Weclome to English @ the movies where we teach you American English heard at the movies. Today's phrase is "Make It Count" from the movie "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II". This is the final huger game movies. The hero Katniss Everdeen is leading a revolt against President Snow. Here he speaks about her threatening her. Her friend Gale gives his support. Let's take a look. What for the phrase "make it count."

---I've been watching you, and you watching me. My deer Miss Everdeen, make no mistake, the game is coming to its end.

---We've got one shot.

---Let's make it count.

So what does that mean? "Make it count"

A). count our supporters

B).  make it work

Listen again and see if you are correct.

...

"Make it count" means "make it work. " They only have one shot, one chance to win. So when Gale says "let's make it count" , he is not talking about counting numbers. With only one chance to win, they have to get it right, make it work, to defeat the bad guys. An that is Engilsh @ Movies.

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.
