Forrest Gump 17
 
 
Jenny: You done watching it?

Gump: Will you marry me? I’d make a good hu*****and, Jenny.

Jenny: You would, Forrest.

Gump: But you don’t want to marry me.

Jenny: You won’t marry me.

Gump: Why don’t you love me, Jenny? I’m not a smart man, but I know what love is. ( later) Jenny?

Jenny: Forrest, I do love you.

Man: Where are you runnin’ off to?

Jenny: I’m not runnin’.

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

Woman: And so, you just ran.

Forrest: Yeah, I’d think a lot, about mama, and Bubba and Lieutenant Dan. But most of all, I thought about Jenny. I thought about her a lot.

Newsman: For more than two years now, a man named Forrest Gump, a gardner from Greenbow Alabama, stopping only to sleep , has been running across America....

Newsman: For the fourth time on his journey across America, Forrest Gump, a gardener from Greenbow, Alabama is about to cross the Mississippi River again today....

Jenny: I’ll be damned. Newsman: Sir, why are you running?

NewsWoman: Are you doing this for world peace?

Newsman: Are you doing this for the homeless?

Newsman: Are you running for women’s rights?

Newsman: Or for the environment?

Newsman: Or for animals?

Forrest: They just couldn’t believe that someone would do all that running for no particular reason.

NewsWoman: Why are you doing this?

Gump: I just felt like running.

Forrest: I just felt like running.

Jogger: It’s you! I can’t believe it’s really you.

Forrest: Now for some reason what I was doing seemed to make sense to people.

Jogger: I mean, it’s like an alarm went off in my head, you know. I said, here’s a guy who’s got his act together*. Here’s somebody who’s got it all figured out. Here’s someone who has the answer. I’ll follow you anywhere, Mr.Gump.

Forrest:

So, I got company. And after that, I got more company, and then, even more people joined in. Somebody later told me it gave people hope. Now, I don’t know anything about that. But some of those people asked me if I could help them out.

Man:

Hey man. Hey, listen, I was wondering if you might help me. I’m in the bumper* sticker* business and I’ve been trying to think up a good slogan and since you have been such a big inspiration* to the people around you. I thought you might be able to... Whoa! Man, you just ran through a big pile of dog shit!

Gump: It happens.

Man: What? Shit?

Gump: Sometimes.
