Not a line, but when my dogs are staring at me, I wave at them like this:

I used to work with a guy named Bubba.

I was always throwing in the lines

Maverick, whenever my brother-in-law and I refer to the Crimson Tide, we say it just like Gump, with the same volume and emphasis; Ala-BAM-a!

One of the subtle funny parts is when he's on the bus with Bubba and Bubba goes on and on about shrimping, and finally when he finishes Forrest just says "ohhkkk..."

Got a buddy named Dan. In our circle, he goes by LT. We also remind him he doesn't have legs.

He actually does have legs......

It’s not so much the line as much as it’s the line reading, but it’s when Forest is responding to Lieutenant Dan when they come up empty shrimp fishing.

“How are we going to find them”

It’s how Tom Hanks reads the line that I just can’t stop laughing at

What’s wrong with your lip?

Nothing sir I got big gums.

Well you better tuck that in or you’ll get it caught in some trip wire.

Maybe not funniest but one of my favorites...

Lieutenant Dan got me invested in some kind of fruit company. And then I got a call from him, saying we don’t have to worry about money no more. And I said, that’s good!
