The best scene of Forrest Gump

Maybe it's both

Hey, Forrest...

were you scared in Vietnam?

Yes.

Well, l...

I don't know.

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.

There was always
a million sparkles on the water...

like that mountain lake.

It was so clear, Jenny,

it looked like
there were two skies

one on top of the other.

And then in the desert,
when the sun comes up...

I couldn't tell

where heaven stopped
and the earth began.

It's so beautiful.

I wish I could've
been there with you.

You were.

I love you.

You died on a Saturday morning.

And I had you placed
here under our tree.

And I had that house
of your father's

bulldozed to the ground.

Mama...

always said

that dyin' was a part of life.

I sure wish it wasn't.

Little Forrest is...

doing just fine.

"But..."

About to start school again soon,

and...

and I make his breakfast,
lunch, and dinner

every day.

I make sure he...

combs his hair

and brushes his teeth every day.

Teaching him how
to play Ping-Pong.

He's really good.

Uh, Forrest, you go.

Uhh!

We fish a lot.

And every night,
we read a book.

He's so smart, Jenny.

You'd be so proud of him.

I am.

He, uh, wrote you
a... a letter.

And he says I can't read it.
I'm not supposed to,

so I'll just leave it
here for you.

Jenny...

I don't know
if Mama was right

or if it... 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 l... I think...

maybe it's both.

Maybe both get happening
at the same time.

But I miss you, Jenny.

If there's anything
you need...

I won't be far away.
