Synopsis: The outcast teenager Carrie White is bullied by her classmates at high school. Her mother, Margaret White, is a pious and paranoid woman that sees sin everywhere and the need of self-inflicting punishment. When Carrie has her first period, she does not understand what is happening to her and her classmates humiliate her in the changing room. The spiteful Chris Hargensen videotapes Carrie with her cell phone and posts it on the Internet. Their teacher Ms. Desjardin punishes the students, but when Chris challenges her, she is suspended and consequently is banned from the prom. Meanwhile, Carrie discovers that she has telekinesis and learns how to control her ability. Sue Snell, one of the girls that tormented Carrie, feels bad and asks her boyfriend Tommy Ross to invite Carrie to go with him to the prom to make up for what she did to Carrie.

Then one night,

I saw him look at me in that way.

And we got down on our knees

to pray for strength.

And that's when he took me.

No, Mama. I don't want to hear it.

- And I liked it.

- Mama, no.

I should have given you to God

when you were born, but...

I was weak.

And I loved you so much.

And I said, "God,

let me keep my little girl. "

"Let me keep her. "

Let's pray.

Yes, Mama.

Yes, we'll pray.

I'll be the preacher.

You'll be my congregation.

"Our Father, Who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name. "

"Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done

on earth

as it is in heaven. "

Mama!

(SHRIEKS)

(GROANS)

Mama, please.

No, Mama. Mama, please.

This isn't your fault, Carrie. It's mine.

- Mommy, this isn't right.

- You know the devil never dies.

He keeps coming back.

You've got to keep killin' him.

- No, Mama.

- Over and over again.

Mama, please. Mama!

No!

No, Mama. (SCREAMS)

(GRUNTING)

Mama, stop it!

(SCREAMS)

(YELLING)

(PANTING)

- Carrie.

- I'm sorry.

Carrie!

(BOTH SCREAM)

(GRUNTING)

(GROANING)

(GASPING)

(BOTH GRUNT)

Okay.

It's okay.

(SHUSHING)

It's okay. No one's going to hurt you.

No one's going to hurt you.

(SOBBING)

(DOOR CREAKING)

SUE:
Carrie?

Let me help you, Carrie.

Why couldn't you leave me alone?

I'm sorry.

(CHOKING)

Look what you turned me into.

Don't hurt me, Carrie.

Why not?

I've been hurt my whole life.

(CHOKING)

I killed my mom.

I want her back.

I'm scared.

(RUMBLING)

We've got to get out of here!

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

Come on!

- It's a girl.

- What?

You don't know?

Oh, my God.

Get out!

Get out!

It's okay.

MURPHY:
Miss Snell,

we're trying to determine the exact role

Carrie White played in the tragedy

on prom night.

You would agree that you were under

an enormous amount of stress.

Isn't it possible

that what you saw was a natural act?

My boyfriend,

most of my friends, died that night,

but I know what I saw.

You want an explanation?

Carrie had some sort of power,

but she was just like me,

like any of you.

She had hopes and she had fears.

And we pushed her.

And you can only push someone so far

before they break.

(SINGING) I can hardly make you mine

Tell it to you all the time

At the end of a long day

and when I wake

If you could just give me a sign

We could leave it all behind

Stop taking the long way before we play

I don't think I can make it

and I know you're the one

Staring into the tears like a loaded gun

Well, I can hardly make you mine

Tell it to you all the time

But you never wanted, but you had to take

So I can never give you up

I guess it's 'cause it's just a crush

Before the end of a long

day and then I wake

But I know you're not the one or the only

But we both know what

it's like to be lonely

Well, these fantasies, they left us lonely

Boy, just bring all your love back to me

I guess for now this is how it'll be

I don't think I can make it

Oh, you're the one

Staring into the tears like a loaded gun

I don't think I can make it

Oh, you're the one

Staring into the tears like a loaded gun

Lawrence D. Cohen

Lawrence D. Cohen is an American screenwriter and producer, best known for his work on Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976), an adaptation of Stephen King's novel. Following this he scripted a simplified film adaptation of Peter Straub's novel Ghost Story in 1981. His output has been infrequent, but he has helped in adapting two other King novels to television, It in 1990 and The Tommyknockers in 1993. In 2006 he wrote a segment for the TV series Nightmares and Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King. In 1981, Cohen began to work on a musical adaptation of Carrie (novel), which premiered in 1988 on Broadway to negative reviews and closed after only 16 previews and 5 performances. In 2012, the musical was revived Off Broadway for a limited engagement at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (with Cohen revising the book). The second production was better received than the original. more…
