[The scene opens up to Katniss and Rue, snuggled up together in a fork in a tree. They're both in Katniss' sleeping bag, and Katniss is examining a pair of sunglasses she just tested out to find out their nightvision glasses.]
I wonder who else has a pair of these?
The Careers have two pairs. But they've got everything down by the lake. And they're so strong.
We're strong too. Just in a different way.
You are strong. You can shoot. What can I do?
You can feed yourself. Can they?
They don't need to. They have all those supplies.
Say they didn't. Say the supplies were gone. How long would they last? I mean, it's the Hunger Games right?
But, Katniss, they're not hungry.
No, they're not. That's the problem.
..... I think we're going to have to fix that, Rue.
[Soon the anthem is playing high in the sky. No faces are shown tonight. And by the time the anthem finishes, Rue turns to snuggle up tight to Katniss. Who just.... holds her. For once they both seem safe and relaxed. Just comfortable. And it isn't long until Rue falls asleep in Katniss' arms.]
