KATNISS:
Prim! Prim!
Prim is about to step onto the stage when Katniss reaches
the stage steps and pulls Prim back and stands in front of
Prim.
KATNISS:
I volunteer! I volunteer as
tribute!
EFFIE:
That is lovely! But I believe
introducing the reaping winner and
then asking for volunteers, and
if one does not come forth we...
um...
MAYOR:
What does it matter? What does it
matter, really? Let her come
forward.
PRIM:
No, Katniss! No!
Prim wraps her arms around Katniss from behind.
PRIM:
(cont’d)
You can’t go!
KATNISS:
Prim, let go.
Prim does not let go.
KATNISS:
Let go!
Gale takes Prim from Katniss. Prim is thrashing in his arms
and screaming for Katniss. Gale carries Prim to her Mother.
Katniss walks onto the stage.

12.EFFIE:
Well, bravo! That’s the spirit of
the Games! What’s your name?
KATNISS:
Katniss Everdeen.
EFFIE:
I bet my buttons that was your
sister. Don’t want her to steal all
the glory, do we? Come on,
everybody! Let’s give a big round
of applause to our newest tribute!
No one claps. Haymitch staggers up to the stage yet again.
HAYMITCH:
Look at her! Look at this one!
Haymitch walks to Katniss, burps, and puts and arm around
Katniss.
HAYMITCH:
I like her! Lots of... spunk!
He staggers to the edge of the
stage and points at the audience.
HAYMITCH:
(cont’d)
More than you!
Haymitch points at a camera filming the reaping.
HAYMITCH:
(cont’d)
More than all of you! More than-
Haymitch falls off of the edge of the stage in mid-sentence,
becoming unconscious.
EFFIE:
What an exciting day! But more
excitement to come! It’s time to
choose our boy tribute!
She takes the first slip out from the boy’s raffle while
trying to hide the fact she’s fixing her wig. She reads it
aloud hastily.
EFFIE:
Peeta Mellark!
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:
13.Effie immediately goes to fixing her wig, and this time it
works. PEETA walks up to the stage and stands beside
Katniss.
EFFIE:
Welcome, Peeta! Now, if anyone
wishes to take is place, do speak
up! Any volunteers? No? Okay, how
about a round of applause for our
new District 12 boy tribute, Peeta
Mellark!
No one cheers but Effie.
EFFIE:
Very well done, my friends. Now,...
As Katniss is looking at Peeta, she has a flash back.
CUT TO:
EXT. Town bakery, District twelve streets- DAY.
It is pouring rain. YOUNG KATNISS stumbles by the bakery.
She checks the bakery’s trash bin. There is nothing in it.
The BAKER’S WIFE looks out and sees Katniss peering in the
trash bin.
BAKER’S WIFE
HEY! Get a move on, scum! Lousy
brats always pawing through our
trash... Go on, walk away!
Katniss slides the lid back onto the trash bin. The Baker’s
wife walks back inside muttering profanities to herself. She
drags herself away from the bakery. Katniss crumples beside
a tree.
CUT TO:
INT. Bakery- DAY.
YOUNG PEETA brings two loaves of bread to his Mother.
BAKER’S WIFE
What is this?! I thought I said
bakery bread, not burnt bread!
She slaps Peeta.
BAKER’S WIFE
Feed it to the pig, you stupid
creature!
