Another scene from Hunger Games: Catching Fire. This scene takes place after they give their speeches in 11. The cover photo is bad but I tried.

The Distraction Scene
Chapter 1
Haymitch guides Peeta and Katniss up into an abandoned attic in District 11 after they give their speeches.
Haymitch:
You two had a very simple task
Katniss:
I never meant for anyone to get killed, he has to know that
Haymitch:
What are you talking about? Who has to know what?
Katniss:
( Starting to cry)
Snow, he came to see me, he’s worried about the rebellion in the districts, and said they don’t believe our love story
Peeta:
( Angrily)
You know Katniss, you should’ve told me that before I tried to give these people their money
Katniss:
( Turning and speaking to Peeta)
I’m sorry I didn’t know what to do
Haymitch:
Katniss what were you thinking?
Katniss:
( Through cries)
Please, please just help me get through this trip, please just help me get through this trip
Haymitch:
( Haymitch starts snapping in Katniss’s face)
This trip girl, wake up, this trip doesn’t end when you get back home, you never get off this train, you two are mentors now, from now on your job is to be a distraction, so people forget what the real problems are
