A scene from Schindler's List 1993
Schindler

For each thousand you invest, I will repay you with two hundred kilos of enamelware a month, to begin in July and to continue for one year - after which time we're even. That's it. It's very simple.

Investor

Not good enough...

Schindler

Not good enough? Look where you're living. Look where you've been put. 'Not good enough.' A couple of months ago, you'd be right. Not anymore.

Investor

Money's still money.

Schindler

No it is not. That's why we're here. Trade goods, that's the only currency that'll be worth anything in the ghetto. Things have changed, my friend. Did I call this meeting? You told Mr. Stern you wanted to speak to me. I'm here. I've made you a fair offer.

Investor

Fair would be a percentage of the company.

Schindler

[laughs]

Forget the whole thing. Get out.

Investor

How do we know that you will do what you say?

Schindler

Because I said I would. Do you want a contract? To be upheld by what court? I said what I'll do, that's our contract.
