Haymitch explains the evaluation process, and leaves them with a very important tip: "make sure they remember you."
Katniss is called, and with a brief word of encouragement from Peeta, she enters the cold room and lays her hands on her prized bow and arrows.
The judges are distracted by their partying, and are unimpressed when Katniss fires her first arrow and misses the bull's-eye by a long shot.
Not discouraged one bit, she grabs another arrow and lands a perfect bull's-eye. Nobody notices. They're too busy drinking.
She grabs one more arrow and fires directly into the party through an apple in a roasted pig's mouth.
She takes a bow, snarls "thank you for your consideration," and departs.
It's what you might call a walk-off home run.
Effie pitches a fit because Katniss was so cheeky. But she's missing the point. Haymitch arrives and congratulates her for the performance she gave to the judges.
The media plays the results of the judge's scores.
Peeta does well, but Katniss scores 11—the highest of all the Tributes: the girl really is on fire.
