“Um, nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and dandy.”
About this quote
The young version of the protagonist delivers this line in Forrest Gump (1994), in an early scene that shows who he is without heavy explanation. It’s plain and polite language from a child, which makes the moment stick in the memory of viewers. The contrast between the calm delivery and the underlying circumstance gives the line its quiet, lasting clarity.
