Forrest: "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."

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."

Forrest: "I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they'd take me anywhere."

Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks): "Now when I was a baby mama named me after the great Cival 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 Kux Klan. They'ed all dress up in their robes and their bedsheets, And act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks or somethin'. They'ed even put bedsheets on their horses and ride around. And anyway, that's how I got my name: Forrest Gump. My 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 (Sally Field): "Don't ever let anybody tell you 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."

Principal (Sam Anderson): "Well, your mama sure does care about your schoolin', son. Mmm-mmm-mmm. You don't say much, do you?"
Young Forrest (Michael Conner Humphreys): "Eee! Eee! Eee! Eee! Eee! Eee!"

Young Forrest: "What's vacation mean?"
Mrs. Gump: "Vacation?"
Young Forrest: "Where Daddy went?"
Mrs. Gump: "Vacation's when you go samewhere... and you don't ever come back."

Forrest: "Some years later, that handsome young man who they called the King, well, he sung too many songs. Had himself a heart attack or something. It must be hard being a king."

Dorothy Harris, School Bus Driver (Siobhan J. Fallon): "Are you coming along?"
Young Forrest: "Mama said not to be taking rides from strangers."
School Bus Driver: "This is the bus to school."
Young Forrest: "I'm Forrest... Forrest Gump."
School Bus Driver: "I'm Dorothy Harris."
Young Forrest: "Well, now we ain't strangers anymore."

Forrest: "You know it's funny what a young man recollects? 'Cause I don't remember bein' born. I don't recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don't know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world."
Young Jenny Curran (Hanna R. Hall): "You can sit here if you want."

Young Forrest: "I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life. She was like an angel."

Young Jenny: "Are you stupid or something?"
Young Forrest: "Mama says, stupid is as stupid does."

Young Jenny: "I'm Jenny."
Young Forrest: "I'm Forrest... Forrest Gump."

Forrest: "From that day on, we was always together. Jenny and me was like peas and carrots."

Young Jenny: "Run, Forrest, run! Run, Forrest!"

Young Jenny: "(In slow motion) Run, Forrest, run!"

Forrest: "Now, you wouldn't beieve it if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I was running."

Crony: "That boy sure is a running fool."

Forrest: "Now, it used to be I ran to get where I was going. I never thought it would take me anywhere."

Forrest: "Earl, what's going on?"
Earl, Demonstration observer at Univ. of Alabama (Kirk Ward): "Coons are trying to get into school."
Forrest: "Coons? When raccoons tried getting on our back porch, Mama just chased them off with a broom."

Forrest: "A few years later, that angry little man at the schoolhouse door thought it'd be a good idea and ran for prenident. But somebody thought that it wasn't."

Jenny Curran (Robin Wright Penn): "Do you have a dream, Forrest, about who you're going to be?"
Forrest: "Who I'm going to be?"
Jenny: "Yeah."
Forrest: "Aren't I going to be me?"

Jenny: "Have you ever been with a girl, Forrest?"
Forrest: "I sit next to them in my home economics class all the time."

Jenny: "I bet that never happened in home ec."
Forrest: "No."

Forrest: "I think I ruined your roommate's bathrobe."

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."

JFK: "Congratulations. How do you feel?"
Forrest Gump: "I gotta pee."
JFK: "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."

Forrest: "Now can you believe it? After only five years of playing football, I got a college degree."

Forrest Gump: "Hello. I'm Forrest... Forrest Gump."
Army Bus Driver (Kenneth Bevington): "No body gives a horse's bleep who you are, pus ball! You're not even a low-life, scum-sucking maggot! Get your maggoty ass on the bus! You're in the Army now!"

Pvt. Benjamin Buford 'Bubba' Blue (Mykelti Williamson): "My givin name is Benjamin Buford Blue. People call me Bubba. just like one of them old redneck boys. Con you believe that?"
Forrest: "My names is 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."
Bubba: "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."
Forrest: "Okay."

Drill Sergeant (Afemo Omilami): "GUMP! What's your sole purpose in this army?"
Gump: "To do what ever you tell me, Drill Sergeant?"
Drill Sergeant: "Goddammit Gump, you're a bleep damn genius. That's the most outstanding answer I've ever heard. You must have a bleep damn IQ of 160! You're bleep damn gifted, Private Gump!"

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 real straight, and always answer every question with "Yes, Drill Seargeant."."
Drill Sergeant: "Is that clear?"
Forrest and Others: "Yes, Drill Seargent!"

Forrest Gump: "(sound of weapon being assembled) Done, Drill Seargent!"
Drill Seargent: "Gump! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?"
Forrest Gump: "You told me to, Drill Seargent."
Drill Seargent: "Jesus H. Christ! This is a new company record. If it wouldn't be a waste of such a damn fine enlisted man, I'd recommend you for OCS, Private Gump. You are going to be a general some day, Gump. Now, disassemble your weapon and continue. (sound of weapon being disassembled)"

Bubba: "Anyway, like I was saying, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's um shrimp cabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan-fried, deap-fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burgers, shrimp sandwich. That's, that's about it."

Forrest: "Her dream had come true. She was a folk singer."

Jenny: "You can't keep doing this all the time."
Forrest: "I can't help it. I love you."
Jenny: "Forrest, you don't know what love is."

Forrest: "So bye-bye, Jenny. They sending me to Vietnam. It's this whole other country."
Jenny: "Just hang on a minute. Liston, you promise me something, Okay? Just if you're ever in trouble, don't try to be brave. You just run, Okay? Just run away."
Forrest: "Okay."

Forrest: "And just like that, she was gone."

Forrest: "Now they told us that Vietnam was going to be very different frem the United States of America. Except for all the beer cans and barbecues, it was."

Bubba: "Hey, I'll bet there's shrimp all in these waters. They tell me these Vietnams is good shrimp. After we win this war and take over everything, we can get American shrimpers te come out here and shrimp these waters. Just shrimp all the time, man. Man, so much shrimp I can..."

Lt. Dan Taylor (Gary Sinise): "You must be my FNGs."
Bubba and Forrest: "Morning, sir."
Lt. Dan: "Oh, get your hands down. Do not salute me. There are gaddamn snipers all around this area who love to grease an officer."

Lt. Dan: "What's wrong with your lip?"
Bubba: "I was born with big gums, sir."
Lt. Dan: "Well, you better tuck that in. Gonna get that caught on a trip wire."

Lt. Dan: "Where you boys from in the world?."
Bubba and Forrest: "Alabama, Sir!"
Lt. Dan: "You twins?"
Forrest: "(long pause) No. We are not relations, Sir."

Lt. Dan: "There is one item of G.I. gear that can be the difference between a live grunt and a dead grunt. Socks. Cushioned sole, O.D. green. Try and keep your feet dry. When we're out humpin', I want you boys te remember to change your socks whenever we stop. The Mekong will eat a grunts feet right off his legs."

Lt. Dan: "So, you boys are from Arkansas, huh? Well, I been through there. Little Rock's a fine town."

Lt. Dan: "Two standing orders in this platoon: One, take good care of your feet, Two, try not to do anything stupid, like getting yourself killed."
Forrest: "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. ("All Along The Watchtower" Performed by The Jimi Hendrix Experience breaks in.) And we were always lookin' for this guy named Charlie."

Forrest Gump: "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."
Lt. Dan: "Get down! Shut up!"

Forrest: "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 from Phoenix. Cleveland, he was from Detroit."
Cleveland: "Hey, Tex. Hey, Tex. Man, what the hell's going on?"
Forrest: "And Tex was... Well I don't remember where Tex come from."

Forrest: "The good thing about Vietnam is there was always someplace to go."
Lt. Dan: "Fire in the hole! (explosion) Gump, check out that hole."
Forrest: "And there was always something to do."

Forrest: "One day it started raining, and it didn't quit for four months. We've been through every kind of rain there is: little bit of stinging rain, and big old fat rain, rain that flew in sideways, and sometimes rain even seemed to come strait up from underneath. Shoot, it even rained at night."

Forrest: "This one day, we was out walking like always, and then, just like that, somebody turned off the rain, and the sun come out."

Forrest: "I ran and ran just like Jenny told me to. I ran so far and so fast that pretty soon I was all by myself, which was a bad thing."

Forrest: "Then it felt like something just jumped up and bit me. Aah! Something bit me!"

Lt. Dan: "Aah! Aah! You son of a bitch! Aah!"

Lt. Dan: "Gump, you stay here, bleep damnit! That's an order!"
Forrest: "I gotta find Bubba!"

Forrest: "If I'd have known this was going to be the last me and Bubba was gonna talk, I'd of thought of something better to say. Hey, Bubba."
Bubba: "Hey, Forrest. Forrest, why did this happen?"
Forrest: "You got shot. Then Bubba said something I won't ever forget."
Bubba: "I want to go home."
Forrest: "Bubba was my best good friend. And evev I know that ain't something you can find just around the corner. Bubba was going to be a shrimping boat captain, but instead, he died right there by that river in Vietnam. That's all I have to say about that."

Forrest: "That's all I have to say about that."

Southern Gentleman (John Worsham): "It was a bullet, wasn't it?"
Forrest: "A bullet?"
Southern Gentleman: "That jumped up and bit you."
Forrest: "Oh. Yes, sir. Bit me directly in the but-tocks. They said it was a million dollar wound, but the army must keep that money, cause I still ain't seen a nickle of that million dollars."

Forrest: "The only good thing about being wounded in the but-tocks 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. Lieutenant Dan, I got you some ice cream. Lieutenant Dan, ice cream!"

Lt. Dan: "Now you liston 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 bleep damn cripple, a legless freak! Look. Look! Look at me! You see that? Do you know what it's like not to be able to use your legs?"
Forrest: "Y-Y-Yes, sir, I do."
Lt. 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 ou of it! 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."
Forrest: "Y-You still Lieutenant Dan."

Forrest: "There was this man giving a little talk. And 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."

Abbie Hoffman (Richard D'Alessandro): "Tell us a little bit about the war, man."
Forrest: "The war in Vietnam?"
Abbie Hoffman: "The war in Viet-bleep ing-nam!"

Forrest: "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 (Kevin Davis): "Shut that blind, man! And get your white ass away from that window. Don't you know we in a war here?"
Jenny: "Hey, man, he's cool. He's cool. He's one of us."
Black Panther (Michael Jace): "Let me tell you about us. Our purpose here is to protect our black leaders from the racial onslaught of the pig who wishes to brutalize our black leaders, rape our women, and destroy our black communities."

Forrest: "Sorry I had a fight in the middle of your Black Panther party."

Forrest: "I would never hurt you, Jenny."
Jenny: "I know you wouldn't, Forrest."
Forrest: "I wanted to be your boyfriend."

Forrest: "She told me about all the traveling she'd done and how she discovered ways to expand her mind and leard how to live in harmony, which must be out west somewhere, cause she made it all the way to California."

Forrest: "You know what I think? I think you should go home to Greenbow, Alabama!"

Forrest: "I want you to have this."
Jenny: "Forrest, I can't keep this."
Forrest: "I got it just by doing what you told me to do."
Jenny: "Why are you so good to me?"
Forrest: "You're my girl."
Jenny: "I'll always be your girl."

Lt. Dan: "They gave you the congressional Medal of Honor."
Forrest: "Now, that's Lieutenant Dan. Lieutenant Dan!"
Lt. Dan: "They gave you the congressional Medal of Honor."
Forrest: "Yes, sir. They surely did."
Lt. 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."
Forrest: "Yes, sir."
Lt. Dan: "Well, that, that's just perfect! Yeah, well, I got just one thing to say to that. bleep damn bless America."

Forrest: "What do you do here in New York, Lieutenant Dan?"
Lt. Dan: "I'm living off the government tit."

Lt. Dan: "Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?"
Forrest: "I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir."
Lt. Dan: "(Laughs.)"

Lt. Dan: "That's all these cripples down at the V.A.... That's all they ever talk about. Jesus this and Jesus that. Heh. 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 him 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 bleep ."
Forrest: "I'm going to heaven Lieutenant Dan."
Lt. Dan: "Oh? Well... before you go, why don't you get your ass down to the corner and get us another bottle of Ripple?"
Forrest: "Yes, sir."

Forrest: "I made me a promise to Bubba in Vietnam that as soon s the war was over, we'd go in partners. He'd be the captain of the shrimpin' boat, and I'd be his first mate. But now that he's dead, that means, I got to be the captain."
Lt. Dan: "A shrimp boat captain."
Forrest: "Yes, sir. A promise is a promise, Lieutenant Dan."
Lt. Dan: "Now hear this! Private Gump here is gonna be a shrimp boat captain. Well, I tell you what, Gilligan. The day you are a shrimp boat captain, I will come and be your first mate. If you're ever a shrimp boat captain, that's teh day I'm an astronaut!"

Forrest: "I'm sorry I ruined your New Year's Eve party, Lieutenant Dan. She tastes like cigarettes."

Forrest: "I guess Lieutenant Dan figured there's 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."

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."

Forrest: "So I went... again. And I met the president of the United States again. Only this time, they didn't get us rooms in a real fancy hotel."
President Richard Nixon (voice) (Joe Alaskey): "So are you enjoying yourself in our nations capitol, young man?"
Forrest: "Yes, sir."
Nixon (voice): "Well, where are you staying?"
Forrest: "It's called the Hotel Ebbott."
Nixon (voice): "Oh, 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."
Security: "Security, Frank Wells."
Forrest: "Yeah. Sir, you might want to send a matenance man over to that office across the way. The lights are off and they must be looking for a fuse box or semething, cause them flashlights, they're keeping me awake."
Security: "Okay, sir. I'll check it out."
Forrest: "Thank you."
Security: "No problem."
Forrest: "Good night."
President Richard Nixon: "Therefore, I shall risign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as president at that hour in this office."

Discharge Officer (Lazarus Jackson): "I have your discharge papers. Service is up, son."
Forrest: "Does this mean I can't play Ping-Pong no more?"
Discharge Officer: "For the army, it does."

Forrest: "And just like that, my service in the United States Army was over. So I went home."

Forrest: "I'm home, Mama."

Mrs. Blue, Bubba's Mother (Marlena Smalls): "Are you crazy or just plain stupid?"
Forrest: "Stupid is as stupid does, Mrs. Blue."
Mrs. Blue: "I guess."

Forrest: "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, then three Dr. Peppers."
Stanley Loomis: "Tell me something. Are you stupid or something?"
Forrest: "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 Flex-O-Lite Ping-Pong paddle." which everybody knows isn't true, but Mama said it was just a little white lie, so it wasn't hurting nobody. So anyway, I'm putting all that on gas, ropes, and new nets and a brand-new shrimping boat."

Stanley Loomis: "Are you stupid or something?"
Forrest: "Stupid is as stupid does, Sir."

Forrest: "Now Bubba told me everything he knew about shrimping, but you know what I found out? Shrimping is tough."

Forrest: "I only caught five."
Stanley Loomis: "A couple more, you can have yourself a cocktail."

Forrest: "Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?"
Lt. Dan: "Well, thought I'd try out my sea legs."
Forrest: "Well, you ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan."
Lt. 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."
Forrest: "Okay."
Lt. Dan: "But don't you be thinking that I'm going to be calling you "sir"."
Forrest: "No, sir."

Forrest: "No shrimp."
Lt. Dan: "Where the hell's this God of yours?"
Forrest: "It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that cause right then God showed up."

Lt. Dan: "You'll never sink this boat!"
Forrest: "Now, me, I was scared, but Lieutenant Dan, he was mad."
Lt. Dan: "Come on! You call this a storm? Blow, you son of a bitch, blow! It's time for a showdown! You and me! I'm right here! Come and get me! Ha ha! Ha ha! You'll never sink... this... boat! Ha ha ha ha!"

Local Correspondent #2 (Peter Bannon): "In fact, only one shrimping boat actually survived the storm."
Mrs. Gump: "Louise. Louise, there's Forrest."
Forrest: "After that, shrimping was easy."

Forrest: "Bubba Gump Shrimp. It's a household name."
Southern Gentleman: "Hold on there, boy. Are you telling me that you're the owner of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Corporation?"
Forrest: "Yes, sir. We got more money that Davy Crockett."
Southern Gentleman: "Boy, I heard some whoppers in my time, but that tops them all. We were sitting next to a millionaire."

Lt. 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."

Forrest: "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're all destined to do. I didn't know it, but I was dentined to be your mama. I did the best I could."
Forrest: "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."
Forrest: "What's my destiny, Mama?"
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 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."

Forrest: "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."."

Forrest: "Everyday we'd take a walk and I'd jabber on like a monkey in a tree, and she'd liston bout Ping-Ponging ond shrimping and Mama making the trip up to heaven. I did all the talking. Jenny most of the times was real quiet."

Forrest: "Sometimes I guess there just aren't enough rocks."

Forrest: "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."

Forrest: "Will you marry me? I'd make a good husband, Jenny."
Jenny: "You would, Forrest."
Forrest: "But you won't marry me."
Jenny: "You don't want to marry me."
Forrest: "Why don't you love me, Jenny? I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is."

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 town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. Now I figured since I'd run this far, maybe I'd 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, just keep on going. And when I got to another ocean, I figured since I'd gone this far I might as well just turn back and keep right on going. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go... you know... I went."

Hannibal Reporter #1 (Juan Singleton): "Why are you running?"
Hannibal Reporter #2 (Chiffonye Cobb): "Are you doing this for world peace?"
Hannibal Reporter #3 (Bobby Richardson): "Are you doing this for the homeless?"
Hannibal Reporter #2: "Are you running for women's rights?"
Local Correspondent #2 (Peter Bannon): "Or for the environment?"
Hannibal Reporter #1: "Or for amimals?"
Forrest: "They just couldn't believe that somebody would do all that running for no particular reason."
Hannibal Reporter #2: "Why are you doing this?"
Forrest: "I just felt like running. I just felt like runnin'."

Aging Hippie (Charles Boswell): "Hey, man. Hey, liston, I was wondering if you might help me, huh. Liston, I'm in the bumper sticker business. And I've been trying to think up a good slgan, and since you have been such a big inspiration to the people around here, I thought you might beable to help me... Whoa, man! You just ran through a big pile of dog bleep !"
Forrest: "It happens."
Aging Hippie: "What, bleep ?"
Forrest: "Sometimes. And some years later, I heard that that fella did come up with a bumper sticker slogan and he made a lot of money off of it."

Aging Hippie: "Whoa, man! You just ran through a big pile of dog bleep !"
Forrest: "It happens."
Aging Hippie: "What, bleep ?"
Forrest: "Sometimes."

Forrest: "Another time, I was running along. Somebody who'd 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."
Wild Eyed Man (Tim McNeil): "Here, use this one. Nobody likes that color anyway."
Forrest: "Have a nice day. Some years later, I found out that that man did come up with an idea for a T-shirt. He made a lot of money off of it."

Forrest: "My mama always said, "You got to put the post behind you berore you can move on.". And I think that's what my running was all about. I had run for three years, two months, 14 days, and 16 hours."

Young Man Running (Lenny Herb): "Quiet, quiet, he's gonna say something."
Forrest: "I'm pretty tired. I think I'll go home now."

Forrest: "And just like that, my runnin' days was over. So, I went home to Alabama."

Forrest: "This your house?"
Jenny: "Yeah. It's messy right now. I just got off work."
Forrest: "It's nice. You got air-conditioning."

Forrest: "I ran a long way, for a long time."

Jenny: "This is my very good friend Mr. Gump. Can you say hi to him?"
Forrest Gump Jr. (Haley Joel Osment): "Hello, Mr. Gump."
Forrest: "Hello."

Forrest: "You're a mama, Jenny."
Jenny: "I'm a mama. His name's Forrest."
Forrest: "Like me!"
Jenny: "I named him after his daddy."
Forrest: "He got a daddy named Forrest, too?"
Jenny: "You're his daddy, Forrest."

Jenny: "Isn't he beautiful?"
Forrest: "He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. But... is... is he smart? Or is he..."
Jenny: "He's very smart. He's one of the smartest in his class."

Jenny: "Forrest, I'm sick."
Forrest: "What, do you have acough due to a cold?"
Jenny: "I have some kind of virus, and the doctors don't... they don't know what it is and there isn't anything they can do about it."
Forrest: "You could come home with me. Jenny, you and... little Forrest could come stay at my house in Greenbow. I'll take care of you if you're sick."
Jenny: "Would you marry me, Forrest?"
Forrest: "Okay."

Forrest: "Lieutenant Dan."
Lt. Dan: "Hello, Forrest."
Forrest: "You got new legs. New legs!"
Lt. Dan: "Yeah. I got new legs. Custom-made. Titanium alloy. It's what they use on the space shuttle."
Forrest: "Magic legs."

Lt. Dan: "This... is my fiancee Susan."
Forrest: "Lieutenant Dan."

Jenny: "Were you scared in Vietnam?"
Forrest: "Yes. Well, I... 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 always a million sparkles on the water like that mountain lake, it was so clear, Jenny, it looked like there were two skies one on top of the other. And then in the deasert, when the sun comes up... I couldn't tell where the heaven stopped and the earth began. It was so beautiful."
Jenny: "I wish I could have been there with you."
Forrest: "You were."

Forrest: "I don't know if Mama was right or if it... it's Lieutinant Dan. I dan't know... if we each have a... destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze... but I... I think maybe it's both. Maybe both get happening at the same time. But I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need... I won't be far away."

School Bus Driver: "You understand this is the bus to school, now, don't you?"
Forrest Gump Jr.: "Of course, and you're Dorothy Harris, and I'm Forrest Gump."
