The Wolf of Wall Street Page #26

Two hundred people attend Jordan’s “Straight Line *

Persuasion” seminar, watching a massive screen (on which *

these KIDS have appeared). *

ON-SCREEN:
THE “JB” LOGO APPEARS, FOLLOWED BY CLIPS OF *

JORDAN giving seminars in different locations (see *

addendum below), edited in with footage of looming *

economic uncertainties. *

Then:
a MAN WITH A MIC steps out... *

MAN WITH A MIC *

Ladies and gentlemen, please join *

me in welcoming to Auckland, New *

Zealand... Mr. Jordan Belfort! *

BIG APPLAUSE as Jordan takes the stage, waving. This *

might go on a while. If so, there COULD be TITLES: *

Jordan Belfort spent 22 months in federal prison *

and paid $100,000,000 in fines. *

THEN:
*

His cellmate was, no f***ing joke, Tommy Chong. *

THEN:
*

Since his release, he’s become a multi-millionaire again *

as a motivational speaker. *

When the applause finally dies down... *

...Jordan doesn’t speak. Instead he walks down to the *

front row of his audience, studying faces. He picks one. *

Takes a pen from his coat and offers it to him. *

JORDAN *

Sell me this pen. *

The Kiwi, embarrassed, takes a moment, then: *

KIWI IN AUDIENCE *

Well, it’s a good pen, it’s a *

ballpoint --*

Jordan takes the pen back with a smile. Hands it to the *

next person. *

The Wolf of Wall Street Buff Revised Pages 3/5/13 137.

JORDAN *

Sell me this pen. *

As the next person tries...

*

WE RAKE ALONGSIDE HIS AUDIENCE, transfixed, desperate for *

Jordan’s knowledge, desperate to be molded, to be rich... *

JORDAN (O.S.) (CONT’D) *

Sell me this pen...Sell me this *

pen... Sell me this pen...Sell me *

this pen... *

FADE OUT.
