:56:03
Gump, how can you
watch that stupid shit?
:56:06
Turn it off.
:56:08
You are tuned
to the American forces
:56:10
Vietnam network.
:56:12
This is channel 6, Saigon.
:56:16
Good catch, Gump.
:56:19
You know how to play this?
:56:22
Come on. Let me show you.
:56:26
Now, the secret to this game is
:56:28
no matter what happens,
:56:30
never, ever...
:56:33
take your eye off the ball.
:56:38
All right.
:56:42
For some reason,
:56:43
Ping-Pong came very natural to me.
:56:46
See?
:56:47
Any idiot can play .
:56:49
So I started playing it
all the time.
:56:52
I played Ping-Pong
:56:54
even when I didn't have anyone
to play Ping-Pong with.
:57:06
The hospital's people
:57:07
said it made me look
like a duck in water- -
:57:11
Whatever that means.
:57:12
Even Lieutenant Dan
would come and watch me play.
:57:20
I played Ping-Pong so much,
:57:22
I even played it in my sleep.
:57:32
Now...
:57:33
you listen to me.
:57:34
We all have a destiny .
:57:36
Nothing just happens.
It's all part of a plan!
:57:40
I should have died
out there with my men,
:57:42
but now...l'm nothing
but a god damn cripple,
:57:46
a legless freak!
:57:48
Look. Look! Look at me!
:57:50
You see that?
:57:52
Do you know what it's like
:57:53
not to be able to use your legs?
:57:58
Y-Y -Yes, sir, I do.
