Scene 3: Fuck The Hive
Gale and Katniss have finished hunting and are sitting by the brook. Gale chews on a piece of long grass and Katniss lies back, her hair pooling around her. The wood is quiet and Gale takes the opportunity to have a serious conversation with Katniss before it is too late.
Gale: We could leave it all behind.
Katniss comes up on one elbow, curious.
Katniss: What are you talking about?
Gale: *Gesturing towards District 12* There, Katnip. We could run away and start over here in the woods!
Katniss: You're out of your mind. Did you inhale some Nightlock Berry fumes?
Gale: Don't be stupid. With your hunting skill and my brains we could survive forever out here!
*Katniss thinks about this and remembers her family. She can't leave them. Her mother is a chain smoking mooch and her sister is too naive to be able to care for herself.*
Katniss: My family, your family. It won't work. We will never be able to escape the Capitol! Just because we can hunt doesn't mean we can survive! You would die within the week.
Gale: *taken aback* Oh Really?!
Katniss: You would be the one trying to escape a Capitol hovercraft after we were found out. Just like those fools did awhile back.
Katniss and Gale have a flashback at the same time.
Gale: Oh. Yes, I remember. That girl and boy we saw one day while hunting. *Thoughtfully* They didn't make it, so we shan't either.
Katniss: Yes. The red head and her lover. They shot him and kidnapped her. I haven't thought of them until your mouth started spewing bilge.
Gale: It was a dumb idea I suppose. What do I know anyway right?
Katniss: *face softens* Don't get angry Gale. We wouldn't live out here. No one survives outside the system. *Reaches for Gale's hand* We live in a hive. We live and die for President Snow. Everyone is disposable.
Gale: *Pushing Katniss' hand away* I won't have it that way. FUCK THE HIVE!
They both get up, putting their shoes on their feet. Without another word they gather their things and head home. Gale miffed at the idea of living for someone else, angrily walks ahead. Blackout.
