That's it? That's all we get?

"We're good?

So taciturn all of a sudden.

Peeta, give me some details!

Yeah, things are great here in 12.

Thanks to the generosity of The

Capitol, we've never been closer.

Twenty-five yards, to be exact.

Fantastic!

We'll be checking in with both of you

throughout the Victory Tour.

Thank you so much,

Katniss E verdeen and Peeta Mellark!

Wonderful!

Everybody in motion.

We are out of here in 10.

- That was nice acting.

- You, too.

Almost thought that kiss was real.

Come along, children,

we are on a schedule.

The train awaits!

Fabulous food, fabulous wine,

the massages, spa treatments.

I told them nothing but the

best for my two Victors.

It all needs to be...

Fabulous?

Exactly.

Now, the schedule is a bit of a bear.

12 days, 12 districts.

But it's mostly

parties, celebrations,

adoring fans to greet you

at every stop along the way,

and then we wrap it

up in The Capitol.

All you need to do is give a few

speeches, wave to the crowds,

and enjoy your time in the spotlight.

You've earned it.

What did you say?

Katniss.

I said, "Enjoy it, Katniss,

you've earned it."

By killing people-

Young lady...

I'm really not in the mood for a lecture.

I'll apologize to Effie later.

I thought you were Haymitch.

You don't have to

apologize to anybody.

Including me.

I know it's not fair of me to hold

you to things 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.

I've never been very good at friends.

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.

That about sums me up.

No, there's more than that,

you just don't want to tell me.

It's like I said, I'm...

See, Katniss, the way

the whole friend thing works

is you have to tell each

other the deep stuff.

- The deep stuff?

- Yeah.

Like what?

Like...

What's your favorite color?

Well, now you've

stepped over the line.

Seriously, though, what is it?

Green.

What's yours?

Orange.

- Like Effie's hair?

- No. Not that orange.

More like a sunset kind of orange.

Did you see that?

What?

Well, I never.

This is not very festive.

The mayor will make

some introductory remarks.

And then you just have

to say a few words.

It's customary, of course, to give a brief

eulogy to the district's fallen Tributes.

For 11, that's Thresh and Rue.

Here are the speeches.

I can do the talking if you want.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
