Come on, can you stand up?

CARRIE:
It hurts! It hurts!

It hurts! Something's not right.

Something's not right.

Okay, okay. What are you talking about?

Ms. Desjardin,

I don't think she knows it's her period.

No!

All right, Sue.

Get out of here! You're not helping.

- No! No!

- Calm down!

(ALL GASP)

Everyone get out! Now! Out!

Okay, deep breaths. Come here.

Come on. It's okay. You're okay, sweetie.

It's totally normal.

Shh.

Do you know what it means?

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)

(SCREAMS)

Okay, sweetie.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Are you, uh, feeling better?

Can I get you some aspirin?

Some juice or something?

(GASPS)

DESJARDIN:
Juice? Really, Henry?

MORTON:
Maybe you just

want us to leave you alone.

Carrie, honey,

I am so sorry that I slapped you.

I should have handled it better.

It's totally normal

for young girls to get their periods.

It usually actually happens

a little bit earlier.

Is this your first time?

(SIGHS)

Honey, do you understand

what's happening to your body?

Do you know what it means?

CARRIE:
What?

I don't know.

I felt something moving down there.

DESJARDIN:
- Oh, honey.

- Whoa!

Maybe you could, uh,

talk to a counselor about that
