David subjects him to a series of annoying questions, but Shaun keeps his cool.Īfter finding a working rifle above the bar, the group talks about who among them has experience with a firearm. As David once again complains about the plan, Shaun returns through the backdoor of the Winchester. While he claims that they will still be able to hear Shaun and let him in, the viewer gets the feeling that David would like to strand Shaun outside with the zombies. Twenty minutes later, Shaun has not returned, and David wants to board up the window. Shaun draws the zombies away so that they will not follow them into the tavern. When they finally reach the tavern, David throws a trashcan through the window to allow them entrance (even though Shaun was trying to tell him that there was a backdoor). When they run into Yvonne’s group on the way to the Winchester, David is quick to point out that Liz and Shaun have ended their relationship (a statement which he no doubt delights in uttering). When there are zombies to be killed, David usually stays in the background and allows Shaun and the others to do the hard work. Even though he says he won’t go, he eventually relents when Liz and Dianne decide that the plan is a good one.Īs they continue their journey to the Winchester, David is little help. Shaun wants to take them all to the safety of the Winchester Tavern, but David doubts the good sense of that plan.
No doubt, David must know that Liz intends to break up with Shaun, telling him, "Basically I'd say your nine lives are up, Shaun".Īfter the zombie epidemic becomes widespread, we next see David in the apartment, riding out the attack with Dianne and Liz. As Shaun and Liz quarrel, David can’t resist making his snotty observations, driving Shaun to yell and curse at him. When Shaun comes to Liz’s apartment to apologize (after promising to make dinner reservations and then forgetting), David refuses to let him in, forcing Shaun to climb up onto the balcony. David, of course, cannot resist making a comment here or there about how Shaun needs to spend more time with her. The first couple of times that we see David, he is looking on as Liz and Shaun have discussions about their relationship. Most of the time, he doesn’t even try to hide his contempt for the movie’s protagonist, Shaun (who also happens to be Liz’s boyfriend).
He often takes Dianne to see examples of impressive architecture, while Dianne is always dragging David to the theatre.ĭavid wears glasses and is fond of rugby shirts and brown leather jackets. The three have known each other since college, and it’s quite obvious that David is in love with Liz, even though he and Dianne are a couple (she refers to him as "Daffs").ĭavid makes his living as a lecturer, and there’s no doubt that he is the snobbish intellectual type. He resides in the London area and lives with Dianne and Liz. David is a male in his late 20’s or early 30’s.
