The Tropes of Zombieland: An Excuse to Picspam Tallahassee's Smokin' Hot, Banjo Toting Badassery
Spoilers for the 2009 film Zombieland. Image Heavy.







Men of five, still alive through the raging glow / Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls / Time marches on / For whom the bell tolls
--metallica for whom the bell tolls



I may seem like an unlikely survivor with all my phobias and irritable bowel syndrome, but I have the advantage of never having any friends or any close family. I survive because I play it safe and follow the rules. My rules.
--columbus



Even though teaming up wasn't my style, I figured I'd be safer with Tallahassee. You see, he was in the ass kicking business and-
--columbus

Business is good.
--Tallahassee



Here's the deal, Columbus. I'm not easy to get along with, and I'm sensing you're a bit of a bitch, so I give this relationship to about Texarkana.
--tallahassee

Really?! Yeah! You'll take me as far as Texarkana?
--columbus

You're a peppy little spitfuck, aren't you?
--tallahassee

You might wanna buckle up, you know, for safety.
--columbus

I can tell already, you are gonna get on my nerves.
--tallahassee



When you're afraid of everything that's out there, you quit going out there, which is what happened to me before Zombieland. Friday night; third straight week indoors; World of Warcraft; leaning tower of pizza boxes; Code Red Mountain Dew. Pride: nowhere. Dignity: long gone. Virginity: totally justifiable to speculate on.--columbus



Even before Zombieland, Wichita was running the table on guys like us.
--columbus



When Tallahassee goes Hulk on a zombie, he sets the standard for Not To Be Fucked With. No fear, nothing to lose. What can I say? It's like... It's like art.
--columbus



You need some help?
--tallahassee

Now that you mention it... we'll take your
weapons, your car keys, your ammunition.
--wichita

And if you've got it, sugarless gum.
--little rock

What the fuck?
--tallahassee

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Why are you guys
doing this?
--columbus

Well better you make the mistake of trusting
us than we make the mistake of trusting you.
--wichita

Of course, the first hot girl in a thousand miles shows
up, makes me feel like an idiot, steals my double barrel, and then says
I'm the one that can't be trusted.
--columbus (voice-over)



GODDAMN, IT'S BILL FUCKIN' 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, well, maybe not lately, but I'm such a huge fan of yours. I mean, I swear- You know, I've seen every one of your movies a million times. I even love your dramatic roles, just- everything. Six people left in the world, 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.
--tallahassee



And the worst thing about Z-Land?
--wichita

You mean, other than the fact that I shot Bill Murray?
--columbus

That's easy, losing Buck.
--tallahassee

That's his puppy.
--columbus

I'll tell ya, I never thought I could love anything like
Buck. Just- The day he was born I just lost my mind.
--tallahassee

I'm sorry.
--wichita

We were two peas. He had my personality, my laugh, my appetite.
--tallahassee

Laugh? And that's when it hit me. I felt so ashamed that it had taken
me this long. Me, with the best cadio in the business, to realize I wasn't
the only one running from something.
--columbus (voice-over)
Take away a man's son, you've truely given him nothing left to lose.
--columbus (voice-over)



A hint? Why don't you exhale slowly, then squeeze the trigger.
--tallahassee



You are like a giant cockblocking robot developed in a secret fucking government lab.
--columbus

Hey.
--tallahassee



Oh my god. Look at this fucking clown. Of course. It had to be a clown. No, it had to be a clown and it had to be Wichita for me to finally understand that some rules are made to be broken.
--columbus



Time to nut up or shut up.
--tallahassee

[my favorite part.]

I tried to go for a sort of washed out coloring to fit the apocalyptic~ theme of the movie, but I'm not so sure I managed to get that across. Zombieland caps make me dumb.
