I did have a preview of that tape before. Nick actually gave it to me and when he gave it to me, I thought he had mixed it up with one of his other videos, because to me it looks like a 1970s porno movie Debbie Does Dallas. (Nick and Ruth exchange amused looks)
Sir Alan Sugar
You seem to have gone from anchor to wanker! (to Mani Sandher)
Sir Alan Sugar
(on reading Jo Cameron's CV) Says here she used to train Financial Directors for MG Rover. No wonder they went bloody skint.
Sir Alan Sugar
Jo, you've been here too many times. It's a shame, but I thought you had more potential. But Jo, I'm sorry to say, this time, you're fired.
Jo Cameron: I thought I expected this, because I accept the fact I've been here four times, but I think that what that demonstrates is that I've got the resilience of a survivor. I'm happy to go out here on the basis of like, being crap, but I don't believe that I am...
Sir Alan Sugar: Jo, Jo. There comes a time when everybody - everybody - is saying the same thing, and even me, I will say 'You know what? Give it up Alan, enough's enough.' Jo, you're fired.
Jo Cameron: Can I just ask one more time just to give me one last chance?
Sir Alan Sugar: I'm afraid not. No I'm afraid not. That's it.
Sir Alan Sugar
Samuel, can I ask you a direct question?
Samuel Judah: Yes of course, Sir Alan.
Sir Alan Sugar: Do you think if you weren't there, it would have made any difference?
Sir Alan Sugar
Samuel, with your hands in your pockets, not a salesman...
(somewhat disdainfully) What did you do?
Samuel Judah: I contributed with the idea that...
Sir Alan Sugar: I tell you what. Do me a favor. Shut that book at the moment, I want to hear what you can do without your notes alright?
Samuel Judah: (reluctantly) Fine.
(he obeys)
Sir Alan Sugar: Shut the book, put your pen down and talk to me. Stop looking at notes, okay? What did you do?
Sir Alan Sugar
I'll promise you this. As sure as I've got a hole in my bloody arse, when it gets down to the Final Two, all these people who are saying nice things will not. (On Michelle and Ruth's friendship)
Sir Alan Sugar
Shut, UP!! (to Syed Ahmed)
Sir Alan Sugar
Syed...
Sir Alan Sugar
Am I asking you ventriloquist? I'm talking to him!
Sir Alan Sugar
I'm struggling with the situation but I've come to a conclusion and my conclusion is this: that Tuan, I'm afraid to say you had your chance. You didn't perform on this particular task so Tuan, you're fired!
Tuan Le: Thank you.
Sir Alan Sugar: Thank you
(Ruth and Tuan leave the boardroom but Syed remains seated)
Syed Ahmed: I mean, Sir Alan...
Sir Alan Sugar: Bye! (showing Syed the door) Ta-ra.
Sir Alan Sugar
But I'm also sorry to say, Syed, despite some flashes of genius, you're too much of a risk for me. Syed, you're fired.
Sir Alan
Paul on Paul.
Sir Alan Sugar
Let's talk about Ansell.
Claude Littner: When I saw his CV, I would have put it in the bin. But when I saw the man-I quite liked him.
Sir Alan Sugar
Never underestimate me because you will be making a fatal error. I don't like liars. I don't like cheats. I don't like bullshitters. I don't like schmoozers and I don't like arse-lickers.
