Forrest:
You died on a Saturday morning and I had you placed here under
our tree. And I had house of your father's bulldozed to the
ground. Mama always said dying was a part of life. I sure wish
it wasn't. Little Forrest is doing
just fine. He's about to start school again
soon. I make his breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. I make
sure he combs his hair and brushes
his teeth every day. I 'm teachin' him how to play ping pong. He
is really good. We
fish a lot, and every night we read a book. He's so smart,
Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He even wrote you a
letter. He says I can't read it. It's Forrest's so I'll just
leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if mama was right or
if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't
know if we each have a
destiny or if we're all just floating around accidental like on a
breeze but I think
that maybe it's both. Maybe both are happening at the same time.
I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away.
(later)
Forrest: Here's your bus. OK. Hey, I know this.
Little Forrest: I'm going to show that for
show-and-tell because
grandma used to read it to you.
Forrest: My favorite book. OK. Here you go. Hey, Forrest, I
want to tell you I love you.
Little Forrest: I love you too, daddy.
Forrest: I'll be right here when you get back.
Dorothy: You understand that this is the bus to the school
now, don't you?
Little Forrest: Of course, and you're Dorathy Harris, and I
am Forrest Gump. |
