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.

JORDAN

Then you lower your voice.

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 50

 

Jordan pitches the client, his voice lowered.

 

JORDAN

Believe me, sir, you will not be

sorry.

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - REAR - NIGHT 51

 

Jordan stands before the Brokers.

 

JORDAN

Then you wait. Whoever speaks

first loses. At this point, where

are we in the sale? Chester?

 

CHESTER MING

About to close?

 

JORDAN

No, you sweet and sour douchebag!

We're at the beginning of the

beginning! This is where the sale

starts. You as a salesman are

almost hoping he says no so you

can finally do your fucking job!

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 52

 

Jordan sits at the phone, waiting for a response.

 

CLIENT (O.S.)

I don't know, I don't think so.

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO BODY SHOP - REAR - NIGHT 53

 

Jordan stands before the Brokers.

 

JORDAN

He doesn't know, he needs to

think, he's gotta ask his wife!

The fact is it doesn't matter what

the 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?

Donnie talks on the phone to a Client.

 

DONNIE

Let me ask you this, sir -- had I

been your broker for the past

three to four years and made you

money on a consistent basis, you

probably wouldn't say you need to

think about it, you'd probably say

pick me up three or four thousand

shares, am I right?

 

CLIENT #2 (O.S.)

Maybe.

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 55

(APR `90)

 

The place is crowded; now 20 Brokers make up the sales

force. Sea Otter pitches a client.

 

SEA OTTER

Wait a second. You mean to tell

me if I put you in Union Carbide

at 7 and took you out at 32--

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 56

(MAY `90)

 

Even more crowded, with 30 Brokers.

 

ROBBIE FEINBERG

If I put you in Texas Instruments

at 11 and took you out at 47--

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT I - AUTO SHOP BULLPEN - DAY 57

(JUN `90)

 

More Brokers still - now there's 45.

 

CHESTER MING

--Walmart at 16 and took you out

at 95, you wouldn't say Chester

pick me up 10,000 shares? C'mon.

 

CLIENT #3 (O.S.)

Well yeah, in that case I would.

58 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT II - BULLPEN - DAY (NOV `90) 58

 

New offices now, a real brokerage firm. The bullpen is

large, with 75 Brokers at polished maple desks, sitting

before computers talking into headsets.

 

DONNIE

So the problem is that I don't

have the luxury of a track record.

Sir, let me reintroduce myself to

you. My name is Donnie Azoff--

59 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT II - BULLPEN - DAY (APR `91) 59

 

4PM the place goes nuts as Jordan emerges from his office *

holding a spread sheet. He addresses the crowd of 100

BROKERS, which now includes a dozen WOMEN.

 

JORDAN

Everybody have a good week?

 

Applause; war whoops.

28.

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

 

JORDAN (CONT'D)

I'd like to read you something.

(reads spread sheet)

Month end, March 1991! $28.7

million in gross commissions - all *

in Stratton issues. Not bad for *

penny stocks, huh boys? Not bad *

for dumpin' penny stocks. *

 

The place goes WILD with applause.

 

JORDAN (CONT'D)

And to celebrate with a weekly act

of debauchery, I have offered our

lovely sales 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...
