"We both do, if my plan works." Gale said, and continued when Haymitch asked him to and assured them that they wouldn't be overheard. "We'll be more stubborn than the Gamemakers. Once everyone else dies, we'll just survive in the arena. They'll have to end the Games eventually, and they need a victor, so they can't risk just killing us both if we stick together." He said, lowering his voice in case anyone else happened to be around.<br/>"And if that doesn't work? Suppose they change the arena, something like that?" Haymitch asked.<br/>"Then we both die. The Gamemakers aren't the only ones who can play these games, and I'd be willing to bet they'd go to great lengths to keep from ending up with no victor." Gale answered immediately, however he looked to Katniss to see if she'd agree to such drastic measures to avoid having to kill each other, not actually sure how she'd respond.
