JORDAN
My name is Jordan Belfort. The year I turned 6, I made
49 million dollars as the head of my own brokerage firm which
really made me mad because it was three shy of a million a
week.

No the sides did in fact cure cancer. That is why
they cost so much.
DONNIE
You have my money taped to you, so technically you do
work for me.
DONNIE
Let me ask you this, si
r
—
had I been your broker for
the past three to four years and made you money on a
consistent basis, you probably wouldn’t say you need to think
about it, you’d probably say pick me up four thousand shares,
am I right?!
JORDAN
See that little black box
in front of you? It’s called
a telephone. I don’t care if you graduated from Harvard or
never got past fourth grade! That phone is the great
equalizer! There is no nobility in poverty. Are you behind on
your credit card bills? Good. Pick up the phone and
start
dialing. Is your landlord threatening to evict you? Good.
Pick up the phone and start dialing. I want you to deal with
your problems by becoming rich! Be aggressive! Be ferocious!
Be telephone terrorists!!
