(holding out both of his arms)

Gump, have you noticed my arms getting shorter?

(looking at Lt. Dan's arms)

Lt. Dan, like your legs are?

My legs were cut off in the war. Remember?

My mama always said I had a leg up on other dummies.

Because you had in-tact legs? And arms?

I'm not a smart man. But I do have my extremities.

LT. DAN IS NOT APPRECIATING GUMP NOT TAKING HIM SERIOUSLY.

Gump, how about making an appointment for me 'bout my shortening arms.

Lt. Dan, you know I don't know how to dial a phone! But, I can walk.

Gump, are you trying to antagonize me?

I'm not a smart man. But my mama always said antagonism to the extreme was like a box of choc-

No! I can't take it!

(beat)

You and I both know your mother never said word one about extreme antagonism as compared to chocolate candy!

Like I said, I'm not a smart man.

I b'lieve you did mention that.
