Forrest Gump 03
Little Jenny: Well, are you going to sit down or aren’t you? What’s wrong with your legs?
Gump: Nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and Dandy*.
Forrest: I just sat next to her on that bus and had a conversation all the way to school.
Gump: The doctor says my back’s crooked like a question mark. These are going to make me as straight as an arrow.
Forrest: Next to* mama, no one ever talked to me or asked me questions.
Little Jenny: Are you stupid or something?
Gump: Mama says “Stupid is as stupid does.”
Little Jenny: I’m Jenny. Gump: I’m Forrest. Forrest Gump.
Forrest: From that day on, we were always together. Jenny and me were like peas and carrots*. She taught me how to climb. I showed her how to Dangle. She helped me learn how to read, and I showed her how to swing. Sometimes we’d just sit out and wait for the stars.
Gump: Mama’s going to worry about me.
Little Jenny: Just stay a little longer.
Forrest: For some reason, Jenny didn’t ever want to go home.
Gump: OK, Jenny. I’ll stay.
Forrest: She was my most special friend... My only friend. Now, my mama always told me that miracles happen everyday. Some people don’t think so.But they do.
Bully1: Hey, dummy*! Are you dumb, or just plain stupid?
Bully2: Look, I’m Forrest Gump.
Little Jenny: Just run away, Forrest. Run, Forrest. Run away.Hurry!
Bully2: Get the bikes. Hurry up.
Bully1: Look out, dummy, here we come. Gonna get you!
Little Jenny: Run, Forrest. Run, Forrest.
Bully1: Come back here, you!
Little Jenny: Run, Forrest, Run!
Forrest:
Now, You wouldn’t believe it if I told you. But I can run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I was running! Man in store: That boy sure is a run fool.
Forrest: Now, remember how I told you that Jenny never seemed to want to go home? Well, she lived in a house that was as old as Alabama. Her mama had gone up to heaven when she was five and her daddy was some kind of a farmer.
Gump: (knock on the door) Jenny?
Forrest: He was a very loving man. He was always kissin’ and touchin’ her and her sisters. And then this one time, Jenny wasn’t on the bus to go to school.
Gump: Jenny, why didn’t you come to school today?
Little Jenny: Shh! Daddy’s taking a nap.
Father: Jenny!
Little Jenny: C’mon!
Father: Jenny! Where’d you run to? You’d better get back here, girl. Jenny? Where you at?
Little Jenny: Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me. Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away from here. Dear God, make me a bird...So I can fly far…
Forrest:
Mama always said that God is mysterious. He didn’t turn Jenny into a bird that day. Instead, he had the police say that Jenny didn’t have to stay in that house no more. She went to live with her grandma, just over on Greekmore Ave., which made me happy ‘cause she was so close. Some nights, Jenny would sneak out* and come on over to my house, just’ cause she said she was scared. Scared of what? I don’t know.But I think it was her grandma’s dog. He was a mean* dog. Anyway, Jenny and me was best friends all the way up through high school.
