History Heartwarming / Carrie2002

-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' Everybody's different. People will say "oh my God, so and so hasn't changed at all" but they're ''lying''. Everybody changes and not always for the better. Like... those girls over there?

-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' Just remember: nothing that happens up until now matters after graduation. Nothing. Except--you know, like--studying and good grades. You take what you want and you leave the rest behind. You never even have to see any of these people again if you don't want to.
-->'''Carrie White:''' I don't?
-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' No. Oh! But I highly recommend the ten-year reunion.
-->'''Carrie White:''' Why?

-->''(Rita gestures toward a group of popular pretty girls)''
-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' Right now, they're at their peak. They'll never more pretty or more popular. And in ten years, they'll be ''fat''. And the fat girls? Some of them will be thin. And the cute boys will be bald and the jocks will have beer bellies--it's ''fantastic''.
-->'''Carrie White:''' ''(giggles)'' Really?
-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' I swear to God. And the ones who are miserable... turn out just fine.
-->''(Carrie breaks into a big smile)''
-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' They do. So enjoy yourself. Try not to take it too seriously and it'll be over before you know it.

-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' Having fun?
-->'''Tommy Ross:''' Yeah.
-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' Good. I just thought you should know: if you show Carrie anything less than the time of your life, I'll see to it personally that you're expelled.
-->''(Tommy has an OhCrap and is appropriately intimidated)''
-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' Do you understand the words that just came out of my mouth?
-->'''Tommy Ross:''' Yes.
-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' Then go dance with her.
-->''(Tommy starts to go back to the table and Rita stops him)''
-->'''Rita Desjarden:''' Stick to the slow songs, she'll look stupid dancing to anything fast.
-->''(Rita walks off, Tommy takes her advice and moments later has Carrie dance with him to a slow song)''

* One small detail is that Carrie and Sue visit the White's grave. Unlike the other versions, the headstone isn't vandalized and it's implied that Carrie wasn't blamed for the disaster. Also, Carrie lays flowers on her mother's grave, making it clear that she still loves her mother despite everything.

-->'''Tommy Ross:''' Yes.

-->'''Tommy Ross:''' Yes

-->''(stops him)''

* At the beginning of the film, and unlike other versions, Tommy is shown to have consideration and respect for Carrie long before the prom. When a boy starts taunting Carrie, Tommy stands up for her by throwing a book at him to shut him up. It's no wonder that she's got a crush on him.

* Even though things end in tragedy, Rita Desjarden's MamaBear protectiveness of Carrie following the locker room incident. She combines elements of both a MamaBear and CoolBigSis to Carrie by being both comforting and supporting. Her TheReasonYouSuck speech over the locker room incident is just icing on the cake.

* Besides Rita, Mr. Morton also deserves special mention, as he stands up for Carrie and Rita when Chris' father threatens to file suit against them and is also genuinely happy for Carrie when she's elected Prom Queen and just as horrified when she and Tommy are hurt and does his best to help everyone.

* Rita Desjarden's MamaBear protectiveness of Carrie following the locker room incident. She combines elements of both a MamaBear and CoolBigSis to Carrie by being both comforting and supporting. Her TheReasonYouSuck speech over the lock room incident is just icing on the cake.

** We then have her confronting Tommy, further reinforcing her MamaBear status and giving him some advice.

* Rita Desjarden's MamaBear protectiveness of Carrie following the locker room incident. She combines elements of both a MamaBear and CoolBigSis to Carrie by being both comforting and supporting. Her TheReasonYouSuck speech is just icing on the cake. During the prom, she confides in Carrie that they're not so different in that she hated high school too.
