• [first lines] 

  Andre Layton : [narrating]  First the weather changed. The deniers knew why, but they still doomed us with their lies. War made the Earth even hotter. Her ice melted, and all her species crashed. So, the men of science tried to cool the Earth, to reverse the damage they had sown. But instead, they froze her to the core.

  Andre Layton : [thunder crashes]  Only the visionary Mr. Wilford foresaw the future, and he prepared the Great Ark train. In the final days of The Freeze, the rich, many of them responsible, retreated to Snowpiercer, 1,001 cars long.

• Josie Wellstead : I'm sorry. I know you want to move things slower, but...

  Andre Layton : We need to think long-term about this.

  Josie Wellstead : There is no long-term if we're too old and sick to fight.

  Andre Layton : I don't want you on the front line tomorrow.

  Josie Wellstead : We're gonna be all right.

• Zarah Ferami : We could've joined your brother, died together, like people we admired were doing. But instead, you made me live. For what? For the hell of the Tail? So you don't for a second have the right to judge my choices. You know how hard it is to find love on this train.

  Andre Layton : Yeah, not very, apparently.

  Zarah Ferami : I bet you bunked with Josie the moment I was gone.

  Andre Layton : No, we didn't. We just survived.

• Andre Layton : Taking me back to the Tail now, Roche?

  Roche : No. You're going to my lockup. I'm going home to my wife.

  Andre Layton : I gotta get back there, man. Tail's all I got in the world.

• Andre Layton : I'll do it. I'll solve your murder. I will get Mr. Wilford his order back. And you can have mercy on the Tail.

  Melanie Cavill : Mr. Wilford will want an example made immediately, but... there's to be no more loss of life. In the morning, Ruth will take a significant arm.

  Ruth Wardell : Spectacle... at least it'll make an impression.

  Melanie Cavill : You're in a tight spot, Mr. Layton.

• Andre Layton : The only Tailie who has ever been north of the Nightcar is Old Ivan here.

  Old Ivan : I will never be too old to remember they day they pulled me uptrain to tune a piano. It played beautifully except for one dead key - middle C. I guess no one remembered to bring some...

  Pike : Bring piano wire.
