Jenny Curran:
[hearing that Forrest is going to Vietnam] Listen, you promise me something, OK? Just if you're ever in trouble, don't be brave. You just run, OK? Just run away.

Forrest Gump:
My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Jenny Curran:
Were you scared in Vietnam?
Forrest Gump:
Yes. Well, I-I don't know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough
for the stars to come out... and then it was nice. It was like just
before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was always a
million sparkles on the water... like that mountain lake. It was so
clear, Jenny, it looked like there were two skies one on top of the
other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up, I couldn't tell
where heaven stopped and the earth began. It's so beautiful.
Jenny Curran:
I wish I could've been there with you.
Forrest Gump:
You were.

Lieutenant Daniel Taylor:
Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?
Forrest Gump:
I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir.

Forrest Gump:
That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run.
So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe
I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd
just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far,
maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I
did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept
on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured,
since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on
going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far,
I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.
The Feather (Forrest Gump Theme)
Joan Baez / Blowin' in the Wind
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
