Jordan Belfort

So anyway, I write this-

He lost that night, like probably 4 million.

But over the next six months, everything, he was like just, and then he lost his job.

And he came back to again and became rich again with Jordache jeans.

Brilliant Garmento, this guy.

Like no one, he was brilliant, but so self-destructive really, but unbelievably smart and talented, charismatic, right?

But anyway, so this-

scene that starts when we fly there with all the hookers, right?

And someone gets shot in the knee along the way, no big deal.

New York cops are with us, protecting us.

The whole thing's just like, and I write the whole thing.

It's like 22 pages in excruciating detail of everything that happened, all right?

Down to Elliot taking my money and then imploding and then he drowns in my pool and I save him.

It's a whole thing, right?

And I send the pages to my publisher, Diane Perez.

And I'm waiting for one issue to say about that, you know, right?

And then maybe like five to four years later, I get back and I open up and she's on the front page.

I just don't think other human beings will understand that.

The only thing I look at is an X here, an X there, and the whole thing.

So in my first book, The Wolf of Wall Street, right?
