Lt. Dan

Goddammit! What are you doing? Leave

me here! Get away. Just leave me

here! Get out!

Forrest pulls Lt. Dan over his shoulder and runs through the

jungle.

STRONGARM

Leg Lima 6, Leg Lima 6. This is

Strongarm, be advised, your fast

movers are inbound at this time,

over.

FORREST (V.O.)

Then it felt like something just

jumped up and bit me.

Forrest falls down.

FORREST

Ah, something bit me!

Forrest gets up as Lt. Dan yells. Lt. Dan fires his pistol

at the unseen enemy as Forrest pulls him away.

LT. DAN

You dink son-of-a-bitch! I can't

leave the platoon! I told you to

leave me there, Gump. Forget about

me. Get yourself out! Did you hear

what I said! Goddammit, pull me down!

Get your ass out of here!

Forrest drops Lt. Dan down at the bank, next to the other

wounded soldiers. Lt. Dan grabs Forrest by the shirt, angry.

LT. DAN

I didn't ask you to pull me out of

there, goddamn you! What the hell do

you think you're going?

FORREST

To get Bubba.

LT. DAN

I got an air strike inbound right

now. They're gonna nape the whole

area.

Forrest gets up and runs as Lt. Dan yells after him.

LT. DAN

Gump, you stay here, goddammit! That's

an order!

FORREST

I gotta find Bubba!

Forrest runs through the jungle searching for Bubba. Forrest

slows down and looks around carefully.

BUBBA

Forrest...

FORREST

Bubba...

Bubba looks up as he lies on the ground.

BUBBA

I'm okay.

Bubba holds a palm frond over his wound. Forrest removes the

frond to look at the wound. Bubba's chest has been blown

open.

FORREST

Oh, Bubba, no...

BUBBA

Naw, I'm gonna be all right.

Forrest looks around as he hear the voices of the enemy.

FORREST

Come on. Come on. Come here...

Forrest carries Bubba through the jungle. The sound of

approaching planes fills the air.

BUBBA

I'm okay, Forrest. I'm all right.

The roar of approaching planes is deafening. Forrest looks

up in fear. Three planes dive down toward the jungle. They

fire napalm as the jungle explodes with massive fireballs.

Forrest runs, carrying Bubba. The fireballs explode behind

him. The entire jungle area is in flames as Forrest runs.

Forrest carries Bubba to the bank of the river. Lt. Dan and

the other wounded soldiers wait for a rescue helicopter.

LT. DAN

Helo's inbound. Pop smoke, get it up

there!

FORREST (V.O.)

If I'd a known this was gonna be the

last time me and Bubba was gonna

talk, I'd a thought of something

better to say.

Forrest looks down at Bubba. A soldier releases a smoke

canister.

FORREST

Hey, Bubba...

BUBBA

Hey, Forrest. Forrest, why'd this

happen?

FORREST

You got shot.

FORREST (V.O.)

Then Bubba said something I won't

even forget.

BUBBA

I wanna go home.
