Schindler's List Good vs. Evil Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Schindler's List.

Quote #4

GOETH: I can't wager Helen in a card game.

SCHINDLER: Why not?

GOETH: Wouldn't be right.

You have got to be kidding.

Quote #5

SCHINDLER: Nothing bad's going to happen to you there. You'll receive special treatment.

STERN: The directives coming in from Berlin mention "special treatment" more and more often. I'd like to think that's not what you mean.

SCHINDLER: Preferential treatment, alright? Do we have to invent a whole new language?

STERN: I think so.

Stern's still acting as Schindler's moral compass here, quietly pointing out that Schindler is still essentially using Nazi-speak and leaving the other Jews to their fate.

Quote #6

STERN: The list is an absolute good. The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf.

The list is an absolute good, but it's disturbing to think that it's a small island of good in a giant ocean of evil. Stern's image is a powerful one.
