== Quotes ==
{{Quote|We build our lives around the ones we love. And when we lose them, we lose ourselves. (...) The grief turns us inward. We search our hearts for clues. Question if we did enough, what is left, and... who we are in this new world. (...) And piece by piece, we pull ourselves together again. We harden. We rebuild with new bones a new path forward. (...) Still, I allow myself to hope that she'll return to us and our old selves won't hold us back. On ''Snowpiercer'', 1,029 cars long.|Bennett's opening monologue}}
{{Quote|Day 91. Second revolution. 42.85 degrees north, 106.32 degrees west. So... that puts me somewhere outside Casper, Wyoming. Battery is at 57%. Temperature is... Not warm. Still no sign of ''Snowpiecer''. No snow displacement. No change in tracks, which is... Either she isn't rolling anymore, or they're off the mainline. Once I cross the Bering Strait, I'll switch to secondary track, expand my search. Until then, signing off. (...) Day 172. Last of my stimulant's gone. I don't think my body is strong enough to wake from suspension without it. If this is my last entry, it's with thoughts of you, Alex. Outside. In sunlight and warmth.|Melanie's journals as she travels}}
{{Quote|She's onboard. She's onboard.|An ecstatic Bennett reports Melanie's rescue to the Engine}}
{{Dialogue|Josie|She's alive.|Layton|Suspension drugs. That's how she survived without food or water.|attr=Josie and Layton discover just how Melanie survived}}
{{Dialogue|Wilford|In and out of suspension for six months?|Alex|She rigged up time releases.|Wilford|And she knew there was a track scaler at the Rocky Mountain shed. And a lab with Drawer supplies. It's brilliant. She saved herself through suspension. Her own last resort.|attr=Wilford and Alex discuss Melanie's amazing survival}}
{{Dialogue|Wilford|Sorry about leaving you to die, I suppose. But you know how things are.|Melanie|It was great. I got a little me time.|attr=Melanie and Wilford reunite}}
{{Quote|Attention, passengers. This is Melanie Cavil. Tonight, I witnessed a ''Snowpiercer'' unlike any I'd seen before. United. Borderless. Free of class and greed. The dream of New Eden made that possible, but a dream left unchecked can be a dangerous thing, and we cannot forget what got us this far. Reason, discipline... And truth. The journey to the Horn of Africa is not safe. The track is unsound. If we knew what we would find when we got there, it might be worth the risk, but we don't. New Eden is a fiction invented by Layton. He and his crew have never been there. He lied to you. It's 8:42 pm and the temperature outside is -98 degrees. Goodnight, ''Snowpiecer'', and long may you roll.|Melanie betrays Layton and reveals the truth}}
{{Quote|Enjoy them while you can, my friends. We're at war.|Wilford is pleased by the turn of events}}
