A line from Jud Crandall

The soil of a man's heart is stonier, Louis. A man grows what he can, and he tends it. 'Cause what you buy, is what you own. And what you own... always comes home to you.

3 scenes

Has anyone ever buried a person up there?

Jud

Christ on His Throne, NO! Whoever would!?

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.

Jud

Hello?

Hello, Jud. It's Rachel Creed. I'm calling from Chicago.

Jud

Chicago? Is Louis with you?

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.

Don't bother, Jud. I'm coming home.

Jud

Rachel, no. You don't want to do that.

I have to do it, Jud. Good-bye. [dial tone]

Jud

Rachel! Rachel!
