• Drill Sergeant : Gump! What's your sole purpose in this army?

  Forrest Gump : To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!

  Drill Sergeant : God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump. Listen up, people...

  Forrest Gump : [narrates]  Now for some reason I fit in the army like one of them round pegs. It's not really hard. You just make your bed real neat and remember to stand up straight and always answer every question with "Yes, drill sergeant."

  Drill Sergeant : ...Is that clear?

  Forrest Gump : Yes, drill sergeant!

• [Forrest has finished assembling his rifle] 

  Forrest Gump : DONE, DRILL SERGEANT!

  Drill Sergeant : GUUUUUUMP! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?

  Forrest Gump : [confused]  You told me to, Drill Sergeant?

  Drill Sergeant : Jesus H. Christ!

  [looks at stopwatch] 

  Drill Sergeant : This is a new company record! If it wouldn't be such a waste of a damn-fine enlisted man I'd recommend you for OCS! You are gonna be a general someday, Gump, now disassemble your weapon and continue!
