Forrest Gump 13
Carla: Danny, what are you waving about?
Lenora: Who’s your friend?
Gump: My name’s Forrest. Forrest Gump.
Dan: This is cunning Carla and Long-Limbs Lenora.
Lenora: Where you been baby cakes? Huh? I haven’t seen you around lately. You know you should have been here for Christmas because Tommy bought a round on the house and gave everybody a turkey sandwich.
Dan: Well, well. I had company.
Lenora: Hey, hey! We was just there. That’s Times Square.
Carla: Don’t you just love New Years? You can start all over. Everybody gets a second chance.
Forrest: It’s funny. But in the middle of all that fun, I began to think about Jenny, wondering how she was spending her New Years in California.(later) Happy New Year, Lieutenemt Dan.
(In Dan’s hotel)
Carla: What? Are you stupid or something? What’s your problem? What’s his problem? Did you lose your pecker* in the war or something?
Lenora: What? Is your friend stupid or something?
Dan: What did you say?
Lenora: I said “Is your friend stupid or something?”
Dan: Don’t call him stupid.
Carla: Don’t push her.
Dan: You shut up. Don’t you ever call him stupid. Get the hell out of here.
Lenora: You should be in a sideshow*! You retard*!
Carla: You loser. You freak.
Gump: I’m sorry I ruined your New Year Eve party Lieutenant Dan. She tastes like cigarettes.
Forrest: I guess Lieutenant Dan figured there were 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.
Dan: Happy New Year, Gump.
Newsman: The US Ping-pong Team met with President Nixon today at a ...
Forrest: And wouldn’t you know it, a few months later, they invited me and the Ping-pong team to visit the White House, so I went, again. And I met the President of the United States, again. Only this time they didn’t get us rooms in real fancy* hotels.
Nixon: So are you enjoying yourself in our nation’s capital, young man?
Gump: Yes, sir.
Nixon: Well, where are you staying?
Gump: It’s called the Hotel Ebot.
Nixon: No, no, no. I know a much nicer hotel, It’s brand new*, very modern. I’ll have my people take care of it for you.
(that night)
Man on telephone: Security*, Frank Wells.
Gump: Yes, 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 a fuse box or something ‘cause them flashlights, they’re keeping me awake... Thank you.Good night.
(later)
Nixon: Therefore, I shall resign* the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office...
