Excited, they each pop a lude, toast with hot sake’...

DISSOLVE TO:

182 INT. JORDAN’S ESTATE - BASEMENT - LATER (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 182

Bored, Jordan and Donnie sit on the couch watching“Family Matters” on TV.

JORDAN:

You feeling anything?

DONNIE:

Nope.

(glances at watch)

Thirty five minutes.

JORDAN:

Maybe we’ve built up a toleranceall these years?

Donnie shrugs; they pop another, wash it down with sake’.

DISSOLVE TO:

183 INT. JORDAN’S ESTATE - BASEMENT - LATER (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 183

With Jordan running on the treadmill, Donnie pumps awayon an exercise bike nearby. They’re both sweating.

DONNIE:

This is bullshit, man. My fuckingmetabolism’s pumping and I don’tfeel sh*t.

JORDAN:

They’re old, maybe they lost their

potency.

Donnie leans over, picks up the bottle. Reads the label.

January ‘81.

duds.

DONNIE:

They’re f***ing

He shakes out more pills, two more apiece. As they popthem, a very pregnant Naomi descends the stairs, now very

pregnant.

NAOMI:

What are you two retards doing?

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 96.

JORDAN:

Nothing. Working out.

NAOMI:

(a look; then)

Bo Dietl’s on the phone.

Naomi heads back upstairs. Jordan picks up the phone.

JORDAN:

Bo, hey, what’s up?

184 INT. BO DIETL’S CADILLAC - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 184

Bo Dietl talks on his cell phone.

BO DIETL:

I need to talk to you, but not onthis phone.

INTERCUT JORDAN AND BO

JORDAN:

Why, what’s-

BO DIETL:

Leave the house, call me back

from a pay phone, you hear me?

185 EXT. JORDAN’S ESTATE - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 185

Jordan pulls his Lamborghini out of the driveway.

JORDAN (V.O.)

The Brookville Country Club was aWASP stronghold, a straight shotdown the road from my house.

186 EXT. BROOKVILLE COUNTRY CLUB - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 186

Jordan pulls up, exits the car in sweats, flip-flops anda T-shirt. He hustles up a staircase into...

187 INT. BROOKVILLE COUNTRY CLUB - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 187

Jordan stands at a pay phone, receiver to his ear.

WE HEAR it ringing, then:

BO DIETL (O.S.)

Yeah, I’m at a pay phone.

BO DIETL:

JORDAN:

BO DIETL:

Are you f***ing high?

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 98.

Jordan can’t respond. Phone still to his ear, his

eyelids droop. Drool spills from his slackened jaw.

JORDAN (V.O.)

After fifteen years in storage,

the Lemmons had developed a

delayed fuse.

JORDAN’S POV -- is hazy as he stares at his ownreflection in the pay phone.

JORDAN (V.O.)

It took 90 minutes for the little

f***ers to kick in, but once they

did -- pow! I had skipped the

tingle phase and went straight to

the drool phase.

JORDAN’S POV -- the phone gets further and further away.

JORDAN (V.O.)

Actually I’d discovered a new

phase:
the cerebral palsy phase.

BAMMM!! Jordan hits the floor with a thud, crashed out

on his back. From the dangling phone, we hear:

BO DIETL (O.S.)

(over phone)

Jordan! Jordan! Do not get behind

the wheel! Just tell me where

you’re at, I'll send Rocco!

Jordan lolls his head toward the phone, tries to reachfor it; he can’t. He lays there for a while, then:

JORDAN (V.O.)

C’mon, stand up!

He rolls onto all fours, lifts a hand, topples over.

JORDAN (V.O.)

Okay, walking is off the list of

options. All right, what else is

there?

(a brainstorm)

I can crawl, like Skylar!

Slowly, Jordan begins crawling like an infant to the topof the staircase.

188A SCENES 188A - 188B OMITTED 188A

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 99.

189 EXT. STAIRCASE - NIGHT (LATE SUMMER ‘95) 189

The Lamborghini is parked at the bottom, twenty stepsdown. He starts to crawl down the stairs, stops. Tries

again. Can’t figure out how to do it.

F***!

easy!

JORDAN (V.O.)

The kid makes it look so

An icy wind blows through his T-shirt.

JORDAN (V.O.)

Think, you motherf***er, think!

(a few beats; then)

Wait, I’ve got it!

Jordan slowly curls himself into a ball.

I can roll!

JORDAN (V.O.)

Forcing himself over the edge, Jordan begins to descendthe 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 onthe steering wheel. Just then, the car phone RINGS.

With great effort, he pushes the speaker phone button:

...ello?

JORDAN:

Omigod!

NAOMI (O.S.)

Jordan, where are you?!

JORDAN:

Whazz a marra?

NAOMI (O.S.)

It’s Donnie, he’s totally out ofcontrol! He’s on the other line

with some Swiss guy!

Jordan’s face reads horror.

Whaa?!! No!!
