I Can See Now, it Wasn't Me that Failed — Something was Missing.

I am Oskar Schindler,
of The Sudetenland —
and I am filled with 
GLORIOUS Purpose.




Emilie Schindler :
It's not a charade, all this?

How could it be a charade?
The clothes, the car, the apartment.

Wait a minute.
Take a guess how many
people are on my payroll.

Emilie Schindler :
Oskar.

My Father, at the height of His
Success, had 50. I've got 350.

300 and 50 workers on the factory floor, with one purpose.

Emilie Schindler :
To make pots and pans?

To make money. For me.

Does anyone ask about me?
Back home? 

Everybody. All the time.

Hmm.

They won't soon forget The Name
Schindler here, I can tell you that.

"Oskar Schindler," they'll say.
"Everybody remembers him.
He did something extraordinary.

He did something no one else did.

He came here with nothing, a suitcase, and built a bankrupt company into a major manufactory.

And left with a steamer trunk —
TWO steamer trunks full of money.
All The Riches of The World."

Hmm.

It's comforting to see that 
nothing's changed.

You're wrong, Emilie.

There's no way I could 
have known this before, 
but there was always 
something missing.

In every business I tried, 
I can see now, it wasn't 
Me that Failed.

Something was Missing.

Even if I'd known what it was, 
there's nothing I could 
have done about it, 
because you can't 
create this thing.

And it makes all the difference in The World 
between Success and Failure.

“Luck?”

WAR.
