About this quote

A shouted command from a childhood scene that became one of the film's most repeated moments. It appears early in Forrest Gump (1994) when young Forrest, wearing leg braces, is chased by other boys and Jenny urges him to run. The blunt delivery and the sudden physical release when he bolts are what make the line linger in viewers' memories.
