JENNY
Hey, Forrest, were you scared inVietnam?
FORREST
Yes. Well, I, I don't know.
EXT. VIETNAM - FLASHBACK - NIGHT
Forrest looks up into the sky as the rain stops. Forrest
removes his helmet. The stars emerge from behind the clouds.
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...
EXT. BAYOU - FLASHBACK - SUNSET
Forrest stands on his boat and looks at a deep orange and red sunset.
FORREST (V.O.)
There was over a million sparkles on
the water. Like that mountain lake.
EXT. MOUNTAIN LAKE - FLASHBACK - DAY
Forrest runs along a highway. A lake reflects the mountains and the sky.
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...
EXT. DESERT - FLASHBACK - SUNRISE
Forrest runs along a desert highway. The morning light casts an orange glow over the desert.
FORREST (V.O.)
I couldn't tell where heavens stopped and the earth began. It was so beautiful.
INT. GUMP HOUSE - MORNING
Forrest looks at Jenny. Jenny looks out the window.
JENNY
I wish I could have been there with you.
FORREST
You were.
Jenny reaches over and takes Forrest's hand.
JENNY
I love you.
FORREST (V.O.)
You died on a Saturday morning.
EXT. JENNY'S GRAVE AT OLD OAK TREE - DAY
Forrest stands under the old oak tree where Jenny has been buried.
FORREST
And I had you placed here under our tree.
Jenny's grave marker. Forrest tries to hold back his tears.
FORREST
And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground.
EXT. JENNY'S OLD HOUSE - DAY
Forrest watches as Jenny's dad's house is knocked down by a
bulldozer.
FORREST (V.O.)
Momma...
EXT. JENNY'S GRAVE
FORREST
...always said dyin' was a part of life.
