0:00:00.820,0:00:02.731
I didn't stay home for long

0:00:02.820,0:00:07.575
because I'd made a promise to Bubba,[br]and I always try to keep my promise,

0:00:07.660,0:00:11.369
so I went on down to Bayou La Batre[br]to meet Bubba's family.

0:00:11.460,0:00:15.738
Are you crazy or just plain stupid?

0:00:15.820,0:00:19.733
- Stupid is as stupid does, Mrs Blue.[br]- I guess.

0:00:19.900,0:00:24.337
And, of course,[br]I paid my respect to Bubba himself.

0:00:25.460,0:00:28.054
Hey, Bubba. It's me, Forrest Gump.

0:00:31.180,0:00:35.935
I remember everything you said,[br]and I got it all figured out.

0:00:37.660,0:00:45.010
I'm taking $24,562.47 that I got,

0:00:45.100,0:00:48.376
that's left after a new haircut[br]and a new suit

0:00:48.460,0:00:51.293
and I took Mama out[br]to a real fancy dinner,

0:00:51.380,0:00:54.133
and I bought a bus ticket,[br]and three Dr Peppers.

0:00:54.220,0:00:58.532
Tell me something.[br]Are you stupid or something?

0:00:58.620,0:01:01.088
Stupid is as stupid does, sir.

0:01:01.180,0:01:02.977
That's what's left after me saying,

0:01:03.060,0:01:06.848
"When I was in China[br]on the All-America ping-pong team,

0:01:06.940,0:01:08.737
"I just loved playing ping-pong

0:01:08.820,0:01:10.890
"with my Flex-o-lite[br]ping-pong paddle,"

0:01:10.980,0:01:12.936
which everybody knows isn't true,

0:01:13.020,0:01:16.933
but Mama said it was just a little[br]white lie, it wasn't hurting nobody.

0:01:17.020,0:01:21.059
So anyway,[br]I'm putting all that on gas, ropes,

0:01:21.140,0:01:25.133
and new nets[br]and a brand-new shrimping boat.

0:01:45.540,0:01:48.737
Bubba told me everything[br]he knew about shrimping,

0:01:48.820,0:01:51.618
but you know what I found out?

0:01:52.660,0:01:55.220
Shrimping is tough.

0:01:57.060,0:01:59.620
I only caught five.

0:01:59.700,0:02:03.056
A couple more,[br]you can have yourself a cocktail.

0:02:04.700,0:02:07.533
You ever think about[br]naming this old boat?

0:02:07.620,0:02:10.372
It's bad luck[br]to have a boat without a name.

0:02:10.460,0:02:12.690
I'd never named a boat before,

0:02:12.780,0:02:17.615
but there was only one[br]I could think of,

0:02:17.700,0:02:21.488
the most beautiful name[br]in the wide world.
