Quotes

Dialogue

Louis: Has anyone ever buried a person up there? Jud: Christ on His Throne, NO! Whoever would!?

Dialogue

Louis: I'll bite, Jud. What's the bottom of the truth? Jud: That, sometimes, dead is better. The person that you put up there ain't the person that comes back. It might look like that person, but it ain't that person, because whatever lives on the ground beyond the Pet Sematary ain't human at all.

Dialogue

Rachel: It's okay, Ellie! You just had a bad dream. Ellie: It wasn't a dream, it was Paxcow! Paxcow says daddy is going to do something really bad! Rachel: Who is this Paxcow? Ellie: He's a ghost, a good ghost! He was sent to warn us!

Dialogue

Jud: Hello? Rachel: Hello, Jud. It's Rachel Creed. I'm calling from Chicago. Jud: Chicago? Is Louis with you? Rachel: No. We're going to be here a while, and he needed a few days to close things up back there. I just wondered if he was with you. Jud: No. But if he drops by, I'll tell him to call you. Rachel: Don't bother, Jud. I'm coming home. Jud: Rachel, no. You don't want to do that. Rachel: I have to do it, Jud. Good-bye. [dial tone] Jud: Rachel! Rachel!

Dialogue

Louis: Hello. Irwin: Hello, Louis. It's Irwin. I just wanted to be sure Rachel got back all right. Louis? Are you there? Louis: Yes, I'm here. Irwin: Did she get back all right? Louis: Yes. She's fine. Irwin: Well, put her on at that end, and I'll put Ellie on this one. Ellie's very worried about her mother. She's almost in hysterics. Louis: She's... Rachel's asleep. Irwin: I suggest you wake her up. Ellie had a dream that her mother was dead. Louis: Irwin, I can't talk to you right now. (PHONE RINGING) Irwin, I told you I can't talk to you right now. Gage: I'm at Jud's, Daddy. Will you come over and play with me? [on the phone] First I played with Judd. Then mommy came, and I played with mommy. We played, daddy, we had a awful good time! Now, I want to play with you... Louis: What did you do? [Gage laughs wickedly] WHAT DID YOU DO!?

Dialogue

Victor: I'm sorry Louis. I'm very sorry, but don't make it worse! Don't! Louis: I waited too long with Gage. But with Rachel... it will work this time! Because she just died; she died just a little while ago! Victor: Please, Louis! NOOOOOO! [fades out of existence]
