From that day on, we was always together. Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.
I don't know if Mama was right, or if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze. But I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time.
— Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?
— I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir.
I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
Death is just a part of life, something we're all destined to do.
— Do you ever dream, Forrest, about who you're gonna be?
— Who I'm gonna be?
— Yeah.
— Aren't I going to be me?
So, I never went back to work for Lieutenant Dan, though he did take care of my Bubba-Gump money. He got me invested in some kind of fruit company. And so then, I got a call from him saying we don't have to worry about money no more, and I said, "That's good. One less thing."
— Whoa, man! You just ran through a big pile of dog shit!
— It happens.
— What, shit?
— Sometimes.
My mama always said, "You got to put the past behind you before you can move on."
Mama says, "Stupid is as stupid does."
Mama always said that God is mysterious.
Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're going to get.
