ERT Movie Study- Forest Gump Talking to Jenny’s Grave (put the words into the

 correct order)

FORREST- Hey.

 JENNY- Hey.

JENNY- Hey, Forrest, were you scared in Vietnam?

FORREST- Yes. Well, I, I don't know.

FORREST (V.O.)- Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out. And then it was nice. It was like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bayou...

FORREST (V.O.)- There was over a million sparkles on the water. Like that mountain lake.

FORREST (V.O.)- It was so clear, Jenny. It looks like there were two skies, one on top of the other. And then in the desert, when the sun comes up...

FORREST (V.O.)- couldn't/ stopped/ earth/ heaven/ where/ began/ I/ the/ and/ tell

                                                                                                                                                                   . It was so beautiful.

JENNY- I wish I could have been there with you.

FORREST- You were.

JENNY- I love you.

FORREST (V.O.)- You died on a Saturday morning.

FORREST- And I had you placed here under our tree.

FORREST- house/ I /that/ bulldozed/ had/ And/ father's/ ground./ your/ the/ of/ to

 

FORREST (V.O.) Momma... always said dyin' was a part of life.

FORREST- I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest, he's doing just fine.

FORREST JR.- (reading) "But he wasn't quite sure. Everywhere they went, the new guests...

FORREST (V.O.)- About to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner...

FORREST-...every day.     combs/ his/ brushes/ day./ make/ I/ teeth/ his / hair/ sure/ every/ he/ and

                                                                                                                                                                                       Teaching him how to play ping pong.

FORREST-Okay...

FORREST (V.O.)- He's really good.

FORREST- Forrest, you go.

FORREST (V.O.)- We fish a lot.

FORREST- And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He, uh, wrote a letter, and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to, so I'll just leave it here for you.

FORREST- Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, 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, I think maybe it's both.
