FORREST. The policeman pulls the patch cords out of the audio board.

In Vietnam war...

The policeman pulls the patch cords out of the audio board.

Forrest's amplified voice becomes inaudible. Forrest continues

to speak into the microphone, even though no one can hear

what he is saying. Hilary looks over and notices the

policeman. Hilary rushes over toward the audio board, pushes

the policeman away and grabs his night stick. Another

protester grabs the policeman and pulls him away.

POLICEMAN

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

HILARY

I'll beat your head in, you goddamned

oinker!

Isabel, Hilary and another protester try to plug the tangled

mess of wires back into the audio board.

ISABEL

Christ, what'd they do with this?

Forrest continues to speak into the microphone. The crowd

grows restless.

CROWD

We can't hear you! We can't hear

anything!

HILARY

This one! This one! Give me that!

Hilary plugs in the right patch cord.

HILARY

That's it.

FORREST

...and that's all I have to say about

that.

Forrest looks at the massive crowd. They are silent. Abbie

Hoffman steps over to Forrest and pats him on the shoulder.

ABBIE HOFFMAN

That's so right on, man. You said it

all. What's your name, man?

FORREST

My name is Forrest Gump. Forrest

Gump.

ABBIE HOFFMAN

Forrest Gump!

Abbie raises his fist into the air. Abbie steps away from

Forrest. The crowd cheers.

CROWD

Forrest Gump!

JENNY

(screaming)

Forrest! Forrest!

Jenny wades out into the reflection pool and waves her hand

into the air. Forrest recognizes her.

FORREST

Jenny!

Forrest rushes off the stage as Jenny makes her way out into

the pool.

JENNY

Forrest!

Forrest jumps down into the crowd and runs. Jenny smiles as

she tries to run through the water. The crowd parts as Forrest

runs into the pool. Jenny rushes toward him.

JENNY

Hey! Hey!

The massive crowd cheers for the embracing couple in the

pool.

FORREST (V.O.)

It was the happiest moment of my

life.

EXT. WASHINGTON MONUMENT/PROTESTER'S ENCAMPMENT - NIGHT

Forrest and Jenny walk past the protesters who are camping

out on the lawn.

FORREST (V.O.)

Jenny and me were just peas and

carrots again. She showed me around,

and even introduced me...

INT. BLACK PANTHER HEADQUARTERS/STOREFRONT, D.C. - NIGHT

Forrest stands at an open window and looks at the White House.

FORREST (V.O.)

...to some of her new friends.

A Black Panther, named RUBEN, steps over and pulls the shades

down.

RUBEN

Shut that blind, man. And get your

white ass away from that window.

Don't you know we in war here?

Another Black Panther named MASAI grabs Forrest and pats him

down.

JENNY

Hey man, he's cool. He's cool. He's

one of us. He's one of us.

MASAI

Let me tell you about us.

WESLEY

Where the hell have you been?

JENNY

I ran into a friend.

MASAI

Our purpose here is to protect our

black leaders from the racial

onslaught of the pig who wishes to

brutalize our black leaders, rape

our women, and destroy our black

communists.
