Jewel : Do you have any children?
Forrest Tucker : I hope not.

Forrest Tucker : If I ever wonder what I'm doing or where I'm going, I just think to myself: "Is that little kid I was when I was just about this tall," I say, "well now, would he have been proud of me?" And if the answer is "no", well then I just keep walking on through. But if the answer is "yes", then I know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
Jewel : So is he proud of you? That little boy?
Forrest Tucker : Oh, he's getting closer every day.
Jewel : But you're never exactly where you're supposed to be, are you? I mean, 'cause if you are, you're dead. And little ten year-old you, he's... y'know, he might have hopes and dreams, but he doesn't understand time or the world like you do. So, I think you gotta keep on keeping on, just living your life, trying new things, just gotta keep on pushing.

Forrest Tucker : Let's take this place. Say it was a bank and say that counter up there was really a tellers window and you just walk in, look calm and so you just walk up, look her in the eye and you say 'ma'am, this is a robbery' and you show her the gun, like this

Forrest Tucker : and you say 'I wouldn't want you to get hurt cause I like you, I like you a lot, so don't go breakin my heart now, ok'

Jewel : 'Cause you think about... ten years from now, where will you be, what'll you be doing? Now, whenever I close the door, I think: "Oh, is this the last time I'll ever have a chance to do whatever that thing was?"
Forrest Tucker : You know what I do when the door closes?
Jewel : What's that?
Forrest Tucker : I jump out the window.

Forrest Tucker : Ahh, you crying? Don't cry. What are you crying for?
Bank teller : This is my first day.
Forrest Tucker : Well there's always a first time for everything isn't there?
