Effie Trinket
- [Katniss suddenly stabs a knife into the table between Haymitch's thumb and forefinger]
- Effie Trinket: [gasps] That is mahogany!
- Katniss Everdeen: I volunteer! I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!
- Effie Trinket: [pause] Uh... I believe we have a volunteer.
- Haymitch Abernathy: [about Cato] He's a Career. You know what that is?
- Katniss Everdeen: From District 1.
- Haymitch Abernathy: And 2. They train in a special academy until they're eighteen, then they volunteer. By that point, they're pretty lethal.
- Effie Trinket: But they don't receive any special treatment. In fact, they stay in the exact same apartment as you do, and I don't think they let them have dessert, and you can.
- Effie Trinket: [brightly as she escorts Katniss and Peeta on the journey to their deaths] You two are in for a treat
- Effie Trinket: Two hundred miles per hour and you can barely feel a thing. I think it's one of the wonderful things about this opportunity, that even though you're here and even though it's just for a little while, you get to enjoy all of this.
- Effie Trinket: [angrily scolding Katniss] You realize that your actions reflect badly on all of us, not just you.
- Cinna: They just want a good show. It's fine.
- Effie Trinket: How about it's just bad manners, Cinna? How about THAT?
- Effie Trinket: What's your name?
- Katniss Everdeen: Katniss Everdeen.
- Effie Trinket: Well, I bet my hat that was your sister, wasn't it?
- Katniss Everdeen: Yes.
- Effie Trinket: Here we are - our tributes from District 12!
- Effie Trinket: [to Peeta and Katniss] Well, go on, you two. Shake hands.
- Effie Trinket: Welcome! Welcome, welcome. Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor. Now, before we begin, we have a very special film brought to you all the way from the Capitol.
