:46:00
I'd think a lot...
:46:02
about Mama and Bubba
and Lieutenant Dan.
:46:06
But most of all,
:46:08
I thought about Jenny.
:46:10
I thought about her a lot.
:46:14
For more than two years,
:46:15
a man named Forrest Gump,
:46:17
a gardener from Greenbow, Alabama,
stopping only to sleep,
:46:20
has been running across America.
:46:22
Charles Cooper
brings you this report.
:46:24
For the fourth time
:46:25
on his journey across America,
:46:27
Forrest Gump, the gardener
from Greenbow, Alabama,
:46:29
is about to cross
the Mississippi River again today.
:46:32
I'll be damned. Forrest?
:46:34
Sir, where are you running?
:46:36
Are you doing this
for world peace?
:46:38
Are you doing this
for the homeless?
:46:40
Are you running
for women's rights?
:46:42
The environment?
:46:43
they just couldn't believe
:46:45
that Somebody would do
all that running
:46:47
for no particular reason.
:46:48
Why are you doing this?
:46:50
I just felt like running.
:46:52
I just felt like runnin'.
:46:55
That's you.
:46:56
I can't believe it's really you.
:46:58
Now...for some reason,
:47:00
what I was doing seemed to...
:47:02
make sense to people.
:47:04
It was like an alarm
went off in my head.
:47:07
I said, "Here's a guy
that's got his act together.
:47:10
Here's somebody
who has the answer."
:47:11
I'll follow you
anywhere, Mr. Gump.
:47:13
So I got company.
:47:17
And after that,
I got more company.
:47:20
And then, even
more people joined in.
:47:25
Somebody later told me
:47:27
it gave people hope.
:47:30
Now--
:47:31
Now, I don't know
anything about that,
:47:33
but some of those people asked me
:47:36
if I could help them out.
:47:38
I was wondering
if you might help me.
:47:40
I'm in the bumper sticker business.
:47:42
I need a good slogan,
:47:44
and since you've
been so inspirational,
:47:45
I thought you might
be able to help me--
:47:48
Whoa, man! You just ran
:47:50
through a big pile of dog shit!
:47:53
It happens.
:47:55
What, shit?
:47:57
Sometimes.
