HUNGER GAMES QUOTES
32.“If Peeta and I were both to
die, or they thought we were....My fingers fumble with the pouch
on my belt, freeing it. Peeta sees it and his hand clamps on my
wrist. "No, I won't let you." "Trust me,"
I whisper. He holds my gaze for a long moment then lets go. I
loosen the top of the pouch and pour a few spoonfuls of berries
into his palm. Then I fill my own. "On the count of
three?" Peeta leans down and kisses me once, very gently.
"The count of three," he says. We stand, our backs
pressed together, our empty hands locked tight. "Hold them
out. I want everyone to see," he says. I spread out my
fingers, and the dark berries glisten in the sun. I give
Peeta's hand one last squeeze as a signal, as a good-bye, and
we begin counting. "One." Maybe I'm wrong.
"Two." Maybe they don't care if we both die.
"Three!" It's too late to change my mind. I lift my
hand to my mouth taking one last look at the world. The berries
have just passed my lips when the trumpets begin to blare. The
frantic voice of Claudius Templesmith shouts above them.
"Stop! Stop! Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to present
the victors of the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta
Mellark! I give you - the tributes of District
12!”

33.“Peeta, you said at the
interview you’d had a crush on me forever. When did
forever start?
Oh, let’s see. I guess the first day of school. We were
five. You had on a red plaid dress and your hair...it was in
two braids instead of one. My father pointed you out when we
were waiting to line up."
Your father? Why?"
He said, ‘See that little girl? I wanted to marry her
mother, but she ran off with a coal miner.'"
What? You’re making that up!"
No, true story. And I said, 'A coal miner? Why did she want
a coal miner if she could’ve had you?' And he said,
'Because when he sings...even the birds stop to
listen.”
