WICHITA:

(whispers to Columbus)

Who’s telling him it’s mid June? *

COLUMBUS (V.O.) *

Why ruin the moment? It’s not *

often you get quality time with the

family. And by ‘family,’ I mean 4

people who could not be more

different, thrown together by

circumstances that could not be

more difficult. I’m Columbus. Not

my real name. In Zombieland, we go

by the cities we’re from. It was *

Tallahassee’s idea. Keeps us from *

getting too attached. *

The camera moves down the faces of our ‘family,’ ENJOYING the

DISPLAY, a slice of life as it once was. BOOM! BOOM!

COLUMBUS (V.O.)

Might’ve worked too well with *

Wichita. I mean, I love her, but *

she’s put up more walls than a *

North Korean chain gang. *

(MORE)

7.

COLUMBUS (V.O.) (CONT'D)

That’s her kid-sister Little Rock -*

after all she’s seen, tough to call *

her a ‘kid.’ And finally, the *

Floridian himself - a zombie-*

killing, us-annoying legend. *

TALLAHASSEE *

Ssh. This could be the big finale. *

An awe-inspiring FINISH. The dust settles. Tallahassee

APPLAUDS by his lonesome, his claps ECHOING.

TALLAHASSEE:

Perfect.

LITTLE ROCK:

I dunno. It was missing something.

TALLAHASSEE:

It’s George Washington’s birthday!

Our teeth are red-white-and-blue *

from eating Bullet Pops! I just

blew up an entire fireworks

factory! What could possibly be

missing?

COLUMBUS:

(to Wichita, sotto voce)

Are we letting the ‘George

Washington’s birthday’ thing go?

WICHITA:

(to Columbus, sotto voce)

Maybe he was born on June 17th.

TALLAHASSEE:

Answer me! What was missing?!

LITTLE ROCK:

Can’t you hear?

Tallahassee strains to hear. He’s rewarded with NOTHING but *

VAST, ENCOMPASSING SILENCE. Columbus abruptly REALIZES:

COLUMBUS (V.O.)

All of a sudden, I knew. It wasn’t

what we could hear. It was what we

couldn’t.

Everyone gazes out over an empty STREET. An empty CITY.

8.

COLUMBUS (V.O.)

The oohs and aahs of a crowd. The

laughter of friends. The chatter

of children...

COLUMBUS:

What good is fun? If there’s no

one to share it with.

LITTLE ROCK:

People.

EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT

WICHITA marches angrily up a CITY STREET, past some rotting

CORPSES, followed by COLUMBUS, TALLAHASSEE, and LITTLE ROCK.

COLUMBUS:

I’m just saying, she’s right.

We’ve been wandering around, just

the 4 of us, for what, a month? We

need to think about our future.

Humanity’s future. And there is no *

future without people. *

WICHITA:

Yeah, well, we’ve got a saying.

(nudges Little Rock)

Tell him. Go on.

LITTLE ROCK:

(very reluctant)

People suck.

WICHITA:

People. Suck. What’s so great

about people? They’re responsible

for everything bad that’s ever

happened to anyone.
