Velocity had a float of £2,000. They spent £1,097, and they took £1,423, so they made a profit of £326.
Sir Alan Sugar: Right, okay. Nick?
Nick Hewer: Well, Invicta were also given a budget of £2,000... they spent it.
Sir Alan Sugar: They spent all of it?
Nick Hewer: Yep, bar £6. Took only £1,186, which resulted I'm afraid in a thumping loss of £807.
Sir Alan Sugar: LOSS! That's a first, chaps! That's a first!
(after Tuan Le is fired) Tuan was just done in.
Sir Alan Sugar: Yeah, Tuan was done (laughs).
Never before in the history of carwashing have so few cars been cleaned by so many people in such a long time.
This has to be one of the most, stupid activities they have yet engaged in!
If I asked "What is the most interesting thing about you?" "I own three properties in the UK, two in Cyprus and a Porsche all before the age of 25. Did I mention I have a third nipple?"
Jamie Lester: Third nipple! (laughs)
Margaret Mountford: Yes. You're laughing! I'm not!. One or two pages later on, "What's the worst lie you've ever told?" "That I have a third nipple!" Is that supposed to make me laugh?
Jamie Lester: No, it's just...
Margaret Mountford: Think of a word that applies to that statement.
Jamie Lester: Stupid.
Margaret Mountford: Puerile!
(to Jim) I must say, I’ve never seen a longer application form. “I’m not a show pony, or a one-trick pony, or a wild stallion that needs to be tamed, or even a stubborn mule. I believe I can become the champion thoroughbred that this process requires.” What impression does that give me of you – that you’re a bit of an ass?
"A lady with a brain like Einstein..." and who got a C,D, and E in her AS levels.
Luisa Zissman: Yeah, I flunked my AS levels.
Margaret Mountford: You said that "people look at me and see that I'm a bimbo with hair extensions, fake b***s and nails."
Luisa Zissman: Yeah...(withering look from Margaret) Obviously that comment was very tongue in cheek.
Margaret Mountford: Do you think it's sensible to put tongue in cheek comments, when you're completing an application form with a view to someone making a quarter of a million pound investment?
Luisa Zissman: I don't think there's anything wrong with having a bit of personality in business.
(Margaret glares)
You studied the greats in human history, and cherry-picked their knowledge and as a result of that your role model is David Beckham?
Jordan Poulton: I stand by that!
Margaret Mountford: (wryly) Yes...
