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 uplines 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 theseevery fifteen minutes. If youcould set your egg timer, I’dappreciate 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 grabsit.

DONNIE:

Rugrat! Bongiorno, my bald eagle! *

RUGRAT:

We may have a problem. Yourfriend, Steve Madden, he’s

unloading shares.

208D EXT. YACHT NAOMI - DAY (SUMMER ‘96) 208D*

Donnie reacts as Rugrat expounds.

What?!

DONNIE:

You’re f***ing kidding?! *

RUGRAT:

No. I wish I was.

DONNIE:

Rugrat says Steve Madden’sunloading shares.

(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 f***ing friend is trying tofuck me. And you know where he’strying to f*** 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-f***ing-Shoes,

the shares were in his f***ing

name. Motherf***er 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, wegotta go home! *

The sight of Naomi and Hildy returning from their tripashore stops him. Because Naomi’s weeping, Hildyconsoling her.

JORDAN (CONT’D)

What the f***?! What happened?

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 112.

NAOMI:

I got a call from cousin Betty.

Aunt Emma’s dead.

Off Jordan’s reaction as Naomi weeps and laments thedearly departed: “she was so young, so healthy” etc. -JORDAN

(V.O.)

F***ing heart attack. Boom-snap,

she was gone. Shuffled off her

mortal coil and twenty milliondollars in a Swiss bank account.

Jean-Jacques Saurel sits at his desk, calmly smoking ashe talks on the phone.

SAUREL:

It is terrible. Your aunt was

such an elegant, attractive woman.

My condolences to you and yourfamily. You must be -208F

INTERCUT JORDAN ON THE BOAT AND SAUREL IN GENEVA 208F

JORDAN:

(no time for it)

Thanks but where does this leave

us in regard to her account? It

goes into probate or what?

SAUREL:

Not to worry, Jordan. Your aunt,

before she died, signed a documentnaming you as her successor.

She did?!

JORDAN:

SAUREL:

(a sly grin)

Well. Not as of yet.

And as they continue talking, Jordan pulls out a nauticalmap of the Italian coastline:

JORDAN (V.O.)

I gotta say, these Swiss weresneaky motherfuckers. Within

minutes he made arrangements toset me up with a forger, the bestdocument specialist in Geneva.

Thing was:
I had to get there inthree business days to co-sign onthe account.

CAPTAIN TED *

*

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 114.

JORDAN *

Then we drive to Switzerland so *

they don’t stamp our passports. *

Take care of business. Drive back *

to Monaco, fly to London for the *

funeral, fly back to New York to *

be there in three business days -*

That’s the f***in’ plan. *

CAPTAIN TED:

I’m getting reports of some

weather out there. Might run into

some chop.

JORDAN *

The boat’s 170 feet long. She can *

handle a little chop. *

HILDY *

We’re not going anywhere until he *

says it’s safe. *

DONNIE *

Chop is fine. *

JORDAN *

Is it safe? *

CAPTAIN TED *

If we take it slow... *

JORDAN *

We can do it? *

CAPTAIN TED *

Chop is chop. Some chop - it can *

be uncomfortable. *

JORDAN *

Well, that’s fine. *

CAPTAIN TED *

Anything is possible. I mean we’ll *

have to batten down the hatches *

just to be safe. Could be a few *

broken dishes. *

JORDAN *

A few broken dishes. Isn’t that *

great? Let’s go to Monaco -*

Jordan, Captain Ted and Donnie rush down stairs. As the *

ENGINE starts... *

The perfect storm. As the Naomi tips at a 45-degreeangle, a thick wall of gray water comes rising over herside, slamming onto the bridge with a thunderous CRASH.

Six Jet Skis plummet off the deck into the raging sea.
