- Older Coriolanus Snow: [voice-over] It's the things we love most, that destroy us.
- Lucy Gray Baird: [Inspecting a plant] Some people call these Swamp Potatoes, but I like Katniss better, it's got a nice ring to it.
- Dr. Volumnia Gaul: What happened in there? That's humanity undressed. Filled with the terror of becoming prey. See how quickly we become predator? See how quickly civilization disappears?
- Coriolanus Snow: Those tributes don't have a choice.
- Dr. Volumnia Gaul: I was talking about you. Oh your fine manners, education, background, stripped away in the blink of an eye. Leaving a boy with a club who beats another boy to death to stay alive.
- Dean Casca Highbottom: You hear that boy? It's the sound of snow falling.
- Coriolanus Snow: Snow always lands on top.
- Coriolanus Snow: You get the pick of the litter.
- Sejanus Plinth: You forget, I'm part of that litter.
- Mayfair Lipp: That's me. All talk, no action. Right, Lucy Gray? How'd you enjoy the Capitol, by the way?
- Coriolanus Snow: You know what I won't miss? People.
- Lucy Gray Baird: People aren't so bad. It's what the world does to them. Like what they do in the arena. I think there is a natural goodness born into us all. No, really. You can either cross that line into evil, or not. And it's our life's work to stay on the right side of that line.
- Coriolanus Snow: It's not always that simple.
- Lucy Gray Baird: I know.
- Lucy Gray Baird: I'm a victor. It sure would be nice not to kill anyone else up north, don't you think?
- Coriolanus Snow: Three's enough for me. I'm gonna make a walking stick. You want one?
- Lucy Gray Baird: [suspicious] You killed three. Who's the third?
- Coriolanus Snow: What?
- Lucy Gray Baird: The person you killed, Coriolanus. Who's the third? I only know about two, do not lie to me. There was Bobbin in the arena and Mayfair. Who's the third?
- Coriolanus Snow: My old self. I killed him so I could come with you.
- Coriolanus Snow: I used to think that The Hunger Games were punishments for the districts. Then I thought they served as a warning to us here in the Capitol, about the threat the districts posed. Now I know the whole world is an arena. And we need The Hunger Games every year. To remind us all who we truly are.
- Dr. Volumnia Gaul: And who are you, do you determine?
- Coriolanus Snow: The victor.
- Dr. Volumnia Gaul: [smiles] Welcome home, Coriolanus.
- Dean Casca Highbottom: I tried morphling, the night that first child fell. I hoped the games might die out. I tried to stop them however I could. But then you came along, and now the blood of so many more generations will be on my hands, because you've shown us the price people are willing to pay for a good show.
