Q

tommy: hey-hey-hey-shh….
listen what if instead of going to all those parties after prom you and me drive out to the beach, and watch the sun come up together-just the two of us?

A

How do you do that?

45
Q

tommy: what?

A

Make everything better?

46
Q

frieda: cmon sue- we’ve got a prom committee meeting

A

Start without me. I’ll be there in a minute.

47
Q

frieda: you got it

A

Hi, Carrie.
That was nice - really nice - what you said about Tommy’s poem. I thought it was beautiful, too.
Look, um, about yesterday - you know, what happened. I don’t know, things just sort of got out of control, and I just wanted you to know-

48
Q

chris: that goddamn scary white! this is all her fault!

A

Let it go, Chris.

49
Q

chris: why are you taking her side?

A

This isn’t about sides. What did Carrie ever do to you? Or to any of us?

50
Q

chris: well well, aren’t you getting to be the joan of arc around here. oh wait remind me: who was that in there pitching with the rest of us?

A

I was. But I’m sorry.

51
Q

Carrie… Carrie, I’m sorry.

52
Q

A

Shut up, Chris - just shut up! Not everything’s about you.

53
Q

tommy: hey can i run something by you?

A

I was about to ask you the same thing.

54
Q

tommy: you go first

A

No, you.

55
Q

tommy: okay. so i was thinking, you know how everything’s laid out in front of us, our whole future, all planned out.

A

Yeah…

56
Q

tommy: well i thought i might-try something different

A

“Different?”

57
Q

tommy: what would happen if i put the whole sports thing on hold, and see if i’ve got what it takes to be - a writer?
Too much huh? i knew it was stupid

A

No, no - it’s epic!

58
Q

tommy: epic?

A

Yes - you could be an amazing writer.

59
Q

tommy: yeah? you mean it? thanks
so what did you want to ask me?

A

Nothing. That’s okay.

60
Q

tommy: come on, what’s really been going on with you?

A

You wouldn’t understand.

61
Q

tommy: think about what you’re asking me here. i’m sorry. i… just can’t do this

A

Okay, never mind.

62
Q

tommy: sue!

A

No, I need to try to fix this.

63
Q

65
Q

A

She won’t.

66
Q

tommy: how do you know?

A

I’ve seen the way she looks at you. Trust me. She’ll do it.

67
Q

male voice: turning to the night of may 28, what can you tell us about the events leading up to the prom?

A

Prom… It was meant to be a celebration - the biggest night of our lives. It was supposed to be the end of one chapter, and the beginning of another…

68
Q

boys: (sung) it’s the least we deserve after everything we’ve paid

A

(+Girls) Sad!

69
Q

frieda: god, sue-everybody’s talking

A

Let them. I don’t care.

70
Q

frieda: i cant believe you’re going to miss your own senior prom

A

C’mon, it’s just one night.

71
Q

[beginning of act 2 scene 2—interrogation]

A

If only… if only…

72
Q

male voice: if only what…?

A

If only that day in the shower hadn’t happened; if only I hadn’t asked Tommy to take Carrie to the Prom; if only somebody had listened… and paid attention…

73
Q

gardner: sue?

A

If only I could go back and-

74
Q

gardner: sue are you listening?

A

Sorry… ?

75
Q

gardner: well? why did tommy ask carrie to prom?

A

I thought we could help her - get her to join in, and I don’t know-

76
Q

gardner: make her a part of things? what could you possibly be thinking?

A

This is really none of your business.

77
Q

gardner: excuse me?

A

What is the big deal?

78
Q

gardner: it is a very big deal to carrie!
and don’t you think you’re going to look just a little ridiculous when you show up to prom with her?

A

We don’t care how we look. Right, Tommy?

79
Q

tommy: well… now that you mention it

A

Seriously? Oh, great!

80
Q

gardner: clearly, you two have a lot to discuss.
listen to me and listen good: hurt carrie in any way and you’ll have me to answer to

A

I thought we were on the same page about this.

81
Q

tommy: we are!

A

Then why are you having second thoughts?
Tommy, you don’t have to go through with this if you don’t want to.

82
Q

tommy: look i said i’d do it and i will

A

I thought we agreed to help Carrie, and now you’re mad at me.

83
Q

tommy: im not mad. im just… disappointed. i wanted to take my girl to prom

A

And I wanted to make things right!

84
Q

tommy: listen to me. all this high school drama – all this stuff– none of it means anything. before you know it it’s all gonna be over

A

What about us? Are we going to be over too?

85
Q

tommy: what? is that what you’re worried about? babe a month from now we’ll be off backpacking through, europe, and all this will seem like ancient history

A

Promise?

86
Q

tommy: i promised id show you the world didnt i?

A

What are you doing?

87
Q

chris: you’re such a good friend norma

A

88
Q

A

Oh, my God!

89
Q

A

Blue -

90
Q

A

Me? Yeah, right. All I do lately is mess up.

A

Tommy…

92
Q

93
Q

tommy: what is that? get out of here!
damn! i gotta pick up my tux before they close

A

Tommy?
Thank you.

94
Q

tommy: i love you

A

“I love you”… He’d never said that before. That’s what I remember most about that day.

95
Q

tommy + carrie: (sung) a dreamer in disguise

A

I just couldn’t stay home. After everything that had happened, I had to see for myself how it had all worked out. I needed to see.

Carrie looked so at ease - so happy.

96
Q

kids: (sung) GIVIN IT GIVIN IT

A

Norma? What are you doing?

97
Q

norma: uh.. sue. hi! i didnt expect to see you here tonight. god, you’re underdressed

Miss Gardner - Miss Gardner!

100
Q

A

You’ve got to listen - something terrible’s going to happen!

101
Q

gardner: i knew it - i knew you were up to something!

A

You’ve got it all wrong. It’s not me-

102
Q

gardner: sue i warned you - get out!

A

No!

103
Q

[everyone has died, sue is the lone survivor]

A

I felt so helpless.
There was nothing I could do.
I followed the path of destruction. It led from the school… through the town… and up Chamberlain Street… to Carrie’s house. That’s where I would find her.

104
Q

carrie: momm-aaaa! NO!

A

carrie…
Oh, my god. Carrie…

105
Q

carrie: i’m so scared

A

Don’t be afraid. It’s all right.

106
Q

A

I’m here for you.

107
Q

carrie: i’m so cold

A

I’ve got you.
