- Louise, he's here. - FORREST: Now, when I got home, I had no idea, but Mama had had all sorts of visitors. We've had all sorts of visitors, Forrest. Everybody wants you to use their Ping-Pong stuff. One man even left a check for $25,000 if you'd be agreeable to saying you liked using their paddle. Oh, but, Mama, I only like using my own paddle. - Hi, Miss Louise. - Hey, Forrest. I know that. I know that. But it's $25,000, Forrest. I thought maybe you could hold it for a while, see if it grows on you. - Oh, you look good, Forrest. - That Mama, she sure was right. - You look real good. - It's funny how things work out. I didn't stay home for long, because I'd made a promise to Bubba, and I always try to keep my promise. So, I went on down to Bayou La Batre to meet Bubba's family and make their introduction. Are you crazy, orjust plain stupid?

Since people still needed them shrimps for shrimp cocktails and barbecues and all, and we were the only boat left standing, Bubba-Gump Shrimp's what they got. We got a whole bunch of boats, 12 Jennys, a big old warehouse. We even have hats that say "Bubba-Gump" on them. Bubba-Gump Shrimp. It's a household name. Hold on there, boy. Are you telling me you're the owner of the Bubba-Gump Shrimp Corporation? Yes, sir. We got more money than Davy Crockett. (LAUGHING) Boy, I heard some whoppers in my time, but that tops them all.

Security, Frank Wills. Yeah, sir, you might want to send a maintenance man over to that office across the way. The lights are off, and they must be looking for a fuse box or something, 'cause them flashlights, they're keeping me awake. Okay, sir. I'll check it out. - Thank you. - No problem. - Good night. - Good night.

FORREST: I guess Lieutenant Dan figured there's some things you just can't change. He didn't want to be called crippled, just like I didn't want to be called stupid.

- Hello, Forrest. - Hello, Jenny. Jenny came back and stayed with me. Maybe it was because she had nowhere else to go, or maybe it was because she was so tired, 'cause she went to bed and slept and slept, like she hadn't slept in years. It was wonderful having her home. Every day we'd take a walk and I'd jabber on like a monkey in a tree, and she'd listen about Ping-Ponging, and shrimping, and Mama making a trip up to heaven. I did all the talking. Jenny most of the time was real quiet.

Hurricane Carmen came through here yesterday, destroying nearly everything in its path. And as in other towns up and down the coast, Bayou La Batre's entire shrimping industry has fallen victim to Carmen and has been left in utter ruin. Speaking with local officials, this reporter has learned, in fact, only one shrimping boat actually survived the storm.
