Things fall in the direction that we call "down". BTW, "down" may point in different "absolute" directions.
you will fall faster on the earth because earth has a higher gravity
what was the fossil in the opening scene in journey to the center of the earth
The force of gravity is zero at the earth's centre. So there would be no specific direction to fall. One interesting fact is that if evacuated tubes were drilled between any two cities on Earth, the travel time between any pair of cities would be 42 minutes! 21 min accelerating and 21 min decelerating. This time is constant whether the tubes went through the centre of the Earth or not. (Thanks Lewis Carroll.)
It takes them about 20 minutes to fall asleep. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!
Yes, all objects on or near Earth's surface fall towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravity acting upon them. This is why objects dropped from a height fall downwards.

things fall towards the center of the earth
Because the ground is in the way!

It is physically impossible to fall to the Earth's core due to extreme heat and pressure. If such a fall were possible, using theoretical calculations, it would take roughly 42 minutes to fall through a tunnel that extends through the Earth's center assuming no air resistance.
All objects on earth are pulled towards the center of the earth by gravity. The objects are pulled to the core(center of earth), but are not pulled through because of the normal force.

The free fall acceleration of an object under Earth's gravity is directed downward, towards the center of the Earth. This acceleration is constant at approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on the surface of the Earth.

You wouldn't. Aside from the fact that you would burn up as you reached the earths core, you have to think of gravity.If you have a hole on one side of the earth and you fall in it you would fall to the center of the earth. If there was a hole on the exact opposite side of the earth and the fellow over there fell into it he would fall toward the center of the earth. If both holes went to the center of the earth and were joined, and molten magma didn't come out, then I would reason that you would fall no further than the center.
It would take 120 years to go to the center of earth
