My only friend.

Now, my mama always told me that miracles happen every day.

Some people don’t think so, but they do.

Hey, dummy!

Are you retarded, orjust plain stupid?

“Look, I’m Forrest Gimp.”

JENNY: Just run away, Forrest.

Run, Forrest!

Run away!

Hurry!

Get the bikes!

BOY 1: Hurry up!

Let’s get him!

Come on!

Look out, dummy, here we come!

We’re gonna get you!

Run, Forrest, run!

Run, Forrest!

Come back here, you!

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!

BOY 1: He’s getting away!

Stop him!

That boy sure is a running fool.

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.

Jenny?

He was a very loving man.

He was always kissing and touching her and her sisters.

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

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

Daddy’s taking a nap.

MR. CURRAN: Jenny!

Come on!

MR. CURRAN: Jenny, where’d you run to?

You’d better get back here, girl!

Where you at?

Jenny!

Jenny!

Where you at?

Jenny!

Pray with me, Forrest.

Pray with me.

MR. CURRAN: Jenny!

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, far, far away from here.

Mama always said that God is mysterious.

Jenny!

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

You’d better get back here!

Instead, he had the police say Jenny didn’t have to stay in that house no more.

She went to live with her grandma just over on Creekmore Avenue, which made me happy, ‘cause she was so close.

Some nights, Jenny would sneak out and come on over 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.

Hey, stupid!

Quit it!

Run, Forrest, run!

Hey, did you hear me, stupid?

Run, Forrest!

Come on, get in the truck!

BOY 1: Get in the truck!

Let’s move it!

Come on, he’s getting away!

Move it!

Run, Forrest!

Run!

BOY 2: You better be running, stupid!

BOY 1: Come on, dummy!

Haul ass, dummy!

Yeah, you better get running!

Jack rabbit!

Yeah!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Run, Forrest!

Now, it used to be, I ran to get where I was going,

I never thought it would take me anywhere.

Who in the hell is that?

That there is Forrest Gump, Coach.

Just a local idiot.

FORREST: And can you believe it?

I got to go to college, too.

Forrest!

Forrest!

Run!

Okay!

Run!

Run, you stupid son of a bitch!

Run!

You son of a bitch!

Run!

Go!

Run!

No!

Turn!

Go!

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 very confusing times.

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 school house door.

KATZENBACH: Governor Wallace, I take it from that statement, that

Earl, what’s going on?

Coons are trying to get into school.

Coons?

When raccoons try to get on our back porch,

Mama just chase them off with a broom.

Not raccoons, you idiot, niggers, and they want to go to school with us.

With us?

They do?

REPORTER: Shortly after Governor Wallace had carried out his promise to block the doorway,

President Kennedy ordered the Secretary of Defense then to use military force.

Here, by videotape, is the encounter by General Graham, commander of the National Guard, and Governor Wallace. because these National Guardsmen are here today as federal soldiers for Alabamans.

They live within our borders, they are all our brothers.

We are winning in this fight, because we are awakening the American people to the dangers that we have spoken about so many times, just so evident today, the trend towards military dictatorship in this country.

REPORTER: And so, at day’s end, the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa had been desegregated and students Jimmy Hood and Vivian Malone had been signed up for summer classes.

Ma’am, you dropped your book.

Ma’am—

HUNTLEY: Governor Wallace did what he promised to do.

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

Say, wasn’t that Gump?

FORREST: A few years later, that angry little man at the school house door thought it would be a good idea and ran for president.

But somebody thought that it wasn’t.

But he didn’t die.

My bus is here.

Is it the number nine?

No, it’s the number four.

It was nice talking to you.

I remember when that happened, when Wallace got shot.

I was in college.

Did you go to a girls’ college, or to a girls-and-boys-together college?

It was co-ed.

‘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.

Forrest!

Forrest!

Forrest, stop it!

Stop it!

BILLY: Jesus!

What are you doing?

He was hurting you.

What the hell is going on here?

No, he’s not!

Get over there!

Who is that?

Who is that?

Billy, I’m sorry.

What the hell?

Just get away from me!

Don’t, Don’t go!

Billy, wait a second!

Get away from me.

He doesn’t know any better!

Forrest, why did you do that?

I brought you some chocolate.

I’m sorry.

I’ll go back to my college now.

Forrest—

Look at you.

Come on.

Come on.

Is this your room?

Shh!

Do you ever dream, Forrest,

CROWD: Run!

Run!

Run!

Run!

Run!

Run!

Run!

Run!

Run!

FORREST: College ran by real fast, ‘cause I played so much football.

They even put me on a thing called the All-America Team, where you get to meet the President of the United States.

REPORTER: 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.

And since, number one, I wasn’t hungry, but thirsty, and number two, they was free, I must have drank me about 15 Dr. Peppers.

KENNEDY: Congratulations.

How does it feel to be an All-American?

PLAYER 1: It’s an honor, sir.

KENNEDY: Congratulations.

How does it feel to be an All-American?

PLAYER 2: Very good, sir.

Congratulations.

How does it feel to be an All-American?

Very good, sir.

Congratulations.

How do you feel?

I gotta pee.

I believe he said he had to “go pee.”

FORREST: Sometime 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.

It must be hard being brothers.

I wouldn’t know.

Forrest Gump.

FORREST: Now can you believe it?

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

Congratulations, son.

Mama was so proud.

Forrest, I’m so proud of you.

Here, I’ll hold this for you.

Congratulations, son.

Have you given any thought to your future?

Thought?

Hello, I’m Forrest.

Forrest Gump.

Nobody gives a hunk of shit who you are, fuzzball!

You’re not even a low-life, scum-sucking maggot!

Get your faggotty ass on the bus.

You’re in the Army now!

This seat’s taken.

Taken.

FORREST: At first, it seemed like I made a mistake, seeing how it was only my induction day and I was already getting yelled at.

You can sit down if you want to.

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

You ever been on a real shrimp boat?

No, but I been on a real big boat.

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 looking 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?

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 shrimping business.

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

Matter of fact, I’m going into the shrimping business for myself after I get out the Army.
