阿甘正传英文剧本 五

Newsman: Moments ago, at 2:25 p.m. as President Reagan was leaving... Five or six gun shots were fired by an unknown would-be assassin. The president was shot in the chest....

Louise: I picked up the mail.

Forrest: One day, out of blue clear sky, I got a letter from Jenny, wonderin’ if I could come down to Savanah and see her, and that’s what I’m doing here. She saw me on TV runnin’. I supposed to go on the number 9 bus to Richmond Street and get off and go one block left to 1947 Herry Street, Apartment 4.

Woman: Why, you don’t need take a bus, Herry Street is just 5 or 6 blocks down that way.

Forrest: Down that way?

Woman: Down that way.

Forrest: I was nice talking to you.

Woman: I hope everything works out for you.

Jenny: Forrest! How you doin’? Come in, come in.

Forrest: I got your letter.

Jenny: Oh! I wondered about that.

Forrest: This is your house.

Jenny: Yeah, it’s messy right now, I just got off work.

Forrest: It’s nice. You’ve got air-conditioning.

Jenny: Thank you.

Forrest: I ate some.

Jenny: I kept a scrap book of your clippings and everything. There you are. I got you running.

Forrest: I ran a long way. It was a long time.

Jenny: Listen, Forrest, I don’t know how to say this... I just, I want to apologize for anything I ever did to you ‘cause I was messed up for a long time and...

Friend: Yoohoo! Hi!

Jenny: Hey you! This is an old friend from Alabama.

Friend: Hi, how do you do?

Jenny: Listen, next week my schedule changes, so I’ll be able to...

Friend: No problem. Gotta go, Jen. I’m double-parked. Bye!

Jenny: This is my very good friend, Mr. Gump. Can you say hi to him.

Little Forrest: Hello, Mr.Gump.

Forrest: Hello.

Little Forrest: Can I go watch TV now?

Jenny: Yes you can, just keep it low.

Forrest: You’re a mama, Jenny.

Jenny: I’m a mama. His name is Forrest.

Forrest: Like me!

Jenny: I named him after his daddy.

Forrest: He’s got a daddy named Forrest, too?

Jenny: You’re his daddy, Forrest. Hey, Forrest, look at me. There’s nothing you need to do. You didn’t do anything wrong. OK? Isn’t he beautiful?

Forrest: He’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. But, is he smart or is he...

Jenny: He’s very smart. He’s one of the smartest in his class. Yeah, it’s OK. Go talk to him... Forrest, I’m sick.

Forrest: What, do you have a cough or a cold?

Jenny: I have some kind of virus and the doctors don’t know what it is and there isn’t anything they can do about it.

Forrest: You can come home with me, Jenny. You and little Forrest could come stay at my house in Greenbow. I’ll take care of you if you’re sick.

Jenny: Would you marry me, Forrest.

Forrest: OK.

Louise: Forrest, it’s time to start.

Jenny: Hi. You’re tired.

Forrest: Lieutenant Dan. Lieutenant Dan.

Dan: Hello, Forrest.

Forrest: You got new legs. New legs.

Dan: Yeah, I got new legs. Custom made. Titanium alloy. It’s what they use on the space shuttle.

Forrest: Magic legs.

Dan: This is my fiancee, Susan.

Forrest: Lieutenant Dan.

Susan: Hi, Forrest.

Forrest: Lieutenant Dan, this is my Jenny.

Jenny: Hi. It’s nice to meet you finally.

Priest: Do you, Forrest, take Jenny to be your wife? Do you, Jenny, take Forrest to be your husband?

Jenny: Hey.

Forrest: Howdy.

Jenny: Hey, Forrest. Were you scared in Vietnam.

Forrest: Yes, well, I don’t know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out and then it was nice; it was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou. There was over a million sparkles on the water. That mountain lake was so clear, Jenny, it looked like it was two skies, one on top of the other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up, I couldn’t tell where where heaven stopped and the Earth began. It was so beautiful.

Jenny: I wish I could have been there with you.

Forrest: You were.

Jenny: I love you.

Forrest: You died on a Saturday morning and I had you placed here under our tree. And I had house of your father’s bulldozed to the ground. Mama always said dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn’t. Little Forrest is doing just fine. He’s about to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth everyday. I ‘m teachin’ him how to play ping pong. We fish a lot, and every night we read a book. He’s so smart, Jenny. You’d be so proud of him. I am. He even wrote you a letter. He says I can’t read it. It’s Forrest’s so I’ll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don’t know if mama was right or if it’s Lieutenant Dan. I don’t know if we each have a destiny or if we’re all just floating around accidental like on a breeze but I think that maybe it’s both. Maybe both are happening at the same time. If there’s anything you need, I won’t be far away.

(later)

Forrest: Here’s your bus. OK. Hey, I know this.

Little Forrest: I’m going to show that for show-and-tell because grandma used to read it to you.

Forrest: My favorite book. OK. Here you go. Hey, Forrest, I want to tell you I love you.

Little Forrest: I love you too, daddy.

Forrest: I’ll be right here when you get back.

Dorothy: You understand that this is the bus to the school now, don’t you?

Little Forrest: Of course, and you’re Dorathy Harris, and I am Forrest Gump.
