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. Okay, the show's over. In place. Run! One, two. One, two. One two.
Furious, she blames Carrie for her misfortune.
Chris Hargenson: She can't get away with this. I'm gonna get her.
Sue Snell: Let it go, Chris.
Chris Hargenson: Like Hell, I will!
Meanwhile, Sue Snell (Amy Irving) feels guilty about her part in teasing Carrie, so she asks her boyfriend, Tommy to take Carrie to the prom. Tommy begrudgingly agrees.
After Tommy asks her to the prom, Carrie refuses, thinking that yet another trick is being played on her.
Later, Miss Collins is making her way through the school grounds when she notices Carrie sitting alone, looking gloom.
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.
After a comforting pep talk with Miss Collins, and after Tommy's further insistence, Carrie finally agrees to go to the prom with Tommy.
While everyone else is getting ready for the prom, Chris schemes with her boyfriend Billy Nolan (John Travolta) and best friend Norma (P.J. Soles) to get revenge on Carrie.
They go to a farm and slaughter some pigs, drain their blood into a bucket, and place the bucket on one of the rafters in the school gym.
Carrie asks her mother's permission to go to the prom. Her mother becomes unhinged at the suggestion, commenting that Tommy is only after her for sex and that this will lead her down a road to perpetual sin. This leads to a violent argument between Carrie and her mother.
Margaret White: Carrie, you haven't touched your apple cake.
Carrie: It gives me pimples, Mama.
Margaret White: Pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you.
Carrie [after long pause]: Mama?
Margaret White: Yeah.
Carrie: Mama, please say that I've got t-to try and get along with people better.
Margaret White [giggle]: What are you going on about, Carrie?
Carrie: I've been invited to the prom.
Margaret White [long pause, then looking sternly at Carrie]: Prom?
Carrie: Yeah, the prom. Everyone's goin...
Margaret White: It was that teacher that called, wasn't it?
Carrie: Please see that I'm not like you, Mama, I'm funny. I mean, all the kids think I'm funny, and I don't wanna be. I wanna be normal, I wanna be a whole person, before it's too late for me to . . .
Margaret throws tea on her face, Carrie wipes it off.
Carrie: His name is Tommy Ross, and he's a very nice boy, Mama.
Margaret White: No.
Carrie: And he promised to come in and meet you . . .
Margaret White: I said no.
Carrie: . . . and he'd have me home by midnight and...
Margaret White: No, no, no, no!
Carrie: I've accepted, Mama! I accepted it!
Margaret White: Go to your closet.
Carrie: No!
Margaret White [pause]: After all you've been taught, Carrie?
Carrie: Everyone isn't bad, Mama! Everything isn't a sin!
Margaret White: Go to your closet and pray, ask to be forgiven.
Carrie uses her telekinesis to slam windows and doors in her home.
The night of the prom, another fight breaks out between Carrie and her mother . . .
Margaret White [referring to Carrie's prom gown]: Red. I might have known it would be red.
Carrie: It's pink, Mama.
Carrie [presenting corsage]: Look what Tommy gave me, Mama. Aren't they beautiful?
Margaret White: I can see your dirty pillows. Everyone will.
Carrie: Breasts, Mama. They're called breasts, and every woman has them.
Margaret White: He's not coming.
Carrie: He is coming, Mama. Now stop it. I'm nervous enough.
Margaret White [scratches her own face]: No, he's not coming. He's not gonna come.
Carrie: Go away!
Margaret slaps herself.
Carrie: Stop it, Mama!
Margaret pulls her own hair.
Carrie: Stop hurting yourself, Mama!
Margaret White: He's gonna laugh at you. They're all gonna laugh at you!
Carrie: No one's gonna laugh at me, Mama.
Margaret White: Stay here with me.
Carrie: I don't want to stay here with you, Mama. Now sit down and be quiet.
Margaret White: I'll go downstairs, I'll answer the door. I'll tell him that you're sick. I'll tell him that you changed your mind.
Carrie uses her powers to push her mother into a bed.
Carrie: SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET!
Margaret White [gets up from the bed]: Listen, I'll tell him that you changed...
Carrie [forces Margaret onto the bed again]: SIT DOWN!
Carrie: . Just sit there, Mama. Don't move, and don't say a word until I'm gone. I'll be home early. I love you, Mama.
Carrie leaves.
Margaret White: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Carrie and Tommy arrive at the prom, and Carrie begins to feel accepted by Tommy's peers.
Carrie: Tommy?
Tommy Ross: Yeah?
Carrie: Why?
Tommy Ross: Why what?
Carrie: Why am I here?
Tommy Ross: Because it's the prom.
Carrie: Why am I here with you?
Tommy Ross: Because I asked you.
