S.S. Guard Quotes in Schindler's List (1993)

Oskar Schindler: What are you doing? These are mine. These are my workers. They should be on my train. They're skilled munitions workers. They're essential. Essential girls!

[shows the guard Danka Dresner's hand]

Oskar Schindler: Their fingers polish the inside of shell metal casings. How else am I to polish the inside of a 45 millimeter shell casing? You tell me. You tell me!

S.S. Guard: [to the girls he has been herding away from their parents] Back on the train!

Reiter: [about to be shot] It will take more than that.

S.S. Guard: I'm sure you're right.

[shoots her]

S.S. Guard: You did this? You stole the chicken?

Child: [shakes his head]

S.S. Guard: But you know who did?

Child: [points at the dead body] Him!

Amon Goeth: [addressing prisoners] Nobody knows who stole the chicken, hmm?

S.S. Guard: Tell him about the chicken!

Amon Goeth: A man walks around with a chicken and nobody notices this...

S.S. Guard: Save yourselves, save yourself. Tell him about the chicken!

Amon Goeth: My place is where?

S.S. Guard: There, sir.

Amon Goeth: There?

S.S. Guard: Yeah, its a villa.

Amon Goeth: You call that a villa!

S.S. Guard: The synagogue, can you see it?

Amon Goeth: That's not a villa...

S.S. Guard: We're planning on turning it into the camp stables.

Amon Goeth: It's a house!

S.S. Guard: Occupation?

Moses: I am a writer, I play the flute.

Itzhak Stern: But Moses is also a skilled metal worker, he can make pots, he can make tanks, he can make whatever Mr Schindler asks.

Amon Goeth: [about to execute a prisoner when his gun jams] Oh, Christ!

Hujar: May I try that, sir?

[takes gun while prisoner cowers on ground]

S.S. Guard: Check the angle lever, maybe it's bent.

Hujar: No, no. You wouldn't hear a "click" if its the angle lever, it's the pin.

S.S. Guard: Maybe its the pin. Maybe the pin shaft is greasy?

Hujar: What did I just say? Here.

[hands back gun and it jams again]
