Movie quotes

  • (..) Those things are very lethal. Very. For those of you who don't know. Trackerjackers are genetically engineered wasps. Whose venom causes serious pain. Powerful hallucinations and in extreme cases, death. Run! Run! Run! Damn it. Go! Katniss, no! What're you doing? Go! Hallow isn't lethal. But the venom of a trackerjacker sting... ...is enough to doze off hallucinations. Please do something. Katniss, go! (..)
