Jeremy, it ain't gonna be worse than what we went through, tha's what I can guarantee you. Panem was a bad place, we can't deny that, and with everything goin' to hell.

[Just like Jeremy allowed himself to be vulnerable to Ellis, El can return the favor.]

I dunno if I'll be able t' move on completely from losin' my man Nick. I had t'put him down before he bit me, didn't see 'im after the last arena. I don't know if my own group o'survivors are back there in New Orleans, or if they're stuck somewhere.

[He raised his glass to clink it with Jeremy's] But we're here, an' we'd be doin' them all a disservice not enjoyin' what we got. We ain't gotta be happy all the time but we can let other people in.
