i saw forrest gump a few days back , theres this scene where he is going to talk about vietnam to a bigcrowd of hippies i guess , then he starts talking but they cut the mikes , well i wanted to know if he actually said something and if he did what was it , anybody know.
i dont think he said anything
yer of course he said something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, if u watch it, u see the generals, or army officiers pull out the mics. all he talks about is how he is opposed to the war, in his own forest gump way.
I think I know what he said. Here's what you do hear.
FORREST
Well...
FORREST (V.O.)
There was only one thing I could say
about the war in Vietnam.
FORREST
...there was only one thing I could
say about the war in Vietnam.
Forrest looks at the crowd as he speaks. A policeman looks
around as he sneaks over to the audio circuit board.
FORREST
In Vietnam war...
The policeman pulls the patch cords out of the audio board.
Forrest's amplified voice becomes inaudible. Forrest continues
to speak into the microphone, even though no one can hear
what he is saying. Hilary looks over and notices the
policeman. Hilary rushes over toward the audio board, pushes
the policeman away and grabs his night stick. Another
protester grabs the policeman and pulls him away.
POLICEMAN
Hey, what the hell are you doing?
HILARY
I'll beat your head in, you goddamned
oinker!
Isabel, Hilary and another protester try to plug the tangled
mess of wires back into the audio board.
ISABEL
Christ, what'd they do with this?
Forrest continues to speak into the microphone. The crowd
grows restless.
CROWD
We can't hear you! We can't hear
anything!
HILARY
This one! This one! Give me that!
Hilary plugs in the right patch cord.
HILARY
That's it.
FORREST
...and that's all I have to say about
that.
He repeats that last line again here.
FORREST (V.O.)
Bubba was my best good friend. And
even I know that ain't something you
can find just around the corner.
Bubba was gonna be a shrimpin' boat
captain, but instead he died right
there by that river in Vietnam.
The helicopter fly overhead.
BUS STATION - DAY
Forrest continues with his life story. A MAN is sitting next
to Forrest on the bus bench.
FORREST
That's all I have to say about that.
