Int. Jordan's manhattan apartment - living room - night 96

 

Jordan sits across from a very shaken Naomi.

 

NAOMI

He must have thought I was at my

mother's.

 

JORDAN

Where were they? In the bedroom?

 

NAOMI

They were right here!

50.

A beat, then Jordan realizes. He jumps off the couch

like it's on fire.

 

NAOMI (CONT'D)

It gets worse. After I chased

them out, I checked the apartment.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

The motherfucker stole fifty grand

in cash and jewelry.

 

 

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,

motherfucker!

 

JORDAN

Just give me the money, give me

the jewelry, and we'll forget the

whole thing.

 

NICHOLAS THE BUTLER

It's because I'm gay, isn't it?

51.

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

 

JORDAN

Nicholas. You could fuck a baby

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.

 

DONNIE

You're dead, you piece of shit!

 

NICHOLAS THE BUTLER

Jordan, please.

 

JORDAN

Fine.

 

Jordan nods to Chester. Without a word, he crosses to

Nicholas and BAMMM!! Nicholas's nose splits open like a

ripe plum, blood spurting everywhere. Tough-guy Donnie

takes one look, then SPEWS vomit into a garbage pail.

And as Chester pummels Nicholas's face into chopped

meat...

 

JORDAN (V.O.) (CONT'D)

It's amazing the kind of loyalty

money will buy. I mean Chester

almost 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.

 

 

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:

 

 

COP #1 COP #2

Fuckin' thief, huh? Piece of shit.

52.

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

 

And as they hustle Nicholas out...

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Loyalty, like I said. Which was

the key component to my incredible

fucking success.

 

 

98A EXT. GOLF COURSE - DAY (OCT `92) 98A

 

As Jordan golfs with Donnie, Chester, Robbie, Toby and *

some hookers, Brad pulls up in a golf cart with a cash- *

filled gym bag.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Besides Brad, I had eight other

`ratholes', close friends who'd

own stock on paper, but kick the

profits back to me after I drove

the price through the roof.

 

They hug, then Jordan adds the gym bag to several others

on the back of his golf cart. Donnie tries to befriend

Brad; Brad isn't interested.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

The SEC knew I was doing something

shady, but they couldn't figure

out what the fuck it was.

 

 

SCENES 99 - 100 OMITTED 99

 

 

INT. STRATTON OAKMONT III - BULLPEN - (ANOTHER) DAY 101

 

Jordan, Max and securities lawyer MANNY RISKIN exit the

kitchen with coffees.

 

MANNY RISKIN

I'm telling you -- piss on the

SEC's leg, you'll end up with your

tits in a ringer.

 

FREEZE FRAME - Manny stuffs a cruller into his mouth.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

My securities attorney, Manny

Riskin. Seven hundred an hour to *

be the voice of doom.

 

BACK TO SCENE

 

JORDAN

It's under control. Will you

relax already?

53.

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

 

Just then, Max spots a BROKER break-dancing as three

other Brokers look on...

 

MAX

What the fuck is this imbecile

doing?!

 

Max crosses off, starts screaming at the break-dancing

Broker. Jordan keeps walking with Manny.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

The SEC sent two lawyers down to

review our files, so I set them

up in our conference room.

 

Jordan passes the conference room, looks in the window--

two SEC ATTORNEYS wear coats as they review documents.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Then I had it bugged and the air

conditioning locked till it felt

like Antarctica in there.

 

One of the SEC Attorneys blows into his hands for warmth.

Manny follows Jordan toward the bullpen, his frenzied

Brokers working the phones.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

So here they were, looking for a

smoking gun while I was firing a

bazooka right under their noses.

It was our first IPO, and we were

driving the stock price to the

fucking moon.

 

BROKER #1

Arncliffe National, it's on fire!

 

BROKER #2

(voice lowered)

Believe me, your grandkids will

thank you.

 

BROKER #3

(to Sales Assistant)

Arncliffe National, ten thousand

shares!

 

Jordan speaks directly to camera as he continues walking

through the bullpen.

 

JORDAN

See an IPO is an initial public

offering, the first time a stock

is offered for sale to the general

population.

54.

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

JORDAN (CONT'D)

As the firm taking the company

public, we set the initial price,

then sold those shares back to -- *

(stops; then)

You know what, you're probably not *

following what I'm saying. The *

question is, "was it legal?" *

Absolutely not. But we were making *

more money that we knew what to do *

with. *

103 INT. BANK - SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT - DAY (OCT `92) 103

 

Alone in a private room, Jordan unloads a small suitcase

filled with stacks and stacks of hundred dollar bills.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

But I figured it out. *

 

CLOSE ON - a huge diamond engagement ring.

 

NAOMI (O.C.)

Omigod!!

 

 

104 INT. FOUR SEASONS RESTAURANT - NIGHT (OCT `92) 104

 

Jordan is down on one knee, proposing; Naomi

hyperventilates as he puts the ring on her finger -- a

seven carat, yellow canary diamond in a platinum setting.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

I held my bachelor party at the

Tangiers in Las Vegas -- one last *

blowout for the Gods before I

settled down for good.

 

 

SCENE 105 OMITTED 105

 

 

106 INT. TRANS CAPITAL AIRLINES - JUMBO JET - NIGHT *106

 

Inside a jumbo jet, a wild, mid-air party is in progress.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

A hundred Strattonites flew in

with fifty hookers and enough

drugs to open a pharmacy.

55.

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

 

Various images -- Stratton Brokers drink, do coke, a half-

dozen in mid-orgy with Hookers, naked in the aisle as

others pour champagne on them.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

All told, the weekend cost me

almost two million dollars--

 

 

107 PERIOD VEGAS ADS *107

 

 

108 INT. TANGIERS - PRESIDENTIAL SUITE - DAY *108

 

The Tangiers Presidential Suite is a shambles on the *

level of Hiroshima. A giant crystal chandelier lays

shattered on the floor; Jordan asleep in the massive bed,

a Blue Chip Hooker on either side of him; other passed-

out BODIES lay amid debris and broken, toppled furniture.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

But the wedding was like something

out of a fairy tale--

 

 

109 EXT. OCEAN CLUB - BAHAMAS - SUNSET (DEC `92) 109

 

Gorgeous; tropical. Hundreds of FAMILY and FRIENDS

(Janet, Toby Welch, Peter DeBlasio and Kimmie Belzer)

look on as Jordan and Naomi walk up the aisle.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

--with Naomi my Duchess, me her

handsome Duke and The Bahamas

Ocean Club our castle.
