[first lines; we see Katniss sitting by the lake watching the sun rise over the forest, she suddenly hears a noise behind her, she turns and draws her arrow]
Gale Hawthorn:Wow! Wow! Easy!
[Katniss lowers her bow]
Gale Hawthorn:I saw some turkeys on the way here. Crossed right in front of me like I'm not even there/
Katniss Everdeen:How rude of them.
Gale Hawthorn:That's what happens when you work in the mines six days a week and the stupid birds start thinking they own these forests.
[pause as they look at each other for a moment]
Gale Hawthorn:When does the tour start?
Katniss Everdeen:Few hours.
Gale Hawthorn:OK let's go.
[Gale turns and starts walking, Katniss following him]
[As they walk through the forest, Katniss and Gale come across the turkeys that Gale had seen earlier, Katniss pulls out an arrow and shoots, but when it hits its target, she sees Marvel, the tribute she killed a year earlier after he killed her friend Rue, Katniss starts freaking out]
Gale Hawthorn:are you ok are you ok
[Katniss yells then looks over to where she met Marvel only to see the turkeys run away]
Gale Hawthorn:are you ok Are you sure. Are you sure. It's good that you're here with me. You are with me.
[Katniss begins to calm down]
Gale Hawthorn:Okay. Okay.
Katniss Everdeen:I'm sorry. We should, we should go
[They put down their bows and arrows and leave the forest and go back to District 12]
Katniss Everdeen:are you coming to the train station
Gale Hawthorn:I think you have enough people saying goodbye without me there.
Katniss Everdeen:Only a few really matter to me.
Gale Hawthorn:It might be easier if you didn't.
Katniss Everdeen:It's only a few weeks. I'll be back before the snow melts.
Gale Hawthorn:Yes? Well, a lot can happen in a few weeks.
Katniss Everdeen:Will we do this again? Gale, it was played.
Gale Hawthorn:Yes, it is good.
Katniss Everdeen:I did what I had to do to survive. If not, he would be dead.
[Gale kisses her]
Gale Hawthorn:I had to do it. At least once.
[turns and leaves]
[Katniss returns to Victors Village and goes to Haymitch's house, knocks on the door]
Katniss Everdeen:¡Haymitch!
[no answer, Katniss opens the front door and enters the house]
Katniss Everdeen:Haymitch.
[she walks down the hall to find Haymitch passed out drunk at her table]
Katniss Everdeen:Haymitch. Wake up, it's tour day.
[she nudges him to wake him up]
Katniss Everdeen:Haymitch.
[she pushes him again but he doesn't wake up, she picks up the water jug next to him and squirts the water at him, immediately waking him up screaming]
Haymitch Abernathy:Wow! What are you doing?!
Katniss Everdeen:The cameras will be here in an hour.
[He walks past her but she stops him]
Katniss Everdeen:If you wanted to be pampered, you should have asked Peeta.
[she pushes him back and falls onto the chair]
Peeta Mellark:Ask me something?
[Peeta comes in with some bread]
Haymitch Abernathy:Ask him to wake me up without getting pneumonia.
[a Katniss]
Haymitch Abernathy:You are an oddly unpleasant person.
[Katniss places two small bottles of alcohol on the table in front of her]
Haymitch Abernathy:But you have your virtues.
Peeta Mellark:Would you like some bread, Katniss?
Katniss Everdeen:No, I ate in the lounge, but thanks.
Peeta Mellark:No problem.
[Haymitch watches the cold exchange between the two]
Haymitch Abernathy:brrr. You two have a lot of warnings to do before the show.
Katniss Everdeen:Which is then in an hour. Take a bath, Haymitch.
[turns and leaves the room]
Haymitch Abernathy:i just did it
[Katniss returns to her home in Victors Village and enters the house]
Katniss' mother:Did you have a nice walk, honey?
Katniss Everdeen:Walk? I was out...
Primavera Everdeen:We have visitors.
[Two Presidential Guards stand in front of Katniss and Primrose's mother]
Presidential Guard:Miss Everdeen, this way, please.
[they escort her to the study where President Snow is waiting, he has a projector showing footage from the previous Hunger Games which ended with Katniss and Peeta nearly committing a double suicide by eating the poisonous nightshade berries]
Katniss Everdeen:President snow. that honor.
President Snow:My dear, I think we can make this much easier. 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.
[both sit opposite each other, the study table separates them]
President Snow:I have a problem, Miss Everdeen. A problem that started the moment you revealed those poisonous berries in the arena. If our headgame creator Seneca Crane had had any sense, he would have ripped you to pieces in an instant. But here you are, I hope you can guess where it is.
Katniss Everdeen:Yes I think so.
President Snow:After this fiasco there was nothing left but to let you play on your little stage. And you were very good. All that crazy, crazy schoolgirl routine. Brilliant. For real. You convinced the people in the Capitol. Unfortunately, not everyone in the districts fell for it. I mean, you can't know that, but in some of them. People saw your little berry trick as an act of defiance, not an act of love. And if, of all people, a girl from District 12 can brave the Capitol and get away unscathed, what's stopping her from doing the same? What prevents, say, an uprising? That can lead to revolution. And then, in a fraction of the time, the whole system collapses.
Katniss Everdeen:It must be a fragile system if a few berries can bring it down.
President Snow:Yes it is. But not in the way you imagine.
Katniss Everdeen:How should I imagine that?
President Snow:You should imagine thousands upon thousands of your dead. This city of yours has been reduced to ashes. Imagine it's gone. A radioactive substance buried underground as if it had never existed like District 13. But they were games. Would you like to be in a real war?
Katniss Everdeen:no
President Snow:Good. Neither do I.
[pick up a small biscuit]
President Snow:did your mother do this
Katniss Everdeen:Peeta.
President Snow:Oh, he's a lovely boy. Tell me, when did you realize the depth of your indifference towards him?
Katniss Everdeen:I am not indifferent
President Snow:Do not lie! You promised.
[Snow bites the cookie]
Katniss Everdeen:why don't you kill me now
President Snow:I do not want to kill you. i want us to be friends But if not friends, then allies.
Katniss Everdeen:What I have to do?
President Snow:When you and Peeta go on tour, you have to smile, you have to be grateful. But most of all you have to be insanely prepared to end it all with love, do you think you can do it?
Katniss Everdeen:And.
President Snow:If that?
Katniss Everdeen:I will convince her.
President Snow:no convince me
[smiles and takes a white rose from his pocket]
President Snow:For you, Miss Everdeen.
[puts the rose on the table in front of him, then stands up]
President Snow:You convince me, for the sake of your loved ones.
[Katniss turns and sees the projector showing her and Gale kissing earlier in the day as she watches Snow walk to the door and leave]
[Effie Trinket arrives at Victors Village, her assistants Flavius and Octavia walking behind her]
Bargain Effie:Stop. accept everything This is sacred ground. History was made here.
[wind blows and Effie's face grimaces]
Bargain Effie:You will get used to the smell.
[Effie arrives at Katniss' house and Katniss' mother lets her in]
Bargain Effie:Hi. Oh, there she is, my greatest triumph.
[walks up to Katniss and hugs her]
Flavio:super star Darling, we missed you.
[Octavia and Flavius kiss Katniss on the cheeks]
Bargain Effie:Oh what a sweet little house! It's so picturesque, isn't it? Of course you've heard of Cinna.
Katniss Everdeen:What happened to China?
Bargain Effie:oh darling He's a fashion star. You are his muse. Everyone in the capital wears it. The whole world. The whole world!
Zinn:Well, not all.
[Effie turns to see Cinna standing by the door, Katniss comes over and hugs him]
Katniss Everdeen:Zinn.
Primavera Everdeen:Cat?
Bargain Effie:Katniss, is that your sister?
[Katniss nods]
Bargain Effie:Oh sweetie!
[Effie hugs Primrose]
Zinn:are you ok
Katniss Everdeen:And.
Zinn:Ready to work?
Katniss Everdeen:And.
Zinn:Good Good.
[Caesar Flickerman appears on stage at the beginning of his show]
Cesar Flickerman:Warm welcome. Warm welcome. Last year, the greatest love story of our time was promised at the 74th Hunger Games. Against all odds, two courageous young men chose to die rather than lose themselves. As a nation we share its agony. But we have had so little time to revel in their joy...
[Back at Katniss' house, Effie and Cinna finish getting Katniss ready for the Flickerman show]
Bargain Effie:Ah, it's time!
[to Octavia and Cinna as they finish Katniss's makeup and costumes]
Bargain Effie:She's done, she's beautiful. We have to feed the monster. good now
[Effie leads Katniss to the front door]
Bargain Effie:You're excited, you're in love. Big smile for the camera in three, two, one.
[Effie opens the front door and Katniss walks out]
Cesar Flickerman:There she is, Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire.
[Katniss realizes the camera is in front of her house and smiles]
Cesar Flickerman:And there he is, Peeta Mellark, the baker boy.
[Peeta walks out the front door, Katniss and Peeta approach each other as they catch up, as they hug, they slip on the ice and fall to the ground, with Katniss on top of Peeta]
Cesar Flickerman:Uh-oh, trouble in paradise.
[Flickerman laughs]
Cesar Flickerman:I hope You are fine.
[Katniss looks at Peeta for a moment and then kisses him]
Cesar Flickerman:um, um Is anyone at home? Shall we come back later?
[Katniss stops kissing Peeta, they both look at the camera smiling]
Katniss Everdeen:I'm sorry, Caesar.
Cesar Flickerman:No Please. In order. it's your day
Cesar Flickerman:How are you?
[Peeta and Katniss smile at the camera]
Peeta Mellark:We are okay.
Cesar Flickerman:That's all? Thats all we have? "We are okay." Suddenly so discreet. Peeta, give me some details.
Peeta Mellark:Things are, uh, things are great here at 12.
Katniss Everdeen:Thanks to the generosity of the Capitol, we've never been closer.
Peeta Mellark:Twenty-five meters to be exact.
[Flickerman laughs]
Cesar Flickerman:Fantastic! We will steer both during the victory drive. Thank you Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.
[The Flickerman show audience cheers as Katniss and Peeta wave goodbye to the camera and stop filming them]
Bargain Effie:Wonderful! Everyone move, we'll be out of here in ten minutes!
[Peeta turns to Katniss]
Peeta Mellark:That was a good performance.
Katniss Everdeen:You too.
Peeta Mellark:I almost thought that kiss was real.
[he looks at her for a moment before walking to her house]
Bargain Effie:Come on kids, we have a schedule. The train is waiting!
[on the train to the start of his victory tour]
Bargain Effie:Fabulous food, fabulous wine, massages, spa treatments. I have only told you the best for my two winners. Everything has to be easy...
Haymitch Abernathy:Fabulous?
Bargain Effie:Exactly. Now the schedule is a bit bear. Twelve days, 12 districts, but above all parties, celebrations, fans greet at all stations, and then we end up in the Capitol. All you have to do is give a few speeches, wave to the crowd and enjoy your time in the spotlight. You deserve it.
Katniss Everdeen:What did you say?
Peeta Mellark:Katniss.
Bargain Effie:I said enjoy it Katniss. You deserve it.
Katniss Everdeen:By killing people.
Bargain Effie:Young woman…
[Katniss gets up and starts to get out of the dining car, as she walks through the train, she notices the control room, one of the workers notices her and quickly presses a button to close the door]
[Katniss sits in the train rest area, holding the Mockingjay brooch that Primrose gave her before entering the Hunger Games, she hears the carriage door open]
Katniss Everdeen:I'm really not in the mood for a lecture, I'll apologize to Effie later.
[turns to see Peeta getting into the cart]
Katniss Everdeen:I thought you were Haymitch.
[Peeta walks over and sits across from her]
Peeta Mellark:You don't have to apologize to anyone, not even me. And I know it's not fair for me to ask you to do things that you said in the games. you saved us i know But I can't keep playing for the cameras and then just ignore us in real life. So if you can stop looking at me like I'm hurt, I can stop acting like one. And then we might have a chance to become friends.
Katniss Everdeen:I've never been good with friends.
Peeta Mellark:Well, for starters, it helps if you know the person. I don't know much about you other than that you're stubborn and good with a bow.
Katniss Everdeen:That brings me to the point.
Peeta Mellark:No, there's more than that, you just won't tell me.
Katniss Everdeen:Like I said, I'm...
Peeta Mellark:You know, Katniss, the way friends work is that they have to tell each other the deep stuff.
Katniss Everdeen:The deep stuff?
Peeta Mellark:And.
Katniss Everdeen:Uh-oh, like what?
Peeta Mellark:What is your favorite color?
Katniss Everdeen:Well, now you've crossed the line.
[Peeta smiles]
Peeta Mellark:Seriously, what is this?
Katniss Everdeen:Green. which one is yours
Peeta Mellark:Orange.
Katniss Everdeen:Do you like Effie's hair?
Peeta Mellark:no Not as orange, more, uh, more like a sunset orange.
[just then the train is going through a tunnel and Katniss notices the symbol of a mocking jay sprayed on the tunnel walls]
Katniss Everdeen:Did you see that?
Peeta Mellark:Was?
[Peeta looks at the tunnel walls but doesn't notice the painted symbol, instead he notices something else as the train exits the tunnel]
Peeta Mellark:Need
[Peeta and Katniss see vans full of Capitol Peacekeepers]
[At her first stop in District 11, Effie gets off the train and is met by an army of Peacekeepers]
Bargain Effie:Well I never. It's not very festive.
[on the way to meet the crowd, Effie instructs Katniss and Peeta]
Bargain Effie:The mayor will make a few opening remarks and then all you have to do is say a few words. It is, of course, customary to give a short eulogy to the fallen tributes of the district. For 11, that's Thresh and Rue. Here are the speeches.
[He hands Katniss and Peeta the voice cards, both hesitate until finally Peeta takes the cards and turns to Katniss]
Peeta Mellark:i can talk if you want
Katniss Everdeen:Gracias.
[the mayor introduces Katniss and Peeta to the crowd gathered in District 11]
Mayor of District 11:Ladies and gentlemen, the victors of the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.
[as doors open for them to come and stand on the podium]
Bargain Effie:Smile, smile, smile, smile. Stand up straight, you are in front of the camera.
[Katniss and Peeta walk to the podium for the microphone, Katniss looks sad as she sees a large picture of Rue with her family]
Peeta Mellark:Many Thanks. We are honored to be here with you today and to be with the families of your fallen tributes.
[The crowd doesn't react and Peeta puts down the speaking cards, Effie, Haymitch and Cinna watch behind the scenes on the TV]
Bargain Effie:He put the cards face down!
Haymitch Abernathy:Sch.
Bargain Effie:Why do I care?!
[Back on the podium, Peeta continues his speech]
Peeta Mellark:Though they fought with honor and dignity to the end, both Thresh and Rue were very young. But our life is not only measured in years. They are measured in the lives of the people we touch around us. For me, for Katniss.
[looks at Katniss for a moment]
Peeta Mellark:We know that without Rue and without Thresh we wouldn't be here today. In recognition of this, knowing that you will not be able to make up for your loss, we would like to donate one month of our profits each year to the families of the tributes for the rest of our lives.
[looks behind the scenes]
Haymitch Abernathy:Oh shit.
Zinn:can you, can you do that
Haymitch Abernathy:You can't, but you did.
Bargain Effie:Oh, why don't you stick to the cards?
[District 11 crowd applauds after Peeta's speech]
Peeta Mellark:Gracias.
[Peeta sieht Katniss an, dreht sich um, um das Podium hinunterzugehen, aber Katniss zögert, als sie Rues Foto betrachtet, geht dann zum Mikrofon und sieht zu Thrushs Familie, die unter ihrem Foto steht]
Katniss Everdeen:I just wanted to say I don't know Thresh, I've only spoken to him once. He could have killed me, but instead he showed me mercy. That's a debt I can never repay.
[looks at Rue's family]
Katniss Everdeen:I met Rue. Not only was she my ally, she was my friend. I see it in the flowers growing in the meadow next to my house. I hear it in the Mockingjay song. I see it with my sister Prim. She was too young. Too gentle and I couldn't save her. I'm sorry.
[a man in the crowd gives Katniss the three-finger salute and whistles the iconic three-note tune, everyone else in the crowd joins him and suddenly the Peacekeepers stomp through the crowd to grab the man, Katniss runs off stage to stop this peacekeeper]
Katniss Everdeen:Nerd!
[Two peacekeepers grab her arms to stop her from entering the crowd]
Katniss Everdeen:nope! Leave him in peace! Leave him in peace!
[The man is grabbed by the Peacekeepers and brought to the front]
Katniss Everdeen:nope! Please leave him alone!
[Katniss is pulled off the podium toward the building behind her]
Katniss Everdeen:No!
[Before the doors close, Katniss watches as a Peacekeeper draws his gun and shoots the man in the back of the head, she screams and runs out the door but Haymitch grabs her, Katniss is distraught as she struggles to grab Haymitch's arms escape]
Haymitch Abernathy:Stop! Hush!
[pulls Katniss, Peeta follows them]
[pulls Katniss and Peeta to a quiet area]
Haymitch Abernathy:You two have a very simple task.
[Katniss looks distressed and starts to cry]
Katniss Everdeen:I never wanted anyone to die, they need to know!
Haymitch Abernathy:What are you talking about? Who needs to know what?
Katniss Everdeen:Snow came to visit me. He's worried about the rebellion in the districts, he thinks they don't believe our love story.
Haymitch Abernathy:So he wants you to make her believe?
Katniss Everdeen:To calm things down.
Peeta Mellark:You know, Katniss, you should have told me before you went out and tried to give these people our money!
Katniss Everdeen:I'm sorry I didn't know what to do. He threatened to kill my family.
Peeta Mellark:Well I have a family too! Okay, people I have to protect!
[refers to the people of the districts]
Haymitch Abernathy:What's up with them? Who protects them? Katniss, what were you thinking?
Katniss Everdeen:I thought of Rue. Haymitch, please help me get through this journey. Please just help us get through this.
Haymitch Abernathy:This trip girl? Awaken! This journey doesn't end when you return home. You never get off this train. You two are now mentors, which means you will carry and pass on the details of your romance each year. Every year your personal life becomes hers. From now on it's your job to distract so people forget what the real problems are.
Peeta Mellark:So what do we do?
Haymitch Abernathy:you will smile You will read the letters Effie gives you and you will live happily ever after. Do you think you can do it? Hey?
[Katniss, still crying, nods in agreement]
Haymitch Abernathy:Yes? Come here.
[he holds Katniss for comfort while she remains in his arms, Katniss sees the lifeless body of the man in the crowd being carried away by the peacekeepers]
Haymitch Abernathy:You'll be fine. I promise.
[as they continue their tour of Panem visiting each district, this time speaking from the language cards provided by Effie]
Peeta Mellark:Katniss and I would like to share our victory and our thanks to the Capitol for coming together. It was the bond of love forged at the beginning of the Games, our greatest prize. Because it is love and true love that enables us all to cope with our difficulties.
[Peeta and Katniss kiss and smile on stage, then Katniss looks at the faces of the crowd]
Peeta Mellark:It repairs the heart, dispels loneliness and gives meaning to our lives.
[Katniss gives a speech in another district]
Katniss Everdeen:We also want to share the pain of your losses with you. The honors of this...
[Suddenly another man in the crowd gives Katniss the three-finger salute and is quickly grabbed by the Peacekeepers, Katniss looks at Haymitch, who tells her to continue with her speech.]
Katniss Everdeen:The tributes of this district will reign as noble warriors, through our honor for their families and our prayer for their people. We are all united, both winners and losers, serving a common purpose.
[During one of her visits to another county, Katniss meets a girl who gives her flowers]
Katniss Everdeen:Gracias.
flower girl:One day I will volunteer like you did.
[Katniss looks uncomfortable and distraught]
[As they continue their journey on the train, Katniss wakes up screaming from a nightmare, Peeta rushes to her room to check on her]
Katniss Everdeen:It was just a dream, sorry.
Peeta Mellark:It's OK. I also. Good night.
[Peeta turns to leave]
Katniss Everdeen:Peeta, will you stay with me?
Peeta Mellark:And.
[lays down next to her and hugs her comfortingly]
Peeta Mellark:Always.
[giving a speech in another district]
Katniss Everdeen:We are all united, both winners and losers, in service of a common purpose. The power and glory of the Capitol.
[Katniss looks at the restless crowd and screams]
Katniss Everdeen:Lord today, Lord tomorrow, Lord forever.
[Meanwhile, Snow watches as it all unfolds with her granddaughter having her hair braided in the same style as Katniss]
President Snow:Your hair looks beautiful, honey. When did you start wearing it like that?
Snows Angel:Everyone at school wears it like this now, grandpa.
[onto the Siegestour train again as they continue to the next district]
Haymitch Abernathy:The snow is watching us. If he wants you to pacify the districts, I promise you, he's not happy. Instead of being love, you sound like you're reciting a practice manual.
Peeta Mellark:Try to read the things Effie writes to us.
Haymitch Abernathy:Tell President Snow that when you see him in two days.
Peeta Mellark:I'm open to suggestions.
Katniss Everdeen:we could get married
Haymitch Abernathy:That does not help.
Katniss Everdeen:I'm serious. If, like you said, we're on this train forever, it's going to happen eventually. Why not now?
[Haymitch chuckles as he thinks about it]
Haymitch Abernathy:Makes a statement, I'll give you that.
[looks at Peeta who is looking down]
Peeta Mellark:Yes, we'll do it.
[Peeta stands up and wants to get out of the cart]
[Flickerman announces Katniss and Peeta's engagement on his show]
Cesar Flickerman:Just when you thought things couldn't get more exciting as you enter a very special Quarter Quell, our two deadly lovers, my favorite phrase...
[laughs and the audience laughs with him]
Cesar Flickerman:... from District 12 have surprised us with a new twist on their love story. We will see.
[He turns and behind him we see footage of Peeta getting on one knee to propose to Katniss on the Flickerman show]
Cesar Flickerman:The end of the fairy tale of two lovers crossing. That is beautiful. And then, tonight, the tour that started in the hollows of District 12, where will it end?
[Gale watches this as he washes his hands after a job in the mines, visibly annoyed]
[Effie accompanies Katniss and Peeta to a party at the Capitol where they will meet Snow]
Bargain Effie:The Presidential Palace, the party of the year. Bright eyes, raised chin, smile. I'm talking to you Katniss. Now there will be photographers, interviews, everyone will be here to celebrate, my winners.
[when they reach the party entrance]
Bargain Effie:Breathe everything into the children.
[turns to them]
Bargain Effie:That's all for you.
Peeta Mellark:it is comfortable
Bargain Effie:attitude.
[Effie turns, smiles]
Bargain Effie:come on let's go
[she leads them through the crowd at the party]
Bargain Effie:forgive us forgive us
[crowd applauds them as they pass]
Bargain Effie:How how.
[turns to Peeta and Katniss]
Bargain Effie:Hold hands.
[Effie escorts her to the Presidential Palace]
Bargain Effie:The library, all mahogany.
[to the quantity]
Bargain Effie:Hello Hello. Not yet, not yet.
[referring to the hats worn by one of the guests]
Bargain Effie:Oh curtains!
[and Katniss and Peeta]
Bargain Effie:Everyone who is someone is here and everyone wants to meet you.
[They go into the dining room]
Bargain Effie:Flavio Octavia
[Katniss and Peeta come down the stairs and Katniss grabs Peeta's arm]
[offers Peeta a plate of macaroni]
Octavia:Try any of these, they are divine.
Peeta Mellark:I can't even think about it anymore.
[Flavius hands her a pink drink in a small glass]
Flavio:Here.
Peeta Mellark:What is that?
Flavio:It's when you're full.
Octavia:It makes you sick, so you can keep eating.
Flavio:How else can you try everything?
[there is an awkward silence]
Peeta Mellark:I think it's time for a dance.
[hands Flavius his plate and drink]
Peeta Mellark:Cat?
[Katniss walks onto the dance floor and they start dancing]
Peeta Mellark:People are starving in 12. Here they just throw it up and get more.
[Effie interrupts her dance by introducing her to Plutarch Heavensbee]
Bargain Effie:Katniss, Peeta. This is Plutarch Heavensbee, Chief Warden. Successor to Seneca Crane.
Peeta Mellark:It's a difficult plot to follow.
[Katniss looks at Peeta and smiles]
Bargain Effie:Peeta!
[Heavensbee smiles and Effie laughs]
Plutarco Heavensbee:Can I?
Peeta Mellark:Please.
[Heavensbee takes Katniss in her arms and they start dancing]
[when dancing]
Plutarco Heavensbee:how do you like the party
Katniss Everdeen:It's a bit overwhelming.
Plutarco Heavensbee:It's scary, but if you let go of your moral judgment, it can be fun.
Katniss Everdeen:So are you having fun?
Plutarco Heavensbee:I'm Head Gamemaker, having fun is my job.
Katniss Everdeen:I thought that about Seneca Crane was too funny.
Plutarco Heavensbee:Seneca decided to stop breathing.
Katniss Everdeen:He decided?
Plutarco Heavensbee:It's either that or poisonous berries. I think Head Gamemaker has never been the safest job in the world.
Katniss Everdeen:And why are you here?
Plutarco Heavensbee:I volunteered for the same reason as you.
Katniss Everdeen:Why?
Plutarco Heavensbee:Ambition. A chance to make games mean something.
Katniss Everdeen:Games mean nothing, they just want to scare us.
Plutarco Heavensbee:Well maybe it's you that inspired me to come back.
[Katniss looks at him in confusion as they are suddenly interrupted by the music making Snow's announcement]
Plutarco Heavensbee:Ah, the President's welcome. I am sure that we will meet again.
[Heavensbee leaves and Katniss looks at him confused]
Bargain Effie:Katniss, come on. The President is waiting.
[as they head off to be introduced to Snow]
Peeta Mellark:Do you think we convinced him?
Katniss Everdeen:I'm not sure what else we can do.
[Party crowd applauds as Snow steps onto the balcony]
President Snow:Tonight, on this last day of their tour, I would like to welcome our two winners. Two young men who embody our ideals of strength and courage. And I personally want to congratulate you on your engagement announcement.
[crowd applauds and cheers]
President Snow:Your love has inspired us. And I know that as long as you live, you will continue to inspire us every day.
[He looks at Katniss and Peeta and raises his champagne glass to greet them, then everyone cheers as the fireworks go off, but Katniss turns to face Snow, who shakes her head.]
[Later that night on the train, now in the same sleeper car, Katniss lies awake next to Peeta, who is asleep and unable to sleep. Looking for a miracle, Katniss finds the control area she found earlier and finds that the monitor screens show images of the rebellion in the various precincts; At the same time, Snow looks at the same pictures at home]
President Snow:Check out these...... She's not who they think she is. She's not a leader, she just wants to save her own skin, it's that simple.
Plutarco Heavensbee:I think that's true.
President Snow:It has become a beacon of hope for the rebellion and must be removed.
Plutarco Heavensbee:I agree that he should die, but in the right way. In the right moment. It's moves and countermoves, that's all we have to watch out for. Katniss Everdeen is an icon, her mockingjay. They think he's one of them, we gotta prove he's one of us. We don't have to destroy it, just the image. Then we let people do the rest.
President Snow:what do you suggest
Plutarco Heavensbee:Shut down the black markets, take what little they have, and then double the number of floggings and executions, televise them, broadcast them live. So fear even more fear.
President Snow:It will not work. Fear doesn't work unless you have hope, and Katniss Everdeen gives you hope.
Plutarco Heavensbee:She's engaged, do anything for it. What dress will she wear? floggings. How should the cake look? Executions Who will be there? Fear. General reporting, smack it in their face. Show 'em she's one of us now.
[Serie]
Plutarco Heavensbee:They will hate her so much they could kill her for you.
President Snow:Sparkling.
[Katniss returns to District 12 and approaches Gale as he leaves work]
Gale Hawthorn:When did you do it...?
[without saying a word, Katniss hugs Gale and clings to him]
Katniss Everdeen:We need to talk.
[she leads him to a quiet area]
Gale Hawthorn:Where will we flee to?
Katniss Everdeen:In the forest, as we always speak. We can go right now, we can be out of here tonight.
Gale Hawthorn:Yes, who are we? You, me and your fiancé©?
Katniss Everdeen:It's not just Peeta and me anymore. Snow threatened to kill you.
Gale Hawthorn:Someone else?
Katniss Everdeen:Well, he didn't actually give me a copy of the list, but I'm guessing it includes our families.
Gale Hawthorn:Unless what? You and Peeta getting married?
Katniss Everdeen:Unless now nothing. Gal, we can do this. You said yourself we could do it on harvest morning. what are you saying now
Gale Hawthorn:You love me?
Katniss Everdeen:Gale, you know how I feel about you. But I can't think of anyone like that right now. The only thing I can think about every day, every waking moment since harvest is how scared I am. There is no room for anything else. But maybe if we leave here, if we go somewhere safe, it could be different, I could be different.
Gale Hawthorn:Do you think the President might be lying?
Katniss Everdeen:He doesn't lie.
[pauses briefly]
Katniss Everdeen:Not with what's happening in the districts.
Gale Hawthorn:How do you mean?
[Katniss does not answer]
Gale Hawthorn:What you saw?
Katniss Everdeen:People fought in the streets. And the fires and the peacekeepers held them down, but the people were...
Gale Hawthorn:What? people were what?
Katniss Everdeen:They fought back.
Gale Hawthorn:It happens. The time has come.
Katniss Everdeen:We should have eaten the berries in the arena and died like we were supposed to and everything would be back to normal and everyone would be safe.
Gale Hawthorn:Sure for what? To starve? Work like slaves, send your kids to harvest? You weren't listening to people, Katniss. You gave them a chance. You just have to be brave enough to accept it. People are already talking in the mines, people want to fight.
Katniss Everdeen:We have to go, Gale, before they kill us. they will kill us
Gale Hawthorn:What about the other families? Hey? The ones that stay? What's the matter with them? People are looking at you Katniss.
Katniss Everdeen:I don't want anyone to look at me! I can not help you!
[Suddenly they hear vehicle engines, Gale grabs Katniss and they kneel to hide behind some bushes, they see the Peacekeeper vans driving towards their neighborhood]
Gale Hawthorn:You can do whatever you want. I stay here.
[Peacekeepers led by Commander Thread arrive in the town square]
mourn:commander thread. Welcome to District 12.
[Suddenly one of the Peacekeepers appears behind Cray, puts a sack over his head and drags him away, Thread looks around]
Commander-Thread:let's go to work
[He fires a shot, Gale and Katniss hear the shot from their hiding spot and run to the town square, back in the square the Peacekeepers set up a whiplash and run through the neighborhood terrorizing the people and burning down their homes as Gale and Katniss arrive in town at Katniss encounters a woman who was hit in the eye]
Katniss Everdeen:I'll get you out of here
[Gale realizes Thread is about to hit a defenseless woman, runs inside and attacks Thread, two Peacekeepers pull Gale away from Thread and hold him down]
Commander-Thread:In the square.
[Katniss attends to the woman she rescued, giving her a damp rag to drape over her injured eye]
Katniss Everdeen:Here.
[hears the crack of a whip and someone screaming in pain; back to woman]
Katniss Everdeen:Yes, hold that.
[As Katniss hears the screams getting louder she runs to the town square and sees Gale tied to a post standing in the square while Thread whips him in front of everyone, Katniss runs to stop the flogging]
Katniss Everdeen:Woman! Nerd!
[She raises her hand to stop Thread and he smacks her in the face, she falls and Thread uses his whip to hit her again]
Gale Hawthorn:Katniss, it's okay. Just go. It's OK.
[Katniss stands and faces Gale and looks at thread]
Commander-Thread:Go on.
[raises his whip]
Commander-Thread:would you like another
Katniss Everdeen:move on.
[Thread draws his gun just as he is about to shoot, Haymitch runs in to intervene]
Haymitch Abernathy:Wow wow wow!
Commander-Thread:Get out of my way!
Haymitch Abernathy:No, you don't want to shoot him.
Commander-Thread:How about I shoot them both?
Haymitch Abernathy:Look, Commander, you're new here. Trust me I'm trying to help you. I'm Haymitch. do you recognize her Katniss Everdeen? Capitol darling?
[Thread looks at Katniss and lowers her gun]
Commander-Thread:She disturbed a peacemaker.
Haymitch Abernathy:I never said I was smart. Look, you already have some lashes, don't you?
Commander-Thread:That's not good enough! She's a shaker!
[He points his gun at Katniss again, but this time Peeta comes over and brushes her hand away]
Peeta Mellark:Easy. Easy.
[Haymitch pulls Peeta behind him]
Haymitch Abernathy:Are you sure Snow wants three dead Victors here? Because we see that. It's bad enough that you scarred her face on the eve of the big wedding. Let it go and so will we.
[Thread looks around, grins menacingly, and lowers his gun]
Commander-Thread:Gut.
[holsters his gun]
Commander-Thread:OK. But next time it's the firing squad.
Haymitch Abernathy:Excellent idea.
Commander-Thread:I don't care who she is.
[keeps looking at Haymitch, then yells at the people gathered in the square]
Commander-Thread:Clear the space! They are all under curfew! Anyone who comes out after dark will be shot immediately!
[People want to leave, thread turns to Haymitch]
Commander-Thread:Get her out of here.
[Katniss and Peeta free Gale from his restraints tied to the post]
[Katniss, Haymitch, and Peeta take Gale home to tend to his injuries]
Peeta Mellark:it's gal
Katniss' mother:Hol is dir hier!
[Katniss' mother and Primrose clear the kitchen table]
Peeta Mellark:Here. Easy.
[Peeta, Haymitch and some people from the district help Gale onto his stomach on the table]
Peeta Mellark:OK. Many Thanks.
Haymitch Abernathy:He met a peacemaker who is not entirely peaceful.
[looks at the wound on Katniss' face]
Primavera Everdeen:i lost your eye You don't need points.
Katniss' mother:Make a snow coat.
Primavera Everdeen:Peeta, bring the snow. I'll get my herbs.
[Katniss' mother pours alcohol on the wounds on Gale's back]
Katniss Everdeen:What is that? That hurts him!
Katniss' mother:You need the morphing.
[She puts the bottle down, Haymitch picks it up, sniffs it and starts pouring some into a cup while Katniss takes the bottle from him, Haymitch then starts drinking from the cup, Katniss' mother then takes out the morphling the box and starts preparing the injection] when Primrose stops her
Primavera Everdeen:Breast. I will not do it.
[Primrose prepares the injection and approaches Gale; to Katniss]
Primavera Everdeen:hold it please
[Primrose injects Gale as she moans in pain]
Primavera Everdeen:That's better.
[Later that night, after her wounds have been tended, Katniss watches Gale sleep, leans in and kisses him tenderly on the lips, Gale's eyes widen]
Gale Hawthorn:Hello Kathnap.
Katniss Everdeen:Juice.
Gale Hawthorn:I thought you were gone now.
Katniss Everdeen:I do not go anywhere. I'll stay here and cause all sorts of trouble.
Gale Hawthorn:I also.
[Katniss kisses his hand, in the morning Peeta enters the house to find Katniss sleeping while she is watching Gale]
Peeta Mellark:Juice.
[Katniss wakes up and looks at Peeta]
Peeta Mellark:Do you want to rest a bit? I can take care of him for a while.
[Katniss nods, then examines Gale's injuries]
Katniss Everdeen:Okay, um, I'll get you some more snow.
[Katniss starts to put on her boots, Peeta sits next to Gale and watches her]
[Katniss shovels some snow for Gale, Primrose comes out and kneels beside him.]
Katniss Everdeen:Juice.
Primavera Everdeen:How is your eye?
Katniss Everdeen:It's not my eye that bothers me. How can we live like this? How can anyone live like that?
Primavera Everdeen:It's not alive, but something has changed since the last few games. I can see it.
Katniss Everdeen:what can you see
Primavera Everdeen:Expect.
Katniss Everdeen:You understand that everything I do comes back to you and Mom. I don't want you to get hurt.
Primavera Everdeen:You don't have to protect me or mom. We are with you.
[Katniss looks at Primrose and then hugs her, they hug]
Katniss Everdeen:Loving You.
Primavera Everdeen:I love you too.
[Heavensbee shows Snow footage of the event with Gale, Katniss, and Thread on a projector, pausing the footage as Katniss walks in to prevent Thread from hitting Gale.]
Plutarco Heavensbee:The transfer stops here. Before any of the excitement happened.
President Snow:How many people saw it?
Plutarco Heavensbee:Hard to say. There was a 5 second delay, but it was quick.
President Snow:If you can't contain Katniss Everdeen, I'll have to take her down.
Plutarco Heavensbee:I understand that.
President Snow:And not just her.
[Snow restarts the footage and skips ahead as Haymitch intervened]
President Snow:Their entire species must be wiped out.
Plutarco Heavensbee:Your species, sir?
President Snow:The Other Winners Thanks to her, everyone is now a threat. Because of this, everyone thinks they are invincible. Whatever game you think you're playing, those out there aren't playing it with you.
Plutarco Heavensbee:There's a way we can still win.
[Snow looks at him]
Plutarco Heavensbee:It's what we Rangers like to call a "wrinkle".
[on Capitol Snow makes announcement of 75th Hunger Games]
President Snow:Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 75th year of the Hunger Games.
[crowd cheers; Back in District 12, Katniss, her mother, and Primrose watch the ad at her house]
President Snow:The statutes of the games stated that there would be a quarter quelle every 25 years. Now, on this 75th anniversary of our defeat of the Rebellion, we celebrate the third quarter of Quell.
[crowd applauds again]
President Snow:As a reminder, even the strongest cannot defeat the might of the Capitol. In this Q3 Source Game, Tributes male and female are harvested from the existing pool of victors in each district.
Katniss' mother:No!
Primavera Everdeen:What does that mean?
[Katniss looks devastated by the news and her mother starts to cry]
Katniss' mother:Cat...
[Haymitch looks at her house and angrily throws a bottle at the screen. Back at her house, Katniss runs into the woods and starts to cry.]
[After sitting in the woods crying for a while, Katniss suddenly has a thought]
Katniss Everdeen:Peeta...
[Katniss comes out of the woods and goes to Haymitch's house, where he sits at his desk and drinks]
Haymitch Abernathy:There she is. Finally calculated, right? And what did you come for? ask me to die
Katniss Everdeen:I'm here to drink.
[takes the bottle from her hand]
Haymitch Abernathy:Oh, finally something I can help you with.
[drinks from the bottle]
Haymitch Abernathy:What does it say that Peeta was here forty-five minutes ago begging for your life to be spared and you just showed up?
Katniss Everdeen:That means we have to save him.
Haymitch Abernathy:You could live a hundred lives and never deserve that boy.
Katniss Everdeen:Come on Haymitch. Nobody decent wins the games.
Haymitch Abernathy:Nobody ever wins games, period. There are survivors. There are no winners.
Katniss Everdeen:Peeta must survive. We must do everything to save him.
Haymitch Abernathy:All right, if they say your name, I'll volunteer in your place.
Katniss Everdeen:Heymitch, thank you.
Haymitch Abernathy:But if my name is called and Peeta volunteers, there's nothing I can do.
Katniss Everdeen:You can help him in the arena like you did me.
Haymitch Abernathy:I think these games will be different.
Katniss Everdeen:I don't care, do what you can. Peeta lives, not me.
[looks at him briefly]
Katniss Everdeen:Prometeme.
Haymitch Abernathy:Bueno.
[Katniss and Gale sit in their usual place near the forest]
Gale Hawthorn:We should have gone like you said.
[Katniss looks at Gale for a moment before kissing him, then stands and walks away; later escorted by Peacekeepers, Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch walk to the stage set up in the town square, Effie is on stage to announce this year's District 12 tributes]
Bargain Effie:Warm welcome. Warm welcome. As we celebrate the 75th Anniversary and Third Quarter of the Hunger Games.
[from the side of the stage, Katniss looks at her mother, Primrose and Gale stand in front of the crowd]
Bargain Effie:As always, ladies first.
[Effie walks over to the bowl to draw the name, since Katniss is the only female winner in her district only her name is drawn, Katniss starts crying and Effie looks at her sadly]
Bargain Effie:District 12's female tribute, Katniss Everdeen.
[Tears roll down Katniss' face, she turns and goes to stand next to Effie]
Bargain Effie:Wonderful. And now to the men.
[Katniss looks at Haymitch, who nods to understand what he must do, Effie chooses a name from the bowl and walks to the microphone]
Bargain Effie:District 12's male tribute, Haymitch Abernathy.
Peeta Mellark:I volunteer as a tribute.
[Haymitch grabs his arm to stop him]
Haymitch Abernathy:I can't allow that.
Peeta Mellark:you can stop me
Haymitch Abernathy:Peeta...
Peeta Mellark:Let it go.
[Peeta walks over to stand next to Effie, Katniss looks devastated and bows her head as more tears roll down her face]
Bargain Effie:Very good. District 1.2 pays tribute to Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.
[crowd is what it looks like]
Bargain Effie:Well, all that's left is...
[Katniss' mother raises her hand in a three finger salute, followed by Primrose and Gale, then the rest of the crowd follows and does the same as Katniss and Peeta see everyone in the crowd with their arms raised in greeting, leading to the same thing that thread pulls Katniss]
Bargain Effie:Oh no. B-b-but, but…
Primavera Everdeen:Katniss!
[Katniss looks at Primrose as Thread drags her away]
Katniss Everdeen:I didn't say goodbye.
Primavera Everdeen:Katniss!
Commander-Thread:The plan is straight to the train.
Katniss Everdeen:No, I didn't say goodbye!
Primavera Everdeen:Katniss!
Katniss Everdeen:No!
[As Katniss loses sight of her family as they drag her into the building, she screams]
Katniss Everdeen:Goodbye!
[on the train as they head to the Capitol to begin preparations for the Games]
Bargain Effie:Good. Before I start, I had an idea.
Haymitch Abernathy:what you do not say
Bargain Effie:Katniss has her gold Mockingjay pin, I have my hair. I'll buy you two guys some gold.
Haymitch Abernathy:Why is that?
Bargain Effie:A tab. Show them we're a team. Well I can't just...
[Katniss smiles and takes her hand]
Katniss Everdeen:Gracias.
[looks at Katniss gratefully, Haymitch then puts out his hand and Effie takes it]
Bargain Effie:Good. Now everything will be different because it's a Quarter Quell. The Capitol spared no expense. A new training center, new tribute housings and of course a very special stadium. But this year you'll meet other winners, Capitol favorites. Clever, clever, skillful. And everyone knows each other, you two are the strangers.
[Arriving at the Capitol, Katniss and Peeta take the elevator to their new home in a huge building]
[that evening at the dinner table in his new home]
Haymitch Abernathy:I want you to forget everything you think you know about games. Last year it was a no-brainer. This year, you're up against all the seasoned killers.
Peeta Mellark:Good. What does this mean for us?
Haymitch Abernathy:That means you must have some allies.
Peeta Mellark:OK. I think so…
Haymitch Abernathy:Wow, you're not the problem.
[points to Katniss]
Katniss Everdeen:no
Haymitch Abernathy:Look, you start with a disadvantage. Most of these people have been friends for years.
Katniss Everdeen:That put us higher on their kill list.
Haymitch Abernathy:Do it like this, but I know these people. If you manage to do it alone, his first step will be to hunt you down. You both.
Peeta Mellark:Katniss, come on.
[Katniss hesitates a moment]
Katniss Everdeen:How could we trust each other?
Haymitch Abernathy:It's not about trust, it's about staying alive.
[Haymitch informs Katniss and Peeta about the winners by showing them pictures of the winners]
Haymitch Abernathy:Cashmere and Gloss, brother and sister, District 1. They won two games in a row. Capitol favorites. Many sponsors. You will be deadly.
[shows you the following picture of the winners from District 2]
Haymitch Abernathy:And the other half of the race pack? Brutus and Enobaria.
Katniss Everdeen:what about your teeth
Haymitch Abernathy:He had them filed into fangs so he could rip out people's throats.
She's engaged, I'll give her that.
[move to next picture of winners from District 3]
Haymitch Abernathy:wire and bee tea. No fighters, but brilliant and strange. Really tech savvy. He won his matches by electrocuting six tributes at once.
[moves on to the next winners from District 6, both now looking ill from excessive drug use]
Haymitch Abernathy:The morphlings. master of camouflage. They basically won their games by hiding until everyone else was dead. Since then self-medication, which I welcome. It's not a threat.
[moves to next picture of District 4 winners; refers to the male winner]
Katniss Everdeen:Finnick Odair, ¿verdad?
Haymitch Abernathy:Yes, he won his games at fourteen. The youngest of them all. Extremely humble.
Katniss Everdeen:Are you kidding?
Haymitch Abernathy:Yes, I'm joking. He's a peacock, a total strut. But he's the Capitol's darling, they love him here. Charming, intelligent and highly skilled in combat, especially in the water.
Peeta Mellark:What about the weaknesses?
Haymitch Abernathy:A; magazines
[we see a picture of an elderly lady]
Haymitch Abernathy:She volunteered for Annie. Mags was his mentor and basically raised him, if he tries to protect her in any way she exposes him.
Katniss Everdeen:A guy like that needs to know he's not going to make it, and when it comes down to it, he's not going to protect her.
Haymitch Abernathy:Well, Katniss, I just hope that when he goes, he goes fast. She's actually, um, a wonderful woman.
[Katniss arrives at the Capitol Arena in her costume and looks at the cheering crowd above as she walks to her carriage and pets the horse]
Katniss Everdeen:How did we get here, huh?
Finnick Odair:Katniss.
[Katniss turns to see Finnick coming toward her]
Katniss Everdeen:Hello Finnik.
Finnick Odair:Do you want a piece of sugar?
[has the Eimer]
Finnick Odair:I mean, it's supposed to be for the horses, but I mean, who cares, right? You've got years to eat sugar, while you and I, well, if we see something sweet, you better grab it.
Katniss Everdeen:No thank you. But one day I would like to borrow this outfit.
Finnick Odair:You look pretty creepy in that outfit. What happened to the pretty girls dresses?
Katniss Everdeen:I overcome them.
Finnick Odair:You sure have.
[he smiles smugly at her]
Finnick Odair:Too bad about this source thing. Well, you could have done it as a bandit in the Capitol; Jewelry, money, anything you wanted.
Katniss Everdeen:Well, I don't like jewelry and I have more money than I need, so. What have you actually done with all your wealth?
Finnick Odair:I haven't dealt with something as mundane as money in years.
Katniss Everdeen:So how do people pay to enjoy your company?
[he takes a step closer to her]
Finnick Odair:with secrets what about you, girl on fire? Any secret worth my time?
Katniss Everdeen:I am an open book Everyone always seems to know my secrets before I know them myself.
Finnick Odair:Unfortunately, I think that's true.
[Katniss notices Peeta approaching her; Finnick comments in a sarcastic tone]
Finnick Odair:I'm sorry you had to cancel your wedding. I know how devastating this must be for you.
[shoves the sugar cube into her mouth and smiles smugly at him]
Finnick Odair:you have a good day
[As he turns to walk away, Peeta catches up with her]
Finnick Odair:Peeta.
Peeta Mellark:Finnick.
[refers to Finnick as he walks away]
Peeta Mellark:What did he want?
Katniss Everdeen:To know all my secrets.
Peeta Mellark:You have to get in line.
[both smile and are then interrupted by the arena announcer]
Arenasprecher:The honors are piling up. The honors are piling up.
[Cinna joins them]
Zinn:Nobody will smile this time. I want you to look straight ahead as if the audience is below you for this entire event.
Katniss Everdeen:This should be easy.
Zinn:Press this when ready.
[he hands her a small device]
Zinn:Much luck.
[Katniss and Peeta enter the arena in their car behind the rest of the winner; Flickerman and Claudius Templesmith sit in the commentary booth and watch them]
Cesar Flickerman:Here you come! From District 12, our favorites.
Claudio Templesmith:Gut…
Cesar Flickerman:Or my favourite.
[both laugh; Katniss watches as they enter the stadium in front of the cheering crowd and when she is noticed by Snow uses the device Cinna gave her to simulate flames on her and Peeta's clothes]
Cesar Flickerman:There is!
Claudio Templesmith:Oh! fire in the house!
[As the crowd cheers, Katniss and Peeta, along with the rest of the winners, drive past Snow in their cars, after which the duo meets up with Haymitch]
Haymitch Abernathy:Kind. That's how you make friends out there, you two.
Katniss Everdeen:Well, we've learned from the best.
Haymitch Abernathy:I would like to introduce you to some special friends of mine. This is Seeder and Chaff from District 11.
[to Katniss' surprise, Chaff kisses her on the mouth, Haymitch and Chaff laugh]
Haymitch Abernathy:Yes, he is very nice. Don't invite him, he'll drink your liquor.
[a seeder and chaff]
Haymitch Abernathy:I will see you soon.
[and Katniss and Peeta]
Haymitch Abernathy:Let's remove some of that makeup and talk about those other tributes.
[as they start walking]
Katniss Everdeen:These honors are insane.
Haymitch Abernathy:No no all. He's a good guy.
[to the peacekeepers as they pass them]
Haymitch Abernathy:Continue.
[As Haymitch, Katniss and Peeta enter the elevator, Johanna Mason from District 7 enters behind them]
Juana Maurer:You look great.
Katniss Everdeen:Gracias.
[turns her back to them and starts untying her hair]
Juana Maurer:My stylist is an idiot. District 7. Madera. trees. Yuck! I'd like to hit him in the face with an ax. So what do you think? Now that everyone wants to sleep with you.
Katniss Everdeen:I don't think everyone...
[turns to Katniss]
Juana Maurer:I haven't spoken to you.
Katniss Everdeen:Bueno.
[a Peeta]
Juana Maurer:do you want to unzip?
[turns away]
Peeta Mellark:And.
[Katniss looks at Peeta disapprovingly after Peeta unbuttons Johanna's dress, she strips and makes Peeta and Haymitch smile while Katniss is upset, then when the elevator stops she winks at Haymitch and turns towards the doors]
Juana Maurer:Many Thanks. Let's repeat it sometime.
[she gets off the elevator]
Haymitch Abernathy:Gracias.
[and Peeta and Katniss]
Haymitch Abernathy:Johanna Mason Bezirk 7.
[As Katniss and Peeta walk to the training ground]
Peeta Mellark:Remember Katniss, today is about making allies.
[as they walk through the door, they notice that the male morphling in the corner is throwing up]
Katniss Everdeen:So far I'm not overwhelmed by our decisions.
Peeta Mellark:I guess we're just trying to figure out who to trust and work backwards from there.
[Katniss nods as she notices how fast Gloss is with her weapons, then watches Johanna with her axe, walks past Enobaria who is fighting wildly, then notices Beetee trying to show Wiress how to use a hunk wood makes a fire hit them]
Beetee:Friction creates heat, heat creates fire. And here it is...
Katniss Everdeen:You should move your hands down.
[waves his hands to show them]
Katniss Everdeen:And faster too.
[Sits down with them, Beetee tries to do as he is told and manages to get the log to smoke]
Cable:I love brute force.
Beetee:It's always useful.
[Beetee smiles at Katniss]
Beetee:Gracias.
[Wiress looks up and notices something]
Cable:Around the corner of the table.
[they look up to see Plutarch and the other Gamemakers at their station looking at them]
Katniss Everdeen:Plutarch?
Cable:No, next to him.
Beetee:force field.
Katniss Everdeen:How do you know?
Beetee:A shiny one.
[Katniss tries to find him]
Beetee:Top left.
[Beetee moves Katniss' face slightly so she can see the force field]
Beetee:There. you see it
Katniss Everdeen:It looks like glass.
Cable:To separate her and us.
Katniss Everdeen:Probably my fault, I shot her with an arrow last year.
Beetee:Ah, electromagnetic.
Katniss Everdeen:How can you know?
[Beetee and Wiress start laughing]
Katniss Everdeen:Is that it, is it obvious or something?
[Beetee and Wiress continue laughing]
Cable:It could also have a signal.
Beetee:look around All the holograms, the lights, blinking from time to time, why?
Katniss Everdeen:Because the force field uses too much energy.
Beetee:There is always a bug in the system.
