Irwin, I can't talk to you right now. (PHONE RINGING) Irwin, I told you I can't talk to you right now.

The Nature of Death and Resurrection
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.
