Quotes 

• [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.

• Effie Trinket : Manners!

• Effie Trinket : District 12's very first 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 : 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 : Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

• Effie Trinket : [brightly as she escorts Katniss and Peeta on the journey to their deaths]  You two are in for a treat

• 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.

• Effie Trinket : I just love that!

• Effie Trinket : I hope you noticed we have a serious situation!
