brand new f***ing 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 sh*t!

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 aripe plum, blood spurting everywhere. Tough-guy Donnietakes 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 hislegs. Jordan stops him.

JORDAN (V.O.)

I finally called the cops, mainly

to save Nicholas’s life.

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

F***in’ thief, huh? Piece of sh*t.

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 52.

And as they hustle Nicholas out...

JORDAN (V.O.)

Loyalty, like I said. Which was

the key component to my incrediblefucking success.

98A EXT. GOLF COURSE - DAY (OCT ‘92)

As Jordan golfs with Donnie, Chester, Robbie, Toby andsome 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 theprofits back to me after I drovethe price through the roof.

They hug, then Jordan adds the gym bag to several otherson the back of his golf cart. Donnie tries to befriend

Brad; Brad isn’t interested.

JORDAN (V.O.)

The SEC knew I was doing somethingshady, but they couldn’t figureout what the f*** it was.

Then I had it bugged and the airconditioning locked till it feltlike Antarctica in there.

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

Manny follows Jordan toward the bullpen, his frenziedBrokers working the phones.
