The Hunger Games 2012 - Movie Quotes

Caesar Flickerman So, Peeta, tell me, is there a special girl back home?

Peeta Mellark No. No, not really.

Caesar Flickerman No? I don't believe it for a second. Look at that face. Handsome man like you. Peeta... tell me.

Peeta Mellark Well, there, uh... there is this one girl that I've had a crush on forever.

Caesar Flickerman Ah.

Peeta Mellark But I don't think she actually recognized me until the Reaping.

Caesar Flickerman Well, I'll tell you what, Peeta. You go out there, and you win this thing, and when you get home, she'll have to go out with you. Right, folks?

Peeta Mellark Thanks, but I, uh, I don't think winning's gonna help me at all.

Caesar Flickerman And why not?

Peeta Mellark Because she came here with me.

President Snow Seneca... why do you think we have a winner?

Seneca Crane [frowns] What do you mean?

President Snow I mean, why do we have a winner? I mean, if we just wanted to intimidate the districts, why not round up twenty-four of them at random and execute them all at once? Be a lot faster.

[Seneca just stares, confused]

President Snow Hope.

Seneca Crane Hope?

President Snow Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained.

Seneca Crane So...?

President Snow So, CONTAIN it.

Katniss Everdeen Listen to them.

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]

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.

President Snow [voice over] War, terrible war. Widows, orphans, a motherless child. This was the uprising that rocked our land. Thirteen districts rebelled against the country that fed them, loved them, protected them. Brother turned on brother until nothing remained. And then came the peace, hard fought, sorely won. A people rose up from the ashes and a new era was born. But freedom has a cost. When the traitors were defeated, we swore as a nation we would never know this treason again. And so it was decreed that, each year, the various districts of Panem would offer up, in tribute, one young man and woman to fight to the death in a pageant of honor, courage and sacrifice. The lone victor, bathed in riches, would serve as a reminder of our generosity and our forgiveness. This is how we remember our past. This is how we safeguard our future.

Cinna I'm not allowed to bet, but if I could, I'd bet on you.

Cato [holding Peeta in a rear-arm choke] Go on! Shoot, then we both go down and you win. Go on. I'm dead anyway. I always was, right? I didn't know that till now. How's that? Is that what they want? Huh?

Peeta Mellark No...

Cato I can still do this. I can still do this. One more kill. It's the only thing I know how to do - bring pride to my district. Not that it matters.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

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.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

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.

🥺

🤔

🥱

Peeta Mellark Have you ever met him? Haymitch? You know, Katniss, he is our mentor. He did win this thing once.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

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...

🥱

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.

Clove Oh, we killed her, and now...

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!

🥱

Katniss Everdeen [after Prim's bad dream] It's okay. It's okay. You were just dreaming. You were dreaming.

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 So, why are you here, then?

Haymitch Abernathy Oh. The refreshments.

Peeta Mellark Okay, I think that's enough of that.

Cinna Are you ready? Don't be afraid.

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.

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!

Haymitch Abernathy You really want to know how to stay alive? You get people to like you.

[Katniss stares]

Haymitch Abernathy Oh? Not what you were expecting? Well, when you're in the middle of the Games and you're starving or freezing, some water, a knife, or even some matches can mean the difference between life and death. And those things only come from sponsors. And to get sponsors, you have to make people like you. And right now, sweetheart, you're not off to a real good start.

Haymitch Abernathy It's a bloodbath, they're trying to pull you in. That's not your game. You turn, run, find high ground. Look for water. Water's your new best friend.
