Hunger Games Final Flashcards
“And remember this. I’m not allowed to bet, but if I could, my money would be on you.”
Cinna
“I asked for District Twelve.”
Cinna
“Shoot me and he goes down with me.”
Cato
“But, Katniss, what a ride for you. I think the real excitement for the audience was watching you fall for him. When did you realize you were in love?”
Caesar Flickerman
“Katniss, I know you’ve had a shock, but I’ve got to ask. The moment when you pulled out those berries. What was going on in your mind . . . hm?”
Caesar Flickerman
“So, here’s what you do. You win, you go home. She can’t turn you down then, eh?”
Caesar Flickerman
“Forget it, District Twelve. We’re going to kill you. Just like we did your pathetic little ally . .. what was her name? The one who hopped around in the trees? Rue? Well, first Rue, then you, and then I think we’ll just let nature take care of Lover Boy. How does that sound?”
Clove
“I promised Cato if he let me have you, I’d give the audience a good show.”
Clove
“Where’s your boyfriend, District Twelve? Still hanging on?”
Clove
“Each of you will find that something in a backpack, marked with your district number, at the Cornucopia at dawn. Think hard about refusing to show up. For some of you, this will be your last chance.”.
Claudius Templesmith
“Greetings to the final contestants of the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games. The earlier revision has been revoked. Closer examination of the rule book has disclosed that only one winner may be allowed.”
Claudius Templesmith
“Well, if you put enough pressure on coal it turns to pearls!”
Effie
“At least, you two have decent manners … The pair last year ate everything with their hands like a couple of savages. It completely upset my digestion.”
Effie
“Don’t be ridiculous, Katniss. How could you possibly know an Avox?”
Effie
“How odd you two find it amusing. You know your mentor is your lifeline to the world in these Games. The one who advises you, lines up your sponsors, and dictates the presentation of any gifts. Haymitch can well be the difference between your life and your death!”
Effie
“Getting a knife should be pretty easy, but you’ve got to get your hands on a bow. That’s your best chance.”
Gale
“Katniss, it’s just hunting. You’re the best hunter I know,”
Gale
“We could do it, you know … Leave the district. Run off. Live in the woods. You and I, we could make it.”
Gale
“All right, I’ll make a deal with you. You don’t interfere with my drinking, and I’ll stay sober enough to help you … But you have to do exactly what I say.”
Haymitch
“He made you look desirable! And let’s face it, you can use all the help you can get in that department. You were about as romantic as dirt until he said he wanted you. Now they all do. You’re all they’re talking about. The star-crossed lovers from District Twelve!”
Haymitch
“More likely they’ll make your life hell in the arena.”
Haymitch
“When the gong sounds, get the hell out of there. You’re neither of you up to the blood bath at the Cornucopia. Just clear out, put as much distance as you can between yourselves and the others, and find a source of water.”
Haymitch
