About this quote

In Forrest Gump (1994), Bubba Blue delivers this line during a conversation with Forrest about shrimp and the idea of running a shrimping business together. The scene follows a long, specific list of shrimp types and recipes, which the character recites in a plain, matter-of-fact way. What makes the line stick is the straight delivery and Bubba's obsessive focus on one subject, set against the larger events unfolding around the characters.
