Forest Gump – The Elvis Presley Scene

Forest Gump – The Elvis Presley Scene

– Our house was never empty. There was always folks comin’ and goin’.
– Suppa. It’s suppa, everyone. Forrest…
– My, my. That sure looks special.
– Gentlemen, would you care to join us for supper? Hurry up and get it before the flies do. I prefer you don’t smoke that cigar so close to mealtime.
– Sometimes we had so many people stayin’ with us that every room was filled with travellers. You know, folks livin’ out of their suitcases, and hat cases, and sample cases.
– Well, you go ahead and start. I can’t find Forrest. Forrest… Forrest…
– One time a young man was staying with us, and he had him a guitar case.
– “Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit, and you ain’t no friend of mine.”
– Forrest! I told you not to bother this nice young man.
– Oh, no, that’s all right, ma’am. I was just showin’ him a thing or two on the guitar here.
– All right, but your supper’s ready  if y’all want to eat.
– 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, hound dog…”
– I liked that guitar. It sounded good. I started moving around to the music,  swinging my hips. This one night me and Momma…..was out shoppin’, and we walked right by Benson’s Furniture and Appliance store, and guess what.
– You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog.. You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog…
– This is not for children’s eyes.
– Some years later, that handsome young man who they called “The King,” well, he sung too many songs, had himself a heart attack or something. Must be hard being a king.
