- Andre Layton: [narrating] On the eve of our 19th revolution, the great Mr. Wilford came out of the cold. It was the time of two Engines. The Tail no longer the Tail, but a borderland. A time of great gamesmanship, and great trainsmanship. A time of revolutions interrupted, and fresh track on new terrain.
- Andre Layton: Hope was our only seedling in the war of Big Alice, 40 cars long, versus Snowpiercer, 994 cars strong.
- Andre Layton: The last item is a bottle of Mr. Wilford's favorite scotch.
- Miss Audrey: This is just the beginning, Andre. He's going to take everything we just fought for.
- Andre Layton: Tell me about it later. Out of the way!
- Melanie Cavill: Snowpiercer won't survive more than 20 minutes if you disconnect.
- Joseph Wilford: It's ironic, isn't it, my protégé? You run away from me all these years, and all of a sudden, you just can't bear to be apart from me. I want my train back, Melanie.
- Melanie Cavill: Actually, you still ran her until very recently.
- Joseph Wilford: What's that supposed to mean?
- Melanie Cavill: Means I found it easier to keep you alive. I convinced people you were still in the Engine. But I lost control.
- Miss Audrey: Mr. Wilford doesn't just want control of his train. He wants control of all of you, body and soul.
- Melanie Cavill: What happened with Grandma and Grandpa?
- Alexandra Cavill: They wouldn't leave with the men that you sent.
- Melanie Cavill: They wanted to die at home.
- Alexandra Cavill: They said I should go, but I didn't want to leave them.
- Melanie Cavill: You know... I sent you away to live with them for a reason.
- Alexandra Cavill: Why, because you had a train to steal, so you didn't need a daughter anymore?
- Melanie Cavill: To keep you from him.
- Alexandra Cavill: He's the one who saved me after you left me.
- Melanie Cavill: That's not why he saved you.
