The Aftermath of the Arrow Incident
Cressida:
So I wanna start with you in front of the Justice Building, okay? Bang. First shot. Katniss, tell us what happened here.
Gale:
We were all standing right here watching the Games when you fired that arrow. The screens just went dark. Nobody had any idea what happened. Peacekeepers forced us back into our homes. For maybe an hour, the town was just dead quiet. Little past 9:00, we heard their trucks pulling out. All of them. Every single Peacekeeper. And I knew what that meant. Me and a couple of guys from the mines, we started pulling people from their houses and tried to get em to the fence line but a lotta people were scared of the forest. So they headed up onto the road. Make a break for it that way.
Cressida: [''To Pollux'']
Stay with Gale.
Gale:
915 of us made it to the fence. Then we watched as... bombers circled back towards the road. They firebombed them as they ran away. 915 outta 10,000. I should've grabbed people. I should've dragged em with me. Some of the kids I could've carried.
Cressida:
You saved so many people, Gale. Without you, there would be no District 12. Not even the memory of it.
Gale:
This is where you kissed me.
Katniss:
I didn't think you remembered that.
Gale:
I'd have to be dead to forget that. Maybe not even then. I knew you'd do that.
Katniss:
How? I didn't.
Gale:
Cause I'm in pain. That's the only way that I can get your attention. Don't worry, Katniss. It'll pass.

Complex Emotions Amidst Political Tension
Gale: [''Heading into elevator'']
They want us back. They asked us to head for Command.
Katniss: [''They enter room with TV on'']
All right. I gotta drop these off.
Caesar: [''On TV'']
She was arguably our favorite Tribute. And I think that's what we all find most astonishing, is that this girl was adored in the Capitol. And I think for you, Peeta, it must be particularly painful.
Peeta:
I wish I could give this rose to you, Katniss.
Katniss:
He's changed so much already. What are they doing to him?
Caesar:
A sweet gesture for a girl who has inspired such violence. You must love her very much to be able to forgive her.
Katniss:
He's shaking.
Caesar:
I don't think that I could. Unless, of course, Peeta, you think that perhaps she's being forced into saying things that she doesn't even understand.
Peeta:
Yeah, that's exactly what I think.
Katniss:
Even his voice is different.
Peeta:
I think they're using her to whip up the rebels. I doubt she even knows what's happening. And what's really at stake.
Caesar:
Now, Peeta, I doubt that the rebels will ever let her see this. But if they do, what would you say to her? To Katniss Everdeen, the once sweet Katniss Everdeen. What would you say to her?
Peeta:
I would... I would tell her to think for herself. Yes. Don't be a fool, Katniss. I know you never wanted the rebellion. The things that you did in the Games were never intended to start all of this. The rebels have made you into something that you're not. Something that could destroy all of us. So if you have any power or any say in what they do or how they use you, please, please, urge them to stop this war before it's too late. And ask yourself, can you trust the people you're working with? Do you know what they really want?
Gale: [to Katniss]
We need to respond.
Caesar:
Thank you, Peeta Mellark, for these revelations about the real Mockingjay.
Katniss: [to Gale]
Did you see what he looks like?
Gale:
I saw a coward.
Katniss:
You don't have any idea what he's going through.
Gale:
I don't care. I would never say what he just said. Not if they tortured me. Not with a gun to my head.
Katniss:
That is the same Peeta that defended you at the whipping post.
Gale:
No, it's not. Now he's only defending himself. Coin's called a meeting. We need to respond.
Katniss:
When did "we" become you and Coin?
Gale:
Everyone has a choice. How can he sit there in the Capitol and defend the people who destroyed his home and murdered his family?
Katniss:
He doesn't know. How could he? Nobody's seen what the Capitol did to 12. I have to show them.

Hunting Above Ground Permission Granted
Gale:
I got good news.
Katniss:
What?
Gale:
Coin agreed to let us hunt above ground.
Katniss: [''Aiming her bow at an elk'']
He's not even afraid of us.
Gale:
It's cause they've never been hunted before.
Katniss:
It's almost not fair.

By order of President Snow daily production quotas have been increased. All work shifts will be extended by an extra two hours. Failure to meet these quotas will not be tolerated. By order of President Snow daily production quotas have been increased.

Finding Strength in Unity Amidst Loss
Finnick:
You don't like hearing a fight song at a funeral? The more people on our side, the closer we are to Peeta and Annie.
Katniss:
Yeah.

Unity and Sacrifice in Rebellion
President Coin: [''All District 13 workers chant "hoorah"'']
There is no progress without compromise. No victory without sacrifice. But I stand here with The Mockingjay to announce that our moment has arrived. Beetee has increased our use of the airwaves tenfold. We will broadcast this message to all the districts tonight. The Mockingjay's words inspiring everyone to join the rebellion. Together, we will become an alliance to be reckoned with.

Concerns About District Broadcasts and Impact
Gale:
Your mom's gonna be proud of you when she sees the footage. Will this play in the districts?
Cressida:
It'll be tattooed on their eyes.
Boggs:
There's a problem.
Gale:
What kinda problem?
Boggs:
Incoming bombers from the north. We need to find cover now.
Paylor:
There's a bunker in there.
Boggs: [''Katniss and Gale are observing incoming bomber planes from a wall hole'']
Gale, back away from the wall!
Katniss:
You okay?
Boggs: [''A smokestack is falling towards Katniss and Gale'']
Move!
Gale:
They're going after something to the south.
Katniss:
That's towards the hospital.
Katniss: [''Planes drop bombs''; ''Planes come over Katniss and Gale who implode one with one crashing into the other then crashing into a smokestack which falls into the hospital'']
They're circling back around. Come on! That's the hospital. They're targeting the hospital.
Cressida:
Katniss? Katniss, can you tell everyone what you're seeing right now? Katniss, what do you wanna say?

Targeting the Wounded in Conflict
General:
Sir, some cameras were damaged in the bombings, but we confirmed it's her.
President Snow:
Zoom in.
General:
She was visiting a makeshift hospital. We're not sure if she's still there. We can scramble hovercraft from the border of 11. We may be able to target her.
President Snow:
Kill the wounded.
Egeria:
Sir...
President Snow:
You wrote that speech yourself, Egeria. Any association with the Mockingjay symbol is forbidden. Everyone inside that hospital has committed treason. Show them what it costs to be friends with Katniss Everdeen.

Hope Amidst Despair in District 8
Boggs:
This has gotta be fast. In and out. Move out.
Paylor:
You're alive then. We weren't sure.
Boggs:
Katniss, Commander Paylor, District 8. Katniss has been recovering, but she insisted on coming out, and seein some of your wounded.
Paylor: [''Entering hospital'']
Well, we've got plenty of those. We have a mass grave a few blocks west, but, I can't spare the manpower to move them yet. Hospital's past that curtain. Any hope you can give them, it's worth it. The Capitol's done everything they can to break us.
Boggs:
Aren't you worried about having all your wounded in one place?
Paylor:
I think it's better than leaving them to die.
Boggs:
That's not what I meant.
Paylor:
Well, that's my only other option. If you can come up with another, I'm all ears. It's right through here.
Katniss:
Don't film me in there. I can't help them.
Cressida:
Just let them see your face.
Woman 1:
Katniss Everdeen? What are you doing here?
Katniss:
I came to see you.
Woman 2:
What about the baby?
Katniss:
I lost it.
Man:
Are you fighting, Katniss? You here to fight with us?
Katniss: [''Man does Mockingjay salute with the rest of the fighters joining in'']
I am. I will.
Cressida: [''Pollux, who's filming'']
Tighter. Tighter, tighter.

Strategic Decisions in a Time of Crisis
Katniss: [''Boggs is leading Katniss through a hangar filled with air-to-surface bombs'']
You had all of this and you just left the districts to fend for themselves?
Boggs:
It's not that simple, Katniss. We barely survived. We weren't in any kind of shape to launch a counter-attack. Yeah, we could've bombed the Capitol but they would've retaliated with at least twice the firepower. Then what? There would've been nobody left to claim victory.
Katniss:
Sounds like exactly what Peeta said and then you all called him a traitor.
Boggs:
This way, soldier. You are camera-ready.
Effie:
Doesn't your comrade look handsome?
Boggs: [''Katniss walks onto plane'']
Let's go.
Effie:
Come back safe.
Plutarch:
Quick introductions, Katniss. These people have come a long way to support the cause. This is Cressida. In my opinion one of the best up-and-coming directors in the Capitol.
Cressida:
Until I up and left. Hey.
Boggs:
Hey. Let's see what you can do. Be careful. This is my assistant, Messalla.
Messalla:
It's an honour to meet you.
Boggs:
And your cameramen over there, Castor.
Castor:
Hello.
Boggs:
And Pollux. Let's get locked in.
Katniss:
You're all from the Capitol? Plutarch got you out?
Cressida:
Don't expect much chitchat from him. He's an Avox. Capitol cut his tongue out years ago. And, no, it wasn't any sort of rescue, if that's what you mean. We all fled on our own. For this. For you.

Beetee Presents Katniss with Color-Coded Weapons
Beetee: [''Gale aims his archery bow at a target igniting it and Beetee says to Katniss''; ''Hands her an archery bow'']
I've made you some surprises. Maybe you wanna try one out. If you're gonna be a part of Katniss propos team, you may as well look the part. And this one, is for you. Plutarch wanted you to have a weapon for the sake of the propos but... I couldn't just make you a fashion accessory.
Katniss:
It's beautiful.
Beetee: [''Katniss aims her bow at a target'']
And look here. Regular. Incendiary. Explosive arrows. All color-coded. And tell Finnick I've got a trident for him when he's ready. Might just cheer him... Cheer him up. Let's not fire the red ones in here.

Memorable Moments from the Reaping
Effie: [''In response to Haymitch after the rebel leaders watch a propaganda clip of Katniss'']
When she volunteered her sister at the Reaping.
Haymitch: [''Wiping off information of a electronic touch screen''; ''Writing a note'']
Excellent example. Okay. I hope that wasn't important. Okay. "Volunteer for sister". Good. What else?
Effie:
When she sang that song for little Rue.
Haymitch:
Oh, yeah. Who didn't get choked up at that? You know, I like you better, Effie, without all that makeup.
Effie:
Well, I like you better sober.
Haymitch:
When she chose Rue as an ally as well.
Effie:
Yes.
Haymitch:
Now, what do all of these have in common?
Gale:
No one told what to do.
Beetee:
Unscripted, yes. So maybe we should just leave her alone.
Boggs:
And wash her face. She's still a girl. You made her look 35.
Plutarch:
The opportunities for spontaneity are obviously lacking underground. So what you're suggesting is we toss her into combat?
President Alma:
I can't sanction putting an untrained civilian in battle just for effect. This is not the Capitol.
Haymitch:
That is exactly what I'm suggesting. Put her in the field.
President Alma:
No, we can't protect her.
Haymitch:
It has to come from her. That's what people respond to. You want a symbol for the revolution? She cannot be coached into it. Trust me, I know. Maybe there's someplace less dangerous.
Beetee:
District 8. They reported heavy bombing last month. There are no military targets left.
President Alma:
We can't guarantee her safety.
Katniss:
You'll never be able to guarantee my safety. I wanna go.
President Alma:
And if you're killed?
Katniss: [''Plutarch scoffs'']
Make sure you get it on camera.

Preparing for a Powerful Moment
Plutarch: [''Entering control board room of a studio'']
Okay. Bring up the lights.
Effie: [''Walks up to Katniss holding up a Mockingjay brooch''; ''Attaches the brooch on Katniss in a film studio''; ''Walks away'']
Cinna's final touch. Everyone's gonna either wanna kiss you, kill you or be you. Perfect.
Plutarch: [''Fans start up'']
Absolutely perfect. Okay. Bring up the setting. Little wind. Okay Katniss, we're gonna start you down on one knee. And as you rise up, you're gonna hold your flag in the air and deliver your line. And remember, you've just stormed the outskirts of the Capitol. Arm-in-arm with your brother and sisters.
Katniss:
Okay.
Plutarch:
Whenever you're ready.
Katniss: [''In a lackluster tone'']
People of Panem, we fight, we dare, we...
Plutarch:
Does she know the line?
Katniss:
I know it. I got it. I'm sorry.
Plutarch:
Okay, alright. Let's do it again.
Effie:
She's warming up.
Plutarch:
All right. With energy. Go.
Katniss: [''In a lackluster tone'']
People of Panem, we fight! We dare to end this hunger for justice!
Plutarch:
You've just been in battle! I'm sorry. Excuse my outburst. You've just been in battle. Let's try it again. Whenever you're ready.
Katniss: [''In an increased passionate tone'']
People of Panem, we fight! We dare to end this hunger for justice!
Haymitch: [''Appears clapping slowly''; ''Katniss stares silently''; ''Blows nose'']
And that, my friends, is how a revolution dies. Hello, Katniss. This how you greet an old friend?
Katniss:
Maybe I don't recognize you sober.
Haymitch:
I guess it looks as bad as it feels.

Political Refugees Reflect on Their New Reality
Katniss: [''Runs up to Effie in cafeteria''; ''They embrace in hug'']
Effie? What are you doing here?
Effie:
I'm a political refugee.
Katniss:
Plutarch rescued you?
Effie: [''Extends a handshake to Gale''; ''Produces a binder of fashion sketches and hands it to Katniss'']
Rescued, yes, that's what he calls it. You and I were both in the dark. Now I'm condemned to this life of jumpsuits. It is wonderful to see you again. Can you believe this place? I miss coffee. I never knew anyplace could be so strict. I mean, at least, in the higher ranks there'd be some... side action. I miss my wigs. Luckily, I remembered that this was all the rage when I was coming up. You know, everything old can be made new again. Like democracy. Which brings me to this.
Katniss: [''Perusing binder sketches'']
Cinna. He's dead, isn't he?
Effie:
Yes, dear. He made Plutarch promise you not to show you this until you'd decided to be the Mockingjay on your own. He knew the risks. As we all do. He believed in this revolution. He believed in you.
Katniss:
They're beautiful.
Effie:
They have it. They have the Mockingjay outfit. There's not much of a prep team here in 13 but we will make you the best-dressed rebebl in history.

Loss and Resilience in a Time of Crisis
President Alma: [''Making a speech to District 12 workers'']
Good afternoon. Thank you for interrupting your schedules. They have already been adjusted to compensate...
Katniss: [''To Primrose'']
I hardly ever see any children around here.
President Alma:
...please check in with your unit...
Primrose: [''Katniss spots Finnick and walks over to him'']
A lot of them were lost in an epidemic a few years ago. Coin lost her family too. Daughter and her husband.
President Alma:
...and our welcome guests from 12. Katniss Everdeen has consented to be the face of our cause, to help unite the Districts against the Capitol. In exchange, I have promised several concessions. First, we'll assess all opportunities for the extraction of the Victors held in the Capitol. Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason,
Katniss: [''To Finnick'']
Finnick, I made the deal for Annie, too.
President Alma: [''There's an uproar amidst the workers'']
...and Annie Cresta. Once freed, they will be granted a full pardon for any and all crimes committed against the rebel cause.
Finnick: [''To Katniss'']
Good. That's good, Katniss.
President Alma: [''Walks over to Plutarch and Effie'']
If Katniss fails to fulfill her duties the deal will be off. Thank you for your attention. Please, resume your schedules.
Plutarch:
Madame President.
President Alma: [''To Plutarch'']
Effie Trinket. Welcome to 13.
Plutarch:
Madame President, may I say you are so very... concise.
President Alma:
You believe that there are more to be said?
Plutarch:
May I speak freely?
President Alma:
You don't appear to do anything else?
Plutarch:
I'm only talking about salesmanship. The thing with revolutions, they're a tender flame. They need to be nurtured with a little kindling and warmth. Bit of oxygen.
Effie:
Oxygen.
Plutarch:
One sure way to put it out is to smother it.
President Alma: [''Walks past them'']
Or to use up all the air in the room. Excuse me.
Effie: [''To Plutarch''; ''Pats his shoulder'']
You know what could use a revolution? That hair.

Effie and Plutarch Discuss Freedom and Mission
Effie: [''Plutarch opens her door'']
Go away. Is it visiting hours again?
Plutarch:
Miss Trinket, you see this door. It opens. From the inside. I've told you, these are the standard living quarters. Same as everyone. You're not a prisoner. You're free to join the rest of 13.
Effie:
Not looking like this. Thank you very much.
Plutarch:
We have a bigger issue than wardrobe, Miss Trinket. Katniss has agreed to be The Mockingjay.
Effie:
That poor thing.
Plutarch:
And your Girl on Fire is burnt out. I need you to join this team now. I need someone she trusts.
Effie:
What about Haymitch?
Plutarch:
He's drying out in some facility a mile down.
Plutarch:
Miss Trinket, your days in the Capitol are over, no matter what happens here. If you wanna play a prisoner of war, fine. Stay here and rot. I'll find someone else to be The Mockingjay's escort.
Effie:
Who?
Plutarch:
Anyone can be replaced.
Effie:
Not your Mockingjay. There isn't a soul in this dungeon who knows the first thing about Katniss. You honestly believe one of these cave dwellers is going to take my place? No.

Conditions for Becoming the Mockingjay
Katniss:
I've decided I will be your Mockingjay, but I have... some conditions. Peeta and the other Tributes, Johanna Mason and Annie Cresta, will be rescued at the earliest opportunity. If and when Peeta is liberated, he will receive a full and unconditional pardon, no punishment will be inflicted. And the same goes for the other Tributes.
President Coin:
No.
Katniss:
It's not their fault. You left them in the Arena. They're doing and saying whatever they can to survive.
President Coin:
Individuals don't make demands in Thirteen. There will be a tribunal, and a fair judgment. Thank you.
Katniss: [''Sternly'']
The victors will be granted immunity, and you will announce that in front of the entire population of 13. You will hold yourself and your government responsible, or you will find another Mockingjay.
Plutarch: [''Pleased'']
That's it! That's her! Right there! Isn't that what I promised you? Now if she wears the costume, gunfire in the background, a hint of smoke... Our Mockingjay. Madam President, we're losing ground because people are losing heart, this is worth the risk, she's worth the risk. Pardons, tribunals, power to the people, that can all be the bedrock for the new Panem, but with more time I think even the normal sub-causes can be bent a little bit, right?
President Coin: [''Swayed'']
Do you have any other conditions?
Katniss: [''Consults her note'']
My sister gets to keep her cat.

Facing Nightmares Together
Katniss:
No! No! No! I'm sorry. It's just a nightmare.
Peeta:
That's okay. I get em, too.
Katniss:
Peeta, will you stay with me?
Peeta:
Yeah. Always.
Primrose: [''Katniss wakes up and realizes Peeta was a dream'']
Hey. Can't sleep? Tell me what's happening. I'm good at keeping secrets. Even from Mum.
Katniss:
No one hates the Capitol more than me. And I wanna help. But I just keep thinking, even if we win this war, what happens to Peeta? I know he's not safe there, but he's definitely not safe here.
Primrose:
I don't think you know how important you are to them. If you want something, you just have to ask. You could demand almost anything. They'd have to agree to it.
Katniss:
I should wake you up more often, Little Duck. Get some sleep now. You, too.

Debating the Possibility of a Ceasefire
Katniss:
There can't be a ceasefire. Not after everything Snow's done.
Gale:
He could have done a lot of damage tonight. Most districts, people are still too afraid to join. They need the courage.
Katniss:
Why do you think he said that?
Gale:
I don't know. Maybe he was forced. He didn't look that bad. Maybe he made some kind of deal to protect you.
Katniss:
He's still playing the game.

Peeta's Revelation on the Quarter Quell
Gale: [''To Katniss in District 13 workers cafeteria '']
You should try to eat something.
Caesar:
Hello. Good evening. And a big welcome to all in Panem. I'm Caesar Flickerman. And whoever you are, whatever it is you're doing, if you're working, put down your work. If you're having dinner, stop having dinner. Because you are going to want to witness this tonight. There has been rampant speculation about what really happened in the Quarter Quell. And here to shed a little light on the subject for us is a very special guest. Please welcome Mr. Peeta Mellark. Peeta, a lot of people feel as though they are in the dark.
Peeta:
Yeah, I know how they feel.
Caesar:
Now, so set the stage for us. Talk us through what really happened on that final and controversial night.
Peeta:
Well, first off, you have to understand that when you're in the Games, you only get one wish. It's very costly.
Katniss:
You're alive.
Caesar:
It costs your life.
Peeta:
I think it costs more than your life.
Caesar:
How do you mean? What's more than your life?
Peeta:
I mean to murder innocent people, that costs everything that you are.
Caesar:
Yes.
Peeta:
So you hold on to that one wish. And that night my wish was to save Katniss.
Caesar:
Yes.
Peeta:
I should've just run off with her earlier in the day like she'd wanted.
Caesar:
But you didn't. Why? Were you caught up in Beetee's plan?
Peeta:
No, I was caught up trying to play allies. And then they separated us and... that's when I lost her. And then the lightning hit... and the whole force field around the arena just blew out.
Caesar:
Yes, but, Peeta, Katniss is the one who blew it out.
Peeta:
No.
Caesar:
You saw the footage.
Peeta:
No, she didn't know what she was doing. Neither of us knew there was a bigger plan going on. We had no idea.
Caesar:
You had no idea?
Peeta:
No.
Caesar:
All right. Well, Peeta, there are many who find this suspicious to say the least. It seems as though she was part of a rebel plan.
Peeta:
Do you think it was part of her plan to be almost killed by Johanna? Or part of the plan to be paralyzed by lightning? No, we were not part of any rebel plan. We had no idea what was going on.
Caesar:
All right. I believe you, Peeta Mellark.
Peeta:
Thank you. Yeah.
Caesar:
And I was going to ask you to speak about the unrest, but I think you might be too upset.
Peeta:
No, I can.
Caesar:
Are you sure?
Peeta:
Yeah, absolutely.
Caesar:
Thank you.
Peeta: [''13 workers become outraged'']
Yeah. I want everyone who's watching to stop and to think about what a civil war could mean. We almost went extinct once before. And now our numbers are even fewer.
13 worker:
He's one of them!
Peeta:
Is this really what we wanna do?
13 worker:
He's a traitor!
Peeta:
Kill ourselves off? Killing is not the answer.
13 worker:
I can't believe he's doing this.
Peeta:
Everyone needs to lay down their weapons immediately.
13 worker:
Traitor! He's not one of us! This is treason!
Caesar:
Are you calling for a ceasefire?
Peeta:
Yeah. I am.
13 worker:
You're a puppet! Hang him!
Peeta:
I want everyone to stop the senseless violence. This is not the path to change.
13 worker:
Traitor!
Peeta:
It's not the path to justice.

Defining the Opposition in Political Discourse
President Snow:
Egeria! We need to fix these lines. I won't say "rebels." These are senseless acts of defiance. And I won't legitimize them.
Egeria:
We'll call them "criminals.
President Snow:
Hmm.
Egeria:
Radicals.
President Snow:
Hmm. Otherwise we're breaking my oldest rule. Never let them see you bleed. Citizens, tonight I address all of Panem as one.

Meeting of Allies in a Time of Crisis
Plutarch: [''Boggs leads Katniss into the boardroom with Beetee in a wheelchair with Plutarch and Alma walking in'']
There she is. Our Girl on Fire. Madam President, may I present you with The Mockingjay.
President Coin:
What an honour it is to meet you. You're a courageous young woman. I know how disorienting this must be. And I can't imagine what it's like to live through the atrocities of those Games.
Plutarch:
Katniss, President Alma Coin.
President Coin:
Please know how welcome you are. I hope you'll find some comfort with us. We've known loss in 13, too.
Beetee:
This is history. Right here at this table.
President Coin:
I apologize. I wish you had more time to recover, but unfortunately, we don't have that luxury. Please, have a seat. Are you aware of what's happened? When you fired your arrow at the force field you electrified the nation. There have been riots and uprisings and strikes in seven districts. We believe that if we keep this energy going we can unify the districts against the Capitol. But if we don't, if we let it dissipate, we could be waiting another 75 years for this opportunity. Everyone in 13 is ready for this.
Katniss:
What about Peeta? Is he alive?
Plutarch:
I don't know. And I wish that I did. But there's no way for me to contact my operatives inside the Capitol.
Beetee:
The Capitol has always suppressed communication between the districts. But I know their system very well. I managed to break through. All we need now is the perfect message.
Plutarch:
Katniss, here's what we need to do. We need to show them that The Mockingjay's alive and well and willing to stand up and join this fight. Cause we need every district to stand up to this Capitol. The way you did. So we're gonna shoot a series of propaganda clips, propos, I like to call them, on The Mockingjay. Spreads the word that we're gonna stoke the fire of this rebellion. The fire that The Mockingjay started.
Katniss: [''getting angry'']
You left him there. You left Peeta in that arena to die.
Plutarch:
Katniss, there are so many...
Katniss: [''Hysterically outbursts and slams the table'']
Peeta was the one who was supposed to live!
President Coin:
Miss Everdeen. This revolution is about everyone. It's about all of us. And we need a voice.
Katniss: [''Katniss walks out of room angrily'']
Then you should've saved Peeta.
President Coin: [''To Plutarch'']
Maybe you should've rescued the boy instead.
Plutarch:
No. No, no, listen to me. No one else who can do this but her.
President Coin:
This is not the girl you described.
Plutarch:
Obviously, we need to make it personal. Remind her who the real enemy is.
President Coin:
She knows who the enemy is. That's not the issue.
Plutarch:
Unless she's forgotten. There's explaining and there's showing. Let her see what the Capitol did to Twelve.
President Coin:
She can't handle it. The Games destroyed her.
Plutarch:
This is the only choice you have. People don't always show up the way you want them to, Madame President. But that anger, that anger-driven defiance, that's what we want. And we can redirect it. We need to unite these people out there that have been doing nothing but killing each other in an Arena for years. We have to have a lightning rod. They'll follow her. She's the face of the revolution. Let her see it. Let her go home.

Despair and Duty Amidst War
Katniss: [''Wanders through hospital hall and comes up on Finnick's room'']
Finnick.
Finnick:
I wanted to go back for Peeta and Johanna, but I... I couldn't move. They have Annie, too. They took her. She's... She's in the Capitol. I wish she was dead. I wish they were all dead and we were, too.
Boggs:
Miss Everdeen. Colonel Boggs, District 13's head of security. I know you've been discharged, but President Coin's requested to meet with you first.
Katniss:
Is there any news?
Boggs: [''Riding down the elevator with Katniss'']
I'm just here to escort you. We were always told there was nothing left of 13. Capitol bombed the surface to rubble. But we're military, so we learned to survive down here. Preparing, training.

Facing Nightmares in a Distant Reality
Katniss:
Start simple. Start with what you know is true. My name is Katniss Everdeen. My home is District 12. I was in the Hunger Games. I escaped. Peeta... Peeta was left behind.
Orderly:
Miss Everdeen? You can't be in here.
Katniss:
I had a nightmare. Just five more minutes.
Orderly:
You need to sleep. We can help you sleep.
Katniss: [''Orderlies start grabbing her'']
Just five more minutes. No. No, please, don't. It's just five more... Don't touch me! Don't! No! No! Get off of me!

Resilience Amidst Struggles and Nightmares
Finnick Odair:
I drag myself outta nightmares and there's no relief in waking up. But... it's better not to give in to it. It takes 10 times longer to put yourself back together than it does to fall apart.

A Moment of Genuine Emotion for Katniss
Haymitch: [''After rebel leaders watch a propaganda clip of Katniss'']
Madame President, indulge me for a moment, if you would. Let's everybody think of one incident where Katniss Everdeen genuinely moved you. Not where you were jealous of her hairstyle or her dress went up in flames or she made a halfway decent shot with an arrow. And not where Peeta made you like her. No, I'd like you all to think of a one moment where she made you feel something real.

Preserving Order Through Fear and Control
President Coriolanus Snow:
Citizens, tonight I address all of Panem as one. Since the Dark Days, Panem has had an unprecedented era of peace. It is a peace built upon cooperation. And a respect for law and order. In the past weeks, you have heard of sporadic violence following the actions of a few radicals in the Quarter Quell. Those who choose this destructive path, your actions are based on a misunderstanding of how we have survived. Together. It is a contract. Each district supplies the Capitol. Like blood to a heart. In return, the Capitol provides order and security. To refuse work is to put the entire system in danger. The Capitol is the beating heart of Panem. Nothing can survive without a heart. The criminals that kneel before you use symbols for the purpose of sedition. Which is why all images of The Mockingjay are now forbidden. Possessing them will be considered treason. Punishable by death. Justice shall be served swiftly. Order shall be restored. To those who ignore the warnings of history, prepare to pay the ultimate price.

The Burden of Waiting and Resilience
President Alma Coin: [''Walks up to Katniss in empty cafeteria'']
There's no news. I'm sorry. It's the worst torture in the world. Waiting, when you know there's nothing you can do. Especially for people like us. But whatever strength, courage, madness, keeps us going, you find it, at times like these. You have it, soldier. It's what's kept you alive all this time. And it won't fail you now.

A Call to Resist Oppression
Katniss Everdeen: [''Shooting a propaganda video at the scene of a bombed rebel hospital'']
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!
