Carrie Page #6

too seriously.

It'll be over

before you know it.

Hey, Miss D.

Hey, Tommy.

Don't you look nice?

Thanks.

- Can I talk to you?

- Sure.

Having fun?

- Yeah.

- Good.

I just thought

you should know...

if you show Carrie anything less

than the time of her life...

I'll see to it personally

you're expelled.

Do you understand

the words...

that just came out

of my mouth?

Yes.

Then go dance with her.

Stick to the slow songs.

She'll look stupid

dancing to anything fast.

Everything OK?

Yeah.

Do you want to dance?

No.

Do you?

Not really.

But it is our senior prom.

I can't dance.

It's a slow song.

All we have to do...

is stand close to each other

and shift our weight...

from foot to foot

like everybody else.

It requires no skill.

Here.

Put your hand here.

And then...

See? Nothing to it.

Tommy?

Yeah?

Thank you.

For what?

For everything.

For taking me to the prom...

for being so nice to me.

I know that you don't

like me like that...

but...

I'm glad I got to be

your date tonight.

Me, too.

I'm gonna let you pull the rope.

Your attention, please.

Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have your attention?

Shut up!

Please take your seats.

It's time to vote

for king and queen.

Tommy, we're on here.

Yeah. I saw that.

- Can we decline?

- Hell, no.

If you win,

all you do is sit up there...

for the school song,

wave some scepter around...

and look like a jackass.

Then you get your picture

taken for the yearbook...

so everyone can see

you look like a jackass.

And then

you get to lead a dance.

Who do we vote for?

Ourselves, duh.

Isn't that like voting

for Ralph Nader?

Who?

Well, I'm voting for you.

False modesty sucks.

Ballots, please.

Good luck!

We found these in the dumpster

behind what's left of the gym.

I can't believe

you touched those.

They're probably

swimming with disease.

You recognize them?

They're prom ballots.

I'm Xeroxed them.

According to these, Frank

and Jessica were elected...

king and queen of the prom.

I counted those ballots myself.

Mr. Morton checked my work.

Tommy and Carrie

won fair and square.

- I'm guessing by a landslide.

- Yeah.

That doesn't seem odd to you?

I figured they were pity votes.

They're not pity votes, Norma.

Somebody switched the ballots.

It's time to announce

our elected royalty.

We have a chance.

Tommy Ross and Carrie White!

Come on up, you guys.

You look so beautiful.

Congratulations.

Oh, my God. It's working.

Come on, take a seat.

Just sit there.

Sit. Great. OK.

Ladies and gentlemen...

your king and queen

of senior prom!

They're playing the school song.

Pull it now.

- Pull it now.

- Shut up.

Do it.

I knew it.

I knew you were

going to chicken out.

I'm not pulling it for you.

This is your thing.

That bucket can sit up there

till graduation for all I care.

Your Highnesses...

the court requests

that you lead them in dance.

Ladies and gentlemen...

your king and queen

of senior prom!

Pig, pig, pig, soo-ey!

Pig, pig, pig!

Pig, pig, pig!

Carrie?

Carrie, look at me.

He's not breathing!

I can barely feel his pulse.

We gotta get him to a doctor.

It'll be all right.

Just stay here!

Don't go away!

I'll be right back!

Everybody, try to stay calm!

Go to the exits

in an orderly fashion!

Don't panic! Don't go in...

Help!

Get out of the way!

Come on, Tommy!

Get him up!

Just get him up!

Get out of here!

Help me! Somebody!

Listen to me, kids!

Get away from the doors!

Move into

the center of the gym!

They will get the doors open!

Just don't panic!

Listen to me!

Norma! Norma!

Norma! Look at me!

You come with me, OK?

Everybody come with me!

- Come on!

- Oh, my God!

Come on!

Get me out! Get me out!

I don't want to die!

Help me! Help me!

Get me the chair!

Come on! Help me!

Pull it! Pull it!

Come on! Come on!

Help me!

Norma, get in! Go!

Everybody get off the floor!

Hurry! Hurry!

Get off the floor!

When did you first realize

that something was wrong?

When I heard the sirens.

Fuel tanks down at the school

just went up.

Gymnasium is gone.

What happened at the school?

Go home.

There's nothing you can do here.

Come on! Go!

People, move back!

Go! Go!

Hey, dude! Open up!

What's your problem, man?

Chamberlain's burning up, man!

Whole damn town.

School's gutted.

What?

They said people

at the prom were trapped.

Only eleven got out.

Everybody else was cooked.

Dude...

the ones that got out

told the police...

something about a prank.

Go home.

Don't talk to anybody.

What are we going to do?

We're going into town

and watch the fires.

Who is that?

What are you doing?

Billy, stop! Stop!

Mama?

What happened? I don't...

The Lord says...

"Thou shalt not suffer

a witch to live."

I'm not a witch, Mama.

Please tell me what happened!

You were weak, Carrie.

I told you

your sin would find you.

I...

I can't remem...

remember.

Help me.

Let's pray.

Say it with me.

Now I lay me down to sleep...

Now I lay me down to sleep...

I pray the Lord...

I pray the Lord...

my soul to keep.

If I should die...

before I wake...

I pray the Lord...

my soul to take.

The Lord...

The Lord is not mocked.

When was the last time

you saw Carrie White alive?

At school, before the prom.

You told Sheriff Doyle

you saw her after the prom.

Right before

the Critter King blew.

It was dark.

I saw a girl in a dress.

You said you saw Carrie White.

I was wrong.

What's it matter anyway?

Carrie's dead.

It matters because

we still haven't figured out...

what happened on prom night.

And it also matters

because we still haven't...

identified Carrie White's body.

Oh, God.

OK. Head back. Open...

Come on.

OK.

OK. You have to go.

OK. Here. OK?

What happened?

What happened?

What did I do?

You have to go, OK?

Come on.

You ever see something

you can't explain?

I'm not talking about

a strange light in the sky...

or Jesus' face on a tortilla.

I'm talking about something

that's not supposed to happen.

Like, in reality.

You mean, like a miracle?

Something else.

Did you ever think the reason

that you can't explain...

what happened on prom night

is because...

what happened wasn't natural?

Two weeks ago,

I saw a steel desk...

move across the floor

without anyone touching it.

Five inches. I measured.

Carrie White was in the room

when it happened.

234 people died,

and you're trying to sell me...

on some

"Weekly World News" headline?

I don't need you to tell me

how many people died.

Half of them were kids

I saw every day.

I am truly sorry for your loss,

Miss Desjarden.

But that doesn't

change the fact...

that someone's

still unaccounted for.

This girl is one of

eight missing persons...

but the problem is,

we only got seven bodies.

Now, you're

implying what exactly?

I'm not implying anything.

I'm just giving you the facts.

What did you see on prom night?

I was hanging from an air vent,

pissing my pants...

trying not to get electrocuted.

I didn't see anything.
