Carrie Page #3

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

Just get it out of your mouth.

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.

Did any of you ever stop to think

that Carrie White has feelings?

Do any of you ever stop to think?

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, 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 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.

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?

- Gotta go.

- I'm not coming.

- You're really not gonna come?

- I'm not coming.

- You're gonna miss the prom.

F***!

The period's not up, Hargenson.

- 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 b*tch!

One more word and I'll knock you down!

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.

Okay, the show's over.

In place, run!

Come on, Bates, let's go!

Hang 'em high! Hang 'em low!

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…
