Int. Stratton Oakmont II - Jordan's office - day 68

(SEP `91)

 

Jordan finishes up an interview with a FEMALE FORBES

REPORTER - ALIYAH FARRAN. They shake hands, then he

smiles for the camera - CLICK!

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

A total fucking hatchet job.

 

 

INT. JORDAN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - MORNING 69

(OCT `91)

 

A gorgeous place; city views. As Teresa sits nearby, a

distraught Jordan paces, holding the copy of Forbes.

 

JORDAN

That conniving little twat!

(reading)

"The Wolf of Wall Street".

 

TERESA

(on the bright side)

Your hair looks good.

 

JORDAN

"Jordan Belfort, a twisted version

of Robin Hood who takes from the

rich and gives to himself and his

merry band of brokers".

 

TERESA

There's no such thing as bad

publicity, sweetie.

 

 

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.

 

JOB APPLICANTS

Mr. Belfort! Over here! Sir!

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.

 

 

72 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - DAY (MAR `92) 72

 

CLOSE ON two BROKERS wrestling while others cheer them

on. PULL BACK to reveal the place from the opening. 300

young Brokers and their hot ASSISTANTS work the phones.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Within months, we doubled in size,

moved to even bigger offices.

 

Two other Brokers pump themselves up, chest-bumping and

screaming like football players.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

It was a madhouse, a greed-fest,

with equal parts cocaine,

testosterone and body fluids.

73 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - MEN'S ROOM - DAY (MAR `92) 73

 

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.

 

 

74 INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - LOBBY - DAY (JAN `92) 74

 

Two dozen Brokers cheer, watching through the rising

glass elevator as BEN JENNER, 25, gets a blowjob from a

brunette SALES ASSISTANT. *

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Her name was Pam and to her

credit, she did have an amazing

technique, with this wild twist

and jerk motion.

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - JORDAN'S OFFICE - DAY 75

(FEB `92)

 

As Pam blows Jordan, Donnie fucks her from behind.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Eventually Ben married her, which

was pretty amazing considering she

blew every guy in the office.

 

 

75A INSERT POLAROID - (JUN `92) 75A

 

A wedding photo of Ben and Pam.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

He got depressed and killed

himself three years later.

75B INSERT POLAROID - (JUN `95) 75B

 

A crime scene photo; Ben in his underwear, dead on a

bathroom floor, a gun near his head, which oozes blood.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Anyway, in an attempt to maintain

order, I hired my dad Max as

defacto CFO and head of the

Gestapo.
