Forrest:
Anyway. I guess you could say me and mama was on our own, but we
didn't mind. Our house was never empty. There was always
folks coming and going.
Sometimes we had so many people staying with us that every room
was filled with travelers. You know, folks livin' out of their
suit cases and hat cases, and sample cases. One time a young man
was staying with us and he had him a guitar case.
(Forrest dances as the traveler sings "Hound Dog")
Mrs.Gump:
Forrest, I told you not to bother this nice young man.
Elvis Presley: No, that's all right
ma'am . I was just showing
him a thing or two on the guitar here.
Mrs.Gump: Alright. Supper's ready if y'all want to eat.
Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you,ma'am. Say, man,
show me that crazy little walk you just did there. Slow it down
some. "You ain't
nothin' but a hound dog..."
Forrest: I liked that guitar. It sounded good. I started
moving around to the music,
swingin' my hips. This night, me and
mama was out shoppin' and we walked right by Pitsey's Furnature
and Appliance store, Guess what... (Elvis was on TV dancing the
way that Forrest taught him)
Mrs.Gump: This is not for
children's eyes.
Forrest: Some years later, that handsome young man who they
called "The King", well he sung too many songs. He had himself a
heart attack or something. Must be hard being the king... |
