Forrest
I'm home, Momma.
Mrs. Gump
I know, I know.
Mrs. Gump
Louise, he's here. He's here, everybody.
Forrest (voice-over)
Now, when I got home, I had no idea that
Momma had had all sorts of visitors.
Mrs. Gump
We've had all sorts of visitors, Forrest.
Everybody wants you to use their ping-pong
stuff. One man even left a check for twenty-five
thousand dollars if you'd be agreeable
to saying you like using their paddle.
Forrest Oh,
Momma. I only like using my own paddle.
Hi, Miss Louise.
Louise Hey,
Forrest.
Mrs. Gump
I know that. I know that. But it's twenty-five
thousand dollars, Forrest. I thought maybe
you could hold it for a while, see if
it grows on you. Oh, you look good, Forrest.
You look real good.
Forrest (voice-over)
That Momma, she sure was right. It's funny
how things work out.
Forrest
(voice-over) I didn't stay home for long,
because I'd made
a promise to Bubba. And I always try
to keep my promise. So I went on down
to Bayou La Batre to meet Bubba's family
and make their introduction.
Mrs. Blue
Are you crazy, or just plain stupid?
Forrest Stupid
is as stupid does, Mrs. Blue.
Mrs. Blue
I guess.
Forrest
(voice-over) And of course, I paid my
respect to Bubba himself.
Forrest Hey,
Bubba, it's me, Forrest Gump. I remember
everything you said, and I got it all
figured
out.
Forrest
I'm taking the twenty-four thousand, five
hundred and six-two dollars and forty-seven
cents that I got...
Forrest
(voice-over) ... well, that's left after
a new hair cut and a new suit and I took
Momma out to real fancy dinner and I bought
a bus ticket and three Doctor Peppers.
Old Shrimper
Tell me something. Are you stupid or something?
Forrest Stupid
is as stupid does, sir.
Forrest Well,
that's what's left after me saying, "When
I was in China on the All-America Ping-Pong
Team, I just loved playing ping-pong with
my Flex-O-Ping-Pong Paddle." Which
everybody knows it isn't true, but Momma
says it's just a little white
lie so it wouldn't hurt nobody. So,
anyway, I'm putting all that on gas, ropes
and new nets and a brand-new shrimpin'
boat.
Forrest
(voice-over) Now, Bubba had told me everything
he knows about shrimpin', but you know
what I found out? Shrimpin' is tough.
Forrest I
only caught five.
Old Shrimper
A couple of more, you can have yourself
a cocktail.
Old Shrimper
Hey, you ever think about namin' this
old boat?
Forrest (voice-over)
I'd never named a boat before, but there
was only one I could think of.
Forrest
(voice-over) The most beautiful name in
the wide world.
