AFTERNOON
4PM FORREST GUMP - Drama, 30 min.
Gump weighs sponsorship.

FORREST GUMP

"Sponsor-Ship Ahoy!"

 

FADE IN: ONBOARD BOAT, DAY

GUMP ENTERS THE CABIN OF JENNY #45 WHERE LT. DAN IS TYING ONE ON OVER THE DEAR JOHN HE GOT FROM HIS ASIAN WIFE.

GUMP

Hey, Lt. Dan. Your recent marital troubles are like a box of Russell Stover chocolates. Wanna know why?

LT. DAN

No, Gump, I don't. But I do want to know why a specific brand of candy is now being referred to. Russell Stover? Why?

GUMP

Well, Lt. Dan, I got to thinking about things. You've managed to hijack my rights to our shrimp dip, the frozen shrimp kabobs, the other type of shrimp-on-a-stick and the Shrimp de' Dan. I said to myself, "Self, why don't I enter into an agreement to throw sponsored witty remarks here and there?"

LT. DAN JABBING THE MORONIC GUMP.

LT. DAN

And what did yourself say?

GUMP

Well, Lt. Dan, I somehow convinced the Russell Stover guys to side with me on this. And not only them but the Ajax guys, the Mr. Clean guys, some chicken company and the Bazooka Bubble Gum guys. So, from now on you'll be hearing lots of new stuff coming from my brain.

LT. DAN

Oh yeah, like what? And won't both the shrimp and chicken products with your likeness or other form of marketing association be somewhat conflicting from the customers' perspective?

GUMP

Well, Lt. Dan, I'd have to think on it a while. I'm not a smart man.

LT. DAN
(underbreath)

You got that right.

GUMP

But if you have to know now, I guess I would say that an example of what I'm going to say is something like this, "You know, Lt. Dan, an old shrimp boat is a lot like a month-old pack of chicken. It don't matter how much you stuff you put on it, it's still a deceased member of the animal kingdom underneath!"

Something like that.

LT. DAN

Goodbye endorsements. Hello legal troubles.
