Quotes
-
Plutarch Heavensbee : Now, Katniss, you have been our mission from the beginning. The plan was always to get you out. Half the tributes were in on it. This is the revolution, and you are the mockingjay.
-
President Snow : Her entire species has to be eliminated.
Plutarch Heavensbee : Her species, sir?
President Snow : The other victors. Now, because of her, they all pose a threat. Because of her, they all think they're invincible.

[about Katniss]
President Snow : She's not who they think she is. She's not a leader. She just wants to save her own skin. It's as simple as that.
Plutarch Heavensbee : I think that's true.
President Snow : She's become a beacon of hope for the rebellion, and she has to be eliminated.
Plutarch Heavensbee : I agree she should die, but in the right way, at the right time. It's moves and counter-moves, and it's all we gotta look at. Katniss Everdeen is a symbol. Their Mockingjay. They think she's one of them. We need to show that she's one of us. We don't need to destroy her, just the image, then we let the people do the rest.
President Snow : What do you propose?
Plutarch Heavensbee : Shut down the black markets, take away what little they have, then double the amount of floggings and executions. Put them on TV, broadcast them live, sow fear, more fear...
President Snow : It won't work. Fear does not work as long as they have hope, and Katniss Everdeen is giving them hope.
Plutarch Heavensbee : She's engaged. Make everything about that. What kind of dress is she gonna wear? - floggings. What's the cake gonna look like? - executions. Whose gonna be there? - fear. Blanket coverage. Shove it in their faces. Show them that she's one of us now.

Plutarch Heavensbee : They're gonna hate her so much they just might kill her for ya.
President Snow : Brilliant.

Haymitch Abernathy : She's gonna lose it when she finds out about the boy.
Plutarch Heavensbee : She'll still cooperate, though.
Haymitch Abernathy : Without Peeta? There is no guarantee.
-
President Snow : She is preparing to fight.
Plutarch Heavensbee : That's our girl.
-
Plutarch Heavensbee : So how do you like the party?
Katniss Everdeen : It's a little overwhelming.
Plutarch Heavensbee : It's appalling. Still, if you abandon your moral judgment, it can be fun.
-
Plutarch Heavensbee : The more allies she betrays - the more friends she kills - the more she reveals her true self.
