Re-Writing Forrest Gump

Some of you may have read this on SaucyMonk Lite, but I thought if I spread this piece of screenwriting gold around enough, I'm bound to get a call from Jerry Bruckheimer...

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.
