"FORREST GUMP"
Screenplay by
Eric Roth
Based on a novel by
Winston Groom
EXT. A SAVANNAH STREET - DAY (1981)
A feather floats through the air. The falling feather.
A city, Savannah, is revealed in the background. The feather
floats down toward the city below. The feather drops down
toward the street below, as people walk past and cars drive
by, and nearly lands on a man's shoulder.
He walks across the street, causing the feather to be whisked
back on its journey. The feather floats above a stopped car.
The car drives off right as the feather floats down toward
the street.
The feather floats under a passing car, then is sent flying
back up in the air. A MAN sits on a bus bench. The feather
floats above the ground and finally lands on the man's
mudsoaked shoe.
The man reached down and picks up the feather. His name is
FORREST GUMP. He looks at the feather oddly, moves aside a
box of chocolates from an old suitcase, then opens the case.
Inside the old suitcase are an assortment of clothes, a
pingpong paddle, toothpaste and other personal items.
Forrest pulls out a book titled "Curious George," then places
the feather inside the book. Forrest closes the suitcase.
Something in his eyes reveals that Forrest may not be all
there.
Forrest looks right as the sound of an arriving bus is heard.
A bus pulls up. Forrest remains on the bus bench as the bus
continues on.
A BLACK WOMAN in a nurse's outfit steps up and sits down at
the bus bench next to Forrest. The nurse begins to read a
magazine as Forrest looks at her.
FORREST
Hello. My name's Forrest Gump.
He opens a box of chocolates and holds it out for the nurse.
FORREST
You want a chocolate?
The nurse shakes her head, a bit apprehensive about this
strange man next to her.
FORREST
I could eat about a million and a
half of these. My momma always said,
"Life was like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're gonna
get."
Forrest eats a chocolate as he looks down at the nurse's
shoes.
FORREST
Those must be comfortable shoes.
I'll bet you could walk all day in
shoes like that and not feel a thing.
I wish I had shoes like that.
BLACK WOMAN
My feet hurt.
FORREST
Momma always says there's an awful
lot you could tell about a person by
their shoes. Where they're going.
Where they've been.
The black woman stares at Forrest as he looks down at his
own shoes.
FORREST
I've worn lots of shoes. I bet if I
think about it real hard I could
remember my first pair of shoes.
Forrest closes his eyes tightly.
FORREST
Momma said they'd take my anywhere.
INT. COUNTRY DOCTOR'S OFFICE - GREENBOW, ALABAMA - DAY
(1951)
A little boy closes his eyes tightly. It is young Forrest as
he sits in a doctor's office.
FORREST (V.O.)
She said they was my magic shoes.
Forrest has been fitted with orthopedic shoes and metal leg
braces.
DOCTOR
All right, Forrest, you can open
your eyes now. Let's take a little
walk around.
The doctor sets Forrest down on its feet. Forrest walks around
stiffly. Forrest's mother, MRS. GUMP, watches him as he clanks
around the room awkwardly.
DOCTOR
How do those feel? His legs are
strong, Mrs. Gump. As strong as I've
ever seen. But his back is as crooked
as a politician.
Forrest walks foreground past the doctor and Mrs. Gump.
DOCTOR
But we're gonna straighten him right
up now, won't we, Forrest?
A loud thud is heard as, outside, Forrest falls.
MRS. GUMP
Forrest!
EXT. GREENBOW, ALABAMA
Mrs. Gump and young Forrest walk across the street. Forrest
walks stiffly next to his mother.
FORREST (V.O.)
Now, when I was a baby, Momma named
me after the great Civil War hero,
General Nathan Bedford Forrest...
EXT. RURAL ALABAMA
A black and white photo of General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
The photo turns into live action as the General dons a hooded
sheet over his head.
The General is in full Ku Klux Klan garb, including his horse.
The General rides off, followed by a large group of Klan
members dressed in full uniform.
FORREST (V.O.)
She said we was related to him in
some way. And, what he did was, he
started up this club called the Ku
Klux Klan. They'd all dress up in
their robes and their bedsheets and
act like a bunch of ghosts or spooks
or something. They'd even put
bedsheets on their horses and ride
around. And anyway, that's how I got
my name. Forrest Gump.
EXT. GREENBOW
Mrs. Gump and Forrest walk across the street.
FORREST (V.O.)
Momma said that the Forrest part was
to remind me that sometimes we all
do things that, well, just don't
make no sense.
Forrest stops suddenly as his brace gets stuck. Forrest's
brace is caught in a gutter grate. Mrs. Gump bends down and
tries to free Forrest. Two old cronies sit in front of a
barber shop and watch.
MRS. GUMP
Just wait, let me get it.
Mrs. Gump struggles to pull the stuck brace from the grate.
MRS. GUMP
Let me get it. Wait, get it this
way. Hold on.
Forrest pulls his foot out of the grate.
MRS. GUMP
All right.
Mrs. Gump helps Forrest up onto the sidewalk. She looks up
and notices the two old man.
MRS. GUMP
Oooh. All right. What are you all
staring at? Haven't you ever seen a
little boy with braces on his legs
before?
Mrs. Gump and Forrest walk along the sidewalk past the two
old men. Mrs. Gump holds tightly onto Forrest's hand.
MRS. GUMP
Don't ever let anybody tell you
they're better than you, Forrest. If
God intended everybody to be the
same, he'd have given us all braces
on our legs.
FORREST (V.O.)
Momma always had a way of explaining
things so I could understand them.
EXT. OAK ALLEY/THE GUMP BOARDING HOUSE
Mrs. Gump and Forrest walk along a dirt road. A row of
mailboxes stands left.
FORREST (V.O.)
We lived about a quarter mile of
Route 17, about a half mile from the
town of Greenbow, Alabama. That's in
the county of Greenbow. Our house
had been in Momma's family since her
grandpa's grandpa's grandpa had come
across the ocean about a thousand
years ago. Something like
