Little Rock is the capital and the largest city of the U.S. state of Arkansas. The Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) had a population of 709,901 people in the 2011 census. The MSA is in turn included in the Little Rock–North Little Rock–Pine Bluff, Arkansas Combined Statistical Area, which had a population of 886,992 in the 2011 census, making it the 47th largest combined statistical area in America. As of the 2010 US Census, Little Rock had a population of 193,524, making it the 118th largest city in America. It is the county seat of Pulaski County.
Located near the geographic center of Arkansas, Little Rock derives its name from a small rock formation on the south bank of the Arkansas River called la Petite Roche (French: "the little rock"). The "little rock" was used by early river traffic as a landmark and became a well-known river crossing. The "little rock" is across the river from "big rock", a large bluff at the edge of the river, which was once used as a rock quarry.
There have been two ships of the United States Navy named after the city, including USS Little Rock (LCS-9).
A new dead is dawning.
Tallahassee: Oh, I am this close to losing every last bit of my shit.
Tallahassee: We are cursed! We... are... cursed! We're cursed! It's like we picked up Bobby Brady's ass-reaming Tiki and it's just tipping us over, and just ramming us in the...::[to Little Rock]::Tallahassee: Please don't ask me who Bobby Brady is, or I'll lose my shit more than I lost it a second ago, okay?

Plot
Searching for family. In the early twenty-first century, zombies have taken over America. A shy and inexperienced college student in Texas has survived by following his 30 rules: such as "look in the back seat," "double-tap," "avoid public restrooms." He decides to travel to Ohio to see if his parents are alive. He gets a ride with a boisterous zombie-hating good-old boy headed for Florida, and soon they confront a young woman whose sister has been bitten by a zombie and wants to be put out of her misery. The sisters were headed to an LA amusement park they've heard is zombie free. Can the kid from Ohio get to his family? And what about rule thirty one?

[from trailer]::Wichita: Let's play the quiet game.::Columbus: I've actually been meaning to ask you, have you been to Columbus, because I've been trying to...::Wichita: Have you never played the quiet game?
[from trailer]::Tallahassee: Time to nut up or shut up!
Columbus: [after his neighbor changes into a zombie] You see? You just can't trust anyone. The first girl I let into my life and she tries to eat me.
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.
Columbus: Fuck this clown.
Columbus: The first rule of Zombieland: Cardio. When the zombie outbreak first hit, the first to go, for obvious reasons... were the fatties.
Columbus: I could tell she knew what I was feeling, we all are orphans in Zombieland.
Columbus: [to Tallahassee] You are like a giant cock-blocking robot, like, developed in a secret fucking government lab.
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.
Tallahassee: [Columbus kisses Wichita] Finally got to first base. Not bad for that scrawny little spit-fuck.
Well I'm married to the good life
I said I'd be a good wife
When I put on this ring
I drive a new Mercedes
I play tennis with the ladies
I buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothing
When you can't get a good night's loving
Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock
Well I wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't even kiss me
When he comes home at night
He never calls me honey
But he sure loves his money
And I'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me
Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock
Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
Verse 1:
Wake up in the morning long and lean
Stoppin' at the corner cigarettes and gasoline
Pullin' down Main Street shiftin' through gears
Rollin' up that highway they been working on for years
One eye on the sunrise, one eye on the clock
Come tomorrow morning I'm gonna make it back to Little Rock
I searched through L.A. County the valleys and the stars
Del Rio to the bayou all them honky-tonks and bars
I felt you in Seattle driving through the rain
Dan through New York City just a callin' out your name
After all these years of searchin' I finally found my spot
One way or another, Lord, I'm gonna make it down to Little Rock
Chorus:
All my life I tried to find
A piece of this Earth for my peace of mind
All these years of searchin' let my troubles disappear
Maybe find a place where we can sit and drink a beer
Half a pack and seven hours put up on the shelf
Singing to the radio and talkin' to myself
Screamin' through the forest magic on my soul
Ninety miles an hour on the cruise control
Blowin' by the truckers, the grandmas and the cops
"What's your hurry son?" well it's just that I'm on my way to Little Rock
Baby get ready trouble's on it's way
Only thinkin' 'bout you every night and every day
Tell all your other lovers forget about the past
Ain't even gonna worry 'cus this time it's gonna last
I'm comin' round the corner, ain't even gonna knock
Hey pretty baby, here comes your daddy down to Little Rock
Spoken over outro:
(Yeah, Little Rock! I'm goin' to Little Rock
I may be the only one, but I'm goin'
I know I've disappeared a time or two
And along the way I lost me and you
I needed a new town for my new start
I'm sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart
I haven't had a drink in 19 days
My eyes are clear and bright with-out that haze
I like the preacher from the Church of Christ
I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night
Chorus:
I think I'm on a roll
Here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone
Wait and see
I got just one small problem
Here in Little Rock
Without you
Baby I'm not me
I don't know why I held it all inside
You must've thought I never even tried
You know your daddy told me when I left
Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget
Chorus
Lyin' here upon this motel bed
Thoughts of you explode within my head
Like a castle built upon the sand
I let love crumble in my hand
Whoa...
Chorus
Without you
Baby I'm not me
I think I'm on a roll
