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. Stabilty.
                  Integrity. Pride.

1F      WE SEE a shot of the black glass 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
                  cocksucker to nail a bullseye!

        The "bullseye" is a large dollar sign in the middle of a
        giant velcro "dartboard".
                                                                     2.

                                JORDAN (CONT'D)
                  Watch and learn, people!

       The Brokers go apeshit 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                      *

       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.
                                                                    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

       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 fucks an HISPANIC
       HOOKER from behind.

                                JORDAN (V.O.)
                  I also gamble like a degenerate,
                  drink like a fish, fuck 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 asshole.

                                JORDAN (V.O.)
                  Oh yeah, and I love drugs.
                                                                  4.
       The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages      3/5/13

     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.

                               CAPTAIN DAVE
                Pull up!   Jesus! We're gonna
                crash!!

     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 fucked-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 glass of orange juice.

                              JORDAN (V.O.)
                Yes, on a daily basis I take
                enough drugs 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.
                                                               5.
       The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13
                              JORDAN (CONT'D)
                I use Xanax to stay focused,
                ambien to sleep, pot to mellow
                out, cocaine 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 glass office building.
     Jordan gets out, heads inside through a back door.

                              JORDAN
                But of all the drugs 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 shit'll make you
                invincible, able to conquer the
                world and eviscerate your enemies.

     He SNARFS up the line, gestures to the cocaine.

                              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 pussy -- 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 fucking
                spotted owl with money.
                                                                    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.
                 Fuck 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 fucking 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.

                         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 pass 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 sucked a dog's cock 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 fucking 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 fuckin' love that! Let's grab
           lunch later. Windows good with
           you?

                            JORDAN
           Great.   Yeah.
                                                            8.
  The Wolf of Wall Street    Buff Revised Pages    3/5/13

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 fuck!!

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 fuckin' 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)
           Fuckface! I got 50,000 July 50s!

                         JORDAN (V.O.)
           You want to know what money sounds
           like? Visit a trading floor on
           Wall Street. Fuck this, shit
           that. Cock, cunt, asshole. 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 cocksucking 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 glass 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--
                                                               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 passes 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?
                                                         10.
 The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

                         MARK HANNA
           High is the only way to do this
           fucking 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 fucking
           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 cocaine, which
           will make you dial faster, which
           is good for me. Churn `em and
           burn `em, baby.
                                                              11.
      The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

     A BUSBOY stops by with a fresh napkin for Mark who thanks
     him. Then, discreetly as possible, Mark removes a fresh
     vial of cocaine 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 passed 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.   Fucking. Shit.

     And as the Brokers start commiserating with each other...
                                                                12.
      The Wolf of Wall Street    Buff Revised Pages    3/5/13

                              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 classifieds.
     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.
                                                              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.
                                                                 14.
      The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages    3/5/13

                              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 shit.


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...

                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:

                that be check or money order?...

     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.

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,

      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?

                                   JORDAN
                 Yeah.

                                   DONNIE
                 Nice ride.      Donnie Azoff.

                 the same building. Twelfth floor?
                      (Jordan nods)
                 What do you do, bro?

                               JORDAN
                 Seventy grand last month.

                               DONNIE
                 Get the fuck out. You made
                 seventy grand in one month.

                               JORDAN
                 Seventy two actually.

      Donnie studies him, isn't sure if he's full of shit.

                               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.

     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
                fucking 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 --

     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.

     Jordan and Donnie get high. Donnie holds a flame under a
     crack pipe.
                                                                 18.
      The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages    3/5/13

                              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 fuckin' love you!!

                              JORDAN (V.O.)
                I knew I had to make him my
                partner.

     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.

     Jordan and Donnie pull up to a defunct auto body shop,
     which has a "For Lease" sign in the window.

                              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
                shit about money either.

                              CHESTER MING
                Man I could sell weed to anybody,
                get a convent full of nuns fucking
                wasted.

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 jewelry case -- inside is a diamond tennis bracelet.

                               TERESA
                Omigod.   Jordan.

                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.

                No, no.   I love it.

                                  JORDAN
                Then what?

     They sit in silence.       Finally:

                              TERESA
                I don't know, it's just -- these
                stocks, these crappy companies.

                               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 (V.O.)

      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.
                                                              23.
      The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13
                              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.

                We're at the beginning of the
                beginning! This is where the sale
                starts. You as a salesman are

                can finally do your fucking job!

                The fact is it doesn't matter what
                the fuck 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 fucking salesman!
                So what do you say?

                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?

                I'd like to read you something.

                              JORDAN (CONT'D)
                And to celebrate with a weekly act
                of debauchery, I have offered our
                lovely sales assistant 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...

     Jordan finishes up an interview with a FEMALE FORBES

     A gorgeous place; city views. As Teresa sits nearby, a
     distraught Jordan paces, holding the copy of Forbes.

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 assistant 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.

      The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

                               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 Masseuses
     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
                fuck is he even doing here? He
                read the Forbes article, too, but
                he already had a job.

     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 cocaine,
                testosterone and body fluids.

      In a stall, two Brokers snort coke, while another Broker
      fucks a Sales Assistant perched on the sink.

                               JORDAN (V.O.)
                 I had to declare the office a fuck-
                 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 fuck 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 blowjob from a sales
                 assistant.

                 Her name was Pam and   to her
                 credit, she did have   an amazing
                 technique, with this   wild twist
                 and jerk motion.

                 Eventually Ben married her, which

      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

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 fucking halfwit!
                                                              33.

     Max curses a blue streak as he stomps back to his chair.

          That's a whole different thing. I                   *
          can get on the phone with some                      *

                               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.

                 They usually cost a hundred or

                 condom, you'd get a penicillin
                 shot the next day and pray your
                 dick didn't fall off.

     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

     Massive, 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.)

                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 fucking
                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!

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, assigning ludes with every pocketed ball.

                              JORDAN
                Exactly. We do our own IPO's and
                we will print money.

                              SEA OTTER

                 We've got Arncliffe National,

                 ...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...

      CUT TO: Extreme close up of guys doing drugs.                  *

                               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-ass
                 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 shit, you can't even
                 find `em anymore today. You
                 people're all shit outta luck.

Jordan suspects Donnie may actually be onto something.
But just then...

                           SEA OTTER
           Holy fuck.

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.

           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.

                         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, cock in hand, jerking
off to Naomi. Hildy comes running over.
                                                                   44.

                Donnie!   What the fuck are you
                doing?!

     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.

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 cocktail dress.

                                  JORDAN
                Bay Ridge.      That's near Staten

                Brooklyn, across the Verrazano
                Bridge. Guinea gulch. Ever been?

                Actually I have family over there,
                in London. My Aunt Emma.

                              JORDAN
                That explains it then.

                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.

                Married people can't have friends?

     Naomi smiles. The Waiter brings the straw. She opens
     it, slips it in her red wine glass. 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.

                --then at night I do my designs.

     Jordan drives, Naomi next to him.

                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

                touch, then.

     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
                fuck this girl?

     As he crouches by the fireplace, his skypager vibrates.
     He checks the readout: "Teresa". His face falls as he
     hits the "silent" button, 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
                fucked her goddamn brains out.
                                                               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
                cock went to heaven and God
                himself was cupping your balls.

     And as they start fucking 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!
                                                                  48.
      The Wolf of Wall Street     Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

     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 fucking 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                             TERESA
     What are you doing home?           That whore 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--

                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...

                     (off his silence)
                Jordan?

     Jordan says nothing.       Finally, Teresa starts sobbing.

                              JORDAN (V.O.)
                I felt horrible.

     Jordan holds her, letting her cry.
                                                                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...

     A GAY ORGY is in progress, a dozen naked MEN, including
     Nicholas, in various sexual 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.

     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 motherfucker stole fifty grand

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 kill you, cocksucker!
                You do not fuck 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 fuckin' teeth out,

                the jewelry, and we'll forget the

                sheep as far as I care, on my
                brand new fucking 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.

                                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 killed 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 ass.

     As the Cops swat Nicholas with their nightsticks:

     Fuckin' thief, huh?              Piece of shit.

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.

                 The SEC knew I was doing something

           What the fuck is this imbecile

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 passes the conference room, looks in the window--
two SEC ATTORNEYS wear coats as they review documents.

      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.

                                NAOMI (CONT'D)
                 Stop flexing your arms, you look
                 like a fucking 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 fuck 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.
                                                                  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 drugs 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 shit.

                                JORDAN (V.O.)
                  After that I'd assess 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.
                                                         62.
 The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

                         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 sucking
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.
                                                                  63.
       The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages     3/5/13

      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 asshole!
                                                                64.
       The Wolf of Wall Street    Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

      As she bolts from the room, Jordan plays with Skylar...

                               JORDAN (V.O.)
                 The good thing about living with
                 a world-class 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 assistant, 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 fuck you doing?

                               BROKER IN A BOWTIE
                      (bewildered)
                 Cleaning my fishbowl.

                                  DONNIE
                 Oh.
                                                                65.
        The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

       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
                  cocksucking, motherfucking
                  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 fuck
                  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
                  shit and get the fuck 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.

                                  JORDAN
                  The Cobbler.    Ready to get rich?

                  Hey buddy.

       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

                 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.

      Jordan and Donnie sit with Steve Madden in mid-
      conversation.

                               DONNIE
                 --which is why they need to meet

                 they'll push the shit out of this

                               DONNIE
                 Let them feel your passion.


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 --

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.

           Nice fucking hat!

           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.

He moves the mic; feedback SCREECHES through the bullpen.

           Sorry... Anyway, my first job

           where I worked in the stockroom.

           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                        BROKER #6
Queer!                            Get a fucking 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--
                                                           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
           fucking 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
           killer who will not take no for an
           answer!   A person who will not
           hang up the phone until his client
           either buys or fucking dies!

The Brokers go crazy.      Jordan looks around.

                         JORDAN (CONT'D)
           I don't care if you graduated from
           Harvard or Bumfuck University or
           never got past fourth fucking
           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.

           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 fuck out and get a
           job at McDonald's, because that's
           where you fucking 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 fucking 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 fucking
           loser? Pick up the phone and
           start fucking 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 fucking
           unthinkable that you'll have no
           choice but to do whatever it takes
           to win!

The Brokers go absolutely APESHIT.

                  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...

      Donnie pours champagne nearby, oblivious to Jordan, who
      sits at his desk, speaking directly to camera:

                 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--

                 Like I said before, who gives a

                  don't fuck with these guys, not
                  that way. Secondly, I got a P.I.

                  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 shit.

                         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.

                         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.

                         JORDAN (CONT'D)
           What those guys're up to with
           collateralized debt obligations?
           This internet stock bullshit?
           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
           suck.

                         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 passed but
           still: having the power to do that
           makes all the other bullshit 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.

                         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
           jackasses I bust, they were born
           to the life.

                 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 cock
                 sucked 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-
                 fucking-money'er. He wasn't gonna
                 come at me through my guys,
                 looking for a weak link and a
                 quick kill. He was gonna come at
                 me like an accountant would, the
                 way Ness got Capone, through my
                 books. Which meant? It was ass-
                 covering time.


138   INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY      (SUMMER `95)   138

      As Naomi looks on, 5 months pregnant, Jordan packs a
      suitcase.

                                 NAOMI
                 Switzerland?    What the fuck is in
                 Switzerland?

                                JORDAN
                 Swiss cheese, Naomi, what do you
                 fucking think?


139   INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY               *139
      (SUMMER `95)

      Jordan sits talking with Rugrat and Donnie.

       The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

                               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 cocktails 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
                 skills. 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.
                                                               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.

                                JORDAN
                 Donnie.   Donnie, wake up.

                                 DONNIE
                 Nuuhh?

                               JORDAN
                 Untie me, shitbag. 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 fucking great. I hadn't

                 Worse yet was the plastic baggie
                 of ludes that Donnie'd stuffed up
                 his ass.

       Jordan trades looks with Donnie, who shifts

       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.

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 fucking 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?

                                   SAUREL
                 Ca depend.

                                   JORDAN
                 Ca depend?      Ca depend on what?
                                                          84.
 The Wolf of Wall Street    Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13

                         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 fuck me over.

                         SAUREL (V.O.)
           I understand perfectly, you
           American shitheel.

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 ass 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.
                                                                 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 passport.

      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.

           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
           You're a man with large appetites.

Jordan looks at her and smiles:

                         JORDAN (V.O.)
           Is she fucking 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.

           She is hitting on me! Holy shit!

Jordan leans in closer, casually slips an arm around her.

       Jordan fucks Naomi.    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 passport.

       The bed's covered with bundles of cash. Every thrust of
       Jordan's, another bundle plummets to the floor -- thunk.

       With $20 mil in CASH on the bed, Jordan and a stoned
       Donnie watch as Brad tapes stacks of cash to his wife
       CHANTALLE, a bombshell in panties, bra and sneakers.

                 As a successful drug dealer, Brad
                 spent his winters in the South of
                 France, which is where he met his
                 wife Chantalle, a stripper of
                 Slovenian origin but born in, of
                 all places, Switzerland.

      Chantalle is completely taped up, a cash-covered mummy.
      Jordan looks on with Brad, Donnie and now Naomi. 90% of
      the cash is still on the bed.

                               JORDAN
                 Well, this is fucked.

                               NAOMI
                 It's gonna take her like fifty
                 trips.

                               BRAD
                 We'll get her parents to tape up
                 too. They got Swiss passports.
                 Plus her brother and his wife.
                 Five people, six-seven trips?

                 probably do it just for the miles.

           My money. I got a few mil of my
           own I wanna move. I'll call you,
           you can come pick it up.

                (takes offense to
                 Donnie's
                 presumption)
           You'll "call" me.

                (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
           fucknut, okay?

           Donnie?   He's just high is all.

                          BRAD
           I dunno if he's stupid or a junkie
           but he's a loose fuckin' cannon.
           I don't trust him and I don't want
           him around me.

                        JORDAN
           Jesus. I thought he was your best
           customer.

                         BRAD
           I only sell to him cuz he's your
           friend.

                         JORDAN
           Can you just do one trip for him?

Brad stews.   It's asking a lot.

                         BRAD
           I'll meet him but I won't pick up.
           I have a limit of how much of that
           douchebag I can take.

        Donnie emerges from where he's been eavesdropping.

                                 DONNIE (CONT'D)
                   I'm a douchebag?!! Well, whose

                   smuggled in over twenty million

       Brad waits by his Range Rover as Donnie's Rolls careens
       into the lot. He emerges, briefcase in hand.

       Sure looks like it. Brad looks pissed, and Donnie starts
       laughing. Actually he's dead sober.

                  have to dress like a mall rat
                  guinea prison bitch all the time.

       Donnie grins, obviously still smarting from Brad's slap.
       Brad just wants to take the money and be done.

                  Give me the money.

       A DISTANCE AWAY, a COP in a patrol car notices Brad
       gesturing to Donnie for his briefcase. He nudges his

       him, which opens on impact, money spilling out. Brad
       instinctively tries to contain it... and that's when the

       off on foot, bleeding briefcase in hand, toward a video

       arrested, knowing he fucked this up.

      Bored, Jordan and Donnie sit on the couch watching
      "Family Matters" on TV.

                               JORDAN
                 You feeling anything?

      With Jordan running on the treadmill, Donnie pumps away
      on an exercise bike nearby. They're both sweating.

                               DONNIE
                 This is bullshit, man. My fucking
                 metabolism's pumping and I don't
                 feel shit.

                 They're old, maybe they lost their
                 potency.

      Donnie leans over, picks up the bottle.         Reads the label.

      He shakes out more pills, two more apiece. As they pop
      them, a very pregnant Naomi descends the stairs, now very
      pregnant.

      Naomi heads back upstairs.    Jordan picks up the phone.

                 The Brookville Country Club was a

       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
                  fuckers 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.

189   EXT. STAIRCASE - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER `95)                           189

      The Lamborghini is parked at the bottom, twenty steps
      down. He starts to crawl down the stairs, stops. Tries
      again. Can't figure out how to do it.

                                JORDAN (V.O.)
                 Fuck!   The kid makes it look so
                 easy!

      An icy wind blows through his T-shirt.

                               JORDAN (V.O.)
                 Think, you motherfucker, 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 button:

                 control! He's on the other line
                 with some Swiss guy!

      Jordan's face reads horror.

      Naomi clicks off.    And as Jordan puts the car in gear...

                               JORDAN (V.O.)
                 They say God protects drunks and

      maneuvers the Lamborghini down the dark road.

       phone from the wall, throwing it skittering across the
       floor with a CLANG.

       Skylar looks on from the next room, crying as Jordan

Fuck it. Jordan releases Donnie. Donnie crawls into the            *
dining room and starts shoving ham into his mouth in an            *
effort to sober up. Just then, we HEAR a horrible                  *
GAGGING sound. Donnie holds his throat as he falls                 *
backward choking, taking out the entire glass kitchen
table with a tremendous CRASH! 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 sonovabitch! All
           Donnie ever did was fuck me up and
           now I had to save his life `cause
           I took a CPR class 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 death,
           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.
                                                                 103.

                  Don't let him die! He has
                  children!

       One last try. Jordan takes a massive 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 passes out on the living room couch.            *

       Nearby Naomi holds newborn PARKER. Manny Riskin and Max
       stand beside Jordan.

                                MANNY RISKIN
                  You're a lucky guy, Jordan.
                  Legally I've never seen anyone
                  slip a noose the way you do.
                  Christ, you're lucky to be alive
                  much less not in jail.

                                JORDAN
                  I don't believe in luck.

                                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.

                  left standing around with his dick

       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.
                                                        106.
The Wolf of Wall Street   Buff Revised Pages   3/5/13
                         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 fucking 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 fucking
           inner tube from Haiti!

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
           ass. 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:
                                                                108.

                   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
                   fuck 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! Fuck it, I'm
                   not leaving!

        Jordan smiles, thrusts his hands in the air --

                  way to transport it overseas.

       ON ANOTHER BAG, this one brimming with bottles of pills,
       bags of pot, vials of coke. Jordan and Donnie cut up

       with a rolled up $100 when a CELL rings. Donnie grabs

           some chop.

209   EXT. MEDITERRANEAN SEA - NIGHT      (SUMMER `96)                209

      The perfect storm. As the Naomi tips at a 45-degree
      angle, a thick wall of gray water comes rising over her
      side, slamming onto the bridge with a thunderous CRASH.

       impossibly steep angle, until it's pointing almost              *
       straight down. Captain Ted jams the throttle and the            *

211   INT. 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 shit you not, it exploded when
                 a seagull flew into the engine,
                 three people killed. You want a
                 sign from God, well after all this
                 I finally got the message. I had
                 to make some fucking changes.

                                                              FADE OUT.

       Shot on 90's-era video, an ad intended for late-night
       local tv. The defining idea here is that while the
       commercial may be amateurish, Jordan isn't; he's an
       excellent salesman even if the ad is cut-rate.

                  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...

                  Do you dream of being financially
                  independent but struggle every
                  month just to pay your bills?

                  this one someday but can barely
                  afford to pay your rent?

                  My name is Jordan Belfort and
                  there's no secret to wealth
                  creation. No matter who you are,

                    The first action you have to take
                    is to DECIDE to be wealthy. When
                    I was 24 years old, I made a
                    DECISION not to just survive but
                    to THRIVE. I started my own stock
                    brokerage firm, developing a                          *
                    SYSTEM OF SELLING that within a
                    year made me a multi-millionaire.

                  This one takes the cake. It was
                  Rugrat, he'd been busted down in

                  himself indicted on charges that

                  Long story short was Saurel ratted
                  me out, but not before he ratted
                  out Chantalle, who it turns out
                  he'd been fucking every time she

       Jordan exits the building. He's fucked and he knows it.
       He sees beautiful Naomi waiting for him beside a
       limosine; life isn't totally hopeless. He approaches.

                  Nay, thank God. I'm so glad

      an O'Douls, weighing his options.

      Donnie pops into the yard, in "Uncle Donnie" mode.

                      (joining Jordan)
                 Hate that fucking dog.

                 Tell me about it. It's getting
                 old, starting to shit inside the
                 house again.

      Jordan offers Donnie an O'Douls; Donnie declines.

                               DONNIE
                 How you doing, brother?     How was

                                DONNIE
                 Wonder if they got one in my size.
                 Fuckin' Rugrat, that wig-wearin'
                 hump. Tell you one thing: I'm

                 Inside.    Pissed.

      Donnie sees Naomi in a window.      He waves but she barely
      registers him.

                               DONNIE
                 What's up her ass?

                               JORDAN
                 Had to mortgage the home to make
                 bail. Probably gonna hafta sell
                 it to pay my lawyers. If we fight
                 this thing.

      Donnie weighs that.
                                                               124.

                  The Feds say anything about coming
                  after the rest of us?

       Jordan thinks, then shakes his head no.

                                DONNIE (CONT'D)
                  You know, we're all behind you.
                  Everyone at the office.
                       (he removes an
                        envelope, hands it
                        to Jordan)
                  We bought back your mortgage. All
                  the founding partners threw in a
                  million apiece. Figured none of
                  us would have it if it weren't for
                  you.

       Jordan's profoundly touched. Donnie squeezes his
       shoulder. A real moment of friendship.

                                DONNIE (CONT'D)
                  You gotta fight this thing, baby.

       Jordan nods.

                                JORDAN (V.O.)
                  Like I said, loyalty meant a lot
                  to me. Without your friends and
                  family standing behind you, you're
                  fucked.

           Baby, I talked to the lawyers                       *
           again today. I have some really                     *
           great news. As it turns out you're                  *
           totally off the hook.                               *

                         NAOMI                                 *
           I know that already.                                *

                         JORDAN                                *
           You never did anything wrong                        *
           anyway, right? At the end of the                    *
           day all they really want is for me                  *
           to cooperate - that's it.                           *
           See, apparently, I know so much                     *
           about what's going on in the stock                  *
           market that I could save the                        *
           government years of heartache. But                  *
           it get's even better... You see,                    *
           if I cooperate I'll only have to                    *
           serve four short years and any                      *
           fine I'd have to pay wouldn't be                    *
           due til after I serve my sentence.                  *
           We'll still have plenty of money                    *
           left over. The only thing that I                    *
           was kind of upset about was the                     *
           fact that I might have to give                      *
           them information about my friends.                  *

                         NAOMI                                 *
           Like you said, "There's no friends                  *
           on Wall Street".                                    *

                         JORDAN                                *
           But there's a silver lining to                      *
           that too... It turns out that all                   *
           of `em are probably gonna                           *
           cooperate too. So in the end, that                  *
           won't really be a factor.                           *

                         NAOMI                                 *
           Well, that's really good news,                      *
           honey. I'm really happy for you.                    *

       Jordan sits alone, finishes writing a long list of names
       on a yellow legal pad.

                                JORDAN (V.O.)
                  For the next six hours, I came up
                  with a list. Friends, enemies,
                  business associates, anybody who'd
                  ever known me or taken so much as
                  a stock tip. The first name on
                  the list was Donnie's.

       And as Jordan heaves a huge sigh, we're suddenly...


231    INT. FBI OFFICE - DAY     (OCT `98)                                 231

       Agent Denham tapes a recorder to Jordan's inner thigh,
       runs a microphone wire up his chest. Agent Hughes                   *
       watches.                                                            *

                                AGENT DENHAM
                  Talk normally, breathe normally,
                  within five minutes you'll forget
                  you even have it on.

       Jordan nods, buttons up his shirt.


232    INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - DAY        (OCT `98)          232

       Wearing a suit and tie, Jordan walks in to the bullpen,
       where the Brokers spot him, giving him a standing
       ovation. He forces a smile, waves to the crowd.

       As Robbie and Chester Ming look on, Jordan forces a smile
       as he approaches Donnie, who gives him a hug.
                                                                132.

233   INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY                233

      Jordan and Donnie sit at the coffee table over takeout
      sushi.

                               JORDAN
                 The trial won't be for months,
                 so obviously I'll be counting on
                 you to pick up the slack.

                               DONNIE
                 Whatever you need, bro.     You know
                 that.

      Jordan reaches in his jacket for a yellow slip of PAPER.

                               JORDAN
                 And you know how much that means
                 to me. Hey, you know what I
                 wanted to ask you?

      Jordan catches Donnie's eye, pushes the PAPER over in
      front of him.

                               JORDAN (CONT'D)
                 The Steve Madden deal, did he
                 ever come through on that?

      Donnie looks down at the paper, reads Jordan's writing:

       "DON'T INCRIMINATE YOURSELF.      I'M WEARING A WIRE."

                               JORDAN (CONT'D)
                 Remember he was supposed to kick
                 back like four mil from that one
                 account?

                               DONNIE
                 Uh... tell you the truth I was so
                 fucked up, I don't really remember
                 anything about that.

      Donnie slips the paper in his jacket, gives Jordan a
      look -- "Thank you." Jordan nods.

                               JORDAN
                 Well if you talk to him, let me
                 know. You want the last
                 yellowtail?

                                DONNIE
                 Why not?

                               JORDAN (V.O.)
                 And thus began my career as a
                 government cooperator. I was a
                 rat...

       Jordan lays alone, asleep in bed.      We hear the DOORBELL.

                                JORDAN (V.O.)
                  But I wasn't losing any sleep
                  over it.

       After a few beats, Violet knocks, enters.      Jordan stirs.

                                VIOLET
                  I'm sorry, Mr. Jordan.     You got a
                  visitor.

                  Why?   What's going on?

                                AGENT DENHAM
                  You're going to jail.

       Agent Denham holds up the slip of yellow paper that
       Jordan gave to Donnie. And on Jordan's look...

                                JORDAN (V.O.)

                 I'm not ashamed to admit, when we

front row of his audience, studying faces. He picks one.         *

            ballpoint --                                         *

Jordan takes the pen back with a smile.        Hands it to the   *
next person.                                                     *
