Forrest Gump 18
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.
Newsman: Moments ago, at 2:25 p.m. as President Reagan was leaving... Five or six gun shots were fired by an unknown would-be assassin*. The President was shot in the chest...
Louise: I picked up the mail.
Forrest:
One day, out of blue clear sky*, I got a letter from Jenny, wonderin’ if I could come down to Savannah and see her, and that’s what I’m doing here. She saw me on TV runnin’. I’m supposed to go on the number 9 bus to Richmond Street and get off and go one block left to 1947 Henry Street, Apartment 4.
Woman: Why, you don’t need take a bus, Herry Street is just five or six blocks down that way.
Forrest: Down that way?
Woman: Down that way.
Forrest: It was nice talking to you.
Woman: I hope everything works out for you.
Jenny: Forrest! How you doin’? Come in, come in.
Forrest: I got your letter.
Jenny: Oh! I was wondering about that.
Forrest: This is your house.
Jenny: Yeah, it’s messy right now, I just got off work.
Forrest: It’s nice. You’ve got air-conditioning.
Jenny: Thank you.
Forrest: I ate some.
Jenny: I kept a scrapbook* of your clippings* and everything. There you are. I got you running.
Forrest: I ran a long way. It was a long time.
Jenny: Listen, Forrest, I don’t know how to say this... I just, I want to apologize for anything I ever did to you ‘cause I was messed up for a long time and...
Baby-sitter: Yoohoo*! Hi!
Jenny: Hey you! This is an old friend from Alabama.
Baby-sitter: Hi, how do you do?
Jenny: Listen, next week my schedule changes, so I’ll be able to...
Baby-sitter: No problem. Gotta go, Jen. I’m double parked*. Bye!
Jenny: This is my very good friend, Mr. Gump. Can you say hi to him?
Little Forrest: Hello, Mr.Gump.
Forrest: Hello.
Little Forrest: Can I go watch TV now?
Jenny: Yes you can, just keep it low.
Forrest: You’re a mama, Jenny.
