— What's goin' on in your head?
— I don't know.
— That's like kissing someone who's drunk.
— You love me.
— Real or not real?
— Real.
— Stay alive.
— If I see you again, it's gonna be a different world.
— Promise me you'll find it.
— Find what?
— The life of a Victor.
I never asked for this. I never asked to be in the Games. I never asked to be The Mockingjay. Just wanted to save my sister. And keep Peeta alive.
— Give me one reason I shouldn't shoot you.
— I can't. I guess that's the problem, isn't it? We blew up your mine. You burned my district to the ground. We each have every reason to want to kill each other.
So if you wanna kill me, do it. Make Snow happy. I'm tired of killing his slaves for him.
— I'm not his slave.
— I am. That's why I killed Cato. And he killed Thresh. And Thresh killed Clove. It just goes around and around. And who wins? Always Snow. I am done being a piece in his game. District 12, District 2. We have no fight. Except the one The Capitol gave us. Why are you fighting the rebels? You're neighbors. You're family.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run, so we’d both be free.

No stranger would it be

— I've never been very good at friends.
— For starters, it does help when you know the person. I hardly know anything about you except that you're stubborn and good with a bow.
— That about sums me up.
— No, there's more than that, you just don't want to tell me.
— It's like I said, I'm...
— See, Katniss, the way the whole friend thing works is you have to tell each other the deep stuff.
— The deep stuff?
— Yeah.
— Uh-oh. Like what?
— Like, uh... What's your favorite color?
— Well, now you've stepped over the line.
— You're still trying to protect me. Real or not real?
— Real. That's what you and I do. Keep each other alive.
— It's war, Katniss. Sometimes killing isn't personal. Figured if anyone knew that, it was you.
— I, of all people, know that it's always personal.
