President Snow

Look at them. She's not who they think she is. She's not a leader. She just wants to save her skin. It's as simple as that.

I think that's true.

President Snow

But she has become a beacon of hope for the rebellion, and she has to be eliminated.

I agree she should die, but in the right way. At the right time. It's moves and counter-moves, that's all we've gotta look at. Katniss Everdeen is a symbol. Their Mockingjay. They think she's one of them. We need to show them that she's one of us. We don't have to destroy her, just the image. Then we let the people do the rest.

President Snow

What do you propose?

Shut down the black markets, take away what little they have, then double the amount of floggings and executions, put them on TV; broadcast them live. Sow fear- more fear.

President Snow

It won't work. Fear does not work as long as they have hope, and Katniss Everdeen is giving them hope.

She's engaged. Make everything about that. What kind of dress she's gonna wear? Floggings. What's the cake gonna look like? Executions. Who's gonna be there? Fear. Blanket coverage, shove it in their faces. Show them that she's one of us now. [laughs] They're gonna hate her so much they just might kill her for you.

President Snow

Brilliant.
