== Quotes == {{Scroll|<br> {{Quote|Do you think I want to be here? Eh? That Mr. Wilford wants me to be doing this? Snowpiercer is all that's left of the world. Each of us has a personal responsibility to the Engine Eternal. You Tailies barely have to do anything. Yeah? Just sit around and don't rebel.|Ruth to the Tailies.}} {{Quote|You ready to detect, Detective?|Bess to Layton.}} {{Dialogue|Miss Audrey|A little something special for you service.|Layton|What service is that?|Miss Audrey|You could reverse a Wilford injustice. That hope is in short supply in Third.|attr=Miss Audrey and Layton talking.}} {{Quote|The Nightcar's never actually been a brothel, Andre. When the world ended, most people needed something else... to grieve, to connect with everything we've lost.|Miss Audrey to Layton.}} {{Quote|Uh-huh. Not what my Nightcar trip looked like.|Bess to Layton.}} {{Dialogue|Doctor Pelton|You're not saying this is cannibalism.|Bess Till|No. We don't do that up here. We all know the rumors about the Tail, but we...|Layton|Oh, those aren't rumors. First couple of years, there were kill cults. One gang in particular, they would kill anyone, eat anyone. Had no choice. The rest of us, we ambushed their leader, each of us ate a piece of his heart so that no one could say they were innocent.|attr=The Cannibalism of the Tailies.}} {{Quote|Despite your violence yesterday, and grave hand of fate hanging over our heads this very second, Mr. Wilford believes that children deserve an education in skilled or unskilled labor, and so we are proceeding with apprenticeship selection. The names are as follows. Mikala Mwanza...Mia Kaisheck...and the boy they call Miles and Miles. Should your families choose to accept his invitation, you have one hour to get ready for your new lives uptrain.|[[Ruth Wardell|Ruth]]'s announcement to the Tailies.}} {{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 sealed.|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|Till|Why do you care? Just blame the butchers and claim your Third Class cabin.|Layton|First off, I don't want Third Class. I want to go back to the Tail. And second⦠I guess I'm still a cop afterall.|Till|I was assigned to the first murder too. They had Nikki guilty out of the gate. Fast tribunal, took all of three hours. Nothing they could have done for her. You still care about getting the right guy?|attr=[[Bess Till|Till]] and [[Andre Layton|Layton]] about the investigation.}} {{Dialogue|Josie|You were so little when we started.|Miles|I'm not anymore.|Josie|Well, then, you better decide for yourself, don't you?|Miles|Layton says we need our people uptrain.|Josie|He's right.|Miles|We need every department. We need friends high and low.|Josie|You see? You are a good listener. Miles... I swear to you, I will not stop fighting from the back. But you're going uptrain. And that means we might never see each other again.|Miles|Yes, we will. After the revolution, like Layton said. All right? Love you.|attr=[[Josie Wellstead|Josie]] and [[Miles]] saying goodbye.}} {{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 he 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 Cavill|Melanie]] to [[Andre Layton|Layton]] after Layton tried to make contact with The Tail.}}}}
