Forrest Gump Forrest Meets Forrest

Forrest Gump Forrest Meets Forrest

Moments ago, at 2:25 p.m.
as President Reagan was leaving the...

...five or six gunshots were fired
by an unknown would-be assassin.

The President
was shot in the chest...

and the assailant was immediately
tackled by a half a dozen lawmen.

I picked up the mail.

One day, out of the blue clear sky,
I got a letter from Jenny...

...wondering if I could come down
to Savannah and see her,

and that's what I'm doing here.
She saw me on TV, running,

I'm supposed to go on
the Number Nine bus to Richmond Street

and get off and go one block left
to 1-9-4-7 Henry Street, Apartment 4.

Why, you don't need
to take a bus.

Henry Street is just five
or six blocks down that way.

Down that way?

Down that way.

It was nice talkin' to you.

I hope everything works out for you.

Hey!
Forrest! How you doing?

Come in. Come in.

I got your letter.

Oh, I was wondering about that.

Is this your house?

Yeah, it's messy right now.
I just got off work.

It's nice.
You got air conditioning.

Ah...

Thank you.

I ate some.

Hey, I kept, I kept a scrapbook of your,
of your clippings and everything.

There you are.
This, I got you running.

I ran a long way.
For a long time.

There.

Listen, Forrest.
I don't know how to say this.

Um,

I just... I want to apologize
for anything that I ever did to you,

'cause I was messed up
for a long time, and...

Yoo-hoo.

Hey.

Hi.

Hey, you.
This is an old friend from Alabama.

Oh, how do you do?

Ah, listen, next week
my schedule changes,

so I'll be able to...
but thanks for picking up.

No problem. Got to go, Jen.
I'm double parked.

Okay.

Bye.
Thanks.

This is my very good friend,
Mr. Gump. Can you say hi to him?

Hello, Mr. Gump.

Hello.

Now, can I go watch TV now?

Yes, you can. Just keep it low.

You're a momma, Jenny.

I'm a momma.

His name is Forrest.

Like me.

I named him after his Daddy.

He got a daddy named Forrest, too?

You're his daddy, Forrest.

Hey, Forrest, look at me.
Look at me, Forrest.

There's nothing you need to do, okay?
You didn't do anything wrong.

Okay?

Isn't he beautiful?

He's the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen.

But...

Is, is he smart,
or is he...

He's very smart.
He's one of the smartest in his class.

Yeah, it's okay.
Go talk to him.

Oh, great.

Hey, Bert,
can you give me a hand?

A hand? Well, yeah,
what do you want, Ernie?

What are you watching?

Bert and Ernie.

Well, it's the first stage. Bert.

It's planning to write a story, Bert.

I have pencils right here to write
with, Bert. Now, we got, uh, paper.

I'll take that paper, Bert.
See, we have the paper to write on.

Forrest,
I'm sick.

What, do you have
a cough due to a cold?

I have some kind of virus.

And the doctors don't,
they don't know what it is.

And there isn't anything
they can do about it.

You could come
home with me.

Jenny, you and little Forrest could come
stay at my house in Greenbow.

I'll take care of you
if you're sick.

Would you marry me,
Forrest?

Okay.
