Quotes
-
Peeta Mellark : Katniss, I don't... I don't know kind of deals you made with Haymitch, but he made me promises too.
[Pulls off the necklace from around his neck]
Peeta Mellark : If you die, and I live, I'd have nothing. Nobody else that I care about.
Katniss Everdeen : Peeta.
Peeta Mellark : It's different for you. Your family needs you.
[Opens locket to reveal three pictures - Gale, Prim, and her Mother]
Peeta Mellark : You have to live. For them.
Katniss Everdeen : What about you?
Peeta Mellark : Nobody needs me.
Katniss Everdeen : I do. I need you.
-
Peeta Mellark : They won't touch Prim! All right?
Johanna Mason : Your fiancé's right. The whole country loves your sister. If they tortured her or did anything to her - forget the districts - there would be riots in the damn Capitol.
[Johanna screams at the sky]
Johanna Mason : Hey, how does that sound, Snow? What if we... what if we set YOUR backyard on fire? You know you can't put everybody in here!
[Everyone looks at her in disbelief]
Johanna Mason : What? He can't hurt me. There's no one left that I love.
-
Caesar Flickerman : But, Peeta, the wedding, the marriage, never to be?
Peeta Mellark : Well, actually, we got married... in secret.
Caesar Flickerman : A secret wedding. All right, do tell.
Peeta Mellark : We... we want our love to be eternal.
Caesar Flickerman : Of course.
Peeta Mellark : You know, Katniss and I... we've been... we've been luckier than most, and I wouldn't have any regrets at all, i-i-if it... if it weren't... if...
Caesar Flickerman : If it weren't... for what? What? What?
Peeta Mellark : If it weren't for the baby.
-
Johanna Mason : You guys look amazing.
Katniss Everdeen : Thank you.
Johanna Mason : My stylist is such an idiot. District 7, lumber. Trees. Ugh. I'd love to put my axe on her face. So what do you think, now that the whole world wants to sleep with you?
Katniss Everdeen : [scoffs] I don't think that the whole world...
Johanna Mason : I wasn't talking to you.
Katniss Everdeen : Okay.
Johanna Mason : [to Peeta] Will you unzip?
Peeta Mellark : Yeah.
[Peeta unzips her dress, Katniss glares at Peeta, Johanna disrobes completely then stares them down boldly, making for an awkward pause till the elevator stops at Johanna's floor]
Johanna Mason : [exiting] Thanks. Let's do it again sometime.
Haymitch Abernathy : Thank YOU. Johanna Mason, District 7.
-
Peeta Mellark : See, Katniss, the way the whole "friend" thing works is you have to tell each other the deep stuff.
Katniss Everdeen : The deep stuff?
Peeta Mellark : Yeah.
Katniss Everdeen : Uh-oh. Like what?
Peeta Mellark : Like, uh... what's your favorite color?
Katniss Everdeen : Well, now you've stepped over the line.

Finnick Odair : Katniss.
Katniss Everdeen : Hello, Finnick.
Finnick Odair : Do you want a sugar cube? I mean it's supposed to be for the horses, but... I mean who cares about them, right? They got years to eat sugar, whereas you and I... well, if we see something sweet we better grab it.
Katniss Everdeen : No thanks, but I would love to borrow that outfit someday.
Finnick Odair : You look pretty terrifying in that get up. What happened to the pretty little girl dresses?
Katniss Everdeen : I outgrew them.
Finnick Odair : You certainly did. Shame about this quell thing. Now you... you could have made out like a bandit in the Capitol. Jewels, money, anything you wanted.
Katniss Everdeen : Well, I don't like jewels and I have more money than I need, so... What did you do with all your wealth anyway?
Finnick Odair : I haven't dealt in anything as common as money in years.
Katniss Everdeen : Well, then, how do people pay for the pleasure of your company?
Finnick Odair : With secrets. What about you, Girl on Fire? Any secrets worth my time?
Katniss Everdeen : I'm an open book. Everybody always seems to know my secrets before I know them myself.
Finnick Odair : Unfortunately, I think that's true. I'm sorry you had to cancel your wedding. I know how devastating that must be for you. Have a good day.
[Peeta walks up to them]
Finnick Odair : [exiting] Peeta.
Peeta Mellark : Finnick. What'd he want?
Katniss Everdeen : To know all my secrets.
Peeta Mellark : Hm. Have to get in line.

Katniss Everdeen : [hearing the door open] I'm really not in the mood for a lecture. I'll apologize to Effie later.
[She turns and sees it's Peeta who's entered the room]
Katniss Everdeen : I thought you were Haymitch.
Peeta Mellark : You don't have to apologize to anybody, including me. I know it's not fair of me to hold you to things that you said in the games - you saved us, I know that - but I can't go on acting for the cameras and then just ignoring each other in real life; so, if you can stop looking at me like I'm wounded, then I can quit acting like it, and then MAYBE we have a shot at being friends.
Katniss Everdeen : I've never been very good at friends.
Peeta Mellark : For starters, it does help when you know the person. I hardly know anything about you except that you're stubborn and good with a bow.
Katniss Everdeen : That about sums me up.
Peeta Mellark : No, there's more than that. You just don't want to tell me.

[looking at the District 2 Female Tribute, Enobaria]
Katniss Everdeen : What's with her teeth?
Haymitch Abernathy : She had them filed into fangs so she could rip people's throats out.
Peeta Mellark : She's committed, I'll give her that.
-
Katniss Everdeen : You were dead. Your heart stopped.
Peeta Mellark : It's okay. It's working now.
-
Peeta Mellark : [Eulogy for the fallen tributes of District 11] Though they fought and lived with honor and dignity until the end, both Thresh and Rue were so young. But our lives aren't just measured in years. They're measured in the lives of people we touch around us. For myself, for Katniss, we know that without Rue, and without Thresh, we wouldn't be standing here today.
-
[the morning of the games]
Katniss Everdeen : I don't want to be with anyone else in there. Just you.
Peeta Mellark : If that's what you want.
Katniss Everdeen : That's what I want.
-
Peeta Mellark : Remember, Katniss, today's about making allies.
[They enter the training Center which is mostly empty with the male Morphling vomiting]
Katniss Everdeen : So far, I'm not overwhelmed by our choices.
-
[from trailer]
Katniss Everdeen : Haymitch, please. Please, just help me get through this trip.
Haymitch Abernathy : This trip doesn't end when you get back home.
Peeta Mellark : So what do we do?
Haymitch Abernathy : From now on, your job is to be a distraction so people forget what the real problems are.
-
Peeta Mellark : [after almost dying from walking into a force field disguised as a jungle] Be careful, it's a force field up there.
-
Haymitch Abernathy : Good news. At least half the tributes want you as an ally.
Peeta Mellark : Well, they saw her shoot.
Haymitch Abernathy : Hm. Well, sweetheart, you got your pick of the litter.
Katniss Everdeen : I want Wiress and Beetee.
Peeta Mellark : Johanna calls them Nuts and Volts.
Haymitch Abernathy : Well, okay, good. Now, who else?
Katniss Everdeen : Mags.
[Peeta turns away while rolling his eyes, clearly frustrated]
Katniss Everdeen : All right, fine, then no one.
Haymitch Abernathy : I'll tell them you're still making up your mind.
-
Katniss Everdeen : You know and I know there's only one person walking out of here, and it's gonna be one of us.
Peeta Mellark : The Careers are still out there. If we stick with these guys till midnight and... and if we hear a cannon, we go.
