Lines by Sir Alan Sugar 89
Sir Alan Sugar(to Philip) With all this bravado that you've got, when you soar like an eagle you know, you attract a hunter. And at the moment I feel like I've got a 12-bore shotgun in my hand, do you understand? Because you're coming across a little bit laid back and cocky to me so you tell me why I shouldn't fire you.
Phillip Taylor: Right, bottom line is I'm just a bloke from Durham who sells house with a big head. And what I'm saying is that none of these two can win this competition. They can't win it! I can win this!
Sir Alan Sugar: Who should get fired then?
Phillip Taylor: (to Kimberly despite his animosity with Lorraine) You know what? I think we've settled our differences with Lorraine, but I think you're that naive you've brought me back here I'm frankly disgusted. I think you should go.
Sir Alan Sugar
You valued the skeleton, right?
Noorul Choudhury: Right.
Sir Alan Sugar: I'll tell you what, the bleeding skeleton could have done a better job than the lot of you! You got it valued at the right price, why did you sell it at that ridiculous price?
Nick Hewer: It probably wasn't going at all until Ben stepped in and closed the deal.
Noorul Choudhury: I disagree with the fact that you say that Ben closed the deal...
Nick Hewer: I'm sure of it.
Noorul Choudhury: I was in conversation with the guy the whole time...
Sir Alan Sugar: Ben, who closed the deal, you or him?
Ben Clarke: I just said, "will you take sixty quid," I just stepped in to get the job done.
Noorul Choudhury: The money did exchange in my hands.
Nick Hewer: (rolls eyes) Well, maybe it did. But he closed the deal.
Sir Alan Sugar: What, was you the cashier?
Sir Alan Sugar
(to Debra) You find another way of addressing yourself, right? And stop talking to him like he’s a second class citizen.
Sir Alan Sugar
(after his latest firing) I've got this feeling about Noorul. All I can say is, whoever employs him, better get a receipt.
Sir Alan Sugar
I don't know what you're smiling for. A loss is a loss.
Sir Alan Sugar
Listen, don't get impatient with me, Philip.
Philip Taylor: I'm not, Sir Alan, it's just that I can't seem to do anything right. I criticise Lorraine, and I get it in the neck. I win as project manager, and I get it in the neck. I can't do anything right! I think I've been one of the outstanding candidates in the past few weeks, and I've had--
Sir Alan Sugar: Listen, look! You know the Body Rocker thing? I dunno if this bleeding thing's gone to your head or what. Okay, you done well there, yeah. Okay. But that's it! One swallow don't make a summer, you understand? Since then, you ain't done that great, in my mind.
Philip Taylor: Well, I sold three items last week, Sir Alan!
Nick Hewer: Tell us about Pantsman.
(long silence)
Sir Alan Sugar
Philip, I think I'm clearing my mind that your bravado and attitude ain't gonna fit in my organization. So Philip, You're Fired!
(Philip shakes his head as he gets up to leave)
Philip Taylor (under his breath): Joke!
Sir Alan Sugar
(after Debra, James and Mona's arguments) You're putting on a great Punch and Judy show here.
Sir Alan Sugar
(to Ben just before firing him) Stop going on about bloody Sandhurst, so what? I was in the Jewish Lad's Brigade, Stamford Hill Division, trainee bugler, but that didn't help me sell computers when I got older!
Sir Alan Sugar
We had the Sandhurst group here before - and one of them couldn't cook sausages on a baked bean can! (a reference to Paul Callaghan from series 3).
Sir Alan Sugar
(to Ben)I think the light at the end of the tunnel...(Ben shakes his head trying to convince Sir Alan not to fire him) has gone out. And I think Ben, it's time for you to leave this process. You're Fired!
Ben Clarke: Thank you very much for a wonderful opportunity Sir Alan.
Sir Alan Sugar: Okay? Off you go.
(Ben leaves the boardroom and goes to wait for his taxi. As he sits down he hits the chair)
Sir Alan Sugar
(To James) Turns out I was Willy Wonka after all.
James Mcquillan: I think I've got Lorraine's gift.
Sir Alan Sugar
Yasmina... you're hired!
Yasmina Siadatan: Thank you, Sir Alan! I'm going to be the best Apprentice ever!
Sir Alan Sugar
Three zeroes? That's a record... a terrible record.
Karren Brady: They refused exclusivity to the MAJOR high street retailer!
Nick Hewer: If one good thing came out of this, Stella kept this lot together[boys team] whist the girls were squabbling all over each other.
Sir Alan Sugar: See that Karren, that's women power right their.
Karren Brady: I've been telling you for years.

Sir Alan Sugar
Adam, what's Katie doing here?
AHAdam Hosker
Katie didn't give me the extra effort that we needed. I felt if we had more effort and more commitment, we could have won.
Sir Alan Sugar
So you're saying lack of effort, then?
I could not have put more effort into yesterday! I fragged myself to the bone yesterday to try and make this thing work. Your reasons for bringing me in here just do not stack up. One, on a personal level; two, on a business level. Sir Alan says he does not know about my personal stuff. He knows about it, because you talked about it and Kristina talked about it. Fine, been there! But if you want to go personal, I'll go personal. I'd very much strongly advise you not to take this down a personal route. At a business level, you have one speed setting, and that setting is slow slow slow! Someone put the wrong speed dial in when they created you, sweetie, which is why when the phone rings, I always drop, because I know that phone call will take forever, to tell me something either I already know, or I could get done quicker myself. So you know what? You're just barking up the wrong tree!
Sir Alan Sugar
I wouldn't expect a Christmas Card from her this year, Adam.
