61 " Shame isn't a strong enough word for what I feel. "You could live a hundred lifetimes and not deserve him, you know," Haymitch says. "
― Suzanne Collins , Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)
62 " Want a sugar cube? [...] They're supposed to be for the horses, but who cares? They've got years to eat sugar, whereas you and I . . . well, if we see something sweet we better grab it quick. [...] You're absolutely terrifying me in that get-up. What happened to the pretty little-girl dresses? "
63 " I thought he wanted it, anyway," I say. "Not like this," Haymitch says. "He wanted it to be real. "
64 " I don't like self-righteous people," I say."What's to like?" says Haymitch, who begins sucking the dregs out of the empty bottles. "
65 " I know. I was hoping," I say."Exactly. Because you're desperate," says Haymitch.I don't argue because, of course, he's right. "
66 " I don't know what I expected from my first meeting with Peeta after the announcement. A few hugs and kisses. A little comfort maybe. Not this. I turn to Haymitch. "Don't worry, I'll get you more liquor. "
67 " So it's you and a syringe against the Capitol. "
68 " You're hideous, you know that, right? "
69 " it is a perfect weapon "
70 " A leather bag filled with food and a flask of hot tea. "
71 " Chins up smiles on - Effie Trinket "
72 " I feel that thing again. The thing I only felt once before. In the cave last year, when I was trying to get Haymitch to send us food. I kissed Peeta about a thousand times during those Games and after. But there was only one kiss that made me feel something stir deep inside. Only one that made me want more. Instead of satisfying me, the kisses have the opposite effect, of making my need greater. I thought I was something of an expert on hunger, but this is an entirely new kind. "
73 " Maybe I'd think that, too, Caesar," says Petta bitterly, "if it weren't for the baby."There. He's done it again. "
74 " By the way, I know about the kiss." Then the door clicks shut behind him. "
75 " Stay with me." As the tendrils of sleep syrup pull me down, I hear him whisper a word back, but I don't quite catch it. "
76 " You and me Haymitch.Very cozy.Picnics, birthdays, long winter nights sitting around the fire retelling old Hunger Games tale.-Peeta Mellark "
77 " I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble. "
78 " Me pilló completamente por sorpresa. Después de todo el tiempo que había pasado con Gale, de observar cómo hablaba, se reía, fruncía el ceño, cabría esperar que supiese todo lo que había que saber de sus labios. Sin embargo, no me había imaginado el calor que desprendían al unirse a los míos. Ni que aquellas manos, las manos que podían montar la más intrincada de las trampas también pudiera atraparme a mí con la misma facilidad. "
79 " So it's you and a syringe against the Capitol? See, this is why no one lets you make the plans. "
80 " Great. Now I have to go back and tell Haymitch I want an eighty-year-old and Nuts and Volts for my allies. He'll love that. "
