甘太太 . Forest!

EXT. GREENBOW, ALABAMA

Mrs. Gump and young Forrest walk across the street. Forrest walks stiffly next to his mother.

阿甘 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.

阿甘 (voice-over) 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.

阿甘 (voice-over) 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.

甘太太 Just wait, let me get it.

Mrs. Gump struggles to pull the stuck brace from the grate.

甘太太 Let me get it. Wait, get it this way. Hold on.

Forrest pulls his foot out of the grate.

甘太太 All right.

Mrs. Gump helps Forrest up onto the sidewalk. She looks up and notices the two old man.

甘太太 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 sidwalk past the two old men. Mrs. Gump holds tightly onto Forrest's hand.

甘太太 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.

阿甘 (voice-over) 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.

阿甘 (voice-over) 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 that.

Mrs. Gump and Forrest walk along the Gump Boarding House driveway.

阿甘 (voice-over) Since it was just me and Momma and

we had all these empty rooms, Momma decided to

let those rooms out. Mostly to people passing through.

Like from, oh, Mobile, Montgomery, place like that.

That's how me and Mommy got money. Mommy was

a real smart lady.

甘太太 Remember what I told you, Forrest.

You're no different than anybody else is.

Mrs. Gump heads Forrest to the porch. She bends down to look Forrest in the eye.

甘太太 Did you hear what I said, Forrest? You're the same

as everybody else. You are no different.

INT. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL / PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE - DAY - 1954

PRINCIPAL Your boy's... different, Mrs. Gump.

Now, his I.Q. is seventy-five.

甘太太 Well, we're all different, Mr. Hancock.

The principal sighs, then stands up.

INT. HALLWAY

Forrest sits outside the principal's office and waits.

阿甘 (voice-over) She wanted me to have the finest education,

so she took me to the Greenbow County Central School.

I met the principal and all.

The principal stands in front of Mrs. Gump. Forrest, sitting left, listens.

PRINCIPAL I want to show you something, Mrs. Gump.

Now, this is normal.

The principal holds up a chart with a designations according to I.Q. and points to the center of the graph, labeled "Normal." A red line below the normal area is labeled "State Acceptance." The principal points to the section below the acceptance line labeled "Below."

PRINCIPAL Forrest is right here. The state requires a minimum

I.Q. of eighty to attend public school, Mrs. Gump.

He's gonna have to go to a special school. Now, he'll be

just fine.

甘太太 What does normal mean, anyway? He might be a bit on

the slow side, but my boy Forrest is going to get the

same opportunities as everyone else. He's not going

to some special school to learn to how to re-tread

tires. We're talking about five little points here.

There must be something can be done.

INT. HALLWAY

Forrest sits outside the principal's office.

PRINCIPAL We're a progressive school system. We don't

want to see anybody left behind.

INT. PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

PRINCIPAL Is there a Mr. Gump, Mrs. Gump?

甘太太 He's on vacation.

EXT. GUMP BOARDING HOUSE - NIGHT

Forrest sits on a swing outside the house. Loud organic male grunts are heard coming from inside the house. Forrest sits on the swing as the grunts continue. The principal steps out of the Gump House and wipes the sweat from his face. Forrest is sitting on the porch.

PRINCIPAL Well, your momma sure does care about your

schooling, son. Mm-mm-mm.

The principal wipes the sweat from his neck, then looks back at Forrest.

PRINCIPAL You don't say much, do you?

Forrest grunts, imitating him. The principal, embarrassed, turns and walks away.

INT. GUMP BOARDING HOUSE/FORREST'S BEDROOM

Mrs. Gump reads from the book "Curious George" as Forrest sits on the bed and listens.

甘太太 "Finally, he had to try it. It looked easy, but, oh,

what happened. First there..."

阿甘 Momma, what's vacation mean?

甘太太 Vacation?

阿甘 Where Daddy went?

甘太太 Vacation's when you go somewhere, and you don't ever

come back.

Forrest lies down on his bed and looks up.

阿甘 (voice-over) Anyway, I guess you could say me and

Momma was on our own.

EXT. GUMP BOARDING HOUSE - DAY

A cab driver closes the trunk of the car as two women walk toward the house. A milkman steps down from the porch.
