Forrest (voice-over) And then, she was there.

because she was so tired, because she went to bed and slept and slept like she hadn't slept in years. It was wonderful having her home.

Forrest (voice-over) Every day we'd take a walk, and I'd jabber on like a monkey in a tree. And she'd listen about ping-pong and shrimpin' boat and Momma makin' a trip to heaven. I did all the talkin'. Jenny most of the time was real quiet.
Forrest ... big ol' gobs of rain and little bitty stinging rain and rain...

Forrest New shoes.
Jenny They make them just for running.

Forrest (voice-over) And she even showed me how to dance. And, well, we were like
family... Jenny and me.
