Movie quotes

  • (..) It ain't be any pretty than our friend here enjoying her man-which. Tallahassee had a sixth sense of humour when it came to zombies. Zombies aren't the most loveable creature but he really hated them. In fact the only thing he was more obsessed to than killing a zombie was finding a Twinkie. (..)
