===[[Season 1]]=== <tabber> |-|S1E1= === [[First, the Weather Changed]] === {{Quote|Attention all passengers. Wilford Industries wishes you a good morning. The temperature outside is minus 119.6 degrees Celsius. As we enter the Yukon Territory of the former Canada, we remind you, for your personal safety, be prepared to brace. We are 6 years, 9 months, and 26 days from departure. At the tone, the exact time will be 0800 hours.|Melanie Cavill's daily announcement.}} {{Quote|Good evening, passengers. Be advised, track conditions will deteriorate over the next 24 hours. Remain safe and prepare to brace. From Mr. Wilford and all of us at Wilford Industries. Good night.|Melanie's announcement before Tailie rebellion.}} {{Quote|You want justice, Detective, clear her. And if you catch the killer, we'll make you Train Detective and move you to Third Class.|Melanie asking [[Andre Layton|Layton]] to help solving the case.}} {{Dialogue|Bennett|It's gonna be bumpy tomorrow.|Melanie|Yeah. I hate this stretch of track. Thanks, Ben.|Bennett|You have the train... Mr. Wilford.|Melanie|I have the train.|attr=[[Bennett Knox|Ben]] revealing Melanie is [[Joseph Wilford|Mr. Wilford]].}} |-|S1E2= === [[Prepare to Brace]] === {{Dialogue|Jinju|We can’t ration any more power to Ag-Sec unless we start canceling crops.|Melanie|We’re not breaking rotation.|Bennett|Water won’t flow for a couple days at least. Not until the crack in the hull is seal.|Jinju|Then we only have what’s in the reservoir for Third, Ag-Sec and Tail.|Melanie|[ sighs] We ration the people, not the crops. Third and Second will get 15 minutes of running water a day, and the Tail will have to survive on what they’ve hoarded.|Bennett|Is this what the start of a resource crash feels like? Starving the train from the tail up.|Jinju|It’s not just the beef. It’s manure for fertilizer. It’s bovine cultures. We use their methane.|Melanie|I know. It’s bad. But how bad stays between us. In the meantime, we press ahead with selecting the new apprentice and we bolster faith in Wilford to get them through.|attr=[[Jinju Seong]], [[Bennett Knox]] and [[Melanie Cavill]] discussing the damage to ''Snowpiercer''.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|What do you see...when you look at this train?|Layton|I see a fortress to class.|Melanie|Is that all? Well, I see 3,000 souls surviving on a planet that's determined to freeze all life in place. We're still in motion, alive and kicking, and it's not thanks to chance or fate or God. It is thanks to order, meticulously maintained by Mr. Wilford. A balance of need and greed and speed, and you Tailies, who seem to have forgotten that it is 117 degrees below zero outside of this metal tube, and Mr. Wilford is awake 21 hours a day just to keep the Goddamn heat on.|Layton|Guess that's why it needs informants like Sean Wise. Wise was a Wilford rat. He got paid in perks...like the rigged Baby Lottery. Why else would you care so much about a Thirdie's murder? So, what you really want to know is, when he was tortured, what Wilford secrets did he spill? Y'all got killers and cannibals and God-knows what else up here. So don't lecture me about balance. My people found ours years ago.|Melanie|Okay. Very perceptive. No wonder Mr. Wilford wants you as Train Detective. But that's the only reason you're still here now.|attr=Melanie to Layton after Layton tried to make contact with The Tail.}} |-|S1E3= === [[Access Is Power]] === {{Quote|We all know it’s been a tough 48 hours. It seems the events have been on Mr. Wilford’s mine as well. He’s written a personal message for us all. To my loyal and trusted crew, without whom this mission could never succeed. In this time of adversity, I ask you, the lead stewards of humanity, to remain unshaken in spirit and resolve, as you’ve done so nobly these past seven years. By your steady hand, we will ride out this hardship, and outlive the ice. Bound by our cause and our need. Wilford.|Melanie reading Mr. Wilford's letter to the First Class, after the train has been damaged.}} |-|S1E4= === [[Without Their Maker]] === {{Dialogue|Bennett|So... have you thought of a workaround for the methane shortage?|Melanie|Yup. Goat farts.|Bennett|Very good! MIT.|Melanie|[chuckles] I know it would pay off.|attr=We learned Melanie graduated from MIT}} {{Quote|Layton, I was born on a dirt farm in eastern Pennsylvania. I came from nothing. I know a thing or two about class. That anger that you feel when you look at all of this? It's justified. Let's use it. Whoever the killer is, First is going to protect their own, so you be their worst nightmare from the Tail. I'll do the rest.|Melanie to [[Andre Layton|Layton]] when he see the arts hanging on The First's wall.}} {{Dialogue|Lilah|On behalf of everyone here, I demand to speak to Mr. Wilford. It's time, Melanie.|Bennett|[TELEPHONE RINGS] This is Bennett.|Melanie|I'm sorry. I need you to put me through to him. It's urgent.|Bennett|Oh, hey, are we doing this again?|Melanie|Thank you. I'll wait.|Bennett|Anything to put a smile on your face.|Melanie|Mr. Wilford. Good news first. We may have identified the killer.|Bennett|Is that for real? Or is that part of the act?|Melanie|Yeah, a bodyguard from First. But the family's reluctant to let your Detective in to investigate, and they would like a word.|Bennett|Well, that would piss me right off. Huff, huff, huff.|Melanie|The Folgers. It's their man. Yes, Lilah Folger, sir. I know, but she's demanding it. Very good.|Lilah|[ MURMURING ] For the investigation, we will allow him in, but only if you accompany him.|Melanie|Mr. Wilford, my apologies. It seems everything is sorted.|Bennett|I miss you, Mel.|Melanie|Thank you for that. Goodbye, sir.|attr= Melanie calls [[Joseph Wilford|Mr. Wilford]] for [[Lilah Folger]] as she insists to have [[Andre Layton|Layton]] investigate their quarters.}} {{Quote|Attention all passengers. On behalf of Mr. Wilford, I share this news... the murderer who hid among us is dead, and a second suspect is in custody. Thanks to a successful investigation, order has been restored, and Mr. Wilford assures you justice will prevail. From all of us at Wilford Industries, thank you.|Melanie through the P.A. system.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|You figured it out, Layton. I know you did.|Layton|A myth's a powerful thing.|Melanie|Pray you never know the weight of it. I'm sorry, Layton.|attr=Melanie and Layton discuss her true identity.}} |-|S1E5= === [[Justice Never Boarded]] === {{Dialogue|Melanie|That stunt was beneath you, Audrey.|Miss Audrey|No, it really wasn't.|Melanie|I'm sorry about Nikki. I am. But one suspect is dead, and the other is standing trial for murder. What am I missing?|Miss Audrey|You know the trial is a joke. It's five miles uptrain, where a jury of First and Second get to judge one of their own for killing three of us.|Melanie|Us? The Nightcar is supposed to be Switzerland. Why are you politicizing it?|Miss Audrey|Third has the right to petition Wilford in labor disputes and matters of jurisprudence. We want a new tribunal drawn... one representative from each class and a delegation to observe the trial.|Melanie|For Christ's sake, Audrey.|Miss Audrey|You've grown callous doing Wilford's bidding. You used to try to make a difference, too.|Melanie|And I stood right here when you shared your vision of the Nightcar. Wilford saw a brothel. And you saw a higher purpose.|Miss Audrey|And you persuaded him I was right.|Melanie|And I am asking you to stay true to your vision. You give us a place to work through our grief, and the train depends on it!|Miss Audrey|And we depend on you, on your voice to Wilford's ear. Recommend a new tribunal.|Melanie|Or what?|Miss Audrey|Don't make me threaten you, Melanie. Third touches every system on this train. We will be heard.|attr=Melanie and [[Miss Audrey]] conversation about a new tribunal.}} {{Dialogue|Bennett|We haven't done that since the bees died. I'm sensing a bit of a pattern.|Melanie|God, I wish I could open a frigging window. You remember fresh air? Mm? You remember... going for walks?|Bennett|Rain. I miss the sound of rain.|Melanie|I miss so many things.|Bennett|Are you gonna do this? Draw a new tribunal?|Melanie|I just want to breathe.|attr=Melanie and [[Bennett Knox|Bennett]] after hooking up.}} {{Quote|Attention, passengers. Mr. Wilford has accepted a Third Class petition to redraw the tribunal for today's trial. One name has been drawn randomly from each class. If your name is called, please report immediately to your Hospitality representative. From First Class, our jurist is [[Edith Gusterfeld]]. From Second Class, [[Miss Gillies|primary teacher Mary-Elizabeth Gillies]]. And representing Third Class... [[Walter Flemming|Papermaker Walter Flemming]]. Again, Edith Gusterfeld, Mary-Elizabeth Gillies, and Walter Flemming... Let's go! ...please report to Hospitality. Thank you.|Melanie announcing the jurists from there classes.}} {{Dialogue|Ruth|Doesn't Mr. Wilford understand that you can't just change the rules?|Melanie|I guess they're his rules to change. He chose the will of the people.|Ruth|We don't have will. We have order.|attr=Ruth to Melanie about changing the rules.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|Lilah. Whatever you're doing behind closed doors, don't.|Lilah|Let me tell you a Folger family story. When LJ was 7, she put out Robert's eye. Lashed out with a fork and punctured it all over his face. And even as the jelly was running down his cheek, he held her through the tantrum, protecting her. So you go ahead with your Hospitality show trial and prepare to suffer the consequences. Because you're fucking with my bloodline.|attr=Melanie confronts [[Lilah Folger|Lilah]].}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|Before I release you to your parents...[[Joseph Wilford|Mr. Wilford]] has asked me to stress the importance of discretion.|LJ|Oh. Oh, so don't spill all of his Drawer secrets?|Melanie|What did Sean Wise tell you exactly?|LJ|That's between me and Mr. Wilford, isn't it?|Melanie|He's taking an extraordinary risk in helping you.|LJ|Third Class? I think they'll get over it.|Melanie|I mean you, LJ. I mean letting you walk free.|LJ|Wilford looked out for me, so... I'll look out for him.|attr=Melanie talking to [[LJ Folger|LJ]] before releasing her to her parents.}} |-|S1E6= === [[Trouble Comes Sideways]] === {{Dialogue|Melanie|Look. They’re circulated all through Third. It’s blowback from the trial.|Jinju|Shit. They can cripple every system on the train.|Melanie|Yes they could.|Jinju|They’d suffer along with the rest of us. They’re putting the gun to their own head.|Melanie|Well, it seems like to pull the balance of power their way, they’re willing to risk it.|Jinju|What do you gonna do?|Melanie|I’m going to crush it.|attr=Melanie and Jinju discuss The Third's Strike at [[the Engine]].}} {{Quote|It has come to Mr. Wilford's attention that a work stoppage is planned for today. Mr. Wilford would like to remind you that your labor is sacred! As non-paying passengers, it is also your ticket aboard. These are the terms. We all have our places and our jobs, and Mr. Wilford expects...If this work stoppage goes ahead, Mr. Wilford will seize 10 striking workers at random and send them to the Tail. He will bring 10 Tailies forward to fill their posts. You think life in Third is bad? There are 400 souls downtrain who would kill for what you have! Protect it! Call off the strike.

Calm Hospitality... |Ruth|...Calm Train.|Melanie|...Calm Train.|attr=Melanie reminding Ruth to stay calm.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|Layton!|Layton|Hello, Mr. Wilford. I know what you're doing. The hundreds of names, your lists! Anyone has a bad word, has an unsanctioned thought, they get thrown in a drawer, yeah?|Melanie|No, you don't understand.|Layton|Look at my face. It was a Tailie that got you, in the end.|Melanie|Unh! Layton, let me go. The train needs me. The drawers aren't what you think.|Layton|The drawers are hell and my people are still in there!|Melanie|They're not a prison! They're a lifeboat. We're hanging by our nails. Layton, we're hanging by our nails. The whole goddamn human experiment, it can be undone by a bloom of mold. If the social order collapses, if resources fail, if mechanics fail, our best hope is to keep life in suspension, to keep people in stasis while we ride out this Freeze. 400 people. They were selected for diversity, for health, for skills, to give us a fighting chance on the other side!|Layton|You decide who lives and who dies.|Melanie|No. We all made that choice, when we boarded this train and we left people behind. This train's dying, Layton. Please, let me fix her.|attr=[[Andre Layton|Layton]] confronting [[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]] about the Drawers.}} {{Quote|I designed her. I'll fix her.|[[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]] to [[Bennett Knox|Bennett]].}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|Hey. Do you know what this is?|Miles|A caliper.|Melanie|Every Engineer needs one. Mr. Wilford gave me this.

Wilford Industries wishes you good morning. Yesterday, during the Torreta Canyon Crisis, Electrical Engineer Peter DiMarco paid the ultimate price for our survival.

Today, the greatest of honors...The young man known as Miles and Miles will be fast-tracked to the Engine! Thank you for your faith and your labors. As always, our Great Engineer, Mr. Wilford, wishes you a pleasant day.|Melanie announcing the apprentice replacement.}} {{Quote|I understand you're pregnant. Congratulations. That's wonderful news. You know it's a privilege to have a child on Snowpiercer? It's not a right. And privileges... well, they can be taken away just as easily as they're given.|Melanie threatening [[Zarah Ferami|Zarah]].}} {{Quote|My name is Melanie. You don't know me, but I speak for Mr. Wilford. You've rebelled against the order of this train many times. Your brothers and sisters...have died. Your children have died. And you have nothing to show for it. I'm here to tell you, if you try again, you will fail again.|Melanie to the Tailies.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|You know, once you pass through that door, there's no turning back. You'll be an Engineer. But to be an Engineer on Snowpiercer, you have to make sacrifices. And that can be hard.|Miles|Are you happy as an Engineer?|Melanie|The needs of the train are more important than our own happiness. We're Engineers. We keep the world alive.|attr=Melanie talking to [[Miles]].}} |-|S1E8= === [[These Are His Revolutions]] === {{Dialogue|Melanie|This is Chicago, and we should be there in a day and a half.|Miles|This is our slowest revolution, isn’t it? Twenty-two hours off average.|Melanie|We lose a little bit of time each revolution. So it’s on us to reverse that.|Miles|Because if Snowpiercer stops, we all die.|Melanie|That’s right.|Miles|Melanie, what was your daughter like?|Melanie|She was… smart. Like you. Sweet.

It's what we live with, Layton. Every second of our existence. You have the train, Layton.|attr=[[Andre Layton|Layton]] wins at a terrible cost.}} |-|S1E10= === [[994 Cars Long]] === {{Quote|Attention, all passengers. The temperature outside, is minus 121.9 degrees Celsius. As we approach Chicago, Mile Zero of our cycle life, be prepared to brace. We’re all haunted by our choices, the personal choices we all made when we boarded this train, and the collective choices that brought us to that day. Choices made over decades, even when we knew climate change was real. And finally, my own choice to pirate this ark, and lie to you all, which has brought us to where we are now, May we all move forward with greater awareness, of the choices that we make. We are one train. And today, that train chooses change. I hereby relinquish governance of Snowpiercer to the rebel forces. These are our revolutions, 994 cars long.|Melanie's opening dialogue, announcing the new train leader.}} </tabber>
