Lumber rebel : Give me one reason I shouldn't shoot you.
Boggs : Drop the gun!
Katniss Everdeen : I can't. I guess that's the problem, isn't it? We blew up your mine. You burned my district to the ground. We each have every reason to want to kill each other. So if you wanna kill me, do it. Make Snow happy. I'm tired of killing his slaves for him.
Lumber rebel : I'm not his slave.
Katniss Everdeen : I am. That's why I killed Cato. And he killed Thresh. And Thresh killed Clove. It just goes around and around. And who wins? Always Snow. I am done being a piece in his game. District 12, District 2. We have no fight. Except the one the Capitol gave us. Why are you fighting the rebels? You're neighbors. You're family.

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.

Boggs : Squad 451, you're my unit. Lieutenant Jackson is my second-in-command. Each one of you is elite in some form of combat. But we are a non-combat unit. So we'll be following days behind the front-line troops.
Cressida : You're to be the on-screen faces of the invasion. The Star Squad. It's been decided that you're most effective when seen by the masses.
Gale Hawthorne : So we're not gonna fight?
Boggs : You'll do whatever you're ordered to do, soldier. It's not your job to ask questions.
-
Boggs : Our instructions are to shoot propaganda footage on the battle-scarred streets of the Capitol. You were handpicked to intimidate their forces.
Cressida : And inspire surrenders.
Boggs : Even though we'll be working on abandoned streets miles behind the front lines, I guarantee you, wherever they put us, it will not be safe. This is a war zone. It is likely that we'll encounter both active pods and Peacekeepers. You're considered high-value targets to the Capitol. In the event of capture, you'll be given a nightlock pill. A poison that acts immediately. Lieutenant Jackson, do the honors.
[Jackson begins passing the pills out]
Boggs : I've already briefed you on the pods. I remind you, they are on every block. Our unit has been given a Holo. A database that contains a detailed map of the Capitol and a list of every know pod. These pods can trigger anything from bombs to traps to mutts. We cannot move without this device. There's no guarantee that our database is complete. There could be new pods that we're not aware of. Because we don't want the Gamemakers to know we have this intel, it has a self-destruct on it. You flip this switch, say "nightlock" three times, and it blows itself and anything within a ten-foot radius. Stay within our unit. Even with the Holo, it's likely that new pods have been set. Whatever they contain, they are meant to kill you.
