A Call to Resist Oppression

Katniss Everdeen I want the rebels to know that I'm alive. That I'm in District 8 where the Capitol just bombed a hospital filled with unarmed men, women and children. And there will be no survivors. If you think for one second that the Capitol will ever treat us fairly you are lying to yourselves. Because we know who they are and what they do. This is what they do! And we must fight back. I have a message for President Snow. You can torture us and bomb us and burn our districts to the ground. But do you see that? Fire is catching. And if we burn, you burn with us!

Frustration in the Face of Indifference

Dr. Randall Mindy I did everything I could. They won't listen.

Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe I'm starting to think you just like riling people up.

Dr. Randall Mindy I'm so sorry, Kate. Really, I am.

Kate Dibiasky Oh, Randall. God. Where's Brie Evantee? Shouldn't you two be playing footsie in a restaurant that only serves cubes and foam?

Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe Well, she ain't wrong. You did lose the thread in a big way.

Dr. Randall Mindy And what do you suggest we do? An online petition, huh? You want to hold... Get a mob and hold up picket signs? You wanna overthrow the government? I mean, look at this.

Kate Dibiasky I can't! My head is in a bag!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Preparing for Deadly Competitors in the Arena

Haymitch Abernathy Cashmere and Gloss, brother and sister, District 1. They won back-to-back games, Capitol favorites, lots of sponsors, they will be lethal. and the other half of the career pack, Brutus and Enobaria.

[points to a TV; TV changes]

Katniss Everdeen What's with her teeth?

Haymitch Abernathy She had them filed into fangs so she could rip people's throats out.

Peeta Mellark She's committed, I'll give her that.

Haymitch Abernathy Wiress and Beetee. Not fighters, but brilliant. And weird. Real tech-savvy. He won his games by electrocuting six tributes at once. The Morphlings, masters of camouflage. They won their games by hiding until everyone was dead. Self medicating ever since, which I applaud; not a threat.

[TV changes; TV changes; TV changes to Finnick Odair]

Katniss Everdeen Finnick Odair, right?

Haymitch Abernathy Yes he won his games at 14, youngest ever. Extremely humble.

Katniss Everdeen You're kidding.

Haymitch Abernathy Yes I'm kidding, he's a peacock. A total preener. But he's the Capitol darling, they love him here. Charming, smart, and very skilled in combat, especially in water.

Peeta Mellark Any weaknesses?

Haymitch Abernathy One. Mags. She volunteered for Annie. Mags was his mentor and basically raised him. If he's trying to protect her in any way, it exposes him.

Katniss Everdeen A guy like that should know she's not going to make it. I bet when it really comes down to it, he won't protect her.

Haymitch Abernathy Well, Katniss, I hope when she goes, she goes quickly. She's actually a wonderful lady.

A Sister's Promise in The Hunger Games

Caesar Flickerman That was really something. Katniss, that was something. That was something. Thank you for that. I have one more question for you. It's about your sister. We were all very moved, I think, when you volunteered at the Reaping. Did she come and say goodbye to you?

[''after seeing Katniss’s flaming dress'']

Katniss Everdeen Yes. She did.

Flickerman And what did you say to her, in the end?

Katniss Everdeen I told her I would try to win. That I would try to win, for her.

Flickerman Of course you did. And try you will. Ladies and gentlemen, from District 12, Katniss Everdeen, The Girl On Fire!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

A Conversation on Honesty and Power

President Snow Such bravery. Such spirit. Such... contempt.

[observing a video of Katniss's actions in the Hunger Games]

Katniss Everdeen President Snow. What an honor.

President Snow My dear, I think we can make this so much simpler if we agree not to lie to each other. What do you think?

Katniss Everdeen Yes, I think that would save time.

President Snow Sit down, please.

President Snow I have a problem, Miss Everdeen. A problem that began the moment you revealed those poisoned berries in the arena. If that Head Game-Maker Seneca Crane had had any brains at all, he would have blown you to bits then and there. But here you are. I expect you can guess where he is.

Katniss Everdeen Yes, I think so.

President Snow And after that fiasco, there was nothing left to do but let you play out your little scenario. And you were very good. That whole love-crazed, besotted schoolgirl routine. Impressive. Truly. You convinced the people in the Capitol. Unfortunately, not everyone in the Districts fell for it. I mean, you can't know this, but in several of them, people viewed your little trick with the berries as an act of defiance, not as an act of love. And if a girl from District 12, of all places, can defy the Capitol and walk away unharmed, what is to prevent them from doing the same? What is to prevent, say, an uprising? That can lead to revolution. And then in a fraction of time, the whole system collapses.

[smiles]

Katniss Everdeen It must be a fragile system if it can be brought down by just a few berries.

President Snow Yes, it is indeed. But not in the way you imagine it.

Katniss Everdeen How should I imagine it?

President Snow You should imagine thousands upon thousands of your people dead. This town of yours, reduced to ashes. Imagine it gone. Made radioactive. Buried under dirt like it had never existed, like District 13. You fought very hard in the Games, Miss Everdeen. But they were games. Would you like to be in a real war?

[pauses, looking at Katniss pointedly]

Katniss Everdeen No.

President Snow Good. Neither would I. Did your mother make these?

[picks up a biscuit from the desk]

Katniss Everdeen Peeta.

President Snow Ah. He's a lovely boy, isn't he? Tell me, at what point did he realize the depth of your...indifference towards him?

[smiles cruelly]

Katniss Everdeen I'm not indifferent.

President Snow Don't lie! You promised.

[Eats biscuit]

Katniss Everdeen Why don't you just kill me now?

President Snow ...I don't want to kill you. I want us to be friends. But if not friends, then allies.

Katniss Everdeen What do I need to do?

President Snow When you and Peeta are on tour, you need to smile. You need to be grateful. But above all, you need to be madly, prepared-to-end-it-all in love. Do you think you can handle that?

Katniss Everdeen Yes.

President Snow Yes", what?

Katniss Everdeen I'll convince them.

President Snow No. Convince me.

Debating Certainty in Crisis Management

President Orlean Mmm-hmm. So how certain is this?

Dr. Randall Mindy There's 100% certainty of impact.

President Orlean Please, don't say 100%.

Old Aide #2 Can we just call it a potentiality significant event?

President Orlean Yeah.

Kate Dibiasky But it isn't potentially going to happen. It is going to happen.

Dr. Randall Mindy Exactly, 99.78% to be exact.

Jason Orlean Oh, great. Okay, so it's not 100%.

Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe Well, scientists never like to say 100%.

President Orlean Call it 70% and let's just move on.

Kate Dibiasky But it's not even close to 70%.

President Orlean You cannot go around saying to people that there's 100% chance that they're going to die. You know? It's just nuts.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2

Deception and Manipulation in Power Struggles

President Snow That's a nice one. The colors are lovely, of course. But nothing says perfection like white. I was hoping you would find your way here. So many things we should discuss... but, I have a feeling your visit will be brief, so, first things first. I wanted to tell you how very sorry I am about your sister. So wasteful. So unnecessary. Anyone could see the game was over by that point. In fact I was just about issue an official surrender when they released those parachutes.

[Katniss looks up, startled; coughs roughly]

Katniss Everdeen You released those parachutes.

[bitterly]

President Snow You really think I gave the order? We both know I'm not above killing children, but I'm not wasteful. I take life for specific reasons, and there was no reason for me to destroy a pen full of Capitol children. None at all. I must concede, it was a masterful move on Coin's part. The idea that I was bombing our own helpless children to hold back the rebels. It turned the last of my guards against me. There was no resistance left inside the Capitol or the mansion. Do you know it aired live? There's a particular savvy in that, isn't there? I'm sure she wasn't gunning for your sister, but... these things happen in war. My failure was in being so slow to grasp Coin's plan. She let the Capitol and the Districts destroy one another, then she stepped in to take power with 13's arsenal. Oh, make no mistake, she intends to take my place now. But... I've been watching you. And you watching me. I'm afraid we've both been played for fools.

[coughs up blood]

Katniss Everdeen I don't believe you.

[shakes her head]

President Snow Oh, my dear Miss Everdeen. I thought we'd agreed never to lie to each other.
