I came through this dialogue from the movie:-"The wolf of wall street" and I think it should be grammatically correct if it were like this:-"Sell this pen to me.'

Am I wrong?
 
It is OK either way.

There is nothing wrong with the original.

Sell this pen to me.
Sell me this pen.

Give that pen to me.
Give me that pen.

Pass the glass to me.
Pass me the glass.
