FORREST (V.O.). So I went to church every Sunday






So I went to church every Sunday...

 

Lt. Dan is sitting in his chair at the back of the church.

He takes swigs from a liquor bottle.

 

FORREST (V.O.)

Sometimes Lieutenant Dan came, too.

Though I think he left the praying

up to me.

 

EXT. BOAT - ANOTHER DAY

 

A catch of junk is dumped onto the deck. Lt. Dan lowers

himself from the rigging.

 

FORREST

No shrimp.

 

LT. DAN

Where the hell's this God of yours?

 

The wind begins to blow strong.

 

FORREST (V.O.)

It's funny Lieutenant Dan said that,

'cause right then, God showed up.

 

EXT. BOAT - NIGHT

 

Water sprays on deck during a hurricane. Lt. Dan on the

rigging, shouts and shakes his fist as he is pelted by wind

and rain.

 

LT. DAN

You'll never sink this boat!

 

FORREST (V.O.)

Now me, I was scared. But Lieutenant

Dan, he was mad.

 

LT. DAN

Come on! You call this a storm?

 

Forrest slides back and forth as he attempts to steer the

boat.

 

LT. DAN

Blow, you son-of-a-bitch! Blow! It's

time for a showdown! You and me. I'm

right here. Come and get me! You'll

never sink this boat!

 

INT. GUMP HOUSE - DAY

 

An ANCHORMAN over TV, is standing in front of a pier.

 

ANCHORMAN

(over television)

Hurricane Carmen came through here

yesterday...

 

EXT. BAYOU DOCKS - DAY

 

The anchorman is standing in front of the ruined pier and

boats.

 

ANCHORMAN

...destroying nearly everything in

its path. And as in other towns up

and down the coast, Bayou La Batre's

entire shrimping industry...

 

INT. GUMP HOUSE

 

ANCHORMAN

...has fallen victim to Carmen and

has been left in utter ruin. Speaking

with local officials, this reporter

has learned, in fact, only one

shrimping boat actually survived the

storm.

 

Forrest's boat comes down the river.

 

MRS. GUMP

Louise. Louise, there's Forrest!

 

FORREST (V.O.)

After that, shrimpin' was easy.

 

FORREST'S BOAT - DAY

 

Lt. Dan and Forrest empty their net. A huge catch of shrimp

falls onto the deck. Lt. Dan opens another big catch.

 

Another catch drops open on top of yet another huge catch.

 

Forrest and Lt. Dan smile.

 

FORREST (V.O.)

And since people still needed them

shrimps for shrimp cocktails and

barbecues and all...

 

EXT. BUS STOP - PRESENT

 

The man sitting on the bench listens to Forrest. An ELDERLY

WOMAN sits next to the man.

 

FORREST

...and we were the only boat left

standing " Bubba-Gump" shrimp's what

they got. We got a whole bunch of

boats. Twelve Jenny's, a big ol'

warehouse, we even have hats that

says " Bubba-Gump" on 'em. " Bubba-

Gump Shrimp." It's a household name.

 

MAN

Hold on there, boy. Are you telling

me you're the owner of the Bubba-

Gump Shrimp Corporation?

 

FORREST

Yes, sir. We've got more money than

Davy Crocket.

 

MAN

Boy, I've heard some whoppers in my

time, but that tops them all. We was

sitting next to a millionaire!

 

The man laughs as he walks away.
