Forrest Gump Dreams, Hopes, and Plans Quotes

When Forrest sees Jenny playing guitar in a club, he's stoked to think that everything has worked out. Unfortunately, it's a lot less of a dream and a lot more nightmare since the only reason anyone is in the club is to see what Jenny is hiding underneath her guitar. (Answer: nothing.) To our way of thinking, this is just one more example of Jenny getting smacked down for dreaming too big.

Poor Jenny. She's constantly in pursuit of some new dream, and she's constantly getting her hopes and ambitions crushed. It takes a deadly disease to make Forrest's offer of a safe and comfortable life seem like anything but a nightmare.

All Forrest has ever really wanted from life was to be Jenny's boyfriend and/or husband. Seems simple enough, right? But, it takes a lot of hard living from both of them for Jenny and Forrest to finally meet each other on the same level.
