- “It’s just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV.

- It’s a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what. The weird thing about telling someone they’re dying is it tends to focus their priorities. You find out what matters to them. What they’re willing to die for. What they’re willing to lie for. – House
- We are selfish, base animals crawling across the earth, but ’cause we’ve got brains, if we try really hard, we can usually aspire to something that is less than pure evil. – House

- “Our bodies break down, sometimes when we’re 90, sometimes before we’re even born, but it always happens and there’s never any dignity in it. I don’t care if you can walk, see, wipe your own butt. It’s always ugly. Always. You can live with dignity, we can’t die with it.” – House, Pilot Episode
- “Well, like the philosopher Jagger once said, ‘You can’t always get what you want.'” – House, Pilot Episode

- House: “When you think about it, the more I mock you, the more it proves my respect for you. “
- “And humility is an important quality. Especially if you’re wrong a lot…. Of course, when you’re right, self-doubt doesn’t help anybody, does it?” – House

- Arrogance has to be earned. Tell me what you did to earn yours. – House M.D.
- Dr. Wilson: You don’t like yourself. But you do admire yourself. Its all you’ve got so you cling to it. You’re so afraid if you change, you’ll lose what makes you special. [pause] Being miserable doesn’t make you better than anybody else, House. It just makes you miserable.

- …the fact that the sexual pleasure center of your cerebral cortex has been over-stimulated by spirochetes is a poor basis for a relationship. Learned that one the hard way. – House M.D.

- “The only thing you know is that I’m a genius who got a dog to pee in your toilet. You don’t know how I did it, or more interestingly, where I peed.” – House M.D.
- “If you want to know the weather your askin’ the wrong Phil. Its gonna be cold, its gonna be grey, and its gonna last you the rest of your life.” – Phil the Weatherman in Groundhog Day
- This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat. What a hype. Groundhog Day used to mean something in this town. They used to pull the hog out, and they used to eat it. You’re hypocrites, all of you! – Phil Connors, Groundhog Day
- In those moments where you’re not quite sure if the undead are really dead, dead, don’t get all stingy with your bullets. I mean, one more clean shot to the head, and this lady could have avoided becoming a human Happy Meal. Woulda… coulda… shoulda. – Columbus, Zombieland
- All right, I am often brash, rude, and brutally direct. Someday I’m going to die and I don’t have time to toe-dance around the periphery of hatred. – Mel Brooks
- i’m not the smartest or the best looking but i am smarter than anyone better looking than me, I am better looking than anyone smarter than me, and if someone is smarter and better looking than me, I can kick their ass. – unknown, but I wish it was me that said it
- So, now, I just keep my mouth shut and pet my chihuahuas. – Mickey Rourke

Instead of slowly killing them as usually is the case, the virus mutated, and caused massive brain swelling in its victim in a matter of hours, which in turn created a homicidal maniac with a hunger for human flesh. Thus began the zombie apocalypse in Zombieland.
