“What's my destiny, Momma?”

“You did good, Momma.”

“Why are you dyin', Momma?”

“What's the matter, Momma?”

“Well, in the land of China, people hardly got nothing at all.”

“That's a fine idea.”

“Uh, I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him.”

“You told me to, Drill Sergeant.”

“Done, Drill Sergeant!”

“Yes, drill sergeant!”

“To do whatever you tell me, Drill Sergeant!”

“My name's Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.”

“No, but I've been on a real big boat.”

“Hello. I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.”

“Jenny! I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.”

“Jenny, I don't know if Momma 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.”

“Momma said there's only so much fortune a man really needs, and the rest is just for showing off.”

“That's good. One less thing.”

“You know what I think? I think you should go home to Greenbow, Alabama!”

“My Momma always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.'”

“My mama always said, 'You've got to put the past behind you before you can move on.'”

“Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.”
