The Hunger Games Quote

Caesar Flickerman: I think someone's a little nervous. I said, that was quite an entrance you made at the Tribute's Parade the other day. You wanna tell us about it?
Katniss Everdeen: [hesitant]Well, I was just... hoping I wouldn't burn to death...
Caesar Flickerman: [as crowd laughter subsides]When you came out of that chariot, I have to say my heart stopped. [to crowd]
Caesar Flickerman: Did any of you experience it as well? [crowd enthusiastically agrees]
Caesar Flickerman: My heart stopped.
Katniss Everdeen: [self-consciously]So did mine.
Caesar Flickerman: [laughs along with crowd]Now tell me about the flames. Are they real?
Katniss Everdeen: [still self-conscious]Yes. [gets encouragement from Cinna in the crowd]
Katniss Everdeen: In fact, I'm wearing them today. Would you like to see?
Caesar Flickerman: Wait, wait, wait! Is it safe?
Katniss Everdeen: [laughs]Yes.
Caesar Flickerman: What do you think, folks? [crowd roars approval]
Caesar Flickerman: I think they mean yes! [she stands up, spins around, twirls the fire dress, a vivid display of flame, she wears sheer white stockings and white open-toed high heels]
Caesar Flickerman: Whoa! Steady, steady! Let me thank you, that was really something! Katniss, that was something, that was something, thank you for that!
