Forrest Gump Quotes

Hi,
In the movie Forrest Gump, the lead character played by Tom Hanks more than 3 times used the singular verbs.

Such as,
We was happy.....

Is that correct to say like this? Or this is completely informal?

Also,
What does the following sentence mean?

Stupid is as stupid does. ?

Many thanks.
