Martin Scorsese’s 2013 movie, The Wolf of Wall Street, tells the real-life story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort. Throughout the film, we meet many of his friends and associates, like his partner, Donnie Azoff, and their friends Alden, Chester, and Robbie. Though one of the most memorable characters in this movie is Jordan’s second wife, Naomi Lapaglia.
Naomi, played by Margot Robbie, is a Brooklyn socialite that Jordan leaves his wife for. The character is known for her big blowouts with her husband and her uncaged sexuality. This, of course, gave the audience some very humorous and intense bits of dialogue.
"You Wanna Come Up For Some Tea Or Something?"
After Jordan went out for dinner with Naomi as “friends,” he couldn't get her off his mind. As they pulled up in front of her house, the two sat there silently. Jordan's thoughts raced, desperately trying to find a way to get invited inside. Naomi then said, “You wanna come up for some tea or something?”
This line shows that Naomi is on the exact same page as Jordan. She knew what was going to happen after she had dinner with him, even if he is a married man.
"F**k Off Rocky! Bad Dog!"
During an intimate moment together, Jordan and Naomi are interrupted by Naomi’s chihuahua, Rocky, nipping at Jordan’s feet.
Jordan has to stop and asks Naomi if she can throw him a biscuit or something. Naomi very eloquently yells at the pup “F**k off Rocky! Bad dog!” The threat doesn’t seem to work, as barking can still be heard as the couple continues.
"Don’t You Duchess Me!"
After Jordan and Naomi marry, the movie flashes forward 18 months. Jordan is asleep in bed when Naomi throws a cup of water on his face. She starts demanding to know who Venice is. Jordan plays dumb and tries to appeal to her by calling her by her nickname, “The Duchess of Bay Ridge.” Naomi replies by shouting “Don’t you Duchess me!”
After this interaction, the audience knows exactly how the last 18 months went for the newlyweds. The couple, once obsessed with each other, is now constantly at each other's throats.
"That Was The Last Time ..."
Towards the end of the movie, Jordan’s life has completely fallen apart. The FBI is close to indicting him, his associates and friends are being arrested, and he has to wear an ankle monitor. Completely depressed, he desperately tries to sleep with Naomi. She tells him to do it like it's the last time.
It turns out that she wasn’t exaggerating, as when they finish she says, “That was the last time we ever have sex,” and asks for a divorce, finally bringing their dysfunctional relationship to an end.
"You’re A Father Now And You’re Still Acting Like An Infant!"
During their big argument about Venice, Jordan frantically tries to cover his infidelity by telling Naomi that he was actually investing in Venice, California. Naomi doesn’t buy it and tells him that he knows exactly what he's up to. She yells “You’re a father now and you’re still acting like an infant!”
This line perfectly sums up Jordan Belfort. The stockbroker now has a family to care about, but still acts like a reckless young man with nothing to lose. He continues to sleep with women and partake in an alarming amount of drugs and risky illegal business practices.
"From Now On, It's Going To Be Nothing But Short, Short Skirts Around The House."
After they argue about Jordan’s infidelity, he confronts Naomi in their baby daughter’s bedroom. He tries to apologize, but Naomi assures him that he won’t be able to touch her for a long time. She follows up this statement with “From now on, it's going to be nothing but short, short skirts around the house.”
Using her sexuality as a weapon, she is able to bring Jordan to his knees, taking back her power in their relationship. That is until Jordan points out that their security guards can see up her dress with the nanny cam.
"You Didn’t … Deal With The F***ing Golf Course People!"
Naomi screams at Jordan because his helicopter ruined the new grass on their golf course. She yells “You didn’t research the whole thing and deal with the f**king golf course people!” To which Jordan sarcastically replies, “Oh my God! You had to deal with the golf course people too? What a Greek tragedy, Honey!”
This quote shows the audience that even though she hates Jordan’s disloyalty and reckless habits, she has become too comfortable being the wife of a rich stockbroker. No matter what stupid act Jordan commits, Naomi will stay with him as long as she gets to keep living in her current lifestyle.
"What Are You? A F***ing Owl?"
When Naomi woke up Jordan by splashing water in his face and immediately hit him with the “Who’s Venice?” question, Jordan was only coherent enough to reply “Who? Who? Who?” To which Naomi says “Who? What are you? A f***ing owl?”
It's hilarious to listen to Naomi somehow keep a sense of humor while she is neck-deep in an augment about her husband cheating on her. And even though this line is funny, Margot Robbie still delivers the appropriate amount of rage with it.
"You Think I Would Let My Kids Near You? Look At Yourself!"
After Naomi tells Jordan that she wants a divorce, she also informs him that she plans on taking full custody of the kids. Jordan then goes ballistic. He yells at Naomi, slaps her, rips open a couch cushion, pulls out a bag of cocaine, and immediately begins to snort it. Naomi walks in and says, “You think I would let my kids near you? Look at yourself!”
This line conveys that the one thing that Naomi really cares for is her children and she can’t allow Jordan’s downward spiral to ruin their lives. If only she had realized that years ago.
"We’re Not Gonna Be Friends."
When Jordan takes Naomi to dinner, she expresses confusion as to why a married man would take another woman out to eat. Jordan says “What? Married people can’t have friends?” Naomi replies, “We’re not gonna be friends.”
Naomi knew what she was doing from the moment she answered his call. She knew Jordan was married and she knew that she was going to sleep with him anyway. There was no point in beating around the bush. They both knew that this was much more than a dinner between friends.
