Edgar: How old is Gilliam? Curtis: Shut up, Edgar. Edgar: Listen, I'm not saying that I want that to happen. That's not what I'm saying. What I mean is that he will die someday. And when that happens, you're gonna have to take over. You're gonna have to run the train. Curtis: I'm not a leader. Edgar: I don't know. I think you'd be pretty good if you ask me.

Edgar: Those bastards in the front sections think they own us. Eating their steak dinners and listening to string quartets and that. Curtis: We'll be different when we get there. Edgar: I want steak...What does steak taste like again? I had it once, but I can't remember. Curtis: If you can't remember then it's better to forget. Edgar: What does it smell like when it's cooked? It must emanate around the place.

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 him to cooperate, he can take us 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.

Mason: He won't come here. He won't leave his engine. Curtis: We're gonna rip you into little pieces. He still won't come? Well, we control the water. We turn that off, he'll have to come. Mason: Turn off the water? Well, you'll only be condemning your own people. The water comes from the front. The nose of the train, it breaks up the snow and ice and-and turns it into water. It's like an elephant's trunk. The water comes in the mouth. Not in the bum, Curtis. [seeing him react] Yes, Wilford knows you well, Mr. Curtis Everett. He's been watching you. And we know you won't harm your own people. Too bad you couldn't save your second in command. What was his name? Edgar? Curtis: Shut the fuck up! Mason: Curtis, Curtis, I can help you. Curtis: You can fucking die is what you can do. Mason: Wilford won't come here. He's not coming. You've got to go to him. And I can take you. I know the train. I can guarantee you safe passage. Curtis: Why the fuck would I trust you? Mason: Because I want to

Mason: [as sushi is prepared] You people are very lucky. This is only served twice in a year. In January and July. Tanya: Why? Not enough fish? Mason: Oh, enough is not the criterion. Balance. You see, this aquarium is a closed ecological system. And, um, the number of individual units must be very closely, precisely controlled. In order to maintain the proper sustainable balance. Curtis: No. You eat this. You know what that's made of? Dig in.
