Katniss Everdeen[to her baby]Did you have a nightmare? I have nightmares, too. Someday I'll explain it to you, why they came, why they won't ever go away, but I'll tell you how I survive it. I make a list in my head... of all the good things I've seen someone do. Every little thing I can remember. It's like a game. I do it over and over. Gets a little tedious after all these years, but... there are much worse games to play.

Peeta MellarkWhat do all those deaths mean? They mean that our lives were never ours. There was no real life because we didn't have any choice. Our lives belong to Snow and our deaths do, too. But if you kill him, Katniss, if you end all of this, all those deaths - they mean something.
Katniss EverdeenWe all have one enemy, and that's Snow! He corrupts everyone and everything! He turns the best of us against each other. Stop killing for him! Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol! Turn your weapons to Snow!

Peeta MellarkYour favorite color is green. Is that real?
Katniss EverdeenYeah. That's real. Yours is orange. Not bright orange. Soft, like the sunset.
Katniss EverdeenI'm going to kill Snow. Nothing good is safe while he's alive. And I can't make another speech about it. No more cameras. No more propos. No more Games. He needs to see my eyes when I kill him.
President SnowI wanted to tell you how very sorry I am about your sister. So wasteful. So unnecessary. Anyone could see the game was over by that point. In fact I was just about issue an official surrender when they released those parachutes.
President SnowYou really think I gave the order? We both know I'm not above killing children, but I'm not wasteful. I take life for specific reasons, and there was no reason for me to destroy a pen full of Capitol children. None at all.
[coughs up blood]
President SnowI must concede, it was a masterful move on Coin's part. The idea that I was bombing our own helpless children to hold back the rebels. It turned the last of my guards against me. There was no resistance left inside the Capitol or the mansion. Do you know it aired live? There's a particular savvy in that, isn't there? I'm sure she wasn't gunning for your sister, but... these things happen in war. My failure was in being so slow to grasp Coin's plan. She let the Capitol and the Districts destroy one another, then she stepped in to take power with 13's arsenal. Oh, make no mistake, she intends to take my place now. But... I've been watching you. And you watching me. I'm afraid we've both been played for fools.
President SnowOh, my dear Miss Everdeen. I thought we'd agreed never to lie to each other.

President Alma Coin[spreads her arms]Welcome to the New Panem. Today, on the Avenue of the Tributes, all of Panem, a free Panem, will watch more than a mere spectacle. We are gathered to witness an historic moment of justice. Today, the greatest friend to the revolution will fire the shot to end all wars. May her arrow signify the end of tyranny and the beginning of a new era. Mockingjay, may your aim be as true as your heart is pure.
President Alma Coin[message appears onscreen]Good evening. For those of you who don't know me, please allow me to introduce myself. I am President Alma Coin, leader of the Rebellion. I have interrupted a broadcast from your President in which he attempted to defame a brave young woman. "A face picked from the masses," he called her.
President Alma CoinAs if a leader, a true leader, could be anything else. I had the privilege of knowing a small-town girl from the Seam in District 12 who survived the Hunger Games and the Quarter Quell and rose up and turned a nation of slaves into an army! Dead or alive, Katniss Everdeen will remain the face of this revolution. She will not have died for nothing.

Johanna MasonWell, there she is. The Mockingjay. Oh, that speech you gave. Oh, man, feel. I mean, still have goosebumps.
[taking out Katniss' IV]
Johanna MasonYou don't mind, do you? They cut off my supply of morphling. There's this head doctor that comes in and sees me every day, trying to help me adjust to reality. Like some guy from this rabbit's warren actually knows anything about my reality. At least twenty times in a session, he tells me that I'm totally safe. Safe from the Capitol. Safe from Snow. What about you, Mockingjay? You feeling totally safe?
Johanna MasonI'm surprised they haven't found you a new lung. I mean, I've got two. Do you want one of mine? I mean, it's everybody's job to keep you alive.
Johanna MasonPartly. You're also a little hard to swallow. The whole tacky romance drama and the "defender of the hopeless" act. Even though it's not an act, which makes it even more unbearable. Feel free to take any of this personally.
President Alma CoinDon't be ridiculous. She can't come back now. She's mythic.

Gale HawthorneI should've volunteered to take your place in the first Games.
Peeta MellarkNo, you couldn't have. No, she never would have forgiven you. She needed you to be there and take care of her family, and you did. She can't lose you. She really loves you.
Gale HawthorneAnd the way she kissed you in the Quarter Quell. She never kissed me like that.
Gale HawthorneNo. No, you won her over. You gave up everything for her. Well, it's not gonna be an issue much longer. I doubt all three of us are gonna make it out of this. And if we do, then... it's her problem who to choose, right?
Gale HawthorneI do know that Katniss will pick whoever she can't live without.

Gale HawthorneWhat's the difference, Katniss? Crushing the enemy in a mine or blowin' them outta of the sky with one of Beetee's arrows. It's the same thing.
Katniss EverdeenWe were under attack in District 8. And that hovercraft wasn't filled with civilians.
Gale HawthorneDoesn't matter. Even if those civilians are just moppin' floors, they're helping the enemy. And if they have to die, I can live with that. No one who supports the Capitol is innocent.
Katniss EverdeenWith that kind of thinking, you can kill whoever you want. You can send kids off to the Hunger Games to keep the districts in line.
Gale HawthorneIt's war, Katniss. Sometimes killing isn't personal. Figured if anyone knew that, it was you.
Katniss EverdeenI, of all people, know that it's always personal.
Katniss EverdeenI can't. I guess that's the problem, isn't it? We blew up your mine. You burned my district to the ground. We each have every reason to want to kill each other. So if you wanna kill me, do it. Make Snow happy. I'm tired of killing his slaves for him.
Lumber rebelI'm not his slave.
Katniss EverdeenI am. That's why I killed Cato. And he killed Thresh. And Thresh killed Clove. It just goes around and around. And who wins? Always Snow. I am done being a piece in his game. District 12, District 2. We have no fight. Except the one the Capitol gave us. Why are you fighting the rebels? You're neighbors. You're family.

Gale HawthorneThis is another version of booby-trapping a resource.
Gale HawthorneThis one's designed to blind. Smoke clings to the eyes. That's an application of the hummingbird trap. You scare people so they flee in this direction into what they think is a safe haven.
Gale HawthorneYou think of it like a wolf den. You're not gonna fight your way in, so you've got two choices: you trap the wolf inside, or you flush 'em out. If we can't attack straight on, then couldn't we use our hovercraft to strike around it? We'll use the mountains. We'll hit weak spots in the peaks.
BeeteeWe could design the bomb targets in sequence using seismic data.
President Alma CoinI suggest we try the avalanche, but leave the train tunnel alone. Civilians can escape into the square, where our armies will be waiting for their surrender.
Commander PaylorWell, we should have every available medic standing by.
BoggsSquad 451, you're my unit. Lieutenant Jackson is my second-in-command. Each one of you is elite in some form of combat. But we are a non-combat unit. So we'll be following days behind the front-line troops.
CressidaYou're to be the on-screen faces of the invasion. The Star Squad. It's been decided that you're most effective when seen by the masses.
Lieutenant JacksonI'm not asking you again, Everdeen. Give me that Holo.
CressidaShe's telling the truth. Plutarch wants it televised. He thinks if we could film the Mockingjay assassinating Snow, it'll make the Capitol surrender before the casualties get too high.
Gale HawthorneWhile we're arguing, there's a hundred Peacekeepers on their way here.
Katniss EverdeenBoggs promised me that when the time came, you would help me.
President SnowI hope you've wakened me for something more urgent than an old man's health.
EgeriaThey survived. I don't know how. We picked them up on a surveillance cam.
President SnowLet me see. I... I need to see for myself.

President SnowAntonius, with our best troops crushed in the mountains and the rebels marching on us as we speak, what did we celebrate?
AntoniusThe death of the Mockingjay, sir. If Peeta didn't kill her, her own arrogance did.
President SnowOf course. That's the same facile thinking that led you to divert our best Peacekeepers into District 2. You have a habit of burying people before they're dead. If the Mockingjay were gone, the rebels would already be using her as a martyr. No, Minister Antonius, I'm afraid that is not what we were toasting at all.

President SnowThe rebels will reach the outskirts of the Capitol in a matter of days. We'll evacuate the outer blocks to let them in. I want all anti-aircraft defenses ready, so we're secure from the skies. Lure them into the city, and then our Gamemakers will make them pay for every inch with blood. I want every camera watching. We'll turn their advance into a celebration of suffering. Let each moment be captured for all posterity.
[Antonius begins choking]

BoggsOur instructions are to shoot propaganda footage on the battle-scarred streets of the Capitol. You were handpicked to intimidate their forces.
BoggsEven though we'll be working on abandoned streets miles behind the front lines, I guarantee you, wherever they put us, it will not be safe. This is a war zone. It is likely that we'll encounter both active pods and Peacekeepers. You're considered high-value targets to the Capitol. In the event of capture, you'll be given a nightlock pill. A poison that acts immediately. Lieutenant Jackson, do the honors.
[Jackson begins passing the pills out]
BoggsI've already briefed you on the pods. I remind you, they are on every block. Our unit has been given a Holo. A database that contains a detailed map of the Capitol and a list of every know pod. These pods can trigger anything from bombs to traps to mutts. We cannot move without this device. There's no guarantee that our database is complete. There could be new pods that we're not aware of. Because we don't want the Gamemakers to know we have this intel, it has a self-destruct on it. You flip this switch, say "nightlock" three times, and it blows itself and anything within a ten-foot radius. Stay within our unit. Even with the Holo, it's likely that new pods have been set. Whatever they contain, they are meant to kill you.

Commander LymePresident Coin, we're indebted to you for the reinforcements and the Mockingjay. But I'm not sure that anyone outside of 2 knows what we've been up against. This is the Nut. The Capitol's headquarters for all offensive operations. It's manned by both military and civilian personnel from District 2. As you can see, the fortress lies so far beneath the bedrock, it's untouchable. Yesterday, we attempted to take the northeastern gate. The enemy countered from higher up and we were forced to pull back. We took heavy losses.
Commander of D5Could we create a decoy? Send troops towards one gate, launch a staggered attack on another.
Commander PaylorWhose troops do you propose as a decoy, Commander?
President Alma CoinWe have the Mockingjay. Don't underestimate her. We could use her to erode support. She may be able to sway some of the loyalists.
Commander LymeYou've been underground a long time, Madam Coin. This isn't like the rest of Panem. Support for the Capitol runs deep here.
President Alma CoinThen there is no sacrifice too great. We need to control the arsenal inside that fortress. Even with every district in this alliance, we are outgunned.
Commander PaylorI won't commit my people to a ground assault just to pillage weapons.
President Alma CoinCommander Paylor, your people have suffered more than just about anyone else at the hands of the Capitol.
President SnowOur enemy is not like us. They do not share our values. They have never known our comfort and our sophistication. And they despise us for it. Make no mistake. They are not coming to liberate us. They are coming to destroy our way of life. They are coming to bury us.

Haymitch Abernathy[reading a letter from Plutarch] The war's over. We'll enter that sweet period where everyone agrees not to repeat the recent horrors.
