Quotes
-
Commander Paylor : If we die, let it be for a cause and not a spectacle. If we succeed, let it be for all of Panem, and let it be forever.
-
President Alma Coin : If we don't take District 2, we won't get into the Capitol.
Gale Hawthorne : Would it be enough to disable the fortress instead of taking it?
Commander Lyme : What do you have in mind?
Gale Hawthorne : You think of it like a wolf den. You're not gonna fight your way in, so you've got two choices: you trap the wolf inside, or you flush 'em out. If we can't attack straight on, then couldn't we use our hovercraft to strike around it? We'll use the mountains. We'll hit weak spots in the peaks.
Beetee : We could design the bomb targets in sequence using seismic data.
Commander Lyme : Trigger avalanches.
Gale Hawthorne : Block all exits, cut off their supplies. You make it impossible for them to launch their hovercraft.
Commander Paylor : Bury them alive.
President Alma Coin : We'd forfeit any chance to control the weapons.
Beetee : Yes, but we'd face a weakened Capitol.
Boggs : There's civilians in there. They should be given a chance to surrender. Could use one of the supply tunnels for the evacuees.
Gale Hawthorne : It's a luxury we weren't given when they firebombed 12.
Katniss Everdeen : There's gotta be a better way.
President Alma Coin : I suggest we try the avalanche, but leave the train tunnel alone. Civilians can escape into the square, where our armies will be waiting for their surrender.
Commander Paylor : Well, we should have every available medic standing by.
Commander Lyme : And if they won't surrender?
President Alma Coin : Then we will need a compelling voice to persuade them.

Commander Lyme : President Coin, we're indebted to you for the reinforcements and the Mockingjay. But I'm not sure that anyone outside of 2 knows what we've been up against. This is the Nut. The Capitol's headquarters for all offensive operations. It's manned by both military and civilian personnel from District 2. As you can see, the fortress lies so far beneath the bedrock, it's untouchable. Yesterday, we attempted to take the northeastern gate. The enemy countered from higher up and we were forced to pull back. We took heavy losses.
Commander of D5 : Could we create a decoy? Send troops towards one gate, launch a staggered attack on another.
Commander Paylor : Whose troops do you propose as a decoy, Commander?
President Alma Coin : We have the Mockingjay. Don't underestimate her. We could use her to erode support. She may be able to sway some of the loyalists.
Commander Lyme : You've been underground a long time, Madam Coin. This isn't like the rest of Panem. Support for the Capitol runs deep here.
President Alma Coin : Then there is no sacrifice too great. We need to control the arsenal inside that fortress. Even with every district in this alliance, we are outgunned.
Commander Paylor : I won't commit my people to a ground assault just to pillage weapons.
President Alma Coin : Commander Paylor, your people have suffered more than just about anyone else at the hands of the Capitol.
Commander Paylor : Which is why I won't condone a mass suicide.
