From now on, your job

is to be a distraction.

So people forget what

the real problems are.

- So what do we do?

- You're gonna smile.

You're gonna read the cards

that Effie gives you.

And you're gonna live

happily ever after.

Think you can do that?

Yeah?

Come here.

You're gonna be okay. I promise.

Katniss and I

want to share with you our victory.

And our gratitude to The Capitol

for bringing us together.

It was the bond of love,

forged in the crucible of The Games

that was our greatest prize.

For it is love and true love that

allows us all to bear our hardships.

That mends the heart and banishes

loneliness and gives meaning to our lives.

We also want to share with you

the sorrows of your losses.

The Tributes of this...

The Tributes of this district

were brave and noble warriors.

They brought honor to their families

and pride to their people.

We are all of us united, both victors and

vanquished, in serving a common purpose.

Thank you.

One day, I'm gonna volunteer.

Just like you did.

It was just a dream. I'm sorry.

It's okay. I get 'em, too.

Goodnight.

Peeta.

Will you stay with me?

Yeah.

Always.

We are all of us united,

both victors and vanquished,

in serving a common purpose.

- The power and glory of The Capitol.

- Put down the cards!

Tell us what you really think!

Panem today. Panem tomorrow.

Panem forever.

Your hair looks lovely, darling.

When did you start

wearing it like that?

Everyone at school wears

it like this now, Grandpa.

Snow is watching us.

If he wants you to pacify the districts,

I promise you, he's not happy.

Instead of being in love, you two sound like

you're reciting from a drilling manual.

You try reading that stuff

that Effie writes us.

Tell that to President Snow

when you see him two days from now.

I'm open to suggestions.

We could get married.

That's not helping.

I'm serious.

If, like you said, we're on this train

forever, it's gonna happen eventually.

Why not now?

It does make a statement.

I'll give you that.

Yeah, sure. Let's do it.

Just when you thought things

couldn't get more exciting going

into a very special Quarter Quell,

our two lethal lovers,

my favorite expression,

from District 12

have surprised us

with a new twist in their love affair.

Let's take a look.

A fairy tale ending

for two star-crossed lovers.

That's beautiful. Beautiful.

And then tonight,

the tour that began in the hollows

of District 12 will end where?

The Presidential Palace.

The party of the year.

Eyes bright. Chins up. Smiles on.

I'm talking to you, Katniss.

Now, there'll be photographers.

Interviews.

Everyone will be here

to celebrate you.

My Victors.
