The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 - Ending Scene
[Transcripts]: Katniss Everdeen to her baby:
Did you have a nightmare? I have nightmares, too. Someday I'll explain it to you. Why they came? Why they won't go away? But I'll tell you how I survive it. I make a list in my head for all the good things I've seen someone do. Every little thing I can remember. It's like a game. I do it over and over. Gets a little tedious after all these years, but.. There are much worse games to play.
