Misconceptions About Safe Havens in Zombieland
Columbus
You know there's a place untouched by all this crap?
Tallahassee
Back east, yeah?
Columbus
Yeah. Yeah. You heard the same thing?
Tallahassee
Out west, we hear it's back east. Back east, they hear it's out west. It's all just nonsense. You know, you're like a penguin on the North Pole who hears the South Pole is really nice this time of the year.

Survival Rules in a Post-Apocalyptic World
Columbus
Oh, America. I wish I could tell you that this was still America, but I've come to realize that you can't have a country without people. And there are no people here. No, my friends. This is now the United States of Zombieland. It's amazing how quickly things can go from bad to total shitstorm. And why am I alive when everyone around me has turned to meat? It's because of my list of rules. Rule #1 for surviving Zombieland: Cardio. When the virus struck, for obvious reasons, the first ones to go were the fatties. Poor fat bastard. But as the infection spread and the chaos grew, it wasn't enough to just be fast on your feet. You had to get a gun, and learn how to use it. Which leads me to my second rule: The Double Tap. In those moments where you're not quite sure if the undead are really "dead", don't get all stingy with your bullets. I mean, one more clean shot to the head... ...and this lady could have avoided becoming a human Happy Meal. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. It wasn't long before the zombies began to get clever. When you're at your most vulnerable, somehow, they could just smell it.
[voiceover; the cameraman picks up the camera, and the White House is revealed to be destroyed; a zombie jumps up, attacks cameraman, and eats him; notices camera; zombie belches; the whole world is shown with local fires; overweight man gets taken down and eaten by a zombie; woman shoots zombie in chest, and the zombie falls over; zombie wakes up, and attacks]
Guy
Can't a guy take a dumper in peace?
[sees zombie, and screams; gets killed]
Columbus
Don't let them catch you with your pants down. Rule #3: Beware of Bathrooms. As zombies began to outnumber humans, well, that's when you had to cut all emotional ties. If the girls in your neighborhood are now fucked up little monsters, well, maybe it's time to stop driving carpool. You had to focus on your own survival. Which leads to rule #4. Pretty basic. Fasten your seatbelts. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
[voiceover; a woman frantically pulls out her keys, and starts car; zombie girls fall off and growl; truck horn blares, and woman looks up as her van is stopped, but she flies through her windshield; she hits the pavement, leaving a streak of blood]

Misunderstanding in a Zombie Encounter

Bill Murray, you're a zombie?
[shocked]
Bill Murray
Ow, I'm on fire! Ouch!
[cries in pain]
Tallahassee
You're not a zombie, you're talking and...You're okay?

[also surprised]
Tallahassee
Are you...? What's with the get-up?
Bill Murray
Oh, I do it to blend in. You know. Zombies don't mess with other zombies. Buddy of mine, makeup guy, he showed me how to do this. Corn starch. You know, some berries, a little licorice for the ladies. Suits my lifestyle, you know. I like to get out and do stuff. Just played nine holes on the Riviera. Just walked on. Nobody there.
Tallahassee
Goddamn it! Bill-Fucking-Murray! I had to get that out. I don't mean to gush. This is so surreal. I mean, you probably get this all the time. Maybe not lately, but I'm such a huge fan of yours. You know, I swear, I've seen every one of your movies a million times. I even loved your dramatic roles and just everything. Six people left in the world and one of them is Bill-Fucking-Murray. I know that's not your middle name. I've been watching you since I was like...Since I could masturbate. I mean, not that they're connected. I gratefully respect you.
