(to the losing team) In the task, you got covered in bullshit. Now you know how I feel, when I listen to some of the rubbish that comes out in the boardroom.

Lines by Lord Sugar 102
(on Connexus' third appearance in the boardroom) Okay, let me tell you this. Normally, I set this task at eight o'clock in the morning and I tell people to be back here 6 o'clock the same day. You had the whole of overnight and all that time to think about where you were going and what you were doing. Not organized!
(to Joseph) I suppose you, Valentino, would go after the mirror. You probably spent half your time looking in it.
Vana, it's hard for me to justify how you can remain in the process, because of the failure of this task. But, Jenny, I'm yet to see any actual achievements, anything one can pin down to you and say, "well, actually, that was very, very good." So, I'm having less of a problem here. Jenny, you're fired!
Jenny Garbis: Okay. Well, I really appreciate the opportunity, I'm very disappointed not to have been able to show you what I'm really capable of, Lord Sugar, because I do think I have the capability to win this process. Many of the other candidates in the house said they were worried I was going to be in the final with them. I'm really sorry I haven't been able to show you that, but good luck, guys. Thank you.
(to Mergim before firing him) It is a difficult one. Look, Mergim I'm going to say this to you: I don't think you have the potential, at this moment in time, of being my business partner, I really don't. But carry on with your dreams okay? It is with sincere regret Mergim, that you're fired.
Mergim Butaja: Thanks a lot for the opportunity guys. Thank you.
(Mergim gets up and starts to leave)
Lord Sugar: (as Mergim goes out the door) And we'll stay in touch.
Mergim Butaja: (turns round to face Lord Sugar one last time.) Thank you Lord Sugar.
(Mergim turns and goes out the door)
(to Elle minutes before firing her) In your day job, you organize the construction of basements. Well in this particular task, you've dug yourself a very, very big hole. You're Fired!
(on Versatile's party after they lose the task) It was supposed to be fun. It seemed to me more like an Ofsted inspection.
(after Scott leaves) This process is all about people who perform. At least another one of you will be leaving the process today.
(Versatile are dismissed)
Karren Brady: He clearly knows he's out of his depth.
Lord Sugar: He didn't deserve to stay in this process. He really didn't. Listening to you...
Karren Brady: Oh, he's gone!
Claude Littner: He's been floundering for weeks really.
(On Charleine's business plan) Expecting her to become as big as Toni & Guy is like expecting Claude to grow an afro.
You've got more cheek than Kim Kardashian, I think.
Why don't you tell me one last time Joseph, why you think you should be my business partner?
Joseph Valente: Lord Sugar, I once read a book that changed my life. The title of that book was "What you See is What you Get." and I saw the author of that book and what I'm saying to you is what you see is what you get. I've got ten years experience in this industry, I'm driven, passionate, and hard working. through these last 12 weeks I've jumped through hoops to try and prove to you time and time again that I can adapt and change, I do need investment I do need mentoring. But with that combination I will make a million pounds within five years, there's no doubt about that. And I hope you can see me as a person and I hope you buy into me.
Technology has been my best friend for over 50 years...but maybe it's time to make new friends. And so Joseph, you are going to be my business partner!
If you want to moan, you can send me an email at "LordSugar@idon'tcare. com"
(To Oliver who runs a sausage business) Are you Porkos, Greek god of sausages?
You like to be known as "The Big K"? Is that right?
Karthik Nagesan: The Big K to friends and fans but you can call me K.
