Scene One

(Camera faces sky and sounds of birds are heard. Chattering of people are heard. The camera shows District 12’s train station. A line of peacekeepers are waiting for the train to arrive. Prim and Mrs. Everdeen are seen. So is Gale. A train is seen from far away coming into the station. Camera now faces in the train, showing Katniss and Peeta. Haymitch is seen lying on the couch surrounded by liquor bottles.)

Peeta: (holding Katniss’ hands) Who’s the one you most want to see now?

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Katniss: (Looking out window) I don’t know. (pause) I’m just happy to be home.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(The train stops and a crowd of reporters surround the train. A reporter comes out with a camera. He motions for a picture and Peeta and Katniss kiss. There is a big flash and the words Catching Fire come out onto a black screen written in fire with a mockingjay pin)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(The scene changes into Katniss with a bow and arrow. The camera changes into Katniss point of view. She aims the bow at a beaver. The beaver is shot in the chest and Katniss takes it with a bunch of other game. She then walks toward the electric fence. Katniss starts narrating.)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Katniss: My name is Katniss Everdeen. (picks up bow and puts it in tree stump) I live in Panem, North America. North America has split into 12 Districts. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> (A map of Panem appears highlighting the Districts and the Capitol) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Each District is in charge of making a product. This is District 12 where Coal is made. (For each District that Katniss explains there is a short animation) We, citizens of the 12 Districts of Panem have suffered from the Capitol for more than 75 years. Every year after our rebellion they have made us play the games. The games of death and torture. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Katniss: The Hunger Games. The games where 24 people from each District fight to the death and win. It’s the most horrible thing. And I know it, because I was one of the victors. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(flashback to Rue’s death, Clove, Cato, mutts, and finally Peeta. Reaches fence and climbs. Travels around the Hob and shows the bad condition of all the houses. Reaches Gales house.) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">

Everything is a mess. Haymitch is lying on the couch with a beer bottle still clutched in his hand. Katniss sighs, takes the bottle and splashes it on his face. Haymitch slowly wakes up.)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Haymitch: ( <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">wakes up <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">) Brrrrr!

You have to stop drinking!

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Haymitch: I’m trying sweetheart but-

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(Peeta enters room with loaf of bread)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Peeta: But what? Too tired to show a little dignity? Mr. 50th Hunger Games victor. ( <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">cuts a piece of bread. Chucks at Haymitch. Haymitch dodges it and picks the bread off from the floor. Haymitch licks it.)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Haymitch: Mmmmm...tasty. Other than the very rude wake up, I’m glad you two are here. You have a lot of warming up to do. The Capitol will be expecting you to perform like you did in the arena in the Victory Tour.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Katniss: Meaning kissing and hugging again?

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Haymitch: Something like that.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(Katniss is about to walk out the door when Peeta stops her.)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Peeta: Would you like a piece of bread?

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Katniss: <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(stares at bread) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> Um..no. I don’t like blueberry.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(Walks out of door. Haymitch burps out “ REJECTION” and a loud throwing knife sound is heard. Katniss walks toward her house. She opens the door and sees Mrs. Everdeen. )

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Katniss: Hi mom! (Mrs. Everdeen is looking very pale and a capitol man is standing right next to her.)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Mrs. Everdeen: How was your walk Katniss? <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(very nervous tone.)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Katniss: What? Oh, um... it was more like skating. It’s really getting slippery out there. ( <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">knows that there is something wrong.)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Mrs. Everdeen: Someone is here to see you.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Katniss: Is it Cinna? Did he come to help me on my talent?

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Capitol Man: He is expecting you Miss Everdeen. This way, please.

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(Capitol Man points toward office room.)

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(Katniss opens door. A man sitting in a chair is turned around in a large swivel chair. The man’s body and face cannot be seen. A rose is on the desk along with a book that has been bookmarked with reading glasses. Katniss wrinkles her nose at the sight of the rose. )

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Unknown Person <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">(talking on phone) <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">: Tell Plutarch to get things ready.

The swivel chair turns around and the face of President Snow is seen. Katniss and President Snow stare at each other for a few seconds.)
