Forrest Gump Bus Scene

- You do your very best now, Forrest.
- I sure will, Mama.

I remember the bus ride
on the first day of school very well.

Are you coming along?

Mama said not to be taking
rides from strangers.

This is the bus to school.

I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.

- I'm Dorothy Harris.
- Well, now we ain't strangers any more.

This seat's taken.

It's taken!

You can't sit here.

You know, it's funny what
a young man recollects,

'cause I don't remember being born.

I don't recall what I got
for my first Christmas,

and I don't know when I went
on my first outdoor picnic.

But I do remember the first time I heard

the sweetest voice in the wide world.

You can sit here if you want.

I had never seen anything
so beautiful in my life.

She was like an angel.

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

What's wrong with your legs?

Nothing at all, thank you.
My legs are just fine and dandy.

I just sat next to her on that bus

and had a conversation
all the way to school.

...my back's crooked like
a question mark.

These are going to make me...

And next to Mama, no one ever
talked to me or asked me questions.

Are you stupid or something?

Mama says, "Stupid is as stupid does."

- I'm Jenny.
- I'm Forrest. Forrest Gump.

From that day on,
we was always together.

Jenny and me was like
peas and carrots.

She taught me how to climb.

Come on, Forrest, you can do it.
