Quotes
-
Curtis : We have 4 seconds to go through three gates and bust Nam out.
Gilliam : Then Nam gets us the rest of the way. Our fate depends on this man.
Curtis : Yeah. If we can get to cooperate he can take all the way to the front of the train.
Gilliam : Very front section?
Curtis : Yeah. From here right to the front of the train. Everything in one stroke. We control the engine, we control the world. Without that, we have nothing. All past revolutions have failed because they couldn't take the engine.
Gilliam : What are you saying?
Curtis : This time we take the engine.
Gilliam : Then what?
Curtis : We kill them.
Gilliam : Wilford?
Curtis : You should run the train now, not Wilford.
Gilliam : I am a shadow of my former shadow. My day was decades ago.
-
Curtis : They don't have bullets.
Gilliam : Why do you say that?
Curtis : You remember what Mason said? She said "put down that useless gun."
Gilliam : She meant she wouldn't give the order to shoot me.
Curtis : No. No, I think the guns are literally useless. They used up all their bullets four years ago in the last revolt. Bullets are extinct.
Gilliam : If you're wrong, we could be finished before we even start. I think we should be patient. Wait for the next red letter.
-
Gilliam : [to Curtis] When you get to the narrow bridge, big gate with a "W" on it... Wilford's behind that. Don't let Wilford talk. Cut out his tongue.
-
Gilliam : [discovering a red letter in a protein block] The water supply section?
Paul : Yeah, it's just a few cars up. It's where the, uh, the water's cleansed and recycled.
Gilliam : It's one of the most crucial sections in the train.
Curtis : If we take it, we have the upper hand?
Gilliam : We don't even have to go to the very front. We control the water... we control the negotiation.
