Classical movie Forrest Gump
PART ONE,CHILDHOOD ANDSCHOOL DAYS
Forrest:
Hello. My name?s Forrest. Forrest Gump. Do you want a chocolate? I could eat about a million and a half of these. My mama always said “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you?re going to get.” Those must be comfortable shoes. I bet? you could walk all day in shoes like that and not feel a thing. I wish I had shoes like that. Woman: My feet hurt.
Forrest:
Mama always said “There?s an awful lot?you can tell about a person by their shoes. “Where they?re going. Where they?ve been.” I?ve worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they would take me anywhere. She said they was my magic shoes.
Doctor:
Alright, Forrest. Open your eyes now. Let?s take a little walk around. How do those feel? His legs are strong, Mrs. Gump, as strong as I?ve ever seen. But his back is as crooked?as a politician. But we?re going to straighten him right up now, aren?t we, Forrest?
Mrs.Gump:Forrest!
Forrest:
Now when I was a baby, Mama named me after?the great Civil War hero, General Nathan Bedford Forrest. She said we was related to him in some way and what he did was, he started up this club called the Ku Klux Klan?. They?d all dress up in their robes and their bed sheets and act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks? or something. They?d even put bed sheets on their horses and ride
? I bet: 日常用语，我肯定，我敢说
? an awful lot:相当多的
? crooked: 弯曲的，不诚实的
? name after: 以……来命名
? Ku Klux Klan: 三K党
? spook: 幽灵around. Anyway, that?s how I got my name, Forrest Gump. Mama said the Forrest part was to remind me that sometimes we all do things that, well, just don?t make no sense.
Mrs.Gump:
What are y?all starin? at? Haven?t you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before? Don?t ever let anybody tell you that they?re better than you, Forrest. If God intended everybody to be the same, he?d have given us all braces on our legs. Forrest:
Mama always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them. We lived about a quarter mile off Route 17, about a half mile from the town of Greenbow, Alabama. That?s in the country of Greenbow. Our house had been in mama?s family since her grandpa?s grandpa?s grandpa had come across the ocean about a thousand years ago, something like that. Since it was just me and mama and we had all these empty rooms, mama decided to let those rooms out?, mostly to people passin?through like, oh, from Mobile, Montgomery, places like that. That?s how me and mama got money. Mama was a real smart Lady. Mrs.Gump:
Remember what I told you Forrest. You?re no different than anybody else is. Did you hear what I said, Forrest? You are the same as everybody else. You are no different .
Mr.Hillcock:
Your boy?s different, Mrs.Gump. His I.Q?. is 75. Mrs.Gump: Well, we?re all different, Mr.Hillcock. Forrest:
She wanted me to have the finest education so she took me to the Greenbow County Central School. I met the principal and all.
Mr.Hillcock:
I want to show you something, Mrs.Gump. Now this is normal. Forrest is right here. The state requires a minimum I.Q. of 80 to attend public school, Mrs.Gump. He?s going to have to go to a
? lent out/rent out: 出租（房屋）等
? I.Q.: 智商
special school. He?ll be just fine.
Mrs.Gump:
What does normal mean, anyway? He might be a bit on the slow side. But my boy, Forrest, is going to get the same opportunities as everyone else. He?s not going to some special school to learn how to retread?tires. We?re talking about five little points here. There must be something can be done. Mr.Hillcock:
We?re a progressive school system. We don?t want to see anybody left behind. Is there a ...Mr. Gump, Mrs. Gump?
Mrs.Gump: He?s on vacation.
Mr.Hillcock: Eee,Eee,Eee… Your mama sure does care about your schooling, son. You
don?t say much, do you?
Gump: Eee,Eee,Eee…
Mrs.Gump: (reading to Forrest) Finally, he had to try. It looked easy but... oh, what
happened?
Gump: Mama, what?s “vacation” mean?
Mrs.Gump: Vacation?
Gump: Where daddy went?
Mrs.Gump:Vacation is when you go somewhere and you don?t ever come back. Forrest:
Anyway, I guess you could say me and mama was on our own. But we didn?t mind. Our house was never empty. There was always folks coming and going. Sometimes we had so many people staying with us that every room was filled with travelers. You know, folks livin?out of their suitcases and hat cases, and sample cases. One time a young man was staying with us and he had him a guitar case.
(Forrest Dan ces as the traveler sings “Hound Dog”)
Mrs.Gump:Forrest, I told you not to bother this nice young man.
Elvis Presley: No, that?s alright Ma?am. I was just showing him a thing or two on the guitar
here.
? retread: 更换轮胎，给（旧轮胎）装新胎面Mrs.Gump:Alright. Supper?s ready if y?all want to eat.
Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you, Ma?am.
Say, man, show me that crazy little walk
you just did there. Slow it down some.
“You ain?t?nothing but a hound dog...” Forrest:
I liked that guitar. It sounded good. I started moving around to the music, swingin?my hips. This night, me and mama was out shoppin? and we walked right by Pitsey?s Furniture and Appliance store. Guess what.?.. (Elvis was on TV Dan cing the way that Forrest taught him)
Mrs.Gump: This is not for children?s eyes. Forrest:
Some years later, that handsome young man who they called “The King”, well, he sang too many songs, had himself a heart attack or something. Must be hard being the king... You know it?s funny how you remember some things. But some things you can?t.
Mrs.Gump: You do your very best now, Forrest. Gump: I sure will, mama.
Forrest: I remember the bus ride on the first day of school very well. Dorothy: Are you
coming along?
Gump: Mama said not to be taken rides from strangers.
Dorothy: This is the bus to school. Gump: I?m Forrest, Forrest Gump.
Dorothy: I?m Dorothy Harris. Gump: Well, now we ain?t strangers anymore. Kid: This
seat?s taken.
Other Kids: Taken. Different Kid: You can?t sit here.
Forrest:
You know it?s funny what a young man recollects?. …Cause I don?t remember being born. I don?t recall what I got for my first Christmas. I don?t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice
? ain?t: 仅用于口语，表示系动词和助动词的否定
? recollect: 回忆
in the wide world.
Little Jenny: You can sit here if you want. Forrest: I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life. She was like an angel.
Little Jenny: Well, are you going to sit down or aren?t you? What?s wrong with your
legs?
Gump: Nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and Dan dy?.
Forrest: I just sat next to her on that bus and had a conversation all the way to school. Gump: The doctor says my back?s crooked like a question mark. These are going to make
me as straight as an arrow.
Forrest: Next to? mama, no one ever talked to me or asked me questions.
Little Jenny: Are you stupid or something? Gump: Mama says “Stupid is as stupid does.” Little Jenny: I?m Jenny. Gump: I?m Forrest.
Forrest Gump.
Forrest: From that day on, we were always together. Jenny and me were like peas
and carrots?. She taught me how to
climb. I showed her how to Dan gle. She
helped me learn how to read, and I
showed her how to swing. Sometimes
we?d just sit out and wait for the stars. Gump: Mama?s going to worry about me.
Little Jenny: Just stay a little longer.
Forrest: For some reason, Jenny didn?t ever want to go home.
Gump: OK, Jenny. I?ll stay.
Forrest: She was my most special friend... My only friend. Now, my mama always told
me that miracles happen everyday. Some
people don?t think so.But they do.
Bully1: Hey, dummy?! Are you dumb, or just plain stupid?
Bully2: Look, I?m Forrest Gump.
Little Jenny: Just run away, Forrest. Run, Forrest. ? fine and dandy: 非常好
? next to 除…之外
? peas and carrots: 亲密无间
? dummy: 傻瓜，蠢货，笨蛋
Run away.Hurry!
Bully2: Get the bikes. Hurry up.
Bully1: Look out, dummy, here we come. Gonna get you!
Little Jenny: Run, Forrest. Run, Forrest.
Bully1: Come back here, you!
Little Jenny: Run, Forrest, Run!
Forrest:
Now, You wouldn?t believe it if I told you. But I can run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I was running! Man in store: That boy sure is a run fool. Forrest: Now, remember how I told you that Jenny never seemed to want to go home? Well, she lived in a house that was as old as Alabama. Her mama had gone up to heaven when she was five and her daddy was some kind of a farmer.
Gump: (knock on the door) Jenny?
Forrest: He was a very loving man. He was always kissin?and touchin?her and her
sisters. And then this one time, Jenny
wasn?t on the bus to go to school. Gump: Jenny, why didn?t you come to school today?
Little Jenny: Shh! Daddy?s taking a nap. Father: Jenny!
Little Jenny: C?mon!
Father: Jenny! Where?d you run to? You?d better get back here, girl. Jenny? Where you
at?
Little Jenny: Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me.
Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly
far, far far away from here. Dear God,
make me a bird...So I can fly far… Forrest:
Mama always said that God is mysterious. He didn?t turn Jenny into a bird that day. Instead, he had the police say that Jenny didn?t have to stay in that house no more. She went to live with her grandma, just over on Greekmore Ave., which made me happy …cause she was so close. Some nights, Jenny would sneak out? and come on over
? sneak out: 蹑手蹑脚地出来，溜出来
to my house, just? cause she said she was scared. Scared of what? I don?t know.But I think it was her grandma?s dog. He was a mean? dog. Anyway, Jenny and me was best friends all the way up through high school.
Bully1: Hey! Stupid.
Jenny: Quit it! Run, Forrest! Run!
Bully1: Hey !Did you hear me, stupid?
Bully2: Get in the truck. Move it. C?mon, he?s getting away.
Jenny: Run, Forrest! Run!
Forrest: Now, it used to be, I ran to get where I was going. I never thought it would take
me anywhere.
Football Coach: Who in the hell is that? Assistant Coach: That there is Forrest Gump, Coach. Just the local idiot.
Forrest: Can you believe it? I got to go to college too.
Football Player: Run! Move it!
Forrest: OK!
Coach: He must be the stupidest son-of-a-bitch?alive, but he sure is fast.
Forrest: Now, maybe it?s just me.But college was
a very confusing times.
News man:
Federal troops enforcing a court order integrated?the University of Alabama today. Two negroes were admitted but only after governor George Wallace had carried out his symbolic threat to stand in the schoolhouse door.
Gump: Eart! What?s going on?
Student:: Coons? are trying to get into school. Gump:
Coons? When raccoons?try to get on our back porch, mama just chases?em off with a broom.
? mean: bad-tempered, liking to bite 恶意的，脾气暴躁的，凶残的
? son of a bitch: 狗崽子（粗口）
? integrate: 取消（种族）隔离，使社区融合（尤指种族间）

? raccoon: 浣熊Student:: Not raccoons, you idiot, niggers. And they want to go to school with us. Gump: With us? They do?
News man:
Shortly after governor Wallace had carried out his promise to block the door way, President Kennedy ordered the Secretary of Defense then to use military force. Here, by video tape is the encounter by General Gram, Commander of the National Guard and governor Wallace... And so it is that the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa had been desegregated?and Student:s Jimmy Hood and Vivian Malone had been signed up for summer classes.
Gump: Ma?am, you dropped your book, Ma?am.
News man: Governor Wallace did what
he promised to do by being on the
Toscaloosa campus...
Coach 1: Hey, wasn?t that Gump?
Coach 2: No, that couldn?t be.
Coach 3: Sure as hell was.
Forrest:
A few years later, that angry little man at the schoolhouse door thought it?d be a good idea and ran for President. But somebody thought that it wasn?t. But he didn?t die.
Lady: My bus is here.
Gump: Is that the No.9?
Lady: No, it?s the No.4.
Forrest: It was nice talking to you.
Mother: I remember when that happened, when Wallace got shot. I was in college. Forrest: Did you go to a girls? college or a girls?and boys? together college?
Mother: It was co-ed?.
Forrest: cause Jenny went to a college I couldn?t go to. It was a college just for girls. But,
I?d go and visit her every chance I got. Jenny: Oh! That hurts.
Jenny: Forrest! Forrest! Stop it! What are you doing?!
? desegregate: 废除（种族隔离）
? co-ed: co-educational，男女同校
Forrest: He?s hurting you . Boy friend: What the hell is going on here? Who is that? Jenny: Billy, I?m sorry.
Billy: Just keep away from me.
Jenny: Don?t go. Billy, wait a second. He doesn?t know any better. Forrest! Why?d you do
that?
Forrest: I brought you some chocolate. I?m sorry.
I?ll go back to my college now. Jenny: Forrest, look at you. C ome on… Do you ever dream, Forrest, of who you?re
going to be?
Forrest: Who I?m going to be?
Jenny: Yeah. Forrest: Ain?t I going to be me? Jenny:
You?ll always be you, just another kind of you. I want to be famous. I want to be a singer like Joan Baez. I just want to be on an empty stage with my guitar and my voice. Just me. And I want to reach people on a personal level. I want to be able to say things, just one to one... Have you ever been with a girl, Forrest?
Forrest: I sit next to them in my Home Economics class all the time... Oh, I?m sorry. Jenny: It?s OK. It?s all right. It?s OK.
Forrest: Oh, I?m dizzy.
Jenny: I bet that never happened in Home Ec?. Forrest: No. I think I ruined your roommate?s bathrobe.
Jenny: I don?t care. I don?t like her anyway. Forrest: College ran by real fast …cause I played so much football. They even put me on a
thing called the All-American Team,
where you get to meet the President of
the United States.
News man: President Kennedy met with the collegiate All-American Football Team
at the oval office today.
Forrest: Now the really good thing about meeting the President of the United States is the
food. They put you in this little room
with just about anything you?d want to ? Home Ec: 家政学
eat or drink. But since, number one, I
wasn?t hungry but thirsty, and number
two, they was free, I must have drank
me about fifteen Doctor Peppers?. Kennedy: Congratulations. How does it feel to be in All-American?
Athlete1: It?s an honor, sir.
Kennedy: Congratulations. How does it feel to be an All-American?
Athlete2: Very good, sir.
Kennedy: Congratulations. How do you feel? Forrest: I gotta pee?.
Kennedy: I believe he said he had to go pee. Forrest:
Some time later, for no particular reason, somebody shot that nice young President when he was riding in his car. And a few years after that, somebody shot his little brother, too. Only he was in a hotel kitchen. Must be hard being brothers. I wouldn?t know.
MC?: Forrest Gump.
Forrest: Now can you believe it? After only five years of playing football, I got a college
degree.
MC: Congratulations, son.
Forrest: Mama was so proud.
Mrs.Gump:Forrest, I?m so proud of you. Here I?ll hold this for you.
Recruiting officer: Congratulations, son. Have you given any thought to your future? Forrest: Thought?

army now.
Soldier1: Seat?s taken.
Soldier2: Taken.
Forrest: At first, it seemed like I?d made a mistake.
Seeing how it was only my induction
day and I was already gettin? yelled at. Bubba: Sit down if you want to.
Forrest: I didn?t know who I might meet or what they might ask.
Bubba: You ever been on a real shrimp boat? Forrest: No. But I?ve been on a real big boat. Bubba:
I?m talking about a shrimp catching boat. I?ve been working on shrimp boats all my life. I started out on my uncle?s boat, that?s my mama?s brother, when I was about maybe nine. I was just lookin?into buying a boat of my own and got drafted?. My given name is Benjamin Buford Blue. People call me Bubba. Just like one of them old redneck boys. Can you believe that?
Forrest: My name?s Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.
Forrest: So Bubba was from Bayou La Batre, Alabama and his mama cooked shrimp,
and her mama before her cooked shrimp,
and her mama before her mama cooked
shrimp too. Bubba?s family knew
everything there was to know about the
shrumpin business.
Bubba: I know everything there is to know about the shrimpin? business. (As a) matter of
fact I?m going into the shrimpin?
business for myself, after I get out of the
army.
Forrest: OK.
(In training)
Drill Seargent: Gump! What?s your sole purpose in this army?
Forrest: To do whatever you tell me, Drill Surgent!
Drill Sergent: Goddamn it! Gump. You?re a goddamn genius. That is the most
? got drafted: 被征兵
outstanding answer I?ve ever heard. You
must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You
are goddamn gifted, Private Gump.
Listen up, people...
Forrest:
Now for some reason, I fit in the army like one of them round pegs. It?s not really hard. You just make your bed real neat? and remember to stand up straight. And always, answer every question with “Yes, Drill Sergeant.”
Drill Sergeant: Is that clear?
All Soldier s: Yes, Drill Sergeant! Bubba: What you do is drag your nets along the
bottom. On a good day, you can catch
over a hundred pounds of shrimp.
Everything goes all right, two men
shrimpin? ten hour...less what you spend
on gas . Forrest: Done! Drill Sergeant. Drill Sergeant: Gump! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump? Forrest: You told me to, Drill Sergeant.
Drill Sergeant:
Jesus H. Christ! This is a new company record. If it wouldn?t be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted man, I would recommend you for OCS?, Private?Gump. You are going to be a general, someday, Gump. Now, disassemble your weapon and continue.
Bubba:
Anyway, like I was saying, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it, shrimp kakabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried, there?s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp in potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich... that?s about it.
Forrest:
Nighttime in the army is a lonely time. We?d lay there in our bunks?, and I?d miss my mama and
? neat: 干净的，整洁的
? OCS: Officer Candidate School 美国的军官预备学校
? private: 列兵，美国士兵中的最低军衔
? bunk: 上下铺
I?d miss Jenny.
Soldier: Hey, Gump. Get a load of? the tits on her. Forrest:
Turns out, Jenny had gotten into some trouble over some photos of her and her college sweater, and she was thrown out of school. But that wasn?t a bad thing, because a man who owns a theater in Memphis, Tennessee saw those photos and offered Jenny a job singing in a show. The first chance I got, I took the bus up to Memphis to see her perform in that show.
Announcer:
Give her a big hand, guys. Good job, Amber. And now for your listening and viewing pleasure, direct from Hollywood, California, our very own beatnik? beauty, let?s give a big round of applause to the luscious? Bobbie Dylan.
Jenny: (Singing a famous Bob Dylan song) Jenny: How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
Yes .and how many seas must the white
dove sail,
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the
cannon balls
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend ,is blowing in the
wind .
Forrest: Her dream had come true. She was a folk singer.
Jenny: Hey, you stupid jerk?. I?m singing a song here. Harry, get out here. Shut up!
Forrest. What are you doing here? What
are you doing? Let me down! ... (outside)
You can?t keep doing this, Forrest. You
can?t keep trying to rescue me all the
time.
Forrest: They was trying to grab? you.

Forrest: I can?t help it. I love you.
Jenny: Forrest, you don?t know what love is. You remember that time we prayed, Forrest?
We prayed for God to turn me into a bird
so I could fly far far away.
Forrest: Yes, I do.
Jenny: You think I could fly off this bridge? Forrest: What do you mean, Jenny?
Jenny: Nothing .I gotta get out of here. Forrest: Wait, Jenny.
Jenny: Forrest, you just stay away from me. OK?
You stay away from me, please. (to
Driver) Can I have a ride?
Driver: Where you going? Jenny: I don?t care. Driver: Get in the truck.
Forrest: Bye bye, Jenny. They?re sending me to Vietnam. It?s this whole other country. Jenny: (to Driver) Just hang on a minute. (to Forrest) Listen, You promise me
something, OK? If you?re ever in
trouble, don?t try to be brave. You just
run, OK? Just run away.
Forrest: OK. Jenny. I?ll write you all the time. Forrest: And just like that, she was gone.
Mrs.Gump:You come back safe to me. Do you hear?
(In Vietnam)
Song: Some guys were born to wave to the flag Ooh, they’re red, white, and blue.
And when the band plays “Hail To The
Chiep”
Ooh, they’ll point the cannon at you
It ain’t me.It ain’t me
I ain’t no senaton’s son
Forrest: Now they told us that Vietnam was going to be very different from the Untied
States of America. Except for all the
beer cans and the barbecue?, it was. Bubba:
? barbecue: 烧烤
I bet there?s shrimp all in these waters. They tell me these Vietnams is good shrimp. After we win this war, and we take over something, we can get American shrimpers to come out and shrimp these waters. Just shrimp all the time, man. So much shrimp...
Dan: You must be my FNGs?.
Gump and Bubba: Morning, Sir! (saluting Dan) Dan: Get your hands down. Do not salute me.
There are goddam snipers?all around
this area who would love to grease? an
officer. I?m Lieutenant Dan Tayler.
Welcome to 4th Platoon.? What?s wrong
with your lip?
Bubba: I was born with big gums, sir.
Dan: Yeah, well you better tuck that in?. You?re going to get that caught on a tripwire?.
Where are you boys from in the world? Gump and Bubba: Alabama, sir!
Dan: You twins?
Gump: No, we are not relations, sir.
Dan:
Look, it?s pretty basic here. Stick with me, and you learn from the guys who have been in country for a while. You?ll be all right. There is one item of GI? gear? that can be the difference between a live grunt?and dead grunt, socks. Cushion sole, OD green?. Try and keep your feet dry. When we?re out humpin? I want you boys to remember to change your socks whenever we stop. The Mekong? will eat a grunt?s feet right off his legs. Supply officer: Seargent Sams.

Gump:
Lieutenant Dan sure knew his stuff. I felt real lucky he was my lieutenant. He was from a long, great, military tradition. Somebody in his family had fought, and died, in every single American war.
Dan: Goddamit, kick some ass!
Gump: I guess you could say he had a lot to live up to.
Dan:
So, you boys from Arkansas, huh? Well, I?ve been through there. Little Rock is a fine town. Now, go shake down your gear. See a platoon Seargent. Draw what you need for the field. If you boys are hungry, we?ve got steaks burning right over here. Two standing orders in this platoon, one: take good care of your feet, two: try not to do anything stupid like getting yourself killed.
Gump: I sure hope I don?t let him down. Forrest:
I got to see a lot of the countryside. We would take these real long walks and we were always looking for this guy named Charlie It wasn?t always fun. Lieutenant Dan was always getting these funny feelings about a rock or a trail or the road. So he?d tell us to “Get down!” “Shut up!” So we did. Now I don?t know much about anything, but I think some of America?s best young men served in this war. There was Dallas. Form Phoenix. Cleveland, he was from Detroit. And Tex... well, I don?t remember where Tex comes from.
Dan: Ah, it was nothin?. 4th Platoon on your feet.
You?ve got 10 klicks?to go …til that river.
Move out.
Forrest: The good thing about Vietnam is there was always some place to go.
Dan: Fire in the hole! Now, check out that hole. Forrest:
And there was always something to do. One day, it ? Sons-of-bitches: 亦作SOB，（粗口）狗崽子
? klicks: （俚）公里
started raining. And it didn?t quit for four months.
We?ve been through every kind of rain there is. A little bit of stinging?rain. And big old fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot?! It even rained at night.
Bubba: Hey, Forrest?
Gump: Hey, Bubba.
Bubba:
I?m going to lean against you. You just lean right back against me. This way, we don?t have to sleep with our heads on the mud. You know why we?re a good partnership, Forrest? …Cause we be watchin?out for one another. Like brothers and stuff. Hey, Forrest. There?s somethin? I?ve been thinkin?…bout. I?ve got a very important question to ask you. How would you like to go into the shrimpin?business with me?
Gump: OK.
Bubba:
Man, I?ll tell you what. I?ve got it all figured out too. So many pounds of shrimp to pay-off the boat. So many pounds for gas. We can just live right on the boat. We ain?t got to pay no rent. I?ll be the captain and we can just work it together. Split everything right down the middle. Man, I?m telling you, 50-50. Now hey, Forrest, all the shrimp you can eat.
Gump: That?s a fine idea.
Forrest:
Bubba did have a fine idea. I even wrote Jenny and told her all about it. I sent her letters, not everyday, but almost. I told her what I was doing, and asked her what she was doing. And told her how I thought about her always, and how I was looking forward to getting a letter from her, just as soon as she had the time. I?d always let her know that I was OK. Then I signed each letter “Love, Forrest Gump” .. One day, we was out walking, like always and then, just like that, somebody turned off the rain and the sun come out.
? stinging: 带刺的
? shoot: 此处同shit (fighting in the jungle)
Dan: Run, goddammit! Run!
Forrest:
I ran and ran, just like Jenny told me to. I ran so far so fast, that pretty soon, I was all by myself, which was a bad thing. Bubba was my best good friend, I had to make sure that he was OK. And on my way back to find Bubba, well there was this boy lying on the ground. I couldn?t just let him lay there all alone, scared the way he was, so I grabbed him up and run him out of there. And every time I went back looking for Bubba, somebody else was saying “Help me, Forrest. Help me.” I started to get scared that I might never find Bubba.
Dan: I know my position. There?s Dan ger close.
We got Charlie all over this area. I got to
have those fast-movers?in there now,
over.
Gump: Lieutenant Dan, Coleman is dead.
Dan: I know he?s dead. My whole goddamm platoon is wiped out. Gaddamn it! What
are you doing? You leave me here. Get
away. Get out. I said leave me here,
goddammit!
Radio: This is Strongarm. Your first movers are inbound? at this time, over.
Forrest: Then, it felt like somethin? just jumped up and bit me.
Dan: I can?t leave the platoon. I told you to leave me there, Gump! Forget about me. Get
yourself out. Did you hear what I said?
God Dan mit, put me down. Get your ass
out of here. I didn?t ask you to pull me
out of there, goddamn you. Where the
hell do you think you?re going? Gump: To get Bubba.
Dan: I?ve got an airstrike inbound right now.
They?re going to napalm?the whole
area. Gump, you stay here, goddammit. ? fast-movers: 轰炸机
? inbound: 进入指定区域
? napalm: 用固体燃烧汽油弹轰炸
That?s? an order!
Gump: I gotta find Bubba!
Bubba: Forrest. OK, Forrest. I?m OK.
Gump: Oh, Bubba. No.
Bubba: I?ll be alright.
Forrest: If I had known this was going to be the last time me and Bubba was going to
talk, I?d have thought of something
better to say.
Gump: Hey, Bubba.
Bubba: Hey, Forrest. Forrest? Why did this happen?
Gump: You got shot.
Forrest: Then, Bubba said somethin?I won?t never forget.
Bubba: I want to go home.
Forrest:
Bubba was my best good friend, and even I know that ain?t somethin?you can find just around the corner. Bubba, was going to be a shrimpin?boat captain. But instead, he died right there by that river in Vietnam. That?s all I have to say about that. Man: It was a bullet, wasn?t it? Forrest: A bullet? Man: That jumped up and bit ya.
Forrest:
Oh, yes sir. It bit me directly in the buttocks?. They said it was a million dollar wound but the army must keep that money because I still haven?t seen a nickel of that million dollars. The only good thing about being wounded in the buttocks is the ice cream. They gave me all the ice cream I could eat. And guess what? A good friend of mine was in the bed, right next door.
Gump: Lieutenant Dan. I got you some ice cream.
Lieutenant Dan, Ice cream!
Nurse: It?s time for your bath lieutenant.
Dan: Harper ,Cooper ,Larson. Webster. Gump.
Gump.
Gump: I?m Forrest Gump.
Dan: Pile, Nichols Maclviill . Johnson.

? buttock: 臀部Soldier:
Gump, how can you watch that stupid shit? Turn it off .Good. Catch! Gump. You know how to play this? C?mon, let me show you. Now the secret to this game is, no matter what happens, never, ever take your eye off the ball. All right.
Forrest:
For some reason, Ping-pong came very natural to me. So I started playing it all the time. I played Ping-pong even when I didn?t have anyone to play Ping-pong with. The hospital people said, it make me look like a duck in water, whatever that means. Even Lieutenant Dan would come and watch me play. I played Ping-pong so much, I even played it in my sleep.
Dan:
You listen to me. We all have a destiny?. Nothing just happens, it?s all part of a plan. I should have died out there with my men. But now, I?m nothing but a goddamn cripple. A legless freak?. Look. Look at me. Do you know what it?s like not to be able to use your legs?
Gump: Yes, sir. I do.
Dan:
Did you hear what I said? You cheated me. I had a destiny. I was supposed to die in the field, with honor. That was my destiny and you cheated me out of it. Do you understand what I?m saying, Gump. This wasn?t supposed to happen. Not to me.
I had a destiny. I was Lieutenant Dan Taylor. Gump: You still Lieutenant Dan.
Dan: Look at me. What am I going to do now?
What am I going to do now?
Officer: PVT?Gump.
Gump: Yes, sir!
Officer: As you were. Son, you?ve been awarded the medal of honor.
Gump: Guess what, Lieutenant Dan. They want to give me.... Ma?am, what did they do
with Lieutenant Dan?

PARTTHREE
MILITARYSERVICE(II):NATIONAL CELEBRITY
Newsman:
The ceremony was kicked off with a candid?speech by the President, regarding the need for further escalation?of the War in Vietnam. President Johnson awarded for medals of honor?to men from each of the armed services. Johnson:
America owes you a debt of gratitude?, son. I understand you were wounded. Where were you hit?
Gump: In the buttocks, sir. Johnson: That must be
a sight. I?d kinda like to see that. ...
Goddamn, son.
Forrest:
After that, mama went to a hotel to lay down, so I went out for a walk to see our nation?s capital. It?s a good thing mama was restin?… cause the streets were awfully crowded with people looking at all the statues and monuments?and some of them people were loud and pushy. Everywhere I went, I had to stand in line.
President: Hey, you?re a good man for doing this.
Do it!
Forrest: There was this man givin?a little talk, now for some reason, he was wearing an
American flag for a shirt. And he liked
to say the F word a lot. F this and F that.
And every time he said the F word,
people for some reason, well, they
cheered.

man.

Man in crowd: We can?t hear you! We can?t hear anything! Speak up!
Gump: .... and that?s all I have to say about that. Protester: That?s so .Right on, man. You said it all.What?s your name, man?
Gump: My name is Forrest. Forrest Gump. Protester: Forrest Gump.
Jenny: Forrest! Forrest!
Gump: Jenny! Forrest: It was the happiest moment of my life. Jenny and me was
just like peas and carrots again. She
showed me around and even introduced
me to some of her new friends.
Black Panther: Shut that blind?, man. And get your white ass away from that window.
Don?t you know we in a war here. Jenny: He?s cool. He?s cool. He?s one of us. Black Panther: Let me tell you about “us”. Our purpose here is to protect our black
leaders from the racial onslaught? of the
pig?who used to brutalize our black
leaders, rape our women and destroy our
black communities.
Westley: Who?s the baby-killer?
Jenny: This is my good friend I told you about.
This is Forrest Gump. Forrest, this is
Westley. Westley and I lived together in
Berkeley. He?s the President of the
Berkeley chapter? of SDS?.
Black Panther:

Let me tell you something else. We are here to offer protect and help to all those who need our help because we, the Black Panthers?, are against the war in Vietnam. Yes, we are against any war where black Soldier s are sent to the front-line to die for a country that hates them. Yes, we are against any war where black Soldier s go to fight and come to be brutalized and killed in their own communities as they sleep in their beds at night. Yes, we are against....
Westley: I shouldn?t have brought you here. I should have known it was just going to
be some bullshit hassle?.
Gump: He should not be hitting you, Jenny. Jenny: Come on, Forrest.
Gump: Sorry, I had a fight in the middle of your Black Panther Party.
Jenny: He doesn?t mean it when he does things like this.
Gump: I would never hurt you, Jenny.
Jenny: I know you wouldn?t, Forrest.
Gump: I wanted to be your boyfriend.
Jenny: That uniform is a trip, Forrest. You look handsome in it! You do.
Gump: You know what?
Jenny: What?
Gump: I?m glad we are here together in our nation?s capital.
Jenny: Me too, Forrest.
Forrest: We walked around all night, Jenny and me, just talkin?. She told me about all
the traveling she?d done. How she
discovered ways to expand?her mind
and learn how to live in harmony?,
which must be out west somewhere
…cause she made it all the way to
California.

Gump: I wish you wouldn?t go, Jenny.
Jenny: I have to, Forrest.
Westley: Jenny, things got a little out of hand. It?s just this war and that lying
son-of-a-bitch Johnson. I would never
hurt you. You know that.
Gump: You know what I think. I think you should go home to Greenbow, Alabama! Jenny: Forrest，we have very different lives，you know.
Gump: I want you to have this.
Jenny: Forrest, I can?t keep this.
Gump: I got it just by doing what you told me to do.
Jenny: Why are you so good to me?
Gump: You?re my girl.
Jenny: I?ll always be your girl. Forrest: And just like that, she was gone，out of my life
again.
Neil Armstrong (Astronaut): That?s one small step for a man, a giant leap? for mankind... Forrest:
I thought I was going back to Vietnam but instead they decided the best way for me to fight the communists? was to play Ping-pong. So I was in the special services, traveling around the country, cheering up all those wounded veterans?and showin? how to play Ping-pong. I was so good that some years later, the army decide that I should be on the All-American Ping-pong Team. I was the first American to visit the land of China in like a million years or something like that. Somebody said world peace was in our hands. But all I did was to play Ping-pong. When I got home, I was a national celebrity?. Famouser even than Captain Kangaroo.

TV Host: Can you tell us, what was China like? Forrest: In the land of China, people hardly got nothin?at all.
John: No possessions??
Forrest: And in China, they never go to church. John: No religion?, too？
TV Host: Wow. It?s hard to imagine?.
John: Well, it?s easy if you try, Dick. Forrest: Some years later, that nice young man
from England was on his way home to
see his little boy, and was signing some
autographs?. For no particular reason at
all, somebody shot him.
Dan: They gave you, the congressional? Medal of Honor.
Gump: Now that?s Lieutenant Dan. Lieutenant Dan!
Dan: They gave you the congressional Medal of Honor.
Gump: Yes, sir. They surely did.
Dan: They gave you, an imbecile?, a moron who goes on television and makes a fool out
of himself, in front of the whole damn
country, the congressional Medal of
Honor.
Gump: Yes, sir.
Dan: Well, that?s just perfect. Well I?ve one thing to say to that Goddamn bless America.
Whoa!
Forrest: Lieutenant Dan said he was living in a hotel and he said because he didn?t have

I didn?t know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir. Dan: Ha! That?s all these cripples down at the V A?. That?s all they ever talk about. Jesus this and Jesus that. Have I found Jesus? They even had a priest come and talk to me. He said “God is listening, but I have to help myself. Now if I accept Jesus into my heart, I?ll get to walk beside h im in the kingdom of heaven.” Did you hear what I said? “Walk”beside him in the kingdom of heaven. Well, kiss my crippled ass. God is listening? What a crock? of shit.
Gump: I?m going to heaven, Lieutenant Dan. Dan: Huh? Well before you go, why don?t you get your ass down to the corner and get us
another bottle of ripple?. (later) What
the hell is in Bayou La Batre? Gump: Shrimpin? boats.
Dan: Shrimpin?boats? Who gives a shit about shrimpin? boats?
Gump: I?m gonna buy me one of them shrimpin?boats as soon as I have some money. I
made me a promise to Bubba in
Vietnam, that as soon as the war was
over we?d go in partners. He?d be the
captain of the ship. I?d be his first mate.
But now that he?s dead, that means I
gotta be the captain.
Dan: A shrimpin? boat captain?
Gump: Yes, sir. A promise is a promise, Lieutenant Dan.
Dan: Ha-Ha! Now hear this. Private Gump here is going to be a shrimp boat captain! I?ll
tell you what, Gillian?, the day that you ? V A:Veterans?Adiministration 退伍军人管理局

are a shrimp boat captain, I will come
and be your first mate. If you?re ever a
shrimp boat captain, that?s the day I?m
an astronaut.
Carla: Dan ny, what are you waving about? Lenora: Who?s your friend?
Gump: My name?s Forrest. Forrest Gump. Dan: This is cunning Carla and Long-Limbs Lenora.
Lenora: Where you been baby cakes? Huh? I haven?t seen you around lately. You
know you should have been here for
Christmas because Tommy bought a
round on the house and gave everybody
a turkey sandwich.
Dan: Well, well. I had company.
Lenora: Hey, hey! We was just there. That?s Times Square.
Carla: Don?t you just love New Years? You can start all over. Everybody gets a second
chance.
Forrest: It?s funny. But in the middle of all that fun, I began to think about Jenny,
wondering how she was spending her
New Years in California.(later) Happy
New Year, Lieutenemt Dan.
(In Dan’s hotel)
Carla: What? Are you stupid or something?
What?s your problem? What?s his
problem? Did you lose your pecker?in
the war or something?
Lenora: What? Is your friend stupid or something?
Dan: What did you say?
Lenora: I said “Is your friend stupid or something?”
Dan: Don?t call him stupid.
Carla: Don?t push her.
Dan: You shut up. Don?t you ever call him stupid.
Get the hell out of here.
Lenora: You should be in a sideshow?! You ? pecker: （鄙俗语）阴茎
? sideshow: 马戏、杂技的穿插表演

Carla: You loser. You freak.
Gump: I?m sorry I ruined your New Year Eve party Lieutenant Dan. She tastes like
cigarettes.
Forrest: I guess Lieutenant Dan figured there were some things you just can?t change.
He didn?t want to be called crippled just
like I didn?t want to be called stupid. Dan: Happy New Year, Gump.
Newsman: The US Ping-pong Team met with President Nixon today at a ... Forrest: And wouldn?t you know it, a few months later, they invited me and the Ping-pong
team to visit the White House, so I went,
again. And I met the President of the
United States, again. Only this time they
didn?t get us rooms in real fancy? hotels. Nixon: So are you enjoying yourself in our nation?s capital, young man?
Gump: Yes, sir.
Nixon: Well, where are you staying?
Gump: It?s called the Hotel Ebot.
Nixon: No, no, no. I know a much nicer hotel, It?s brand new?, very modern. I?ll have my
people take care of it for you.
(that night)
Man on telephone: Security?, Frank Wells. Gump: Yes, sir. You might want to send a maintenance?man over to that office
across the way. The lights are off and
they must be looking for a fuse box or
something …cause them flashlights,
they?re keeping me awake... Thank
you.Good night.

Service is up, son.
Gump: Does this mean I can?t play Ping-pong no more?
Officer: For the army it does.
Forrest: And just like that, my service in the United States Army was over. So I went
home.
PART FOUR SHRIMPING BOAT CAPTAIN
Gump: I?m home, Mama. Mrs.
Gump: I know, I know. Forrest: Now, when I got home, I had no idea. But mama had all
sorts of visitors.
Mrs.Gump:We?ve had all sorts of visitors, Forrest. Everybody wants you to use
their Ping- pong stuff. One man even
left a check for $25,000 if you?d be
agreeable? to saying you like using their
paddle?.
Gump: Oh, mama, I only like using my own paddle. Hi, Miss Louise.
Mrs.Gump:I know that. I know that. But it?s $25,000, Forrest. I thought maybe you
could hold it for a while see if it grows
on you.
Forrest: That mama. She sure was right. It?s funny how things work out. I didn?t stay home
for long because I?d made a promise to
Bubba and I always got to keep my
promise. So I went on down to Bayou
La Batre to meet Bubba?s family and
make their introduction. Mrs.Blue: Are
you crazy or just plain stupid? Gump:
Stupid is as stupid does, Mrs.Blue. Mrs.Blue: I guess.
? agreeable: 欣然同意的
? paddle: 乒乓球拍Gump: And of course, I paid my respect to Bubba himself.
Gump: Hey, Bubba. It?s me, Forrest Gump. I remember everything you said and I got
it all figured out. I?m taking the
$24,562.47 that I got, that?s left after a
new haircut and a new suit and took
mama out to a real fancy dinner and I
bought a bus ticket and three Dr.
Peppers.
Boat Salesman: Tell me something. Are you stupid or something?
Gump: Stupid is as stupid does, sir... That?s what?s left after me saying “When I was in
China on the All-American Ping Pong
team, I just loved playing ping pong
with my Flexolite ping pong paddle”,
which everyone knows isn?t true. But
mama said it was just a little white lie?
so it wouldn?t hurt nobody. So anyway,
I?m putting all that on gas, ropes, new
nets, a brand new? shrimpin? boat. Forrest: Now, Bubba told me everything he knew about shrimpin?. But you know what I
found out? Shrimpin? is tough.
Gump: I only caught five.
Boat Salesman: A couple more and you can have yourself a cocktail?. Hey, you ever think
about naming this old boat? It?s bad luck
to have a boat without a name. Forrest: I?d never named a boat before. But there was only one I could think of, the most
beautiful name in the wide world. Now I
hadn?t heard from Jenny in a long while.
But I thought about her a lot and I hoped
that whatever she was doing made her
happy. (Jenny almost commits suicide)
I thought about Jenny all the time. Gump: Lieutenant Dan! What are you doing here?
? white lie: 无伤大雅的谎言
? brand new: 崭新的
? cocktail: 鸡尾酒，此处指shrimp cocktail，一种虾制的菜肴
Dan: Well, I thought I?d try out my sea-legs?. Gump: You ain?t got no legs, Lieutenant Dan. Dan: Yes, I know that. You wrote me a letter, you idiot. Well, well. Captain Forrest Gump.
I had to see this for myself. And, I told
you if you were ever a shrimp boat
captain, that I?d be your first mate. Well,
here I am. I am a man of my word. Gump: OK.
Dan: Yeah, but don?t you be thinking that I?m going to be calling you sir.
Gump: No, sir... (Crash!) That?s my boat.
Dan: I have a feeling if we head due? east, we?ll find some shrimp, so take a left.Take a
left.
Gump: Which way?
Dan: Over there. They?re over there. Get on the wheel and take a left.
Gump: OK.
Dan: Gump, what are you doing? Left! Take a left!
That?s where we?re going to find those
shrimp, my boy! Ha ha! That?s where
we?ll find …em.
Gump: Still no shrimp, Lieutenant Dan.
Dan: OK, so I was wrong.
Gump: How we gonna find them?
Dan: Maybe you should just pray for shrimp. Forrest: So I went to church every Sunday.
Sometimes Lieutenant Dan came too,
though I think he left the praying up to
me.
Gump: No shrimp.
Dan: Where the hell is this God of yours? Forrest: It?s funny Lieutenant Dan said that, because right then, God showed up.
Now, me, I was scared. But Lieutenant
Dan, he was mad.
Dan: Come on! You call this a storm? C?mon you son-of-a-bitch, it?s time for a
showdown?: you and me. I?m right here.
? sea-leg: 不晕船的本事；在颠簸的航船上行走自如的

? due: 正；不偏不斜
? showdown: 摊牌; 决一雌雄
Come and get me. You?ll never sink this
boat.
Newsman: Hurricane Carmen came through here yesterday, destroying nearly everything
in it?s path, and as in other towns up and
down the coast, Bayou La Batre?s entire
shrimping industry has fallen victim to
Carmen as has been left in utter?ruin.
Speaking with local officials, this
reporter has learned in fact only one
shrimping boat actually survived?the
storm.
Mrs.Gump:Louise. Louise, there?s Forrest. Forrest: After that shrimpin?was easy. Since people still needed them shrimps for
shrimp cocktails and barbecues and all
and we were the only boat left standing,
Bubba Gump shrimp is what they got.
We got a whole bunch of boats. Twelve
Jenny s. A big old warehouse?. We even
have hats that say Bubba Gump on them.
Bubba Gump Shrimp. It?s a household?
name.
Listener: Hold on there boy. Are you tellin?me that you?re the owner of the Bubba
Gump Shrimp Corporation?
Forrest: Yes, sir. We got more money than Davey Crocket.
Listener: Boy, I?ve heard some whoppers?in my time but that tops them all. We were
sittin? next to a millionaire.
Woman: Well, I thought it was a very lovely story and you tell it so well, with such
enthusiasm?.
Forrest: Would you like to see what Lieutenant Dan looks like?
Woman: Yes, I would.
Forrest: That?s him right there, and let me tell you ? utter: 完全的
? survive: 幸存
? warehouse: 仓库，货栈
? household: 家喻户晓的
? whopper: 弥天大谎
? enthusiasm: 认真，投入
something about Lieutenant Dan. Dan: Forrest, I never thanked you for saving my life.
Forrest: He never actually said so, but I think he made his peace with God.
Margo: Base to Jenny One. Base to Jenny One. Dan: Jenny One, go Margo.
Margo: Forrest had a phone call.
Dan: Well, you?ll have to tell them to call him back. He is indisposed? at the moment. Margo: His mama?s sick.
Gump: Where?s mama?
Louise: She?s upstairs.
Mrs.Gump:Hi, Forrest.
Doctor: I?ll see you tomorrow. Sure got you straightened out, didn?t we, boy? Gump: What?s the matter, mama?
Mrs.Gump:I?m dyin?, Forrest. Come on in, sit down over here.
Gump: Why are you dying, mama?
Mrs.Gump:It?s my time. It?s just my time. Oh, now don?t you be afraid, sweetheart.
Death is just a part of life, something we
are all destined to do. I didn?t know it,
but I was destined to be your mama. I
did the best I could.
Gump: You did good, mama.
Mrs.Gump:Well, I happen to believe you make your own destiny. You have to do the
best with what God gave you.
Gump: What?s my destiny, mom?
Mrs.Gump:You?re going to have to figure that out for yourself. Life is a box of chocolates,
Forrest. You never know what you?re
going to get.
Forrest: Mama always had a way of explaining things so that I could understand them. Mrs.Gump: I will miss you, Forrest.
Forrest: She had got the cancer and died on a Tuesday. I bought her a new hat with
little flowers on it. And that?s all I have
to say about that. Didn?t you say you ? indispose: 不方便
were waiting for the number seven bus? Woman: There?ll be another one along shortly.
PART FIVE FORREST&JENNY Forrest:
Now because I?d been a football star, and a war hero, and a national celebrity and a shrimpin? boat captain, and a college graduate, the city of Greenbow, Alabama decided to get together and offered me a fine job. So I never went back to work for Lieutenant Dan, though he did take care of my Bubba Gump money. He got me invested in some kind of fruit company so then I got a call from him saying we don?t have to worry about money no more and I said, “That?s good. One less thing.” Now mama said there?s only so much fortune a man really needs and the rest is just for showin? off. So, I gave a whole bunch of it to the Four Square Gospel Church and a whole bunch to the Bayou la Batre Fishing Hospital. Even though Bubba was dead, and Lieutenant Dan said I was nuts, I gave Bubba?s mama Bubba?s share?. You know what? She didn?t have to work in nobody?s kitchen no more and cause, I was a gozillionaire and I liked doing it so much, I cut that grass for free. But at night time when there was nothing to do and the house was all empty, I would always think of Jenny... And then, she was there. Jenny: Hello, Forrest.
Gump: Hello, Jenny.
Forrest:
Jenny came back and stayed with me. Maybe it was because she had nowhere else to go or maybe it was because she was so tired …cause she went to bed and slept and slept like she hadn?t slept in years. It was wonderful having her home. Everyday, we?d take a walk and I?d jabber?on like a monkey in a tree and she?d listen about Ping-ponging and shrimping and mama makin?a trip up to heaven. I did all the talking. Jenny most of the time was real quiet... Sometimes I guess
? share: 分红
? jabber: 急速而含混不清地讲话
there just aren?t enough rocks. I never really knew why she came back, But I didn?t care. It was like olden times. We was like peas and carrots again. Everyday, I?d pick pretty flowers and put them in her room for her. And she gave me the best gift anyone could ever get in the wide world. And she even showed me how to Dan ce. And well, we was like family, Jenny and me, and it was the happiest time in my life.
Jenny: You done watching it?
Gump: Will you marry me? I?d make a good husband, Jenny.
Jenny: You would, Forrest.
Gump: But you don?t want to marry me.
Jenny: You won?t marry me.
Gump: Why don?t you love me, Jenny? I?m not a smart man, but I know what love is.
( later) Jenny?
Jenny: Forrest, I do love you.
Man: Where are you runnin? off to?
Jenny: I?m not runnin?.
Forrest:
That day, for no particular reason I decided to go for a little run so I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there I thought maybe I?d run to the end of the town and when I got there, I thought, maybe I?d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured since I run this far, maybe I?ll just run across the great state of Alabama. And that?s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean, and when I got there, I figured since I?d gone this far, I might as well turn around and keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured since I?d gone this far, I might as well turn back and keep right on going. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate and when I had to go… you know, I went.
Woman: And so, you just ran.
Forrest: Yeah, I?d think a lot, about mama, and Bubba and Lieutenant Dan. But most of
all, I thought about Jenny. I thought
about her a lot.
Newsman: For more than two years now, a man
named Forrest Gump, a gardner from
Greenbow Alabama, stopping only to
sleep , has been running across
America....
Newsman: For the fourth time on his journey across America, Forrest Gump, a
gardener from Greenbow, Alabama is
about to cross the Mississippi River
again today....
Jenny: I?ll be damned. Newsman: Sir, why are you running?
News Woman: Are you doing this for world peace? Newsman: Are you doing this for the homeless? Newsman: Are you running for women?s rights? Newsman: Or for the environment? Newsman: Or for animals?
Forrest: They just couldn?t believe that someone would do all that running for no
particular reason.
News Woman: Why are you doing this?
Gump: I just felt like running.
Forrest: I just felt like running.
Jogger: It?s you! I can?t believe it?s really you. Forrest: Now for some reason what I was doing seemed to make sense to people. Jogger: I mean, it?s like an alarm went off in my head, you know. I said, here?s a guy
who?s got his act together?. Here?s
somebody who?s got it all figured out.
Here?s someone who has the answer. I?ll
follow you anywhere, Mr.Gump. Forrest:
So, I got company. And after that, I got more company, and then, even more people joined in. Somebody later told me it gave people hope. Now, I don?t know anything about that. But some of those people asked me if I could help them out. Man:
Hey man. Hey, listen, I was wondering if you might help me. I?m in the bumper?sticker?business and I?ve been trying to think up a good

slogan and since you have been such a big inspiration?to the people around you. I thought you might be able to... Whoa! Man, you just ran through a big pile of dog shit!
Gump: It happens.
Man: What? Shit?
Gump: Sometimes.
Forrest:
And some years later I heard that that fella did come up with a bumper sticker slogan and he made a lot of money out of it. Another time I was running along and somebody who had lost all his money in the T-shirt business. He wanted to put my face on a T-shirt, but he couldn?t draw that well and he didn?t have a camera.
Man: Here use this. Nobody likes that color anyway.
Gump: Have a nice day.
Forrest:
Some years later, I found out that man did comp up with an idea for a T-shirt. He made a lot of money out of it. Anyway, like I was saying, I had a lot of company. My mama always said, “you?ve got to put the past behind you before you can move on”. And I think that?s what my running was all about. I had ran for three years, two months, fourteen days and sixteen hours.
Runner: Quiet. Quiet. He?s going to say something.
Gump: I?m pretty tired. I think I?ll go home now. Runner: Now what are we supposed to do? Forrest: And just like that, my runnin?days was over. So I went home to Alabama.

Woman: Why, you don?t need take a bus, Herry Street is just five or six blocks down that

Forrest: You?re a mama, Jenny.
Jenny: I?m a mama. His name is Forrest. Forrest: Like me!
Jenny: I named him after his daddy.
Forrest: He?s got a daddy named Forrest, too? Jenny: You?re his daddy, Forrest. Hey, Forrest, look at me. There?s nothing you need to
do. You didn?t do anything wrong. OK?
Isn?t he beautiful?
Forrest: He?s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. But, is he smart or is he... Jenny: He?s very smart. He?s one of the smartest in his class. Yeah, it?s OK. Go talk to
him... Forrest, I?m sick.
Forrest: What, do you have a cough due to a cold? Jenny: I have some kind of virus? and the doctors don?t know what it is and there isn?t
anything they can do about it. Forrest: You can come home with me, Jenny. You and Little Forrest could come stay at my

your husband?
Jenny: Hey.
Forrest: Hey.
Jenny: Hey, Forrest. Were you scared in Vietnam? Forrest:
Yes, well, I don?t know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out and then it was nice; it was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou?. There was over a million sparkles? on the water. That mountain lake was so clear, Jenny, it looked like it was two skies, one on top of the other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up, I couldn?t tell where heaven stopped and the Earth began. It was so beautiful.
Jenny: I wish I could have been there with you. Forrest: You were.
Jenny: I love you.
Forrest:
You died on a Saturday morning and I had you placed here under our tree. And I had that house of your father?s bulldozed?to the ground. Mama always said dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn?t. Little Forrest is doing just fine. He?s about to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth everyday. I?m teachin?him how to play Ping-pong .He?s really good. We fish a lot, and every night we read a book. He?s so smart, Jenny. You?d be so proud of him. I am. He even wrote you a letter. He says I can?t read it. I?m not supposed to .It?s Forrest?s. So I?ll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don?t
