- Dr. Henry Klimpt: [narrating] You'd think loneliness would be impossible, all crammed in here. But this train was designed to separate us, from our possessions, from our loved ones. Now every last shred of us is worth something to someone. Everything's rare, so you gotta pay with something personal. And we're all trading up for the most valuable thing there is - access. Access all the way to First, where they hold the table for sport, then trade it right back down.
- Dr. Henry Klimpt: People avoid me because I care for the Sleepers, but that's my value, how I open doors and live in Second. I can trade for things, while the weakest can only trade their carbon for compost. So we keep pushing, pushing uptrain, pushing for access to feel more alive. Access is freedom. Access is power. We kill for that on Snowpiercer, 1,001 cars long.
- Andre Layton: Can I have access to the witness of the first murder yet?
- Melanie Cavill: No. She's still unconscious.
- Melanie Cavill: Miles made the apprenticeship program.
- Andre Layton: He made apprentice?
- Melanie Cavill: Yes. And he's fine. We just gave him a haircut.
- Andre Layton: I want to see him right now.
- Andre Layton: I've been thinking about what you said, about staying up here with you. I still love you, Zarah. But...
- Zarah Ferami: I know, Andre. I know the Tail needs you. I love you, too.
- Andre Layton: You ever sell Kronole to Sean Wise?
- Terence: Why? Because he was screwing your wife?
- Andre Layton: No, because he was a Wilford informant.
- Roche: Layton has the description of a man who was with Sean Wise just before he was murdered.
- Melanie Cavill: But?
- Andre Layton: Oh, I'm not gonna tell you till you let me go see Josie in the Tail.
- Andre Layton: I saw Zarah. I had it all wrong in my head. This whole time, I've not been seeing what was right in front of my eyes. I miss you, Josie, and I am so sorry.
- Josie Wellstead: Me, too. I miss you, too.
