37 MINS LATER
Paul RootHOST
I think I'm gonna stay.
Ben McFaddenHOST
You're gonna hold.
Paul RootHOST
A Farewell to Arms, that is still like my favorite visual gag of this f- movie, is that, like that's what he puts on the hand under the bucket.
Ben McFaddenHOST
Yeah.

JonathanHOST
I have read A Farewell to Arms, I've read Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin, and I have read Dracula by Bram Stoker.
JonathanHOST
Were there any in there-
Betsy Gaines QuammenGUEST
... [laughs] and I loved it." I mean, really, I sounded very ridiculous.
Betsy Gaines QuammenGUEST
And I'm saying, "Oh, The Sun Also Rises, Farewell to Arms, these are great.
Betsy Gaines QuammenGUEST
I love them, too." And then all of a sudden I became unbelievably nervous that he would somehow know that I found some of his work [laughs] very macho-
Tom WilliamsHOST
[laughs]
Rachel WagnerHOST
So what do you have at eight?
TerryHOST
At eight I have, uh, the 1932 version of A Farewell to Arms, which is also a pre-code, which is based on the, uh, Ernest Hemingway novel, and it stars Janet, uh, Gay- uh, Gaynor and f- uh, no, I'm sorry.
TerryHOST
Stars Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes.
TerryHOST
Pardon.
TerryHOST
And they have a reunion, and then spoiler alert, guys, she dies.
TerryHOST
Uh, I already technically spoiled that already.
TerryHOST
But, like, I just think out of the adaptations or the film adaptations that I have seen of this one, uh, I think this is probably the best version of A Farewell to Arms.
TerryHOST
I haven't seen all of them.
Terry TuckerGUEST
I, I, I love to read.
Terry TuckerGUEST
I s- I spend a great deal of my free time reading and, and I read a book called Farewell to Arms written by Ernest Hemingway, and I read it back when I was in high school.
Terry TuckerGUEST
But I picked it up, I, I don't know, about a year ago, and I've read it, and there, there's a line in it, and I think about this line every day, and the line goes like this, "Life breaks everyone."
April DeMilleHOST
everyone."Yeah
speaker_3NARRATOR
And why not? At age 45, Hemingway was already an award-winning novelist and journalist, and a worldwide celebrity.
speaker_3NARRATOR
His novels, like For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms, had been made into movies.
speaker_3NARRATOR
His hard-drinking flamboyant style and his adventurous life was already the stuff of legend.
speaker_3NARRATOR
These men no doubt felt lucky to be in his company.
MattHOST
somebody out there for everybody, but geez, that guy very upgraded.
LaurenHOST
So as it's still Ash versus evil hand back at the captain, he finally chainsaws it up and Ash yells, who's laughing now? Ash puts the whimpering arm or whimpering hand under a bucket with an earnest Hemingway book on top that's called A Farewell to Arms.
LaurenHOST
Clever.
LaurenHOST
That was cute.
5 MINS LATER
LaurenHOST
But then this one seemed intentionally campy.
ForrestGUEST
Oh, there's a Three Students vibe on a lot of this stuff.
ForrestGUEST
Like, that's why you get jokes like a call to arms or a farewell to arms.
ForrestGUEST
And you get the dance, you know, when she's dancing, the dead girlfriend's dancing.
Cynthia ChungGUEST
I'm, I'm, I'm kind of joking it was Google, but it is because Google chooses, you know, like what c- shows up first on your search engine.
Cynthia ChungGUEST
[laughs] But, um, they were all like painfully existentialist books and, you know, I'm a young person, so I read Albert Camus' The Stranger and Hemingway's, uh, A Farewell to Arms and, uh, The Tropic of Cancer.
Cynthia ChungGUEST
And all of these books were, first of all, written by really jaded men who I think had a, a few problems with misogynism, but it was just like so bleak, you know, their outlook in life, and I had to take a little bit of a, a break 'cause I was like, "Oof, if that's like the world, I, I don't think I can handle it." And so I had to kind of take, um, a long route, um, because even in school, you know, taking electives in the arts, even though I was in the sciences as my main thing, the arts were like my, the food for my soul, and I was always struggling to find something that would actually teach something in a way that I didn't feel like, uh, shit basically by the end of it.
Cynthia ChungGUEST
And, um, and so I eventually, um, was able to, to get, uh, in contact with a, a way to study Plato, and this is actually with, uh, Matt, who's now my husband.
