　　EXT. A SAVANNAH STREET - DAY - 1981

　　A feather floats through the air.

　　The falling feather. A city, Savannah, is revealed in the background.

　　The feather floats down toward the city below.

　　The feather drops down toward the street below, as people walk past and

　　cars drive by, and nearly lands on a man's shoulder. He walks across the

　　street, causing the feather to be whisked back on its journey.

　　The feather floats above a stopped car. The car drives off right as the

　　feather floats down toward the street.

　　The feather floats under a passing car, then is sent flying back up in

　　the air.

　　A MAN sits on a bus bench. The feather floats above the ground and

　　finally lands on the man's mud-soaked shoe. The man reached down and

　　picks up the feather.

　　His name is FORREST GUMP. He looks at the feather oddly, moves aside a

　　box of chocolates from an old suitcase, then opens the case. Inside the

　　old suitcase are an assortment of clothes, a ping-pong paddle, toothpaste

　　and other personal items. Forrest pulls out a book titled "Curious

　　George," then places the feather inside the book. Forrest closes the

　　suitcase. Something in his eyes reveals that Forrest may not be all

　　there. Forrest looks right as the sound of an arriving bus is heard.
