(after Venture 'win' the task) I had a treat lined up for you by helicopter down to Goodwood and then ride around in some vintage cars (Slight smile from Susan while Natasha and Jim see what's coming...) but you can forget that. You've won okay? But there's no balls, no guts, no reinvestment. Just get back to the house and I'll see you on the next task.
Tom, maybe there is some legs in offering a chair.
Tom, you are gonna become my business partner. Tom, you're hired!
Tom Pellerau: (quietly) Brilliant!
Helen Milligan: (also quietly) Well done Tom.
Tom Pellerau: Thank you Lord Sugar.
(Tom leaves the Viglen building and as he does so he runs forward slightly and punches the sky)
YES!
(He claps his hands in victory)
Yes!
(as he approaches Lord Sugar's Rolls-Royce, Tom takes his glasses off and gives one more celebratory gesture)
(having listened to Bilyana giving reasons why she should stay) Listen, I don't want to hear about your life.
Bilyana Apostolova: I'm just...
Lord Suagr: Lots of people got great stories to tell me. I don't want to bring out the violin and listen to your sob story.
Is everything clear?
The candidates: Yes, Lord Sugar.
(Lord Sugar soon turns to Michael)
Lord Sugar: You look like your sweating. You're not nervous, are you?
Michael Copp: No, not at all. Not really.
Lord Sugar: (unconvinced) You sure?
(on Jenna's disastrous video advert) I know you're out there trying to impress me, and I also know I might remind you a little of Sid James, but I didn't ask you to make a Carry On Boozing movie. I was expecting any one moment there, Kenneth Williams to pop in and say "Ooh, maître d’, where's me Grandeur gone? Someone's nicked me Grandeur!" It's a total bloody joke! I don't know what you were thinking!
Stephen, you are this close to going outside that door!
Stephen Brady: If I was project manager again, I would definitely deliver another victory and most importantly...
Lord Sugar: Definitely?
Stephen Brady: I would definitely deliver another victory, I'd actually put my, erm, well put anything that I have on me right now on that...
Lord Sugar: You've thrown the gauntlet down. You are the project manager next, and I expect you to win!
(To Stephen moments before firing him) You asked me for the chance to be the Project Manager, I gave you the chance. You told me you were going to win, you didn't win. You lost!
(to Adam Corbally before firing him)I think it's time for you to leave this process(Smile from Adam) You're Fired!
Adam Corbally: Thank you Lord Sugar!
Lord Sugar: I wish you all the best Adam. And I hope you do very well.
Adam Corbally:Thank you very much.
Lord Sugar: And keep in touch.
Adam Corbally: (before he leaves) If you ever need a salesman, you know where I am!
I am not 'man'. I am Lord Sugar.
Ladies, who's gonna be the project manager?
Jaz Ampaw-Farr: I am!
I've got a pile of CVs here. It's full of the usual BS! I'm sick and tired of that bloody rubbish to be quite honest with you, 'cause actions speak louder than words!
How do you send people to a brewery that don't drink? In Zee's case particularly, he is as dry as a cream cracker in the bleeding Sahara Desert!
I'm sitting here thinking to myself, you're all a bloody waste of space at the moment. I mean, the basic fundamentals; counting, calculations, locations, where you are going to sell. These are very elementary things.
This is simple multiplications, it is not rocket science.
