" I could tell she knew what I was feeling, we all are orphans in Zombieland." - Columbus
I believe this line was a significant moment in Zombieland because for Columbus this road trip was to find if his parents were still alive in this zombie apocalypse. Along the way he finds out that his hometown was taken over by zombies causing him to choose to stay with the group instead of looking for his parents. He recognizes along with Wichita, Little Rock, and Tallahassee that although they may be "orphans" and not have their families that through this road trip they became a family. No longer could Columbus play it safe and follow his rules but he needed to get over his phobias and let his life play its course on this road.
My question is why does Tallahassee reveal the death of his son to the group?

I agree that this quote was significant in this movie's definition of a road trip. These four people start off as distrusting strangers from very different backgrounds. They know very little about each other, but through the conflict and loneliness they face on the road they are able to put aside their differences and selfish wants, and begin to look out for each other. They are united through their common struggle and begin to realize that they need each other both for protection and companionship.

I think this quote shows how the movie portrays a road trip. At first, Columbus, Witchita and Little Rock do not get along and these ladies steal his car. They soon learn the world ahead will not be easy so they join forces and work together. Unity is crucial on every adventure and this is definitely an example of that.
