Jenny Curran: [sadly] ... You don't wanna marry me.

Forrest Gump: Why don't you love me, Jenny? [Jenny says nothing]

Forrest Gump: I'm not a smart man... but I know what love is.

[young Jenny's father is chasing her through the fields to beat her when she stops and hides] Young Jenny Curran: Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here.

[repeated line]

Forrest Gump: My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Mrs. Gump: You have to do the best with what God gave you.

[repeated line]

Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does.

Forrest Gump: You know it's funny what a young man recollects? 'Cause I don't remember bein' 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.

Forrest Gump: Sometimes, I guess there just aren't enough rocks.

Forrest Gump: [dejected] No shrimp.

Lieutenant Daniel Taylor: Where the Hell is this God of yours?

Forrest Gump: [narrating] It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that, 'cause right then, God showed up.

Forrest Gump: My Mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on.

Jenny Curran: Were you scared in Vietnam?

Forrest Gump: Yes. Well, I-I don't know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out... and then it was nice. It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was always a million sparkles on the water... like that mountain lake. It was so clear, Jenny, it looked like there were two skies one on top of the other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up, I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the earth began. It's so beautiful.

Jenny Curran: I wish I could've been there with you.

Forrest Gump: You were.

Forrest Gump: Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots.

Forrest Gump: Then, Bubba said something I won't ever forget.

Bubba: I wanna go home.

Forrest Gump: Bubba was my best good friend...
