:18:01
Does this mean I can't
play Ping-Pong no more ?
:18:04
For the army, it does.
:18:08
Andjust like that,
:18:10
my service in
the United States Army was over.
:18:18
So I went home.
:18:40
I'm home, Mama.
:18:42
I know. I know .
:18:45
Louise, he's here .
:18:47
Now, when I got home,
I had no idea,
:18:50
but Mama had all sorts
of visitors.
:18:52
We've had all sorts of visitors .
:18:54
Everybody wants you
to use their Ping-Pong stuff.
:18:57
One man even left
a check for $25,000
:19:00
if you'd be agree able to saying
you like using their paddle.
:19:04
I only like using
my own paddle.
:19:06
Hi, Miss Louise.
:19:08
Hey, Forrest.
:19:09
I know that,
but it's $25,000, Forrest.
:19:12
I thought maybe
you could hold it for a while,
:19:15
see if it grows on you.
:19:18
That Mama, shesure was right.
:19:19
It's funny how things work out.
:19:22
I didn't stay home for long
:19:24
because I'd made
apromise to Bubba,
:19:26
and I always try
to keep my promise,
:19:29
so I went on down
to Bayou La Batre
:19:31
to meet Bubba's family.
:19:33
Are you crazy
or just plain stupid?
:19:37
Stupid is as stupid does,
Mrs. Blue.
:19:40
I guess.
:19:41
And, of course,
:19:43
I paid my respect
to Bubba himself.
:19:47
Hey, Bubba.
It's me, Forrest Gump.
:19:53
I remember everything
you said,
:19:54
and I got it
all figured out.
:19:59
I'm taking $24,562.47
