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:

 

JORDAN

...ello?

 

NAOMI (O.S.)

Omigod! Jordan, where are you?!

 

JORDAN

Whazz a marra?

 

NAOMI (O.S.)

It's Donnie, he's totally out of

control! He's on the other line

with some Swiss guy!

 

Jordan's face reads horror.

 

JORDAN

Whaa?!! No!!

100.

NAOMI (O.S.)

I can't understand you! Just get

home, hurry!

 

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

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

They say God protects drunks and

babies. I was praying the same

held true for drug addicts.

 

 

191 EXT. HEGEMAN'S ROAD - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER `95) 191

 

Peering over the wheel like an old lady, Jordan slowly

maneuvers the Lamborghini down the dark road.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

I was less than a mile from home

and drove slower than shit.

 

 

EXT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER 95) 192

 

Jordan pulls up in the Lamborghini, shuts the ignition.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Somehow I made it alive, not a

scratch on me or the car.

 

 

193 INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - FAMILY ROOM - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER `95) 193

 

CLOSE ON the TV, where a POPEYE cartoon is playing.

PULL BACK to reveal Skylar watching. As Jordan staggers

in, Naomi approaches...

 

JORDAN

Where Zonnie?!

 

NAOMI

In the kitchen.

A INT. SAUREL'S BEDROOM - NIGHT 195A

(LATE SUMMER `95)

 

Having been just woken up, Jean-Jacques Saurel sits up in

bed, phone to his ear, a perplexed look on his face.

 

SAUREL

What language are you speaking,

Mr. Azoff?

 

 

INT. JORDAN'S ESTATE - KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS 196

(LATE SUMMER `95)

 

With Naomi looking on, Jordan staggers toward Donnie

like a drunk Frankenstein.

 

JORDAN

Ge ozza zone! Ge ozza iz!!

 

DONNIE

Waz? Iz zoggin oo anzali!

 

JORDAN

GE OZZA ZONE!!

 

With all the strength he can muster, Jordan RIPS the

phone from the wall, throwing it skittering across the

floor with a CLANG.

 

NAOMI

What the fuck are you doing?!

 

DONNIE

Wazza fuh is wrong wizzz oooo?!!

I wuzz awwing to!!

(Jordan grabs him)

Wazza mazzer?! Wazza yoo razy?!!

 

Skylar looks on from the next room, crying as Jordan

tries to shake some sense into Donnie. Naomi crosses to *

Skylar and rushes her out of the room. *

 

JORDAN

JORDAN

WUZZ ZOD IN ZAW?!

 

DONNIE

WUZZ?!

 

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.

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

 

JORDAN

He won't come back!

 

NAOMI

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. *

 

FADE TO BLACK.
