- 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: 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.
