The World Is Watching: Making the Hunger Games Page #3

---

None! Alright?

It's true.

Everybody knows it.

You know what my mother said?

She said, "District 12 might

finally have a winner!"

But she wasn't talking about me.

She was talking about you.

I'm not very hungry.

I'm done too.

Throw that metal

thing over there.

What?

No.

Haymitch says we're not

supposed to show...

I don't care what Haymitch said.

Those guys are looking at

you like you're a meal.

Throw it.

Hi.

Hey.

How did you do that?

I uh...

I used to take care of the

cakes down at the bakery.

I'll show you.

See?

Wow.

Yeah.

I think you have a shadow.

Tomorrow.

They will bring you in one by one.

And evaluate you.

This is important because high

ratings will mean Sponsors.

This is the time to

show them everything.

There'll be a bow,

make sure you use it.

Peeta, you make sure

to show your strength.

They'll start with District 1

so the two of you will go last.

Not on my house to put this...

Make sure they remember you!

Katniss Everdeen.

Hey Katniss.

Shoot straight.

Katniss Everdeen.

District 12.

Thank you.

For your consideration.

Are you crazy?

I just got mad.

Mad?!

You realize that your actions

reflect badly on all of us.

Not just you.

They just want a good

show, it's fine.

How bout just bad manners Cinna?

How bout that?

Well, finally!

I hope you notice, we

have a serious situation.

Nice shooting sweetheart!

Wha.. Wha... What did they...

What did they do when

you shot the apple?

Well, they look pretty startled.

What did you say... "Thanks for... "

...consideration. Genius!

Genius.

How do you think you're

gonna find this funny?

If the game makers decided

to take it out...

On who? On her?

On him?

I think they already have.

Loosen your corset and have a drink.

I would have given

anything to see it.

As you know the Tributes

are rated on a scale of

of careful evaluation.

The game keepers would

like to evaluate...

From District 1, Marvel.

The score of 9.

Cato, the score of 10.

Clove, the score of 10.

Four, score of...

From District 7...

From District...

Rue, the score of 7.

From District 12...

Peeta Mellark...

The score of...

Not bad. Bravo.

And finally...

From District 12...

Katniss Everdeen...

With the score of...

...eleven.

Congratulations.

I thought they hated me.

They must have like you girl.

To Katniss Everdeen...

The Girl On Fire!

At eleven?

She earned it.

She shot an arrow at your head.

Well, t'was an apple.

...near your head.

Sit down.

Seneca...

...why do you think we have a winner?

What do you mean?

I mean...

...why do we have a winner?

I mean if we just

wanted to intimidate

the Districts, why not round up

them all at once. Way a lot faster...

Hope.

Hope?

Hope.

It is the only thing...

stronger than fear.

A little hope is effective.

A lot of hope is dangerous.

It's track is fine..

As long as it's contained.

So...

So... contain it!

Right.

If she's staring at all my jewels,

she can't take her eye from...

Frankly... it was rude.

Oh, Haymitch.

You should join us.

We're having some of

your favorite dish.

Oh, lovely.

Where's Peeta?

He's in his room. Now listen...

Tomorrow's the last day.

When they let us walk with

our own Tributes right

before the game so you and

I will be going down at 9.

Well, what about him?

No, he says he wants to be

trained on his own from now on.

What?

It's kind of thing does happen

at this point if there's...

...only one winner. Right?

We should have some

chocolate covered stoke.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Your master of ceremonies...

Caesar Flickerman!

Thank you!

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

To the 74th Annual Hunger Games.

Now, there are five minutes they

are all going to be out here.

All of the Tributes

that you heard about.

Are you excited?

Let me hear it!

Amazing.

I don't feel amazing.

Don't you know how

beautiful you look?

No. And I don't know

how to make people

like me, how do you

make people like you?

Why do you made me like you?

That's different.

I wasn't trying.

Exactly.

Just be yourself.

I'll be there the whole time.

...and just pretend

you're talking to me.

Okay?

Okay.

Let's see if she

does indeed shine.

Let's have a warm round

of applause for Glimmer.

Glimmer, are you prepared?

Yes Caesar, I am prepared.

I like it, that's just...

Big round of applause.

Marvel!

Welcome Clove.

It's an honor to

represent my district.

So you're a fighter?

I'm prepared, vicious

and I'm ready to go.

Cato!

From District 12...

You know her...

...as the girl on fire!

Where we know it's Katniss Everdeen!

What?

I think someone's a little nervous.

I said that was quite and

entrance that you've

made at the Tribute's

Parade the other day.

Do you want to tell us about it?

Well, I was just...

...hoping that I

wouldn't burned it up!

When you came out of that chariot...

I have to say...

My heart... stopped.

To earn you experiences as well.

My heart stopped.

So did mine.

Now tell me bout the flames...

are they real?

Yes.

In fact I'm wearing them today.

Would you like to see?

Wait, wait, wait.

Is it safe?

What do you think folks?

I think that's a yes!

That was really something.

Katniss, that was something.

Thank you for that.

I have one more question for you.

It's about your sister...

We are all very moved,

I think when...

...you volunteered for

her at the Reaping.

Does she come to say goodbye to you.

Yes.

She did.

And what did you say to her?

In the end?

I told her that I would try to win.

That I will try to win for her.

Of course you did.

And try you will.

Ladies and gentlemen,

from District 12,

Katniss Everdeen,

The Girl On Fire!

You did it darling.

That was incredible.

Thank you.

Nice job sweetheart.

Thank you.

Nice dress too.

Are yours?

Peeta Mellark!

Peeta, welcome.

How are you finding the Capitol?

Don't say with a map.

Uh, it's uh... different.

It's very different.

Different? In what are?

Give us an example.

Uh okay, well the

showers here are weird.

Showers?

Yes.

We have different showers.

I have a question for you Caesar.

Do I smell like roses to you?

Um...

Do I?

Yeah.

Do I smell like it?

You definitely smell

better than I do.

Well I live here longer.

So Peeta...

...tell me.

Is there a special girl back home?

No, not really.

No? I don't believe it for a second.

Look at that face.

Handsome man like you... Peeta.

Tell me.

Well, there a...

There's this one girl that...

I had a crush on forever.

But I don't think she actually

recognize me until the Reaping.

Well...

I'll tell you what Peeta.

You go out there...

...and you win this thing.

And when you get home.

She'll have to go out with you.

Right folks?

Thanks but I uh...

I don't think winnings

gonna help me at all.

And why not?

Because she came here with me.

Well, that's bad luck.

Yeah. It is.

And I wish you all the best of luck.

Thank you.

Peeta Mellark.

District 12!

What the hell is that?!
