How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Forrest Gump.
Quote #7
FORREST: Will you marry me? I'd make a good husband, Jenny.
JENNY: You would, Forrest.
Once again, Jenny crushes Forrest's dream—but we can't really blame her at this point. She's still got dreams of her own, and unfortunately, they don't involve settling down in her hometown with her borderline IQ childhood friend. It's okay, Forrest, just give it some time. After the universe crushes Jenny's dreams a few more times, she'll be ready to come running back to you.
Quote #8
FORREST: Somebody later told me it gave people hope.
Forrest may not be much for wishing and dreaming, but he has a way of inspiring people—like when he starts running across America and becomes a blank slate for everyone to project their own dreams onto.
Quote #9
OLD LADY: It was nice talking to you. I hope everything works out for you!
Forrest may not have many hopes or dreams for himself, but he has a way of getting people on his side. Just like the old lady who sends Forrest off to find Jenny, we can't help but cross our fingers that this is going to be the moment when Forrest's one dream finally comes true.
