Now we're getting

out of here alive,

and to do that we need

to work together.

How?

I have a plan.

We reached the stairs.

Oh, God, we reached the stairs!

Eddie! Eddie! Help! Eddie!

Eddie, help!

Jesus Christ, we get it already.

You need help!

Take a number, get in line.

And shut the f*** up,

would you, please!

Eddie!

Eddie, help!

Eddie!

Goth chicks kick ass.

Eddie, help!

- The gun.

- Isn't that...

Mr. Yeardley the

guidance counselor?

It's almost empty.

Not good.

Definitely not good.

- What now?

- We run!

Run away!

Which way!

The gym. We can get to

the roof from there.

It's locked!

I got this.

I got it!

Eddie, come on!

Go. Go, get to the roof.

I'm gonna hold them.

And Willow, about

before with Janet...

You're right.

I'm an idiot.

I know what I want now.

Good. Because you

still owe me a date.

It's time for this paladin

to cast a 21st level spell

of zombie whoop-ass.

I am a man, I am a man,

I am a man, I am a man

'Cause you said I am

cut me out of the family photo

Who would have thought

of sinking so low?

Where's Eddie?

Holding off the horde.

OK.

But he missed a few.

Cut me out of the family photo

Who would have thought

of sinking so low?

It's impossible

but maybe it's possible

to be impossible

I am a man, I am a man, I am a man

I am a man 'cause you said I am

I am a man, I am a man, I am a man

I am a man 'cause you said I am

Yeah

No.

Janet, hold still.

Come on!

Willow! Janet!

Suck a duck.

This sucks.

Yeah.

I'm gonna die.

I don't wanna be a zombie.

This so sucks.

Don't leave.

One bullet left.

I don't want to die like this.

Morning has broken

like the first morning

Eddie!

- OK, we have a problem.

- What?

Zombies don't jump. They climb.

Brad!

Brad!

So I guess we'll

never get that date.

No. It sucks.

I was totally gonna

take you to applebees.

I was thinking about you,

I can't live without you

The sweet look in your

eyes that goes to...

Attention, attention.

The zombie threat

has been contained.

All survivors make your

way to the front lawn.

Go! Go! Go!

I want to get a perimeter.

Set it up. Move it,

move it, move it!

The zombie threat

has been contained.

The zombie threat has

been eliminated.

All survivors make your

way to the front lawn.

So applebees, huh?

Bet your ass. I got a gift card.

Wow, you really know

how to spoil a girl.

Yeah. But only the right girl.

When I was pacing around

the streets where we both drive

To forget the world

striking sparks in my heart

when we first met

the time has all gone by, I'm well

I've made every second

that you pass through me

Well, I'm finding out

these memories are so good

And I'm waiting patiently

Attention, all shoppers.

Attention, all shoppers.

If it's the end of the world

I want to live inside

a shopping mall

I wouldn't care

about the isolation

I'm unconcerned about

the walking dead

If it's the end of the world

I think I'd handle

myself quite well

I wouldn't panic

walking past the zombie

I'd try to catch up on

some reading and movies

I know all I need to know

I know all I need to do

I learned everything

from George Romero

Dario Argento, maybe Tom Savini

Stuart Gordon and Sam Raimi

did they plant the idea

or was it always in me

do you find me creepy

yeah, do I give you the creeps

It's the end of the world

we could gather

half a dozen friends

We'd live in hiding

over JC Penney's

Construct a wall to

keep the mutants out

When it's the end of the world?

We'd land a helicopter

on the rooftop

Somebody breaks in

through a boarded entrance

maybe we can make a run for it

I know all I need to know

I learned everything

from George Romero

Dario Argento, maybe Tom Savini

Stuart Gordon and Sam Raimi

did they plant the idea

or was it always in me

do you find me creepy

now it's the end of the world

I always thought I

would've been more careful

Didn't look to be a serious bite?

Will you wait here till

I come back to life?

I learned everything

from George Romero

Dario Argento, maybe Tom Savini

Stuart Gordon and Sam Raimi

did they plant the ideas

or was it always in me

do you find me creepy

my post-apocalyptic

zombie survival fantasy

You know what I'm thinking?

Maybe we got a good

thing going here.

Maybe we shouldn't be in

such a hurry to leave.
