Forrest Gump 05
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. Come 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 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?
PARTTWO,MILITARY SERVICE(I):FORREST IN VIETNAM
(Later, on the bus to basic training)
Forrest: Hello, I’m Forrest. Forrest Gump.
Bus Driver: Nobody gives a horse’s shit who you are, puss ball. You’re not even a lowlife,
scum-sucking maggot*. Get your maggoty ass on the bus. you’re in the army now.
Soldier1: Seat’s taken.
