Margot Robbie - The Wolf of Wall Street Screenplay lyrics

1 INSERT - TV COMMERCIAL - DAY 1 Over jungle sound effects, the CAMERA is low, moving through brush from the POV of a stalking animal. As the brush parts, revealing Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange, we HEAR the resonant voice of GENE HACKMAN. GENE HACKMAN (V.O.) The world of investing can be a jungle. 1A WE SEE a charging, snorting BULL. 1A GENE HACKMAN (V.O.) Bulls. 1B WE SEE a ferocious, growling BEAR. 1B GENE HACKMAN (V.O.) Bears. Danger at every turn. Pretentious CLASSICAL MUSIC kicks in. GENE HACKMAN (V.O.) That's why we at Stratton Oakmont pride ourselves on being the best. 1C-1D VARIOUS SHOTS -- a conservative young MAN reviews a stock 1C-1D portfolio with a wealthy older COUPLE; a smiling young WOMAN sits before a computer talking into a headset. GENE HACKMAN (V.O.) Trained professionals to guide you through the financial wilderness. 1E WE SEE the Stratton “team” - an ethnically diverse group 1E of ACTORS with their handsome, grey-templed “CHAIRMAN”. GENE HACKMAN (V.O.) Stratton Oakmont. Stability. Integrity. Pride. 1F WE SEE a shot of the black gla** Stratton Building, and: 1F 2 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - DAY (FEB ‘95) 2 Absolute bedlam. 300 drunken STOCKBROKERS, most in their early 20s, chant wildly as JORDAN BELFORT, handsome, 30, stands beside a DWARF dressed in tights, cape & helmet. JORDAN Twenty five grand to the first co*ks**er to nail a bullseye! The “bullseye” is a large dollar sign in the middle of a giant velcro “dartboard”. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 2. JORDAN (CONT'D) Watch and learn, people! The Brokers go apesh** as Jordan grabs the Dwarf by his pants and collar. In the Crowd, cash flies as side bets are made. Jordan winds up, aims for the “dartboard”. JORDAN (CONT'D) One. Two. Throw!! The Brokers cheer, and as the screaming Dwarf takes flight, hurtling toward camera, we FREEZE FRAME: JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D) My name is Jordan Belfort. No, not * him, me. I'm a former member of * the middle cla** raised by two accountants in a tiny apartment in Bayside, Queens. 3-3B A SERIES OF POLAROIDS -- (1969) 3*-3B Jordan, 7, smiles as he poses behind a lemonade stand, his parents Max and Leah behind him; Jordan, 13, stands holding a styrofoam cooler, selling ices on the beach; Jordan, 18, smiles as he holds an Amway sales brochure. JORDAN (V.O.) The year I turned 26, I made 49 million dollars as the head of my own brokerage firm-- 4 EXT. LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY - DAY (FEB ‘95) 4 A CHERRY RED Ferrari Testarossa ZOOMS down the L.I.E. JORDAN (V.O.) --which really pissed me off because it was three shy of a million a week. The Ferrari weaves in and out of traffic. JORDAN (V.O.) Hey, my Ferrari was white, like Don Johnson's in Miami Vice. We see the same Ferrari, now in WHITE, as it zooms away, a BLONDE head bobbing up and down in Jordan's lap. 5 EXT. LONG ISLAND'S NORTH SHORE - DAY (FEB ‘95) 5 A twin-engine Bell Jet helicopter descends over a huge mansion, with sparkling pool, tennis court and waterfall. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 3. JORDAN (V.O.) See that humongous estate down there? That's my house. 6 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY (FEB ‘95) 6 We see NAOMI, 24, blonde and gorgeous, a living wet dream in LaPerla lingerie. JORDAN (V.O.) My wife, Naomi, the Duchess of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, a former model and Miller Lite girl. Naomi licks her lips; she's incredibly, painfully hot. JORDAN (V.O.) Yeah, she was the one blowing me in the Ferrari, so put your dick back in your pants. Over the following, WE SEE a quick 7-7C SERIES OF SHOTS 7-7C All taken from TV; a mansion from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous; wealthy PEOPLE applauding at a polo match; a yacht sailing crystal blue seas; Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers toasting with champagne on Hart to Hart. JORDAN (V.O.) In addition to Naomi and my two perfect kids, I own a mansion, private jet, six cars, three horses, two vacation homes and a 170 foot yacht. 8 INT. HOTEL BEDROOM - NIGHT (FEB ‘95) 8 Sweaty, wild-eyed and naked, Jordan f**s an HISPANIC HOOKER from behind. JORDAN (V.O.) I also gamble like a degenerate, drink like a fish, f** hookers maybe five times a week and have three different Federal agencies looking to indict me. He dismounts, snorts some coke through a straw, then uses it to blow some into her a**hole. JORDAN (V.O.) Oh yeah, and I love d**. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 4. Jordan looks up suddenly, paranoid, as if he's hearing voices. 9 INT. HELICOPTER - NIGHT (FEB ‘95) 9 Jordan, drooling and stoned out of his skull, wears a rumpled custom-made business suit as he mans a set of controls next to his frantic co-pilot, CAPTAIN DAVE. Pull up! crash!! CAPTAIN DAVE Jesus! We're gonna Jordan's head bobs as he pulls back on the stick. The helicopter rises sharply, then levels out, hovering 30 feet above a huge mansion. Down below, through Jordan's hazy, DOUBLE VISIONED POV, we see a sparkling pool, tennis court and waterfall. JORDAN (V.O.) Check this out -- despite my completely f**ed-up state, I could fly straight while still seeing two of everything. He closes one eye; his POV sharpens. Putting pressure on the stick, the helicopter descends slowly over the driving range... then LURCHES and SLAMS to the ground. JORDAN (to Captain Dave) Ya guzza git hazarous doozy pay, buddy. 10 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - FRONT DOOR - DAY (FEB ‘95) 10 Morning. Sober now, impeccable in suit and tie, Jordan heads for the door holding a gla** of orange juice. JORDAN (V.O.) Yes, on a daily basis I take enough d** to sedate greater Long Island. 11 EXT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - CONTINUOUS (FEB ‘95) 11 He pops two white pills, swigs some juice, then speaks directly to the camera as he heads for a waiting limo. JORDAN I take Quaaludes for my back, fifteen to twenty a day. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 5. JORDAN (CONT'D) I use Xanax to stay focused, ambien to sleep, pot to mellow out, c**aine to wake up and morphine because it's awesome. 12 EXT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - LONG ISLAND - DAY (FEB ‘95) 12 The limo pulls up to the black gla** office building. Jordan gets out, heads inside through a back door. JORDAN But of all the d** under God's blue heaven, there's one that's my absolute favorite. 13 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY (FEB ‘95) 13 Gadgets, computers, oxblood leather furniture. With the DIN of the brokerage firm bleeding in, Jordan uses a credit card to cut a line of coke on his desk. As he peels a crisp $100 DOLLAR BILL off a wad, rolls it up: JORDAN Enough of this sh**'ll make you invincible, able to conquer the world and eviscerate your enemies. He SNARFS up the line, gestures to the c**aine. JORDAN (CONT'D) I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about this. (Jordan unfurls the $100 with a SNAP) Money is the oxygen of capitalism and I wanna breathe more than any other human being alive. He crumbles it into a ball and tosses it into a corner, where it comes to rest with two dozen others. Over his back as we TRACK HIM out of his office toward what sounds like the ROAR of a mob-- JORDAN (V.O.) Money doesn't just buy you a better life -- better food, better cars, better p**y -- it also makes you a better person. You can give generously to the church of your choice or the political party. You can save the f**ing spotted owl with money. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 6. 14 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - DAY (FEB ‘95) 14 Arms akimbo, Jordan stands above the bullpen, a huge open space with tightly packed rows of maple colored desks. JORDAN (V.O.) But most of all, in any country in the world, money can buy you love. f** the Beatles. His 300 BROKERS, mostly young men with their jackets off, scream wildly. They worship him. JORDAN (V.O.) With that in mind, at the tender age of 22, after marrying my girlfriend Teresa-- 14A SCENES 14A - 18 OMITTED 14A 19 EXT. WALL STREET - DAY (MAY ‘87) 19 An express bus pull up -- its sign reads “Wall Street”.... JORDAN (V.O.) --I headed to the only place that befit my high-minded ambitions... Jordan emerges, kisses TERESA goodbye, then joins a sea of Commuters heading to work. JERRY FOGEL (PRE-LAP) You are lower than f**ing pond scum. 20 INT. L.F. ROTHSCHILD - BULLPEN - DAY (MAY ‘87) 20 Computers, telephones everywhere. At their desks, 45 shirt-sleeved BROKERS read their Wall St. Journals, readying for war. Like an eager puppy, Jordan follows broker JERRY FOGEL, 30, thick-lipped and bow-tied... JERRY FOGEL You got a problem with that? (reads name tag) Jordan? JORDAN Nope. No problem at all. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 7. JERRY FOGEL Your job is ‘connector', which means you'll be dialing the phone over 500 times a day, trying to ‘connect' me with business owners. And till you pa** your Series 7, that's all you'll be doing. Sit. Jordan takes a seat at the desk next to Fogel's. JERRY FOGEL (CONT'D) Just so you know, last year I made over 300k and the other guy you'll be working for made a million. JORDAN (V.O.) A million dollars? I could only imagine what a douchebag that guy must be. A manicured hand lands on Jordan's shoulder. It's MARK HANNA, 30s, charismatic, movie-star handsome. MARK HANNA Jordan? Mark Hanna. (re: Fogel) Good, you've met Jerry. One of the smartest guys in the office. Who's ever s**ed a dog's co*k out of loneliness. Fogel's smile turns to a frown. He hands Jordan a stack of 3x5 index cards. JERRY FOGEL Smile and dial. And don't pick your f**ing head up till one. MARK HANNA Don't mind Jerry, his father raped him as a child. Besides, I'm senior broker here, he's a worthless piker. I heard you pitched stock at your job interview. JORDAN Had to do something to stand out. MARK HANNA I f**in' love that! Let's grab lunch later. Windows good with you? JORDAN Great. Yeah. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 8. Hanna gives him a wink, looks at the clock on the giant electronic stock ticker encircling the room -- 9:30 a.m. MARK HANNA Let's f**!! RING!!! Absolute pandemonium at the BELL signalling the opening of the stock market. Feet fly off desks; Brokers and their Connectors dial phones like mad. The CAMERA PUSHES IN on JORDAN, mesmerized as he takes in the ROAR. BROKER #1 (to Broker #2) Miniscribe's a f**in' steal! Thirty eight bucks a share! MARK HANNA (into headset) Your broker in West Virginia? What are you buying, a coal mine? It's the 80s, the game is high-tech. BROKER #2 (to Broker #3) f**face! I got 50,000 July 50s! JORDAN (V.O.) You want to know what money sounds like? Visit a trading floor on Wall Street. f** this, sh** that. co*k, c*nt, a**hole. I couldn't believe how these guys talked to each other-- Fogel notices Jordan sitting there frozen. He covers his mouthpiece, kicks the desk violently. JERRY FOGEL Dial the co*ks**ing phone! Jordan snaps out of it, starts dialing. JORDAN (V.O.) I was hooked within seconds. Mark Hanna slams down his phone in victory, scrawls out a “buy” ticket. He places the ticket into a gla** cylinder which he slips into a plastic pneumatic tube. JORDAN (V.O.) It was like mainlining adrenaline. The tube is WHOOSHED into the ceiling and we're suddenly-- The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 9. 21 INT. WINDOWS ON THE WORLD - DAY (MAY ‘87) 21 CLOSE ON a COKE SPOON whose contents disappear up a nostril. PULL BACK TO REVEAL... The lunchtime power spot with panoramic views of the city. At a corner table, a paranoid Jordan looks around as Hanna does another bump of coke. None of the other DINERS seem to notice or care. MARK HANNA (offering the spoon) Got enough for one more? Tootski? JORDAN No. Thanks though. Hanna slips the vial into his pocket as HECTOR, the tuxedoed Maitre'D, approaches. HECTOR Mr. Hanna, what can I bring for you on this glorious afternoon? Hanna surreptitiously palms Hector a $100; Jordan notices. MARK HANNA Here's the game plan, Hector. Bring us two Absolut Martinis straight up. Precisely seven and a half minutes after you deliver those you'll bring two more, then two more every five minutes until one of us pa**es out. HECTOR An excellent strategy, sir. JORDAN Actually, I'm good with 7-Up. Jordan might as well have farted at the table. MARK HANNA First day on Wall Street, Hector. Give him time. (Hector offers menus) No thanks, I'm not eating. Hector heads off. JORDAN You can get high during the day and still function? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 10. MARK HANNA High is the only way to do this f**ing job. Guy who coined the term “three-martini lunch” was a woman. Cocaine and hookers, my friend, the keys to success. Jordan smiles, not sure if Hanna is kidding. JORDAN I gotta say, I'm really excited about being part of your team. I wanna do all I can for our clients and -- MARK HANNA (reciting an ad) “Here at L.F. Rothschild, our clients aren't just important, they're family.” Just as long as we get our taste first. Remember something, Jordan, your top priority in this job: make us money. If the clients get rich along the way, bully for them. Got a girlfriend? JORDAN Wife. She cuts hair. Mark swallows a comment about that. Gets to business. MARK HANNA OK, first rule of Wall Street. Nobody -- and I don't care if you're Warren Buffet or Jimmy Buffet -- nobody knows if a stock's going up, down or f**ing sideways, least of all stock brokers. But we have to pretend we know. Make sure you stay relaxed. Nobody wants to buy something from someone who sounds like they haven't gotten laid in a month. Take breaks when you feel stressed, jerk off if you can. You like jerking off, right? JORDAN Well... sure. MARK HANNA Good, jerking off is key. And I highly recommend c**aine, which will make you dial faster, which is good for me. Churn ‘em and burn ‘em, baby. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 11. A BUSBOY stops by with a fresh napkin for Mark who thanks him. Then, discreetly as possible, Mark removes a fresh vial of c**aine tucked within and takes a quick snort. Jordan realizes: that's why he palmed the maitre d' $100. JORDAN (V.O.) For the next six months I learned the ways of Wall Street. 22 INT. STRIP CLUB - NIGHT (OCT ‘87) 22 As STRIPPERS grind in b.g, Jordan parties with Mark Hanna and dozens of BROKERS and TRAINEES. Jordan sips a martini and studies Mark Hanna, hitting on a STRIPPER. JORDAN (V.O.) That fall I pa**ed my Series 7. Finally it was here. 23 INT. ROTHSCHILD BUILDING - LOBBY - DAY (OCT ‘87) 23 Briefcase in hand, Jordan boards the elevator with a dozen other BROKERS. JORDAN (V.O.) My first day as a stockbroker, a future Master of the Universe. And as the doors close, on screen WE SEE: OCTOBER 19th, 1987 24 INT. L.F. ROTHSCHILD - BULLPEN - DAY (OCT ‘87) 24 Total chaos. Jordan dials the phone as all around him Brokers panic, screaming into headsets. JORDAN (V.O.) They called it Black Monday. By four p.m. the market was down 508 points, the biggest one-day drop since the crash of ‘29. 4 p.m. The closing bell RINGS; the entire place goes silent. Brokers look at each other, stunned. MARK HANNA Holy. f**ing. sh**. And as the Brokers start commiserating with each other... The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 12. JORDAN (V.O.) L.F. Rothschild, a company that had been in business since 1883, closed its doors within a month. 25 INT. JORDAN & TERESA'S APARTMENT - KITCHEN - DAY (DEC ‘87) 25 Jordan sits at the table perusing the Times cla**ifieds. Teresa approaches with two coffees. Sits next to him. TERESA So I'll take an extra shift, don't worry about it. JORDAN You work too much as it is. TERESA We could pawn my engagement ring. JORDAN We're not pawning anything. I'm gonna be a millionaire, Teresa. TERESA You know that doesn't matter, right? He smiles, kisses her. Together, they peruse the ads. JORDAN (points to an ad) “Nobody Beats the Wiz”. I could be a stock boy. TERESA You're a stock broker. JORDAN No one's hiring brokers right now, sweetie. They go back to the ads. After a few beats, she points-- TERESA This place is. 26 EXT. STRIP MALL - PARKING LOT - LONG ISLAND - DAY (DEC ‘87) 26 In a suit, Jordan emerges from an ‘85 Datsun. He looks around confused, heads toward an unmarked storefront. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 13. 27 INT. INVESTOR'S CENTER - DAY (DEC ‘87) 27 The antithesis of L.F. Rothschild, with cheap furniture and a dozen misfit “BROKERS” giving loud, obnoxious sales pitches. Jordan enters, a modern man among cave people. DWAYNE, slovenly, 35, with a walrus mustache, looks up. JORDAN I'm looking for Investor's Center? DWAYNE That's us, hey. Dwayne. JORDAN (as they shake hands) Jordan Belfort, I called earlier. I was a broker with Rothschild. Dwayne motions Jordan to a seat. Nearby, a Broker in ratty Keds, TOBY WELCH, is screaming into his phone. TOBY WELCH I'm tellin' you, this stock is goin' up!... Cause I know, okay?!... I have inside information! Jordan looks at him, appalled at what he's hearing. JORDAN Where are your quotrons? DWAYNE No quotrons, we sell off the pink sheets -- penny stocks. Dwayne slides Jordan a large thin book; its pages are literally pink. He explains as Jordan flips the pages: DWAYNE (CONT'D) Company don't have enough capital to be listed on NASDAQ, their shares trade here. (points to the book) Like these guys, Aerotyne? They make radar detectors out of a garage in Dubuque. JORDAN Six cents a share? Who buys this crap? DWAYNE Schmucks mostly. Mailmen, plumbers, people thinking they can get rich quick. They answer our ads, Popular Mechanics, Hustler. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 14. JORDAN The spread on these is huge. DWAYNE So's your commission, that's the point. Blue chips stocks you get what, one percent? Pink sheets are fifty. JORDAN Wait a second. You're telling me if I sell two thousand dollars worth of stock, my commission is a thousand bucks? DWAYNE Technically, yeah, but not even the biggest schmuck buys two thousand dollars of this sh**. 28 INT. INVESTOR'S CENTER - (LATER THAT) DAY (DEC '87) 28 As others Brokers bark into phones, Jordan sits, phone cradled in his shoulder, making notes. A few beats, then: JORDAN (into phone) Mr. Fleming, good morning, Jordan Belfort with Investor's Center in New York City. You recently responded to one of our ads... A few of the other Brokers glance over, eavesdropping. JORDAN (CONT'D) The reason I'm calling is that an extremely exciting investment opportunity crossed my desk today. Typically our firm recommends no more than five stocks per year: this is one of them... A few more Brokers look over... JORDAN (CONT'D) Aerotyne International is a cutting edge tech firm out of the Midwest, awaiting imminent patent approval on a new generation of radar equipment... LATER. Now all the Brokers listen in rapt attention. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 15. JORDAN (CONT'D) -- so if Aerotyne's shares rise to only a dollar -- and our research indicates they could go much, much higher -- your profit on a mere three thousand dollar investment would be upwards of fifty thousand... That's right, you could pay off your mortgage. Seconds tick by; an eternity, then he starts writing: JORDAN (CONT'D) Four thousand dollars, will that be check or money order?... Thank you, sir. Jordan hangs up, scrawls out a “buy” ticket. JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D) Just like that I made two grand. The other guys looked at me like I'd just discovered fire. Toby Welch and the other cave-Brokers stare at him. TOBY WELCH How'd you f**in' do that? 29 INT. INVESTOR'S CENTER - (ANOTHER) DAY (FEB ‘88) 29 Jordan sits at his desk in mid-pitch, totally focused. JORDAN It's a rock-solid company, sir, it's the next Microsoft... Six thousand. Terrific. As Jordan continues talking, wrapping up the sale... JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D) Though I knew I was selling garbage, within twelve weeks I was making a fortune. And as he starts scrawling out a buy ticket... JORDAN (V.O.) And as a wise man once told me, my only responsibility was to put meat on the table. CLOSE ON a 1988 Jaguar, parked outside a diner... The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 16. 30 INT. KACANDES DINER - BAYSIDE - DAY (JUN ‘88) 30 Wearing a suit, Jordan sits in a booth reading the Wall Street Journal as a WAITRESS serves the food. DONNIE AZOFF, preppy-looking, 25, with horn-rims and bright white teeth approaches from the takeout counter. DONNIE That your Jag in the lot? Yeah. Nice ride. JORDAN DONNIE Donnie Azoff. JORDAN Jordan Belfort. DONNIE I've seen it around. We live in the same building. Twelfth floor? (Jordan nods) What do you do, bro? JORDAN Stock broker. DONNIE Kids furniture, me and my brother-in-law. Making any money? JORDAN Seventy grand last month. DONNIE Get the f** out. You made seventy grand in one month. JORDAN Seventy two actually. Donnie studies him, isn't sure if he's full of sh**. DONNIE Tell you what. You show me a pay stub with $72,000 on it, I'm quitting my job right now and coming to work with you. As Jordan retrieves his briefcase to find a paystub -- * 30A SCENE 30A OMITTED *30A 30B As Jordan hands Donnie his paystub and sure enough, it's *30B north of seventy-two k. * The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 17. DONNIE (CONT'D) * Holy sh**. Jordan watches as Donnie crosses to a pay phone and dials. JORDAN (V.O.) And he did quit his job, which I thought was a little weird. I mean I had just met this f**ing guy. A few beats, then into phone: DONNIE Yo Paulie, it's Donnie... Yeah, listen, I quit. Jordan studies Donnie as he continues his conversation... JORDAN (V.O.) There were other things about him too, like his phosphorescent white teeth and the fact that he wore horn rims with clear lenses to look more Waspy. He also married his first cousin -- 31 SCENE 31 OMITTED 31 32 INT. BAR - DAY (JUN ‘88) *32 Jordan sits in mid-conversation with Donnie over beers. DONNIE No problem, if we have a kid who's a retard, we'll just leave it on the steps of some institution. And as they continue drinking... JORDAN (V.O.) He was also a closet drug fiend. I'd known him less than a week before he talked me into smoking crack. 33 EXT. BACK OF BAR - DAY (JUN ‘88) *33 Jordan and Donnie get high. Donnie holds a flame under a crack pipe. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 18. JORDAN (V.O.) The weird thing was when he'd do crack, his face would contort into this bizarre, frozen mask like the Phantom of the Opera. Donnie does a hit of crack; his jaw twitches, then his facial muscles contort, locking up like a stroke victim. After a few beats, he hands the pipe to Jordan. DONNIE You now, take a hit! Jordan takes a deep hit and holds it. A beat, then: JORDAN Omigod, I f**in' love you!! JORDAN (V.O.) I knew I had to make him my partner. 34 INT. INVESTOR'S CENTER - DAY (SEP ‘88) 34 Jordan looks on as Donnie works the phone like a madman. JORDAN (V.O.) Which turned out to be a great move - Donnie was a fast learner who transitioned into the penny stock business quickly. 35 EXT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP - DAY (SEP ‘88) 35 Jordan and Donnie pull up to a defunct auto body shop, which has a “For Lease” sign in the window. JORDAN (V.O.) So within months we started our own firm out of an abandoned auto body shop. 36 INT. KACANDES DINER - DAY (OCT ‘88) 36 Jordan sits with CHESTER MING, ROBBIE FEINBERG, ALDEN KUPFERBERG (”SEA OTTER”) and BRAD, muscular and bald, with a Fu Manchu mustache. JORDAN (V.O.) In addition to Donnie, I also recruited my friends Sea Otter, * Chester and Robbie, who were at * the time all middling pot dealers. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 19. As a WAITRESS serves cheeseburgers: JORDAN --see everyone wants to get rich, so you're already half way there by the time the call starts. SEA OTTER I sold weed once to this Amish dude, had one of those beards with no mustache? ROBBIE FEINBERG So? SEA OTTER He only wanted to make furniture. CHESTER MING What's that got to do with anything? SEA OTTER He just said everyone wants to get rich. ROBBIE FEINBERG (to Jordan) That's true, you did. SEA OTTER Buddhists too, they don't give a sh** about money either. CHESTER MING Man I could sell weed to anybody, get a convent full of nuns f**ing wasted. And as Brad looks at Jordan and shakes his head: 37 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - BULLPEN 37 (OCT ‘88) We see the above guys working the phones. JORDAN (V.O.) Brad, the guy I really wanted, took a pa**, since he'd become the Quaalude king of Bayside. 38 EXT. BRAD'S HOUSE - BACKYARD GYM - DAY (OCT ‘88) 38 Bare-chested, wearing kung fu pants, Brad sells ludes to a couple of HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 20. JORDAN (V.O.) They were absolute morons, my friends, but like I always said-- 39 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - BULLPEN - DAY 39 (OCT ‘88) Jordan emerges from his office into the garage area (the bullpen), looking on as Donnie, Chester, Robbie, Sea Otter and four other BROKERS (now including RUGRAT and Toby) make sales calls from the cheap desks. JORDAN (V.O.) Give me them young, hungry and stupid and in no time I'll make them rich. 40 EXT. MARINA - LONG ISLAND - SUNSET (MAY ‘89) 40 On lounge chairs at the edge of a dock, bottle of wine nearby, Jordan sits with Teresa. He smiles as she opens a j**elry case -- inside is a diamond tennis bracelet. TERESA Omigod. Jordan. JORDAN You like it? TERESA It's beautiful. Jordan helps her try it on. She smiles, but he detects a wave of... something. JORDAN They're small, I know, but the stones are really high quality. TERESA No, no. I love it. Then what? They sit in silence. JORDAN Finally: TERESA I don't know, it's just -- these stocks, these crappy companies. JORDAN In five years the Corleone family will be completely legitimate. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 21. TERESA Why can't you be legitimate now? JORDAN It's not illegal, Teresa, technically. I mean they're real stocks, they're just... TERESA Never gonna make anybody money. (a few beats; then) Wouldn't you feel better selling this junk to rich people, who can afford to lose the money at least? JORDAN Rich people don't buy penny stocks. TERESA Why not? And on Jordan's look: JORDAN (V.O.) Because they're too smart, that's why not. 41 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - DAY (AUG ‘89) 41 CLOSE ON Jordan, brow furrowing as his wheels turn. JORDAN (V.O.) I mean what person of any substance would trust this bunch of jerk-offs? Like the Pinhead, * Robbie Feinberg. 42 SCENES 42 - 46 OMITTED *42 46A INSERT ID PHOTO - TOBY WELCH *46A JORDAN (V.O.) * Toby Welch. I mean, look at this * f**ing Cro-Magnon, I wouldn't * trust him to pick up a rock. * (ALT) * JORDAN (V.O.) * Toby Welch.

Or Nicky Koskoff, who I called Rugrat because-- 46E INSERT ID PHOTO - RUGRAT 46E JORDAN (V.O.) Well, you can probably figure that out for yourself. 47 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - REAR - NIGHT 47 (MAR ‘90) The camera PUSHES IN on Jordan as he stands before a large dry erase board. JORDAN (V.O.) But what if they didn't sound like jerk-offs? What if I took this bunch of nincompoops and molded them in my own image? I reinvented the company, gave it a new image, a new name. Something patrician, blue-blooded, something that reeked of tradition and anti-semitism. And as his Brokers settle in to folding chairs-- JORDAN Gentlemen, welcome to Stratton Oakmont. The clients we've gone after in the past -- they're done. We will now target exclusively the wealthiest one percent of Americans. The methods we've used -- over. Loud, obnoxious sales hype is worthless with these people. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 23. JORDAN (CONT'D) In military terms it's like carpet-bombing -- noisy, menacing and only marginally effective. As Stratton brokers you will be laser-guided smart-bombs aimed at high-priority targets. You will establish an initial relationship with your clients selling only blue chip stocks -- then and only then will you attempt to sell the pink sheets, where the real money is. Now the key to every sale is this: Jordan writes the word “URGENCY” on the board. JORDAN (CONT'D) No one buys stock unless he thinks it's going up and going up now. You must convince your client to buy before the takeover happens, before the lawsuit is settled, before the patent is granted. If he says I'll think about it and call you back, it's over, you're dead! No one calls back! So you have to create urgency -- 48 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 48 Another day. With Stratton Oakmont signage visible in the b.g., Jordan is on speakerphone with a potential CLIENT, the other Brokers listening in. JORDAN --and once Kodak settles the lawsuit, institutions will be permitted to buy their shares in large blocks again. And when that happens, which is any day now, what do you think will happen to the price of Kodak stock? CLIENT (O.S.) It'll go up? JORDAN Exactly. Which is why you should pick up 5000 shares today, a $200,000 investment. 49 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - REAR - NIGHT 49 Jordan stands addressing his Brokers. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 24. JORDAN Then you lower your voice. 50 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 50 Jordan pitches the client, his voice lowered. JORDAN Believe me, sir, you will not be sorry. 51 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - REAR - NIGHT 51 Jordan stands before the Brokers. JORDAN Then you wait. Whoever speaks first loses. At this point, where are we in the sale? Chester? CHESTER MING About to close? JORDAN No, you sweet and sour douchebag! We're at the beginning of the beginning! This is where the sale starts. You as a salesman are almost hoping he says no so you can finally do your f**ing job! 52 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 52 Jordan sits at the phone, waiting for a response. CLIENT (O.S.) I don't know, I don't think so. 53 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - REAR - NIGHT 53 Jordan stands before the Brokers. JORDAN He doesn't know, he needs to think, he's gotta ask his wife! The fact is it doesn't matter what the f** he says! If he's already agreed that the stock's going up, then the only real objection he has at this point is he doesn't trust you! And he shouldn't trust you, you're a f**ing salesman! So what do you say? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 25. 54 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 54 Donnie talks on the phone to a Client. DONNIE Let me ask you this, sir -- had I been your broker for the past three to four years and made you money on a consistent basis, you probably wouldn't say you need to think about it, you'd probably say pick me up three or four thousand shares, am I right? CLIENT #2 (O.S.) Maybe. 55 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 55 (APR ‘90) The place is crowded; now 20 Brokers make up the sales force. Sea Otter pitches a client. SEA OTTER Wait a second. You mean to tell me if I put you in Union Carbide at 7 and took you out at 32-- 56 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 56 (MAY ‘90) Even more crowded, with 30 Brokers. ROBBIE FEINBERG If I put you in Texas Instruments at 11 and took you out at 47-- 57 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 57 (JUN ‘90) More Brokers still - now there's 45. CHESTER MING --Walmart at 16 and took you out at 95, you wouldn't say Chester pick me up 10,000 shares? C'mon. CLIENT #3 (O.S.) Well yeah, in that case I would. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 26. 58 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT II - BULLPEN - DAY (NOV ‘90) 58 New offices now, a real brokerage firm. The bullpen is large, with 75 Brokers at polished maple desks, sitting before computers talking into headsets. DONNIE So the problem is that I don't have the luxury of a track record. Sir, let me reintroduce myself to you. My name is Donnie Azoff-- 58A CUT TO: 58A RUGRAT --Nicky Koskoff-- * 58B CUT TO: 58B CHESTER MING Chester Ming-- 58C CUT TO: 58C PETER DEBLASIO Peter DeBlasio from Stratton Oakmont in New York City-- 58D CUT TO: 58D TOBY WELCH --and I plan on being the top broker in my firm this year. 58E CUT TO: 58E SEA OTTER So what about this? We start small with 500 shares, a cash outlay of $20,000. 58F CUT TO: 58F KALIL * If the stock goes up 10%, will that make you a rich man? Of course not. 58G CUT TO: 58G KIMMIE BELZER If if goes down 10%, will it make you a poor man? No.. 58H CUT TO: 58H The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 27. CHESTER MING What this trade will do is serve as a benchmark for future business. 58J CUT TO: 58J PETER DEBLASIO The downside is minimal and the upside is a long-term relationship with a broker on Wall Street who will consistently make you money. 58K CUT TO: 58K JORDAN Your only regret will be that I didn't call you six months ago. 58L CUT TO: 58L CLIENT #1 (O.S.) (to Robbie Feinberg) All right. 58M CUT TO: 58M CLIENT #2 (O.S.) (to Sea Otter) Give me 300 shares. 58N CUT TO: 58N CLIENT #3 (O.S.) (to Peter DeBlasio) 1200 shares. 58P CUT TO: 58P CLIENT #4 (O.S.) (to Jordan) I'll take 5000 shares. 59 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT II - BULLPEN - DAY (APR ‘91) 59 4PM the place goes nuts as Jordan emerges from his office * holding a spread sheet. He addresses the crowd of 100 BROKERS, which now includes a dozen WOMEN. JORDAN Everybody have a good week? Applause; war whoops. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 28. JORDAN (CONT'D) I'd like to read you something. (reads spread sheet) Month end, March 1991! $28.7 million in gross commissions - all * in Stratton issues. Not bad for * penny stocks, huh boys? Not bad * for dumpin' penny stocks. * The place goes WILD with applause. JORDAN (CONT'D) And to celebrate with a weekly act of debauchery, I have offered our lovely sales a**istant Danielle Harrison ten thousand dollars to * have her head shaved! Jordan motions to DANIELLE HARRISON, 19, pretty, sitting * in a chair nearby. Behind her, Rugrat uses clippers to shave her thick brown mane. The place goes nuts. JORDAN (CONT'D) FYI, Danielle tells me she's using the money for breast implants! Is this a great company or what?!! More wild applause as Jordan signals across the bullpen to Donnie. We hear the opening strains of “Stars & Stripes Forever” as he opens the door to a COLLEGE MARCHING BAND dressed in underwear and hats. The music continues as somersaulting GYMNASTS and BATON-TWIRLERS bring up the rear. As they march through the bullpen to cheers-- FROM THE KITCHEN -- two dozen TUXEDO-CLAD WAITERS emerge carrying trays of champagne and hors d'oeuvres. The music continues as two dozen STRIPPERS bolt in, gyrating among the BROKERS. As Jordan surveys the insanity: JORDAN (V.O.) Word spread throughout Wall Street -- I was becoming a legend. Forbes Magazine even called to do a profile on me... 60 SCENES 60 - 67 OMITTED 60 The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 29. 68 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT II - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY 68 (SEP ‘91) Jordan finishes up an interview with a FEMALE FORBES REPORTER - ALIYAH FARRAN. They shake hands, then he smiles for the camera - CLICK! JORDAN (V.O.) A total f**ing hatchet job. 69 INT. JORDAN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - MORNING 69 (OCT ‘91) A gorgeous place; city views. As Teresa sits nearby, a distraught Jordan paces, holding the copy of Forbes. JORDAN That conniving little twat! (reading) “The Wolf of Wall Street”. TERESA (on the bright side) Your hair looks good. JORDAN “Jordan Belfort, a twisted version of Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers”. TERESA There's no such thing as bad publicity, sweetie. 70 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT II - BULLPEN - LATER THAT DAY 70 Bustling with activity. Jordan enters, crosses toward his office. Off to the side of the bullpen, he notices three dozen YOUNG MEN in business suits. He approaches his a**istant JANET, 20s, dressed all in black. JORDAN The hell's all this? JANET The Forbes article. They're applying for jobs. They spot Jordan, start clamoring, waving their resumes. JOB APPLICANTS Mr. Belfort! Over here! Sir! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 30. JORDAN (V.O.) Forbes had made me a superstar. Every day dozens of money-crazed kids beat a path to my door with resumes they hadn't even bothered to spellcheck. Jordan crosses through the packed bullpen, where 150 BROKERS, no older than 22, are crammed elbow to elbow talking into phones. Some have pets, which they tend to while they work -- iguanas, snakes, turtles, even a chimp. Others are getting shoulder rubs by Ma**euses or being fitted for suits by a TAILOR. Over the above: JORDAN (V.O.) If we hired ‘em, they dropped out of college overnight and blew whatever allowance they had on a new suit from our in-house tailor. The median age of our brokerage couldn't get served in the bar down the street. 71 INT. FBI BREAK ROOM - DAY (OCT ‘91) 71 PATRICK DENHAM sits sipping coffee as he reads Forbes. JORDAN (V.O.) Not this guy though -- what the f** is he even doing here? He read the Forbes article, too, but he already had a job. 72 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - DAY (MAR ‘92) 72 CLOSE ON two BROKERS wrestling while others cheer them on. PULL BACK to reveal the place from the opening. 300 young Brokers and their hot ASSISTANTS work the phones. JORDAN (V.O.) Within months, we doubled in size, moved to even bigger offices. Two other Brokers pump themselves up, chest-bumping and screaming like football players. JORDAN (V.O.) It was a madhouse, a greed-fest, with equal parts c**aine, testosterone and body fluids. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 31. 73 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - MEN'S ROOM - DAY (MAR ‘92) 73 In a stall, two Brokers snort coke, while another Broker f**s a Sales Assistant perched on the sink. JORDAN (V.O.) I had to declare the office a f**-free zone between the hours of 9 and 7, but even that didn't help. Taped to the mirror we see a MEMO -- inside a red circle, two anatomically correct stick figures f** doggy-style, a red line slashing through them. JORDAN (V.O.) Actually the madness started on our very first day, when one of our brokers, Ben Jenner, christened the elevator by getting a bl**job from a sales a**istant. 74 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - LOBBY - DAY (JAN ‘92) 74 Two dozen Brokers cheer, watching through the rising gla** elevator as BEN JENNER, 25, gets a bl**job from a brunette SALES ASSISTANT. * JORDAN (V.O.) Her name was Pam and to her credit, she did have an amazing technique, with this wild twist and jerk motion. 75 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY 75 (FEB ‘92) As Pam blows Jordan, Donnie f**s her from behind. JORDAN (V.O.) Eventually Ben married her, which was pretty amazing considering she blew every guy in the office. 75A INSERT POLAROID - (JUN ‘92) 75A A wedding photo of Ben and Pam. JORDAN (V.O.) He got depressed and k**ed himself three years later. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 32. 75B INSERT POLAROID - (JUN ‘95) 75B A crime scene photo; Ben in his underwear, dead on a bathroom floor, a gun near his head, which oozes blood. JORDAN (V.O.) Anyway, in an attempt to maintain order, I hired my dad Max as defacto CFO and head of the Gestapo. 75C INT. JORDAN'S PARENTS' APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 75C MAX BELFORT sits smoking, watching a rerun of “The Equalizer” on TV. His wife, LEAH, does needlepoint. JORDAN (V.O.) We called him Mad Max because of his hair-trigger temper, which could be set off by something as innocuous as a ringing telephone. The phone RINGS. MAX Who the hell has the goddamn gall to call this house on a Tuesday evening! Goddammit! JORDAN (V.O.) But then the weirdest thing would happen. Though he'd never been near England, he'd pick up the phone and affect an ever-so-slight British accent. Greatly agitated, Max stomps toward the phone. JORDAN (V.O.) This was his other persona -- the super polite, ever-gracious Sir Max. MAX (into phone) Hello?... Yes, Gene, right-eo. Good-good then... Cheerio. JORDAN (V.O.) It was absolutely bizarre. He'd hang up... MAX (hangs up phone) Goddamn f**ing halfwit! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 33. JORDAN (V.O.) And become Mad Max all over again. Max curses a blue streak as he stomps back to his chair. 76 SCENE 76 OMITTED 76 77 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY 77 (MAR ‘92) Holding a HEADSHOT of the Dwarf from the opening, Jordan sits talking with Donnie, Robbie and Rugrat. JORDAN What if he gets hurt? ROBBIE * He'll be wearing a helmet. Plus they've got, like, superhuman strength anyway. DONNIE * I did hear you're not supposed to * make direct eye contact. If you * look at them too long in their * eyes they get freaked out - their * wires cross. * JORDAN * I think there's a limit to how far * we can go... I mean we can throw * sh** at him and - * DONNIE * They have a lot of feelings. * JORDAN * There's a specific thing that * they'll do - You can throw him at * a dart board but if you want him * to show his co*k or - * ROBBIE * Yes, that's what this guy does. * RUGRAT * That's his gift. * ROBBIE * Can we also bowl with him? * RUGRAT * His brother is actually the * bowler. * The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 34. ROBBIE * They strap a skateboard to him and * throw him down an alley. * RUGRAT * They're ornery, too, the little pricks. You gotta be careful. JORDAN Get some tranq darts. DONNIE A little straitjacket. * JORDAN * What's the liability on something * like this? RUGRAT * That's a whole different thing. I * can get on the phone with some * people. I can talk to the * insurance company and tell them * exactly what we're going to do. * But I think we go back to the same * plan - loophole - if we don't * really consider them people I * think we are in the clear. * DONNIE * I think we should keep one in the * office because I think they're * good luck. * JORDAN * Treat it like the f**in' thing it * is. He's coming in. We're paying * him for something. Treat him with * respect. And you just shake his * hand like you don't even think * anything's wrong. * DONNIE * You just look like something else * is going on. * RUGRAT * You don't look at his eyes. * DONNIE * Say “thank you for being here”. * ROBBIE * You don't turn your back on him. * It's a sign of disrespect. * The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 35. DONNIE * If you want a cracker or something * - I'm gonna have some treats in my * pocket. I want to be in a strip * club with you guys. Literally pull * out a brief case and have a little * f**in' guy pop out of there. You * know how much f**in' p**y you * get? * JORDAN * The point is get it out. * DONNIE * Get the jokes out now. Get the * f**in' jokes out now. * JORDAN * You're gonna f** it up. Purge all * this sh** right now. * DONNIE * That's what I'm saying - * JORDAN * When he comes in the room, I want * him to feel like a human being - * DONNIE * Business. Business. It's f**in' * business, bro. * JORDAN * I want him to feel just like a * normal human being. Cause you know * - like one of us. One of us. * DONNIE * Like he's an actual human being. * One of us. * JORDAN * Gobble, gobble we accept you, one * of us! One of us! * ALL * One of us. * Janet pokes her head in. * JANET Your dad's coming. With the American Express bill. JORDAN Can you stop him? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 36. JANET f** you, you stop him. The guys straighten up and head to desk, settle in. Max * blows in past her, waving a 3-inch-thick bill: MAX $430,000 dollars in one month!! Four-hundred-and-thirty-thousand dollars in one month!! JORDAN Hello, Father. * (Max's expression doesn't budge) They're business expenses. Just * relax. * The guys titter at “business expenses.” MAX If you ba*tards don't wipe those smug f**ing looks off your faces, I swear to God I'm gonna wipe ‘em off for you! (back to Jordan) Are you insane? ROBBIE * Actually, Max, my portion of the bill is hardly anything, so I'm on the same page as you -- MAX Shut the f** up, Feinberg, you only have a portion because of my son, you worthless twerp! DONNIE (chuckles) Twerp. MAX You zip it, too, Azoff, those boiling teeth of yours are hurting my f**ing eyes! (turning to Jordan) My own son! From my very loins! What do you think this is? * JORDAN Will you calm down -- MAX You don't think there's any end in sight, do you? It's all one giant party to you schmendricks! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 37. MAX (CONT'D) (holds up AMEX bill) $26,000 for one dinner!! JORDAN Donnie ordered sides. DONNIE Yeah, that was... Sorry. MAX (glowering) What is EJ Entertainment? What is EJ Entertainment?! JORDAN (restraining a grin) You tell me, Dad. MAX It's a goddamn prostitution ring is what it is!! Jordan feigns shock, turns to Donnie: did you know it was a prostitution ring?! DONNIE Doesn't the IRS allow for T&A? MAX It's T&E and stop f**ing with me! What kind of hookers take credit cards, anyway?! Jordan takes the bill, starts flipping through it. JORDAN (V.O.) In Stratton parlance, there were three kinds of hookers. There were blue chips, the top of the line. Model material. They were priced between $300 and $500 and made you wear a condom unless you gave them a hefty tip, which I always did. 77A A “BLUE CHIP” HOOKER FLOATS THROUGH, SURROUNDED BY *77A STRATTON BROKERS. * JORDAN (V.O.) Then came NASDAQs, who were pretty, but not great, usually in the two to three hundred dollar range. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 38. 77B A “NASDAQ” HOOKER DANCES THROUGH BULLPEN. STRATTON *77B BROKERS WATCH. * JORDAN (V.O.) Finally there were pink sheets, skanks, the bottom of the barrel. 77C A “PINK SHEET” HOOKER, COVERED IN TATTOOS, IS ON ALL *77C FOURS AS SEA OTTER RIDES HER LIKE A PONY. * JORDAN (V.O.) They usually cost a hundred or less, and if you didn't wear a condom, you'd get a penicillin shot the next day and pray your dick didn't fall off. 77D THE ABOVE-MENTIONED “PINK SHEET” HOOKER SITS ON A STOOL, *77D AS SEA OTTER fu*kS HER. * JORDAN (V.O.) Not that we didn't f** them, too. Believe me, we did. Behind him, the other guys wait their turns. * 77E BACK TO SCENE 77E Max continues to steam so Jordan ushers Robbie, Rugrat and Donnie out the door. JORDAN Give us a minute, will you, guys? He closes the door, then stretches a bit, exaggeratedly, letting out a little moan. MAX What's the matter? JORDAN Nothing, just... My back's been k**ing me. Pain shooting down my leg. Not to worry, it'll pa**. MAX What do the doctors say? JORDAN Doctors, what do they know? I'm on like twenty different medications. (re: the Amex bill) Look, I know it's hard for you to make sense of these expenses, but there's a method here, okay? * The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 39. Max waits to hear it; Jordan gestures to the bullpen * MAX And you have to lead by example, is that it? (Jordan nods) I'm tellin' ya, kid, one of these days... one of these days the chickens are gonna come home to * roost. JORDAN * In order to keep these guys * working, I gotta keep ‘em * spending. I need to keep them * chasing the dream. You flash some * cash, they do the same. It keeps * them motivated. * MAX * Pissing away money? That's what * motivates you kids? * JORDAN * I could afford to pay them more, * but then they wouldn't need me as * much. And as long as they need me * they'll always fear me. I know it * sounds crazy. * MAX * Crazy? This... is obscene. * He turns and exits. Jordan watches him go, thinking. JORDAN (V.O.) It was obscene -- in the normal world. But who wanted to live there? 78 EXT. BEACH HOUSE - SOUTH HAMPTON - DAY (JUN ‘92) 78 Ma**ive, with an Olympic-size pool overlooking the beach. Dozens of luxury cars parked outside. On a balcony, Jordan is mid-speech, in a bathing suit, addressing the Strattonites below, Teresa at his side. JORDAN (O.C.) -- so enjoy yourselves, you all deserve a celebration. ‘Cept for Kimmie, she's lazy and she steals. * (off laughter, Kimmie * flips him the bird; he blows her a kiss) But, everybody, keep this in mind. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 40. JORDAN (O.C.) (CONT'D) As my friend Donnie Azoff says, “If you wanna party with the boys, you gotta wake up with the men.” Monday morning I want you all looking razor-sharp. Cuz Stratton's got a few things on the horizon, things that're gonna take it right up into the f**ing stratosphere! The Crowd goes nuts. One Broker lets loose a wolf-howl, and the crowd toasts Jordan, chanting his name. CROWD Jor-dan! Jor-dan! Jor-dan! As Jordan looks down smiling like a benevolent dictator -- JORDAN (PRE-LAP) f** Merrill Lynch, this way we become the underwriters. ROBBIE (PRE-LAP) * Like an investment bank. 79 INT. BEACH HOUSE - SOUTH HAMPTON - (LATER THAT) DAY 79 GORGEOUS PEOPLE dance/drink/snort coke. Upstairs, Jordan plays pool with Sea Otter, Donnie, Robbie, Toby and Rugrat, a**igning ludes with every pocketed ball. JORDAN Exactly. We do our own IPO's and we will print money. SEA OTTER Eat like a bird, sh** like an elephant, baby! JORDAN They can take their Harvard a**es under our desks and s** our co*ks. (to Rugrat) How soon can you get the paperwork filed? RUGRAT (super-stoned) Can't we talk about this Monday? JORDAN It's a simple f**ing question. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 41. RUGRAT Except I'm looking at three of you right now. ROBBIE * We've got Arncliffe National, they're looking to go public, we've got -- DONNIE (very luded) Oh, oh, Steve... Steve... JORDAN What? DONNIE ...Steve... M-m-madden... Donnie gesticulates wildly. The guys crack up. WE PUSH IN ON Donnie, practically drooling, as Jordan gives us a quick tutorial on ludes... 79A QUAALUDE TUTORIAL *79A CUT TO: Extreme close up of guys doing d**. * JORDAN (V.O.) The quaalude was first synthesized in 1951 by an Indian doctor --that's dot Indian, not feathers --as a sedative, and was prescribed to stressed housewives with sleep disorders. Pretty soon someone figured out that if you resisted the urge to sleep for fifteen minutes, you got a pretty kick-a** high from it. Didn't take long for people to start abusing ludes, ‘course, and in 1982 the U.S. Government Schedule One'd them, along with the rest of the world. Which meant there was only a finite amount of these things left. No sh**, you can't even find ‘em anymore today. You people're all sh** outta luck. 79B BACK TO SCENE *79B JORDAN (to Donnie) What're you saying, buddy? (to the others) Shhhh... listen to him... The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 42. DONNIE Ssshhhhoes... shhhoooess... Jordan suspects Donnie may actually be onto something. But just then... SEA OTTER Holy f**. Jordan peers over the balcony where Sea Otter's looking. NAOMI LAPAGLIA. 22, the hottest blonde ever, has entered the party with her date BLAIR. She smiles, full lips parting over perfect white teeth, a ridiculously short dress barely covering her long tan legs and full breasts. RUGRAT My nutsack's about to explode. ROBBIE * Someone's gotta take that down. There's no debate who that someone should be. Eyes locked on Naomi, Jordan makes his way downstairs. WITH NAOMI taking in the party, her eyes flitting to things: art, chandeliers, crystal, etc. NAOMI (V.O.) A lotta people would look at me and think: “golddigger, she's out to land the richest husband she can.” But you see, I came from nothing. Like, below the poverty line. And when you come from nothing, being rich means never having to go back to that. Jordan approaches CRISTY, 20s, one of his guests. CRISTY Jordan, hey. (he smiles; Cristy picks up his intent) Have you met my friend Naomi? Jordan takes Naomi's hand, doesn't let go. JORDAN Naomi. NAOMI You have an awesome house. I don't think I've ever been in a house like this. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 43. JORDAN You like it? I just got it. I guess it's okay. Six bedrooms, two hot-tubs, one off the master suite overlooking the water. You like to jet-ski? Naomi's date Blair offers his hand to break them apart. Toby Welch lurks behind him, giving him the evil-eye. BLAIR Hi. Blair Hollingsworth. Jordan barely acknowledges him, focused on Naomi. Outside, HILDY AZOFF chats with Teresa. Her eyes stray to Jordan chatting up Naomi. Teresa's eyes follow hers and sees them. Ouch. Hildy goes. JORDAN You're telling me you've never jet-ski'ed in your life?! NAOMI Never. BLAIR Y'know, we really should hit it, there's two other parties we're s'posed to get to -- JORDAN What? You just got here. Stay. Naomi looks like she'd like to. Hildy approaches, introduces herself, then: HILDY Jordan, Teresa needs your help. JORDAN With what? HILDY I dunno, you'll have to ask your wife what she wants. Jordan sees: Teresa is watching from afar. DONNIE(O.S.) Oh sweet Jesus! Jordan turns to see a drunk Donnie, co*k in hand, jerking off to Naomi. Hildy comes running over. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 44. Donnie! doing?! HILDY What the f** are you During the melee that follows -- Hildy admonishing Donnie, Blair removing Naomi from the party -- JORDAN (V.O.) The day I met Naomi was the day I truly became the Wolf. Every guy wanted her -- so I had to have her. -- Jordan watches her go. Naomi shoots a glance back to him and, like that, he's hooked. 80 SCENES 80 - 81 OMITTED 80 82 INT. SIGN OF THE DOVE - MANHATTAN - NIGHT (JUN ‘92) 82 Romantic; elegant. Over a bottle of ‘53 Lafite, Jordan sits in mid conversation with Naomi, who is stunning in a low-cut black co*ktail dress. Bay Ridge. Island? JORDAN That's near Staten NAOMI Brooklyn, across the Verrazano Bridge. Guinea gulch. Ever been? JORDAN You're Italian? NAOMI My dad's side. Also Dutch, German, English -- I'm a mutt. Actually I have family over there, in London. My Aunt Emma. JORDAN That explains it then. NAOMI What? JORDAN (smiles) You're a Duchess. The Duchess of Bay Ridge. Naomi smiles, flags a pa**ing WAITER. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 45. NAOMI Could I have a straw please? The Waiter nods, heads off. A few beats, then: NAOMI (CONT'D) So I was a little surprised you asked Cristy for my number. JORDAN How come? NAOMI Aren't you married? JORDAN Married people can't have friends? Naomi smiles. The Waiter brings the straw. She opens it, slips it in her red wine gla**. Off Jordan's look: NAOMI So I don't stain my teeth. And as she sips the wine seductively through the straw... 83 EXT. BROOKLYN BRIDGE - NIGHT 83 Jordan's Ferrari makes its way over the bridge, heading back toward Brooklyn. NAOMI (O.S.) --then at night I do my designs. 84 INT. JORDAN'S FERRARI - CONTINUOUS 84 Jordan drives, Naomi next to him. NAOMI An entire line of lingerie --camisoles, bustiers, panties. Jordan glances over -- her dress is riding up her thigh. JORDAN (V.O.) She designs panties?! Jesus f**ing Christ! Naomi smiles. JORDAN Sounds like something I might invest in. Venture capital. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 46. NAOMI Well we should definitely keep in touch, then. JORDAN Absolutely. He pulls over outside her brownstone. NAOMI That's me. JORDAN (V.O.) Think, Jordan, think! How can you get up to her apartment?! They look at each other. We can almost hear Jordan's heart pounding. NAOMI You wanna come up for some tea? 85 INT. NAOMI'S APARTMENT - NIGHT 85 A small, cozy apartment. Naomi enters, Jordan close behind. She picks up Rocky, her yapping Maltese. NAOMI Say hi, Rocky. Naomi waves Rocky's paw. Jordan smiles. NAOMI (CONT'D) Why don't you light a fire? I'll be right out. Jordan nods, takes in her scent as she walks away. JORDAN (V.O.) God, please help me. How can I f** this girl? As he crouches by the fireplace, his skypager vibrates. He checks the readout: “Teresa”. His face falls as he hits the “silent” bu*ton, mind racing with guilt. JORDAN (V.O.) That's it, you're leaving. You're going home to your wife. Jordan stands, turns around -- NAOMI is in the doorway, naked except for high heels. JORDAN (V.O.) As you can probably guess, I f**ed her goddamn brains out. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 47. 86 INT. NAOMI'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 86 Rocky yaps incessantly as Jordan pounds away atop Naomi. JORDAN (V.O.) For eleven seconds. Jordan cums loudly, convulsively. JORDAN I'm sorry, I-- NAOMI Did you cum? JORDAN (nods; gasping) Yeah, but I'm still hard. Jordan looks down at her. JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D) Being inside her... was like your co*k went to heaven and God himself was cupping your balls. And as they start f**ing again... 87 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY 87 (JUN ‘92) Jordan sits at his desk, telephone to his ear. JORDAN (V.O.) I couldn't get enough. 88 INT. NAOMI'S APARTMENT - DAY (JUN ‘92) 88 CLOSE ON Naomi, who talks on the phone, smiling. We PULL BACK to see the apartment is packed with flowers. JORDAN (V.O.) Every chance we got, we'd sneak off together... 89 INT. LIMOSINE - NIGHT (AUG ‘92) 89 Giggling like a child, Jordan pours coke from a vial, creating a little mound atop one of Naomi's breasts. JORDAN Hold still, don't move. (to the Driver) Watch the potholes! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 48. More giggling, then he snorts the coke off her breast, burying his face in it as he climbs on top of her. Naomi laughs uncontrollably as the limo glides to a stop. The door opens from outside -- the Doorman? TERESA (O.S.) Get out of the f**ing car. Jordan looks up, locks eyes with Teresa. He jumps off Naomi, stumbles out, closing the door behind himself. 90 EXT. JORDAN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT BUILDING - CONTINUOUS 90 JORDAN What are you doing home? TERESA That who*e from the party? How could you do this to me?! The limo takes off. Teresa starts crying... JORDAN I thought you were at the beach house, I-- TERESA I married you when you had nothing-- JORDAN Teresa... I don't know what to say. TERESA You're like a totally different person. JORDAN I'm not. I'm sorry. I made a mistake, okay? TERESA Tell me you don't love her. JORDAN I... TERESA (off his silence) Jordan? Jordan says nothing. Finally, Teresa starts sobbing. JORDAN (V.O.) I felt horrible. Jordan holds her, letting her cry. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 49. JORDAN (V.O.) Three days later I filed for divorce and moved Naomi into the apartment. 91 INT. JORDAN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT - DINING ROOM - DUSK 91 (SEP ‘92) Completely remodelled, all new furniture. Jordan and Naomi sit at the table, set for a candle-light dinner. JORDAN (V.O.) Say what you will, but the Duchess did have style. She brought in a decorator, feng shui'd the place--she even hired a gay butler. NICHOLAS THE BUTLER, 40s, enters with hot towels on a silver tray. JORDAN Thank you, Nicholas. Jordan takes a towel, wipes his face. Naomi smiles. JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D) He was smart, sophisticated, really great. Except for that one time... 92 SCENES 92 - 94 OMITTED *92 95 INT. JORDAN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT *95 A GAY ORGY is in progress, a dozen naked MEN, including Nicholas, in various s**ual positions about the room. NAOMI Omigod! 96 INT. JORDAN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 96 Jordan sits across from a very shaken Naomi. NAOMI He must have thought I was at my mother's. JORDAN Where were they? In the bedroom? NAOMI They were right here! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 50. A beat, then Jordan realizes. He jumps off the couch like it's on fire. NAOMI (CONT'D) It gets worse. After I chased them out, I checked the apartment. JORDAN (V.O.) The motherf**er stole fifty grand in cash and j**elry. 97 INT. JORDAN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT - LIBRARY - DAY 97 (OCT ‘92) With Nicholas seated in a chair, Jordan sits across from him. Pacing behind him is Donnie, coked-up, face contorted, frothing with rage. Nearby, giant Chester Ming sits quietly, saying nothing. JORDAN I just want my stuff back, okay? NICHOLAS THE BUTLER I didn't take anything. DONNIE (in his face) I should k** you, co*ks**er! You do not f** with this man! Jordan holds Donnie off. Turns back to Nicholas. JORDAN You were high, things got out of control, I get it. Believe me I do, I have a Phd in debauchery. NICHOLAS THE BUTLER I didn't do it. DONNIE I'll knock your f**in' teeth out, motherf**er! JORDAN Just give me the money, give me the j**elry, and we'll forget the whole thing. NICHOLAS THE BUTLER It's because I'm gay, isn't it? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 51. JORDAN Nicholas. You could f** a baby sheep as far as I care, on my brand new f**ing sofa. What I won't stand for is being robbed. NICHOLAS THE BUTLER I'm telling you the truth. JORDAN I'll ask you one last time. DONNIE You're dead, you piece of sh**! NICHOLAS THE BUTLER Jordan, please. JORDAN Fine. Jordan nods to Chester. Without a word, he crosses to Nicholas and BAMMM!! Nicholas's nose splits open like a ripe plum, blood spurting everywhere. Tough-guy Donnie takes one look, then SPEWS vomit into a garbage pail. And as Chester pummels Nicholas's face into chopped meat... JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D) It's amazing the kind of loyalty money will buy. I mean Chester almost k**ed this prick. Chester starts to hang Nicholas over the balcony by his legs. Jordan stops him. JORDAN (V.O.) I finally called the cops, mainly to save Nicholas's life. 98 INT. JORDAN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT - FOYER - DAY 98 With the bloodied Nicholas in the background, Jordan talks to two NYPD COPS, handing them each a wad of cash. JORDAN (V.O.) I gave them each a thousand bucks and told them what Nicholas had done. Then they kicked his a**. As the Cops swat Nicholas with their nightsticks: COP #1 f**in' thief, huh? COP #2 Piece of sh**. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 52. And as they hustle Nicholas out... JORDAN (V.O.) Loyalty, like I said. Which was the key component to my incredible f**ing success. 98A EXT. GOLF COURSE - DAY (OCT ‘92) 98A As Jordan golfs with Donnie, Chester, Robbie, Toby and * some hookers, Brad pulls up in a golf cart with a cash- * filled gym bag. JORDAN (V.O.) Besides Brad, I had eight other ‘ratholes', close friends who'd own stock on paper, but kick the profits back to me after I drove the price through the roof. They hug, then Jordan adds the gym bag to several others on the back of his golf cart. Donnie tries to befriend Brad; Brad isn't interested. JORDAN (V.O.) The SEC knew I was doing something shady, but they couldn't figure out what the f** it was. 99 SCENES 99 - 100 OMITTED 99 101 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - (ANOTHER) DAY 101 Jordan, Max and securities lawyer MANNY RISKIN exit the kitchen with coffees. MANNY RISKIN I'm telling you -- piss on the SEC's leg, you'll end up with your tits in a ringer. FREEZE FRAME - Manny stuffs a cruller into his mouth. JORDAN (V.O.) My securities attorney, Manny Riskin. Seven hundred an hour to * be the voice of doom. BACK TO SCENE JORDAN It's under control. Will you relax already? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 53. Just then, Max spots a BROKER break-dancing as three other Brokers look on... MAX What the f** is this imbecile doing?! Max crosses off, starts screaming at the break-dancing Broker. Jordan keeps walking with Manny. JORDAN (V.O.) The SEC sent two lawyers down to review our files, so I set them up in our conference room. Jordan pa**es the conference room, looks in the window--two SEC ATTORNEYS wear coats as they review documents. JORDAN (V.O.) Then I had it bugged and the air conditioning locked till it felt like Antarctica in there. One of the SEC Attorneys blows into his hands for warmth. Manny follows Jordan toward the bullpen, his frenzied Brokers working the phones. JORDAN (V.O.) So here they were, looking for a smoking gun while I was firing a bazooka right under their noses. It was our first IPO, and we were driving the stock price to the f**ing moon. BROKER #1 Arncliffe National, it's on fire! BROKER #2 (voice lowered) Believe me, your grandkids will thank you. BROKER #3 (to Sales Assistant) Arncliffe National, ten thousand shares! Jordan speaks directly to camera as he continues walking through the bullpen. JORDAN See an IPO is an initial public offering, the first time a stock is offered for sale to the general population. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 54. JORDAN (CONT'D) As the firm taking the company public, we set the initial price, then sold those shares back to -- * (stops; then) You know what, you're probably not * following what I'm saying. The * question is, “was it legal?” * Absolutely not. But we were making * more money that we knew what to do * with. * 102 SCENE 102 OMITTED 102 102A EXT.

BANK - SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT - DAY (OCT ‘92) 103 Alone in a private room, Jordan unloads a small suitcase filled with stacks and stacks of hundred dollar bills. JORDAN (V.O.) But I figured it out. * CLOSE ON - a huge diamond engagement ring. NAOMI (O.C.) Omigod!! 104 INT. FOUR SEASONS RESTAURANT - NIGHT (OCT ‘92) 104 Jordan is down on one knee, proposing; Naomi hyperventilates as he puts the ring on her finger -- a seven carat, yellow canary diamond in a platinum setting. JORDAN (V.O.) I held my bachelor party at the Tangiers in Las Vegas -- one last * blowout for the Gods before I settled down for good. 105 SCENE 105 OMITTED 105 106 INT. TRANS CAPITAL AIRLINES - JUMBO JET - NIGHT *106 Inside a jumbo jet, a wild, mid-air party is in progress. JORDAN (V.O.) A hundred Strattonites flew in with fifty hookers and enough d** to open a pharmacy. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 55. Various images -- Stratton Brokers drink, do coke, a half-dozen in mid-orgy with Hookers, naked in the aisle as others pour champagne on them. JORDAN (V.O.) All told, the weekend cost me almost two million dollars-- 107 PERIOD VEGAS ADS *107 108 INT. TANGIERS - PRESIDENTIAL SUITE - DAY *108 The Tangiers Presidential Suite is a shambles on the * level of Hiroshima. A giant crystal chandelier lays shattered on the floor; Jordan asleep in the ma**ive bed, a Blue Chip Hooker on either side of him; other pa**ed-out BODIES lay amid debris and broken, toppled furniture. JORDAN (V.O.) But the wedding was like something out of a fairy tale-- 109 EXT. OCEAN CLUB - BAHAMAS - SUNSET (DEC ‘92) 109 Gorgeous; tropical. Hundreds of FAMILY and FRIENDS (Janet, Toby Welch, Peter DeBlasio and Kimmie Belzer) look on as Jordan and Naomi walk up the aisle. JORDAN (V.O.) --with Naomi my Duchess, me her handsome Duke and The Bahamas Ocean Club our castle. 110 INT. OCEAN CLUB - BAHAMAS - BALLROOM - NIGHT 110 Jordan and Naomi waltz, their Guests joining in. JORDAN (V.O.) Of course after that bachelor party, the Duke needed a few penicillin shots so he could safely consummate the marriage. 111 INT. OCEAN CLUB - BAHAMAS - BALLROOM - LATER 111 As Jordan and Naomi mingle with a few Strattonites, videographer BARRY KLEINMAN, 40s, approaches Rugrat and his DATE, ABBY with a video camera: The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 56. BARRY KLEINMAN I'm Barry Kleinman, filming the wedding -- would you like to say something to Jordan and Naomi? RUGRAT / ABBY Good luck! We love you! Across the way, Naomi spots someone through the crowd-- NAOMI Omigod! Aunt Emma! Naomi rushes over, hugs her AUNT EMMA, 50s, demure, British. Naomi turns, calls out to Jordan, who is now in a huddle with the guys, his back to her. NAOMI (CONT'D) Jordan! Look! Jordan turns, then crosses to them, smiling. AUNT EMMA Jordan dear, how lovely. JORDAN It's so nice to see you again. As he leans in to hug her, Aunt Emma spots some white powder on the edge of Jordan's nostril. Deftly, she wipes it off, smiling. AUNT EMMA Into the donuts, I see. JORDAN Oh, I'm--- uh... Aunt Emma leans in to his ear. AUNT EMMA I lived through the 60s, my dear. Enjoy the day. And with that, she turns back to Naomi. 112 EXT. BAHAMAS - MARINA - DAY (DEC ‘92) 112 With Naomi wearing a blindfold, Jordan leads her to the end of a long dock, expensive yachts moored everywhere. JORDAN Careful now. You ready? Jordan removes her blindfold -- there, towering above the others, is a stunning, 120 foot yacht. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 57. NAOMI What is this? JORDAN Your wedding present. Check out the name. She does; it's called “Naomi”. As she squeals, hugs him- JORDAN (V.O.) For three weeks we sailed the Naomi through the Caribbean-- 113 INT. YACHT NAOMI - DAY (DEC ‘92) 113 The camera PUSHES IN past a white-jacketed STEWARD, who opens the door to the yacht's main salon; next we see the living room, with its full bar and leather couches; then the bedroom, with a king bed and monogrammed sheets. JORDAN (V.O.) --eventually taking her home to Long Island, where we'd bought a house. 114 EXT. CARIBBEAN - OPEN OCEAN - DAY (DEC ‘92 - JAN ‘93) 114 The Naomi sails the calm waters, Jordan and Naomi popping ludes, sunbathing blissfully on the deck. JORDAN (V.O.)

JORDAN'S ESTATE - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY (FEB ‘95) 116 Amid billowing piles of white Chinese silk, Jordan sleeps on his back, snoring blissfully. JORDAN (V.O.) It was heaven on earth. On screen WE SEE: 18 MONTHS LATER Splash! A gla** of water hits him in the face. NAOMI Wake up, you bag of sh**! Soaking wet, Jordan sits upright to see Naomi standing over him in a tiny pink chemise, holding an empty gla**. JORDAN The f** are you doing?! NAOMI Who's Venice? JORDAN What?! NAOMI Who is she?! Some little hooker you f**ed last night? JORDAN What? No! Naomi! And as Naomi storms off for a re-fill... 117 INT.

Naomi holds another full gla**, rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet like a fighter. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 59. NAOMI You were calling her name in your sleep! JORDAN I can explain everything. NAOMI Go ahead. More lies from the man who lies for a living! JORDAN No, really. Donnie and me, we're investing in a condo development in Venice. NAOMI Italy?! JORDAN California, baby. NAOMI Yeah, right. JORDAN Duchess, come on. NAOMI Don't ‘Duchess' me, you scumbag. You think I don't know what you're up to? You're a father now and you act like an infant! Splash! She nails him again, crosses for more water. JORDAN f**. Naomi! Why are you so mad? NAOMI Where do you want me to start? How about you flying in here on your stupid helicopter at three in the morning waking up Skylar?! 119 EXT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - YARD - NIGHT (FEB ‘95) 119 Jordan crash-lands the helicopter on the driving range. * He exits, gives Captain Dave a salute, fights his way * through the bushes, then stumbles toward the house and * falls into the pool, stoned out of his skull. Security * floodlights come on and the alarm sounds. * The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 60. NAOMI (O.S.) Does it even matter to you that I just had that driving range sodded with Bermuda gra**? 120 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY (FEB ‘95) 120 Back to scene. Naomi holds another gla** of water. NAOMI But why should you give a sh**? You're not the one who researched the f**ing thing and dealt with the f**ing golf course people! JORDAN You're an aspiring landscape architect?! But what happened to wine connoisseur? Oh wait, that was last month! NAOMI f** you! Naomi winds up with the water gla**. Jordan stands tall, puffs himself up, arms flexed at his sides. NAOMI (CONT'D) Stop flexing your arms, you look like a f**ing imbecile. (re: his crotch) And don't think that impresses me much. Jordan looks down: he has a morning erection. JORDAN I wasn't flexing my arms. You're just lucky to have a husband who's in such great shape. Now get over here and kiss me! NAOMI Kiss you?! Splash! She nails him one last time, then storms out. He stands there dripping wet. To his erection: JORDAN Where the f** were you last night? JORDAN (V.O.) My morning ritual. First I'd get up and fight with Naomi about whatever I did the night before. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 61. 120A INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - STEAM SHOWER - DAY 120A Jordan stands in the steaming shower. JORDAN (V.O.) Next it was a steam so I could sweat out whatever d** were still in my system. 120B INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - MASTER BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS 120B Jordan looks at himself in the mirror. His eyes are bloodshot - he looks like sh**. JORDAN (V.O.) After that I'd a**ess the damage. Jordan looks at a Visine bottle - “Recommended Dosage -Two Drops”. He squirts six drops in each eye. JORDAN (V.O.) What kind of maniac abuses eye drops? 121 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - DRESSING ROOM - DAY (FEB ‘95) 121 Fully dressed and standing amid hundreds of suits, Jordan pops two white pills, swigs some juice. JORDAN (V.O.) Then I'd get dressed, take my “back pills” to get me started, then attempt to make up with her. 122 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - SKYLAR'S ROOM - DAY (FEB ‘95) 122 Jordan enters the tiny pink wonderland. On the fluffy pink carpet is Naomi, now in a minidress hiked above her hips, Manolo Blahniks showing polished red toes. Between her legs sits SKYLAR, their 5-month-old daughter. JORDAN Hey, Skylar. NAOMI (little girl voice) Good morning Daddy. Where's my kiss? Jordan kisses the baby, picks her up. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 62. JORDAN (playing along) Does Daddy get to kiss both his girls? NAOMI Ohhh, no! Daddy doesn't even get to touch Mommy for a very, very long time. Naomi lays back on her elbows, thighs parted - she's wearing no panties. The wind goes out of Jordan. JORDAN C'mon, Nay, please. You know how sorry I am. I swear I-- NAOMI (cutting him off) Daddy shouldn't waste his time. And from now on it's going to be nothing but short, short skirts around the house! And Mommy's so sick and tired of wearing panties, uhhh. In fact she's decided to throw them all away. (parting her thighs) So take a good look. You'll be seeing an awful lot of it around the house, but no touching. She licks her lips seductively. Jordan sets Skylar aside, starts grovelling. NAOMI (CONT'D) What's wrong, Daddy? Naomi slips her index finger in her mouth, starts s**ing it. Jordan can barely speak. JORDAN C'mon, why are you doing this? I said I'm sorry. NAOMI (pouting) Ohhhh poor, poor Dada. He loves to say how wrong he is when he's ready to come in his own pants. Isn't that right Dada? Mommy loves Daddy so, so much and there's nothing she wants to do more right now than to make love to Daddy all day long. Well, I guess it's time for Daddy to be taught his first lesson. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 63. Naomi runs her fingers over her stomach and on to her inner thigh, then up toward her vagina. Jordan watches transfixed, then a change comes over him... JORDAN I wouldn't do that if I were you Mommy. I think Mommy should hear a story before she decides to please herself like that. Can Daddy tell Mommy a story? (off her nod) And does mommy promise to keep her legs spread wide, wide open the whole time? (she nods dreamily) Good. Once upon a time there was a great big mansion in Long Island and the people who lived there had lots and lots of money. But of all the possessions they had, there was one thing that was much more valuable than all the rest combined, and that was their little baby daughter. Naomi listens, legs still spread, hand on her crotch. JORDAN (CONT'D) Now because he was very security-conscious, the Daddy hired two full-time guards, big hairy men both named Rocco, and they installed security cameras all around the house. And one of those cameras is right over Daddy's shoulder. Naomi's eyes widen -- she look toward a Teddy Bear on a shelf. WE SEE that one of the eyes is a pinhole camera. JORDAN (CONT'D) So smile, Mommy! You're on Candid Camera! 123 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - GUARD HOUSE - DAY (FEB ‘95) 123 Mesmerized, ROCCO DAY watches a video screen, on which we see a grainy image of Naomi, hand between her legs. 124 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - SKYLAR'S BEDROOM - DAY (FEB ‘95) 124 Naomi jumps up as if she's been electrocuted. NAOMI You a**hole! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 64. As she bolts from the room, Jordan plays with Skylar... JORDAN (V.O.) The good thing about living with a world-cla** ballbreaker is they make all the other ballbreakers in your life a little easier to take. 125 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - OUTSIDE JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY 125 (FEB ‘95) Donnie stands talking with Jordan's a**istant, Janet. Jordan approaches under a head of steam. DONNIE There he is. JORDAN (a quick hug; then) Steve here yet? DONNIE On his way. Very excited. JORDAN Good. Cuz we have a problem. He indicates out to the Bullpen. Donnie and Janet look. JANET (incredulous) Is he wearing a bow tie? In the Bullpen WE SEE a young Stratton Broker in a bowtie cleaning a small goldfish bowl on his desk. JORDAN He's got nothing better to do on the day of the biggest IPO in this firm's history?! Jordan watches as Donnie marches toward the Broker in a bowtie... 126 INT. BULLPEN - CONTINUOUS 126 DONNIE The f** you doing? BROKER IN A BOWTIE (bewildered) Cleaning my fishbowl. DONNIE Oh. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 65. Donnie nods, turns to go, but suddenly he turns back and thrusts his arm in the bowl, grabbing for the squirming goldfish. The Broker in a bowtie looks on, horrified. DONNIE(CONT'D) On new issue day?! On co*ks**ing, motherf**ing new issue day?! Dozen of Brokers and Sales Assistants look over as Donnie snatches up the fish. Holding it by its tail, he jumps * up on the desk of the Broker in a bowtie. Now the entire Bullpen looks over. DONNIE(CONT'D) This is what happens when you f** with your pets on new issue day! With the flair of a showman, Donnie pops the fish in his mouth, swallowing it whole. The Brokers cheer wildly. Donnie jumps down, gets in the face of the Broker in a bowtie: DONNIE(CONT'D) Now take your bowtie, get your sh** and get the f** out! Bowtie is stunned. And as Donnie storms off, we PUSH IN on Jordan, watching from across the room. 127 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY 127 (FEB ‘95) Jordan finishes a phone call as Donnie enters with STEVE MADDEN, 30s, dressed in wrinkled navy blazer, cargo pants and T-shirt, a baseball cap over his scraggly, thinning hair. Jordan smiles, crosses to greet him. The Cobbler. Hey buddy. JORDAN Ready to get rich? STEVE MADDEN And as they ad lib greetings, settle in at the couch: JORDAN (V.O.) Steve Madden, the shoe designer, was a childhood friend of Donnie's, but I didn't hold that against him. Remember those ads, those giant-headed girls with bug eyes wearing those big clunky shoes? 127A INSERT - a quick series of Steve Madden ads. 127A The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 66. JORDAN (V.O.) He came to me a few years earlier when he was just starting out, so I became a silent partner in his company, buying an 85% stake for only a million bucks. 128 INT. STEVE MADDEN SHOES - DAY 128 WE SEE various stores, all packed with teenage GIRLS buying shoes and boots. JORDAN (V.O.) The company blew up and we were now taking it public. It was the biggest deal we'd ever done and the hottest IPO on Wall Street. 129 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY 129 (FEB ‘95) Jordan and Donnie sit with Steve Madden in mid-conversation. DONNIE --which is why they need to meet you. JORDAN You gotta get ‘em fired up so they'll push the sh** out of this stock. DONNIE Let them feel your pa**ion. 130 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - DAY (FEB ‘95) 130 Bustling with activity. With Jordan and Donnie looking on from nearby, Steve Madden approaches a microphone on the raised platform, in his hands several shoe boxes. STEVE MADDEN (into mic) Uhhh... excuse me... The place slowly comes to order. STEVE MADDEN (CONT'D) For those of you who don't know me, my name is Steve Madden. I'm -- ONE BROKER We know who you are! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 67. Steve clears his throat, looks over at Jordan -- he's terrified. Jordan motions for him to calm down. STEVE MADDEN I uh, I'd like to start by telling you about my background in the shoe industry. ANOTHER BROKER Nice f**ing hat! STEVE MADDEN I uh... first started working in the shoe industry, in a shoe store. When I was sixteen, my friends were out chasing girls, but I was learning about women's shoes. KALIL Move the mike closer. PETER DEBLASIO We can't f**ing hear you! * He moves the mic; feedback SCREECHES through the bullpen. STEVE MADDEN (CONT'D) Sorry... Anyway, my first job was at a shoe store like I said where I worked in the stockroom. You know, I can honestly say I've been a lover of women's shoes since I was twelve-- BROKER #4 Freak! STEVE MADDEN No. Heh-heh. Not like that. I mean somehow I became fascinated with the endless design possibilities for women's shoes-- BROKER #5 Queer! BROKER #6 Get a f**ing life! Boos, hisses. Steve looks at Jordan, who motions for him to speed up. He grabs a shoe from one of the boxes. STEVE MADDEN (CONT'D) This shoe -- the Mary Lou -- is the one that really put me on the map. It's a black patent leather variation of the Mary Jane, but-- SPLAT! A half-eaten grapefruit lands at Steve's feet. In a flash, Jordan rushes over, grabs the mic-- The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 68. JORDAN All right, let's hear it for Steve Madden and the wonderful Mary Lou! Huge applause, with stomping feet; howling, etc. JORDAN (CONT'D) Okay, now that you got that out of your system, I want you to know why Steve is so completely off the f**ing wall... It's because this man is a creative genius. Steve's power, his gift -- is that he creates trends. Artists like Steve come along once a century! Elvis! Andy Warhol! Giorgio Armani! Who knows how high this stock could go? The 20s? The 50s? The 80s? Applause; war whoops. Jordan motions for quiet. JORDAN (CONT'D) I want everybody to look down. See that little black box in front of you? It's called a telephone. Now I'm gonna let you in on a little secret about this telephone -- it won't dial itself! That's right -- until you take some action, it's nothing more than a worthless hunk of plastic, like a loaded M16 without a trained Marine to pull the trigger. And in the case of the telephone, it's the action of you, a highly trained Strattonite, a k**er who will not take no for an answer! A person who will not hang up the phone until his client either buys or f**ing dies! The Brokers go crazy. Jordan looks around. JORDAN (CONT'D) I don't care if you graduated from Harvard or Bumf** University or never got past fourth f**ing grade! That phone is the great equalizer! (pause; looks around) There is no nobility in poverty. I've been rich, and I've been poor and I choose rich every time. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 69. JORDAN (CONT'D) At least as a rich man, when I have to face my problems, I show up in the back of a limo wearing a $2000 suit and $40,000 gold watch! Jordan takes off his GOLD WATCH, flings it to the Crowd. Brokers go nuts, fighting over it like a home-run ball. JORDAN (CONT'D) And if anyone here thinks I'm crazy, get the f** out and get a job at McDonald's, because that's where you f**ing belong! But before you depart this room full of winners, I want you to take a good look at the person next to you, because one day in the not-so-distant future, you'll be sitting at a red light in your beat-up old Pinto, and that person's gonna pull up in a brand new Porsche, with their gorgeous young wife at their side. And who will you be next to? Some ugly beast with three days of razor-stubble in a sleeveless moo-moo, crammed in next to you with a carload of groceries from the f**ing Price Club! He scans the Brokers; they're on the edge of their seats. JORDAN (CONT'D) So you listen to me and listen carefully. Are you behind on your credit card bills? Good. Pick up the phone and start dialing. Is your landlord threatening to evict you? Good. Pick up the phone and start dialing. Does your girlfriend think you're a f**ing loser? Pick up the phone and start f**ing dialing! I want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich! I want you to go out and spend money! Leverage yourself, back yourself into a corner, let the consequences of failure become so f**ing unthinkable that you'll have no choice but to do whatever it takes to win! The Brokers go absolutely APEsh*t. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 70. JORDAN (CONT'D) You have an obligation here, people! To your clients! To this firm! An obligation to yourself, godammit! You ram Steve Madden stock down your clients' throats and make them choke on it till they buy 20,000 shares! Be aggressive! Be ferocious! Be telephone f**ing terrorists!! Before Jordan is even finished, the Brokers GO BERSERK, some already dialing their phones. JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D) At 1 p.m. we opened the stock for sale at $4.50 a share. By 1:03 it was over eighteen dollars. 130A INT. FBI OFFICES - MANHATTAN - DAY 130A Agent Denham exits the elevator, arriving for work. He strides between cubicles, briefcase in hand. He enters -- 130B INT. AGENT DENHAM'S OFFICE - DAY 130B -- where pinned up on one wall is a ma**ive chart on Stratton's operations: pictures of Jordan, Donnie and others, a hierarchy, a history, an investigation... 131 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - LATER (FEB ‘95) 131 Total sales frenzy. The CAMERA PANS the 300 Brokers, who work the phones like mad. SEA OTTER --the hottest new issue on Wall Street! YOUNG BROKER --up two dollars while I'm talking to you! And as we continue PANNING the room... JORDAN (V.O.) Of course I couldn't have done this without help. I'd leaked the word on Wall Street that Stratton was a buyer up until twenty. So not only were we pushing Madden, all the big firms were too. We continue PANNING the frenzied Brokers... The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 71. JORDAN (V.O.) As long as they knew I'd buy the shares back at the top of the market, they'd drive the price up as high as I f**ing wanted. 132 SCENES 132 - 133 OMITTED 132 134 INT. JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY (FEB ‘95) 134 Donnie pours champagne nearby, oblivious to Jordan, who sits at his desk, speaking directly to camera: JORDAN Of the two million shares being offered for sale, a million belonged to me, held in phony accounts by my ratholes. Once the price hit the high teens, I-- Jordan abruptly stops. A beat, then: JORDAN (CONT'D) Like I said before, who gives a sh**? As always, the point is this-- BACK TO SCENE -- Donnie hands Jordan a gla** of Dom. DONNIE 22 million in three f**ing hours! They toast, then each pop ludes, which they wash down with champagne. A quick knock; Janet pops her head in. JORDAN Janet, baby. Drink. Call for you. Future Video? Who? JANET Barry Kleinman from JORDAN JANET He filmed your wedding. He says it's urgent. Curious, Jordan leans over, hits the speaker phone: JORDAN Barry? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 72. 135 INT. FUTURE VIDEO - DAY (FEB ‘95) 135 Barry Kleinman sits at his desk, talking on the phone. BARRY KLEINMAN Jordan, hey. Listen, I got a subpoena. The FBI wants a copy of your wedding video. On Jordan. Uh-oh. JORDAN (V.O.) The F-B-f**ing-I? 135A INT. FIRING RANGE - DAY 135A Wearing goggles and protective headphones, square-jawed FBI Agent Patrick Denham takes target practice. BO DIETL (V.O.) Name's Denham, he's an agent in the New York office. JORDAN (V.O.) What's his problem? BO DIETL (V.O.) He's a boy scout, thinks you're Gordon Gekko. 135B EXT. RAO'S - NIGHT - ESTABLISHING (MAR ‘95) 1*35B 136 INT. RAO'S RESTAURANT - NIGHT (MAR ‘95) 136 The East Harlem institution. Jordan sits across a table over pasta with private investigator BO DIETL, 40s. JORDAN But my goddamn wedding video? BO DIETL Got your whole inner circle in one place, faces and names. He's hoping it rattles you, or maybe your wife, so that she starts nagging you to turn witness. JORDAN (that's laughable) What? He wants me to rat on myself? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 73. BO DIETL (shrugs) Good news is I made some calls, DEA, Justice? No one but him even knows who you are. JORDAN Can you bug him or something, tap his phone? BO DIETL Jordan, relax. First off, you don't f** with these guys, not that way. Secondly, I got a P.I. license, you know? JORDAN Maybe I should call him, see what he wants. BO DIETL No! Anybody does that should be your lawyer. What you do is eat your dinner, drink your drink, and forget about it. Cuz as far as I hear he doesn't have sh**. Jordan nods, wheels turning, pretending to do as told. 136A SCENE 136A OMITTED 1*36A 137 EXT. BATTERY PARK MARINA - DAY (LATE SPRING ‘95) 137 As Agent Denham steps into frame, another FED, AGENT * HUGHES, beside him, both G-man stoic in impenetrably dark * gla**es -- JORDAN (O.S.) Patrick? Hey! C'mon aboard! They look up. On the yacht Naomi, Jordan stands waving, drinking wine with two Blue Chip HOOKERS in bikinis. JORDAN (CONT'D) Plank's right down there. Denham shares a look with his cohort: it's almost a joke, this display of wealth before a federal agent. Moments later, they step aboard. AGENT DENHAM Mr. Belfort, I'm Agent Denham. This is Agent Hughes. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 74. JORDAN Heya! This is Nicole and, um...Heidi. Girls, Patrick and...? AGENT DENHAM Agents Denham and Hughes. Your message said you wanted to speak privately. JORDAN It did. I do. (off Denham's stare) Oh, they're just friends. (to the girls) Give us a minute, okay? The Hookers head below deck. Jordan shoots Denham a wink--check out that a**! JORDAN (CONT'D) Can I get a gla**? Got wine open or any kinda booze. Shrimp and lobster're over there if you're hungry. AGENT DENHAM Bureau forbids us from drinking at sea. Jordan surprised: the guy has a sense of humor. JORDAN I have something for you, I just gotta find it. Have a seat, will ya? Ever been on one of these before? As Jordan rifles through some papers, Denham's eyes scan the deck, casually cataloguing everything. AGENT DENHAM A boat? Learned to sail when I was six. JORDAN I mean, one like this. Just had her extended to put a chopper on the back. Jordan points out the Bell-Jet helicopter. AGENT DENHAM Never been on a boat with a second mode of transportation on top of it. Jordan finds the file he's been looking for, offers it. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 75. AGENT DENHAM (CONT'D) (before he'll accept) What is this? JORDAN Names and addresses of every guest at my wedding. Friends, clients. I even threw in the seating chart. Heard that's why you wanted the video, figured this'd expedite whatever it is you're doing. (Denham looks: it's indeed a guest list from the wedding) I wanted to show you I've got nothing to hide. I know you're investigating Stratton but for the life of me I can't figure out why. Sure, my company is unorthodox; what brokerage isn't? Maybe we're a little louder than most but we don't do anything illegal. Talk to the SEC, they'll tell you, they checked us out up and down. AGENT DENHAM The SEC's actually a civil regulatory agency. We pursue criminal activity. JORDAN That's what I'm saying. You guys take on real crime. Which is why I'm so curious: what do you think we did? The reason Jordan asked him here, Denham realizes. AGENT DENHAM I can't discuss ongoing investigations. JORDAN I understand. AGENT DENHAM Though, to be frank, this case kinda got dumped on my desk. Some higher-up felt your shop needed looking into after all that press, fell on me to do the looking. JORDAN You know who you should be looking at? Goldman, Lehman Brothers, Merrill. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 76. JORDAN (CONT'D) What those guys're up to with collateralized debt obligations? This internet stock bullsh**? C'mon. If you want, I'll walk you through exactly -- AGENT DENHAM -- that'd be great. And if there's anything you can give me just to close out your file, get it off my desk-- JORDAN -- sure, get you back to the real criminals -- AGENT DENHAM -- then we could both profit from this little sit-down. Jordan sizes him up: what did Denham mean by “profit”? JORDAN You sure you don't want anything to drink? Water for your pal? (Denham demurs) Rumor is your started out in finance. Even got your broker's license before you joined the bureau. AGENT DENHAM Who told you that? JORDAN (searches his memory) Jeez, who was it...? (comes up short) Ever regret it? Giving up the money-crazed, pin-striped life? Ever think where you'd be if you'd stuck with it? AGENT DENHAM When I'm riding the subway home, sweating my balls off, in a suit I've worn three days, sure. JORDAN Whattaya pull in working at the bureau, if you don't mind me asking. 50-60K a year? AGENT DENHAM Just about. We get a free handgun out of it, though, that doesn't s**. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 77. JORDAN S'crazy, the world we live in, the jobs with real value, the ones we should appreciate -- firefighters, teachers, FBI agents -- those are the ones we pay the least. AGENT DENHAM Way of the world. JORDAN That's one thing I like about what I do, the opportunity to make that right. Take this kid we had interning last year. Didn't want to be a broker, wanted to be an environmental scientist or something, he had a student loan debts up to his eyeballs. Anyway, his mom gets sick, all they can afford is third-rate care. Some of us got together, made an investment on his behalf and --boom -- overnight everything changes, she's seeing the best doctors in the country. Sadly, didn't work out, she pa**ed but still: having the power to do that makes all the other bullsh** worth while. (as Denham considers that) See, it's all about proper guidance, Pat. Knowing someone with the right relationships, who's discreet. I can change a life almost every day. They measure each other. AGENT DENHAM How much that intern make off your deal? JORDAN North of half a million. Denham summons Agent Hughes over. To Jordan: AGENT DENHAM Can you say that again, what you told me? (Jordan declines with a smile; to Agent Hughes) I believe Mr. Belfort just tried to bribe a federal officer. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 78. JORDAN What? I was making conversation. AGENT DENHAM Sounds like that to me, Jordan. JORDAN ...no, no, no... AGENT DENHAM ...sounded like that... JORDAN ...no, to constitute a bribe, don't I have to make an explicit offer of money for services? With an exact dollar figure attached? All I said was “north” of half a million. According to the U.S. Criminal Code, that dog won't hunt, Pat. (then) Heard you were a straight arrow. That you wouldn't bend the rules other agents might. He was right. AGENT DENHAM You did a background check on me? JORDAN Figured you were looking into me, was only fair. Plus you sail on a yacht fit for a Bond villain, sometimes you gotta act the part. AGENT DENHAM This is why you invited me down to your yacht? With a couple hookers on it -- JORDAN -- those are friends -- AGENT DENHAM -- to get a sense of the guy who was coming after you? Jordan puts his hands up: “you got me.” JORDAN Thanks for coming down. Now get off my boat. AGENT DENHAM You know, most of the Wall Street jacka**es I bust, they were born to the life. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 79. AGENT DENHAM (CONT'D) Their father was a douchebag before them, and his father before that. But you, you got this way all on your own. Good for you, Jordan. (as he starts to go) Thank you for having us. I'm absolutely certain we'll see each other again. (before he does) You know, this is about the nicest boat I've ever been on. Just think what a hero I'll be in the office when the bureau seizes it. Jordan watches him go, temper flaring: he can't let Denham get the final word. He calls after them: JORDAN Hey, Denham! I'm gonna eat a claw of lobster now as I get my co*k s**ed by Heidi down below. You have a super ride home on the subway thinking about that! * As he watches them pull away, seething -- JORDAN (V.O.) He was a numbers guy, a follow-the-f**ing-money'er. He wasn't gonna come at me through my guys, looking for a weak link and a quick k**. He was gonna come at me like an accountant would, the way Ness got Capone, through my books. Which meant? It was a**-covering time. 138 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY (SUMMER ‘95) 138 As Naomi looks on, 5 months pregnant, Jordan packs a suitcase. Switzerland? Switzerland?

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 80. JORDAN (V.O.) Rugrat set up a meeting with a Swiss Banker he knew from law school who could launder our money, but it wasn't till noon the next day. Jordan glances at his watch, washes down a few ludes. JORDAN (V.O.) I knew if I timed my lude intake right, I'd sleep through the entire overnight flight. 140 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - DAY (SUMMER ‘95) 140 Jordan stands before the Bullpen talking to his Brokers. JORDAN (V.O.) At four p.m. I popped a few ludes, which started kicking in by the time I finished our sales meeting. This was the tingle phase. 141 INT. CANASTEL'S - NIGHT (SUMMER ‘95) 141 Over dinner, a visibly high Jordan ravenously digs into his food as Donnie and four Blue Chip Hookers look on. JORDAN (V.O.) By dinner I popped a few more on top of some co*ktails and an valium or two. The slur phase. 142 INT. DANCE CLUB - NIGHT (SUMMER ‘95) 142 On the crowded dance floor, Jordan gets knocked around like a marionette, saliva strung from his mouth. JORDAN (V.O.) By eight thirty I'd done a few more and pretty much lost my motor sk**s. This was the drool phase. 143 INT. HOTEL SUITE - NIGHT (SUMMER ‘95) 143 Jordan is barely conscious as a Hooker rides him. JORDAN (V.O.) And by ten I didn't know who or what I was doing -- the amnesia phase. We boarded the plane just before midnight. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 81. 144 INT. ZURICH AIRLINES - FIRST CLASS - NIGHT (SUMMER ‘95) *144 Jordan boards, slurring, drooling, completely wasted. JORDAN (to a Stewardess) Sweetheart! Look at you! And as he hugs her, then stumbles toward his seat... 145 INT. ZURICH AIRLINES - FIRST CLASS - DAY (SUMMER ‘95) *145 Quiet; morning sunlight bleeds through the window. Jordan's eyes flicker open. He yawns, looks around, tries to get up; he can't move. He looks down, sees six seat belts restraining his arms and legs. Jordan looks over at Donnie, mouth agape, asleep next to him. Donnie. Nuuhh? JORDAN Donnie, wake up. DONNIE JORDAN Untie me, sh**bag. You think this is funny? DONNIE I didn't tie you, the captain did. He almost tasered you. JORDAN Why? 146 FLASHBACK -- 146 As PASSENGERS scream, Jordan wildly humps a STEWARDESS, the CAPTAIN struggling to restrain him. JORDAN (V.O.) This was f**ing great. I hadn't laundered a dime yet and already I was under arrest. 147 INT. ZURICH AIRLINES - FIRST CLASS - DAY (SUMMER ‘95) *147 A pensive Jordan sits, mind racing. JORDAN (V.O.)

BANQUE REAL DE GENEVE - LOBBY - DAY (SUMMER ‘95) 149 JEAN-JACQUES SAUREL greets them. 30s, suave. The lobby is ultra-modernist. SAUREL Jordan Belfort! At last! Nicholas has told me so much. RUGRAT Jordan, Jean-Jacques Saurel. JORDAN Nice to make your acquaintance. This is some lobby you got. SAUREL Ah, yes. We gave our designer an unlimited budget and he exceeded it. Come! You must tell me all about your adventure with the stewardess over coffee! They disappear upstairs. 150 SCENE 150 OMITTED 150 The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 83. 151 INT. BANQUE REAL DE GENEVE - SAUREL'S OFFICE - DAY 151 Jordan, Rugrat and Donnie drink coffee with Saurel and one other SWISS BANKER. It's an impressive office, with * an enormous fish tank. DONNIE We have a joke in America. “Heaven is a place where the police are Brits, the chefs are Italian, the car mechanics are German, the prostitutes are French and the bankers are Swiss.” I never got it ‘til now -- look at those f**ing fish! Come here, little guy... SAUREL Yes, we have the same joke here. Only sometimes the English are chauffeurs and the chefs are French. The Germans, alas, are always mechanics; no one wants to grant them more authority than that. Polite laughter. Jordan, not as impressed by the fish, cuts straight to the point: JORDAN I'm curious about your bank secrecy laws. SAUREL Excusez-moi, Jordan, Swiss custom requires ten minutes of idle chit-chat before business can be discussed. (a smile) Of course, let's get “down to it.” What would you like to know? JORDAN Under what circumstances would you be obligated to cooperate with an FBI or U.S. Justice Department investigation? Ca depend. Ca depend? SAUREL JORDAN Ca depend on what? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 84. SAUREL Whether America plans to invade Switzerland in the coming months. RUGRAT Want me to see if tanks are rolling down the Rue de la Croix? More chuckles. Through Jordan's forced smile: JORDAN (V.O.) What I'm asking, you Swiss dick, is are you going to f** me over. SAUREL (V.O.) I understand perfectly, you American sh**heel. Saurel smiles. SAUREL The only way the Banque Real de Geneve would cooperate with a foreign legal body is if the crime being pursued also happened to be a crime in Switzerland. But there are very few Swiss laws pertaining to your “rumored” improprieties. Which is why Mr. Azoff's joke is most appropriate: from a financial standpoint you are now in heaven, and we welcome you. If the U.S. Justice Department or FBI or SEC or IRS sent us a subpoena, it would become papier-toillette. We would wipe our a** with it. Everyone's impressed. Except Jordan. JORDAN Unless it was an investigation into stock fraud -- which is a crime in Switzerland. Then you'd have to cooperate. SAUREL (now he's impressed) Yes, we would. Assuming the account is under your name. However, if it were in the name of a nominee of yours... They take each other in. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 85. JORDAN (V.O.) Was that yodeling I just heard or did you just say what I thought you said? SAUREL (V.O.) Yes! Yes! As the meeting wraps up with handshakes, Jordan's V.O. overwhelms Saurel's V.O.. JORDAN (V.O.) He was telling me to use a rathole. Problem was: sneaking a U.S. rathole into Switzerland was a chance I couldn't take. What I needed was somebody with a European pa**port. 152 SCENES 152 - 153 OMITTED 152 154 EXT. LONDON FLAT - DAY (SUMMER ‘95) 154 Naomi's Aunt Emma answers the door. AUNT EMMA Jordan? JORDAN (big smile, sweating) Surprise. 155 EXT. HYDE PARK - DAY (SUMMER ‘95) 155 Amid towering trees and horse trails, a noticeably twitchy Jordan walks arm-in-arm with Aunt Emma. AUNT EMMA So tell me about this plan of yours. JORDAN I'd like us to go to Switzerland tomorrow so you can open an account. I'll fund it, and I'll pay you really well for your trouble. AUNT EMMA Oh my. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 86. JORDAN Next month maybe you can fly to New York and we can start moving the cash. AUNT EMMA Moving the cash. (smiles) I feel like a character in an Ian Fleming novel. It's all quite racy, isn't it? JORDAN It is, and it's illegal too. Of course if you ever got in trouble, I'd come forward in two seconds, say I duped you, but even still. AUNT EMMA Risk is what keeps us young, isn't it darling? JORDAN I like that attitude. Promise me * you'll spend at least ten thousand pounds per month out of the account, okay? AUNT EMMA (chuckles) I wouldn't even know how. I really do have everything I need. JORDAN But I bet you don't have everything you want. How about a bigger apartment so your grandkids can sleep over? Aunt Emma notices that Jordan is sweating, fidgety. He's jonesing. AUNT EMMA Shall we sit? JORDAN Sure, that'd be great. They sit on a nearby bench. After a while: AUNT EMMA Sometimes I wonder if you let money get the best of you, dear. (beat) Among other substances. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 87. JORDAN It's that obvious, huh? AUNT EMMA It's the height of summer and * you've got the chills. * JORDAN I'm a drug addict, Emma. Coke, * pills, you name it, whatever you * got. Sex addict too. * AUNT EMMA (laughs) Well there are worse things to be addicted to than s**. JORDAN (chuckles; then) Why did I just tell you that? * AUNT EMMA (playful) Because I'm very easy to talk to. Jordan looks at her. A few beats, then: JORDAN As a matter of fact you are. My * job, you know, it's tough. I mean * I'm not complaining, it's just the stress. All these people depending * on me. Millions of dollars at * stake every day. I sometimes feel * I've bitten off more than I can * chew. * AUNT EMMA You're a man with large appetites. Jordan looks at her and smiles: JORDAN (V.O.) Is she f**ing hitting on me? JORDAN I agree. I put it on myself. It's * hard to control the anxiety, you * know? It's hard to learn to relax. * AUNT EMMA To release the tension. JORDAN (V.O.) She is hitting on me! Holy sh**! Jordan leans in closer, casually slips an arm around her. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 88. JORDAN Exactly, to release the tension. * Sometimes you gotta learn to do * what comes natural in life, huh? * Aunt Emma pulls back slightly. AUNT EMMA (V.O.) Is he f**ing hitting on me?

There's a curious thunk-thunk-thunk. JORDAN (V.O.) When I got home, I realized there was no way Aunt Emma could smuggle that much cash by herself. I racked my brain for another person with a foreign pa**port. The bed's covered with bundles of cash. Every thrust of Jordan's, another bundle plummets to the floor -- thunk. 156 SCENES 156 - 157 OMITTED 156 158 INT.

BRAD We'll get her parents to tape up too. They got Swiss pa**ports. Plus her brother and his wife. Five people, six-seven trips? JORDAN How much'll they want for it?

I got a few mil of my own I wanna move. I'll call you, you can come pick it up. BRAD (takes offense to Donnie's presumption) You'll “call” me. DONNIE (what part don't you understand?) And you can come “pick it up.” Brad asks Jordan if they can speak in private. MOMENTS LATER, IN PRIVATE: Jordan joins Brad. JORDAN What's wrong? BRAD Don't make me deal with this f**nut, okay? JORDAN Donnie? He's just high is all. BRAD I dunno if he's stupid or a junkie but he's a loose f**in' cannon. I don't trust him and I don't want him around me. JORDAN Jesus.

Brad just wants to take the money and be done. BRAD Give me the money. A DISTANCE AWAY, a COP in a patrol car notices Brad gesturing to Donnie for his briefcase. He nudges his partner: check this out. DONNIE Can I come over and help tape this to your wife? “Eez so focking steeky! Take eet off, Bra-hod!” Brad composes himself, lest he k** the guy. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 93. BRAD I'm gonna give you a pa**. DONNIE You're what? BRAD I'm gonna give you a pa**. DONNIE You're gonna give me a pa**? BRAD Yes. Just gimme the money. DONNIE You're gonna give me a pa**? Okay... (offers the case) Why don't you stick your pa** up your Slavic c*nt's p**y. That does it. Brad attacks. Donnie throws the case at him, which opens on impact, money spilling out. Brad instinctively tries to contain it... and that's when the POLICE SIRENS start. Here comes the patrol car. BRAD sh**! Donnie bolts. With no time to get to his car, Brad takes off on foot, bleeding briefcase in hand, toward a video store where he stashes his .38 in the return box. POLICE Freeze! Don't move! Brad drops to his knees, briefcase at his feet. From a distance, Donnie peers around a corner to watch him get arrested, knowing he f**ed this up. 170E SCENES 170E - 178 OMITTED 170E 178A INT.

CLOSE ON -- a Lemmon 714 Quaalude; pure white, with trademark ridged edges. JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D) The Lemmon 714 was the Holy Grail of Quaaludes, outlawed since the ‘80s and three times as powerful as anything available today. For a Quaalude addict, it was like finding a 1952 Chateau Margaux. CLOSE ON -- Donnie gauging Jordan's excitement, waiting for the right moment to admit his f**-up. DONNIE(V.O.) I'd been saving these for a special occasion, like a birthday or celebrating our money being out of the country. Instead I thought I'd better use ‘em to help break the news about Brad. 180 INT.

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 98. Jordan can't respond. Phone still to his ear, his eyelids droop. Drool spills from his slackened jaw. JORDAN (V.O.) After fifteen years in storage, the Lemmons had developed a delayed fuse. JORDAN'S POV -- is hazy as he stares at his own reflection in the pay phone. JORDAN (V.O.) It took 90 minutes for the little f**ers to kick in, but once they did -- pow! I had skipped the tingle phase and went straight to the drool phase. JORDAN'S POV -- the phone gets further and further away. JORDAN (V.O.) Actually I'd discovered a new phase: the cerebral palsy phase. BAMMM!! Jordan hits the floor with a thud, crashed out on his back. From the dangling phone, we hear: BO DIETL (O.S.) (over phone) Jordan! Jordan! Do not get behind the wheel! Just tell me where you're at, I'll send Rocco! Jordan lolls his head toward the phone, tries to reach for it; he can't. He lays there for a while, then: JORDAN (V.O.) C'mon, stand up! He rolls onto all fours, lifts a hand, topples over. JORDAN (V.O.) Okay, walking is off the list of options. All right, what else is there? (a brainstorm) I can crawl, like Skylar! Slowly, Jordan begins crawling like an infant to the top of the staircase. 188A SCENES 188A - 188B OMITTED 188A The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 99. 189 EXT.

JORDAN (V.O.) f**! The kid makes it look so easy! An icy wind blows through his T-shirt. JORDAN (V.O.) Think, you motherf**er, think! (a few beats; then) Wait, I've got it! Jordan slowly curls himself into a ball. JORDAN (V.O.) I can roll! Forcing himself over the edge, Jordan begins to descend the steps, one at a time. Thump. Thump. Then faster. Thump- Thump-Thump. Faster still. He loses control, takes all the steps at once. Thump-Thump-Thump-Thump-Thump-Thump. He lands with a crash on the asphalt, drags himself up and into the Lamborghini. 190 INT. JORDAN'S LAMBORGHINI - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 190 Ignition on, Jordan sits hunched over, chin resting on the steering wheel. Just then, the car phone RINGS. With great effort, he pushes the speaker phone bu*ton: JORDAN ...ello? NAOMI (O.S.) Omigod! Jordan, where are you?! JORDAN Whazz a marra? NAOMI (O.S.) It's Donnie, he's totally out of control! He's on the other line with some Swiss guy! Jordan's face reads horror. JORDAN Whaa?!! No!! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 100. NAOMI (O.S.) I can't understand you! Just get home, hurry! Naomi clicks off. And as Jordan puts the car in gear... JORDAN (V.O.) They say God protects drunks and babies. I was praying the same held true for drug addicts. 191 EXT. HEGEMAN'S ROAD - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 191 Peering over the wheel like an old lady, Jordan slowly maneuvers the Lamborghini down the dark road. JORDAN (V.O.) I was less than a mile from home and drove slower than sh**. 192 EXT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER 95) 192 Jordan pulls up in the Lamborghini, shuts the ignition. JORDAN (V.O.)

Naomi rushes back in. * NAOMI Omigod, he's choking! Jordan, do something!! Just then, WE HEAR the triumphant Popeye FANFARE --Jordan looks to the TV, where POPEYE pours a can of spinach down his gullet. Instantly, his chest and arm muscles swell to five times their size. Jordan goes to get his coke. He snarfs up two fat spoonfuls and -- like that -- his chest swells and he takes a deep breath and he dashes back to the rescue... Jordan rushes back to Donnie, who is now blue. NAOMI (CONT'D) He's not breathing! Jordan places his fingers over Donnie's artery. Nothing. NAOMI (CONT'D) Save him! Jordan kneels, starts furiously pumping Donnie's chest, breathing air into his lungs in rhythmic bursts. JORDAN (V.O.) This stupid sonovab**h! All Donnie ever did was f** me up and now I had to save his life ‘cause I took a CPR cla** when the baby was learning to swim. Just for the record, I want it noted: not for a second did I even think about letting him choke to d**h, even though it would've saved me an awful lot of headaches. Donnie still isn't breathing. Jordan flips him over, tries the Heimlich -- we hear a CRUNCH as he breaks Donnie's ribs. He flips him back over, but he's almost completely blue. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 103. JORDAN He won't come back! NAOMI Don't let him die! He has children! One last try. Jordan takes a ma**ive breath, blowing as hard as he can into Donnie's lungs. Donnie's stomach distends like a balloon, then suddenly a chunk of ham projects from his mouth and into Jordan's face. Donnie coughs, vomiting. And as he starts breathing again, Jordan exits and pa**es out on the living room couch. * FADE TO BLACK. BROOKVILLE POLICE #1 (V.O.) Jordan Belfort? 196A INT.

MANNY RISKIN That's what all lucky people say. It's time, Jordan. Let me make a deal with SEC. Before your luck runs out. Skylar waves from the pony and Jordan waves back. JORDAN What kind of terms? MANNY RISKIN You plead guilty to a handful of securities violations -- stock manipulation, high pressure sales tactics, ticky-tack sh** like that. You pay a few million dollars in fines and in exchange the SEC f**s off for all time. JORDAN And Stratton? What happens there? The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 105. MANNY RISKIN You'd have to walk away. Let Donnie take over. (that one hurts) Now the FBI's a different animal. They can still pursue you for criminal wrongdoing. But with you on the sidelines, my guess is your best friend Agent Denham'll be left standing around with his dick in his hand. Jordan digests that. MAX You beat them, Jordan. You won. Sail into the sunset with your wife and kids while you can. MANNY RISKIN God knows you'll never have to work again.

STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - DAY 202E (SPRING ‘96) The troops ROAR as Jordan takes center stage. JORDAN I'm sure many of you have been hearing rumors lately, about me, about the future of this firm, and that's what I'd like to talk to you about today. (a few beats, then) Five years ago when I started Stratton with Donnie Azoff, I knew the day would eventually come when I'd be moving on. It's truly with a heavy heart that I tell you that day is here. The place erupts in a chorus of “No!”, “Don't go!”, etc. Jordan raises his hand for quiet. JORDAN (CONT'D) Thank you for that and for your years of incredible loyalty and admiration. The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 106. JORDAN (CONT'D) The point is though, that under Donnie's leadership, along with Robbie Feinberg and Nicky Koskoff moving into key management positions, this place is gonna be better than ever! A smattering of applause. Jordan notices a few Brokers gravely shaking their heads. JORDAN (CONT'D) And the fact that I'm gone won't stop me from giving Donnie advice, not that he needs any-- DONNIE (jumping in) Why would anyone in their right mind not follow JB's advice? Donnie looks petrified; he's used to being an offensive tackle, not the quarterback. JORDAN Before I go, there's something I want to remind you all, and that's this -- Stratton Oakmont is bigger than any one person, even me. Especially me. You guys are Stratton, each and every one of you, and that is why it's sure to remain the best brokerage firm in the f**ing world! Thunderous applause spreads through the boardroom, all 300 Brokers on their feet. WE PUSH IN on Jordan. JORDAN (CONT'D) See, the very idea of Stratton is that when you come here and step into this bullpen for the first time, you start your life anew. You have a place here and no one can take that away from you! Stratton Oakmont is America! Give me your tired and poor! The very moment you walk through that door and pledge your loyalty to this firm, you become part of a family, you become a Strattonite! It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter where you're from! Whether your family came over on the Mayflower or on a f**ing inner tube from Haiti! The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 107. More applause. Jordan scans the young faces -- they worship him. In the crowd he finds KIMMIE BELZER, 30s. JORDAN (CONT'D) Everybody here knows Kimmie Belzer, right? Hoots and hollers... He raises his hand for quiet. JORDAN (CONT'D) In case any of you weren't aware of it, Kimmie was one of Stratton's first brokers, one of the original twenty. Now when most of you met Kimmie, you met her the way she is today -- a beautiful woman who drives a brand new Mercedes, a woman who lives in the finest condo complex on Long Island. A woman who wears $3000 Armani suits, who spends her winters in the Bahamas and her summers in the Hamptons! Wild applause. JORDAN (CONT'D) But that's not the Kimmie I met. The Kimmie I met was broke, a single mom on the balls of her a**. Three months behind on her rent with an eight year old son! She came to me for a job and when I hired her she asked for a $5000 dollar advance so she could pay his tuition. And what did I do, Kimmie? KIMMIE You wrote me a check for $25,000! JORDAN Because I believed in you, like I believe in each and every one of you! KIMMIE I love you, Jordan! As the Brokers go berserk, Jordan stands basking in the adoration. He looks at Donnie, turns back to the Crowd, looks out at the faces. A change has come over him. He stands there, thinking. An eternity, then: The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 108. JORDAN You know for years I've been telling you guys not to take no for an answer, to keep pushing, to not hang up the phone till you get what you want. This deal I'm about to sign, barring me from the securities industry, barring me from Stratton, my home... What the f** is that? I'll tell you what it is, it's me being a hypocrite. It's me taking no for an answer, it's them selling me, not the other way around! f** it, I'm not leaving! Jordan smiles, thrusts his hands in the air -- JORDAN (CONT'D) THE SHOW GOES ON!!

ITALIAN NAVAL DESTROYER - BELOW DECK - NIGHT *211 (SUMMER ‘96) Off to the side, Jordan watches as Naomi, their Friends, and the yacht's Crew Members dance to blaring techno music. A small group of Italian SAILORS cheer them on. JORDAN (V.O.) The nice thing about getting rescued by Italians is that the first thing they do is feed you and make you drink red wine. Then they make you dance. Jordan watches as the dancing continues, then casually glances out a porthole, where WE SEE the distant lights of a PLANE making its way across the night sky. After a few beats, the plane EXPLODES, a tiny flash of light. JORDAN (V.O.) Did you see that? That was the plane I sent for to come get us. I sh** you not, it exploded when a seagull flew into the engine, three people k**ed. You want a sign from God, well after all this I finally got the message. I had to make some f**ing changes.

WE START WITH FLASHES OF THE SEMINAR: Jordan in front of a dry erase board, lecturing a small audience. JORDAN At the essence of every personal interaction, of every business transaction, of every effective human communication is PERSUASION... once you learn to control the linguistic encounter, you will be SHOCKED at what will happen... you are a person worth listening to, and taking it one step higher than that, you are someone who can help them achieve their goals... 215B JORDAN ON THE GROUNDS OF HIS ESTATE, addressing us. 215B JORDAN (CONT'D) Do you dream of being financially independent but struggle every month just to pay your bills?

MIAMI RESTAURANT - NIGHT (SEP ‘98) 219 Jean-Jacques Saurel is handcuffed by Feds as Rugrat looks on crying, handcuffed nearby. JORDAN (V.O.) What were the odds?
