No shrimp.
Where's this God of yours?
It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that,
'cause right then, God showed up.
[storm blowing strong]
[wild wave hitting the boat]
You'll never sink
-this boat! -Now me, I was scared.
-But Lieutenant Dan, he was mad. [Lieutenant Dan laughing crazy]
Come on!
You call this a storm?
Blow, you son-of-a-bitch! Blow!
It's time for a showdown! You and me!
I'm right here! Come and get me! [laughing]
You'll never sink this boat!

Hurricane Carmen came through here yesterday,
destroying nearly everything in it's path.
And as in other towns up and down the coast,
Bayou La Batre's entire shrimping industry
has fallen victim to Carmen
and has been left in utter ruin.
Speaking with local officials, this reporter has learned,
in fact, only one shrimping boat
actually survived the storm.
Louise, Louise, there's Forrest!
After that, shrimpin' was easy.

And since people still needed them shrimps
for shrimp cocktails and barbecues and all
and we were the only boat left standing
"Bubba-Gump" shrimp's what they got.
We got a whole bunch of boats.
Twelve Jenny's
A big ol' warehouse, we even have hats that say
"Bubba-Gump" on 'em.
"Bubba-Gump Shrimp."
It's a household name.
