Cinna: It's not real fire. These suits are built so you won't feel a thing.
President Snow: Welcome, and happy Hunger Games.
Caesar Flickerman: Glimmer, are you prepared?
Glimmer: Yes, Caesar, I am VERY prepared.
Caesar Flickerman: I like that assurance. That's self-assurance.
Haymitch Abernathy: Gimme a chance to wake up, sweetheart. This mentoring is very... taxing stuff.
Caesar Flickerman: I think someone's a little nervous. I said, that was quite an entrance you made at the Tribute's Parade the other day. You wanna tell us about it?
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.
[to crowd]
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!
