- Jinju Seong: [narrating] Adapt. That's what humans do, isn't it? Our great leg up. We roll. We hack. Knuckle down and change. Even Snowpiercer is an adaptation. That was classic Wilford. While the world froze and other mega-rich tried to hole up in bunkers and or upload their consciousness, Mr. Wilford dusted off his train set. Snowpiercer is His system. Systems resist change, even without their maker. I'm just a scientist. I'm here to save the world, not change it. I know our chances of surviving are slim at best. All I can do about that is provide small moments of happiness on Snowpiercer, 1,001 cars long.
- Bess Till: I'm not afraid to be seen together.
- Jinju Seong: You just don't want to walk to work with me in the morning?
- Bess Till: Jinju, there's enough track talk about me as it is.
- Andre Layton: Art belongs to First now? These people broiled the Earth, then they froze her, and now they hang the spoils on their walls.
- Melanie Cavill: Layton, I was a 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.
- LJ Folger: You guys really not get to see the sun in the Tail?
- Andre Layton: Most of us haven't seen the sun in seven years. How's that make you feel, living up here with everything you need?
- LJ Folger: I mean, you guys didn't have tickets.
- Andre Layton: Erik was a dog who did what he was told. And Lilah Junior told him to torture and kill two Third Class men.
- Lilah Folger: What?
- Andre Layton: Your daughter's a murderer.
- Lilah Folger: How dare you!
