FORREST
You’re a momma, Jenny.
JENNY
I’m a momma. His name is Forrest.
FORREST
Like me.
JENNY
I named him after his Daddy.
FORREST
He got a daddy named Forrest, too?
JENNY
You’re his daddy, Forrest.
Forrest continues to stare at Forrest Jr. Forrest then looks
frightened and starts to back away.
JENNY
Hey, Forrest, look at me. Look at
me, Forrest. There’s nothing you
need to do, okay? You didn’t do
anything wrong. Okay?
Jenny turns and looks at Forrest Jr. in the other room.
JENNY
Isn’t he beautiful?
FORREST
He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve
ever seen. But… is, is he smart,
or is he…
JENNY
He’s very smart. He’s one of the
smartest in his class.
Forrest breathes deep. He looks at Jenny, then at Forrest
Jr.
