"Thanks again, Officer." "It's not like I cared about the 50 grand anyway." "I was making that much almost every day through one rathole or another."

"It's because this man is a creative genius." "This ability, this gift that Steve has, it goes beyond just spotting the hottest shoe trends." "Steve's power is that he creates trends." "You understand?" "Artists like Steve come along once every decade." "I'm talking Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Coco Chanel," "Yves Saint Laurent." "Steve, come over here for a second." "I don't think you all realize that Steve Madden is the hottest person in the women's shoe industry, with orders going through the roof at every department store in North America right now."

"All right, I want you all to focus for a second." "See those little black boxes?" "They're called telephones." "I'm gonna let you in on a little secret about these telephones." "They're not gonna dial themselves." "Okay?" "Without you, they're just worthless hunks of plastic." "Like a loaded M16 without a trained Marine to pull the trigger." "And in the case of the telephone, it's up to each and every one of you," "my highly-trained Strattonites." "My killers!" "My killers, who will not take no for an answer!" "My fucking warriors, who will not hang up the phone until their client either buys or fucking dies!" "(ALL CHEERING)" "Let me tell you something." "There is no nobility in poverty." "I have been a rich man and I have been a poor man." "And I choose rich every fucking time."

"Hit him!" "Get the fuck off me!" "And if anyone here thinks I'm superficial or materialistic, go get a job at fucking McDonald's, 'cause that's where you fucking belong!"

"As always, the point is this." "$22 million in three fucking hours!" "Can you believe this shit?" " I fucking love this, baby!" " It's amazing!" "JANET:" "Jordan!" "Barry Kleinman's on the phone" " from Future Video." " Who?" "I don't know." "He shot at your wedding." "He says it's urgent." "Urgent?" "Who the fuck is Barry Kleinman?" "Oh, my God, you wanna marry me?" "You're in love with me?" "Yeah." "Go fuck your cousin!" "Hey, Barry, what's up?" "Listen, I got this subpoena." "Subpoena?" "What the fuck are you talking about?" "Yeah, the FBI, they want a copy of your wedding video." "JORDAN:" "The fucking FBI?" " You fucking kidding me?" " BO:" "Listen to me." "His name is Denham." "He's an agent with the New York office." "JORDAN:" "What's his problem?" "BO:" "He's a Boy Scout." "He thinks you're fucking Gordon Gekko." "JORDAN:" "What does he want with my wedding video?" "It's like an invasion of my privacy." "You know what I'm saying?" "It's like..." "It's intrusive, you know." "He's got pictures of your whole inner fucking circle." "Pictures, names of the people." "You know what he's trying to do?" "Exactly what he's doing." "Look at yourself." "He's trying to rattle you, he's trying to rattle your old lady, so she nags you until you become a fucking witness." "He wants me to rat on myself?" "He wants me to give information about my..." "Listen." "The good fucking news is, you know I know everybody downtown," "I call up the Justice Department, the DEA, nobody even knows you fucking exist, so calm down!" "They don't know I exist?" " No." " That's good." "But you..." "You know who he is, right?" " Yeah." " So, if I just wanted to get some more information, just find out what he knows, you could go to his house, right?" "Tap his phones a little bit, bug him." "You could get some information..." "You don't fuck with these guys like that." "You don't fuck with them like that." "What are you, nuts or something?" "This is what you fucking do." "What do I pay you for?" "I have a fucking P.I. license, you know?" "I make a living at this." "I'm not a cop anymore." "They'll take my fucking license away from me, all right?" "Okay." "Okay, if I can't do that, can I just..." "Can I give the guy a call?" " Why?" "Is that..." " Jordan." "Jordan." "Do me a favor?" "The only one who calls this guy is your fucking lawyer." "I can't call him, right?" " It's against the rules?" " I told you, whatever the fuck you say to him, he's gonna use against you." "Don't you understand?" "He's smart, you're dumb." "Fucking bullshit." "Are we fucking talking tonight, or are you gonna get schwacked?" "The last time you took these fucking pills, you put your head in the fucking macaroni." "I had to pick it up." "All right." "Okay, I won't call him." "Hey, fellas!" "Come on board." "The plank's right around there." "Welcome!" "Whoo!" "What a nice day." "Hey." "Welcome aboard." "Jordan." "Welcome aboard the Naomi." "Pleasure to meet you." "Agent Denham." "This is Agent Hughes." "Hi, how are you?" "Let me introduce you." "This is Nicole, Heidi." "Come on." "Don't be shy." "What are you guys all shy for?" "Don't be scared." "These are friends of Stratton." " It's a pleasure." " Hello." "Um..." "(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)" "Your message said that you wanted to speak privately." "Right." "I do want to speak privately." "Give us a minute, huh, ladies?" "Let me know if I can get you anything." "We'd be happy to help." "You guys hungry?" "Want something to eat?" "Got some pasta, shrimp, lobster." "I got whiskey." "Any kind of booze you want." "You know what?" "The Bureau doesn't allow us to drink while we're at sea." "Duh!" "Of course." "(BOTH CHUCKLE)" "Ever been on one of these before?" "A boat?" "I learned how to sail when I was six." "No shit." "Is that right?" "Really?" "On one like this, though?" "I had the whole front extended in order to fit the chopper up there." "See that?" "Anyway, this is for you." "It's a complete list of every person that was at my wedding." "I understand you wanted the whole wedding video." "Figured this would help expedite the whole process, right?" " There you go." " Look, my point is that" "I know you're investigating Stratton." "But for the life of me, I can't figure out why." "I know we're a little unorthodox, we're a little loud in the way we do things." "But you gotta understand, we're the new guys on the block, you know, we're trying to make a name for ourselves." "But I want you to understand, we don't do anything illegal." "Whatsoever." "I mean, you could talk to the SEC." "They were at my office 15 times over the last six months." "I mean, I got..." "I got nothing to hide." "Well, you know the SEC is a civil regulatory agency." "We pursue criminal activities." "Exactly!" "You go after real criminals, which makes me wonder what the hell you're investigating me for?" "(BOTH CHUCKLING) I mean, honestly..." "What is it that you think that we did or do?" "I don't get it." "Well, I..." "Look, Jordan, I can't discuss an ongoing investigation." "No, I get that." "No, I understand." "With that said..." "This case got dumped on my desk..." " Did it?" " You know, by a higher-up who needs to make a show of looking into the new company on the block," " with all the press and everything." " New loud guys." "And then I end up being the schmuck who does the looking." "Exactly." "It's just, you know..." "It bothers me." "We're the new guy." "We're the one that's banging on Wall Street's door." "I mean, you should..." "You should see what's going on at the bigger firms." "I mean, I know all the information." "It's true!" "Goldman, Lehman Brothers, Merrill..." "Collateralized debt obligations?" "This Internet stock bullshit?" "I mean, it's a fucking travesty." "I could take you step-by-step through what exactly is occurring." "All you have to do is ask." "I'm available." " That's exactly what I wanted to hear." " Mmm-hmm." "I don't see why a little sitdown like this can't be profitable for the both of us." "It should." "Right?" "It should profit the both of us." " It should." " Look." "I'm gonna give you my personal line." "Five days a week, you just call me, feel free." " I'll do that." " Great." "Are you sure you guys don't want something to drink?" "You're not hungry?" "Nothing?" " Nothing?" "No?" " Oh, no." "Let me ask you, and if you don't wanna get too personal," " just tell me to shut up at any time." " Oh." "Did you try to get your broker's license at one time?" "Did I hear that right?" "Were you trying to take a stab at Wall Street?" " No?" "(CHUCKLES)" " Who you been talking to?" "Who the fuck you been talking to?" "Well, you're investigating me." "I hear things." "(LAUGHING)" "You know what I mean?" "You ever think about what would've happened if you would have stayed the course?" "You know what?" "When I'm riding home on the subway and my balls are fucking sweating," "I'm wearing the same suit three days in a row..." "Yeah, you bet I do." "I've thought about it before." "Who wouldn't, right?" "Right, who fucking wouldn't?" "What do you get..." "Another personal question, no need to answer..." "No, that's all right, Jordan." "What do you pull in?" "50, 60K?" "Something like that?" " A year?" "In the ballpark?" " Oh." "Well, I..." "Let's put it this way." "You get a free handgun when you sign up for the Bureau." "(CHUCKLING)" "No, but it fucking pisses me off." "You know what I mean?" "You think about the people that built this country, hardworking people like you." "Firefighters, teachers, FBI agents." "End of the day, you guys get fucking skinned alive financially." "It fucking makes me angry." "Now the one thing about Wall Street and this market is, for me, I feel it's good to give back." "You know, there's..." "There are situations where I can make those situations better for people." "You know?" "You know what I mean." "Opportunity is everything." "Exactly." "Take for example, I got this one kid, right?" "Went to school for environmental science, something like that." "He was bogged down by student loans." "Turns out, his mother needed triple bypass surgery." " Jesus." " Right." "Horrible situation." "Sure." "But we got him into the market at the right time and chose the right stock." "We gave him the right guidance." "Boom!" "Overnight, changed his entire life." "Got to put his mother into the best hospital in New York City." "It didn't work out for her, granted, she passed away, unfortunately." "But we gave him that opportunity." "You know what I'm saying?" "It's just about setting up the right team, and then overnight your life can change." "What does..." "What does an intern..." "What does an intern make in a deal like that?" "Well, in that situation, in that particular trade, and it was one trade, north of half a million dollars." "And I'd do that for anybody, you know, anybody that needs the proper guidance." "Can you say that again, just the way you said it?" "Just the same way." "Oh." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Oh, come on!" "You know what I'm talking about." "I think what Jordan just did is he..." " If I'm not mistaken..." " No." "You just tried to bribe a federal officer." "No, technically I didn't bribe anybody." "No, no, that's not the conversation I heard, Jordan." "No, no, according to the U.S. criminal code, there needs to be an exact dollar figure" " for the exchange of services." " Oh!" "That would not hold up in a court of law." "Nah, it's not howl heard it." "No, no, no, that's the truth." "But I want to tell you this." "Yeah." "The same gentleman that told me that you tried to get your broker's license also told me that you are a straight arrow." "He ran a security check on me." "Well..." "Yeah, when you sail on a boat fit for a Bond villain, sometimes you need to play the part." "Right?" "I think it's time you both get the fuck off my boat." "What do you say?" "Hmm?" "(CHUCKLING)" "You know, Jordan, I'll tell you something." "Most of the Wall Street jackasses that I bust, they're to the manor born." " Is that right?" " Yeah." "Their fathers are douchebags, just like their fathers before them." "But you..." "You, Jordan, you got this way all on your own." "Did I?" " Good for you, little man." " Little man?" "(LAUGHING) Good for you." "Me, the little man?" "And let me tell you something." "Let me tell you something else." "Honestly, I'm not bullshitting here, this is one of the nicest boats" " that I've ever been on, I gotta tell you." " I bet it is." "And you know what I was just thinking, too?" "The fucking hero that I'm gonna be back at the office when the Bureau seizes this fucking boat." "Because, I mean, fuckety-fuck-fuck, Jordan, look at this thing!" "(BOTH LAUGHING LOUDLY)" "It's beautiful!" "And you got the beautiful girls there." "It's wonderful." "All right, get the fuck off my boat." "I'm sure we'll be seeing each other" " real soon." " I'm sure." "Good luck on that subway ride home to your miserable, ugly fucking wives." "I'm gonna have Heidi lick some caviar off my balls in the meantime." "Hey, you guys want to take some lobsters for your ride home?" "Fucking miserable pricks, I know you can't afford them!" "Fucking cheap fucks." "Fucking miserable pricks." "(WHISTLES)" "Hey, fellas!" "Look what I found in my pocket!" "Look!" "A year's salary right here." "You know what I call them?" "Fun coupons!" "See that!" "They're fun coupons!" "(SIGHS)" "Switzerland?" "What the fuck is in Switzerland?" "JORDAN:" "Swiss fucking banks, that's what." "It was ass-covering time." "I had to hide my money." "Enter Rugrat." "He knew this Swiss banker from law school." "That's for European pussy!" "JORDAN:" "But he was in Geneva." "And there was no way I was gonna make that flight sober." "So I knew if I took my drugs right," "I could sleep through the entire flight." "But I had to take them just right." "At 4:00 p.m., I popped a few more ludes, which started kicking in by the time." "I finished my sales meeting." "My tingle phase." "By dinner, I popped a few more on top of some cocktails and a Valium or two." "My slur phase." "(UPBEAT MUSIC)" "By 8:30, I took a few more ludes and pretty much lost all my motor skills." "This was the drool phase." "And by 10:00, I didn't know who or what the fuck I was." "The amnesia phase." "We boarded the plane just before midnight." "Wow!" "Look at you!" " You're beautiful." " Excuse me, sir." "His sleeping pills just kicked in." "He's all right." "May I see your boarding passes, sir?" "We have the boarding passes." "Jesus Christ, I wanna fuck her." "Hey!" "Fucking relax." "Oh, my God!" "You got your hand on my fucking cock!" "I don't." "Cut it out." "He's got his hand on my dick again." "I'm just trying to buckle you up." "You got your hand on his dick?" "You gotta stop doing that in public places." "Oh, my God." "Take it off!" "Take it off!" "I heard there's a treasure map under here." " Stop!" "I know, miss." " Excuse me, sir." "Please sit down." " Watch it." " Go back to your seat, please." " What are you upset about?" " Please go back to your seat." "I will have to call the captain." "Please, sir, please, sir." "Sit down." " Please sit down!" " NICKY:" "Ow!" " I'm going!" "Stop." " Okay, sorry." "We apologize." "We're gonna go to sleep." "Question." "I wanna ask you a question." "Fasten your seat belt, sir." "We cannot take off if you haven't fastened" " your seat belt." " I'm really horny, too." "STEWARDESS:" "Sit down." "Fasten it." " Right." "Okay, I'll sit down..." " I will do it for you." " DONNIE:" "What?" " I'll do it for you." "JORDAN:" "You gotta speak English." "We don't understand this language you're speaking." "I will help him with his seat belt." " You gotta put it on right." " Sit back." "Sit back, sir." " There you go." " All right." "I'll just lean back... (LAUGHING)" "Bitte, Hilfe!" "(BOTH MIMICKING STEWARDESS)" "Jesus Christ!" "Fuck!" "Donnie..." "Donnie, this isn't funny." "You gotta untie me, buddy." "I can't untie you." "The captain tied you up." "He almost fucking tasered you." "Why?" "Why?" "(INDISTINCT YELLING)" "He's got a fear of flying." "Ah!" "DONNIE:" "He's very nervous on planes, I'm sorry, it's not you, sweetheart, don't beat yourself up." "Easy, easy." "He's fine." "He's just a nervous flyer." "You were screaming at people." "Oh, fuck off." "You were on the floor rolling around and shit." "Oh, Jesus." "You called the captain the N-word." "I called the captain the N-word?" " Yeah, he was very upset." " Really?" " Luckily we're in first class." " Jesus." "Jesus Christ, I think you have a fucking drug problem." "Where are the ludes?" "Where are the ludes?" "They're up my ass." "Don't worry about it." " I got it." " (SIGHS) Okay." "Thank God." "Jesus Christ, what are we gonna do when we get to Switzerland, buddy?" "This is bad." "Fucking things are against my chest." "I can't breathe." "Come on, do something to calm me down." "Please." "Okay, shut the fuck up." "Shut the fuck up." "(WHIMPERING)" "Okay." "Shh!" "Shh!" "That's good." " (SING-SONG) Go to sleep." " Rub it harder, buddy." "You're all right." "We all love you." "Shut the fuck up!" "(BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH)" "Mr. Belfort, you're free to go." "Really?" "Whoo!" " NICKY:" "Hey, Donnie." " Yeah?" "NICKY:" "When we get out there, try not to act like yourself." "Okay?" "Let's make Geneva an asshole-free Donnie zone, all right?" "DONNIE:" "What are you fucking coming at me for?" "Hey, listen." "The only reason you're sitting in this limo and not in a Swiss jail is because of my friend." "Okay?" "Hilfe!" "(ALL CHUCKLE)" "NICKY:" "We're here." "We're here." "Everyone calm down." "Jordan Belfort!" "At last." "Nicholas has told me so much about you." "Jordan, Jean Jacques Saurel." " Pleasure to make your acquaintance." " Nice to meet you." "(ALL LAUGHING) JEAN JACQUES:" "It's a joke." "You'll understand when you're in the fucking seat." "You need a bigger couch." "For guests." "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "I don't understand." "I'm sorry." "I'm curious about your bank secrecy laws here." "Uh..." "Wait." "Yes." "Excusez-moi, Jordan." "Swiss custom requires 10 minutes of..." "Blah, blah, blah." " Chit chat." " Yeah, chit chat, thank you." "Before business can be discussed." "Yeah." "Of course." "Let's get down to it." "What would you like to know?" "Under what circumstances would you be obligated to cooperate with an FBI or a U.S. Justice Department investigation, for example?" "Ca depend." "Ca depend?" "Oui." "Ca depend on what, exactly?" "Whether America plans to invade Switzerland in the coming months." "(LAUGHTER)" "Shall I check if tanks are rolling down the Rue de la Croy?" " Yes." "Rue de la Croix." " Croix." "Croix." "Not Croy." "Not Rue de la Croy." "It's Croix." "See, this is what he used to do back in law school." "Check me." " Champagne." "Champagne." " Yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "French fries, pommes frites." " And that kind of stuff." " That's funny." "JORDAN:" "What I'm asking, you Swiss dick, is are you going to fuck me over?" "JEAN JACQUES:" "I understand perfectly, you American shit." "The only way the Banque Réal de Genéve would cooperate with a foreign legal body is if the crime being pursued is also a crime in Switzerland." "But there are very few Swiss laws which apply to your practices." "Hmm." "From a financial standpoint, you are now in heaven." "See, I told you he was fantastic, right?" "If the U.S. Justice Department sent us a subpoena, it would become papier toilette." "We would wipe our ass with it." "(LAUGHTER)" "Unless, of course, it was an investigation into stock fraud, which is a crime here in Switzerland, if I'm correct." "Then there would have to be coopération on your part," " if I'm not mistaken." " Yes." "Yes, we would." "Mmm-hmm." "Assuming the account is under your name." "If it were another name," "a friend's, camarade..." "Cousin?" "(AGREEING IN FRENCH)" " Relative?" " JEAN JACQUES:" "Yeah." "Hmm." "JORDAN:" "Was that yodeling I just heard or did you just say what I thought you said?" "JEAN JACQUES:" "Yes." "Yes." "JORDAN:" "He's telling me to use a fucking rathole." "But a U.S. rathole would never get into Switzerland with all that money." "What I needed was a rathole with a European passport." "Jordan." "Hey." "How's my favorite aunt, huh?" "Welcome." "Was the traffic terrible?" "Oh, no, not at all." "Jordan, come in." "Thank God Aunt Emma didn't need too much convincing." "Turned out the British weren't too different from the Swiss." "Money talks and bullshit takes the bus." "How do you say "rathole" in British?" "If you get into any trouble whatsoever," "I'll come forth immediately." "I'll say that I duped you." "That I promise." "Risk is what keeps us young, isn't it, darling?" "Sometimes I wonder if you let money get the best of you, my love." "Among other substances." "Oh." "(CHUCKLES)" "It's that obvious, huh?" "It's chilly, darling, and you're sweating bullets." "What can I say?" "I'm..." "I'm a drug addict." "I really am." "Cocaine, pills." "Whatever it is, I'll fucking do it." "(CHUCKLES)" "Now that's the truth." "I mean..." "I'm a sex addict, too." "Well, there are worse things to be addicted to than sex." "(LAUGHS)" "Jesus, why am I telling you all this?" "Why am I..." "I'm sorry." "Because I'm very easy to talk to." " You are." "You are easy to talk to." " Mmm." "I suppose it's..." "Just my job, you know." "All these people dependent on me." "Tens of millions of dollars at stake, you know." "Sometimes I feel like I..." "I've bitten off more than I can chew, you know." "You're a man with large appetites." "Yeah." "Is she fucking hitting on me?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I am." "I suppose I put that on myself though, right?" "My decision." "It's just hard to..." "Hard to learn to control the anxiety sometimes, you know?" "You know, to..." "Learn to relax and let go and..." "To release the tension." "JORDAN:" "She is hitting on me." "Holy shit!" "Yeah, to release the tension." "I suppose we, uh..." "We all just need to learn, uh..." "Learn to do what comes naturally in life, you know?" "EMMA:" "Is he fucking hitting on me?" "Stability, dear." "Family." "You take care of my niece, my love." "I'll take care of everything over here." "Deal." "JORDAN: (MOANING) Come on!" "There you go." "Whoo!" "We had, literally, a fuckload of money." "Aunt Emma could never carry all this by herself." "So I thought to myself, who else has a European passport?" "Brad, you're making this too fucking tight!" "Now Brad, as a successful drug dealer, spent his winters in the south of France, which is where he met his wife, Chantalle, a stripper of Slovenian origin born, in of all places," "Switzerland." "Well, this is fucked." "Oh." "No shit." "Like, this will take her like 50 trips." "I know." "Let me ask you something?" "What about her family?" "Right?" "I mean, they all got Swiss passports, fight." "She's got parents, she's got a brother, right?" "The brother's got a wife." "That's five fucking people." "Six, seven trips, boom, right?" "They're all fucking Swiss nitwits like her." " They'll do it." " We could do that." "At least I have a family, you crooked-nose fuck!" "Hey, uh, don't forget about my money." "I'm sorry, what's that?" "Yeah, I forgot to tell you." "He's got some..." " He's got some money." " My money." "I got a couple of mil coming in like a week." "When it gets in, I'll give you a call, you come pick it up." "You give me a call?" "When it gets here, I'll give you a call and you'll come pick it up." "Well, we don't fucking work for you, man!" "(SHUSHING) DONNIE:" "Sweetheart, you have my money taped to your tits." "Okay?" "Technically, you do work for me." "Hey, Jordan, we're gonna need to talk." "If I fucking do this, I'm telling you right now," "I ain't going to him, okay." " I'm not a fucking shvartze." " I got it." "I don't do fucking pickups, all right?" " I got it." " Well, listen to me." "We meet someplace that I fucking say." "And you tell that fucking piece of shit," " he comes correct." " I will." "He comes in all fucking loopy and fucked up, I swear to God" "I'll mash that douchebag's teeth in." "You're gonna mash whose fucking teeth in?" "Whose fucking teeth are you gonna mash in?" "I put the money on that fucking table!" "Not you!" "I'm the reason we have this whole fucking deal!" " He's got a gun, you fucking idiot!" " Fuck his gun!" "I put that money in there!" "You know what?" "You're a fucking pill dealer." "I got five more just like you, bro." "Keep talking, you fucking piece of shit!" "You know what else?" "You dress like shit!" "So fuck you!" " Fucking motherfucker!" " Oh!" "Jesus!" "How about that, faggot?" "Who's a faggot?" "JORDAN:" "You okay?" "Hey, pal." "The next day, Aunt Emma flew to Geneva." "Two million in cash in her carry-on, which in the big picture was a drop in the Swiss bucket." "'Cause the following month, over the course of six round trips," "Chantalle's family and friends smuggled in over 20 million in cash without even a hiccup." "(LAUGHS)" " And I have some more." " Really?" " Here." " Oh, thank you." "And here." "JEAN JACQUES:" "Welcome." "CHANTALLE:" "Welcome." "(GIGGLING)" " Yeah, like four bags of it." " Ooh!" "(LAUGHS)" "Are you Swiss-Slovakian or Swiss-Slovenian?" " Slovenian." " Slovenian?" "Who cares." "You're blonde." "Oh, stop." "(BRAKES SCREECHING)" "Shit." "Just put the fucking car in park, you dumb fucking idiot!" "I can't close this briefcase." "One fucking day." "One fucking day, you couldn't keep it together?" "I'm fucked up, Brad." " Gotta be fucking kidding me." " Fucked up." " It's a joke." " It's a joke?" " I'm sober." " Jesus fucking Christ!" "It's a fucking joke." " Are you fucking stupid?" " I'm not stupid." "You fucking drive in here like a fucking maniac, you know the attention that that fucking draws?" " I'm not stupid." "I'm smart." " Smart?" " I make million-dollar deals." " That right?" "With smart important people, unlike you." "People who don't sucker-punch people when they're scared." "Okay?" " I'm scared, huh?" " And by the way," "I haven't gotten an apology yet for that." "You want an apology, okay." "I check my fucking messages every day" " when I come home from work." " Did you?" " My answering machine." "Zero." " Didn't get one, huh?" "I got a blinking light, because I don't have shit from you." "You know what, you got a big fucking mouth, okay?" "I got my wife checking the messages every 45 minutes calling the office, saying," ""Has Brad apologized yet?"" ""Is there an apology message on the machine?"" "I don't have jack shit." "You know what?" "That's not how you treat people." "You got a big fucking mouth, you know." "I'm gonna give you a fucking pass." "Just give me the case." "(SCOFFS) You're gonna give me a pass?" "Look, it's a figure of fucking speech." "Oh, my gosh." "The Emperor of Fucksville came down from Fucksville to give me a pass!" "From Fucksville, huh?" "Hey, what are the citizens of Fucksville doing today when their Emperor's gone?" "Is it mayhem?" "Are people looting and raping?" "What are all the little fuckheads doing while you're here?" "Go fuck yourself!" "Give me the bag." "You back the fuck up." "I'll cause the biggest fucking scene that I've ever caused in my life if you come at me again." " You know what?" " Just fucking keep it down." "I got..." "I don't wanna be out of line or anything, but I think you like, like me." "Like you..." "Like when you come at me..." "What's the matter with you?" "What the fuck is... and you look at me." "I swear I just noticed it." "You have like a fucking, like..." "Like a twinkle." "You have like a twinkle." "Are you trying to kiss me, bro?" "Jesus fucking Christ." " What's with you?" " I have a..." "I don't know." " It's not a homophobic thing." " All right..." "You're just not the one for me, pal." "You know what I mean?" "It's not..." " it's not about that for me, you know." " I've heard enough." "Please, I'm begging, give me the fucking case." " I'm gonna give you the case." " Give me the case." " You gotta do me one favor." " What's that?" "You gotta take this case, you gotta drive straight home, need you to open up the briefcase, and you take out every single dollar." "Don't leave one dollar inside the briefcase." "And once you have it all neatly organized outside the briefcase," "I need you to take it and I need you to shove it right up your wife's Latvian cunt, you understand?" " My fucking wife!" " Chill!" "Chill, bro." "Fuck." "You motherfucking piece of shit!" "How about now?" "(SIREN WAILING)" " DONNIE:" "Go, go!" " BRAD:" "Fuck!" "(ENGINE STARTING)" "Motherfuck!" "You're fucking dead!" "Stop!" "Don't move!" "Don't move!" "Stop, or I will blow you the fuck away!" "Drop the case!" "Put your hands in the air!" "Get down." "(SCREAMS)" "Get down on your knees!" "Get down on your knees!" "Motherfucker!" "Motherfucker!" "Jordan, do I have a surprise for you!" "What's that?" "Twenty real Lemmons." "Retired pharmacist's client of mine, they've been in the safe for 15 years." "Are you fucking kidding me?" "Lemmons?" "Ha-ha!" "DONNIE:" "They're gonna knock us on our fucking heads." "JORDAN:" "When it comes to Quaaludes, the Lemmon 714 was the Holy Grail." " Can you believe it?" " Oh, my God." "DONNIE:" "I thought they were like a myth." "JORDAN:" "Three times as powerful as anything available today." "JORDAN:" "Look at these babies." "Boy, Donnie really knew how to celebrate." "He said he was saving these for a special occasion." "Like a birthday, or being clap free, or our money arriving safely in Switzerland." "(RETCHES)" "So that night," "I cleared my schedule and I rid my body of anything that could fuck with my high." "It was celebration time." "Okay." "Start off with one, see how it goes?" "My guy says all we'll need is one." "Here you go." " Salud!" " Cheers." "Maybe if I pull it again, it'll go down." "Steve!" "Steve!" "I gotta get out of here!" "Carl, I think I got it figured out." "It must be one pull for up and two pulls for down." "Okay." "Do you feel anything?" "No." "It's been 35 minutes." "Hmm." "Maybe we've built up a tolerance after all these years, huh?" "Hmm." "DONNIE:" "This is bullshit!" "My metabolism's pumping." "I can't feel shit!" "They're old." "You think they lost their potency, huh?" "Check the bottle!" "January '81." "They're fucking duds." "Fuck!" "Let's take, uh..." "Let's take two more each." " NAOMI:" "Jordan." " Yeah, baby." "What are you two retards doing?" "We're working out, honey." "Well, Bo Dietl's on the phone." "Okay." " Okay?" " Okay." "Hey, Bo, what's going on?" "Jordan, listen to me clearly." "I cannot talk to you on this phone," "I have to talk to you." "Get out of here." "What's going on?" "Listen to me!" "Leave the fucking house, Jordan, and then call me from a pay phone." "This is not a fucking joke, Jordan." "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah." " Shit." " What'd he say?" "I don't know what the fuck's going on." " I gotta go!" " Is everything okay, Jordan?" "JORDAN:" "The closest pay phone I could get to was at the Brookville Country Club." "It was a real WASP stronghold, just a mile down the road from my house." "Hey, Bo, what's up, it's me." "What's going on?" "I'm at a pay phone." "What's going on?" "Listen to me carefully." "Please." "Your little friend there, Brad, your little buddy, he's in jail." "What the fuck's he in jail for?" " What'd he do?" " I don't know what he did." "My friends in Long Island told me he got picked up in some fucking shopping mall." "He got locked up by..." "Wait, wait." "Did you..." "Did you say a shopping mall?" " Yeah." " He was with Donnie." "He was supposed to deliver some money," " then that fucking fat piece of shit..." " Listen to me!" "I gotta go fucking talk to him right now!" "Listen to me!" "Don't go!" "Listen to me."

"I got it." "Jordan." "You didn't try to bribe this fucking FBI agent, did you?" "No, I didn't try to bribe an FBI agent." "You think I'm that fucking stupid?" "No." "What the fuck did you say?" "I can't understand you." "Say that again." "I said..." "(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)" "What the fuck are you saying?" "(PANTING)" "I said..." "Are you fucking high?" "(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)" "Jordan, are you fucking high?" "Jordan, do me a favor, stay where you are." "Don't get behind the wheel of the car." "I'm gonna send Rocco over to pick you up." "Jordan!" "Jordan!" "JORDAN:" "After 15 years in storage, the Lemmons had developed a delayed fuse." "It took 90 minutes for these little fuckers to kick in." "But once they did..." "Pow!"

"She was three months behind on her rent." "And when she came to me and asked me for a job, she asked for a $5,000 advance just so she could pay her son's tuition." "And what'd I do, Kimmie?" "Go on, tell them." "You wrote me a check for $25,000." "That's right." "Thank you." "And you know why that is?" "It's because I believed in you."
