I have the Grandma’am.

Dr. Gaul poked at the muttation rabbit until the class had settled in, then greeted them with “Hippity, hoppity, how did you fare? Did they greet you like friends or just sit there and stare?”

She def did not say that in the movie lmao

“Oh, like you came to one of my shows and heard me sing,” she said. “And afterward you came up to chat, and maybe we had a drink and a dance or two.”

Coriolanus worked steadily until Friday morning dawned. As the first rays came through his window, he dressed in a clean uniform, tucked his proposal under his arm, and left the apartment as quietly as possible. Dr. Gaul

He just didnt sleep and is totally fine??

Tigris and the Grandma’am

The mentors piled into a few Academy vans and headed for the Capitol Arena, which had been built across the river to prevent crowds from swamping the downtown. In its day, the huge, state-of-the-art amphitheater had been the site of many an exciting sporting, entertainment, or military event. High-profile executions of the enemy were staged there during the war, making it a target for the rebel bombers. While the original structure stood, it was

Interesting that they changed it

endless supply of terrible jokes, were barely hanging on to life.

“But they’ve got a top-notch veterinarian over there.

They are not animals hello ???

“Well, you know what they say. The show’s not over until the mockingjay sings,” she said.

“The trouble with girls is, they’re not used to fighting the same way boys are,” said Hilarius.

Hilarious laughterus? What are you, biggus dickus?

Lucky Flickerman, fresh off his interview success, had been tapped to host, backed up by a handful of Capitol News reporters. Coriolanus got a thrill when he saw himself slotted in at 8:15 the following morning, until Lucky said, “We wanted to make sure to get you in early. You know, before your girl buys it.”

WHat does this mean???

You’ve been thick as thieves,”

Picture me thick aa thieves with ypur ex wife

“Oh, yes?” said Coriolanus, only to be polite. Honestly, who cared? His entire future was on the line because of her wayward son. And one had to question

wayward son by rainbow rowell mentioned?

Iphigenia Moss, whose father oversaw the Agriculture Department,

haha. haha.

“I do.” She took a deep breath. “What I’d like people to know about Jessup is that he was a good person. He threw his body over mine to protect me when the bombs started going off in the arena. It wasn’t even conscious. He did it reflexively. That’s who he was at heart. A protector. I don’t think he would’ve ever won the Games, because he’d have died trying to protect Lucy Gray.” “Oh, like a dog or something.” Lepidus nodded. “A really good one.” “No, not like a dog. Like a human being,” said Lysistrata.

Interesting how ingrained it is in his brain that capitol>district and that district = animal. He's been alive before the or much longer than the kids so he would know how it was like before, but i guess seeing the war at a much more mature age and much more involved only made him more prejudiced against the district, while the kids also lived through the war but at a much younger age and just remember the bad times can sympathize more with these kids from the districts and still recognize the humanity.

What awaited him farther down that slope if he was unable to stop his descent? What else might he be capable of? Well, that was it. It stopped now. If he didn’t have honor, he had nothing. No more deception. No more shady strategies.

He def feels less self aware in yhemovie

Coriolanus felt sure he’d spotted his first mockingjay, and he disliked the thing on sight.

It had all gone like a dream — seeing Lucy Gray, hearing her sing, her joy at the sight of him — until Billy Taupe had showed up and spoiled the reunion. It was just another reason to hate Billy Taupe, although seeing the Covey’s rejection of him was deeply satisfying. It confirmed that Lucy Gray belonged to him.

Yo?

“You know, Sejanus, I’m your friend. More than a friend. You’re the closest thing I’ll ever have to a brother. And there are special rules for family. If you need help . . . I mean, if you get into something you can’t handle . . . I’m here.”

Hmmmmm...
