“No religion, too?”

“No possessions?”

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

“You had quite a trip. Can you tell us what China was like?”

“That's a fine idea.”

“How would you like to go into the shrimpin' business with me?”

“You know why we're a good partnership, Forrest? 'Cause we watch out for one another.”

“There are two standing rules in this outfit. One, take care of your feet. Two, don't go doing something stupid, like getting yourself killed!”

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

“Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?”

“You told me to, Drill Sergeant.”

“Done, Drill Sergeant!”

“Yes, drill sergeant!”

“This is one very intelligent individual! You lock your scuzzy bodies up behind that private and do exactly what he does, and you will go far in this man's Army! Is that clear?!”

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

“Gump! What's your sole purpose in this Army?”

“I know everything there is to know about the shrimping business. Matter of fact, I'm going into the shrimping business for myself after I get out of the Army.”

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

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

“Have you ever been on a real shrimp boat?”

“You can sit down if you want.”

“Hello. I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.”

“Stupid is as stupid does.”

“Are you stupid or something?”

“They're my magic shoes.”

“Momma says my back is as crooked as a question mark. These shoes are gonna make me as straight as an arrow.”

“Um, nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and dandy.”

“What's wrong with your legs?”

“Well, are you gonna sit down, or aren't ya?”

“You can sit here if you want.”

“Now you listen to me. We all have a destiny. Things don't just happen; it's all part of a plan.”

“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.”

“If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will.”

“Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me; now his failure is complete.”

“So you have a twin sister? Your feelings have now betrayed her too.”

“You underestimate the power of the Dark Side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny!”

“You don't know the power of the Dark Side. I must obey my master.”

“It is too late for me, my son.”

“That name no longer has any meaning for me.”

“Indeed, you are powerful, as the Emperor has foreseen.”

“What of the reports of the rebel fleet massing near Sullust?”

“Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong.”

“Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends.”
