===[[Season 2]]=== <tabber> |-|S2E1= === [[The Time of Two Engines]] === {{Dialogue|Wilford|You stole my train! Used my name.|Melanie|Well, you plastered it everywhere.|Wilford|I built the world! It’s the only one left and it’s mine. I run it! You? You were fixing tractors on Daddy’s farm. I lifted you out of pig shit at 17. I shared everything. I gave you everything. The solution…|Melanie|There’s no solution…|Wilford|There’s no solution…|Wilford|Oh, for God’s sake!|Melanie|… until we can go back out there!|Wilford|This is the world. A rolling steel artery on a dead marble.}}{{Dialogue|Melanie|You’re an engineer…|Wilford|Engineer, bring Snowpiercer to a full stop.|Alex|Full stop, gladly.|Melanie|Alex...|Wilford|Reverse.|Bennette|He dropped the anchor.|Javi|No. We can’t stop. He’ll disconnect.|attr=Melanie learned [[Alexandra Cavill|Alex]] is an engineer.}} {{Dialogue|Wilford|11=Wilford|18=Wrong choice, honey. [Bomb exploded]|17=Melanie|16=Disconnect. Now. Alex… Come on now… Alex… It’s alright…|15=Wilford|14=If you disconnect, all of those people will die. A whole world… will die. Believe me. You don’t want that on your conscience.|13=Melanie|12=[chuckles] Oh my god, get me that whiskey. (To Alex) JUST GET IT DONE!|10=Because it’s right, because that train is our future.|I’m taking her back, Mel. If you can’t get this Layton to surrender my train, Alex will disconnect, and we’ll take a short spin in reverse. When we return, they’ll all be dead. And your job for the next several years, will be to compost every last one of them.|9=Melanie|8=Why?|7=Alex|6=Don’t do it.|5=Melanie|4=Disconnect Snowpiercer, reverse one-quarter speed.|Wilford|attr=[[Joseph Wilford|Wilford]] stopping ''Snowpiercer '' for the second time.}} {{Dialogue|Alex|13=Melanie|line2=Wait… For the order… [nods]|line1=Wilford|20=Really don’t have a choice… [Approaches to the lever.]|19=Alex|18=Shut up!|17=Wilford|16=She got you, Dubs.|15=Alex|14=It’s kind of the only solution, really. We’ll have to find a way to work together.|12=Never.|I can’t disconnect.|11=Wilford|10=Yeah, we are, permanently. So, you better give Alex the order to get Snowpiercer moving again or we’ll all die in a few minutes.|9=Melanie|8=Holy shit. We’re stuck together.|7=Alex|6=He overbuilt the connecting mechanism. I said so at the time, remember? I told you if something goes wrong with that central lock we won’t be able to manually undo the grappling arms.|5=Melanie|4=What have you done?|Wilford|attr=Melanie's plan saved ''Snowpiercer''.}} |-|S2E2= === [[Smolder to Life]] === {{Quote|Every year before the snow came, my father would burn slash piles. Mounds of deadfall and brush, flames as high as the barn… I’d hold my face up to the hear and dare myself closer, like I was walking into the sun. (…) When Alex was old enough, she helped me hose down the ash pits. And I’d warn her, like my dad warned me, of the heat lurking inside. Ready to smolder to life, like a visit from a ghost. These are her revolutions now, On Snowpirecer, 1,034 cars long.|Melanie's opening dialogue.}} {{Dialogue|Layton|Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Snowpiercer, I would like to welcome Mr. Wilford and his crew aboard.|Wilford|Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Layton. I look forward to, uh, the Aquarium, First Class Dining, My Nightcar!|Layton|[chuckles] I’m afraid we have graver concerns to address today, Mr. Wilford.|Layton|Concerns that must be address together, as one train. Head engineer Cavill?|Melanie|Thank you. [clears throat] [sighs] People of Snowpiercer and Big Alice, the Earth is warming. CW-7 in the upper atmosphere is dissipating. Instead of a 1,000-year timeframe. The planet may create warm spots that could support recolonization in our lifetime. Now… we have a lot to learn. A lot to prepare for. And we have to do it together…|attr=Melanie made an important announcement.}} |-|S2E3= === [[A Great Odyssey]] === {{Dialogue|Alex|Leave once, it’s a decision. Then you leave me twice, and then that becomes a choice.|Melanie|Yes, I’m choosing to go. But only because there’s not much chance of a world for you if I don’t.|Alex|Okay, so… what do you wanna know?|Melanie|Everything. What do you love to do? Who pierced your ears? Where you sleep? Will you ever laugh?|attr=Melanie told [[Alexandra Cavill|Alex]] she loves her but she had to go.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|It’s a nice bunk.|Alex|We get to decorate then, but they’re all the same. Except for Wilford’s.|Melanie|Well, you made it nice. [Looks at the cotton ropes on the wall.]|Alex|I use this to visualize our route.|Melanie|Yeah. Me, too. Same trick.|Alex|Well, we did have the same teacher. [Picks up a paper] I used to draw you… to picture what you looked like. [Gives it to Melanie.]|Melanie|I pictured your face too, all the time.|Alex|Wilford says you’re the best driver he’s ever seen.|attr=[[Alexandra Cavill|Alex]] shows Melanie her bunk.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|Look, I... I think I know what your priorities are.|Layton|Yeah, you want me to run it by you to see if I got it? Protect the science.|Melanie|Number one.|Layton|Yeah, to do that, I'll have to hold off the megalomaniac who created this world and wants to get power back again and has already got some supporters on his side.|Melanie|Yeah, that's about the size of it.|Layton|Which leads me to believe that maybe he didn't want anybody to get off this train and recolonize the Earth in the first place.|Melanie|Just so we're clear, the success of this mission will be measured in data, not my survival. Good luck, Andre.|Layton|Good luck, Melanie.|attr=Melanie and [[Andre Layton|Layton]] lay out their priorities and say goodbye}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|You can trust Layton. He's a good man. He's just, and so are you.|Ruth|Well, good men and women don't seem to stay good long doing this, do they?|Melanie|Please promise me you'll look after Alex. I just... I wanna know someone's... there for her. It would mean a lot to me if it was you.|Ruth|Of course I will. You have my word.|Melanie|Thank you.|attr=Melanie and Ruth say an emotional goodbye}} {{Quote|Engineer. We'll all be waiting for you right here when you get back.|[[Ruth Wardell|Ruth]] makes Melanie a promise.}} |-|S2E6= === [[Many Miles From Snowpiercer]] === {{Quote|In the Old Time, the future seemed multi-faceted. We had careers, families, personal aspirations, places to go, friends to see, bucket lists. The hum of human dreams we took for granted. But we were sleepwalking. Just one step away from trading all those possible futures for the shared fate of The Freeze.|[[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]] thinking about times before the freeze.}} {{Quote|Alex? I have the climate model. Allie… [sighs] I tried. I really tried. And I thought this time would be different. I thought I would get back to you. So… please forgive me.|Melanie crying when ''Snowpiercer'' didn't come back to get her on time.}} {{Quote|You gave up everything for us. For the world. You don’t have to be sorry anymore, not to me. Not to anyone. ''Snowpiercer ''couldn’t have made it this far without you, and you and I would never have got this chance.|[[Alexandra Cavill|Alex]]'s hallucination to Melanie.}} |-|S2E10= === [[Into the White]] === {{Quote|I had nothing here to return to. I'm only human, so of course I used up my resources. Ate my rats to extinction, and the cold crept in. There isn't enough power to keep me alive more than a few hours but on a trickle charge, the drives could last months for you. I knew when the train blew past in sparks and flame, ''Snowpiercer'' breaking and ''Big Alice'' pushing, that Wilford was sabotaging it all somehow. But you were there in the window, Alex. I knew you'd come back. I can feel your reading this as I write, so now I can put on my helmet and walk into the white at peace. You are my hope, Alex. Learn to love the people that got us this far, and together, one day, you will build a better world.|Melanie's goodbye letter to [[Alexandra Cavill|Alex]].}} </tabber>
