Carrie Page #2

I did not.

I did not sin.

Go to your closet.

No, Mama.

Go to your closet and pray.

You pray.

No.

(YELLS) No!

No!

Get off me! Mama! Stop it! (SCREAMS)

- Go to your closet and

pray for forgiveness. - No!

- You pray.

- Mama! Help!

(SCREAMING)

- No, Mommy!

- Come on.

Please! Help!

(GRUNTS)

You pray, little girl.

Pray for forgiveness.

Mommy, let me go!

Let me out!

(BANGING ON DOOR)

(SCREAMING)

Mom!

God, you suck!

(GASPS)

(CREAKING)

(SOFTLY) Help me. Help me.

(CARRIE BREATHING HEAVILY)

(WHIMPERS)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(KISSING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

What?

- I'm sorry.

- What?

Hey. What's wrong?

I really messed up today, Tommy.

What, that thing with Carrie?

You know about that?

Yeah, everyone knows about it,

but you're not responsible

for what Chris does.

Yeah, but it was me, too.

You threw tampons at Carrie White?

I kicked a kid in the ribs once.

Yeah, while he was knocked out.

Because this kid,

he used to beat the living sh*t out of me

every day in sixth grade.

Danny Patrick.

(CHUCKLES)

Did you apologize to Carrie?

(SCOFFS) Did you apologize

to Danny Patrick?

No, but we're not in sixth grade anymore.

(CHUCKLING) Don't.

He was a dick to me.

(CHUCKLING)

What did Carrie White ever do to you?

CHRIS:
Whoo!

And that, ladies and gentlemen,

is why he lost his license.

TINA:
(LAUGHS) Then why

are you still driving?

I don't need a license

if they can't catch me.

Jackie's email, Jackie's email!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Chris, no. No!

Wow. Why don't you two

kiss or something while you're at it?

(BILLY CHUCKLES)

Oh, baby.

(CHUCKLES)

Don't be stupid.

(CHUCKLES)

(MOANING)

Wait.

Do you think we're going to get detention

because of that?

- Because that would suck.

- No.

They should be thanking us

for helping her through her first period.

I got her a tampon. So what?

You were only trying to help her, right?

We should post it.

(LAUGHS)

No, I'm in it.

No one's going to see you, Teenie.

What? (CHUCKLES) What are you doing?

Carrie White.

CHRIS:
Favorite movie?

BILLY:
Bloodsport.

(LAUGHS)

TINA:
Favorite drink?

Bloody Mary.

(TINA CHUCKLES)

MARGARET:
(SINGING ALONG TO RECORD)

Brightly beams

Our Father's mercy

From His lighthouse evermore

But to us He gives the keeping

Of the lights along the shore

Let the lower lights be burning

(CONTINUES SINGING)

(DOOR CREAKING)

Did you finish your prayers, little girl?

Yes, Mama.

That's my good girl.

(KISSES)

I love you.

I love you, too, Mama.

(CHUCKLES)

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

DESJARDIN:
All right, stand up.

Line up, please.

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

DESJARDIN:
You have a big week

coming up. A big month, actually.

Probably the biggest month of your lives.

Prom and then graduation.

Are you excited?

(GIRLS CHUCKLE)

You probably all have your dresses.

You have your dates by now.

What about you, Chris?

Who's the lucky guy?

Billy Nolan. You don't know him.

He doesn't go to this school.

Are you going to get him a boutonniere?

Or are you just going to pin

a bloody tampon to his lapel?

I so don't need to hear this.

You're not going anywhere.

What about you, Sue?

Are you and Tommy busy campaigning

to be Prom King and Queen?

I would have voted for you.

Not now.

You all did a shitty thing yesterday.

A really shitty thing.

And one of you

had the audacity to post a video.

Somebody made a video of it?

This is bullshit.

That's it. Thanks to Miss Hargensen,

you're all running suicides.

I'm not doing it.

That's up to you.

That's up to all of you, but anyone

who stops running is suspended.

And if you're suspended,

you're not going to prom.

While you're running,

I'd like for you to think long and hard

about what it would be like

to be Carrie White.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

I'll be okay, Mama.

I'm going to leave work early today

and pick you up after school.

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

(ALL PANTING)

She can't do this to me.

Just let it go, Chris. We're almost done.

Then every day this week?

All because of Carrie White?

Like hell I will.

DESJARDIN:
Keep moving, Hargensen.

Keep running or you're not going to prom.

F*** you!

This is child abuse.

What did you say to me?

I'm not going to run another goddamn inch

because Carrie White got her period

and was too stupid to know what it was.

- What?

DESJARDIN:
- You're suspended.

You're out of prom

and you're out of my class. Now.

- No.

- No?

You can't decide that.

She can't do this to us.

Goodbye, Chris. The rest

of you, keep at it.

Someone could die of dehydration.

Tina, you have a heart condition, right?

If we all stick together,

they're not going to suspend all of us.

They're not going to keep us all from prom.

There would be no prom.

Nik, Lizzy?

DESJARDIN:
Let's go, ladies!

Heather?

This is bullshit!

We didn't do anything wrong.

DESJARDIN:
All right, let's go.

Right, Sue? You're with me on this, right?

Come on.

DESJARDIN:
Sue.

Come on.

(BLOWING WHISTLE)

Keep going, ladies.

This isn't over.

This isn't over by a long shot.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

GIRL:
(WHISPERS) That's Carrie White.

(GIRLS LAUGHING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GASPS)

(EXHALES)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(CHUCKLES)

(DOOR OPENS)

Um, you know... Sorry.

I was just going to say,

you can make it full-screen. Watch.

ULMANN:
All right, who's next?

Uh, Carrie. Favorite poem.

Did you bring one?

(CHUCKLING)

Yeah.

Why don't you come to

the front of the class

and share it with us all?

(GIRLS CHUCKLING)

"This unfrequented place to find some ease"

"Ease to the body some, none to the mind"

"Times past,

and what once I was and what am now"

"O wherefore was my birth

from Heaven foretold"

"Twice by an Angel, who at last in sight"

"Of both my Parents all in flames... "

"... ascended. "

(SIGHS)

Okay, uh, that was, uh...

...disturbing.

(ALL CHUCKLE)

ULMANN:
That is the most

you've said in class all year.

Is there anything else you'd like to share

or are you done scaring us for the day?

A**hole.

(ALL GASP)

ULMANN:
Excuse me, Mr. Ross.

Did you say something?

I said, "Awesome. "

I just thought

what Carrie read was awesome.

Didn't you, Mr. Ulmann?

All right, who's next? Uh...

ULMANN:
Nicki.

I mean, Lizzy.

(WHIRRING)

ELEANOR:
Is anyone working?

Excuse me.

(BELL DINGS)

Is anybody working?

(BELL DINGS)

Oh, Margaret.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I don't know where Hugo and Gloria...

Can I help you, Mrs. Snell?

(CLEARS THROAT)

Yes, I'm picking up.

(SIGHS)

Margaret, I want to say how sorry I am

about what happened at the school.

There's no excuse for what Sue did,

but she's a good girl.

Are any of those girls good?

(CASH REGISTER BEEPING)

Oh, that is beautiful work, Margaret.

Thank you.

I love what you've done with the neckline.

And the stitches. You can barely see them.

So few people can sew like this anymore.

I could never do anything like this myself.

Sue's going to look beautiful.

I am so excited for her.

I remember my prom. (CHUCKLES)

Anyway, she's going to love it.
