Schindler's List Intelligence Quotes

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

Quote #10

SCHINDLER: These are my workers. They should be on my train. They're skilled munitions workers. They're essential. Essential girls! 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!

This is an epic piece of horse pucky, delivered on the fly and with the lives of several dozen children at stake. It shows us once again not only how smart Schindler is, but how he can deploy that intelligence on the spot to actively save lives.
