Caesar Flickerman quotes from The Hunger Games (2012)

Caesar Flickerman

What did you say to your sister when you volunteered at the Reaping?

Katniss Everdeen

I told her I would try to win. That I would try to win, for her.

Flickerman

Of course you did. And try you will.

Caesar Flickerman

So Peeta. Tell me. Is there a special girl back home?

Peeta Mellark

No. No, not really.

Flickerman

No? I don't believe it it for a second, look at that face! Handsome man like you! Peeta. Tell me.

Peeta

Well, there, uh... There is this one girl that I've had a crush on forever.

Flickerman

Well, I'll tell you what Peeta. You go out there, and you win this thing, and when you get home- she'll have to go out with you!

Peeta

Thanks, but I, uh. I don't think winning's gonna help me at all.

Flickerman

And why not?

Peeta

Because... she came here with me.

Flickerman

Well, that's bad luck.

Peeta

Yeah....

Flickerman

And I wish you all the best of luck. Peeta Mellark! District 12!

Caesar Flickerman

That was really something. Katniss, that was something. That was something. Thank you for that. I have one more question for you. It's about your sister. We were all very moved, I think, when you volunteered at the Reaping. Did she come and say goodbye to you?

Katniss Everdeen

Yes. She did.

Flickerman

And what did you say to her, in the end?

Katniss Everdeen

I told her I would try to win. That I would try to win, for her.

Flickerman

Of course you did. And try you will. Ladies and gentlemen, from District 12, Katniss Everdeen, The Girl On Fire!
