“Here’s some advice. Stay alive.” -Haymitch Abernathy
With an advice like that, I, for one was fascinated, and along with that, burst into laughter. Haymitch is one of those characters who, when introduced seem to get in everyone’s way, are impotent and never capable of anything but messing up. But there was some aura around Haymitch, that he DID indeed win the Second Quarter Quell. This aura makes one think that sure he can be drunk or mess up, but that dude had SOMETHING in him, that made him win such a competition once. Guess what? He did, after all.
