The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Page #5

a little kindling and warmth.

- Bit of oxygen.

- Oxygen.

One sure way to put it out

is to smother it.

Or to use up all the air in the room.

Excuse me.

You know what could use

a revolution? That hair.

Effie?

- What are you doing here?

- I'm a political refugee.

- Plutarch rescued you?

- Rescued, yes, that's what he calls it.

You and I were both in the dark.

Now I'm condemned

to this life of jumpsuits.

It is wonderful to see you again.

Can you believe this place?

I miss coffee.

I never knew anyplace

could be so strict. I mean,

I thought at least

in the higher ranks there'd be some...

side action. I miss my wigs.

Luckily, I remembered that this was

all the rage when I was coming up.

You know, everything old

can be made new again.

Like democracy.

Which brings me to this.

Cinna.

He's dead, isn't he?

Yes, dear.

He made Plutarch promise

not to show you this

until you'd decided to be

The Mockingjay on your own.

He knew the risks. As we all do.

He believed in this revolution.

He believed in you.

They're beautiful.

They have it.

They have the Mockingjay outfit.

There's not much of a prep team

here in 13 but we will make you

the best-dressed rebel in history.

Okay.

Bring up the lights.

Cinna's final touch.

Everyone's either gonna wanna

kiss you, kill you, or be you.

Perfect.

Absolutely perfect.

Okay. Let's bring up the setting.

Little wind.

Okay, Katniss, we're gonna

start you down on one knee.

And as you rise up, you're gonna hold

your flag in the air and deliver your line.

And remember you've just stormed

the outskirts of the Capitol

arm-in-arm with your

brothers and sisters.

Okay.

Whenever you're ready.

People of Panem,

we fight, we dare, we...

Does she know the line?

- I know it. I got it. I'm sorry.

- Okay, All right.

- Let's do it again.

- She's warming up.

All right. With energy. Go.

People of Panem, we fight!

We dare to end this hunger for justice!

You've just been in battle!

I'm sorry. Excuse my outburst.

You've just been in battle.

Let's try it again.

Whenever you're ready.

People of Panem, we fight!

We dare to end this hunger for justice.

And that, my friends,

is how a revolution dies.

Hello, Katniss.

This how you greet an old friend?

Maybe I don't recognize you sober.

I guess it looks as bad as it feels.

People of Panem, we fight!

We dare! We end this hunger for justice!

Madam President,

indulge me for a moment, if you would.

Let's everybody think of one incident where

Katniss Everdeen genuinely moved you.

Not where you were jealous of her hairstyle

or her dress went up in flames

or she made a halfway

decent shot with an arrow.

And not where Peeta made you like her.
