Question of the Week #51: Quoting ‘Catching Fire’

3/4/2013Question of the Week

Before we delve into a new Question, I’d like to apologize to you all for failing to post a new question for quite some time.  My real life has been quite hectic for some time, and sadly some things fell by the wayside.  I’m hoping things have leveled out for me, so we can dive right back in with some regularity. :)

And with that it’s time for a New Question of the Week!

With the reveal of the new character portraits, marketing for Catching Fire is definitely ramping up and getting us more excited for the film.  We previously talked about what scenes we are excited to see, and now we want to talk a bit about your hopes for the script.

What are your three must have quotes for the Catching Fire film?

To join in the discussion, just write your answer in the comments below. And feel free to respond to others answers too. We look forward to reading your thoughts!

And be sure to check out all the previous QOTW questions in our archive.

  • When Peeta and Katniss are having the picnic.
    When Peeta and Katniss are discussing who should survive at the beach.
    When Katniss says the speech in district 11

  • So many:
    “Always.”
    - Peeta Mellark
    “But I feel as if I did know Rue, and she’ll always be with me. Everything beautiful brings her to mind. I see her in the yellow flowers that grow in the Meadow by my house. I see her in the mockingjays that sing in the trees. But most of all, I see her in my sister, Prim.”
    - Katniss Everdeen
    “They’ll still be one hundred percent as stupid as usual, so I figure my odds will be roughly the same.”
    - Haymitch Abernathy
    “I do. I need you.”
    - Katniss Everdeen
    “I just wanted to hold them accountable, if only for a moment. For killing that little girl.”
    - Peeta Mellark
    “They can’t hurt me. I’m not like the rest of you. There’s no one left I love.”
    - Johanna Mason
    “You just remember who the enemy is.”
    - Haymitch Abernathy
    “Careful. There’s a force field up ahead.”
    - Peeta Mellark
    Just to name a few. Lol

      I agree with all of those!!! And also how when Peeta is sleeping and Finnick and Katniss wake him and put their faces right in front if his and he gets really scared when he wakes up!!! And when Katniss thinks Finnick drowned but then he pops up right next to her and she’s like, “don’t do that!” And he says! “What? come up or stay under?” AND! When Johannah get angry at Katniss and Finnick picks her up and starts dunking her head in the water!!! Oh oh!!! And when Katniss get drunk with Haymitch!!!
      Soooo excited for the movie and every thing else!!! Can’t wait!!!!!

    its hard to pick 3 but
    #1 must have this “You just remember who the enemy is.”
    2. “Always” kind of big deal in the book
    3. “it starts at midnight”
    i had trouble picking between this and “I need you”

  • 1. “Stay with Me” “Always-Katniss and Peeta-go together, but extremely important lines. I don’t know if we will actually hear Peeta say it, but I kind of hope so.
    2. “Katniss, there is no more District 12.” Gale-I defintely hope he gets the last line of the movie.
    3. “You know, you could live a hundred lifetimes and not deserve him.”-Haymitch
    4. Just for grins and chuckles-”Want a sugar cube?”-so excited about Finnick’s entrance.
    Those are thre biggies with me…of course there are others.

  • 1. Johanna Mason in the arena:
    “Whole country in rebellion? Wouldn’t want anything like that!”
    2. Johanna Mason again bc I love her.
    “They can’t hurt me. I’m not like the rest of you. There’s no one left I love.”
    3. Haymitch to Katniss about Peeta.
    “You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him.”

    1) ” stay with me ” ” always ” that is the main one.
    2) ” you know,you could have a thousand lives and not deserve him. ”
    3) ” You just remember who the enemy are ”
    4) ” I don’t know. To show them that I’m more than just a piece in their games. ” I like that one in both books xxx

    2. “You just remember who the enemy is”. – Haymitch
    3. “Having an eye for beauty isn’t the same thing as a weakness. Except possibly when it comes to you”. – Peeta

    I don’t know why, but I always get so emotional when I think about the hunger games

  • I know this probably won’t happen, but I’m hoping for the scene in the cabin by the lake with Gale and Katniss almost verbatim. My favorite lines there are
    - I have a plan, you know
    - yeah, I bet it’s a stunner

    - Yes I think you’re crazy and yes I’ll still come with you.

    and of course,
    -I love you
    -I know

  • Oh I really want the cabin scene too! I loved it, but I’m not sure it will be in there :)

    I have more than one quote from Catching fire that i’d like to be featured:
    -Stay with me. Katniss
    -Always. Peeta
    -My nightmares are usually about losing you. Peeta
    -Want a sugar cube? Finnick
    -I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you. Peeta
    -I wish i could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live in it forever. Peeta
    To name a few…. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE

    Thank you and I love that quote to and I love all of the above especially ” I wish I could freeze this moment right here right now and live in it forever. ” and I like ” I just want to spend every moment of the rest of my life with you. “

  • “Finnick looked beetween us like he was confused but then shook his head as if to clear it” “What did he want-Peeta I got in real close to mimic Finnick. “He asked me if I wanted a sugar cube- Katniss What?-Peeta I’ll tell you more when my skin stops crawling-Katniss” and “Then I saw something that made me stop in my tracks, Finnick was kissing peeta.”

    “Oh, Finnick. Isn’t this the first time you haven’t looked pretty?” –Katniss Everdeen
    “I swear if you cry, I’ll kill you right here and now.” –Katniss Everdeen
    “Hey, Haymitch, if you’re not too drunk, we could use a little something for our skin.” –Katniss Everdeen

  • I would also love it when after Katniss convinces Peeta to fake propose to her, that he leaves and Haymitch says “He wanted it to be real.” Love that!! : )

  • Katniss26

    At the square when Gale is whipped and Peeta says “She’s his cousin and my fiancé and if you want her you have to get through us first.
