hood
00:23:58 had been signed up
00:24:03 Ma'am, you dropped your book. Ma'am.
00:24:07 Governor Wallace
00:24:09 By being on the Tuscaloosa campus,
00:24:12 - Say, wasn't that Gump?
00:24:16 It sure as hell was.
00:24:22 A few years later, that angry
00:24:27 thought it'd be a good idea
00:24:33 But somebody thought that it wasn't.
00:24:44 - My bus is here.
00:24:48 - No, it's the number four.
00:24:55 I remember when that happened, when
00:25:02 Did you go to a girls college
00:25:05 It was coed.
00:25:07 Jenny went to a college I couldn't go
00:25:11 But I'd go and visit her
00:25:45 That hurts.
00:26:02 Forrest, stop it! Stop it!
00:26:07 - He was hurting you.
00:26:12 - Billy, I'm sorry.
00:26:15 Don't be such a... Don't go.
00:26:19 He doesn't know any better.
00:26:23 Forrest, why'd you do that?
00:26:28 I brought you some chocolate.
00:26:36 I'll go back to my college now.
00:26:43 Look at you.
00:26:46 Come on. Come on.
00:26:56 Is this your own room?
00:27:02 Do you ever dream, Forrest,
00:27:09 Who I'm going to be?
00:27:14 You'll always be you,
00:27:17 You know? I want to be famous.
00:27:22 I want to be a singer
00:27:26 I just want to be on an empty stage
00:27:32 Just me.
00:27:36 And I want to reach people
00:27:42 I want to be able to say things,
00:27:53 Have you ever been with a girl,
00:27:57 I sit next to them in my home
00:28:30 I'm sorry.
00:28:32 - It's OK.
00:28:41 It's all right.
00:28:46 - It's OK.
00:28:57 I'll bet that never
00:29:04 No.
00:29:11 I think I ruined
00:29:15 I don't care.
00:29:33 College ran by real fast
00:29:37 They even put me on a thing
00:29:41 where you get to meet the President
00:29:45 President Kennedy met with the
00:29:48 at the Oval Office today.
00:29:50 The really good thing about meeting
00:29:55 is the food.
00:29:58 with just about anything
00:30:02 But since, number one,
00:30:05 and number two, they was free, I must
00:30:15 How does it feel
00:30:17 It's an honour, sir.
00:30:19 How does it feel
00:30:21 Very good, sir.
00:30:23 How does it feel
00:30:26 Very good, sir.
00:30:27 - Congratulations. How do you feel?
00:30:32 I believe he said he had to pee.
00:30:49 Some time later,
00:30:52 somebody shot that nice young
00:30:58 And a few years after that, somebody
00:31:02 only he was in a hotel kitchen.
00:31:06 Must be hard being brothers.
00:31:12 Now can you believe it?
00:31:14 After only five years of playing
00:31:18 Congratulations, son.
00:31:21 Mama was so proud.
00:31:24 Forrest, I'm so proud of you.
00:31:28 Congratulations, son.
00:31:30 Have you given
00:31:34 Thought?
00:31:37 Hello. I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.
00:31:39 Nobody gives a horse's shit
00:31:43 You're not even a lowlife,
00:31:46 Get your maggoty ass on the bus!
00:31:49 - Seat's taken.
00:31:58 At first it seemed
00:32:01 It was only my induction day,
00:32:08 Sit down if you want to.
00:32:11 I didn't know who I might meet
00:32:15 You ever been on a real shrimp boat?
00:32:18 No. But I been on a real big boat.
00:32:22 I'm talking about
00:32:25 I been working on shrimp boats
00:32:28 I started out on my uncle's boat
00:32:33 I was just looking into buying
00:32:38 My given name
00:32:41 People call me Bubba, just like
00:32:45 Can you believe that?
00:32:47 My name's Forrest Gump.
00:32:52 So Bubba was from Bayou La Batre,
00:32:58 And her mama before her
00:33:01 and her mama before her mama
00:33:04 Bubba's family knew
00:33:07 about the shrimping business.
00:33:09 I know everything there is to know
00:33:13 I'm going into the shrimping business
00:33:21 Gump! What's your sole purpose
00:33:25 To do whatever you tell me,
00:33:28 God damn it, Gump,
00:33:31 That's the most outstanding answer
00:33:34 You must have a goddamn I.Q. Of 160.
00:33:40 Listen up, people!
00:33:43 For some reason, I fit in the army
00:33:47 It's not really hard.
00:33:49 You just make your bed neat,
00:33:53 and always answer every question
00:33:56 - Is that clear?
00:34:00 What you do is
00:34:04 On a good day, you can catch
00:34:08 Everything goes all right,
00:34:11 less what you spends on gas...
00:34:13 - Done, drill sergeant!
00:34:19 Why did you put that weapon
00:34:21 You told me to, drill sergeant.
00:34:23 Jesus H. Christ.
00:34:27 If it wasn't a waste
00:34:30 I'd recommend you for O.C.S.,
00:34:33 You're going to be a general someday!
00:34:35 Now disassemble your weapon
00:34:39 Anyway, like I was saying,
00:34:43 You can barbecue it,
00:34:48 There's shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole,
00:34:51 shrimp gumbo, pan fried,
00:34:57 There's pineapple shrimp
00:35:01 pepper shrimp,
00:35:05 shrimp salad, shrimp in potatoes,
00:35:14 That's about it.
00:35:20 Night-time in the army
00:35:24 We'd lay there in our bunks,
00:35:29 and I'd miss Jenny.
00:35:35 Gump, get a load of the tits on her.
00:35:52 Turns out Jenny had gotten
00:35:56 over some photos of her
00:35:59 And she was thrown out of school.
00:36:05 But that wasn't a bad thing,
00:36:07 'cause a man who owns a theatre
00:36:11 saw those photos and offered Jenny
00:36:17 The first chance I got,
00:36:21 to see her perform in that show.
00:36:23 That was Amber, Amber Flame.
00:36:27 And now, for your listening
00:36:29 direct from Hollywood, California,
00:36:33 Let's give a big round of applause
00:37:04 Her dream had come true.
00:37:19 - Come on baby, shake it up now!
00:37:27 - This ain't Captain Kangaroo!
00:37:32 God damn it!
00:37:34 Hey, you stupid jerk!
00:37:41 Paulie, get out here!
00:37:45 Shut up!
00:37:49 Forrest! What are you doing here?
00:37:55 What are you doing, Forrest?
00:38:03 You can't keep doing this, Forrest.
00:38:08 - They was trying to grab you.
00:38:12 You can't keep
00:38:16 I can't help it. I love you.
00:38:22 You don't know what love is.
00:38:31 You remember that time
00:38:35 We prayed for God to turn me
00:38:42 Yes, I do.
00:38:46 You think
00:38:56 What do you mean, Jenny?
00:39:02 Nothing.
00:39:06 I gotta get out of here.
00:39:11 - Wait, Jenny.
00:39:15 Just stay away from me, please.
00:39:17 - Can I have a ride?
00:39:19 - I don't care.
00:39:22 So bye-bye, Jenny.
00:39:26 They sending me to Vietnam.
00:39:30 It's this whole other country.
00:39:36 Just hang on a minute.
00:39:39 Listen, you promise me something, OK?
00:39:42 Just if you're ever in trouble,
00:39:45 - You just run, OK? Just run away.
00:39:58 I'll write you all the time.
00:40:09 And just like that, she was gone.
00:40:28 You come back safe to me.
00:41:15 They told us that Vietnam
00:41:20 from the United States of America.
00:41:22 Except for all the beer cans
00:41:37 I'll bet there's shrimp
00:41:41 They tell me these Vietnams
00:41:44 After we win this war
00:41:47 we can get American shrimpers out
00:41:51 Just shrimp all the time, man.
00:41:56 - You must be my FNGs.
00:41:59 Get your hands down.
00:42:02 There are goddamn snipers
00:42:05 who'd love to grease an officer.
00:42:07 I'm Lieutenant Dan Taylor.
00:42:11 - What's wrong with your lip?
00:42:16 Well, you better tuck that in.
00:42:22 Where are you boys from in the world?
00:42:24 - Alabama, sir!
00:42:30 No. We are not relations, sir.
00:42:35 Look, it's pretty basic here.
00:42:41 from the guys who've been in country
00:42:45 There is one item of G.I. Gear
00:42:47 that can be the difference
00:42:52 Cushioned sole, O.D. Green.
00:42:55 When we're out humpin',
00:42:59 The Mekong will eat
00:43:03 Sergeant Sims. God damn it, where's
00:43:07 - I put in the requisitions.
00:43:11 Lieutenant Dan knew his stuff. I felt
00:43:16 He was from a long,
00:43:20 Somebody in his family
00:43:24 in every single American war.
00:43:29 God damn it, kick some ass.
00:43:32 I guess you could say
00:43:37 So, you boys from Arkansas?
00:43:42 Little Rock's a fine town.
00:43:45 Now, shake down your gear.
00:43:48 Draw what you need for the field.
00:43:51 If you boys are hungry, we got
00:43:56 Two standing orders in this platoon.
00:44:01 Two, try not to do anything stupid,
00:44:12 I sure hope I don't let him down.
00:44:26 I got to see a lot of countryside.
00:44:40 And we were always lookin'
00:44:52 - Hold it up!
00:44:56 It wasn't always fun.
00:44:59 Lieutenant Dan was always getting
00:45:02 about a rock or a trail or the road,
00:45:09 Get down! Shut up!
00:45:12 So we did.
00:45:31 I don't know much about anything,
00:45:33 but I think some of America's
00:45:37 There was Dallas from Phoenix.
00:45:40 Cleveland, he was from Detroit.
00:45:44 Hey, Tex. What the hell's going on?
00:45:49 And Tex was... Well, I don't
00:45:54 Ah, nothing.
00:45:59 Fourth platoon, on your feet.
00:46:01 Y'all got 10 clicks
00:46:06 - One, two, hup!
00:46:12 The good thing about Vietnam
00:46:16 Fire in the hole!
00:46:21 Gump, check out that hole.
00:46:24 And there was always something to do.
00:46:27 Mount 'em up!
00:46:35 One day it started raining,
00:46:41 We've been through every
00:46:44 Little bitty stinging rain
00:46:51 rain that flew in sideways,
00:46:56 to come straight up from underneath.
00:46:59 Shoot, it even rained at night.
00:47:03 - Hey, Forrest.
00:47:06 I'm going to lean up against you.
00:47:09 This way we don't have to sleep
00:47:14 You know why
00:47:16 'Cause we be watching out for one
00:47:23 Hey, Forrest,
00:47:27 I got a very important question
00:47:32 How would you like to go
00:47:37 - OK.
00:47:41 I got it all figured out, too.
00:47:43 So many pounds of shrimp
00:47:46 So many pounds for gas.
00:47:49 We ain't got to pay no rent.
00:47:52 We can just work it together, split
00:47:56 Man, I'm telling you, 50-50. Hey,
00:48:03 That's a fine idea.
00:48:05 Bubba did have a fine idea.
00:48:12 I even wrote Jenny
00:48:15 I sent her letters.
00:48:19 I told her what I was doing
00:48:24 and told her
00:48:28 And how I was looking forward
00:48:32 just as soon as she had the time.
00:48:35 I'd always let her know
00:48:38 Then I'd sign each letter
00:48:59 This one day,
00:49:03 and then, just like that,
00:49:09 and the sun come out.
00:49:13 Ambush! Take cover!
00:49:26 - Get that pig up here, God damn it!
00:49:34 Strong Arm, Strong Arm!
00:49:38 - We've got a man down.
00:49:43 Roger, Strong Arm! We have incoming
00:49:48 ...plus two! A.K. S and rockets!
00:49:52 - Misfire! Misfire!
00:49:58 Get that pig unfucked
00:50:03 They got us down, hard and hurt.
00:50:06 We're going to move back
00:50:11 Pull back! Pull back!
00:50:13 - Forrest! Run, Forrest!
00:50:17 - Run! Run, man! Run!
00:50:23 Run, God damn it! Run!
00:50:52 I ran and ran
00:50:59 I ran so far so fast that soon I was
00:51:09 Bubba was my best good friend.
00:51:22 Where the hell are you?
00:51:27 And on my way back to find Bubba,
00:51:33 Tex. OK.
00:51:38 I couldn't let him lay there
00:51:42 so I grabbed him up
00:52:00 Every time I went back
00:52:03 somebody else was saying,
00:52:14 OK. Here. Here.
00:52:19 No sweat, man.
00:52:24 I started to get scared
00:52:29 I know my position is danger close!
00:52:34 I got to have those fast movers
00:52:37 Lieutenant Dan, Coleman's dead!
00:52:40 I know he's dead! My whole
00:52:44 God damn it! What are you doing?
00:52:50 Get away.
00:52:53 God, I said leave me here,
00:52:57 Leg Lima six, this is strong-arm.
00:52:59 Be advised your fast
00:53:03 Then it felt like something
00:53:06 Something bit me!
00:53:16 Goddamn son of a bitch!
00:53:19 I can't leave the platoon.
00:53:25 Forget about me. Get yourself out!
00:53:29 Gump, damn it, put me down.
00:53:36 I didn't ask you to pull me out
00:53:40 - Where do you think you're going?
00:53:43 I got an air strike
00:53:45 They're going to nape the whole area.
00:53:50 I gotta find Bubba!
00:54:19 I'm OK, Forrest. I'm OK.
00:54:30 - Bubba, no.
00:54:42 Come on. Come on. Come on.
00:54:50 I'm OK, Forrest.
00:54:55 I'm OK. I'm fine.
00:55:33 Top smoke. Get it up there.
00:55:37 If I'd have known this was going
00:55:41 was gonna talk, I'd of thought
00:55:45 - Hey, Bubba.
00:55:51 - Forrest, why did this happen?
00:55:58 Then Bubba said something
00:56:03 I want to go home.
00:56:06 Bubba was my best good friend.
00:56:10 And even I know that ain't something
00:56:15 Bubba was going to be
00:56:18 but instead, he died right
00:56:27 That's all I have to say about that.
00:56:32 It was a bullet, wasn't it?
00:56:37 - A bullet?
00:56:43 Yes, sir.
00:56:47 They said it was a million
00:56:51 The army must keep that money,
00:56:53 'cause I still ain't seen a nickel
00:56:57 The only good thing
00:57:01 is the ice cream.
00:57:03 They gave me all the ice cream
00:57:07 A good friend of mine was
00:57:12 Lieutenant Dan,
00:57:17 Lieutenant Dan, ice cream!
00:57:31 It's time for your bath,
00:57:43 Harper!
00:57:47 Cooper. Larson.
00:57:52 Webster. Gump.
00:57:56 - Gump!
00:58:01 Kyle. Nichols.
00:58:07 McMill. Johnson.
00:58:28 Gump, how can you watch
00:58:33 You are tuned to the American Forces
00:58:36 This is Channel 6, Saigon.
00:58:41 Good catch, Gump.
00:58:48 Come on. Let me show you.
00:58:52 The secret to this game is
00:58:56 never, ever take your eye
00:59:04 All right.
00:59:08 For some reason, ping-pong
00:59:12 See? Any idiot can play.
00:59:16 So I started playing it all the time.
00:59:19 I played ping-pong even when I didn't
00:59:33 The hospital's people said it
00:59:38 whatever that means.
00:59:40 Even Lieutenant Dan
00:59:48 I played ping-pong so much,
01:00:00 Now, you listen to me.
01:00:05 Nothing just happens.
01:00:09 I should have died
01:00:12 but now, I'm nothing but
01:00:18 Look. Look! Look at me!
01:00:21 Do you know what it's like
01:00:28 Yes, sir, I do.
01:00:34 Did you hear what I said?
01:00:39 I was supposed to die in the field
01:00:43 That was my destiny,
01:00:56 You understand what I'm saying, Gump?
01:01:02 This wasn't supposed to happen,
01:01:11 I was Lieutenant Dan Taylor.
01:01:21 You're still Lieutenant Dan.
01:01:47 Look at me.
01:01:55 What am I going to do now?
01:02:08 PFC Gump?
01:02:11 - Yes, sir!
01:02:16 Son, you been awarded
01:02:20 Guess what, Lieutenant Dan?
01:02:31 Ma'am, what did they do
01:02:35 They sent him home.
01:02:44 Two weeks later, I left Vietnam.
01:02:47 The ceremony was kicked off
01:02:51 regarding the need for further
01:02:55 President Johnson awarded four medals
01:02:58 America owes you
01:03:03 I understand you were wounded.
01:03:07 In the but-tocks, sir.
01:03:09 Well, that must be a sight.
01:03:26 God damn, son!
01:03:31 After that, Mama went
01:03:34 so I went out for a walk
01:03:38 Hilary! I got the vets.
01:03:43 It's a good thing Mama was resting,
01:03:46 'cause the streets was
01:03:49 lookin' at all the statues
01:03:52 and some of them people
01:03:54 OK, follow me! Move it out!
01:03:57 Everywhere I went,
01:04:07 Come on. Go!
01:04:18 You're a good man
01:04:23 OK.
01:04:25 There was this man
01:04:27 And for some reason, he was wearing
01:04:33 And he liked to say
01:04:37 "F" This and "F" That.
01:04:40 And every time he said the "F" Word,
01:04:52 Come on, man. Come up here, man.
01:04:55 Come on. Come on. Yeah, you!
01:05:00 Go on. Let's get up there.
01:05:15 Tell us a little bit
01:05:18 - The war in Vietnam?
01:05:48 Well...
01:05:50 There was only one thing
01:05:54 There's only one thing
01:06:02 In Vietnam...
01:06:15 What the hell are you do...
01:06:17 I'll beat your head in,
01:06:20 Jesus Christ!
01:06:23 Can't hear you!
01:06:26 Can't hear anything!
01:06:30 This... This one! Give me that!
01:06:31 Speak up!
01:06:34 That's it.
01:06:36 And that's all I have to say
01:06:47 That's so right on, man.
01:06:52 - What's your name, man?
01:06:58 - Forrest Gump.
01:07:40 It was the happiest moment
01:07:45 Jenny and me were just
01:07:50 She showed me around and introduced
01:07:55 Shut that blind, man! And get your
01:07:58 Don't you know we in a war here?
01:08:01 - He's cool. He's one of us.
01:08:05 Our purpose here
01:08:07 from the racial onslaught of the pig
01:08:09 who wishes to brutalise
01:08:11 rape our women,
00:00:05 - Who's the baby killer?
00:00:10 This is Forrest Gump.
00:00:13 Wesley and I
00:00:15 and he's the president
00:00:18 We are here to offer
00:00:21 for all those who need our help,
00:00:25 are against the war in Vietnam.
00:00:27 We are against any war where black
00:00:30 to die for a country that hates them.
00:00:32 We are against any war
00:00:36 and come to be brutalised
00:00:40 We are against all these racist
00:00:59 Forrest! Stop it! Stop it!
00:01:12 I shouldn't have brought you here.
00:01:14 I should have known it was going
00:01:19 He should not be hitting you, Jenny.
00:01:27 Come on, Forrest.
00:01:34 Sorry I had a fight in the middle
00:01:35 and learn how to live in harmony,
00:01:41 'cause she made it
00:01:46 Hey. Anybody
00:01:50 - I'll go.
00:01:53 It was a very special night
00:01:59 I didn't want it to end.
00:02:02 - Wish you wouldn't go, Jenny.
00:02:08 Jenny?
00:02:14 It's just this war and that lying
00:02:20 I would never hurt you.
00:02:25 Know what I think?
00:02:30 I think you should go home
00:02:45 Forrest, we have very different
00:02:59 I want you to have this.
00:03:07 Forrest, I can't keep this.
00:03:11 I got it just by doing
00:03:17 - Why are you so good to me?
00:03:25 I'll always be your girl.
00:04:06 And just like that,
00:04:14 It's one small step for man,
00:04:25 I thought I was going back
00:04:30 the best way for me to fight
00:04:34 so I was in the Special Services,
00:04:38 cheering up wounded veterans and
00:04:42 I was so good,
00:04:44 the Army decided I should be
00:04:49 We were the first Americans
00:04:52 in a million years or something.
00:04:54 Somebody said world peace
00:04:57 but all I did was play ping-pong.
00:05:00 When I got home,
00:05:03 famouser even than Captain Kangaroo.
00:05:06 Here he is, Forrest Gump. Right here.
00:05:19 - Forrest Gump, John Lennon.
00:05:23 Can you tell us, what was China like?
00:05:31 In the land of China,
00:05:35 No possessions?
00:05:40 And in China,
00:05:44 - No religion, too?
00:05:50 Well, it's easy if you try, Dick.
00:05:53 Some years later,
00:05:56 was on his way home to see his little
00:06:01 For no particular reason at all,
00:06:08 They gave you
00:06:14 Now, that's Lieutenant Dan.
00:06:18 Lieutenant Dan!
00:06:20 They gave you
00:06:26 Yes, sir. They surely did.
00:06:28 They gave you, an imbecile,
00:06:34 and makes a fool out of himself
00:06:39 the Congressional Medal of Honour.
00:06:43 Yes, sir.
00:06:46 Well, that's just perfect!
00:06:51 Well, I just got one thing to say
00:07:05 Lieutenant Dan!
00:07:07 Lieutenant Dan
00:07:11 Because he didn't have no legs, he
00:07:18 Take a right. Take a right!
00:07:24 Come on, already!
00:07:26 What do you do here in New York,
00:07:29 I'm living off the government tit.
00:07:36 Are you blind? I'm walking here!
00:07:47 I stayed with Lieutenant Dan
00:07:56 You have a great year,
00:08:03 Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?
00:08:06 I didn't know I was supposed
00:08:18 That's all these cripples at the VA,
00:08:25 Jesus this and Jesus that.
00:08:32 They even had a priest
00:08:35 He said God is listening,
00:08:41 Now, if I accept Jesus into my heart,
00:08:44 I'll get to walk beside him
00:08:48 Did you hear what I said?
00:08:52 Walk beside him
00:08:57 Well, kiss my crippled ass. God
00:09:06 I'm going to heaven, Lieutenant Dan.
00:09:16 Well...
00:09:21 Before you go, why don't you
00:09:25 - and get us more ripple?
00:09:27 We're at approximately 45th street
00:09:32 This is the site
00:09:34 - What the hell is in Bayou La Batre?
00:09:38 Shrimping boats? Who gives a shit
00:09:41 I got to buy me one
00:09:46 I promised Bubba in Vietnam
00:09:47 that as soon as the war was over,
00:09:50 He'd be the captain
00:09:54 But now that he's dead,
00:09:57 A shrimp boat captain.
00:09:59 Yes, sir. A promise is a promise,
00:10:04 Now hear this!
00:10:08 Private Gump here is gonna be
00:10:12 Tell you what, Gilligan. The day
00:10:16 I will come and be your first mate.
00:10:20 If you're ever a shrimp boat captain,
00:10:25 Danny, what are you complaining
00:10:28 - Mr Hot Wheels. Who's your friend?
00:10:34 This is Cunning Carla
00:10:39 So where you been, babycakes?
00:10:43 You should have been here
00:10:45 'cause Tommy bought a free round
00:10:49 Well, I had company.
00:10:51 We was just there!
00:10:55 Don't you just love New Year's?
00:11:00 Everybody gets a second chance.
00:11:03 It's funny,
00:11:06 I began to think about Jenny,
00:11:08 wondering how she was spending her
00:11:35 Nine, eight, seven, six,
00:11:39 five, four, three, two, one!
00:12:02 Happy New Year, Lieutenant Dan!
00:12:40 What are you, stupid or something?
00:12:44 What's his problem? Did you lose
00:12:49 - Is your friend stupid or something?
00:12:52 I said is your friend
00:12:54 - Don't call him stupid!
00:12:57 You shut up!
00:13:00 Why you so upset?
00:13:03 Get your goddamn clothes
00:13:06 You should be in a sideshow.
00:13:10 Get out of here!
00:13:11 - You retard!
00:13:19 Oh, no.
00:13:46 I'm sorry I ruined your New Year's
00:13:50 She tastes like cigarettes.
00:14:09 I guess Lieutenant Dan figured
00:14:14 He didn't want to be called crippled
00:14:17 like I didn't want
00:14:24 Happy New Year, Gump.
00:14:32 The U.S. Ping-pong team met
00:14:34 Wouldn't you know it?
00:14:38 they invited me and the ping-pong
00:14:42 So I went, again.
00:14:45 And I met the President
00:14:49 Only this time, they didn't get us
00:14:53 Are you enjoying yourself
00:14:57 - Where are you staying?
00:15:00 Oh, no. I know a much nicer hotel.
00:15:03 It's brand-new. Very modern.
00:15:07 - Security.
00:15:10 You might want to send a maintenance
00:15:15 The lights are off and they must be
00:15:20 'cause them flashlights,
00:15:23 - OK, sir. I'll check it out.
00:15:29 Therefore,
00:15:33 effective at noon tomorrow.
00:15:37 will be sworn in as President
00:15:53 - Forrest Gump.
00:15:56 As you were. I have your
00:16:04 Does this mean
00:16:07 For the Army, it does.
00:16:11 And just like that, my service
00:16:21 So I went home.
00:16:45 - I'm home, Mama.
00:16:51 Louise, he's here.
00:16:52 When I got home, I had no idea,
00:16:56 We've had all sorts of visitors.
00:16:59 Everybody wants you to use
00:17:02 One man even left a check for $25,000
00:17:06 if you'd be agreeable to saying
00:17:10 I only like using my own paddle.
00:17:12 - Hi, Miss Louise.
00:17:14 I know that,
00:17:18 I thought maybe
00:17:22 see if it grows on you.
00:17:24 That Mama, she sure was right.
00:17:29 I didn't stay home for long
00:17:31 because I'd made a promise to Bubba,
00:17:36 so I went on down to Bayou La Batre
00:17:40 Are you crazy or just plain stupid?
00:17:44 - Stupid is as stupid does, Mrs Blue.
00:17:49 And, of course,
00:17:55 Hey, Bubba. It's me, Forrest Gump.
00:18:00 I remember everything you said,
00:18:07 I'm taking $24,562.47 that I got,
00:18:15 that's left after a new haircut
00:18:19 and I took Mama out
00:18:22 and I bought a bus ticket,
00:18:25 Tell me something.
00:18:29 Stupid is as stupid does, sir.
00:18:32 That's what's left after me saying,
00:18:34 "When I was in China
00:18:38 "I just loved playing ping-pong
00:18:40 "with my Flex-o-lite
00:18:42 which everybody knows isn't true,
00:18:44 but Mama said it was just a little
00:18:48 So anyway,
00:18:53 and new nets
00:19:18 Bubba told me everything
00:19:21 but you know what I found out?
00:19:25 Shrimping is tough.
00:19:30 I only caught five.
00:19:33 A couple more,
00:19:38 You ever think about
00:19:41 It's bad luck
00:19:44 I'd never named a boat before,
00:19:46 but there was only one
00:19:52 the most beautiful name
00:20:17 I hadn't heard from Jenny in a long
00:20:23 I hoped whatever she was doing
00:22:12 I thought about Jenny all the time.
00:23:04 Lieutenant Dan,
00:23:09 Well, thought I'd try out
00:23:12 Well, you ain't got no legs,
00:23:15 Yes, I know that.
00:23:21 Well, well. Captain Forrest Gump.
00:23:27 And I told you if you were
00:23:33 that I'd be your first mate.
00:23:37 - I'm a man of my word.
00:23:40 But don't you be thinking that
00:23:44 No, sir.
00:23:55 That's my boat.
00:23:59 I have a feeling if we head due east,
00:24:03 we'll find some shrimp.
00:24:08 - Take a left!
00:24:11 Over there! They're over there!
00:24:13 - Get on the wheel and take a left.
00:24:20 Gump, what are you doing?
00:24:26 That's where we're going
00:24:31 That's where we'll find them.
00:24:45 - Still no shrimp, Lieutenant Dan.
00:24:49 How are we going to find them?
00:24:52 Maybe you should
00:25:03 So I went to church every Sunday.
00:25:07 Sometimes Lieutenant Dan came too,
00:25:27 - No shrimp.
00:25:33 It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that,
00:25:55 You'll never sink this boat!
00:25:57 Now, me, I was scared,
00:26:03 Come on!
00:26:08 You call this a storm?
00:26:15 It's time for a showdown! You and me!
00:26:25 You'll never sink this boat!
00:26:31 Hurricane Carmen
00:26:33 destroying nearly everything
00:26:36 And as in other towns
00:26:39 Bayou La Batre's
00:26:41 has fallen victim to Carmen
00:26:47 This reporter has learned,
00:26:48 in fact, only one shrimping boat
00:26:52 Louise. Louise, there's Forrest.
00:26:55 After that, shrimping was easy.
00:27:04 Since people still needed
00:27:07 and barbecues and all, and we were
00:27:11 Bubba-Gump shrimp's what they got.
00:27:17 Twelve Jennys, big old warehouse.
00:27:19 We even have hats
00:27:23 Bubba-Gump Shrimp. A household name.
00:27:26 Hold on there, boy.
00:27:28 Are you telling me you're the owner
00:27:32 Yes. We got more money
00:27:35 Boy, I heard some whoppers
00:27:43 We were sitting
00:27:50 Well, I thought it was
00:27:55 and you tell it so well,
00:28:00 Would you like to see
00:28:04 Yes, I would.
00:28:11 That's him right there.
00:28:15 Let me tell you something
00:28:24 I never thanked you
00:28:54 He never actually said so, but
00:29:09 For the second time in 17 days,
00:29:10 President Ford escaped
00:29:14 - Base to Jenny 1. Base to Jenny 1.
00:29:19 Forrest has a phone call.
00:29:21 Well, you'll have to tell them
00:29:23 - He is indisposed at the moment.
00:29:47 - Where's Mama?
00:29:52 Hi, Forrest.
00:29:54 - I'll see you tomorrow.
00:30:04 Sure got you straightened out,
00:30:19 - What's the matter, Mama?
00:30:26 Come on in, sit down over here.
00:30:42 - Why are you dying, Mama?
00:30:51 Now, don't you be afraid, sweetheart.
00:30:57 Death is just a part of life.
00:31:03 I didn't know it,
00:31:09 - I did the best I could.
00:31:13 Well, I happen to believe
00:31:20 You have to do the best
00:31:28 What's my destiny, Mama?
00:31:31 You're going to have
00:31:36 Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest.
00:31:39 You never know
00:31:42 Mama always had a way of explaining
00:31:47 I will miss you, Forrest.
00:31:50 She had got the cancer
00:31:55 I bought her a new hat
00:32:03 And that's all
00:32:12 Didn't you say you were waiting
00:32:15 There'll be another one
00:32:21 Now, because I had been
00:32:26 and national celebrity
00:32:29 and a college graduate, the city
00:32:33 decided to get together
00:32:37 So I never went back
00:32:41 though he did take care
00:32:43 He got me invested
00:32:48 I got a call from him saying we don't
00:32:52 and I said,
00:32:58 Now Mama said there's only
00:33:02 and the rest is just for showing off.
00:33:06 So I gave a whole bunch of it
00:33:12 And I gave a whole bunch to the
00:33:19 And even though Bubba was dead
00:33:25 I gave Bubba's mama Bubba's share.
00:33:31 You know what?
00:33:32 She didn't have to work
00:33:37 That smells wonderful.
00:33:39 And 'cause I was a gozillionaire
00:33:45 I cut that grass for free.
00:33:49 But at night-time
00:33:53 and the house was all empty,
00:35:02 And then, she was there.
00:35:39 - Hello, Forrest.
00:35:53 Jenny came back and stayed with me.
00:35:56 Maybe it was because
00:36:01 or maybe it was because she was
00:36:05 and slept and slept,
00:36:10 It was wonderful having her home.
00:36:13 Every day we'd take a walk, and I'd
00:36:19 and she'd listen about
00:36:22 and Mama making a trip up to heaven.
00:36:26 Jenny most of the time
00:37:09 How could you do this?
00:37:49 Sometimes I guess there
00:37:54 I never really knew
00:38:00 It was like olden times.
00:38:06 Every day, I'd pick pretty flowers
00:38:13 and she gave me the best gift anyone
00:38:17 They're just for running.
00:38:23 And she even showed me how to dance.
00:38:36 Well, we was like family,
00:38:43 and it was the happiest time
00:39:11 You done watching it?
00:39:26 Will you marry me?
00:39:32 I'd make a good husband, Jenny.
00:39:38 You would, Forrest.
00:39:42 But you won't marry me.
00:39:46 You don't want to marry me.
00:39:52 Why don't you love me, Jenny?
00:40:00 I'm not a smart man,
00:40:46 Forrest, I do love you.
00:41:41 - Where are you running off to?
00:43:17 That day, for no particular reason,
00:43:23 So I ran to the end of the road,
00:43:27 I thought maybe I'd run
00:43:30 President Carter,
00:43:33 And when I got there,
00:43:35 I thought maybe I'd just
00:43:39 Now, thinking since I'd run this far,
00:43:42 maybe I'd just run across
00:43:46 And that's what I did.
00:43:49 No particular reason.
00:43:54 I ran clear to the ocean.
00:44:01 And when I got there,
00:44:06 might as well turn around,
00:44:12 And when I got to another ocean,
00:44:19 I might as well just turn back
00:44:23 When I got tired, I slept.
00:44:28 When I had to go...
00:44:34 - And so, you just ran.
00:45:16 I'd think a lot about Mama
00:45:22 But most of all, I thought about
00:45:29 For more than two years,
00:45:33 a gardener from Greenbow, Alabama,
00:45:36 has been running across America.
00:45:40 For the fourth time
00:45:44 Forrest Gump the gardener will cross
00:45:50 - I'll be damned. Forrest?
00:45:54 - Are you doing this for world peace?
00:45:57 - Are you running for women's rights?
00:46:00 They couldn't believe somebody would
00:46:05 - Why are you doing this?
00:46:10 I just felt like runnin'.
00:46:13 It's you.
00:46:16 For some reason, what I was doing
00:46:22 It was like an alarm
00:46:24 I said, "Here's a guy
00:46:28 "Here's somebody who has the answer."
00:46:32 So I got company.
00:46:36 And after that, I got more company.
00:46:44 Somebody later told me
00:46:51 I don't know anything about that,
00:46:53 but some of those people asked me
00:46:57 I was wondering if you might help me.
00:47:02 I need a good slogan, and since
00:47:05 I thought
00:47:08 Whoa, man! You just ran
00:47:13 - It happens.
00:47:18 Sometimes.
00:47:21 And some years later, I heard
00:47:25 with a bumper sticker slogan
00:47:29 Another time, I was running along,
00:47:32 somebody who'd lost all his money
00:47:35 he wanted to put my face
00:47:38 but he couldn't draw that well,
00:47:42 Here, use this one.
00:47:50 Have a nice day.
00:47:53 Some years later,
00:47:57 with an idea for a t-shirt.
00:48:03 Anyway, like I was saying,
00:48:08 Mama always said, "Put the past
00:48:15 And I think
00:48:21 I had run for three years,
00:48:43 Quiet. Quiet.
00:48:57 I'm pretty tired.
00:49:01 Think I'll go home now.
00:49:21 Now what are we supposed to do?
00:49:25 And just like that,
00:49:30 So I went home to Alabama.
00:49:34 Moments ago, at 2.25 p.m., as
00:49:40 ...five or six gunshots were fired
00:49:45 The President was shot
00:49:47 I picked up the mail.
00:49:49 And one day, out of the blue clear
00:49:54 wondering if I could come down
00:49:57 and that's what I'm doing here.
00:50:01 She saw me on TV, running.
00:50:03 I'm supposed to go on the number nine
00:50:08 and get off and go one block left
00:50:15 Why, you don't need to take a bus.
00:50:18 Henry Street is just five
00:50:24 - Down that way?
00:50:29 It was nice talking to you.
00:50:34 I hope everything works out for you!
00:50:48 - How you doin'? Come in! Come in!
00:50:52 - I was wondering about that.
00:50:58 Yeah. It's messy right now.
00:51:02 It's nice. You got air conditioning.
00:51:12 - Thank you.
00:51:17 I kept a scrapbook of your clippings,
00:51:25 And this, I got you running.
00:51:29 I ran a long way. It's a long time.
00:51:37 And there...
00:51:45 Listen, Forrest,
00:51:51 I just I want to apologise
00:51:56 'cause I was messed up
00:52:04 - Hi.
00:52:07 - This is an old friend from Alabama.
00:52:10 Next week my schedule changes,
00:52:14 No problem. Got to go.
00:52:16 OK. Thanks.
00:52:20 This is my very good friend Mr Gump.
00:52:24 - Hello, Mr Gump.
00:52:26 - Can I go watch TV now?
00:52:32 - You're a mama, Jenny.
00:52:39 - His name's Forrest.
00:52:45 - I named him after his daddy.
00:52:52 You're his daddy, Forrest.
00:53:11 Forrest, look at me.
00:53:16 There's nothing you need to do.
00:53:26 Isn't he beautiful?
00:53:29 He's the most beautiful thing
00:53:36 But...
00:53:41 Is he smart? Can he...
00:53:43 He's very smart. He's one
00:53:57 Yeah, it's OK. Go talk to him.
00:54:09 - What are you watching?
00:54:35 Forrest, I'm sick.
00:54:42 What, do you have
00:54:45 I have some virus, and the doctors,
00:54:51 and there isn't
00:54:59 You could come home with me.
00:55:04 You and little Forrest could
00:55:12 I'll take care of you if you're sick.
00:55:17 Would you marry me, Forrest?
00:55:25 OK.
00:55:28 Please take your seats.
00:55:33 Forrest? It's time to start.
00:55:55 Hi. Your tie.
00:56:11 Lieutenant Dan.
00:56:28 - Lieutenant Dan.
00:56:33 You got new legs. New legs!
00:56:38 Yeah. I got new legs. Custom-made.
00:56:42 Titanium alloy. It's what they use
00:56:49 Magic legs.
00:56:53 This is my fiancée, Susan.
00:57:00 - Lieutenant Dan.
00:57:05 - Lieutenant Dan, this is my Jenny.
00:57:23 Do you, Forrest, take Jenny
00:57:29 Do you, Jenny,
00:57:34 And so I pronounce you man and wife.
00:58:09 - Hey.
00:58:31 Were you scared in Vietnam?
00:58:35 Yes. Well, I don't know.
00:58:40 Sometimes it would stop raining long
00:58:49 And then it was nice.
00:58:54 It was like just before the sun
00:58:58 There was always
00:59:05 Like that mountain lake.
00:59:09 it looked like there were two skies
00:59:16 And then in the desert,
00:59:22 I couldn't tell where heaven stopped
00:59:30 It was so beautiful.
00:59:37 I wish I could've been there
00:59:43 You were.
00:59:55 I love you.
01:00:01 You died on a Saturday morning.
01:00:06 And I had you placed
01:00:14 And I had that house of your father's
01:00:24 Mama always said
01:00:34 I sure wish it wasn't.
01:00:40 Little Forrest is doing just fine.
01:00:47 About to start school again soon,
01:00:50 and I make his breakfast,
01:00:57 I make sure he combs his hair
01:01:05 Teaching him how to play ping-pong.
01:01:12 Forrest, you go.
01:01:18 We fish a lot.
01:01:24 And every night, we read a book.
01:01:30 You'd be so proud of him. I am.
01:01:37 He wrote you a letter.
01:01:41 And he says I can't read it.
01:01:43 I'm not supposed to,
01:02:10 I don't know if mama was right
01:02:17 I don't know if
01:02:24 or if we're all just floating around
01:02:35 But I think maybe it's both.
01:02:45 Maybe both is happening
01:02:54 But I miss you, Jenny.
01:03:03 If there's anything you need,
01:03:42 Here's your bus. OK.
01:03:48 I know this.
01:03:50 I'm gonna share that for
01:03:53 because Grandma
01:03:56 My favourite book.
01:04:05 Here you go.
01:04:14 Don't...
01:04:18 - I want to tell you I love you.
01:04:23 I'll be right here when you get back.
01:04:31 You understand this is
01:04:36 Of course, and you're Dorothy Harris,
