Neil
Armstrong (Astronaut): That's one
small step for man, are
giant leaps for mankind...
Forrest: I thought I was going back to Vietnam but instead they
decided the best way for me to fight the communists was to play
ping pong. So I was in the special services, traveling around
the country,
cheering up all those wounded veterans and showin'
how to play ping pong. I was so good that some years later, the
army decide that I should be on the All-American Ping Pong Team.
I was the first American to visit the land of China in like a
million years or something like that. Somebody said would peace
is in our hands. But all I did was play ping pong. When I got
home, I was a national celebrity. Famous even than Captain kangaroo.
TV Host: Here he is, Forrest Gump, right here. Forrest Gump,
John Lennon.
John: Welcome home.
TV Host: Can you tell us, what was China like?
Forrest: In the land of China. People hardly got nothin'at
all.
John: No
possessions ?
Forrest: And in China, they never go to church.
John: No religion, too.
TV Host: Wow. It's hard to imagine.
John: Well, it's easy if you try, Dick.
Forrest: Some years later, that nice young man from England
was on his way home to see his little boy, and was signing some
autographs, for no particular reason at all, somebody shot him. |
