CAESAR: Tell me about your reaping.

MADGE: Oh... gosh. I never expected to be reaped. In district 12, the tessera program is so heavily used that my odds of getting reaped were less than 10, 000 to 1. I would go to reapings, just like everyone else and think to myself "oh how lucky I am that I will not be chosen as tribute." not because it isn't an honor, but that the odds, unlike in the reaping, are not in anyone's favour. (23 to 1) if I was unlucky in the reaping with the bad odds so small, with the bad odds stacked so high against me- i am terrified.

CAESAR: Look on the bright side! Look at that 1 future in which you do live in glory, wealth and fame!

MADGE: thats just it. I'm alread rich (being the mayor's daughter) For that fact alone, I'm famous in D12 already and I don't want the glory of killing another human being.

CAESAR: Well, don't be a Debbie downer, look at the future where you SURVIVE!

MADGE: To be honest, thats the only thing keeping me from just stepping off my plate at the cournacopia.
