Schindler's List Page #5

Mr. Schindler asks.

He's highly skilled. Give him your

card. Moses, give him your card.

Now, dip the basin with

the tongs into the enamel solution.

And after swiveling it around,

carefully place it aside to drip dry.

And whatever he

asks you, allow me

just to represent

you and speak for you.

Don't say a word.

Filing, billing, keeping

track of my appointments, shorthand.

Typing, obviously.

How is your typing?

Uh, all right.

Please.

You need a secretary.

Pick one.

I don't know how.

They're all so qualified.

You have to choose.

Prosze sie ladnie

usmiechac. Big smile. Big smile.

Uwaga.

If you would,

look after my guest.

Boxed teas

are good. Coffee, pt,

kielbasa sausage,

cheeses, Beluga caviar.

Yes.

And, of course,

who could live

without German cigarettes?

Get me as many

as you can find.

And some more fresh fruit.

The real rarities,

oranges, lemons, pineapples.

l need several boxes

of Cuban cigars. The best.

Yes. And dark, unsweetened chocolate.

Not in the shape of

ladyfingers, the chunk chocolate.

Big as my hand,

you sample at wine tastings.

Yes.

We're going to need lots of

cognac. The best, Hennessy.

Dom Prignon champagne.

Get L'Espadon sardines,

and, oh, try to find

nylon stockings.

It is my distinct

pleasure to announce

the fully operational status

of Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik.

Patrz jakies szmaty!

Manufacturers of superior

enamelware crockery,

expressly designed

and crafted for military use.

Utilizing only

the most modern equipment,

D.E.F.'s staff of

highly skilled and

experienced

artisans and journeymen

unparalleled quality,

enabling me to proffer, with

absolute confidence and pride,

field and kitchenware

unsurpassable in all respects

by my competitors.

See attached list

and available colors.

Anticipating the enclosed bids

will meet with your approval

and looking forward to a long and

mutually prosperous association,

l extend to you in advance

my sincerest gratitude

and very best regards.

Oskar Schindler.

Yeah, I need 700 gross

from here for next Thursday.

Nine hundred,

no, make it 10 for Wednesday.

All this stuff here

goes to Madritsch's

factory on

Tuesday of next week.

My father was fond of

saying, "You need three things in life,

"a good doctor, a forgiving

priest, and a clever accountant."

The first two,

I've never had much use for.

But the third...

Just pretend,

for Christ's sake.

Is that all?

I'm trying to thank you.

I'm saying

I couldn't have

done this without you.

The usual thing would be

to acknowledge my gratitude.

It would also, by the way,

be the courteous thing.

You're welcome.

Get out of here.
