If I was Babe...


At the very end I would've grabbed a few of the diamonds before making my exit from Szell's corpse. None of the investigators would ever have known. He was an idealist, sure, but tuition at Columbia has always been steep. If he pocketed a dozen or so diamonds and found himself a decent fence, then he's a millionaire. Tuition problem solved and then some.

Taking blood money from a regime that killed millions of your people is something that most Jews wouldn't do.

An intellectual like Babe knows this and would haunt his conscious for the rest of his life.

Didn't look like he even considered it as a option in the movie.
