Mark Hanna Quotes in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Mark Hanna: The name of the game, moving the money from the client's pocket to your pocket.

Jordan Belfort: But if you can make your clients money at the same time it's advantageous to everyone, correct?

Mark Hanna: No.

Mark Hanna: You gotta stay relaxed. Do you jerk off?

Jordan Belfort: Do I jerk off? Yeah.

Mark Hanna: How many times a week?

Jordan Belfort: Like, um, three or four. Three or four times, maybe five.

Mark Hanna: Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket. I myself, I jerk off at least twice a day.

Jordan Belfort: Wow.

Jordan Belfort: [to the waiter] Oh, I'm good with water for now.

Mark Hanna: It's his first day on Wall Street. Give him time.

Mark Hanna: 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 gonna go up, down, sideways or in fucking circles. Least of all, stockbrokers, right?

Mark Hanna: Nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways or in circles. You know what a fugazi is?"

Jordan Belfort: *Fugayzi*, it's a fake.

Mark Hanna: *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.

Mark Hanna: So if you've got a client who bought stock at 8 and now it's at 16 and he's all fucking happy, he wants to cash in and liquidate, take his fucking money and run home, you don't let him do that... 'cause that would make it real.

Mark Hanna: You jerk off?

Jordan Belfort: Do I... Do I I jerk off? Yeah, yeah I jerk off. Yeah.

Mark Hanna: How many times a week?

Jordan Belfort: Like, um, three or four. Three or four times, maybe five.

Mark Hanna: Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket. I myself, I jerk off at least twice a day.

Jordan Belfort: Wow.

Mark Hanna: Once in the morning, right after I work out, then once right after lunch.

Jordan Belfort: Really?

Mark Hanna: I want to. That's not why I do it. I do it 'cause I fucking *need* to. Think about it. You're dealing with numbers. All day long, decimal points, high frequencies. Bang, bang, bang.

[imitates squeaking]

Mark Hanna: fucking digits. All very acidic above-the-shoulders mustard shit. All right? It kind of wigs some people out. Right? You gotta feed the geese to keep the blood flowing. I keep the rhythm below the belt.

Jordan Belfort: Done.

Mark Hanna: This is not a tip, this is a prescription. Trust me. If you don't, you will fall out of balance, split your differential and tip the fuck over. Or worse yet, I've seen this happen, implode.

Jordan Belfort: No, I don't wanna implode, sir.

Mark Hanna: No. No, you don't.

Jordan Belfort: I'm in this for the long run, you know?

Mark Hanna: Implosions are ugly. Pop off to the bathroom, work one out any time you can. When you get really good at it, you'll fucking be stroking and you'll be thinking about money.

Mark Hanna: [about jerking off] I want to, but that's not why I do it. I do it because I fucking *need* to.

Mark Hanna: Mr. Hanna, you're able to do drugs during the day and then still function, still do your job?

Mark Hanna: How the fuck else are you supposed to do this job? Cocaine and hookers, my friend.

Mark Hanna: We don't start dialing at 9:30, because our clients are already answering the phone! 3... 2... 1, let's fuck!

Mark Hanna: We don't give two shits about how technology works, 'cause all we care about is getting fucking RICH!

Mark Hanna: Mmm, Tootski.

Mark Hanna: Second key to success in this racket is this little baby right here. It's called *cocaine.* It'll keep you sharp between the ears. It'll also help your fingers dial faster. And guess what? That's good for me.

Mark Hanna: [reacting to market crash] Holy... fucking... shit...
