Forrest: Hello. My name’s Forrest. Forrest Gump. Do you want a chocolate? I could eat about a million and a half of these. My mama always said “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” 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.
　　
Woman: My feet hurt.

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. I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes. Mama said they would take me anywhere. She said they was my magic shoes.

Doctor: Alright, Forrest. Open your eyes now. Let’s take a little walk around. How do those feel? His legs are strong, Mrs. Gump, as strong as I’ve ever seen. But his back is as crooked as a politician. But we’re going to straighten him right up now, aren’t we, Forrest?

Mrs.Gump: Forrest!

Forrest: Now when I was a baby, Mama named me after the great Civil 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 Klux Klan. They’d all dress up in their robes and their bed sheets and act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks or something. They’d even put bed sheets on their horses and ride around. Anyway, that’s how I got my name, Forrest Gump. 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: What are y’all starin’ at? Haven’t you ever seen a little boy with braces on his legs before? Don’t ever let anybody tell you that 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. We lived about a quarter mile off Route 17, about a half mile from the town of Greenbow, Alabama. That’s in the country of Greenbow. Our house had been in mama’s family since her grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpa had come across the ocean about a thousand years ago, something like that. Since it was just me and mama and we had all these empty rooms, mama decided to let those rooms out, mostly to people passin’ through like, oh, from Mobile, Montgomery, places like that. That’s how me and mama got money. Mama was a real smart
