The Wolf of Wall Street Page #4

Fogel notices Jordan sitting there frozen. He covers his

mouthpiece, kicks the desk violently.

JERRY FOGEL:

Dial the cocksucking phone!

Jordan snaps out of it, starts dialing.

JORDAN (V.O.)

I was hooked within seconds.

Mark Hanna slams down his phone in victory, scrawls out a“buy” ticket. He places the ticket into a glass cylinderwhich he slips into a plastic pneumatic tube.

JORDAN (V.O.)

It was like mainlining adrenaline.

The tube is WHOOSHED into the ceiling and we’re suddenly--

21 INT. WINDOWS ON THE WORLD - DAY (MAY ‘87) 21

CLOSE ON a COKE SPOON whose contents disappear up anostril. PULL BACK TO REVEAL...

The lunchtime power spot with panoramic views of thecity. At a corner table, a paranoid Jordan looks aroundas Hanna does another bump of coke. None of the other

DINERS seem to notice or care.

MARK HANNA:

(offering the spoon)

Got enough for one more? Tootski?

JORDAN:

No. Thanks though.

Hanna slips the vial into his pocket as HECTOR, thetuxedoed Maitre’D, approaches.

HECTOR:

Mr. Hanna, what can I bring foryou on this glorious afternoon?

Hanna surreptitiously palms Hector a $100; Jordannotices.

MARK HANNA:

Here’s the game plan, Hector.

Bring us two Absolut Martinis

straight up. Precisely seven anda half minutes after you deliverthose you’ll bring two more, thentwo more every five minutes untilone of us passes out.

HECTOR:

An excellent strategy, sir.

JORDAN:

Actually, I’m good with 7-Up.

Jordan might as well have farted at the table.

MARK HANNA:

First day on Wall Street, Hector.

Give him time.

(Hector offers menus)

No thanks, I’m not eating.

Hector heads off.

JORDAN:

You can get high during the dayand still function?

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 10.

MARK HANNA:

High is the only way to do this

f***ing job. Guy who coined the

term “three-martini lunch” was a

woman. Cocaine and hookers, my

friend, the keys to success.

Jordan smiles, not sure if Hanna is kidding.

JORDAN:

I gotta say, I’m really excited

about being part of your team.

I wanna do all I can for our

clients and --

MARK HANNA:

(reciting an ad)

“Here at L.F. Rothschild, our

clients aren’t just important,

they’re family.” Just as long as

we get our taste first. Remember

something, Jordan, your top

priority in this job: make us

money. If the clients get rich

along the way, bully for them.

Got a girlfriend?

JORDAN:

Wife. She cuts hair.

Mark swallows a comment about that. Gets to business.
