Dialogue Catherine Barkley: [she comes to tend a wounded Henry] Hello, darling! Lieutenant Frederic Henry: Catherine! [she kisses him] Lieutenant Frederic Henry: You're lovely. Catherine Barkley: Are you badly hurt? Lieutenant Frederic Henry: You're lovely. Catherine Barkley: [concerned] Oh my poor darling, it's your leg, isn't it? Lieutenant Frederic Henry: You're the loveliest thing I ever saw. Rinaldi: I will see you are decorated for bravery. Perhaps we can get you the medalgio d'argento. But certainly the bronze one. Did you carry somebody out of battle? Lieutenant Frederic Henry: I didn't carry anyone. I couldn't move. Rinaldi: Surely there was something heroic. Tell me what you did. Lieutenant Frederic Henry: I was blown up eating cheese. Lieutenant Frederic Henry: We've never been apart, really. Not since we met. Catherine Barkley: Not since we met. Lieutenant Frederic Henry: And never can be. Catherine Barkley: Never apart. Lieutenant Frederic Henry: In life and in death. Say it Cat. Catherine Barkley: In life and in death, we'll never be parted. Lieutenant Frederic Henry: You do believe that, don't you, Cat? Catherine Barkley: I believe it, and I'm not afraid.
