The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 - A Toast to Miscalculated Strategies
President Snow: [''stands up'']
A toast.
Antonius:
The death of the Mockingjay, sir. If Peeta didn't kill her, her own arrogance did.
President Snow: [''drinks, sits down'']
Of course. That's the same facile thinking that led you to divert our best Peacekeepers into District 2. You have a habit of burying people before they're dead. If the Mockingjay were gone, the rebels would already be using her as a martyr. No, Minister Antonius, I'm afraid that is not what we were toasting at all.
Antonius:
Sir, the rebels can be held off out-
President Snow: [''silences him''; Antonius begins choking, poisoned]
The rebels will reach the outskirts of the Capitol in a matter of days. We'll evacuate the outer blocks to let them in. I want all anti-aircraft defenses ready, so we're secure from the skies. Lure them into the city, and then our Gamemakers will make them pay for every inch with blood. I want every camera watching. We'll turn their advance into a celebration of suffering. Let each moment be captured for all posterity. So, what did we toast tonight, Minister Antonius? We toasted a glorious era- coming to its bitter end.
