Quotes

President Alma Coin : [spreads her arms] Welcome to the New Panem. Today, on the Avenue of the Tributes, all of Panem, a free Panem, will watch more than a mere spectacle. We are gathered to witness an historic moment of justice. Today, the greatest friend to the revolution will fire the shot to end all wars. May her arrow signify the end of tyranny and the beginning of a new era. Mockingjay, may your aim be as true as your heart is pure.

President Alma Coin : [message appears onscreen] Good evening. For those of you who don't know me, please allow me to introduce myself. I am President Alma Coin, leader of the Rebellion. I have interrupted a broadcast from your President in which he attempted to defame a brave young woman. "A face picked from the masses," he called her.
President Snow : Plucked.
President Alma Coin : As if a leader, a true leader, could be anything else. I had the privilege of knowing a small-town girl from the Seam in District 12 who survived the Hunger Games and the Quarter Quell and rose up and turned a nation of slaves into an army! Dead or alive, Katniss Everdeen will remain the face of this revolution. She will not have died for nothing.

[Katniss has just escaped for the Capitol]
President Alma Coin : What is she doing?
Plutarch Heavensbee : [nonchalant, shrugs slightly] I don't know. It's so frustrating when she goes rogue.
President Alma Coin : This isn't just adolescent, it's insubordination.
Plutarch Heavensbee : Put her on the first hovercraft back.
President Alma Coin : Don't be ridiculous. She can't come back now. She's mythic.

Katniss Everdeen : Snow has to pay for what he's done. I wanna help the rebels in any way I can.
President Alma Coin : It's hard to see Peeta this way.
Katniss Everdeen : That's not Peeta. Send me to the Capitol. I'll do anything.
President Alma Coin : I can't. I can't send you there. We can't get into the Capitol until we control District 2.
Katniss Everdeen : Then send me to 2. You want me to fire up our troops? Call out to the loyalists? You've seen what I can do.
President Alma Coin : Yes, I have.
-
President Alma Coin : If we don't take District 2, we won't get into the Capitol.
Gale Hawthorne : Would it be enough to disable the fortress instead of taking it?
Commander Lyme : What do you have in mind?
Gale Hawthorne : You think of it like a wolf den. You're not gonna fight your way in, so you've got two choices: you trap the wolf inside, or you flush 'em out. If we can't attack straight on, then couldn't we use our hovercraft to strike around it? We'll use the mountains. We'll hit weak spots in the peaks.
Beetee : We could design the bomb targets in sequence using seismic data.
Commander Lyme : Trigger avalanches.
Gale Hawthorne : Block all exits, cut off their supplies. You make it impossible for them to launch their hovercraft.
Commander Paylor : Bury them alive.
President Alma Coin : We'd forfeit any chance to control the weapons.
Beetee : Yes, but we'd face a weakened Capitol.
Boggs : There's civilians in there. They should be given a chance to surrender. Could use one of the supply tunnels for the evacuees.
Gale Hawthorne : It's a luxury we weren't given when they firebombed 12.
Katniss Everdeen : There's gotta be a better way.
President Alma Coin : I suggest we try the avalanche, but leave the train tunnel alone. Civilians can escape into the square, where our armies will be waiting for their surrender.
Commander Paylor : Well, we should have every available medic standing by.
Commander Lyme : And if they won't surrender?
President Alma Coin : Then we will need a compelling voice to persuade them.

Commander Lyme : President Coin, we're indebted to you for the reinforcements and the Mockingjay. But I'm not sure that anyone outside of 2 knows what we've been up against. This is the Nut. The Capitol's headquarters for all offensive operations. It's manned by both military and civilian personnel from District 2. As you can see, the fortress lies so far beneath the bedrock, it's untouchable. Yesterday, we attempted to take the northeastern gate. The enemy countered from higher up and we were forced to pull back. We took heavy losses.
Commander of D5 : Could we create a decoy? Send troops towards one gate, launch a staggered attack on another.
Commander Paylor : Whose troops do you propose as a decoy, Commander?
President Alma Coin : We have the Mockingjay. Don't underestimate her. We could use her to erode support. She may be able to sway some of the loyalists.
Commander Lyme : You've been underground a long time, Madam Coin. This isn't like the rest of Panem. Support for the Capitol runs deep here.
President Alma Coin : Then there is no sacrifice too great. We need to control the arsenal inside that fortress. Even with every district in this alliance, we are outgunned.
Commander Paylor : I won't commit my people to a ground assault just to pillage weapons.
President Alma Coin : Commander Paylor, your people have suffered more than just about anyone else at the hands of the Capitol.
Commander Paylor : Which is why I won't condone a mass suicide.
