Quotes
-
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.
-
[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.

[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.

Rachel : Honey, you just had a bad dream, that's all. You know that, don't you?
Ellie : It wasn't a dream. It was Pax-cow. Pax-cow says daddy is going to do something really bad!
Rachel : Who is this Paxcow? Is he like the Bogeyman?
Ellie : He's a ghost. He's a good ghost. He says he's sent to warn us!
-
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.
-
Louis Creed : Church will be just the same. Well, almost the same, and we won't have to worry about him getting run over in the road by trucks. Church will be all right, honey.
Ellie : You promise, daddy?
Rachel : Don't shilly-shally, Louis, give the little girl a promise.
Louis Creed : Church will be fine. I promise.
Ellie : Yay!

[Louis talks to Ellie on the phone]
Louis Creed : Hi, baby. How's everything in Chicagoland?
Ellie : Grandma and grandpa gave me all sorts of neat things. How's Church, daddy? Does he miss me?
Louis Creed : Well... I guess he's just fine, Ellie. I haven't seen him this evening, but, ah...
Ellie : Well, make sure you put him down in the cellar before you go to bed so he won't run out in the road. And, kiss him good night for me.
Louis Creed : [Louis smiles] Yuck. Kiss your own cat.

[Louis talks to Gage on the phone]
Ellie : Want to talk to Gage?
Louis Creed : Yeah.
Gage : Hi, daddy. I love you.
Gage : [Louis remains silent] Hi, daddy. I love you.
[Louis remains silent]
-
Ellie : Daddy, is Church alright?
Louis Creed : Yes. I guess so. He was asleep on the porch when I left.
Ellie : Cause I had a dream about him. I had a dream he got hit by a car and you and Mr. Crandall buried him in the Pet Sematary.
Louis Creed : That was a silly dream, wasn't it?
-
Ellie : [Gage loses the handle on the kite he's flying] It got away from him, that dumb shit!
-
[Jud sees a picture Ellie carries with her of Gage]
Jud Crandall : Oh. Ain't that real nice. You pulling him in the wagon. I bet he liked that, didn't he?
Ellie : I'm going to carry this picture Mr. Crandall until God lets Gage comes back.
Jud Crandall : Ellie... God doesn't do things like that.
Ellie : He can if he wants to. I have to keep his things waiting for him. That's what I think.
-
[Ellie talks to her dad while mourning for Gage]
Ellie : Daddy? God could take it back if he wanted to, couldn't he? If he really, really wanted to. Can I have faith in that?
Louis Creed : Yes. I suppose you can.
-
Ellie : [cries for her cat Church not to die] He's not God's cat. He's my cat. Let God get his own if he wants one. Not mine. Not mine.
-
Ellie : I don't want Church to get his nuts cut, daddy.
Louis Creed : [chuckles] Good God, where did you hear that?
