So, Peeta, tell me, is there a special girl back home?

No. No, not really.

No? I don't believe it for a second. Look at that face. Handsome man like you. Peeta.... tell me.

Well, there, uh.... there is this one girl that I've had a crush on forever.

Ah.

But I don't think she actually recognized me until the Reaping.

Well, I'll tell you what, Peeta. You go out there, and you win this thing, and when you get home, she'll have to go out with you. Right, folks?

Thanks, but I, uh, I don't think winning's gonna help me at all.

And why not?

Because she came here with me.
