Grow up. Stand up and take care of yourself.

Come on, do it. Do it.

- Do it! - Aah!

[ suspenseful music ] [ glass breaking ]

Did you see that?

No...!

[ girls laughing ]

Get out of here. Go on. Right now. Move!

Carrie...

Carrie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know, okay? I'm sorry.

Baby, come on, now. Don't you know?

Listen. Listen.

I'm gonna talk to you about it, now, okay? Now just calm down. Just relax.

See? They're all gone. They're all gone.

Now, listen. It's gonna be okay.

[ voices murmuring ]

[ soft music playing ]

- Isn't she a bit old for her, uh... - Her first period.

Um... yes.

Morty, until a half-hour ago, I don't even think she knew there was such a thing.

It's really... hard to believe in this day and age

a girl in high school wouldn't know something.

Uh, facts...

Well, she didn't.

But I don't know why that should surprise us, knowing that mother of hers.

- We can't interfere with people's beliefs. - I know, I know.

- As for the girls... - Carrie's always been their scapegoat.

- You've got to do something. - I will.

But see, the thing is, Morty, that, um...

I knew how they felt.

See, the whole thing just made me wanna take her and shake her, too.

- You know what I mean? - Mm-hmm.

- It was just her period, for God's sake! - Well, we'll send her home.

Miss Finch, will you send in Cassie Wright?

It's Carrie White.

Come in, Cassie.

Carrie.

Miss Finch, would you bring in a dismissal slip?

I thought you might take the rest of the day

and go home, take care of yourself, Cassie.

[ dramatic music ]

We're all very sorry about this incident.

[ dramatic music continues ]

It's Carrie.

Thank you.

Would you like to go to the infirmary?

- Lie down for a while? - I think Carrie can go home.

Would you like a ride? We could call you a cab.

I'm sure she can walk home.

And, Carrie, you're dismissed from gym for a week. Just take study hall instead, okay?

We're all sorry about this incident, Cassie.

It's Carrie!

[ suspenseful music ] [ ashtray breaks ]

[ door closes ]

[ bell ringing ]

Creepy Carrie! Creepy Carrie! Ha-ha!

[ suspenseful music ]

Ohh!

Ohh! Ohh...

Were you in Chicago two years ago?

Chicago?

Yes, Bill. Chicago. [ doorbell rings ]

Why, yes, I was living in Chicago.

You knew that, didn't you? I told you that, didn't I?

No, you didn't. I found out.

You're looking at me so, uh, strangely...

Oh, Mrs. White.

- How have you been, Mrs. Snell? - Fine.

- And the doctor? - Fine.

- And your daughter? - Sue is fine.

- Won't you come in, Mrs. White? - Oh, how kind of you.

- I think Carrie is in some of Sue's classes. - Yes.

- Perhaps sometime she might like to visit. - I'm here on the Lord's work, Mrs. Snell.

Spreadin' the gospel of God's salvation through Christ's blood.

Yes, of course.

I have something here I know is gonna interest the doctor and you.

The teenager's path to salvation through the cross of Jesus.

I don't think Sue would be very interested.

The children are wandering through the wilderness of sin these days, Mrs. Snell.

My Sue is a good girl.

These are godless times, Mrs. Snell.

I'll drink to that!

We'll... all read these.

[ telephone ringing ]

Excuse me. Please sit down, Mrs. White.

[ telephone ringing ]

Hello?

Betty, can I call you back? Margaret White is here.

Are you accusing me...

White.

Just let me get rid of her and I'll call you back.

And now... I'm going to kill you!

I have something here, Mrs. Snell, that I think you might profit from.

- Look, Mrs. White, I'd like to contribute $5... - Exodus.

$10.

I see.

I pray you find Jesus.

[ door closes ]

- Wasn't that Carrie White's mother? - Hey, I didn't hear you come in.

What did she want?

[ soft music playing ]

[ telephone ringing ]

[ telephone ringing ]

[ telephone ringing ]

Yes?

Yes?

[ dramatic music playing ]

Thank you.

I know you're listening.

Come on downstairs.

[ dramatic music continues ]

Mama?

Who was that? Who called?

[ dramatic music continues ]

You're a woman now.

Why didn't you tell me, Mama?

Aah!

And God made Eve from the rib of Adam

and Eve was weak and loosed the raven on the world.

And the raven was called sin. Say it.

- The raven was called sin. - Why didn't you tell me, Mama?

- Say it. - No.

The raven was called sin.

No, Mama... And the raven was called sin!

And the first sin was intercourse.

First sin was intercourse.

I didn't sin, Mama.

- Say it! - I didn't sin, Mama!

The first sin was intercourse.

First sin was intercourse.

First sin was intercourse.

And the first sin was intercourse!

Mama, I was so scared, I thought I was dyin'.

And the girls, they all laughed at me, Mama.

- And Eve was weak. Say it. - No, Mama!

- Eve was weak. - No!

- Eve was weak. - No!

- Eve was weak. Say it, woman. - No, Mama!

Say it!

Eve was weak!

Eve was weak!

And the Lord visited Eve with a curse.

And the curse was the curse of blood!

You should have told me, Mama! You should have told me!

O Lord!

Help the sinning woman see the sin of her days and ways.

Show her that if she had remained sinless the curse of blood would never have come on her.

She may have been tempted by the Antichrist.

She may have completed the sin of lustful thoughts...

No, Mama!

Don't lie to me, Carrietta! Don't you know by now I can see inside you?

I can see the sin as surely as God can!

- Let me go, Mama. You're hurting me. - We'll pray!

- We'll pray, woman! - No!

Pray to Jesus for all the lustful, sinning souls.

No! [ screaming ]

God visited Eve with the curse. And the curse was the curse of blood.

No, Mama! [ screaming ]

And he visited Eve with the second curse. And this was the curse of childbearing.

And Eve brought forth Cain in sweat and blood.

Genesis 3:16!

Mama! Let me out!

Mama, please! Let me out!

Mama, please!

Let me out, Mama! God...!

[ dramatic music ]

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom...

[ sewing machine whirring ]

[ door closes ]

Thank you, Mama.

You can go to bed now.

[ dramatic music ]

[ crying ]

[ suspenseful music ]

There is power, power, wonder-working power in the blood

of the lamb...

[ suspenseful music ]

[ glass breaking ]

Carrie?

Carrie?

Carrie?

[ doorknob rattling ]

Carrie?

Carrie?

Open the door.

It's open, Mama.

[ door opens ]

What was that noise?

What noise?

Go to bed.

Yes, ma'am. Saying my prayers...

[ dramatic music ] [ footsteps retreating ]

"What are you going to leave for us, you people in your big cars,

spewing pollution into the air?"

"You people with heavy feet,

trampling down the wilderness."

"You people who peer into the back seats of our cars,

hours after you come out of the back doors of your motels."

"Soon all we will have is each other."

"And that could be enough."

"If you will let us have room enough

and air enough

and peace enough

to love each other

as you never could."

Hm.

I... I really must say... I must confess

this poem displays the most extraordinary talent.

Talent extraordinary for you, Tommy Ross.

You know, Tommy,

this is slightly different from running touchdowns and hitting home runs.

[ laughing ]

Well, class,

any criticisms?

Anyone?

It's beautiful.

[ laughing ]

Carrie White!

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Beautiful!

[ laughing ]

"Oh, beautiful for spacious skies,

for amber waves of grain"!

Is that the beautiful you mean? Is it, Carrie, hmm?

Well, I'm afraid, Carrie, this is hardly a criticism.

You suck.

Tommy? Did you say something, Tommy?

- Who, me? - Yes, you.

I said "Aw, shucks."

Katie...

You, too, Chris.

[ bubble pops ]

And spit out that gum.

- Where'll I put it, Miss Collins? - You can choke on it for all I care.

Just get it out of your mouth.

[ paper ripping ]

Wipe that smirk off your face, Norma.

Okay. Now I want you all to know that you did a really shitty thing yesterday,

a really shitty thing.

[ laughing ]

Did any of you ever stop to think that Carrie White has feelings?

Do any of you ever stop to think?

[ scoffs ]

No, I guess you're too busy thinking about your dates

and the prom.

I guess you can take your pick, Chris. Who's the lucky guy?

Billy Nolan.

- Who? - Billy Nolan.

- I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Could you speak up? - Billy Nolan.

Well, isn't he the lucky one!

What about you, Sue?

Who's taking you?

Tommy Ross.

Right.

Now, my idea for this little trick you pulled was three days' suspension

and refusal of your prom tickets.

Oh!

What...?

God!

That'd get you where you live, wouldn't it?

And you'd deserve it.

I don't think any of you have any idea of just how nasty what you did really was.

But the office has decided you're to have one week's detention.

[ sighs ]

Still, there's one little catch.

It's to be my detention.

That's 50 minutes

every day

starting today

on the athletic field.

Get the picture?

I'm not coming.

That's up to you, Chris.

That's up to all of you.

Punishment for skipping detention

is three days' suspension

and refusal of your prom tickets.

Any other thoughts?

Good. Now change up.

Where are you going?

- Where you going? - Come on. Are you gonna come?

- I'm not coming. - You're really not gonna come?

You're gonna miss out on the prom for this?

- I'm not coming. - Well, I'm not gonna miss the prom for this.

- It is for me. - Keep running!

There are 10 minutes left.

Stick 'em up your...

You can't hit us! You'll get canned for this,

you bitch!

One more word out of you and I'm gonna knock you down!

Do you understand me?

She can't get away with this if we all stick together, Norma!

Helen?

Sue?!

Shut up, Chris.

Just shut up.

This isn't over.

This isn't over by a long shot!

You're out of the prom, Hargenson.

would you do it?

Yeah.

I want you to take Carrie White to the prom.

It's about, uh

sewing.

Sewing? That's good.

Um...

If you don't have a date for the prom next Friday,

would you like to go with me?

To the prom? It's next Friday. I know this is late notice, but, uh... Carrie?

Carrie, let...

[ basketball bouncing ]

You guys go on. Practice those drills from yesterday. I'll be right there.

Carrie?

Carrie.

[ soft music playing ]

Carrie, what's the matter?

- What happened? - Nothin'.

Was it one of the girls?

Did one of the girls do something to you?

No.

Well, what is it, then?

You can trust me. You know that?

Would you tell me?

I got invited to the prom.

[ laughs ]

That's great! That's fantastic!

So what are you down here moping around for?

Tommy Ross asked me.

That's even better.

- He's really cute, huh? - I know who he goes around with.

They're just trying to trick me again, I know.

Maybe not.

I mean... maybe he really meant it.

Hey, Carrie, let's think about this, now.

It might be terrific. You might have a really good time.

Carrie?

Hey, Carrie, I wanna talk to you. It's about this attitude you have about yourself.

I mean, you're always walking around with your hair down, all moping around.

Carrie?

Come here, you big silly.

I want you to look at yourself.

Would you look at that?

Come on.

Now that's a pretty girl.

Look at your eyes!

Little mascara to bring it out? Little?

Your lips. Try some lipstick. You have nice, pretty lips.

And your cheekbones.

Look at your hair. It's beautiful hair. You could just put it up a little, maybe add a little curl.

What do you think?

Yeah!

Well?

Well, what do you wanna know?

Why'd Tommy ask her to the prom?

Well?

I asked him to.

Why?

What for?

What could you possibly have had in mind?

I thought it would be a good thing for Carrie,

to get her to join in with a few things and be with people...

- Make her a part of things? - Right.

Come on, Sue.

We're not that stupid.

- Neither is Carrie. - Maybe not... I don't know.

You mean you're not gonna go?

You're just gonna stay home and miss your own senior prom?

[ knocking ]

Come in.

- What is it? - Just the attendance sheets, Miss Collins.

Thank you. You know you can't go without a date.

Is there anything else, Norma?

- No, Miss Collins. - Thank you, Norma.

Which brings us to you.

- Miss Collins, I have to get to practice. - Well, that's too bad, isn't it?

- If you don't mind, it's between Sue and I. - But I do mind... unless, of course,

you'd like to continue this little discussion in Mr. Morton's office.

[ sighs ]

What is the big deal?!

Because it is a very big deal for Carrie White, and you know it.

Well, she already said no, anyway.

- Yeah, well, with a little effort you can change that. - Don't count your chickens.

- Just don't try... - Fine. I won't try.

Wait a second! It's not fine!

You can't order someone not to take someone to the prom!

You know, I can make sure you don't hurt Carrie White anymore.

We're not trying to hurt her, Miss Collins. We're trying to help her!

How?!

[ scoffs ]

Hey, Tommy, um... Don't you think you're just gonna look a little ridiculous

when you walk in the prom with Carrie White?

We don't care how we look.

Do we?

So this is where you live, huh?

- What are you doing here? - You gonna ask me in?

Why not?

Mama's resting.

- What do you want? - God, right to the point. Um...

- About the prom, again... - I already told you.

Well, I know, but there's nothing to say you can't change your mind.

- Girls do it all the time. - Why are you doing this?

- Cause I want to. - No, you're not.

Carrie, now, come on. I don't do anything I don't want.

- I can't. - Yes, you can!

Carrie!

- You'd better go. - Not till you say yes.

- No. I can't. - Yes, you can.

I said I can't.

Carrie!

Yes, you can.

- Will you please go? - Not till you say yes.

Why is this so important to you?

I don't know.

Maybe because, um... you liked my poem.

Carrie!

- Okay, okay, I'll go. - Good. I'll pick you up at 8 o'clock.

Okay.

What's the matter, Willie?

We gonna wake up the little piggies? Oink, oink!

You know, this is a hell of a risk for a joke, uh, Bill.

- You want out? - No, no. It's a good joke. It's a good joke.

[ laughing ] Look at this!

- What? - All these pigs!

What are you talking about?

These painted pigs!

Stupid old man Hanky's nitwit cousin painted them.

Shh!

I went out with the girl that posed for 'em. She was a real pig!

- Will you shut up?! - Will you let me up there?

You're gonna kill that pig, right?

[ laughing ]

Piggy! Ha-ha!

Here, piggy!

I'm gonna bash your little heads in,

and you don't have to worry about the bomb no more.

Come here, little piggies! Come here, you little sucker!

Here's one right here.

- Will you shut up and do it, already? - We gotta give it a chance to burn!

- Oh, yeah? - Come here, you little sucker. Come here, piggy!

You can't do it standin' out here. Get 'er done, man, get 'er done.

- I can't. I can't. You. - Oh, I knew this would happen!

- Just... hold it there, you pig. You fuck-up! - Do it, Billy!

- And you shut up! - Just do it!

All right, move it out, move it out! That's it! That's it! Come on! Move it out!

Yeah, that's my baby! Yeah! Yeah!

Do it!

Carrie, you haven't touched your apple cake.

Gives me pimples, Mama.

Pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you.

- Mama? - Yeah?

Mama, please see that I've gotta start to try and get along with people better.

What are you going on about, Carrie?

I've been invited to the prom.

The prom?

[ thunder crashes ]

Yeah, the senior prom, you know. Everybody's goin'.

It's that teacher that called... wasn't it?

Please see that I'm not like you, Mama.

I'm funny. I mean, all the kids think I'm funny.

I don't wanna be. I wanna be normal.

I wanna start to try and be a whole person before it's too late for me to...

His name is Tommy Ross.

- He's a very nice boy, Mama. - No.

- He promised to stop in and meet you. - I said no.

- Mama, I've accepted. I've accepted. - I said no. No, no, no!

I've accepted!

- Come to your closet. - No.

- After all you've been taught... - Everyone isn't bad, Mama!

Everything isn't a sin!

Come to your closet and pray. Ask to be forgiven.

He's a nice boy, Mama. You'll like him. You'll really like him, Mama.

Boys.

[ laughs ]

The boys! The boys! Yes, the boys...

After the blood come the boys....

- Mama... - Like sniffing dogs,

grinning and slobbering and trying to find out where that smell comes from.

Where the smell is. That smell.

Listen, I know where they take them in their cars, I've seen it all!

- Well, you're not going. - Already said I would.

Tell that boy you're not going, or we're gonna move from here!

No.

We'll move from here and never see that boy again!

- Mama, please say that Tommy and me... - The rain's coming in. I'm gonna close the window.

Mama, please sit and talk to me!

[ suspenseful music ] [ windows slamming shut ]

[ thunder crashing ]

I'm goin', Mama.

And things are gonna change around here.

Witch.

Got Satan's power.

It's nothin' to do with Satan, Mama.

It's me. Me.

If I concentrate hard enough, I can move things.

- Satan is clever. - No, Mama.

I'm not the only one.

Other people can do it. I read about it.

You poor child. Don't you know?

He doesn't let you know he's working through you.

Mama... I know.

He entered your father and carried him off!

- He ran away, Mama. - The devil tempted him!

He ran away with a woman, Mama.

Everybody knows that.

You must renounce this power. You must give it up. You must never use it.

I'm goin', Mama.

You can't stop me.

And I don't wanna talk about it any more.

Ernest, listen tonight's prom night and everything, right?

- I didn't know you were interested in going. - What do you mean? I'm a student here, ain't I?

- I don't know. Are you? - Sure I am. I got so much spirit in this school,

I wanna be on the committee.

You're a little late, Freddy. I could've used you a week ago on the decorating committee.

No, I'm not late, Ernest. I'm right on time, pal. You know, I wanna collect the ballots. You know,

for the king and queen and the voting, and the, you know?

- Think we could arrange that? - Okay. Can you be here at 6.30?

No. No, I can't be here at 6.30.

I'll be here at 8. How's 8?

- Yeah, that'll do. Okay. - 8's fine with me. Okay, well, we'll see you then.

- Yeah, see you Freddy. Take it easy. - I'll take it any way I can get it, pal.

Hey, Helen.

Helen!

Helen!

- What? - Did you hear about Tommy Ross?

- What? - Did you hear about Tommy Ross?

- What? - He's taking Carrie White to the prom.

- No! - Yeah!

[ laughing ]

- When did that happen? He can't do that! Where's Sue? - Yes, he can. He asked her.

- What's she gonna wear? - Who, Carrie?

A sackcloth?! [ laughing ]

- Sweetie, keep those stars coming faster. - They're coming.

What's this I hear about Tommy taking Carrie to the prom?

Whatever you heard, it's true.

[ scoffs ]

Why is he doing it? Everybody is talking about it.

I asked him to cause I thought I owed it to Carrie.

- Where's that put everybody else? - They gotta deal with it in their own way.

- What do you mean? - Oh... just something.

- Well, you're not going to the prom. - Oh, I'll be here.

You'll be here? What do you mean, you're going to the prom?

Shut up. I will tell you later. You're gonna be in on it, don't worry about a thing.

I'm gonna be in on it? What?

I'll tell you later!

- I want to know now, Chris. You can't give me a hint? - Just wait.

I won't tell anybody, I promise. I won't say a word. I promise, I'm your best friend. Come on.

Okay.

[ funk music playing ]

[ no audible dialogue ]

- You gotta rent yourself a tuxedo for the prom. - I know, I only got 10 bucks, though.

You can rent yourself a tuxedo! You don't have to look great!

Hey.

[ whistles ]

Does this look nice?

He looks beautiful. You can look good. Make a good impression for once in your life.

- Would you go out with me? - Not with ruffles.

You don't have to get ruffles for yourself. You always gotta make a joke, right?

- I don't like ruffles... - You don't have to get ruffles!

Alright, now look at me, Beak. Don't I look sharp?

It looks good on you, but I don't look right in a tuxedo.

- How do you know? Have you ever put on a tuxedo? - I don't have a tuxedo body.

[ conversation speeds up ]

- I know they have tuxedos here for you. - But I wouldn't look right in it.

Wait a second. I know just the tuxedo for him.

- Well, what do you think? - I like it. I think it's terrific.

Look at that. No ruffles at all!

Red. I might've known it would be red.

It's pink, Mama.

Look what Tommy gave me, Mama.

Aren't they beautiful?

I can see your dirty pillows.

Everyone will.

Breasts, Mama.

They're called breasts.

And every woman has them.

Take off that dress.

No.

- We'll burn it together and pray for forgiveness. - No, Mama.

He's not gonna come.

Go away!

Stop it, Mama!

- Stop hurting yourself, Mama! - I'm not!

He's gonna laugh at you! They're all gonna laugh at you!

- They're not gonna laugh at me! - It's not too late. You can stay here with me.

I don't wanna stay with you, Mama!

Look, I'll answer the door. I'll tell him you're sick!

- I'll tell him you changed your mind! - Be quiet.

[ suspenseful music ] Sit down! Be quiet!

[ tires squeal ] [ mechanical noises ]

I'll be home early.

I love you, Mama.

Tommy,

could we wait here just a minute?

[ car door shuts ]

Are you scared?

Mm-hmm.

Maybe this was a mistake.

Oh, no. It's not gonna be that bad.

They're a good crowd. Really.

[ distant applause ]

Really.

Don't be so nervous.

Besides, I'd look awfully stupid dancing by myself, wouldn't I?

Hi, Miss Collins.

You look so pretty!

You, too. You look beautiful.

Thank you! I know I don't, not really, but thank you, anyway.

May I sit down?

- Yeah. Chair... - Thank you.

I'm gonna go and talk to some people.

♪ You were born to touch

♪ Born to want too much

I remember my prom. I had a date with the, uh...

...the captain of the basketball team.

And he was 6 feet, 7 inches tall, so

I bought a pair of 3-inch spike heels so that our kiss goodnight would be, um...

...less awkward. Anyway, we went in his pick-up truck,

which of course broke down, and we had to walk the last half-mile to the prom.

By the time I got there, my feet were so blistered that all I could do was

just sit there. I couldn't dance. So we just sat there and, uh... just talked.

And, uh,

it was... magic. Is it like that for you?

It's, um...

it's nice.

- Just nice? - No...! It's...

It's like, uh...

- It's like being on Mars. - You'll never forget it.

I don't think I will.

Thank you.

Hey, what's goin' on here?

[ laughing ]

What are you doing with my date?

- Oh, we're just talking, you know. - Yeah?

Have a lovely time, okay?

And you, too!

Bye.

Don't let me catch you hugging any guys like that.

I won't.

Better not.

I won't.

Okay.

- Sorry. - That's all right.

Some of the kids are going over to Nolston's after the prom.

That's okay.

What?

If you wanna go with your friends, I don't wanna spoil anything.

Would you just let me finish?

What I was gonna say is that, if you'd like to,

we could stop in at The Beehive for a couple minutes.

- I've never been there. - No?

Good! Well, then, let's go!

- Okay. - Okay?

For sure. Great.

- Why what? - Why am I here?

Because it's the prom.

Why am I here with you?

Why'd you ask me?

Because I wanted to.

Why'd you want to?

Because you liked my poem.

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 of his hands all over me...

I should have given you to God when you were born.

But I was weak and backsliding.
