Sir Alan Sugar

(to Renaissance) You made one, not one, The biggest error. The biggest error going: I don't know what your bloody advert's about! I do not know what it's about! It doesn't mention the word "tissues" once in the voice-over, you've got this little box of tissues down the bottom that... and a little strap-line down the bottom and it would not sell any tissues. It might make me or my grandmother or my auntie smile and look at the little kid crying and think "Ahhhh" like that but it ain't gonna make me look for those on the shelf! You lost! I'm sorry, you lost and it's not my opinion. This is the opinion of the three professionals I consulted today, and I am so frustrated because you did 90-5% of the work! A much better cinema-graphic, representation than these people. Much, much better but I'm sorry, you lost!

(To Alpha) You won because your horrible advert, your horrible box threw it in the people's face, the actor there was talking about tissues three times, he brought out the anti-bacterial thing which is one of the points that I wanted to mention. You had the box in big shot, in the picture, on the mum's lap, you had it again somewhere else and at the end pack shot you had it there. (tapping Alpha's box) That's the thing I'm gonna remember. You won, so well done.

Sir Alan Sugar

Helene your posture, not being disrespectful or rude, you remind me of the portrait of the Mona Lisa in which there's this one sole expression with you all the time.

Sir Alan Sugar

Lucinda, I'm afraid to say you're a little bit too zany for me, a little bit too unconventional for me. And so, Lucinda, with regret, you're fired!

Sir Alan Sugar

(to Claire after he fires Lucinda and has listened to her reason as to why she should stay) I'm gonna let you stay.

(to the other candidates)

In fact, I'm gonna let you all stay.

(sighs of relief from Helene and Lee)

And the reason for that, is because you're all very, very good candidates I think. You've all got something in you. And so, all four of you are in the final.

Sir Alan Sugar

You think you can play and second guess me? Well let me tell you - I am as hard to play as a Stradivarius. And you lot, I can tell you, are as easy to play as bongo drums!

Sir Alan Sugar

(to James when questioning him on his CV) When you wake up in the morning you can taste success in your spit" is that right? ... What did you have, a curry last night?

Sir Alan Sugar

(to James) Who do you think should get fired?

James McQuillan: Out of the three of us? I think you should fire the pair of them.

Sir Alan Sugar

Rocky, you make sandwiches for a living, you've got these 15 shops, you employ 150 people... To come in with a loss is, inconceivable as far as I'm concerned.

Rocky Andrews: I'm embarrassed and very disappointed-

Sir Alan Sugar: Embarrassed?

Sir Alan Sugar

Maj, general feeling among my two colleagues here is that you just hand around on the periphery. You don't actually do anything.

Sir Alan Sugar

(to Paula’s excuse that she's no good with numbers) You know how to work out redundancy on a calculator, don't you?

Sir Alan Sugar

(questioning the bright green box design) It wouldn’t have looked out of place in the fertilisers section or the cat food.
