Chester, who sold tires and weed. And Robbie, who sold anything he can get his hands on, mostly weed. This is Brad, and Brad is the guy I really wanted. But he didn't go along with us. He was making so much money selling Quaaludes that he become the Quaalude King of Bayside.

[stops and chuckles]

Naomi: You were calling her name in your sleep!
Jordan: Are you out of your fucking mind? I don't even know who Venice is. What the fuck does that even mean? Venice. That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard in my fucking life!
[after flashback of sex with Venice]
Jordan: That's right. That's right, I forgot. Donnie and I were investing in a condominium complex in Venice. That's why all this confusion.

Jordan: Oh my God! You had to deal with the gold course people, too! What a Greek tragedy honey! Oh my God! You probably had to pay them in cash with your hands! What a fucking burden! And actually do some work besides swiping my fucking credit card all day, huh? Because I can't keep track of your professions, honey. Last month you were a wine connoisseur, now you're an aspiring landscape architect. Let me get that right.
Naomi: Fuck you!
Jordan: Don't fucking dare throw that fucking water at me. Don't you fucking dare.

Jordan: [when asked who is Captain Ahab] The book, motherfucker, the book!

Jordan: On a daily basis I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens for a month. I take Quaaludes 10-15 times a day for my "back pain", Adderall to stay focused, Xanax to take the edge off, pot to mellow me out, cocaine to wake me back up again, and morphine... Well, because it's awesome. But of all the drugs under God's blue heaven, here is one that is my absolute favorite. See, enough of this shit will make you invincible - able to conquer the world.

That's not how you treat people.
Brad: You gotta be a fucking pal... You know what, I'm gonna give you a fucking pass, just give me the case.
Donnie: You're gonna give me a pass?
Brad: Look, it's a figure of fucking speech, just give me the fucking...
Donnie: Oh my God, the emperor of Fucksville came down from Fucksville to give me a pass! Hey, what are the citizens of Fucksville doing today when their emperor's gone? Is it, is it mayhem? Are people looting and raping? What are all the little fuckheads doing while you're here?

Jordan: This right here is the land of opportunity. This is America. This is my home! The show goes on!

Mark: How many times a week?
Jordan: Like, um, three or four. Three or four times, maybe five.

Jordan: Wow.
Mark: Once in the morning, right after I work out. And then once right after lunch.
Jordan: Really?
Mark: I want to. That's not why I do it. I do it cause I fuckin' need to.

Jordan: People say shit... I mean like, you married your cousin or some stupid shit.
Donnie: Yeah, my wife is my cousin or whatever, but it's not like what you think.
Jordan: Is she like, a first cousin?
Donnie: Her father is the brother of my mom. Like, we grew up together, and she grew up hot, you know, she fucking grew up hot. And all my friends are trying to fuck her, you know, and I'm not gonna let one of these assholes fuck my cousin. So I used the cousin thing, as like, an in with her. I'm not like, gonna let someone else fuck my cousin, you know? If anyone's gonna fuck my cousin, it's gonna be me. Out of respect.

Patrick: Most of the Wall Street jackasses that I bust, they're to the manor born. Their fathers are douchebags, just like their fathers before them. But you... You, Jordan, you got this way all on your own.
Jordan: Did I?
Patrick: Good for you, little man.
Jordan: Little man?
[laughs]
Jordan: Me, the little man?
Patrick: 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.
Jordan: I bet it is.
Patrick: And you wanna know what I was just thinking too? The fucking hero 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! It's beautiful! And you got the beautiful girls there. It's wonderful.
Jordan: [laughing] All right, get the fuck off my boat.
Patrick: I'm sure we'll be seeing each other real soon.
Jordan: 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.

Jordan: [throwing money at the FBI agents] Fun coupons!

Mark: Number one rule of Wall Street. Nobody - and I don't care if you're Warren Buffet or if you're Jimmy Buffet - nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways or in circles. You know what a fugazi is?
Jordan: Fugayzi, it's a fake.
Mark: Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real.

Jordan: [in thoughts] What I'm asking, you Swiss dick, is are you going to fuck me over?
Jean: [also in thoughts] I understand perfectly, you American shit.
Jean: Ça depend.

Jordan: My name is Jordan Belfort. I'm a former member of the middle class raised by two accountants in a tiny apartment in Bayside, Queens. The year I turned 26, as the head of my own brokerage firm, I made $49 million, which really pissed me off because it was three shy of a million a week.

Jordan: Hello, John. How are you doing today? You mailed in my company a postcard a few weeks back, requesting information on penny stocks that had huge upside potential with very little downside risk. Does that ring a bell?
John: Yeah, I may have sent something.
Jordan: Okay, great. The reason for the call today, John, is something just came across my desk, John. It is perhaps the best thing I've seen in the last six months. If you have 60 seconds, I'd like to share the idea with you. You got a minute?
John: Actually, I'm really very...
Jordan: The name of the company, Aerotyne International. It is a cutting edge high-tech firm out of the Midwest, awaiting imminent patent approval on the next generation of radar detectors that have both huge military and civilian applications. Now, right now, John, the stock trades over-the-counter at 10 cents a share. And by the way, John, our analysts indicate it could go a heck of a lot higher than that. Your profit on a mere $6,000 investment could be upwards of $60,000!
John: Jesus! That's my mortgage, man.
Jordan: Exactly. You could pay off your mortgage.
John: This stock will pay off my house?
Jordan: John, one thing I can promise you, even in this market, is that I never ask my clients to judge me on my winners. I ask them to judge me on my losers, because I have so few. And in the case of Aerotyne, based on every technical factor out there, John, we are looking at a grand slam home run.
John: Okay, let's do it. I'll do four grand.
Jordan: $4,000? That'd be 40,000 shares, John. Let me lock in that trade right now and get back to you with my secretary with an exact confirmation. Sound good, John?
John: Yeah, sounds good.
Jordan: Great. Hey, John. Thank you for your vote of confidence and welcome to the Investor's Center.

Max: $430,000 in one month, Jordy. Huh?
Jordan: They're business expenses.
Max: Jordy, look what you've got here. Look at this! $26,000 for one fucking dinner!
Jordan: No, no, this can be explained. Dad, we had clients, Pfizer clients. Champagne.
Nicky: The porterhouse from Argentina.
Jordan: Expensive champagne and the what, we had to buy champagne.
[to Donnie]
Jordan: And you brought in all the sides... Tell him about the sides.
Donnie: I ordered the sides, so...
Max: Sides? Sides? $26,000 worth of sides? What are these sides? They cure cancer?
Donnie: The sides did cure cancer, that's the problem, that's why they were so expensive.
Jordan: [bursting into laughter] Shut the fuck up!
Donnie: I'm serious.

Max: Jordy, one of these days the chickens are gonna come home to roost.
Jordan: You're lookin' at me like I'm crazy.
Max: Crazy? This is obscene!
Jordan: [voice over] It was obscene, in the normal world. I mean, who the fuck wanted to live there?
