:07:00
so I was in the special Services,
:07:02
traveling around the country,
:07:03
cheering up wounded veterans
and showing'em
:07:06
how to play Ping-Pong.
:07:07
I was so good
that some years later,
:07:10
the army decided I should be
:07:12
on the all-American Ping-Pong team.
:07:14
We were the first Americans
to visit the land of China
:07:17
in a million years or something.
:07:20
Somebody said world peace
was in our hands,
:07:23
but all I did was play Ping-Pong.
:07:25
When I got home,
I was a national celebrity ,
:07:28
famouser even
than Captain Kangaroo.
:07:30
Here he is, Forrest Gump.
:07:32
Right here.
:07:39
Gump, have a seat.
:07:42
Forrest Gump, John Lennon.
:07:45
Welcome home.
:07:47
Can you tell us, um,
:07:48
what was China like ?
:07:54
In the land of China...
:07:56
people hardly got nothin'at all.
:07:58
No possessions?
:08:02
And in China,
they never go to church.
:08:07
No religion, too?
:08:08
Oh.
:08:10
Hard to imagine.
:08:12
Well, it's easy if you try, Dick.
:08:15
Some years later,
:08:16
that nice young man from England
:08:18
was on his way home
to see his little boy
:08:21
and was signing some autographs.
:08:23
For no particular reason at all,
:08:25
Somebody shot him.
:08:30
They gave you...
:08:32
the congressional Medal of Honor.
:08:35
Now, that's Lieutenant Dan.
:08:39
Lieutenant Dan!
:08:41
They gave you...
:08:43
the congressional
Medal of Honor.
:08:47
Yes, sir.
They surely did.
:08:49
They gave you,
:08:51
an imbecile,
:08:52
a moron who goes on television
:08:54
and makes a fool out of himself
:08:57
in front of
the whole damn country,
