The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 1 (2014) as President Alma Coin
View Quote
[Walks up to Katniss in empty cafeteria] There's no news. I'm sorry. It's the worst torture in the world. Waiting, when you know there's nothing you can do. Especially for people like us. But whatever strength, courage, madness, keeps us going, you find it, at times like these. You have it, soldier. It's what's kept you alive all this time. And it won't fail you now.

President Alma: [Making a speech to District 12 workers] Good afternoon. Thank you for interrupting your schedules. They have already been adjusted to compensate...
Katniss: [To Primrose] I hardly ever see any children around here.
President Alma: ...please check in with your unit...
Primrose: A lot of them were lost in an epidemic a few years ago. Coin lost her family too. Daughter and her husband. [Katniss spots Finnick and walks over to him]
President Alma: ...and our welcome guests from 12. Katniss Everdeen has consented to be the face of our cause, to help unite the Districts against the Capitol. In exchange, I have promised several concessions. First, we'll assess all opportunities for the extraction of the Victors held in the Capitol. Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason,
Katniss: [To Finnick] Finnick, I made the deal for Annie, too.
President Alma: ...and Annie Cresta. Once freed, they will be granted a full pardon for any and all crimes committed against the rebel cause. [There's an uproar amidst the workers]
Finnick: [To Katniss] Good. That's good, Katniss.
President Alma: If Katniss fails to fulfill her duties the deal will be off. Thank you for your attention. Please, resume your schedules. [Walks over to Plutarch and Effie]
Plutarch: Madame President.
President Alma: Effie Trinket. [To Plutarch] Welcome to 13.
Plutarch: Madame President, may I say you are so very... concise.
President Alma: You believe that there are more to be said?
Plutarch: May I speak freely?
President Alma: You don't appear to do anything else?
Plutarch: I'm only talking about salesmanship. The thing with revolutions, they're a tender flame. They need to be nurtured with a little kindling and warmth. Bit of oxygen.
Effie: Oxygen.
Plutarch: One sure way to put it out is to smother it.
President Alma: Or to use up all the air in the room. Excuse me. [Walks past them]
Effie: [To Plutarch] You know what could use a revolution? That hair. [Pats his shoulder]

Effie: [In response to Haymitch after the rebel leaders watch a propaganda clip of Katniss] When she volunteered her sister at the Reaping.
Haymitch: Excellent example. [Wiping off information of a electronic touch screen] Okay. I hope that wasn't important. Okay. "Volunteer for sister". [Writing a note] Good. What else?
Effie: When she sang that song for little Rue.
Haymitch: Oh, yeah. Who didn't get choked up at that? You know, I like you better, Effie, without all that makeup.
Effie: Well, I like you better sober.
Haymitch: When she chose Rue as an ally as well.
Effie: Yes.
Haymitch: Now, what do all of these have in common?
Gale: No one told what to do.
Beetee: Unscripted, yes. So maybe we should just leave her alone.
Boggs: And wash her face. She's still a girl. You made her look 35.
Plutarch: The opportunities for spontaneity are obviously lacking underground. So what you're suggesting is we toss her into combat?
President Alma: I can't sanction putting an untrained civilian in battle just for effect. This is not the Capitol.
Haymitch: That is exactly what I'm suggesting. Put her in the field.
President Alma: No, we can't protect her.
Haymitch: It has to come from her. That's what people respond to. You want a symbol for the revolution? She cannot be coached into it. Trust me, I know. Maybe there's someplace less dangerous.
Beetee: District 8. They reported heavy bombing last month. There are no military targets left.
President Alma: We can't guarantee her safety.
Katniss: You'll never be able to guarantee my safety. I wanna go.
President Alma: And if you're killed?
Katniss: Make sure you get it on camera. [Plutarch scoffs]

Amber Waves: Uh oh, here we go.
Jack Horner: How do you keep them in the theater after they've come? The beauty and the acting. No, I understand you've got to get 'em in the theater. You know, you've got to get the seats full. But I don't want to make a film where they show up, they sit down, they jack off, and they get up and they get out before the story ends. It is my dream, it is my goal, it is my idea to make a film where the story just sucks them in. And when they spurt out that joy juice, they've got to just sit in it. They can't move until they find out how the story ends. You know, I want to make a film like that. And I understand, they have to make films...I've made them myself, you know where there's a few laughs, everyone ****s their brains out. And that's fine. But it's my dream to make a film that is true and right and dramatic.

I need to say something. It's no big secret your mom and I are in hell right now, and... Bottom line is, marriage is hard. Its really **** hard. Just two people slogging through the shit, year after year, getting older, changing. Its a **** marathon, okay? So, sometimes, you know, you're together so long, that you just... You stop seeing the other person. You just see weird projections of your own junk. Instead of talking to each other, you go off the rails and act grubby and make stupid choices, which is what I did. And I feel sick about it because I love you guys, and I love your mom, and that's the truth. Sometimes you hurt the ones you love the most. I don't know why. You know, if I read more Russian novels, then... I just wanted to say how sorry I am for what I did. I hope you'll forgive me eventually. Thank you.
