B a Series of polaroids -- (1969) 3-3b

*

 

Jordan, 7, smiles as he poses behind a lemonade stand,

his parents Max and Leah behind him; Jordan, 13, stands

holding a styrofoam cooler, selling ices on the beach;

Jordan, 18, smiles as he holds an Amway sales brochure.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

The year I turned 26, I made 49

million dollars as the head of

my own brokerage firm--

 

 

4 EXT. LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY - DAY (FEB `95) 4

 

A CHERRY RED Ferrari Testarossa ZOOMS down the L.I.E.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

--which really pissed me off

because it was three shy of a

million a week.

 

The Ferrari weaves in and out of traffic.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Hey, my Ferrari was white, like

Don Johnson's in Miami Vice.

 

We see the same Ferrari, now in WHITE, as it zooms away,

a BLONDE head bobbing up and down in Jordan's lap.

 

 

5 EXT. LONG ISLAND'S NORTH SHORE - DAY (FEB `95) 5

 

A twin-engine Bell Jet helicopter descends over a huge

mansion, with sparkling pool, tennis court and waterfall.

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

 

 

C SERIES OF SHOTS 7-7C

 

All taken from TV; a mansion from Lifestyles of the Rich

and Famous; wealthy PEOPLE applauding at a polo match;

a yacht sailing crystal blue seas; Robert Wagner and

Stephanie Powers toasting with champagne on Hart to Hart.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

In addition to Naomi and my two

perfect kids, I own a mansion,

private jet, six cars, three

horses, two vacation homes and

a 170 foot yacht.

 

 

8 INT. HOTEL BEDROOM - NIGHT (FEB `95) 8

 

Sweaty, wild-eyed and naked, Jordan 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.

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--
