Mondays 9:00 PM on TNTSnowpiercer Season 1 Episode 2: "Prepare to Brace" Quotes
You'd think, with all we've lost, defeat would break us. But the only reason we're here is we refuse to die in the first place. We're as persistent as the cold, forever trapped beneath the ice. We keep our eyes on the floor, dig our nails in, and prepare to brace.

They can take our limbs, our children, our leaders. They keep trying to take our dignity. But any survivor will tell you they checked their dignity at death's door. The more they steal from us, the more human we become. Humanity will fill our bellies one day. When we eat the rich of Snowpiercer, one thousand and one cars long.

Cavill: Javi, I can't announce blackouts. Not today.
Javi: Well, you can slow for safety or you can have electricity.
L.J.: There's a policeman in The Tail?
Erik: There's a bit of everything back there.
My family may not think I'm capable, Melanie, but The Freeze taught us all we have the capacity to kill.

Layton: I've been wondering for a long time what exactly it is you do up here in the Night Car.
Miss Audry: We offer epiphanies, darling.
The Night Car'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.

Dr. Pelton: You're not saying this is cannibalism?
Till: No, we don't do that up here. We've 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. Anyway, your lunch was good?
Josie: Do you remember your mom, Miles?
Miles: Uh, I remember she smelled good.
Josie: That's all?
Miles: I only remember the train.
Cavill: What do you see when you look at this train?
Layton: I see a fortress to class.
Cavill: Is that all? I see three thousand souls surviving. On a planet 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.
Y'all got killers and cannibals and god knows what else up here so don't you lecture me about balance. My people found ours years ago.
Layton
