Caesar Flickerman: Welcome, thank you. Thank you. Now, I’m sure you have all been waiting /such/ a long time for the Capitol’s announcement. Don’t worry, I have too. But! Tonight we have a special treat for your patience. So, please, help me in welcoming our next guest Peeta Mellark.

Peeta: Caesar, it's so good to see you again. How's Chelsea?

Caesar Flickerman: And you too Peeta, she is good, can't stop boasting about your brownies. Now Peeta, tell us. How has your stay been in the Capitol so far? Have you gotten into any trouble with any of the other victors?

Peeta: If I have, I can't remember it. We aren't really like that Caesar.

Caesar Flickerman: /Really?/ . With that aside, have you gotten along with a lot of the victors? I’ve been hearing it’s been like a big family in the time you’ve all spent here. Am I right?

Peeta: Of course Caesar, we all have a lot in common. We have all been taken from our homes and thrown together, we created bonds that way. Some of these people are my family now and I would do anything to keep them safe.

Caesar Flickerman: That’s touching really. I’m sure we’re all happy to hear that! So in this family of your’s is there any special someone that tickles your fancy? Rub you the right way? Catches your eye?

Peeta: No, sir.

Caesar Flickerman: Aww, come on now don’t be so shy. We’re all friends here, right?

Peeta: You know I only have eyes for your daughter.

Caesar Flickerman: Alright, alright. We can talk about it in private. On another note, I heard all the victors were required health checks. You came up clean, of course- right? No problems or difficulties? Any tumors or growths we should know about?

Peeta: As good as can be expected. I do have my prosthetic leg but that can't be helped.

Caesar Flickerman: Good! Good! We’re glad to hear it! Wouldn’t want anything to stump you during your tasks. Or tonight either! I hear you have a special performance tonight, correct? What exactly will you be doing?

Peeta: Ha! Stump! Nice one. Mine won't be as exciting as some of the others, I'm just going to share some of my paintings.
