In The Wolf of Wall Street, why did the hero say, "How many shots of penicillin do you need to have sex?"? Because penicillin was expensive at that time, highlighting luxury? Or green?

In the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", Donald Foer, the hero, talks about investment opportunities with his clients, and mentions that he needs a few injections of penicillin before he can invest. What he means by this sentence is that he needs to confirm his health first to ensure that he has enough physical strength and energy to deal with high-intensity investment transactions.

Penicillin was a very effective antibiotic at that time, which could treat many different types of infections. But it will take some time to take effect, so it needs multiple injections. In addition, because of the high production cost, penicillin was an expensive drug at that time, so it was also regarded as a luxury.

Therefore, Donald Foer, the leading actor, mentioned that he needed a few injections of penicillin to invest. This may be to show his clients that he is highly concerned and attached importance to health, but it may also imply that this drug has high cost and high status, so as to highlight his luxury and high-end lifestyle.
