Nic Thanks, Laser.

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.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Sacrifices and Survival in the Arena

Peeta Mellark Katniss, I don't know what kind of deals you made with Haymitch, but he made me promises too. If you die, and I live, I'd have nothing. Nobody else that I care about.

[pulls off the locket around her neck]

Katniss Everdeen Peeta...

Peeta Mellark It's different for you. Your family needs you. You have to live. For them.

[opens locket to see three pictures - Gale, Prim, and Mrs. Everdeen]

Katniss Everdeen What about you?

Peeta Mellark No one needs me.

[smiles sadly]

Katniss Everdeen I do. I need you.

Johanna Mason Alright, lovebirds!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Threats and Loyalties in a Dystopian World

Peeta Mellark They won't touch Prim.

Johanna Mason Your fiancé's right. The whole country loves your sister. If they torture her, or do anything to her... Forget the districts. There would be...riots in the damn Capitol. Hey, how does that sound, Snow? What if we... What if we set your backyard on fire? You can't put everybody in here! What? He can't hurt me. There's nobody left that I love.

The Hunger Games

Peeta's Secret Crush Revealed on Live TV

Caesar Flickerman So Peeta, tell me. Is there a special girl back home?

Peeta Mellark No. No, not really.

Flickerman No? I don't believe it for a second, look at that face! Handsome man like you! Peeta. Tell me.

Peeta Well, there, uh... There is this one girl that I've had a crush on forever. But I don’t think she actually recognised me until the Reaping.

Flickerman Well, I'll tell you what, Peeta. You go out there, and you win this thing, and when you get home- she'll have to go out with you! Right folks?

Peeta Thanks, but I, uh- I don't think winning's gonna help me at all.

Flickerman And why not?

Peeta Because she came here with me.

Flickerman Well, that's bad luck.

[dismayed]

Peeta Yeah, it is.

Flickerman And I wish you all the best of luck.

Peeta Thank you.

Flickerman Peeta Mellark! District 12!

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

Conflicting Dreams and Loyalties Among Friends

Darren Look, I didn't mean to hurt anybody.

Steve Who cares what you meant to do? What you did was take my place. That was my dream.

Darren Steve, what are you doin with him?

Steve Who? Murlaugh? Come on, man, he's not as bad as he looks. For one thing, he didn't say I had bad blood, like Crepsley. And for another thing, they didn't lie to me. And you know what? They think I'm awesome! They say I have a destiny, or whatever. Look at you. Who wants to be a vampire anyways? Vampires suck. Vampeneze rule!

Murlaugh Juicy!

[''Looking at Mrs. Shan'']

Steve First guy I killed, Mr. Kersey. Blood, just gets me goin', you know what I mean?

Darren I wouldn't know, I haven't been drinking any.

Steve I know you; always trying to look Mr. Goody Two-Shoes, all the time. I bet you'll resist drinking blood, and resist drinking it, and resist drinking it. And then at the last second, you'll become this total bloodhound! All right, man, here's the deal. See, the fact guy, he still wants you on the team. And despite everything else, you are still my best friend. So I tell you what, I'll make you a deal that might just save your ass. If you kill your family, I'll let the freak go. Wait, my bad, that's backwards. If you kill the freak, I'll let your family live.

[''Laughs'']

Murlaugh What? Let the juicy one go?

Steve Hey. Look, man, it's part of the plan. Talk to Mr. Tiny. So whaddya say? Oh, you gotta drink her blood, too. You can do her in with this.

[''Same whisper voice'']

Darren Shan No.

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

Betrayal and Ambition in Dark Relationships

Mr. Tiny Careful. The first step is a big one. Oh, I know. You miss- the one known as Darren. You feel betrayed, abandoned- you're a loyal friend. Unlike him.

[''Pauses'']

Steve Darren was a loyal friend.

Mr. Tiny Oh, really? What if I told you he's still alive? He's taken your place, stealing your dreams! Oh, I know. You dream of killing people, drinking their blood! You dream of leading a great, bloodthirsty army!

Steve Who the hell are you?

Mr. Tiny I'm Mr. Tiny.

Steve Are you a vampire?

Mr. Tiny Oh, I'm not a vampire. I'm not a vampeneze. I'm... an aficionado. I want to see a marvelous war!

Steve What do you want from me, you freak?

Mr. Tiny Oh, I'm not a freak. I despise freaks! Can a freak travel back and forth between life and death? I think not. Can a freak create new life from rotting flesh and souls? Please! Can a freak bring about the Apocalypse, and rule the world? No. Sadly neither can I. Not without help.

Confrontation in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Romulus Thread Move. You want another?

[''raises his whip'']

Katniss Everdeen Go ahead.

Haymitch Abernathy Whoah, whoah, whoah!

[''hurrying in between them'']

Romulus Thread Get out of my way!

[''aims at Haymitch'']

Haymitch Abernathy Y-you don't wanna shoot her.

Romulus Thread How bout I shoot both of ya?

Haymitch Abernathy Look, Commander, you're new here. Trust me, I'm trying to help. I'm Haymitch. You recognize her? Katniss Everdeen? Darling of the Capitol?

Romulus Thread She interfered with a Peacekeeper.

Haymitch Abernathy I never said she was smart! Look, I- you already got a couple of lashes in-

Romulus Thread That's not good enough; she's an agitator!

[''jerks his pistol to the right as Peeta approaches him'']

Peeta Mellark Easy. Easy.

Haymitch Abernathy Look, you sure Snow wants three dead Victors here? Cause that's what we're looking at. It's bad enough that you marked up her face on the eve of the big wedding. Let it go. And we will, too.

Romulus Thread All right. Okay. But next time, it's the firing squad.

Haymitch Abernathy Excellent idea.

Romulus Thread I don't care who she is. Clear the square! You’re all under curfew! Anyone out after dark will be shot on sight! Get em outta here.

[shouting angrily; turns to the crowd, still shouts; ''turns back to Haymitch'']

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2

Love, Sacrifice, and Complicated Relationships

Gale Hawthorne I should've volunteered to take your place in the first Games.

Peeta Mellark No, you couldn't have. No, she never would have forgiven you. She needed you to be there and take care of her family, and you did. She can't lose you. She really loves you.

Gale Hawthorne And the way she kissed you in the Quarter Quell. She never kissed me like that.

Peeta Mellark Oh, just part of the show.

Gale Hawthorne No. No, you won her over. You gave up everything for her. Well, it's not gonna be an issue much longer. I doubt all three of us are gonna make it out of this. And if we do, then... it's her problem who to choose, right?

Peeta Mellark Yeah.

Gale Hawthorne I do know that Katniss will pick whoever she can't live without.

The Rules of Vampirism Explained

Larten Crepsley Now, are you mentally unfit? Didn't you hear me threaten you at the show?

Steve I did. It was awesome. You see, I want this. I want you to make me into a vampire. Vampires- they don't take crap from anybody. They live by their own set of rules.

Larten Crepsley It's true; they do have their own rules. We wrote some of them.

Gavner Purl And one of those rules is: "Children can't become vampires.

Steve Look- blood!

[Holds out a small cut on his hand]

Larten Crepsley Blood! You see Gavner! Blood... Look. If you become a vampire, you have to leave your friends, and your family; it's deeply depressing. Trust me. Now get out of here!

[Wide-eyed; Crepsley drops the act and gives Steve a deadpan expression.]

Steve I haven't seen my dad in years. My mom's drunk all the time. I absolutely hate my life! I've never actually said it before, but it's the truth. This is what I was meant for.

Larten Crepsley What you were meant for? Well, if that's the case, let's test your blood.

Gavner Purl Larten...

Larten Crepsley Who sent you here? Your blood tastes of evil. You can never be a vampire.

Steve What, I have... bad blood? I'm never gonna forget this. One day, I promise you, I will hunt you down-

[''In disbelief, then anger'']

Larten Crepsley And what? Kill me? You know how easily I could kill you. I could do it tonight. I could knock you out, and lay you in front of a bus, and no one would ever know!

Gavner Purl Calm down; save that stuff for the enemy! He's just an idiot kid! Who should be leaving, right now, while he still can.

[''Quietly, looking at Steve'']

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2

The Meaning of Death and Choice

Peeta Mellark What do all those deaths mean? They mean that our lives were never ours. There was no real life because we didn't have any choice. Our lives belong to Snow and our deaths do, too. But if you kill him, Katniss, if you end all of this, all those deaths - they mean something.

The Hunger Games

Fear of Losing One's Identity

Peeta Mellark I just don't want them to change me.

Katniss Everdeen How will they change you?

Peeta Mellark I don't know. Turn me into something I'm not. I just don't want to be another piece in their game, you know?

Katniss Everdeen You mean you won't kill anyone?

Peeta Mellark No... I mean, I'm sure I would just like anyone else when the time came but I just keep wishing I could think of a way to show them, that they don't own me. If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me.

Katniss Everdeen Yeah... I just can't afford to think like that.

Peeta Mellark Yeah, I know.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Tributes Seek Allies in the Arena

Haymitch Abernathy Good news. At least half the tributes want you as allies.

Peeta Mellark They saw her shoot.

Haymitch Abernathy Well, sweetheart, you got your pick of the litter.

Katniss Everdeen I want Wiress and Beetee.

Peeta Mellark Johanna calls them "Nuts" and "Volts".

Haymitch Abernathy OK, good. Who else?

Katniss Everdeen Mags. All right, fine. Then no one.

[Peeta turns away in disapproval]

Haymitch Abernathy I'll tell them you're still making up your mind.
