Daily Dialogue — January 26, 2014

“If I’d a known this was gonna be the last time for me and Bubba to talk, I would’ve thought of something better to say.”

— Forrest Gump (1994), screenplay by Eric Roth, novel by Winston Groom

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is rescue, suggested by Despina.

Trivia: Forrest and Dan’s Shrimp Emporium “Bubba Gump”, is now a themed restaurant in 33 locations around the world in the U.S., Japan, China, Mexico, Malaysia, Philippines and Bali.

Dialogue On Dialogue: I wanted to use another soldier Forrest rescued — Lieutenant Dan — but couldn’t find a clip. Since Forrest rescued several men in Vietnam, this moment with Bubba is a good one, too. Sad to see his good friend perish. But Bubba’s legacy lived on in the movie… and as the trivia indicates real life as well.
