## [ Drunken Singing In German ]
I'm sure this will be better than those rags, Lisiek.
Herr Direktor, I was just helping Lisiek to find something...
to clean the stains from the Herr Kommandant's bathtub.
Go, please. Pardon me, Herr Direktor.
{ Chuckles ] You don't have to report to me, Helen.
You know who I am ? Hmm ?
[ Whispering ] I'm Schindler.
Of course. I-I have heard and...
you have been here before.
Here, why don't you keep this someplace ?
Go on, take it. I get extra food here.
Well, if you don't want to eat it, trade it. Or give it to Lisiek.
Why not build yourself up ?
My first day here, he beat me...
because I threw out the bones from dinner.
He came down to the basement at midnight, and he--
he asked me where they were.
For his dogs, you understand.
I said to him, I-- I don't know how I say this.
I never could say it now-- I said to him,
''Why are you beating me ?''
He said, ''The reason I beat you now...
is because you ask why I beat you.''
I know your sufferings, Helen.
It doesn't matter.
I have accepted them.
Accepted them ?
One day he will shoot me.
No, no, no, no, he won't shoot you.
I know. I see things.
We were on the roof on Monday, young Lisiek and I,
and we saw the Herr Kommandant come out of the front door...
and down the steps by the patio right there below us and--
and there on the steps he drew his gun and he...
shot a woman who was passing by.
A woman carrying a bundle. Through the throat.
Just-- Just a woman on her way somewhere, you know.
She was no fatter or thinner...
or slower or faster than anyone else,
and I couldn't guess what had she done.
The more you see of the Herr Kommandant,
the more you see there is no set rules that you can live by.
You can't say to yourself, ''If I follow these rules, I will be safe.''
He won't shoot you because he enjoys you too much.
He enjoys you so much he won't even let you wear the star.
He doesn't want anyone else to know...
it's a Jew he's enjoying.
He shot the woman from the steps...
because she meant nothing to him.
She was one of a series,
neither offending or pleasing him.
But you, Helen.
It's all right. It's not that kind of a kiss.
[ Sobbing ] Thank you.
Shh.
Here.
Right. The wine.
Wonderful party, Amon. Thank you.
[ Groans ]
Why do you drink that motor oil ?
Hmm ? I send you good stuff all the time.
Your liver's going to explode like a hand grenade.
The more I look at you-- [ Sniffs ]
I watch you.
[ Sighs ] You're never drunk.
{ Sniffs ] Oh, that's--
that's real control.
Control is power.
That's power.
{ Schindler ] Is that why they fear us ?
We have the fucking power to kill, that's why they fear us.
They fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily.
A man commits a crime, he should know better.
We have him killed, and feel good about it.
Or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better.
That's not power, though.
That's justice. It's different than power.
Power is when we have every justification to kill...
and we don't.
You think that's power ?
That's what the emperors had. A man stole something,
he's brought in before the emperor,
he throws himself down on the ground, he begs for mercy.
He knows he's going to die.
And the emperor... pardons him.
This worthless man. He lets him go.
I think you are drunk.
That's power, Amon.
That... is power.
Amon the Good.
I pardon you. [ Laughs ]
{ Goeth ] What do they want ?
{ Stern ] I don't know, but they're in my office now reviewing our books.
As my accountant, tell me, should I be alarmed...
that the auditors are reviewing my books ? Well--
Or have you done your job properly ? You needn't be alarmed.
I needn't be alarmed.
[ Shouts In German ]
[ Gasps ] I'm sorry, sir.
Do you know how much this saddle is worth ?
Do you know how much it costs ?
All right. [ Panting ]
All right.
Stern, what the hell are you doing following me around ?

{ Footsteps ]
I have to report, sir,
I've been unable to remove the stains from your bathtub.
What are you using, Lisiek ? Soap, Commandant.
Soap ? Not lye ?
Go ahead, go on, leave. Leave, I pardon you.
{ Birds Chirping ]
I pardon you.
{ Gunshot ]
[ Inhales ]
[ Sighs ]
{ Woman ] Although I am not a rabbi, in these circumstances...
I pray to the Almighty that you will forgive me...
if I intone the blessings.

So...
this is where you come to hide from me.
I came to tell you...
that you, um, you really are a wonderful cook...
and a well-trained servant.
I mean it. If you need a reference after the war,
I'd be-- I'd be happy to give you one.
It must get lonely down here...
when you're listening to everyone upstairs having such a good time.
Does it ?
You can answer.
But what's the right answer ? That's what you're thinking.
What does he want to hear ?
The truth, Helen, is always the right answer.
Y-Yes, you're right.
Sometimes we're both lonely.
Yes. I--
{ Sighing ] I mean--
I would like so much to...
reach out and touch you in your loneliness.
Wh-What would that be like, I wonder ? I mean...
[ Chuckles ] what would be wrong with that ?
I realize that you're not a-a person in the--
the strictest sense of the word, but--
[ Sighing ] No, maybe you're right about that too, you know.
Maybe what's-- what's wrong isn't--
It's not us.
It's no-- It's this.
I mean, when they compare you to--
to, uh, vermin and to rodents and to lice...
[ Panting ] I just, uh--
N-No, you-you make a good point.
You make a very good point.
Is this the face of a rat ?
Are these the eyes of a rat ?

Thank you very much. Tell them thank you from me.

The trains arrived and the people were driven out with clubs.
They were lined up in front of two big warehouses.
One was marked ''Cloak Room,'' and the other ''Valuables.''
And there they were made to undress.
AJewish boy handed them pieces of string to tie their shoes together.
They shaved their hair.
They told them it was needed to make something special for U-boat crews.
And then they were herded down a big corridor...
to bunkers with Stars of David on the doors,
and signs that said ''Bath and Inhalation Room.''
SS gave them soap.
They told them to breathe all the time because it's good for disinfecting.
And then they gassed them.
Mila, why soaps ?
So that they would agree to go in, I think.
Come on, Mila, stop it. Your bedtime stories are scaring everyone.
I just don't believe it. Ja. You know it's ridiculous.
I don't believe it either. I cannot believe it.
I didn't say I believed it. I said I heard it.
From who ? From somebody who heard it from someone who was there.
You know, if they were there,
they would have been gassed.
Yes. It doesn't make any sense.
We're their work force.
What sense does it make to kill your own work force ?
To go to all this trouble of assembling a work force only to--
No, it can't be true.
We are very, very important for them.
Ja, we do now. Good night.
Good night. Sweet dreams.

You should be aware of that. We will have to risk regret.
All right, sure. It's a nice day. I'll go for a drive with you.
What about you ?
I violated the ''Race and Resettlement Act.''
Though I doubt anyone can point out the actual provision to me.
I kissed a Jewish girl.
[ Laughing ]
Did your prick fall off?
[ Laughing ]
{ Man Laughing ]
{ Goeth ] He likes women.
He likes good-looking women.
He sees a beautiful woman, he doesn't think.
[ Laughing ] I mean,
he has so many women.
And they love him.
Ja, they love him. I mean, he is married, ja, but he's--
All right, it's not-- She was Jewish. He shouldn't have done it.
But, you didn't see this girl.
I saw this girl. This girl was, woof--
She was very good-looking.
They cast a spell on you, you know, theJews.
When you work closely with them, like I do, you see this.
They have this power. It's like a virus. Some of my men are infected with this virus.
They should be pitied, not punished. They should receive treatment.
This is as real as typhus. I see this all the time.
It's a matter of money ? Hmm ?
You're offering me a bribe ?
A bribe ? No. No, please. It's a gratuity.
Heil Hitler.!
Hello, Amon.
Sit down.
We give you Jewish girls at five marks a day, Oskar.
You should kiss us, not them.
God forbid you ever get a real taste forJewish skirt.
There's no future in it. They don't have a future.
That's not just good, old-fashioned,Jew-hating talk.

{ Goeth ] Can you believe this ?
As if I don't have enough to do, they come up with this ?
I have to find every rag buried up here and burn it.
The party's over, Oskar. They're closing us down, sending everybody to Auschwitz.
When ? I don't know. As soon as I can arrange the shipments.
Maybe 30, 40 days. That ought to be fun.
####{ Choir Continues ]
{ Schindler ] I've been talking to Goeth. I know the destination.
These are the evacuation orders.
I'm to help organize the shipments, put myself on the last train.
That's not what I was going to say.
I made Goeth promise me he'd put in a good word for you.
Nothing bad is going to happen to you there. You'll receive special treatment.
The directives coming in from Berlin mention ''Special Treatment'' more and more often.
I'd like to think that's not what you mean. Preferential treatment.
- Do we have to invent a whole new language ? - I think so.
You're staying, I take it.
In Krakow ? What on earth for ? What for? You have a business to run.
Of course, you'll have to hire new workers. Poles, I guess.
They cost a little more, but--
What are you going to do ?
You run my business.
No, I'm going home.
I've done what I came here for. I've got more money than any man could spend in a lifetime.
Someday, this is all going to end, you know.
I was going to say we'll have a drink then.

It's good business in your opinion.
You've got to move them, the equipment, everything to Czechoslovakia.
Pay for all that and build another camp. Doesn't make any sense.

we could get more than 4,000 out, mine and yours. Oskar--
We could relocate them in something like safety, in Moravia.

You just told him how many people you needed and--
You're not buying them.
You're buying them ? You're paying him for each of these names ?

It's costing me a fortune.

Look.
The list is an absolute good.
The list... is life.
All around its margins lies the gulf.
Oskar, there's a clerical error here at the bottom of the last page.
No, there's one more name I want to put there.
I'll never fid a maid as well trained as her at Brinnlitz. They are all country girls.
No.
One hand of 21 . No.
If you win, I pay you 7,400 Reichsmark. No.
Hit a natural, I make it 1 4,800. No.
If I win, the girl goes on my list.
I can't wager Helen in a card game. Why not ?
Wouldn't be right. She's just going to Auschwitz on Number Two anyway.
What difference does it make ? She's not going to Auschwitz.
I'd never do that to her. No, I want her to come back to Vienna with me.
I want her to come to work for me there.
I want to grow old with her. Are you mad ?
Amon, you can't take her to Vienna with you. No, of course I can't.
That's what I'd like to do.
What I can do, if I'm any sort of a man, is the next most merciful thing.
I should take her into the woods and shoot her painlessly in the back of the head.
What was it you said for a natural 21 ?
Was it 1 4,800 ?
