Lines by Lord Sugar 102
SLord Sugar
Scott, who are you going to bring back into this boardroom?
Scott McCulloch: It's quite an even split I would say, (confused look from Lord Sugar) I had a good idea with regards to my industry, my skill set and I wanted to understand...
Lord Sugar: Yeah, I'm not hearing any names here...
Karren Brady: Scott, if you spent less time covering your arse and more time answering questions, we might get some names for Lord Sugar!
Scott McCulloch: I'm gonna bring back in Daniel and Solomon.
(Daniel scoffs Scott's choice)
Lord Sugar: Daniel and Solomon.
Daniel Lassman: 'Cause James just said it.
Lord Sugar: The rest of you, need to take a good long look at yourselves because at the moment you are a total shambles! A complete and utter shambles!
SLord Sugar
Daniel, one of your day jobs is pub quizzes so here's a question. What's the point of a pitch meeting? Answer: To get orders.

[after watching Summit's video]I suppose you guys think that's funny. James, when you sent in your CV, you said you got no qualifications? You got your first qualification because you come across as a grade-A pillock
SLord Sugar
(To Sarah on her credentials as a hypnotherapist) ...Erectile dysfunction...Don't look her in the eyes, Nick.
SLord Sugar
(to Tenacity) The only way you lot are going viral is if you kiss someone with the bloody flu!
SLord Sugar
(to James) If Anne Boleyn's neck had been as thick as you are, she might still be alive.
SLord Sugar
(moments before firing James) James, what I want to say to you is this: Culture, that bit of good stuff about you and you will go somewhere. You will go somewhere. But it is with regret James, that I'm going to have to say to you, You're Fired!
James Hill: (showing signs of defeat) Thank you Lord Sugar and Nick, Karren, I've really enjoyed this experience. Good luck guys, alright?
Roisin Hogan: (quietly) Good luck James.
James Hill:Alright, Thank you. Cheers.(James leaves the boardroom)
Lord Sugar: Good luck.
SLord Sugar
Katie, you know nothing about running a restaurant!
Katie Bulmer-Cooke: I've worked in a restaurant from the age of 15. As a waitress, I've worked front of house, I've worked back of house...
Lord Sugar: Yeah, I've been to MacDonald's also.
SLord Sugar
Solomon, you are a very intelligent young man, but when I appraise your business plan and think about us working together I'm struggling a little bit. Claude reckons you're gonna go somewhere one day...But not now. Solomon, you're fired!
Solomon Akhtar: Okay, thank you very much.
Nick Hewer: Good luck.
Solomon Akhtar:Thank you.
(before he leaves he turns to face Lord Sugar)
Can I say? I actually really enjoyed the process, and thanks for being fair I think. Nick and Karren you've been very fair and Lord Sugar throught the process. So thank you.
SLord Sugar
Daniel, I don't think we're gonna go into business together. But I do wish you well and it is with regret, Daniel you're fired! And Daniel I think, you are a better man than when you walked in the doors here eleven weeks ago and I congratulate you on you changing your manner and I do hope that you carry on that way and that you have learned and gleamed something from it.
Daniel Lassman: Yeah, absolutely. (Daniel gets up to leave) Thank you very much for your time.
SLord Sugar
You would back Bianca 100%?
SLord Sugar
(to Dan Callaghan) Get your hands out of your pockets!
(Dan obeys)
Welcome to the boardroom. Over here you see an empty chair. So we have a new colleague of mine assisting me here, and if you think this process is tough it's just got a whole lot tougher!
(Brief pause, then the door opens and Claude Littner takes the seat to Lord Sugar's right. He scowls at the candidates) Welcome, Claude.
SLord Sugar
Claude, perhaps you'd let me know about Versatile?
Claude Littner: Their total sales amounted to £467.50, their costs were £267.21, yielding a profit of £200.29.
Lord Sugar: Okay. Karren, same thing for Connexus.
Karren Brady: Sales: £343.53, Costs: £341.66 (celebratory signs from Mergim, Gary and Charleine) making a pathetic profit of only £1.87.
SLord Sugar
(when Connexus return to the boardroom) Well, to come in with £1.87, it's abysmal! Late in the kitchen, late at the location, lunch time; you turn up at 1:30, you may as well forget it!
SLord Sugar
(on Team Connexus' digital billboard) You're rotating like a kebab, Ruth.
