Question to think about: Think of those sweetiest memories of yours. How are they different from Forrest’s?

Forrest (voice-over) 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 Momma had gone up to heaven when she was five and her daddy was some kind of a farmer.
Forrest Jenny? Jenny?

Forrest (voice-over) He was a very lovin' man. He was always kissing and touchin' her and her sisters. And then this one time, Jenny wasn't on the bus to go to school.
Forrest Jenny, why didn't you come to school today?
Jenny Shh! Daddy's takin' a nap.

Jenny's Dad Jenny!
Jenny Come on!
Jenny's Dad Jenny, where'd you run to? You'd better go back here, girl!

Jenny's Dad Where you at?
Jenny's Dad Jenny! Jenny! Where you at? Jenny!

Jenny Pray with me, Forrest. Pray with me.
Jenny's Dad Jenny!
Jenny 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, far, far away from here.
Forrest (voice-over) Momma always said that God is mysterious.
Jenny's Dad Jenny! Get back here!
Forrest (voice-over) He didn't turn Jenny into a bird that day. Instead...

Forrest (voice-over) ... he had the police say Jenny didn't have to stay in that house no more. She went to live with her grandma just over on Creekmore Avenue, which made me happy 'cause she was so close.

Forrest (voice-over) Some nights, Jenny'd sneak out and come over to my house, just 'cause she said she was scared. Scared of what, I don't know...

Forrest (voice-over) ... but I think it was her grandma's dog. He was a mean dog. Anyway, Jenny and me was best friends...

Forrest (voice-over) ...all the way to high school.
