Final state interactions in the S-wave {pi}{pi} system (I=0,2) are reexamined on the basis of the Omn{grave e}s-Muskhelishvili equation and the coupled channel formalism. The contributions to the pion scalar form factor from {rho} and f{sub 2}(1270) exchange in the t channel and from the f{sub 0}(980) s-channel resonance are separately evaluated and the role of the nontrivial polynomial in the Omn{grave e}s function in a coupled channel situation is elucidated. Applications are made to K{r_arrow}{pi}{pi} and pp{r_arrow}pp{pi}{pi}. It is found that the contribution from the f{sub 0} resonance to the form factor is strongly reduced by a nearby zero. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
