My mama always said: "Life, was like a box of chocolates.

"You never know what you're going to get. "

You know, it's funny how you remember some things,

but some things you can't.

You can sit here if you want.

What's wrong with your legs?

Um, nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and dandy.

- I'm Jenny. - I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.

From that day on, we was always together.

Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.

Sometimes, we'd just sit out and wait for the stars.

She was my most special friend.

My only friend.

Sit down if you want to.

You ever been on a real shrimp boat?

No. But I been on a real big boat.

I'm Lieutenant Dan Taylor. Welcome to Fort Platoon.

Where are you boy's from in the world?

- Alabama, sir! - You twins?

You know why we're a good partnership, Forrest?

'Cause we be watching out for one another,

If I'd have known this was going to be

the last time me and Bubba was gonna talk,

I'd of thought of something better to say.

- Hey, Bubba. - Hey, Forrest.

Bubba was my best good friend.

And even I know that ain't something

you can find just around the corner.

Well...

There was only one thing I could say about the war in Vietnam.

There's only one thing I can say about the war in Vietnam.

And that's all I have to say about that.

That's so right on, man. You said it all.

They gave you the congressional Medal of Honor.

Now, that's Lieutenant Dan.

They gave you, an imbecile, a moron who goes on television

in front of the whole damn country,

and makes a fool out of himself

the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Yes, sir.

He didn't want to be called crippled

just like I didn't want to be called stupid.

Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?

Well, thought I'd try out my sea legs.

Well, you ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan.

Yes, I know that. You wrote me a letter, you idiot.

Hold on there, boy.

Are you telling me you're the owner

of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Corporation?

Yes. We got more money than Davy Crockett.

Boy, I heard some whoppers in my time,

but that tops them all.

We were sitting next to a millionaire.

what I was doing seemed to... make sense to people.

And one day, out of the blue clear sky,

I got a letter from Jenny

wondering if I could come down to Savannah

and see her, and that's what I'm doing here.

Henry Street is just five or six blocks... down that way.

- Down that way? - Down that way.

It was nice talking to you.

Would you marry me, Forrest?

Lieutenant Dan.

- Lieutenant Dan. - Hello, Forrest.

You got new legs. New legs!

You died on a Saturday morning.

And I had you placed here under our tree.

I don'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.

If there's anything you need... I won't be far away.
