The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 Quotes

[Katniss has just escaped for the Capitol]
President Alma Coin: What is she doing?
Plutarch Heavensbee: [nonchalant, shrugs slightly] I don't know. It's so frustrating when she goes rogue.
President Alma Coin: This isn't just adolescent, it's insubordination.
Plutarch Heavensbee: Put her on the first

hovercraft back.
President Alma Coin: Don't be ridiculous. She can't come back now. She's mythic.

Gale Hawthorne: I saw Peeta before we left.
Katniss Everdeen: And what did you think?
Gale Hawthorne: Something selfish.
Katniss Everdeen: That you don't have to be jealous of him anymore.
Gale Hawthorne: No. I don't stand a chance if he doesn't get better. You'll never let him go.

Peeta Mellark: There was an attack on 12.
Primrose Everdeen: Yes.
Peeta Mellark: My family?
Primrose Everdeen: The bakery didn't survive.
Peeta Mellark: It's Katniss. It's because of Katniss.
Primrose Everdeen: Wasn't because of her.
Peeta

Mellark: She tell you to say that?
Primrose Everdeen: She didn't tell me anything.
Peeta Mellark: She's a liar, Prim. It's a trick.
Primrose Everdeen: Peeta, what you're saying isn't real.
Peeta Mellark: She sent you here to talk to me. She knows you're here now.
Primrose

Everdeen: It's okay.
Peeta Mellark: She knows... you can't trust her! She's a monster! She's a mutt that the Capitol created to destroy us!
Haymitch Abernathy: [to Plutarch] Get her out of there.
Peeta Mellark: Do you understand me? You have to kill her, Prim! You have to kill her!
Plutarch

Heavensbee: Katniss?
Peeta Mellark: She's a mutt!
Plutarch Heavensbee: This is just a conditioned response.
Peeta Mellark: Kill her!
Plutarch Heavensbee: It's not him.
Peeta Mellark: She's a monster! She's a mutt!
Katniss Everdeen: No, it's not

him.
Peeta Mellark: She's a mutt!

Gale Hawthorne: I should've volunteered to take your place in the first Games.
Peeta Mellark: No, 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 Hawthorne: And the way she kissed you in the Quarter Quell. She

never kissed me like that.
Peeta Mellark: Oh, just part of the show.
Gale Hawthorne: No. 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?
Peeta Mellark: Yeah.

Gale Hawthorne: I do know that Katniss will pick whoever she can't live without.

Katniss Everdeen: Snow has to pay for what he's done. I wanna help the rebels in any way I can.
President Alma Coin: It's hard to see Peeta this way.
Katniss Everdeen: That's not Peeta. Send me to the Capitol. I'll do anything.
President Alma Coin: I can't. I can't send you there. We can't get into the Capitol

until we control District 2.
Katniss Everdeen: Then send me to 2. You want me to fire up our troops? Call out to the loyalists? You've seen what I can do.
President Alma Coin: Yes, I have.

Gale Hawthorne: This is another version of booby-trapping a resource.
Beetee: Right, I see.
Gale Hawthorne: This 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.
Beetee:

Two-tiered explosion.
Gale Hawthorne: You allow people enough time to rush in, help the wounded, then...
Katniss Everdeen: A second bomb.
Gale Hawthorne: Right. Second one goes off here.
Katniss Everdeen: I guess there are no rules anymore about what a person can do to another person.

Gale Hawthorne: I don't think Snow used any rulebook when he hijacked Peeta.

Commander Lyme: President 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 D5: Could we create a decoy? Send troops towards one gate, launch a staggered attack on another.
Commander Paylor: Whose troops do you propose as a decoy, Commander?

President Alma Coin: We 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 Lyme: You'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 Coin: Then 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 Paylor: I won't commit my people to a ground assault just to pillage weapons.
President Alma Coin: Commander Paylor, your people have suffered more than just about anyone else at the hands of the Capitol.

Commander Paylor: Which is why I won't condone a mass suicide.

President Alma Coin: If we don't take District 2, we won't get into the Capitol.
Gale Hawthorne: Would it be enough to disable the fortress instead of taking it?
Commander Lyme: What do you have in mind?
Gale Hawthorne: You 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.
Beetee: We could design the bomb targets in sequence using seismic data.
Commander Lyme: Trigger avalanches.
Gale

Hawthorne: Block all exits, cut off their supplies. You make it impossible for them to launch their hovercraft.
Commander Paylor: Bury them alive.
President Alma Coin: We'd forfeit any chance to control the weapons.
Beetee: Yes, but we'd face a weakened Capitol.
Boggs: There's civilians in

there. They should be given a chance to surrender. Could use one of the supply tunnels for the evacuees.
Gale Hawthorne: It's a luxury we weren't given when they firebombed 12.
Katniss Everdeen: There's gotta be a better way.
President Alma Coin: I 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 Paylor: Well, we should have every available medic standing by.
Commander Lyme: And if they won't surrender?
President Alma Coin: Then we will need a compelling voice to persuade them.

Gale Hawthorne: What'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 Everdeen: We were under attack in District 8. And that hovercraft wasn't filled with civilians.
Gale Hawthorne: Doesn'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 Everdeen: With 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 Hawthorne: It's war, Katniss. Sometimes killing isn't

personal. Figured if anyone knew that, it was you.
Katniss Everdeen: I, of all people, know that it's always personal.

Lumber rebel: Give me one reason I shouldn't shoot you.
Boggs: Drop the gun!
Katniss Everdeen: I 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 rebel: I'm not his slave.
Katniss Everdeen: I 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.

President Snow: Antonius, with our best troops crushed in the mountains and the rebels marching on us as we speak, what did we celebrate?
Antonius: The death of the Mockingjay, sir. If Peeta didn't kill her, her own arrogance did.
President Snow: Of 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 Snow: The 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]
President Snow: So, what did we toast tonight, Minister Antonius? We toasted a glorious era coming to its bitter end.

Johanna Mason: Well, there she is. The Mockingjay. Oh, that speech you gave. Oh, man, feel. I mean, still have goosebumps.
[taking out Katniss' IV]
Johanna Mason: You 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?
Katniss Everdeen: 'Till I got shot.
Johanna Mason: Oh, please. The bullet didn't even touch you. Cinna saw to that. Of course your

costume would be bulletproof. So, what are your injuries?
Katniss Everdeen: Bruised ribs, bruised lung.
Johanna Mason: I'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.
Katniss Everdeen: Is that why you hate me?
Johanna

Mason: Partly. 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.
