The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Page #6

No, I'd like you all to think of one moment

where she made you feel something real.

When she volunteered

for her sister at the Reaping.

Excellent example.

Okay.

I hope that wasn't important.

Okay. "Volunteer for sister."

Good. What else?

When she sang that song for little Rue.

Oh, yeah.

Who didn't get choked up at that?

You know, I like you better, Effie,

without all that make up.

Well, I like you better sober.

When she chose Rue as an ally, as well.

- Yes.

- Now, what do all these have in common?

No one told her what to do.

Unscripted, yes. So maybe we

should just leave her alone.

And wash her face.

She's still a girl.

You made her look 35.

The opportunities for spontaneity

are obviously lacking below ground.

So what you're suggesting

is we toss her into combat?

I can't sanction putting

an untrained civilian

in battle just for effect.

This is not the Capitol.

That is exactly what I'm suggesting.

Put her in the field.

- No, we can't protect her.

- It has to come from her.

That's what people respond to.

You want a symbol for the revolution?

She cannot be coached into it.

Trust me, I know.

Maybe there's someplace

that's less dangerous.

District 8. They reported heavy bombing last

week. There are no military targets left.

- We can't guarantee her safety.

- You'll never be able to guarantee my safety.

- I wanna go.

- And if you're killed?

Make sure you get it on camera.

I've made you some surprises.

Maybe you wanna try one out.

If you're gonna be a part of Katniss'

propo team, you may as well look the part.

And this one is for you.

Plutarch wanted you to have a weapon

for the sake of the propos but...

I couldn't just make you

a fashion accessory.

It's beautiful.

And look here.

Regular. Incendiary. Explosive arrows.

All colour-coded.

And tell Finnick

I've got a trident for him

when he's ready.

Might just cheer him... Cheer him up.

Let's not fire the red ones in here.

You had all of this and you just left

the districts to fend for themselves?

It's not that simple, Katniss.

We barely survived.

We weren't in any kind of shape

to launch a counter-attack.

Yeah, we could've bombed the Capitol

but they would've retaliated

with at least twice the firepower.

Then what?

There would've been nobody

left to claim victory.

Sounds like exactly what Peeta said

and then you all called him a traitor.

This way, soldier.

You are camera-ready.

Doesn't your comrade look handsome?

Let's go.

Come back safe.

Quick introductions, Katniss.

These people have come a long way to

support the cause. This is Cressida.

In my opinion one of the best

up-and-coming directors in the Capitol.
