Wichita: [playing Monopoly] Ooh! Free parking... Little Rock: Yeah. Wichita: —which coincidentally is the best thing about Zombieland. Columbus: You want to know the best thing about Z-land? No—no Facebook status updates. You know, Rob Curtis is gearing up for Friday. Who cares? Tallahassee: The…
There’s a box of Twinkies in that grocery store. Not just any box of Twinkies—the last box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Some day very soon, life’s little Twinkie gauge is gonna go...empty.
Little Rock: No Twinkies. Tallahassee: Shit! fuck! Wichita: See, I told you we should have gone to Russell Crowe’s! No one listens to me.
Columbus: [Columbus sprays Tallahassee with perfume; Tallahassee turns around and glares at Columbus] Okay. Let me begin my three-part apology by saying that I think you’re a wonderful human, with great potential. Tallahassee: It’s okay...but FYI, I have beat wholesale ass for a whole lot less than…
Bill Murray: You are staring at me. It’s a hairpiece! It’s a piece. Wichita: It’s—I’m sorry. No, it’s just that you look remarkably like Eddie Van Halen. Bill Murray: I just saw Eddie Van Halen. Wichita: Nuh-uh. Tallahassee: Really? Bill Murray: Yeah. Wichita: Wow. Tallahassee: Where? Bill Murray:…
Little Rock: Have you heard about Pacific Playland? There are no zombies there. Columbus: The amusement park? Little Rock: Yep! Tallahassee: That place totally blows! [Little Rock and Wichita shoot Tallahassee angry looks] ...my mind. Just fun for the whole family.
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…
[Columbus kisses Wichita] Finally got to first base. Not bad for that scrawny little spit-fuck.
[Searching for Twinkies] Where are you, you spongy, yellow, delicious bastards?
Tallahassee: Bill Murray, you’re a zombie? [Wichita hits Bill in his back with a golf club] Bill Murray: [cries in pain] Ow, I’m on fire! Ouch! Tallahassee: You’re not a zombie, you’re talking and...you’re okay? Bill Murray: The hell I am. Wichita: I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was...it was ‘you’ you.…
[to Columbus] You’re thinking about fucking Wichita! [ignores Columbus’s taken-aback ‘no’ gesture] Hey, wish granted. She’s spent the last twenty-four hours fucking us both.
Columbus: Take away a man’s son, you’ve truly given him nothing left to lose. Tallahassee: I haven’t cried like that since Titanic.
Tallahassee: [discovers Hostess truck filled with Sno-Balls] Sno-Balls? Sno-Balls? Sno-Balls? Where’s the fucking Twinkies? Columbus: I love Sno-Balls. Tallahassee: I hate coconut. Not the taste, consistency. Columbus: [eats a Sno-Ball] Fresh. Tallahassee: Oh, this Twinkie thing, it ain’t over yet.
Time to nut up or shut up.
Tallahassee: Are you fucking with me? Columbus: Uh, no. You should actually limber up as well. Especially if we’re going down that hill. It is very important. Tallahassee: I don’t believe in it. You ever see a lion limber up before it takes down a gazelle?
Bill Murray: [dying] Is that how you say hello where you come from? Columbus: Oh, my God. Oh, my God, I can’t believe I shot Bill Murray. Tallahassee: Mr. Murray? Bill Murray: I’m just Bill, I think, now. Tallahassee: Bill? Bill Murray: Yeah? Tallahassee: [pokes at Bill’s wound] I don’t think we’re…
Tallahassee: [referring to Wichita and Little Rock, who previously hijacked them] They’re in the back, aren’t they? Little Rock: [pops up holding shotgun] Just me. Columbus: I’m really sorry. She was like a crouching tiger... Tallahassee: You got taken hostage by a 12-year-old? Columbus: Well, girls…
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…
Tallahassee: I’m not great at farewells, so, uh, that’ll do, pig. Columbus: That’s the worst goodbye I’ve ever heard, and you stole it from a movie.
