Jennifer Lawrence: Katniss Everdeen

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Katniss Everdeen

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.

Katniss Everdeen: I just wanted to say that I didn't know Thresh, I only spoke to him once. He could have killed me, but instead he showed me mercy. That's a debt I'll never be able to repay. I did know Rue. She wasn't just my ally, she was my friend. I see her in the flowers that grow in the meadow by my house. I hear her in the Mockingjay song. I see her in my sister Prim. She was too young, too gentle, and I couldn't save her. I'm sorry.

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.

Katniss Everdeen: Nobody decent ever wins the games.
Haymitch Abernathy: Nobody ever wins the games. Period. There are survivors. There's no winners.

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.

Gale Hawthorne: Saw some turkeys on the way here. Crossed right in front of me like I wasn't even there.
Katniss Everdeen: How rude of them.

Katniss Everdeen: It must be a fragile system if it can be brought down by just a few berries.

Effie Trinket: We're a team, aren't we? And I'm so proud of my victors. So proud. You're so... Well, you both deserved so much better.
Katniss Everdeen: Thank you, Effie.
Effie Trinket: I am truly sorry.

Cinna: No waving and smiling this time. I want you to look straight ahead as if the audience and this whole event are beneath you.
Katniss Everdeen: That should be easy.

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.

[looking at the District 4 Male Tribute]
Katniss Everdeen: Finnick Odair, right?
Haymitch Abernathy: Yes. He won the games at 14. Youngest ever. Extremely humble.
Katniss Everdeen: You're kidding.
Haymitch Abernathy: Yes, I'm kidding. He's a peacock, a total preener. But he's the Capitol darling. They love him here. Charming, smart and very skilled at combat, especially in water.
