A Forrest Gump Re-write

And now...a famous scene from Forrest Gump:

Forrest Gump

Will you marry me? [Jenny turns and looks at him] I'd make a good husband, Jenny.

Jenny Curran

You would, Forrest.

Forrest Gump

But you won't marry me.

Jenny Curran

You don't wanna marry me.

Forrest Gump

Why don't you love me, Jenny? I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

And now the scene they edited out:

Forrest Gump

Will you marry me? [Jenny turns and looks at him] I'd make a good husband, Jenny.

Jenny Curran

You would, Forrest.

Forrest Gump

But you won't marry me.

Jenny Curran

You don't wanna marry me.

Forrest Gump

Why don't you love me, Jenny? I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

Jenny Curran

Ya, well do you know what crabs are? How about gonorrhea? The Clap mean anything to you, Forrest? Is that what you want? Or maybe it's the herpes you're after, is that it Mister 'I Know What Love Is'?

Forrest Gump

Oh, I see. [pause] Momma always said you were like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
