I know you're listening, Carrie, come on downstairs!
[coming down from upstairs or closing the door, Margaret has called her down after the phone call she received]
Momma, who is that? Who called?
You're a woman now.
Why didn't you tell me, Momma? I... [Margaret slaps Carrie's face begins to read a verse]
[reading from religious manual]
And God made Eve from the rib of Adam, and Eve was weak and loosed the raven on the world, and the raven was called sin. (pause) Say it, the raven was called sin.
Why didn't you tell me, Momma?
Say it. [hits Carrie in the face] The raven was called sin. [hits her again]
No, Momma.
And the first sin was intercourse, the first sin was intercourse.
I didn't sin, Momma.
Say it. [hits her again]
I didn't sin, Momma!
The first sin was intercourse, the first sin was intercourse, the first sin was intercourse.
And the first sin was intercourse, momma, I was so scared, I thought I was dying, and the girls... they all (everyone) laughed at me and threw tampons at me, momma.
No!
Eve was weak!
NO!
Eve was weak, say it, woman!
NO, NO, MOMMA!
Say it!
And Eve was weak... Eve was weak!
And the Lord visited Eve with the curse, and the curse was the curse of the Christ's blood!
You should have told me, momma, You should've told me.
[kneels down and grabs Carrie's hands]
Oh, Lord, help this sinning woman see the sin of her days and ways, show her that if she had remained sinless, this curse of the Christ's blood would never have come down on her!
No, momma, nooooo!
Don't lie to me, Carrieta, don't you know by now that I can see the inside of you?
Noooo.
I can see the sin as surely as God can!
Let me go, Momma, please, you're hurting me.
We'll pray.
No! No, Momma! No! NO! NO, NO,...LET ME GO! God, NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOO!
[puts Carrie in the closet and locks the closet door]
[bangs on the door]
OW, AH, GET OFF ME, MOMMAAAAAAA! LET ME GOOOOO, LET ME GOOOOO! LET ME OUUUT! [bangs on the door] MOMMA, LET ME OUT, please, momma, please, help me, MOMMA, GOD!
