Forrest’s voice-over: One time a young man was staying with us, and he had with him a guitar case.
Elvis: (sings) “Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit, and you ain’t no friend of mine.”
Forrest’s legs rock back and forth to the guitar.
Mrs. Gump: Forrest! I told you not to bother this nice young man.
Elvis: Oh, no, that’s all right, ma’am. I was just showin’ him a thing or two on the guitar here.
Mrs. Gump: All right, but your supper’s ready if y’all want to eat.
Elvis: Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you, ma’am.
Mrs. Gump leaves and closes the door. Elvis sits back down.
Elvis: Say, man, show me that crazy little walk you just did there. Slow it down some.
Forrest begins to dance again as Elvis plays the guitar and sings.
Elvis: (sings) “You ain’t nothin’ but a hound, hound dog…”
Forrest’s voice-over: I liked that guitar. It sounded good.
Elvis: (sings) “…cryin’ all the time”
Forrest rocks up and down on his braced legs, then begins to step.
Elvis: (sings) “You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog…”
Forrest’s voice-over: I started moving around to the music, swinging my hips.
This one night me and Momma was out shoppin’, and we walked right by Benson’s Furniture and Appliance store, and guess what.
Elvis: (sings) “You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog…”
Forrest’s voice-over: Some years later, that handsome young man who they called “The King”, well, he sung too many songs, had himself a heart attack or something.
