[She's looking down at the burn scars] Rebellion. Revolution. We overthrew the President and made - I think they call it a democracy. I didn't pay much attention once my part was done.
[She shakes her head, sharply] No, Thirteen had control of the weapons. The Capitol had their own. They worked out a deal between them that mutual annihilation wouldn't be great when there are barely enough people alive now to support the human race. Thirteen went underground, and the Capitol bombed them and used it as a warning to keep the other Districts in line. Don't rebel, or you'll end up like Thirteen. [Her jaw tightens] My District didn't have the advantage of an underground bunker.
