How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Hunger Games.
Quote #1
KATNISS: Take care of them, Gale. Whatever you do, don't let them starve!
Gale's friendship is taken as a given in the film, which is why Katniss instantly turns to him when she volunteers. Considering their intimate discussion a few hours earlier, we're pretty sure she can count on him.
Quote #2
CINNA: That was one of the bravest things I've ever seen. With your sister? My name's Cinna.
KATNISS: Katniss.
CINNA: I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I'm here to help you in any way that I can.
It's interesting: this is really the first time anyone in the Capitol expresses concern for Katniss's fate, instead of just trying to help her make the best of it. You could do worse in this world than to have a butt-kicking fashion designer on your side.
Quote #3
CINNA: Yeah, but I don't want to do that. I want to do something that they're going remember. Did they explain about trying to get sponsors?
KATNISS: Yeah, but I'm not very good at making friends.
CINNA: We'll see. I just think that somebody that brave shouldn't be dressed up in some stupid costume, now should they?
KATNISS: I hope not.
Making friends here is more than just a way to keep your sister safe while you battle to the death. It could help you in that battle to the death, which means Katniss needs to learn how to make friends.
