Forrest: Now they told us that Vietnam was going to be very different from the Untied States of America. Except for all the beer cans and the barbecue, it was.
Bubba: I bet there's shrimp all in these waters. They tell me these Vietnams is good shrimp. After we win this war, and we take over something, we can get American shrimpers to come out and shrimp these waters. Just shrimp all the time, man. So much shrimp...
Dan: You must be my FNGs.
Gump and Bubba: Morning, Sir! (saluting Dan)
Dan: Get your hands down. Do not salute me. There are goddam snipers all around this area who would love to grease an officer. I'm Lieutenant Dan Tayler. Welcome to 4th Platoon. What’s wrong with your lip?
Bubba: I was born with big gums, sir.
Dan: Yeah, well you better tuck that in. You’re going to get that caught on a tripwire. Where are you boys from in the world?
Gump and Bubba: Alabama, sir!
Dan: You twins?
Gump: No, we are not relations, sir.
Dan: Look, it's pretty basic here. Stick with me, and you learn from the guys who have been in country for a while. You'll be all right. There is one item of GI gear that can be the difference between a live grunt and dead grunt, socks. Cushion sole, OD green. Try and keep your feet dry. When we’re out humpin’ I want you boys to remember to change your socks whenever we stop. The Mekong will eat a grunt’s feet right off his legs.
Supply officer: Seargent Sams.
Dan: Goddamnit! Where is that sling rope I told you to order?
Supply officer: I put in the requisition at batallion.
Dan: Yeah, yeah well you call those sons-of-bitches.
Gump: Lieutenant Dan sure knew his stuff. I felt real lucky he was my lieutenant. He was from a long, great, military tradition. Somebody in his family had fought, and died, in every single American war.
Dan: Goddamit, kick some ass!
