Quotes
-
Haymitch Abernathy : [referring to Katniss and Peeta] Now, I can sell the star-crossed lovers from District 12.
Katniss Everdeen : We are NOT star-crossed lovers.
Haymitch Abernathy : It's a television show, and being in love with that boy might just get you sponsors which could save your damn life.
-
Katniss Everdeen : [bows] Thank you... for your consideration.
-
[last lines]
Peeta Mellark : So what happens when we get back?
Katniss Everdeen : I don't know. I guess we try to forget.
Peeta Mellark : I don't wanna forget.
-
Katniss Everdeen : May the odds be ever in your favor.
-
Katniss Everdeen : What the hell was that? You don't talk to me and then you say you have a crush on me? You say you want to train alone? Is this how you want to play? Huh?
Haymitch Abernathy : Stop! Stop it!
Katniss Everdeen : Let's start right now!
-
Katniss Everdeen : Listen to them.
Peeta Mellark : Yeah. 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-I-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, you know, I'm sure I would just like anybody 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. You know, if I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me. Does that make any sense?
Katniss Everdeen : Yeah. I just can't afford to think like that. I have my sister.
Peeta Mellark : Yeah, I know.
[looks at each other]
Peeta Mellark : [sighs] Guess I'll see you tomorrow.
Katniss Everdeen : See you tomorrow.
-
Haymitch Abernathy : Nice shooting, sweetheart. What-what-what did they... what did they do when you... shot the apple?

Katniss Everdeen : Of course. Maybe I can. I am smart, you know.

Katniss Everdeen : Exactly.
-
Gale Hawthorne : We could do it, you know. Take off, live in the woods. What we do anyway.
Katniss Everdeen : They'd catch us.
Gale Hawthorne : Well, maybe not.
Katniss Everdeen : Cut out our tongues or worse. We wouldn't make it five miles.
-
Katniss Everdeen : I volunteer! I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!
Effie Trinket : [pause] Uh... I believe we have a volunteer.
-
Gale Hawthorne : What if they did? Just one year. What if everyone just stopped watching?
Katniss Everdeen : But they won't, Gale.
Gale Hawthorne : What if they did? What if we did?
Katniss Everdeen : Won't happen.
Gale Hawthorne : You root for your favorite, you cry when they get killed. It's sick.
Katniss Everdeen : Gale.
Gale Hawthorne : No one watches and they don't have a game. It's as simple as that. What?
Katniss Everdeen : Nothing.
Gale Hawthorne : Fine. Laugh at me.
Katniss Everdeen : I'm not laughing at you!
[starts smiling]
-
Katniss Everdeen : How many times is your name in today?
Gale Hawthorne : Forty-two. Guess the odds aren't exactly in my favor.
-
Cinna : Did they explain about trying to get sponsors?
Katniss Everdeen : Yeah, but I'm not very good at making friends.
Cinna : We'll see.
-
Primrose Everdeen : Wish I looked like you.
Katniss Everdeen : Oh, no. I wish I looked like YOU, little duck.
-
Katniss Everdeen : You need to get out of here. You need to get out of here.
Primrose Everdeen : No...
Katniss Everdeen : Go find mom!
Primrose Everdeen : No!
Katniss Everdeen : Prim, go find mom right now!
Primrose Everdeen : No!
Katniss Everdeen : I'm so sorry.
Primrose Everdeen : No!
Katniss Everdeen : Go find mom!
Primrose Everdeen : No!
Katniss Everdeen : Prim, leave before...
Primrose Everdeen : No!

Primrose Everdeen : NO! NO! NOOOO!
-
Katniss Everdeen : [to Haymitch] Peeta's strong.
Peeta Mellark : What?
Katniss Everdeen : He can throw a hundred pound sack of flour right over his head. I've seen it.
Peeta Mellark : Okay, well, I'm not gonna kill anybody with a sack of flour.
-
Peeta Mellark : I mean, she saved my life.
Katniss Everdeen : We saved each other.
-
Katniss Everdeen : Peeta! Peeta! Oh!
Peeta Mellark : Are you okay?
Katniss Everdeen : I heard the cannon. I thought...
[noticing the berries he's picked]
Katniss Everdeen : That's nightlock, Peeta! You'll be dead in a minute!
Peeta Mellark : I-I didn't know.
Katniss Everdeen : You scared me to death. Damn you.
[hugs him]
Peeta Mellark : I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-
Katniss Everdeen : It's okay. You're okay. You're okay. You're okay.
Rue : Did you blow up the food?
Katniss Everdeen : Every bit of it.
Rue : Good... You have to win... Can you sing?
Katniss Everdeen : Okay.
-
Katniss Everdeen : [to the cat] I'll still cook you.
-
Haymitch Abernathy : They're not happy with you.
Katniss Everdeen : Why, 'cause I didn't die?
-
Katniss Everdeen : What's this?
Hob Vendor : That's a mockingjay.
Katniss Everdeen : How much?
Hob Vendor : You keep it. It's yours.
Katniss Everdeen : Thank you.
-
Peeta Mellark : What was that?
Katniss Everdeen : It's the finale.
-
Katniss Everdeen : [discovers Peeta painting his arm] Hi.
Peeta Mellark : Hey.
Katniss Everdeen : How did you do that?
Peeta Mellark : I, ah... I used to decorate the cakes down at the bakery.
Katniss Everdeen : Oh.
Peeta Mellark : I'll show you. See?
[He holds his painted arm against the bark of a tree; the match is perfect]
Katniss Everdeen : Wow.
Peeta Mellark : Yeah.
-
Katniss Everdeen : Wanna see what I got you today? It's a mockingjay pin, to protect you. And as long as you have it, nothing bad will happen to you, okay? I promise.
-
Cinna : I'm not allowed to bet, but if I could, I'd bet on you.
Katniss Everdeen : Thank you.
-
President Snow : What a lovely pin.
Katniss Everdeen : Thank you. It's from my district.
-
Katniss Everdeen : We'll just get you some medicine.
Peeta Mellark : Katniss, I don't get many parachutes.
Katniss Everdeen : We'll figure something out.
Peeta Mellark : Like what?
Katniss Everdeen : Something.
-
[the Careers observe Peeta falling off a climbing net during group training]
Katniss Everdeen : Throw that metal thing over there.
Peeta Mellark : What? No. Haymitch said we're not supposed to show our skills...
Katniss Everdeen : I don't care what Haymitch said. Those guys are looking at you like you're a meal. Throw it.
-
Glimmer : [after seeing Cato fall from the tree while chasing Katniss] I'll do it myself.
[she shoots an arrow and misses]
Cato : Gimme that before I...
Marvel : Get her.
Marvel : Come on, come on, come on.
[he shoots an arrow and misses]
Katniss Everdeen : [calling down] Maybe you should throw the sword!
-
Katniss Everdeen : [after Prim's bad dream] It's okay. It's okay. You were just dreaming. You were dreaming.
Primrose Everdeen : It was me.
Katniss Everdeen : I know. I know, but it's not. It's your first year, Prim. Your name's only been in there once. They're not going to pick you.
-
Peeta Mellark : I think about that all the time. How I tossed you that bread.
Katniss Everdeen : Peeta...
Peeta Mellark : I should have gone to you. I should have just gone out in the rain and...
Katniss Everdeen : Shh.
-
Katniss Everdeen : Peeta, I got it! I got the medicine!
Peeta Mellark : What happened to you?
Katniss Everdeen : I'm fine.
Peeta Mellark : No, you're not. What happened?
Katniss Everdeen : The girl from 2, she threw a knife. I'm okay.
Peeta Mellark : You shouldn't have gone! You said you weren't gonna go!
Katniss Everdeen : You got worse.
-
Cinna : [when helping Katniss into her jacket, he reveals her mockingjay pin. Looks up at her and puts his index finger to his lips]
Katniss Everdeen : Thank you.
-
Katniss Everdeen : What was it?
Peeta Mellark : A sword. It's bad, huh?
Katniss Everdeen : It's gonna be fine.
[Katniss tries to tend to his wound]
Peeta Mellark : Katniss.
[Katniss doesn't reply and just tends to his wound]
Peeta Mellark : Katniss...
Katniss Everdeen : No! I'm not gonna leave you. I'm not gonna do that.
Peeta Mellark : Why not?
-
Haymitch Abernathy : [about Cato] He's a Career. You know what that is?
Katniss Everdeen : From District 1.
Haymitch Abernathy : And 2. They train in a special academy until they're eighteen, then they volunteer. By that point, they're pretty lethal.
Effie Trinket : But they don't receive any special treatment. In fact, they stay in the exact same apartment as you do, and I don't think they let them have dessert, and you can.
-
Katniss Everdeen : I'm not gonna hurt you.
-
Katniss Everdeen : He made me look weak.
Haymitch Abernathy : He made you look desirable, which, in your case, can't hurt, sweetheart.
-
Peeta Mellark : I remember the first time I saw you. Your hair was in two braids instead of one. And I remember when you... you sang in the music assembly and the teacher said...
Katniss Everdeen : Shh.
Peeta Mellark : ..."Who knows The Valley Song?" and your hand shot straight up. After that, I... I watched you going home every day... Every day... Well, say something.
Katniss Everdeen : I'm not good at saying something.
Peeta Mellark : Then come here... Please.
-
Katniss Everdeen : You look beautiful, but you better tuck in that tail, little duck.
-
Katniss Everdeen : Your medicine.
Peeta Mellark : You're not going alone!
Katniss Everdeen : Yeah. You need it and you can't walk.
Peeta Mellark : Katniss, you're not gonna risk your life for me. I'm not gonna let you.
Katniss Everdeen : You would do it for me! Wouldn't you?
Peeta Mellark : Why are you doing this?
-
Katniss Everdeen : You can't tune out again.
Katniss' Mother : I won't...
Katniss Everdeen : No. You can't. Not like when Dad died. I won't be there anymore, and you're all she has. No matter what you FEEL, you have to BE there for her. Do you understand? Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't... Don't...
-
Katniss Everdeen : What's that? What's that?
Flavius : Oh, we're just saying we might need to hose you down again before we take you to Cinna.
-
Katniss Everdeen : There's twenty-four of us, Gale, and only one comes out.
Gale Hawthorne : Yeah, and it's gonna be you.
-
Rue : Is all of that true?
Katniss Everdeen : What?
Rue : [coyly] You and him?
Katniss Everdeen : [laughs] So where are Cato and the others?
-
Katniss Everdeen : You too?
Peeta Mellark : Oh, hey.
Katniss Everdeen : Can't sleep?
Peeta Mellark : No, course not.
Katniss Everdeen : I'm sorry I went after you.
Peeta Mellark : You know, I meant that as a compliment.
Katniss Everdeen : I know.
-
Peeta Mellark : They have to have their victor.
Katniss Everdeen : No. They don't. Why should they?
-
Caesar Flickerman : And what did you say to her... in the end?
Katniss Everdeen : I told her that I would try to win. That I would try to win for her.
Caesar Flickerman : Of course you did. And try you will.
-
Katniss Everdeen : Take care of them, Gale. Whatever you do, don't let them starve!
-
Katniss Everdeen : So, why are you here, then?
Haymitch Abernathy : Oh. The refreshments.
Peeta Mellark : Okay, I think that's enough of that.
[tries to grab the drink and gets pushed down]
Haymitch Abernathy : You made me spill my drink on brand-new pants!
-
Katniss Everdeen : So you're here to make me look pretty.
Cinna : I'm here to help you make an impression.
-
Peeta Mellark : Now there's no way I'm letting you go.
Katniss Everdeen : Peeta...
Peeta Mellark : Please. Stay.
-
Effie Trinket : What's your name?
Katniss Everdeen : Katniss Everdeen.
Effie Trinket : Well, I bet my hat that was your sister, wasn't it?
Katniss Everdeen : Yes.
-
Gale Hawthorne : Listen to me. You're stronger than they are. You are. Get to a bow.
Katniss Everdeen : They may not have one...
Gale Hawthorne : They will if you show 'em how good you are. They just want a good show. That's all they want. If they don't have a bow, then you make one, okay? You know how to hunt.
Katniss Everdeen : Animals.
Gale Hawthorne : It's no different, Katniss.

[Katniss and Clove fight. Clove gets the upper hand, pinning Katniss to the ground. Clove holds a knife at Katniss's throat]
Clove : [smiles viciously] Where's Lover Boy?
[Katniss growls in rage]
Clove : Oh, I see. You were gonna help him, right? Well, that's sweet. You know, it's too bad that you couldn't help your little friend. That little girl, what was her name again? Rue?
Katniss Everdeen : [furiously] Yes!
Clove : Oh, we killed her, and now...
[Clove moves the knife near Katniss's right cheek]
Clove : ...we're gonna kill you.
[as Clove is about to strike, she is pulled away from Katniss by Thresh. He heard what Clove said about Rue, and is filled with rage. He slams Clove against the Cornucopia]
Thresh : You killed her?
Clove : [fearfully] No...
Thresh : I heard you!
Clove : [yells] CATO!
Thresh : You said her name!
Clove : [yells] CATO!
Thresh : You said her name!
[enraged at Rue's death, Thresh repeatedly bashes Clove's head against the Cornucopia, killing her. Katniss watches them in horror, unsure whether Thresh will attack her too. Thresh turns to Katniss and points at her]
Thresh : Just this time, Twelve. For Rue!
[Thresh runs away. Katniss grabs the bag with the number 12 and runs away]
-
Katniss Everdeen : We could go home. We could. We're the only team left.
Peeta Mellark : We could go home.
-
Cinna : Are you ready? Don't be afraid.
Katniss Everdeen : I'm not afraid.
-
Katniss Everdeen : Maybe Cato likes berries, too.
-
Katniss Everdeen : Trust me.
-
Caesar Flickerman : I think someone's a little nervous. I said, that was quite an entrance you made at the Tribute's Parade the other day. You wanna tell us about it?
Katniss Everdeen : [hesitant] Well, I was just... hoping I wouldn't burn to death...
Caesar Flickerman : [as crowd laughter subsides] When you came out of that chariot, I have to say my heart stopped.
[to crowd]
Caesar Flickerman : Did any of you experience it as well?
[crowd enthusiastically agrees]
Caesar Flickerman : My heart stopped.
Katniss Everdeen : [self-consciously] So did mine.
Caesar Flickerman : [laughs along with crowd] Now tell me about the flames. Are they real?
Katniss Everdeen : [still self-conscious] Yes.
[gets encouragement from Cinna in the crowd]
Katniss Everdeen : In fact, I'm wearing them today. Would you like to see?
Caesar Flickerman : Wait, wait, wait! Is it safe?
Katniss Everdeen : [laughs] Yes.
Caesar Flickerman : What do you think, folks?
[crowd roars approval]
Caesar Flickerman : I think they mean yes!
[she stands up, spins around, twirls the fire dress, a vivid display of flame, she wears sheer white stockings and white open-toed high heels]
Caesar Flickerman : Whoa! Steady, steady! Let me thank you, that was really something! Katniss, that was something, that was something, thank you for that!
-
Katniss Everdeen : It's okay, Prim.
Primrose Everdeen : No! No!
