SOLDIER All right...
The wounded ping-pong player tosses the ball down onto the table. Forrest begins to hit the ball back to the other player.
FORREST (voice-over)
For some reason
ping pong came very natural to me.
SOLDIER See
any idiot can play.

I'm nothing but a goddamned cripple! A legless freak.
Look! Look! Look at me! Do you see that? Do you know
what it's like not to be able to use your legs?
FORREST Well... Yes
sir
I do.
LT. DAN Did you hear what I said? You cheated me. I had a
destiny. I was supposed to die in the field! With
honor! That was my destiny! And you cheated me out
of it! You understand what I'm saying
Gump? This
wasn't supposed to happen. Not to me. I had a destiny.
I was Lieutenant Dan Tyler.
FORREST Yo-You're still Lieutenant Dan.
Lt. Dan looks at Forrest
lets go of Forrest and rolls. Lt. Dan sits up as Forrest looks at him.

I gonna do now?

so I went out for a walk to see our
national capital.
ISABEL Hilary
all right
I've got the vets
what do you
want me to do with them?
HILARY What are you doing here so late?
Forrest takes a photo of the memorial as a woman named Hilary gathers together some veterans against the Vietnam War.
HILARY We've been waiting for you for half an hour
so

will you. Hey
hey

pictures later. You look great. Oh come on
get in
this line
come on
come on right in line. Come on

resting
'cause the street was awful crowded with
people looking at all the statues and monuments.
And some of them people were loud and pushy.
Hilary leads the line of vets toward the large anti-Vietnam War rally.

in the White House -- Johnson. We ain't going to work
on your farm no more! Yeah!

giving a little
talk. And for some reason
he was wearing an American
flag for a shirt...
ABBIE HOFFMAN Now
I'm going to bring up some soldiers
that are going to talk about the war
man...
FORREST (voice-over) ... and he liked to say the "F" word.
A lot. "F" this and "F" that. And every time...
ABBIE HOFFMAN ... that war has come home
and we have
to stop these politicians...
FORREST (voice-over) ... he said "F" word
people
for
some reason
well
they'd cheer.
ABBIE HOFFMAN ... these guys just told Lyndon Johnson
where to stick this fucking war! Yeah!
Forrest looks up at the cheering crowd. Abbie turns and motions for Forrest to come up on the stage.

Abbie raises his fist as the crowd cheers wildly.
FORREST Well...
FORREST (voice-over) There was only one thing I could
say about the war in Vietnam.
FORREST ... there was only one thing I could say about
the war in Vietnam.
Forrest looks at the crowd as he speaks. A policeman looks around as he sneaks over to the audio circuit board.
FORREST In Vietnam war...
The policeman pulls the patch cords out of the audio board. Forrest's amplified voice becomes inaudible. Forrest continues to speak into the microphone
even though no one can hear what he is saying. Hilary looks over and notices the policeman. Hilary rushes over toward the audio board
pushes the policeman away and grabs his night stick. Another protestor grabs the policeman and pulls him away.
POLICEMAN Hey
what the hell are you doing?
HILARY I'll beat your head in
you goddamned oinker!
Isabel
Hilary and another protestor try to plug the tangled mess of wires back into the audio board.
ISABEL Christ
what'd they do with this?
Forrest continues to speak into the microphone. The crowd grows restless.
CROWD We can't hear you! We can't hear anything!
HILARY This one! This one! Give me that!
Hilary plugs in the right patch cord.
HILARY That's it.
FORREST ... and that's all I have to say about that.
Forrest looks at the massive crowd. They are silent. Abbie Hoffman steps over to Forrest and pats him on the shoulder.

then
that's just perfect! Yeah
well I just got
one thing to say to that. Goddamn bless America.
Lt. Dan's wheelchair begins to slide down the ramp and spins around on the icy ground. Forrest looks down at Lt. Dan crashes at the bottom of the ramp.
FORREST Lieutenant Dan!
EXT. NEW YORK CITY STREETS - NIGHT
Taxi cabs crowd the street as Forrest pushes Lt. Dan along the sidewalk.
FORREST (voice-over) Lieutenant Dan said he was
living in a hotel. And because he didn't have no legs
he spent most of his time exercising his arms.
LT. DAN Take a right
take a right.
A taxi driver honks his horn as Forrest wheels Lt. Dan out in front of the taxi.
TAXI DRIVER #1 Hey! Come on already!
LT. DAN Ah!
FORREST What are you doing here in New York
Lieutenant Dan?
LT. DAN I'm living off the government tit. Sucking it dry.
A taxi skids to a stop
almost hitting them as they cross the street. The taxi honks at Lt. Dan. Lt. Dan slaps the bumper of the taxi.
LT. DAN Hey! Hey! Hey! Are you blind?
I'm walking here! Ah
get out...
TAXI DRIVER #2 Why don't you go home before
you kill yourself? Get out of the way!
LT. DAN Come on
go! Go! Go!
EXT. LT. DAN'S HOTEL ROOM - LATER
A Bob Hope Christmas special in Vietnam on television. Lt. Dan and Forrest watch the television.
FORREST (voice-over) I stayed with Lieutenant Dan
and celebrated the holidays.
BOB HOPE You have a great year and hurry home.
God bless you.
LT. DAN Have you found Jesus yet
Gump?
FORREST I didn't know I was supposed to be looking
for him
sir.
Lt. Dan chuckles
drinks the rest of a bottle of wine and tosses it down. He looks at Forrest. He wheels himself over to television and turns it off.
LT. DAN That's all these cripples
down at the V.A.
that's all they ever talk about.
Lt. Dan picks up another bottle of port wine
but it is empty. He tosses it onto the floor.
LT. DAN Jesus this and Jesus that. Have I found Jesus?
They even had a priest come and talk to me. He said
God is listening
but I have to help myself. Now
if
I accept Jesus into my heart
I'll get to walk beside
him in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Lt. Dan tosses the empty liquor bottle down and picks another bottle. He becomes enraged as he throws the bottle and looks at Forrest.
LT. DAN Did you hear what I said? Walk beside him in the
Kingdom of Heaven. Well
kiss my crippled ass. God
is listening. What a crock of shit.
FORREST I'm going to heaven
Lieutenant Dan.
LT. DAN Huh? Ah
well
before you go
why don't you
get your ass down to the corner and get us
another bottle of wine.
FORREST Yes
sir.

milling about
cheering with horns and whistles and hats...

FORREST Shrimpin' boats.
LT. DAN Shrimpin' boats? Who gives a shit about
shrimpin' boats?
FORREST
I gotta buy me one of them shrimpin' boats as soon
as I have some money. I make me a promise to Bubba
in Vietnam
that as soon as the war was over
we'd
go in partners. He'd be the captain of the shrimpin'
boat and I'd be his first mate. But now that he's dead
that means that I gotta be the captain.

Lieutenant Dan.
LT. DAN Now hear this! Private Gump here is gonna be
a shrimp boat captain. Well

Gilligan

Two sleazy women
named LENORE and CARLA
walk up to Lt. Dan.
LENORE Danny

CARLA What are you doing
huh?
LENORE Mr. Hot Wheels. Who's your friend?
FORREST My name is Forrest
Forrest Gump.
LT. DAN This is Cunning Carla
and Long-Limbs Lenore.
Carla puts a "Happy New Year" crown on Lt. Dan's head. Lenore fixes her makeup.
CARLA So where you been
baby-cakes

you around lately. You know
you should have been
here for Christmas 'cause Tommy bought a round on
the house and gave everybody a turkey sandwich.
LT. DAN Well

I had
uh
company.
LENORE Hey
hey! We was
we was just there.
That's at the Times Square.
Lenore leans and speaks into Forrest's ear.
LENORE Don't you just love New Year's?
You get to start all over.
CARLA Hey
Lenore.
LENORE Everybody gets a second chance.
FORREST (voice-over) It's funny
but in the middle
of all that fun
I began to think about Jenny.
DICK CLARK (on television)
... getting wild out there. It's beginning to...
INT. APARTMENT/L.A. - NIGHT
The New Year's Eve celebration over the T.V.
DICK CLARK (over television)
... pour here in Times Square. It's been off-and-on
all night
but these people hang in there.
Jenny fills her bag with her belongings.
FORREST (voice-over) Wondering how she was spending
her New Year's night out in California.
A man lies passed out on the bed. Jenny looks at her black eye in a mirror
then leaves the apartment. The TV shows the ball in Times Square.
CROWD (over television) 9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...
INT. TIMES SQUARE BAR - NIGHT
The ball is lowered
lighting up a sign that reads "1972."
CROWD (over television) ...1! Happy New Year!
The people in the bar cheer and kiss each other. They blow horns and toss confetti into the air. Forrest looks around as Carla and Lenore lean over and kiss him.
PATRONS (sing) "Should auld acquaintance be
forgot and never brought to mind...
FORREST Happy New Year
Lieutenant Dan!
PATRONS (sing) Should auld acquaintance be
forgot and days of auld lang syne."
INT. LT. DAN'S HOTEL ROOM - LATER
Carla removes her top and sits on top of Dan in his wheelchair. They kiss and play around. Forrest sits in a chair. Lenore leaps on him and begins to kiss Forrest. She reaches down to Forrest's crotch. Forrest stands up nervously
causing Lenore to fall down on the floor. Lenore stands up
angry.
LENORE What are you
stupid or something?
What's your problem?
What's his problem? Did you lose your pecker
in the war or something?
CARLA What
is your friend stupid or something?
LT. DAN What did you say?
CARLA I said
is your friend stupid or something?
LT. DAN Hey! Don't call him stupid!
Lt. Dan throws Carla back onto the bed.
CARLA Don't push me like that!
LENORE Hey
don't you push her!
LT. DAN You shut up! Don't you ever call him stupid!
CARLA What's the matter
baby? Why you treating
me like shit?
LT. DAN Get the hell out of here!
LENORE You stupid gimp. You belong in "Ripley's
Believe It Or Not."
LT. DAN Get the hell out of here! Go on!
LENORE You should be in a side show!
LT. DAN Go on! Get out of here! Get out of here!
LENORE You big loser!
CARLA Come on
Lenore. We don't need this shit!
LENORE You're so pathetic.
LT. DAN Get out of here!
Lt. Dan falls out of his wheelchair and lands down on the floor. Carla and Lenore laugh as they leave the apartment.
CARLA You retard!
LENORE You loser! You freak!
Forrest tries to help Lt. Dan. Lt. Dan pushes Forrest away.
LT. DAN No!
Forrest steps back as Lt. Dan flips back over
then pulls himself back up onto his wheelchair. He breathes heavily.
FORREST
I'm sorry I ruined your New Year's Eve party
Lieutenant Dan. She tastes like cigarettes.
FORREST (voice-over)
I guess Lieutenant Dan figured there's some things
you just can't change. He didn't want to be called
crippled
just like I didn't want to be called stupid.
LT. DAN Happy New Year.
EXT. WHITE HOUSE - NIGHT
An ANCHORMAN reports in front of the White House.

care of it for you.
INT. WATERGATE HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Forrest speaks on the phone.
SECURITY GUARD Security
Frank Wills.
Forrest steps over to a window. Flashlights are moving around in an office across from Forrest's room.
FORREST Yeah
sir
you might want to send a maintenance
man over to that office across the way. The lights
are off
and they must be looking for the fuse box or
something
'cause them flashlights they're
they're
keeping me awake.
SECURITY GUARD Okay
sir. I'll check it out.
FORREST Thank you.

revealing the hotel stationary
which reads "The Watergate Hotel."
INT. GYMNASIUM - DAY

noon tomorrow.
The television cuts to a shot of President Nixon standing outside Air Force One with his hands in the peace sign.
PRESIDENT NIXON (over television)
Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at
that hour in this office. As I recall the high hopes
for America with which we began this second term
I
feel a great sadness that I will not be here in this
office...
Forrest is playing ping-pong by himself at the gymnasium. An officer steps up to him.
OFFICER Sergeant Gump!
FORREST Yes
sir!
OFFICER As you were. I have your discharge papers.
Your service is up
son.
The officer hands Forrest an envelope
then walks away.
FORREST Does this mean I can't play ping-pong no more?
OFFICER For the Army it does.
FORREST (voice-over)
And just like that
my service in the United
States Army was over. So I went home.
Forrest takes his paddle and runs out of the gymnasium.

Mrs. Gump walks out of the house and smiles. Forrest walks up to the house
wearing his uniform.

Momma.
MRS. GUMP I know
I know.
INT. GUMP HOUSE
Mrs. Gump and Forrest walk into the house.
MRS. GUMP Louise
he's here. He's here
everybody.
FORREST (voice-over) Now
when I got home
I had no
idea that Momma had had all sorts of visitors.
In the house are stacks of ping-pong paddles and life-sized cardboard cutouts of Forrest playing ping-pong. The name on the ping-pong paddles boxes reads
Gump-Mao table tennis.
MRS. GUMP We've had all sorts of visitors
Forrest. Everybody
wants you to use their ping-pong stuff. One man even
left a check for twenty-five thousand dollars if
you'd be agreeable to saying you like using their paddle.
FORREST Oh
Momma. I only like using my own paddle.
Hi
Miss Louise.
LOUISE Hey
Forrest.
MRS. GUMP I know that. I know that. But it's twenty-five
thousand dollars
Forrest. I thought maybe you
could hold it for a while
see if it grows on you.
Oh
you look good
Forrest. You look real good.
FORREST (voice-over) That Momma
she sure was right.
It's funny how things work out.
