do very well. In fact the worse things
get the better you'll do. It was a
"pleasure."
SCHINDLER
The contracts? That's the easy part.
Finding the money to buy the company,
that's hard.
He laughs loudly, uproariously. But then, just as abruptly
as the laugh erupted, he's dead serious, all kidding aside --
SCHINDLER
You know anybody?
Stern stares at him curiously, sitting there taking another
sip of his cognac, placid as a large dog.
SCHINDLER
Jews, yeah. Investors.
STERN
(pause)
Jews can no longer own businesses,
sir, that's why this one's for sale.
SCHINDLER
Well, they wouldn't own it, I'd own
it. I'd pay them back in product.
They can trade it on the black market,
do whatever they want, everybody's
happy.
He shrugs; it sounds more than fair to him. But not to Stern.
STERN
Pots and pans.
SCHINDLER
(nodding)
Something they can hold in their
hands.
Stern studies him. This man is nothing more than a salesman
with a salesman's pitch; just dressed better than most.
STERN
I don't know anybody who'd be
interested in that.
SCHINDLER
(a slow knowing nod)
They should be.
Silence.
EXT. CRACOW - NIGHT
A mason trowels mortar onto a brick. As he taps it into a
place and scrapes off the excess cement, the image DRAINS OF
COLOR.
Under lights, a crew of brick-layers is erecting a ten-foot
wall where a street once ran unimpeded.
EXT. STREET - CRACOW - DAY
A young man emerges from an alley pocketing his Jewish
armband. He crosses a street past German soldiers and trucks
and climbs the steps of St. Mary's cathedral.
INT. ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL - DAY
A dark and cavernous place. A priest performing Mass to
scattered parishioners. Lots of empty pews.
The young Polish Jew from the street, Poldek Pfefferberg,
kneels, crosses himself, and slides in next to another young
man, Goldberg, going over notes scribbled on a little pad
inside a missal. Pfefferberg shows him a container of shoe
polish he takes from his pocket. Whispered, bored --
GOLDBERG
What's that?
PFEFFERBERG
You don't recognize it? Maybe that's
because it's not what I asked for.
GOLDBERG
You asked for shoe polish.
PFEFFERBERG
My buyers sold it to a guy who sold
it to the Army. But by the time it
got there -- because of the cold --
it broke, the whole truckload.
GOLDBERG
(pause)
So I'm responsible for the weather?
PFEFFERBERG
I asked for metal, you gave me glass.
GOLDBERG
This is not my problem.
PFEFFERBERG
Look it up.
Goldberg doesn't bother; he pockets his little notepad and
intones a response to the priest's prayer, all but ignoring
Pfefferberg.
PFEFFERBERG
This is not your problem? Everybody
wants to know who I got it from, and
I'm going to tell them.
Goldberg glances to Pfefferberg for the first time, and,
greatly put upon, takes out his little notepad again and
makes a notation in it.
GOLDBERG
Metal.
He flips the pad closed, pockets it, crosses himself as he
gets up, and leaves.
INT. HOTEL - DAY
Pfefferberg at the front desk of a sleepy hotel with another
black market middleman, the desk clerk. Both are wearing
their armbands. Pfefferberg underlines figures on a little
notepad of his own --
PFEFFERBERG
Let's say this is what you give me.
These are fees I have to pay some
guys. This is my commission. This is
what I bring you back in Occupation
currency.
The clerk, satisfied with the figures, is about to hand over
to Pfefferberg some outlawed Polish notes from an envelope
when Schindler comes in from the street. The clerk puts the
money away, gets Schindler his room key, waits for him to
leave so he can finish his business with Pfefferberg... but
Schindler doesn't leave; he just keeps looking over at
Pfefferberg's shirt, at the cuffs, the collar.
PFEFFERBERG
That's a nice shirt.
Pfefferberg nods, Yeah, thanks, and waits for Schindler to
leave; but he doesn't. Nor does he appear to hear the short
burst of muffled gunfire that erupts from somewhere up the
street.
SCHINDLER
You don't know where I could find a
shirt like that.
Pfefferberg knows he should say 'no,' let that be the end of
it. It's not wise doing business with a German who could
have you arrested for no reason whatsoever. But there's
something guileless about it.
PFEFFERBERG
Like this?
SCHINDLER
(nodding)
There's nothing in the stores.
The clerk tries to discourage Pfefferberg from pursuing this
transaction with just a look. Pfefferberg ignores it.
PFEFFERBERG
You have any idea what a shirt like
this costs?
SCHINDLER
Nice things cost money.
The clerk tries to tell Pfefferberg again with a look that
this isn't smart.
PFEFFERBERG
How many?
SCHINDLER
I don't know, ten or twelve. That's
a good color. Dark blues, grays.
Schindler takes out his money and begins peeling off bills,
waiting for Pfefferberg to nod when it's enough. He's being
overcharged, and he knows it, but Pfefferberg keeps pushing
it, more. The look Schindler gives him lets him know that
he's trying to hustle a hustler, but that, in this instance
at least, he'll let it go. He hands over the money and
Pfefferberg hands over his notepad.
PFEFFERBERG
Write down your measurements.
As he writes down the information, Pfefferberg glances to
the desk clerk and offers a shrug. As he writes --
SCHINDLER
I'm going to need some other things.
As things come up.
EXT. GARDEN - SCHERNER'S RESIDENCE - CRACOW - DAY
As Oberfuhrer Scherner and his daughter, in a wedding gown,
dance to the music of a quartet on a bandstand, the reception
guests drink and eat at tables set up on an expansive lawn.
CZURDA
The SS doesn't own the trains,
somebody's got to pay. Whether it's
a passenger car or a livestock car,
it doesn't matter -- which, by the
way, you have to see. You have to
set aside an afternoon, go down to
the station and see this.
Other SS and Army officers share the table with Czurda.
Schindler, too, nice blue shirt, jacket, only he doesn't
seem to be paying attention; rather his attention and
affections are directed to the blonde next to him, Ingrid.
CZURDA
So you got thousands of fares that
have to be paid. Since it's the SS
that's reserved the trains, logically
they should pay. But this is a lot
of money.
(pause)
The Jews. They're the ones riding
the trains, they should pay. So you
got Jews paying their own fares to
ride on cattle cars to God knows
where. They pay the SS full fare,
the SS turns around, pays the railroad
a reduced excursion fare, and pockets
the difference.
He shrugs, There you have it. Brilliant. He glances off,
sees something odd across the yard. Two horses, saddled-up,
being led into the garden by a stable boy.
SCHINDLER
(to Ingrid)
Excuse me.
Schindler gets up from the table. Scherner, his wife and
daughter and son-in-law stare at the horses; they're
beautiful.
Schindler appears, takes the reins from the stable boy, hands
one set to the bride and the other to the groom.
SCHINDLER
There's nothing more sacred than
marriage. No happier an occasion
than one's wedding day. I wish you
all the best.
Scherner hails a photographer. As the guy comes over with
his camera, so does just about everybody else. Scherner
insists Schindler pose with the astonished bride and groom.
Big smiles. Flash.
INT. STOREFRONT - CRACOW - DAY
A neighborhood place. Bread, pastries, couple of tables. At
one sits owner and a well-dressed man in his seventies, Max
Redlicht.
OWNER
I go to the bank, I go in, they tell
me my account's been placed in Trust.
In Trust? What are they talking about,
whose Trust? The Germans'. I look
around. Now I see that everybody's
arguing, they can't get to their
money either.
MAX REDLICHT
This is true?
OWNER
I'll take you there.
Max looks at the man not without sympathy. He's never heard
of such a thing. It's really a bad deal. But then --
MAX REDLICHT
Let me understand. The Nazis have
taken your money. So because they've
done this to you, you expect me to
go unpaid. That's what you're saying.
The owner of the place just stares at Redlicht.
MAX REDLICHT
That makes sense to you?
The man doesn't answer. He watches Max get up and cross to
