:06:02
All right.
:06:04
What are y'all staring at?
:06:06
Haven't you ever seen
:06:07
a little boy with braces
on his legs before ?
:06:11
Don't ever let anybody
:06:13
tell you they're better
than you, Forrest.
:06:15
If God intended everybody
to be the same,
:06:17
he'd have given us all
braces on our legs.
:06:20
Mama always hada way of explaining
things so I could understand them.
:06:24
We lived about a quarter mile
off Route 17,
:06:28
about a halfmile from the town
of Greenbow, Alabama.
:06:31
That's in the county
of Greenbow.
:06:34
Our house had been
in Mama's family
:06:37
since her grandpa's
grandpa's grandpa
:06:39
had come across the ocean
about a thousand years ago.
:06:42
Since it was just me and Mama
:06:44
and we had all these empty rooms,
:06:46
Mama decided to let those rooms out,
:06:49
mostly to people passing through,
:06:50
Iike from, oh, Mobile,
Montgomery, places like that.
:06:54
That'show me and Mama got money.
:06:57
Mama was a real smart lady.
:06:59
Remember what I told you, Forrest.
:07:01
You're no different
than anybody else is.
:07:06
Did you hear
what I said, Forrest?
:07:09
You're the same
as everybody else.
:07:11
You are no different.
:07:13
Your boy's...different,
Mrs. Gump.

His I.Q is 75.

She wan ted me to have
the finest education
:07:29
so she to ok me to
the Greenbow County Central School.
:07:33
I met the principal and all.
:07:35

Mrs. Gump.
:07:39
Now, this is normal.
:07:41

The state require s

:07:50

go to a special school.
:07:55
Now, he'll bejust fine.
:07:57
What does normal mean anyway ?
