Hello. My name's Forrest. Forrest Gump.
Do you want a chocolate?
I could eat about a million and a half of these.
My mama always said...
life was like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're gonna get.
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.
My feet hurt.
Mama always said
there's an awful lot you could tell about a person
by their shoes: Where they're going,
where they've been.
I've worn lots of shoes.
I bet if I think about it real hard,
I could remember my first pair of shoes.
Mama said they'd take me anywhere.
