"I think you're gonna be as happy as a clam here, Ellen Creed." "Are clams really happy?" "Mr. Crandall, there's a path over there." "Do you know where it goes?" "(Jud) Oh." "Yeah, that's a good story, and a good walk." "I'll take you up there sometime, tell you the story too." " After you get settled in." " Great." "Excuse me, I've got to change him."

"Need a glass?" " No." " Good for you." "Jesus..." "Yeah." "That's one mean road, all right." "You know that path your wife commented on?" "That road and those Orinco trucks are the two main reasons it's there." " Where does it lead?" " Pet cemetery." " Pet cemetery?" " It's that damn road." "It uses up a lot of animals." "Dogs and cats, mostly." "My little girl's got a cat, Winston Churchill." "We call him Church for short." "I'd get him fixed if I were you." "A fixed cat don't tend to wander." "If it's all the time crossing back and forth, its luck will run out." "I'll take it under advisement." "Meantime, Doc, here's to your bones." "And your bones." " Uh-oh." " Uh-oh!" " I'll be going now, Dr. Creed." " All right, Missy." " Hi, Missy." " I'll bring these back next time." "Great." "Can you come on Monday, Missy?" "Uh-huh."

"It's misspelled but that's what it says." "Ellie, wait a minute!" "(Jud) I told you it's a bad road." "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." "How can you call it a good thing?" "A graveyard for pets killed in the road." "Built by broken-hearted children." "They have to learn about death somehow." "Why?" "Can I have the baby?" "Daddy, look!" "This one's a goldfishy." "That's right, Ellie." "They wasn't all killed by the road." "Especially the ones from when I was a child." "They get older as you go towards the middle." "Harder to read." "Missy Ellen, come over here a minute." "That's where I buried my dog Spot when he died of old age in 1924." "Ellie..." "Do you know what a graveyard really is?" "Well..." "I guess not." "It's a place where the dead speak." " (Gasps)" " 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." "Can you remember that?" "Yes, sir." "Shh." " Hi, babe." " Daddy, what if Church dies?" "What if he dies and has to go to the pet cemetery?" "Honey, Church will be fine." "No, he won't." "Not in the end." "In the end, he's gonna croak, isn't he?" "Sit down here." "He might still be alive when you're in high school." "That's a long time." "It doesn't seem long to me." "It seems short." "If it was up to me, I'd let Church live to be a hundred" " but I don't make up the rules." " Who does?" "God, I suppose." "But he's not God's cat, he's my cat."

"I'm scared and I want to go home." "You'll be all right, Ellie." "I don't want Church to get his nuts cut, Daddy." "Good God, where did you hear that?" "Missy Dandridge." "She says it's an operation." "That road is a lot more dangerous than any operation." "Church will be just the same." "Well, almost the same." "And we won't have to worry about him getting run over by trucks." " Church will be all right." " Do you promise?" "Don't shilly-shally, Louis." "Give the little girl a promise." "Church will be fine." "I promise." "(Ellie) Yeah!" " Thank you." " You're very welcome." "If anything happens while he's under the gas, it's unlikely, but if it does happen, you explain it to her." " (Church hisses)" " Church!" "Gotta go." " Going to get his..." " Nuts cut, yes." "Thank you for introducing that colorful phrase into my daughter's vocabulary." "Don't mention it." " How's that bellyache of yours?" " No better, no worse." " I can take a look at that for you." " It'll pass." "They always do." " Missy." " Ma'am." "Still friends, Doc?" "(Gage) I kissed you!"

"I'll be around plenty when you get back." "(Phone)" "Hello?" "(Jud) 'Louis?" "You may have a spot of trouble here.'" "Jud." "What trouble?" "'There's a dead cat on the edge of my lawn." "'I think it might be your daughter's.'" "Yeah." "That's Church, all right." "I'm sorry." "At least it don't look like he suffered." "Ellie will suffer, she'll suffer plenty." "Here, give me that." "What are you going to do with it?" "Put him in the garage." "I'll bury him in the morning." "Are you going to tell Ellie?" "I have to mull that over for a while." "Maybe I'll just tell her I haven't seen the damned cat around." "I don't want to spoil her holiday." "And Rachel's." "Maybe there's a better way." "So do we plant him outside the circle, or do we start a new one?" "The place we're going... is on the other side of that." "We can't climb over that." "We'll break our necks." "No, we won't." "I've climbed it a time or two before." "I know all the places to step." "Just follow me." "Move easy." "Don't look down." "And don't stop." "If you stop, you'll crash through for sure." "Just don't stop and..." "And don't look down." "Right." " Louis!" "Are you all right?" " Yeah." "I guess I lost my happy thoughts there for a second." "Oh, yeah." "Ooh!" "(Jud) Not much farther now." "(Bird twittering, distant)" "(Screeching and crashing)" "Jud!" "What's that?" "Shh!" "(Rumbling)" "(Eerie screeching)" "Just a loon." "(Louis) Here we go." "(Jud) Won't be much longer now." "(Jud) Just down here a little ways." " Almost there, Louis." " You keep saying that." "This time I mean it." "What is this place?" "(Jud, echoing) This was their burial ground." "(Louis) Whose burial ground?" "(Jud) Micmac Indians." "I brought you here to bury Ellen's cat." "(Louis) Why, for God's sake?" " I said why, Jud?" " I had my reasons." "The soil's thin." "But you'll manage." "I'm gonna sit over yonder and have a smoke." "I'd help you but you gotta do it yourself." "Each buries his own." "Whoa!" "(Louis panting)" "(Owl hooting)" "(Phone)" "(Ringing continues)" "(Jud) Louis..." " Louis!" " Yeah?" "When you talk to 'em... not one word about what we done tonight." "What did we do tonight, Jud?" "What we did, Louis, was a secret thing." "Women are supposed to be the ones who are good at keeping secrets." "But any woman 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." " (Woman) 'Goldman residence.'" " Hi, Dory." "It's Louis." " 'Wanna talk to your daughter?" "'" " Yeah, that'd be real fine." " Hi, Daddy!" " Hi, baby." "How's everything in Chicagoland?" "Grandma and Grandpa gave me lots of neat things." "How's Church?" "'Does he miss me?" "'" "Well..." "I-I guess he's just fine, Ellie." "I haven't seen him this evening." "Make sure you put him in the cellar before you go to bed so he won't run out in the road." "And kiss him good night for me." "Yuck!" "Kiss your own cat." "Wanna talk to Gage?" "Yeah." "Hi, Daddy." "I love you." "'Hi, Daddy." "I love you.'" "(Snarls)" "Jesus!" "Church..." "(Taps bowl)" "Food, Church." "Food." "Come on, Church." "Chow down." "Come on, Church." "Christ..." "I don't believe this." " (Meows)" " Oh, you stink, Church." "Hold on a second..." "God, he chewed his way out." "Jesus, boy..." "Christ!" "Damn it!" "I tried to tell myself that I buried him alive." "I'm not a vet." " It was dark." " Sure it was dark." "But his head swiveled on his neck like it was full of ball bearings." "When you moved him, he pulled out of the frost." "Sounded like a piece of ticky tape coming off a letter." "Live things don't do that." "You only stop melting the frost under where you're laying when you're dead." "Well, I feel like I'm going crazy." "It was the ragman that told me about the place." "He was half Micmac himself." "He knew how I felt about my dog Spot." "Spot had got caught in barbed wire." "Got infected." "When he died, I thought I was going to die." "The ragman did for me what I did for you last night." "Only I wasn't alone when Spot came back." "My mother was with me." "'You could still see the barbed wire marks on him.'" "(Growling)" "Jud, come and get your dog!" "He stinks of the ground you buried him in!" " Jud!" " (Barking and snarling)" "'Spot came back, all right." "'He was never quite the same dog that I knew.'" "Spot?" "'When he died in the night that second time," "'I buried him in the pet cemetery, 'where, as you saw, his bones still lie.'" "A man doesn't always know why he does things, Louis." "I think I did it because Ellie ain't ready for her favorite pet to die." "With more time she'll learn what death really is, which is where the pain stops and the good memories begin." "Has anyone ever buried a person up there?" "Christ on His throne, no!" "And who ever would?" "Aagh!" "(Growling)" "No!" "Ch..." "How the hell did you get in here?" "(Hisses)" "Out!" "Argh!" "Out!" "(Rachel) Say bye-bye, Ellie." "Watch your step now." " Daddy!" " Hi, sugar!" "Come here." "Hi, Daddy." "Daddy, is Church all right?" "Yes, I guess so." "He was asleep on the porch when I left." "I had a dream about him." "I dreamed he got hit by a car and you and Mr. Crandall buried him in the pet cemetery." " That was a silly dream, wasn't it?" " Is he really all right?" "Yes." " Hi, honey." " You want to take your son, Doc?" " Oh..." " Hey." "(Meows)" "Phew!" "You smell bad." "Can cats have shampoos?" "You have to take them to someone who grooms animals, it's expensive." "(Ellie) I don't care." "I'll save up my allowance and pay for it." "Church smells bad." "I'll cough up the money." "I hate that smell." "Yes." "I hate it, too." "(Rachel and Gage chattering, indistinct)" "(Choking)" "And now, may the Lord bless you and keep you." "May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and comfort you, and lift you up, and give you peace." "Amen." " Rachel not feeling well?" " Just a touch of the flu." "She's in bed." "She's been throwing up ever since Missy Dandridge..." "That's enough, Ellie." "Hop in." "Poor Missy." "I don't know why God takes someone like her, who should still have a bunch of years in front of her, and lets an old fart like me go on and on." "My father used to have a saying, Jud." "God sees the truth... but waits." "Yeah?" " How's your cat, Louis?" " It's Ellie's cat." "No." "It's your cat now." "(TV) 'Possibly more white-sided dolphins have beached themselves 'along the Maine coast and scientists don't know why.'" " What's up, sugar?" " Do you think Missy went to heaven?" "Do you wanna talk about it?" " Is Missy in heaven, do you think?" " I don't know, honey." "Different people believe all sorts of different things." "Some believe in heaven or hell." "Some think we come back as children." "And some think we just wink out." "Like a candle flame in the wind." "Do you believe that?" "(Low growl)" "No." "I think we go on." " Yeah, I have faith in that." " You believe in it." "Give me a kiss." "(Louis) Come here." "What do you wanna watch?" "I heard you and Ellie tonight." "I thought you might have." "I know you don't approve of the subject." "I just get scared." "And you know me..." "When I get scared, I get defensive." "Scared of what?" "Dying?" " My sister, Zelda..." " I know." "She died." "Spinal meningitis." "She was in the back bedroom, like a dirty secret." "'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." "'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."

"I was laughing." "If you were, I salute you for it." "If I needed another reason to dislike your parents, I have one now." "You should never have been left alone with her." "Where was her nurse?"
