Carrie Page #5

Synopsis: It's nearing the end of the school year. High school senior Carrie White is a social outcast, largely due to being unwise to the ways of the world based on her upbringing. Her mother, Margaret White, is a religious fanatic, her extreme views primarily targeted against sex, which she believes is a sin. She even believes natural associated processes such as menstruation are a sin, about which she has refused to mention to Carrie. Mrs. White's beliefs were taken to that extreme largely because of her own failed marriage and her husband Ralph long ago having run off with another woman. The only adult authority figure who tries to help Carrie with her life is her phys ed teacher, Miss Collins, who is nonetheless warned not to get too close to go against how Mrs. White chooses to raise Carrie, Mrs. White whose beliefs are well known in the community. An impromptu event that happens among Carrie's phys ed classmates against her leads to her classmates being punished. One of those students, se

but tonight there's only me.

I never dreamed someone like you

could love someone like me.

All right, ladies and gentlemen!

Ladies and gentlemen...

And you two behave yourselves, okay?

Take your seats, please. We've gotta vote

for the king and the queen.

Tommy,

we are here.

I know.

Do you wanna decline?

Do you?

Hell, no. If you win, all they do is put you

up there for a school song and a dance.

Then they take your picture

for the yearbook,

so everyone can see

we look like a couple of idiots.

Anyway, it's the last year. Why not?

It's so beautiful!

Hey...

You're beautiful.

Well, who should we vote for?

They're more your crowd than mine.

I don't even have a crowd.

Let's vote for ourselves.

No.

Why not?

Please don't vote for ourselves.

Carrie...

Come on. To the devil with false modesty.

The devil!

Billy! Shh!

Will you close that a little bit?

Jesus, you wanna get caught?

- That Carrie White, she sure is cute.

- Shut up.

- Thought you said they were gonna win.

- They will. Won't even be close.

I called in a few favours.

Can I have your ballot, please?

Hello, guys. Thank you.

Can I have your ballots, please?

- Thank you.

- Thanks, there.

Thank you.

Thank you, there.

Ballots, please. Thank you.

Thank you.

Freddy, hurry up, please.

Ballots...

Good, good. Thanks a lot there, Vic.

Get all of them?

They're right in back of you,

so start kicking.

- See you.

- Good luck.

More ballots? Thank you.

I have some more ballots for you.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I've got the winners.

All right!

I give you Tommy Ross and Carrie White!

They're all gonna laugh at you!

They're all gonna laugh at you!

They're all gonna laugh at you!

- Plug it up! Plug it up!

- They're all gonna laugh at you!

- Plug it up! Plug it up!

- They're all gonna laugh at you!

We're all sorry, Cassie.

- They're all gonna laugh at you!

- We're all sorry, Cassie.

Trust me, Carrie. You can trust me.

Trust me, Carrie. You can trust me.

Trust me, Carrie. You can trust me.

Come on, let's go, Billy!

- They're all gonna laugh at you!

- We're sorry, Cassie.

They're all gonna laugh at you!

We're sorry, Cassie.

- Trust me, Carrie. You can trust me.

- They're all gonna laugh at you!

We're sorry, Cassie.

They're all gonna laugh at you!

We're sorry, Cassie.

Trust me, Carrie.

Somebody open this door!

Open this door now!

Help! Help!

Look at him!

Have these students calm down!

Mr Fromm! Mr Fromm!

Carrie!

Carrie...!

Mama?

Mama?

Mama? Mama, it was bad, Mama.

They laughed at me.

Mama, hold me.

Mama, please, hold me.

Hold me, Mama.

Please, hold me!

I should have killed myself

when he put it in me.

After the first time,

before we were married.

Ralph promised never again.

He promised, and I believed him.

But sin never dies.

Sin never dies.

At first it was all right.

We lived sinlessly.

We slept in the same bed,

but we never did it.

And then, that night,

I saw him looking down at me that way.

We got down on our knees

to pray for strength.

I smelled the whisky on his breath.

And he took me... He took me.

With the stink of the filthy

roadhouse whisky on his breath.

And I liked it.

I liked it!

Well, all that dirty touching in his hands

and coming all over me...

I should have given you to God

when you were born.

But I was weak and backsliding.

But now the devil has come home.

Oh!

We'll pray.

Yes.

We'll pray.

We'll pray.

We'll pray.

For the last time,

we'll pray.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done...

Aghh!

Ohh!

Aghh!

Aaghhh...!

Hello?

Oh, Betty, thank God it's you.

I don't think I could have handled

one more reporter.

Yeah, well, we're all a little edgy.

She's better. Well, uh,

sleeping too much, I guess,

but Dr Schnieder said that's to be

expected after all she's been through.

Well, he said that she's young enough,

so that she'll forget about it in time.

No. I wouldn't let her go to the funerals,

with Tommy and all the others gone.

It's best we just go away for a while.

It's all right!

It's all right. I know. It's all right.

It's all right. I'm here.

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…
