Miss Collins
- Miss Collins: You too, Chris, and spit out that gum.
- Chris Hargenson: Where will I put it, Miss Collins?
- Miss Collins: You can choke on it for all I care just get it out of your mouth.
- Miss Collins: [to the girls] Now, my idea for this little trick you pulled was three days' suspension and refusal of your prom tickets.
- [the girls gasp]
- Norma: [in disbelief] What? God!
- Miss Collins: 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.
- [the girls sigh with relief]
- Miss Collins: Still, there's one little catch. It's to be my detention.
- [the girls are once again perturbed]
- Miss Collins: That's fifty minutes every day starting today in the athletic field. Get the picture?
- Chris Hargenson: I'm not coming.
- Miss Collins: 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.
- [the girls proceed begrudgingly]
- Chris Hargenson: Where are you going?
- Norma: Come on.
- Chris Hargenson: I'm not coming.
- Norma: You're really not gonna come? You're gonna miss out on the prom?
- Chris Hargenson: I'm not coming.
- Norma: Well, I'm not gonna miss the prom.
- Chris Hargenson: Fuck.
- Miss Collins: Carrie? Carrie. Carrie, what's the matter? What happened?
- Carrie: Nothing.
- Miss Collins: Was it one of the girls? Did one of the girls do something to you?
- Carrie: No.
- Miss Collins: What is it, then? You can trust me, you know that? Would you tell me?
- Carrie: I got invited to the prom.
- Miss Collins: That's great! That's fantastic! So what are you down here moping around for?
- Carrie: Tommy Ross asked me.
- Miss Collins: That's even better. He's really cute, huh?
- Carrie: I know who he goes around with. They're just trying to trick me again. I know.
- Tommy Ross: What is the big deal?
- Miss Collins: Because it is a very big deal for Carrie White, and you know it!
- Tommy Ross: Well, she already said no, anyway.
- Sue Snell: Yeah, well, with a little effort, you can change that.
- Tommy Ross: Don't count your chickens.
- Miss Collins: Just don't try!
- Tommy Ross: Fine. I won't try.
- Sue Snell: Hey, wait a second! It's not fine! You can't order someone not to take someone to the prom.
- Miss Collins: Well, you know, I can make sure that you don't hurt Carrie White anymore.
- Sue Snell: We're not trying to hurt her, Miss Collins. We're trying to help her!
- Miss Collins: How? Hey, Tommy. Um, don't you think you're just gonna look a little ridiculous when you walk in the prom with Carrie White?
- Sue Snell: We don't care how we look. Do we?
- Tommy Ross: Well...
- Miss Collins: The period's not up, Hargenson.
- Chris Hargenson: It is for me.
- Miss Collins: [to the other girls] Keep running!
- [to Chris]
- Miss Collins: Well, there are ten minutes left.
- Chris Hargenson: Stick 'em up your...
- [Miss Collins slaps her]
- Chris Hargenson: You can't hit us! You'll get canned for this, you bitch!
- Miss Collins: One more word out of you, and I'm gonna knock you down! Do you understand me?
- Chris Hargenson: She can't get away with this if we all stick together! Norma? Helen? Sue!
- Sue Snell: Shut up, Chris. Just shut up.
- Chris Hargenson: This isn't over. This isn't over by a long shot!
- Miss Collins: You're out of the prom, Hargenson.
- [she turns to the other girls]
- Miss Collins: Okay, the show's over. In place! Run! One, two! One, two! One, two!
- Miss Collins: Okay, line up.
- [Nobody listens]
- Miss Collins: Line up!
- [the girls rise to their feet, still conversing with each other, moving slowly]
- Miss Collins: Move it! On your feet right now, two lines!
- [They begin forming the two lines she demanded]
- Miss Collins: Alice and Mary, eyes front! Katie!
- [the girls all form two perfect lines, quiet themselves and look to Miss Collins, except for Chris Hargenson]
- Miss Collins: You too, Chris!
- [Chris turns around from her conversation, chewing on gum]
- Miss Collins: And spit out that gum!
- Chris Hargenson: [Sarcastically] Where'll I put, Miss Collins?
- Miss Collins: You could choke on it for all I care, just get it out of your mouth!
- [Chris, slightly angry, tears off a piece of loose leaf paper and uses it to take the gum out of her mouth; Miss Collins walks down the line to Norma standing there with a smirk upon her face]
- Miss Collins: Wipe that smirk off your face, Norma.
- [Norma complies with some fear of Miss Collins]
- Miss Collins: Okay. Now, I want you all to know that you did a really shitty thing yesterday, a really shitty thing.
- [Some laughter from Helen]
- Miss Collins: Did any of 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?
- Chris Hargenson: Billy Nolan.
- Miss Collins: Who?
- Chris Hargenson: [With some annoyance] Billy Nolan.
- Miss Collins: [a little more testy] I'm sorry, can't hear you, could you speak up?
- Chris Hargenson: [With anger] Billy Nolan!
- Miss Collins: Well, isn't he the lucky one? What about you, Sue? Who's taking you?
- Sue Snell: [With tears in her eyes from feeling the guilt] Tommy Ross.
- Miss Collins: Right. Now my idea for this little trick you pulled was 3 days suspension and refusal of your Prom tickets.
- Helen: [All the girls start squirming uncomfortably] Oh!
- Norma: What?
- [Whispered]
- Norma: God!
- Miss Collins: That'd get you where 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.
- [the girls all relax, feeling relieved]
- Miss Collins: Still, there's one little catch: It's to be my detention.
- [the girls groan]
- Miss Collins: It's 50 minutes, everyday, starting today on the athletic field. Get the picture?
- Chris Hargenson: I'm not coming.
- Miss Collins: That's up to you, Chris. That's up to all of you. Punishment for skipping detention is 3 days suspension and refusal of your Prom tickets.
- [More groaning from the girls]
- Miss Collins: Any other thoughts?
- [Silence from the girls]
- Miss Collins: Good. Now change up.
- [She leaves. with the other girls going to change up for gym class]
- Chris Hargenson: [Annoyed] Where you going?
- [Norma tries to get Chris to see reason]
- Chris Hargenson: I'm not coming!
- Norma: You're really not gonna come? You're gonna miss out on the Prom?
- Chris Hargenson: I'm NOT coming!
- Norma: Well, you're gonna miss the Prom.
- [She walks away]
- Chris Hargenson: [Whispered] Fuck.
