Script
The Hunger Games Unabridged
By Owen Parsons
INT. TV COMMERCIAL - DAY
Clips from the Hunger Games movie play as NARRATOR speaks.
NARRATOR
You read the novels, you saw the
movie, but you haven't truly
experienced The Hunger Games until
now...
Copies of HUNGER GAMES: UNABRIDGED are shown on display.
NARRATOR
...with the release of The Hunger
Games: Unabridged. For the first
time, read Suzanne Collins' bold
dystopian vision, with over 200 new
pages cut from the original
release, including every reference
to shitting in the woods.
INT. BOOKSTORE LIVE READING AREA
SUZANNE COLLINS reads to an audience. Subtitle: "SUZANNE
COLLINS, Author of The Hunger Games"
SUZANNE
"How long have I been out here?"
Katniss wondered. It felt like only
hours since the bloodbath at the
Cornucopia, but judging from the
sizable dump she was taking behind
this old elm tree, it must have
been at least half a day. She
grabbed another handful of
leaves... and thought of Peeta.
Audience listens intently. Some nod, and murmur "Peeta."
NARRATOR
Finally, the complete saga unfolds.
INT. KIDS ROOM
A MOTHER reads passages from the Hunger Games to her
daughter.
MOTHER
Katniss hungrily eyed the Careers'
supplies. They stacked them by the
lake, all of them prized gifts:
Food, drinking water, toilet paper,
hand sanitizer, spades for digging
small, discreet, eight-to-ten inch
holes in the woods... for shitting
in...
NARRATOR
Hunger Games Unabridged is also
available in audiobook...
INT. GYM
A woman on a treadmill listens to the audiobook.
AUDIOBOOK
"Don't be scared," Katniss told the
little girl from District 11. "I've
got food, and fire, and there's
enough light so when you shit you
can see what you're doing." The
little girl nodded. "I crapped
earlier in the dark and it got
everywhere." "Gross," Katniss
responded, "we should be allies."
INT. KITCHEN
A man listens to the audiobook while preparing dinner.
AUDIOBOOK
Katniss could hear Cato's footsteps
on the other side of her tree.
Panicked, she crouched lower and
thought back to her training. Did
she have to bury this dump now or
was it cool to just cover it in
leaves? "Or maybe," she thought,
"if I leave it here, Cato will slip
in it and die."
NARRATOR
Delve deeper into the world of
Katniss Everdeen and the timeless
themes of her story.
INT. STUDY GROUP
A group of book club members sit on couches as book club
leader HOLLY reads from the book.
HOLLY
Katniss woke in the dead of night
to a rumbling in her belly, and a
terrible thought: "What if the
Capital sees me shitting, and they
take it as an insult?"
CLUB MEMBERS
(quietly gasping/crying)
Trapped... she's trapped / so
brave.
NARRATOR
And catch even more deleted scenes
in The Hunger Games: Special
Edition DVD.
FILM SCENE - KATNISS AND PEETA IN THE CAVE
Katniss wakes up with a start. Peeta is watching over her.
PEETA
Easy there, Kat.
KATNISS
How long was I out for?
PEETA
Almost three days. You shit
yourself like five times. I...
watched over you.
KATNISS
Oh Peeta... thank you.
Romantic music swells. She reaches up to caress Peeta's
face. Peeta flinches away from her hand.
PEETA
Whoa, whoa. Don't touch my face.
FILM SCENE - KATNISS IS ATTACKED BY CATO
Cato has Katniss cornered against a tree trunk. He holds a
sword to her throat.
CATO
End of the line, District 12.
His stomach gurgles.
CATO
Ugh, those damn berries. Sorry, can
we take a bathroom break? Just a
quick bathroom truce? Is that cool?
KATNISS
Sure.
CATO
Gah, thank you. I just need like,
five minutes. Oh god.
He runs off behind some bushes. We hear him dropping trou
and sighing with relief. Katniss takes an arrow out of her
quiver and fires it after him.
CATO
AGH, NO FAIR! QUIT IT!
