- [Louis returns home after burying Rachel]
- Jud Crandall: [narrating] The soil of a man's heart is stonier, Louis. A man grows what he can, and he tends it. Because what you buy is what you own. And what you own... always comes home to you.
- [Victor near death whispers a sentence to Louis]
- Victor Pascow: The soil... in a man's heart... is stonier.
- Louis Creed: [about the Indian Burial Ground] Has anyone ever buried a person up there?
- Jud Crandall: [Jud spills his drink] Christ on his throne, no. And who ever would?
- [Louis prepares to inject the reanimated Church with the syringe]
- Louis Creed: Today is thanksgiving day for cats, but only if they came back from the dead.
- Louis Creed: [sees the reanimated Church laying in bed with Rachel] Fuck off, hairball.
- Louis Creed: Fuck off, hairball.
- Jud Crandall: How's your cat, Louis?
- Louis Creed: It's Ellie's cat.
- Jud Crandall: No. It's your cat now.
- [Jud tells Louis the truth about the ground beyond the Pet Sematary]
- Louis Creed: I'll bite Jud. What's the bottom of the truth?
- Jud Crandall: Well, that sometimes, death is better.
- Jud Crandall: [narrating] The person you put up there ain't the person that comes back. It may look like that person, but it ain't that person. 'Cause... whatever lives in the ground beyond the Pet Sematary ain't human at all.
- [Rachel sees her sister Zelda in a dream]
- Zelda: I'm coming for you, Rachel. And this time... I'll get you. Gage, and I... will get you... for letting us die!
- [chuckling]
- Jud Crandall: Do you know what a graveyard really is?
- Ellie: Well, I guess not
- Jud Crandall: It's a place where the dead speak.
- [Ellie gasps]
- Jud Crandall: No, not right out loud. Their stones speak or their markers. This ain't a scary place, Ellie. It's a place of rest and speaking.
- [Louis talks to Victor's ghost at the Pet Sematary]
- Victor Pascow: This is the place where the dead speak.
- Louis Creed: I want to wake up. I want to wake up. That's all.
- Victor Pascow: Don't go on, doc. No matter how much you may feel you have to. Do not go on to the place where the dead... walk.
- [Victor points to the path]
- [the ghost of Victor warns Louis not to bury Rachel at the Indian burial ground]
- Victor Pascow: I'm sorry, Louis, I'm so sorry, but don't make it worse. Don't.
- Louis Creed: I waited too long with Gage. With Rachel... it will work this time, because she just died. She just died a little while ago.
- Victor Pascow: [Victor screams before fading away] Louis... don't. Please! Louis! No!
- [Louis watches the reanimated Church die]
- Louis Creed: Go on. Lay down. Play dead.
- Louis Creed: [Louis screams] Be dead!
- [the Creed family enter the Pet Sematary]
- Jud Crandall: I told you it was a bad road Louis. It's killed a lot of pets and made a lot of kids unhappy. At least something good come of it. This place. Couldn't plant nothing but corpses here anyway, I guess.
- Rachel: How can you call it a good thing? A graveyard for pets killed in the road, built by broken hearted children.
- Jud Crandall: Well, they have to learn about death somehow. Now, don't they Mrs. Creed?
- [Jud and the Creed family look at the Pet Sematary gravestones]
- Ellie: Daddy, look, this one's a goldfishy.
- Jud Crandall: That's right, Ellie. They weren't all killed by the road. Especially the ones from back in my times as a child. They get older as you go towards the middle. Harder to read.
- [Mr. Goldman yells at Louis during the funeral]
- Irwin Goldman: I knew something like this would happen. I told her when you were first married, you'll have all the grief you can stand, and more, I said. Now, look at this.
- Irwin Goldman: [screaming] I hope you rot in hell! Where were you when he was playing in the road? You stinking shit! You killer of children!
- [Jud makes a comment about Missy after her funeral]
- Jud Crandall: Poor Missy. I don't know why God takes someone like her. She should still have a bunch of years in front of her and let's an old fart like me go on and on.
- [Ellie asks her dad Louis where they go when they die]
- Ellie: Is Missy in heaven, do you think?
- Louis Creed: I don't know, honey. Different people believe in all sorts of different things. Some believe in heaven or hell, and some believe we come back as little children, and some believe we just wink out, like a candle flame when the wind blows hard
- Ellie: Do you believe that?
- Louis Creed: [Louis looks down at the growling Church] No. I think we go on
- Louis Creed: [Louis then looks at Ellie and smiles] Yeah. I have faith in that.
- Ellie: [Ellie smiles back] You believe in it.
- [last lines]
- Rachel: [Louis with tears in his eyes sees the reanimated Rachel return home] Darling.
- [when the two kiss passionately, as Rachel holds a knife out and Louis screams]
- [Jud finishes the story of Timmy Baterman]
- Jud Crandall: Four or five days after Timmy's funeral...
- Jud Crandall: [in a flashback, narrating] That Margie Washburn seen Timmy walking up the road towards Yorkie's Livery. As time went by... lots of folks saw Timmy walking back and forth.
- Jud Crandall: But it was Margie who finally came to some of us men folks and said it had to be stopped. She knew it was an abomination.
- Ellie: Daddy, what if Church dies? What if he dies and has to go to the pet cemetery?
- Louis Creed: Honey, Church will be fine.
- Ellie: No, he won't. Not in the end. In the end he's gonna croak, isn't he?
- Louis Creed: Lovey, Church might still be alive when you're in high school, and that's a very long time.
- Ellie: It doesn't seem long to me. It seems short.
- Louis Creed: Well, if it was up to me, I'd let Church live up to be 100, but I don't make up the rules.
- [the Creed family agree to pay for Church to get groomed]
- Ellie: Can cats have shampoos?
- Rachel: Yes, but you have to take them to someone who grooms animals though, and I think it's pretty expensive.
- Ellie: I don't care, I'll save my allowance to pay for it. Church smells bad.
- Louis Creed: I'll cough up the money, Ellen.
- Ellie: I hate that smell.
- Louis Creed: Yes. I hate it, too.
- [Jud pleads with Louis to not bury his son in the Micmac burial ground]
- Jud Crandall: [narrating] Louis, sometimes dead is better. The Indians knew that. They stopped using that burial ground when the ground went sour. Don't think about doing it, Louis. The place gets holier, but the place... is evil.
- Rachel: [narrating] My sister died in the back bedroom, and that's what she was... a dirty secret. I had to... I had to feed her sometimes. I hated it, but I did it. We wanted her to die. We wished... for her to be dead. It wasn't just so she wouldn't feel any more pain. It was so we wouldn't feel any more pain. It was because she started to look like this monster. Even now, I wake up and think... Is Zelda dead yet? Is she?
- [Louis hears the reanimated Gage in Jud's house]
- Gage: Scared you, didn't I?
- Louis Creed: Gage?
- Gage: Hi, daddy. now I want you play with you.
- Louis Creed: [Gage wickedly laughs] All right, Gage.
- Louis Creed: [Louis pulls out his syringe] Let's play.
- [Gage laughs]
- [Louis warns his wife about if Church's operation goes wrong]
- Louis Creed: If anything does happen while he's under the gas, and that's a 1 in a 1,000 shot, but it does happen, you explain it to her.
- Gage: [Gage throws food at Church's box] Church!
- [Missy sees Louis loading up to take Church for his operation]
- Missy Dandridge: Going to get his...
- Louis Creed: Nuts cut, yes. Thank you, Missy, for introducing that colorful phrase into my daughter's vocabulary.
- Missy Dandridge: Don't mention it.
- [Louis sees Victor for the first time as a ghost]
- Victor Pascow: Come on, doc. We've got places to go.
- Victor Pascow: [Victor vanishes before reappearing next to him] Come on, doc. Don't make me tell you twice.
- [Victor smiles]
- Louis Creed: Hey, why are you here?
- Victor Pascow: I want to help you because, Louis? Because you tried to help me.
- [Victor's ghost touches Louis]
- Louis Creed: I don't like this dream.
- Victor Pascow: Who said you were dreaming?
- [Victor's ghost speaks to Louis on the ground]
- Victor Pascow: The barrier was not meant to be crossed.
- Louis Creed: [Louis cries] It's not my fault that you died. You were as good as dead when they brought you in.
- Victor Pascow: The ground beyond... is sour.
- [Jud tells Louis to keep the Indian burial ground a secret]
- Jud Crandall: When you talk to them... not one word about what we done tonight.
- Louis Creed: What did we do tonight, Jud?
- Jud Crandall: What we did, Louis, was a... secret thing. Women are supposed to be the ones who are good at keeping secrets, but any woman who knows anything at all will tell you she's never seen into a man's heart. The soil of a man's heart, Louis, is stonier, like the soil up there in the old Micmac burial ground.
- [Rachel thanks the truck driver for the ride to her home]
- Rachel: Thank you so much.
- Victor Pascow: [Victor's ghost replies before smiling] Think nothing of it.
- Orinco Driver: Well, I didn't get a ticket, lady, so you're welcome. Whatever your problems are, I hope they work out.
- Victor Pascow: It's the end of the line for me, too. I'm not allowed any further.
- Rachel: I'm sure things will be fine.
- Victor Pascow: [Victor smiles] I'm not.
- Rachel: [Louis is lying on the bed, reading a book as Rachel enters the bedroom] I heard you and Ellie, tonight.
- Louis Creed: I figured you might have. I know you don't approve of the subject.
- Rachel: I just get... scared. And you know me...
- [She sits down on the bed]
- Rachel: ... When I get scared, I get defensive.
- Louis Creed: [He puts his book down, and sits up, facing Rachel] Scared of what? Dying?
- Rachel: [Hesitant at first] My sister, Zelda...
- Louis Creed: I know, she died. Spinal Meningitis.
- Rachel: She was in the back bedroom like a dirty secret.
- [the scene cuts to a flashback of a young Rachel entering Zelda's bedroom with Zelda's dinner, as Rachel's voice over continues]
- Rachel: My sister died in the back bedroom and that's what she was: a dirty secret. I had to feed her sometimes. I hated it, but I did it.
- [the scene shows a young Rachel feeding Zelda, with the young Rachel looking grossed out, with Zelda beginning to cough]
- Rachel: We wanted to her dead. We wished for her to be dead. It wasn't so that she wouldn't feel anymore pain. It was so that we wouldn't feel any more pain. It was because she was starting to look like this monster.
- [Cuts back to the present day, with Rachel continuing her story]
- Rachel: Even now, I wake up and think, "Is Zelda dead, yet? Is she?"
- [the scene cuts back to the flackback with a young Rachel standing on the staircase]
- Rachel: My parents were gone when she died.
- Zelda: [In flashback] Rachel.
- [Zelda laughs]
- Rachel: [Flashback shows Zelda choking, with a young Rachel trying to assist] She started to... she started to convulse. And I thought... I thought, "Oh, my God. She's choking. Zelda's choking. And they'll come home and they'll say, 'You hated her, Rachel'", and that was true. They'll say, "You wanted her to be dead", and that was true, too. Then, she died. And I started to scream, I ran out of the house screaming, "Zelda's dead! Zelda's dead! Zelda's dead!" And the neighbors, they came out and they looked.
- [the scene shows a young Rachel running down the stairs crying, with her neighbors standing in the front door, looking up at her, strangely, as she runs out of the house, where the scene cuts back to present day]
- Rachel: And they thought I was crying. But you know something? I think maybe... I was laughing.
- Louis Creed: [Louis embraces her in a hug, as she cries] If you were, I salute you for it. And if I ever needed another reason to not like your Mother and Father, I have one now. You should've never been left alone with her, Rachel, never. Where was a nurse? They actually went out and left an 8-year-old kid in charge of her dying sister, who was probably clinically insane by then.
- [He gets up]
- Rachel: Where you going?
- Louis Creed: To get you a valium.
- Rachel: But you know I don't take-...
- Louis Creed: - -Tonight, you do.
- Jud Crandall: [sits on his porch looking at the Creed house] You've done it, you stupid old man. Now, you've got to undo it.
- Jud Crandall: You've done it, you stupid old man. Now, you've got to undo it.
- [Louis answers the phone to talk to the reanimated Gage]
- Gage: I'm at Jud's daddy. Will you come over and play with me? First I play with Jud. Then mommy came, and I played with mommy. We play, daddy? We had an awful good time Now, I want to play with you.
- Louis Creed: [Gage laughs wickedly] What did you do?
- Gage: [Louis screams] What did you do!
- Jud Crandall: [tells Louis why the pet cemetery was created] It's that damn road! It uses up lots of animals. Cats and dogs mostly.
- [first lines]
- Broken Hearted Child 1: [the voices of broken hearted children burying their pets at the Pet Sematary, voice-over] Bye, old Shep. See you in heaven. Yeah?
- Broken Hearted Child 2: [voice over] This is where my kitty lays. No more he screams and hollers.
- Broken Hearted Child 3: [voice-over] He lived for 5 and 20 days. He cost me $50.
- Young Jud: [voice-over] Spot - A good fella. We love you.
- Louis Creed: My little girl's got a cat. Winston Churchill. We call him Church for short.
- Jud Crandall: I'd get him fixed if I were you. Fixed cat don't tend to wander.
- Missy Dandridge: Always thought it would be lucky to marry a doctor. Wish I had a doctor around with my stomach pain so bad. Guess I'll never be lucky. Hell, I ain't married to anyone.
