'''Roger:''' Did you bring a knife?\\
'''Fran:''' (''{{Beat}}'') No, I guess I didn't.\\
'''Roger:''' Then don't knock it, it's got its own key.

For the end of the world, or at least the collapse of society, the sight of rural folk, the US Army and National Guard, firefighters, police and paramedics all together and having a good time while shooting the undead always gets a laugh.

** Special attention to Peter and Stephen in the bank, to rob it blind ("You never know"). They brazenly walk right in, going through the line stanchions, and grab all the cash they can. To top it off, they shake hands, with a large wad of cash in their other hands and ''[[RefugeInAudacity pose for the security camera]].''

arguably the funniest moment in the movie

Added DiffLines:

* Roger wordlessly stopping ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy graduate Stephen from wasting ammo with body shots and hitting perfect head shots himself, ''twice in the same scene''. The first time he calmly walks up to Stephen, gently pushes his gun aside, lines up his shot and hits the mark. The second time, he more forcefully knocks the gun away with his own, in order to keep Peter from being killed by friendly fire. Stephen's "Oh Come on" look and shoulder shrug after the second kill is priceless.

* When the bikers raid the mall, they waste their time looting [[WorthlessYellowRocks useless]] things like money and jewelry, which no longer has any value. One picks up a dress shirt and tie...then promptly puts it back, because even ''they'' aren't stupid enough to want that.
