Jordan Belfort
- [voiceover] 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 dollars, which really pissed me off because it was three shy of a million a week.
- Yup. On a daily basis, I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens for a month.
- I take Quaaludes 10 to 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.
- [voiceover] See, money doesn’t just buy a better life, better food, better cars, better pussy. It also makes you a better person. You can give generously to the church or a political party of your choice.
- Her pussy was like heroin to me. And it wasn’t just about the sex either. Naomi and I got along. I mean, we had similar interests and shit.
- An IPO is an initial public offering. It’s a first time a stock is offered for sale to the general population. Now as the firm taking the company public, we set the initial sales price, then sold those shares right back to our friends. The i- Look, I-I know you’re not following what I’m saying anyway, right? That’s-that’s okay. That doesn’t matter. The real question is this: was all this legal? Absolutely fucking not. But we were making more money than we knew what do with.
- Let me tell you something. There’s no nobility in poverty. I’ve been a poor man, and I’ve been a rich man. And I choose rich every fucking time.
- This right here is the land of opportunity. This is America. This is my home! The show goes on! [quoting from Norma Rae] They’re gonna need to send in the National Guard to take me out, cos I ain’t going nowhere!
- FYI boys, Danielle has promised to use this $10,000 for breast implants. She’s already got C-cups but now she wants FUCKIN’ DOUBLE D’S!
Donnie Azoff

- 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 lauding and raping? What are all the little fuckheads doing while you’re here?
- Jordan: You guys hungry? Want something to eat? We got some, uh, pasta, shrimp, lobster. I got whiskey, any kind of booze you want.
- Denham: You know what? The Bureau doesn’t allow us to drink while we’re at sea.
- Jordan: Duh!
- Denham: Most of the Wall Street jackasses I bust are douchebags, just like their fathers before them. But you… you, Jordan, got this way all on your own.
- Jordan: Did I?
- Denham: Good for you, little man.
- Jordan: Me, the little man?
- Denham: Let me tell you something else. This is one of the nicest boats I’d ever been on. I gotta tell ya.

- Jordan: No, there’s no alcohol. That’s the fuckin’ point.
- Donnie: I’m not a scientist; I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. I can get you beer if you want fuckin’ beer.
- Jordan: I know, but I don’t drink, remember? I don’t drink anymore?
