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.

Crazy Carrie, Crazy Carrie.

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

(THUDDING)

MARGARET:
Oh, Lord, help my child.

She's lost.

Mama, stop it.

Mama!

I don't want to upset you.

So, you're a woman now.

And God made Eve from the rib of Adam.

- And what, Carrie? Say it.

- No, Mama.

- Say it.

- Talk to me.

- Please just talk to me.

- And Eve was weak.

I just want you to talk to me.

And the first sin was

the sin of intercourse.

And the first sin was

the sin of intercourse.

Why didn't you tell me, Mama?

And God visited Eve with a curse.

And the curse was a curse of blood.

I'm not going to say that.

That's not even in the Bible.

It doesn't say that anywhere.

Oh, Lord. Help this little girl

see the sin of her days and ways.

Show her if she had remained innocent,

the curse of blood would

not have come upon her as it did on Eve.

I'm not Eve, Mama. I didn't sin.

You showered with those other girls.

You had lust-filled thoughts.

Everyone has to shower, Mama.

Everyone. That's just the rules.

You must be different,

because He can see you.

I don't want to be different, Mama.

I want to be like them.

He can smell the sin on you.

And He will punish you.

(GASPS)

I will not let that

come down upon you. I will not.

Lord have mercy.

No. "The Lord is good.

His unfailing love endures forever,

and his faithfulness continues

through all generations. "

Psalms 100, verse 5.

I'm going to keep you

away from that school.

- You can't.

- We'll pray. We'll pray together.

To save our women-weak,

wicked, sinning souls.

You didn't tell me and they laughed.

I didn't sin, you sinned.

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
