== Quotes == <tabber> |-|Melanie's Flashback= {{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 time before the freeze.}} {{Dialogue|Wilford|I thought I'd find you here.|Melanie|It's a beautiful thing we've created.|Wilford|(Sighs.) Depends how we define “created.” Well, I suppose you might deserve a little credit. You're the glue. You put all Snowpiercer's pieces together, She's just as much yours as she's mine., And you'll never hear me repeat that in public.|Melanie|Whatever your investors need to hear, Joseph.|Wilford|Oh, they heard it, my Engine Eternal.|Melanie|Depends how we define "Eternal.|Wilford|(Chuckles.) Now, now… Let's not ruin the moment.|Melanie|That's not possible, because now. We finally get to drive her.|attr=[[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]]'s flashback to a conversation with [[Joseph Wilford|Wilford]] in [[The Engine]] Control Room when the world is still warm.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|Tell me you aren't really doing this. With everything else we need, you're working on your brothel.|Wilford|Not a brothel. A Nightcar.|Melanie|This train is now an ark for humanity, not your personal indulgeness.|Wilford|Can't it be both? (Smokes.) Art on stage, and entertainment in the back. It sustains the soul, Melanie. And it's a release valve to keep everyone under control.|Melanie|The resources that you're wasting on this could sustain 20 more people that we're going to need. Ticketing says you removed half of my geneticists from the passenger list.|Wilford|We have more important priorities.|Melanie|Like what? Like… your security?|Wilford|I promise you, all guns will be confiscated and thrown from the train. But the Jackboots will keep order. Three thousand souls stuffed into a ten-mile steel tube. You think they're gonna suddenly start singing Kumbaya?|Melanie|I think that if we're going to save humankind, we need people who actually know how to save humankind.|attr=[[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]]'s flashback to a conversation with [[Joseph Wilford|Wilford]] in the [[Night Car]] when ''Snowpiercer'' is becoming an ark.}} {{Dialogue|Melanie|Joseph, please. There are gonna be more important things than order.|Wilford|Nothing's more important than order.|Melanie|Do you even believe in any of this?|Wilford|Clearly, I've been working you too hard, Which is why I will forgive what you just said. Snowpiercer has only one head engineer, her creator. She runs on my order. Now, if you can't accept that then, your family can stay behind. Is that clear? (Chuckles.) You can't, you can't sugarcoat the end of the world, Melanie. Not everything's gonna be fine, but I promise you... you will survive.|Melanie|Thank you Joseph.|attr=[[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]]'s flashback to a conversation with [[Joseph Wilford|Wilford]] in the [[Night Car]] when ''Snowpiercer'' is becoming an ark.}} {{Dialogue|Tyson|(On walkie talkie to Wilford.) What are your orders, sir. They say they're ticketed. They've got chips.|Melanie|They're my geneticists.|Wilford|What?|Melanie|You agreed to have them on board. And we need them.|Wilford|I agreed you could have six. Right now, we need six Jacks more.|Melanie|I'm not going without all of them, Joseph. We don't have time to discuss it. Let's just get everyone on board.|Wilford|You're right. There's no time. (On walkie talkie.) Terminate them... Never forget, Melanie, The train runs on my order.|attr=A Flashback when [[Joseph Wilford|Wilford]] killed Melanie's geneticists, leaving her in shock.}} {{Quote|We can't let that monster be in charge of what's left of humanity. You wanna steal the train and save the future. We have to go now!|A Flashback when [[Bennett Knox|Bennett]] tells [[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]] there's a chance to steal Wilford's train.}} |-|Melanie's Situation at Breslauer Weather Station= {{Quote|I found the bodies of two of the scientists stationed here at the Freeze. One male, shot in the head. The other, a woman who slit her wrists. Must've been a grim place to face the end of the world. But at the first light, I have to power it back up, Patch my batteries into the solar array. Then I'll go back down for the sled I left behind with my rations.|[[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]]'s first day at [[Breslauer Weather Station]].}} {{Quote|It's been ten days since I arrived. If I had food, this would be a glowing report. With each new probe, the system has more data and I coax I climate model. The picture is far from complete. Now, the question, is whether I can survive long enough to finish painting it.|[[Melanie Cavill|Melanie]]'s 10th day at [[Breslauer Weather Station]].}} {{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 Cavill|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 Cavill|Melanie]].}} </tabber>
