-
This one day, we was out walking,
like always,
-
and then, just like that,
-
somebody turned off the rain
and the sun come out.
-
Ambush!
-
Take cover!
-
Get down!
-
Get the sixty!
-
Get that pig up here, God damn it!
-
Forrest, you okay?
-
Strongarm! Strongarm!
Be advised, Strongarm!
-
Medic, we got a man down!
-
Strongarm, this is Leg Lima 6, over!
-
Roger, Strongarm, be advised
we have incoming from the tree line
-
at points blue plus two.
AKs and rockets...
-
Misfire! Misfire!
-
God damn it! Mac!
-
Get that thing...
Fuck it, get it in the tree line!
-
Jesus!
-
My unit is down hard and hurting!
-
Six are pulling back to Blue Line,
Leg Lima 6 out.
-
Pull back! Pull back!
-
Run! Run, Forrest!
-
- Pull back!
- Forrest, Forrest!
-
Run, man! Run!
-
Pull back! Run!
-
Run, God damn it, run!
-
Medic! Can I get a medic?
-
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.
-
Bubba!
-
Bubba was my best good friend.
I had to make sure that he was okay.
-
Any friendlies out there?
-
Yeah, I've got three over here.
-
Where the hell are you?
-
Bubba?
-
And on my way back to find Bubba,
-
well, there was this boy
laying on the ground.
-
Tex!
-
Okey.
-
I couldn't just let him lay there
all alone, scared the way he was,
-
so I grabbed him up
and run him out of there.
-
And every time I went back
looking for Bubba,
-
somebody else was saying,
"Help me, Forrest. Help me."
-
Can't hear... Can't hear...
-
No sweat, man. Just lay back.
-
You'll be okay. You'll be okay.
-
I started to get scared
that I might never find Bubba.
-
...over.
-
Roger, Strongarm,
I know my position is danger close.
-
We got Charlie all over this area.
-
I gotta have those fast movers
in here now. Over.
-
- Six, Strongarm, we want...
- Lieutenant Dan, Coleman's dead!
-
I know he's dead!
-
My whole goddamn platoon
is wiped out!
-
- Leg Lima 6, Leg Lima 6.
- God damn it!
-
- Copy this transmission. Over.
- What are you doing?
-
Just leave me here! Get away.
Just leave me here! Get out!
-
Leg Lima 6, Strongarm.
How copy this? Over.
-
God, I said leave me here, God damn it!
-
Leg Lima 6, Leg Lima 6,
this is Strongarm, be advised
-
your fast movers
are inbound at this time, over.
-
Then, it felt like something
just jumped up and bit me.
-
Something bit me!
-
You chink son of a bitch!
-
I can't leave the platoon.
-
I told you to leave me there, Gump.
Forget about me. Get yourself out!
-
Did you hear what I said?
-
God damn it, put me down!
-
Get your ass out of here!
-
I didn't ask you to pull me out of there,
God damn you!
-
Where the hell
do you think you're going?
-
To get Bubba.
-
I got an air strike inbound right now.
They're gonna nape the whole area.
-
Gump, you stay here, God damn it!
That's an order!
-
I gotta find Bubba!
-
Forrest.
-
- Bubba.
- I'm okay, Forrest.
-
I'm okay.
-
Oh, Bubba, no...
-
Nah, I'm gonna be all right.
-
Come on. Come on. Come on.
-
I'm okay, Forrest.
-
I'm okay, man. I'm fine.
-
Helo's inbound.
Top smoke, get it out there!
-
If I'd a known this was gonna be the
last time me and Bubba was gonna talk,
-
I'd of thought of something better to say.
-
Hey, Bubba.
-
Hey, Forrest.
-
Forrest, Why'd this happen?
-
You got shot.
-
Then Bubba said something
I won't ever forget.
-
I wanna go home.
-
Bubba was my best good friend.
-
And even I know that ain't something
you can find just around the corner.
-
Bubba was gonna be
a shrimping boat captain,
-
but instead he died right there
by that river in Vietnam.
