Gump is just good people, you know? Great, great movie. Little long, but well worth the watch. As for quotability, shoot, even my pops can quotes some lines. He loved ‘ol Bubba and his shrimp dialogue. I can still see him sticking out his bottom lip…shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. My favorite part of the movie is when little Forrest teaches Elvis how to properly do a pelvic thrust dance. Good stuff.
- Hello. My name’s Forrest, Forrest Gump. You want a chocolate?
- I’m sorry I ruined your New Year’s Eve party, Lieutenant Dan. She tasted like cigarettes
- That’s all I have to say about that
- That kid may be the stupidest son of a bitch I’ve ever seen, but he sure is fast!
- I am living off the government tit! Sucking it dry!
- There was Dallas, from Phoenix; Cleveland – he was from Detroit; and Tex… well, I don’t remember where Tex come from
- Sorry to ruin your black panther party
- Bumper Sticker Guy: Hey man! Hey listen, I was wondering if you might help me. ‘Cause I’m in the bumper sticker business and I’ve been trying to think of a good slogan, and since you’ve been such a big inspiration to the people around here I thought you might be able to help me jump into – WOAH! Man, you just ran through a big pile of dog shit!
Forrest Gump: It happens
Bumper Sticker guy: What, shit?
Forrest Gump: Sometimes - Nobody gives a hunky shit who you are, pus ball. You’re not even a low-life, scum-sucking maggot. Get your ass on the bus, you’re in the army now!
- When I was in China on the All-American Ping Pong team, I just loved playing ping-pong with my Flexolite ping pong paddle
- Like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.
- Bubba: My given name is Benjamin Buford Blue, but people call me Bubba. Just like one of them ol’ redneck boys. Can you believe that?
Forrest Gump: My name’s Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump - My momma always said, “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
