i don’t know who jamie bennett is

“You missed me, kid. Here - I brought you some hot chocolate to warm your cold, dead heart. You’re welcome.”

“-Nah, I’m just playin’. Actually, on my last visit, I believe her words were ‘whatever you’re doing, leave your sister out of it’. Which, you know...Breaking rules is what I do best.”

Teenage Sophie: Jack, can we still play? 

“Kind of nice to hear that from you for once.”

“Well I don’t care what either of you say - I’m installing a slide off the back of the caboose if it’s the last thing I do.”

“Not at all! I’m saying you’re easily excitable and jump head first into everything. Which can be good, if a little worrying sometimes.”

“Pff - then you’ve got nothing to worry about! The only things I jump head first into are snow and the opportunity for a good time.”

“Oh, James. I’m honestly a bit scared of you being in charge of things.”

“Are you saying you question North’s judgement?’

“Please tell me personal morals and obligations are still in place in this scenario?”

‘Whatever that means’.

     “Rule number one: it’s not ‘illegal’ if it’s on the Polar Express.”

“I don’t- Jamie, I don’t think that’s the best policy to have. That’s a wide open door to trouble.”

     “Ok, ok, but consider this - what if it only applies to me? I am the Conductor, after all. And you, probably. Anyone else who violates international laws can be thrown off the train.”

             “I was made first. He gets all the attention and glory for what I’ve                been doing since before he was even a thought. He even gets to                be some super special guardian! And that’s just not fair. You sound                like those dumb spring spirits who are total winter-haters!”

     “Listen, kid - you’ve got it all wrong! First of all, I may be stupid, but I’m not dumb! Secondly, I love winter; otherwise, I wouldn’t have upped and moved to the North Pole. It’s just...not always as fun as when I was kid. Now Jack...The reason he got to become a Guardian isn’t just because he can create snow. The Moon chose him for other reasons. It’s like with humans - we all apply for jobs so we can make money, but not everyone gets that job.”
