something you must not do
Jordan admits in voiceover that the scheme was illegal, yet the money made it worth it to him.
which legally speaking was a big no-no, but we'd get filthy fucking rich if our troops got behind it.The Wolf of Wall Street · 2013 — 第 14 / 30 章 · 3'15" · B2
Jordan turns a shoe designer into a prophet and then turns on his own brokers. The message of the pep talk is simple: "They're not gonna dial themselves." The phones are worthless without the salesmen, so the salesmen have to become killers who never take no for an answer.
Steve Madden visits the Stratton Oakmont office to show off the Mary Lou, the shoe that made his name. Jordan takes the stage, calls him a creative genius, compares him to Armani and Chanel, and tells the brokers that Madden is their golden ticket. Then he pivots: the phones in front of them are useless unless they pick them up and refuse to lose.

Jordan praises his brokers as killers who never stop at a client's refusal.
My killers, who will not take no for an answer!end a call
My fucking warriors, who will not hang up the phone until their client either buysThe loudest thing in the room is the flattery, and that is the joke. Jordan compares a mid-range shoe designer to Armani and Chanel and piles on praise so over-the-top that the room laughs — the real product he is selling to his own staff is energy. Once everyone is worked up, he drops the act and points at the phones: 'They're not gonna dial themselves.' That line is the scene's thesis. Without the brokers, the phones are 'just worthless hunks of plastic'; with them, they become weapons for his 'killers, who will not take no for an answer.' Madden is the bait; the pitch is aimed inward.
They're not gonna dial themselves. Okay?Jordan's punchline as he points at the phones: the equipment does nothing on its own, so the brokers are the ones who have to make the calls.
My killers, who will not take no for an answer!He calls his sales force 'killers' and tells them a client's refusal is not an ending, just something to push past.
This is the Mary Lou, which is really the shoe that put me on the map.Steve Madden credits this single shoe with making his name — the design that turned an unknown into a hot brand.
Without you, they're just worthless hunks of plastic.His argument that the phones are nothing without the salesmen: the people, not the equipment, are what actually make the money.
It's the Steve Madden shoe that made his name. He tells the brokers it 'put me on the map,' which also explains why Jordan treats him as such a valuable partner.
It's flattery, and everyone knows it's over the top. Jordan is using a visiting designer's fame to fire up his brokers, so he inflates Madden into a fashion legend.
He means his salesmen. He wants them to be relentless on the phone — to treat a client's refusal as something to overcome, never as the end of the call.
Not a shoe. He is selling his own brokers on the phones in front of them, using Steve Madden as proof that the firm is on the verge of something huge.
To make the brokers feel essential: without them dialing and pushing, the phones earn nothing. It's motivation dressed up as a compliment to the staff.
