H int. Stratton Oakmont III - Jordan's office - day 202h

(SPRING `96)

 

Janet enters Jordan's office, leaves a stack of legal

papers on his desk.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Within days, subpoenas started

flying. They were burying me in

paper --

Donnie pisses on a subpoena, to applause.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

-- notices to produce documents,

depositions. Donnie couldn't

drink water fast enough.

As Manny Riskin looks on, Jordan sits across from the

three SEC Attorneys and a COURT REPORTER.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

They interrogated everybody, it

went on for months. It was total

fucking harassment...

Various Stratton Brokers are deposed: Robbie; Rugrat,

Peter DeBlasio, Sea Otter; Chester Ming.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

cracked. Donnie and I were given

strict instructions not to leave

the country...

JORDAN (V.O.)

-- this seemed the most civilized

way to transport it overseas.

 

ON ANOTHER BAG, this one brimming with bottles of pills,

bags of pot, vials of coke. Jordan and Donnie cut up

lines as a HOSTESS serves Bloody Marys.

 

HOSTESS

Can I get you anything else,

gentlemen?

 

JORDAN

I have a rare condition that

requires me to drink one of these

every fifteen minutes. If you

could set your egg timer, I'd

appreciate it.

 

She goes. The blow is ready for inhaling. Jordan and

Donnie are doing a "you first, no, you first" routine

with a rolled up $100 when a CELL rings. Donnie grabs

it.

 

DONNIE

Rugrat! Bongiorno, my bald eagle! *

Donnie reacts as Rugrat expounds.

 

DONNIE

What?! You're fucking kidding?! *

 

RUGRAT *

No. I wish I was. *

 

DONNIE *

(to Jordan) *

Rugrat says Steve Madden's *

unloading shares. *

 

JORDAN *

What?! (Grabs Donnie's phone) *

Rugrat, what the fuck? *

JORDAN (CONT'D)

(Hands Donnie his phone) Call the *

sonovabitch! Hold on a second. *

 

BACK AT STRATTON... *

 

RUGRAT *

I'm looking at the screen and huge *

chunks of Steve Madden are being *

sold. We're not doing it so it's *

gotta be Steve. He's the only *

person who owns that many shares. *

 

ON THE BOAT... *

 

Jordan cups the phone, looks to Donnie who shrugs.

 

DONNIE

He's not picking up.

 

JORDAN

Your fucking friend is trying to

fuck me. And you know where he's

trying to fuck me? Up the ass.

(back to Rugrat)

I need some time to think. *

 

Jordan thinks, snorts a line to think better.

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Even though I owned 85% of Steve-

Cocksucker-Madden-fucking-Shoes,

the shares were in his fucking

name. Motherfucker knew I was in

trouble with the Feds and was

trying to take advantage.

 

He gets back on the phone with Rugrat.

 

JORDAN

Tell all the brokers to sell. *

Drive the price down. Steve will *

go cockless when he watches me *

turn his company into a penny *

stock. *

(he hangs up)

Sonovacunt!

(yelling below deck)

Captain Ted!! Start `er up, we

gotta go home! *

 

The sight of Naomi and Hildy returning from their trip

ashore stops him. Because Naomi's weeping, Hildy

consoling her.

 

JORDAN (CONT'D)

What the fuck?! What happened?

NAOMI

I got a call from cousin Betty.

Aunt Emma's dead.

 

Off Jordan's reaction as Naomi weeps and laments the

dearly departed: "she was so young, so healthy" etc. --

 

JORDAN (V.O.)

Fucking heart attack. Boom-snap,

she was gone. Shuffled off her

mortal coil and twenty million

dollars in a Swiss bank account.

Jean-Jacques Saurel sits at his desk, calmly smoking as

he talks on the phone.

It is terrible. Your aunt was

such an elegant, attractive woman.
