...pour here in Times Square. It's

been off-and-on all night, but these

people hang in there.

Jenny fills her bag with her belongings.

FORREST (V.O.)

Wondering how she was spending her

New Year's night out in California.

A man lies passed out on the bed. Jenny looks at her black

eye in a mirror, then leaves the apartment. The TV shows the

ball in Times Square.

CROWD

INT. TIMES SQUARE BAR - NIGHT

The ball is lowered, lighting up a sign that reads " 1972."

CROWD

(over television)

...1! Happy New Year!

The people in the bar cheer and kiss each other. They blow

horns and toss confetti into the air. Forrest looks around

as Carla and Lenore lean over and kiss him.

PATRONS

(sing)

" Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and never brought to mind...

FORREST

Happy New Year, Lieutenant Dan!

PATRONS

(sing)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and days of auld lang syne."

INT. LT. DAN'S HOTEL ROOM - LATER

Carla removes her top and sits on top of Dan in his

wheelchair. They kiss and play around. Forrest sits in a

chair. Lenore leaps on him and begins to kiss Forrest. She

reaches down to Forrest's crotch. Forrest stands up nervously,

causing Lenore to fall down on the floor. Lenore stands up,

angry.

LENORE

What are you, stupid or something?

What's your problem? What's his

problem? Did you lose your pecker in

the war or something?

CARLA

What, is your friend stupid or

something?

LT. DAN

What did you say?

CARLA

I said, is your friend stupid or

something?

LT. DAN

Hey! Don't call him stupid!

Lt. Dan throws Carla back onto the bed.

CARLA

Don't push me like that!

LENORE

Hey, don't you push her!

LT. DAN

You shut up! Don't you ever call him

stupid!

CARLA

What's the matter, baby? Why you

treating me like shit?

LT. DAN

Get the hell out of here!

LENORE

You stupid gimp. You belong in

" Ripley's Believe It Or Not."

LT. DAN

Get the hell out of here! Go on!

LENORE

You should be in a side show!

LT. DAN

Go on! Get out of here! Get out of

here!

LENORE

You big loser!

CARLA

Come on, Lenore. We don't need this

shit!

LENORE

You're so pathetic.

LT. DAN

Get out of here!

Lt. Dan falls out of his wheelchair and lands down on the

floor. Carla and Lenore laugh as they leave the apartment.

CARLA

You retard!

LENORE

You loser! You freak!

Forrest tries to help Lt. Dan. Lt. Dan pushes Forrest away.

LT. DAN

No!

Forrest steps back as Lt. Dan flips back over, then pulls

himself back up onto his wheelchair. He breathes heavily.

FORREST

I'm sorry I ruined your New Year's

Eve party, Lieutenant Dan. She tastes

like cigarettes.
