" what do you think the arena might be this year? "

"I scored a(n) [INSERT NUMBER BETWEEN 0 AND 12]. "

" teaming up with the careers? great! I'll arrange your damn funeral. "

" is that parachute for you? "

" i'm so thirsty/hungry... "

" MUTTS! "

" do those birds look familiar to you? "

" don't. move. a muscle. "

" how many tributes have you killed? "

" i'm out of arrows/darts! "

" you know... there's rumours of an uprising in some of the districts. "

" are you out of your mind?! keep that stuff to yourself! they'll have you shot if you win this thing. "

" did you bring in a token from home? "

" you have any family? "

" all those victors. you don't think about being one, you just think about... the odds. "

" i miss the food. "

" what did they make you wear for the parade/interview? "

" i'm not sorry. there can only be one winner! "

" why the hell did you save me?! "

" why'd i save you? beats me; maybe you're growing on me. "

" i could've swore i heard a parachute... "

" where are they? where'd they go?! "

" i'm not here to save you. "

" did you get anything from them? from the sponsors? "

" let's set up camp here. we can hunt for food in the morning, but not now. it's too dark. "

" I'm... I'm dying... Aren't I? "

" no, no, no, you're fine, you'll be fine. "

" WAKE UP! wake up, you selfish ass! don't you dare leave me here alone! KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME! "

" you got someone back home? a beau, as good ol' flickerman would say? "

" you can't leave me up here! DAMN YOU! get your ass over here and let me down! "

" let's make a pact. don't let them kill me. you hear? don't let the careers do it. you gotta promise me you'll do it if it comes to that. and make it quick. "

" why volunteer like that? you don't seem the type to have a death wish. "

" my mother thinks you'll win. "

" stop talking about winning. we both know we're not walking out of this alive. "

" think about your district. tell me about your district. "

" don't move! there's a trackerjacker nest above you! "

" get off of me! some ally you turned out to be, traitor! "

" you're my ticket to the top. don't worry. you'll be dead once I find your partner. "

" i can't kill you! "

" win for both of us! "

" my mentor is probably too high or too drunk to give a shit about my survival. "

" my escort wants me to get tattoos on my butt if I survive. I... I really don't know if I have it in me to survive if that's what's waiting for me. "

" it's gonna be okay. you'll win, I know it. and one day you'll tell your kids and your grandkids about me. right? that's reward enough. tell 'em about the one who almost won your heart. "
