I am a woman who works really long hours in the city and I don't want to have to go out to a bar and sit there and wait for men to come and talk to me. I want to be able to go onto a website and choose the people I want to interact with because I am a strong, sexually liberated and high powered woman!

If, and when, an investment is made then those discussions happen but the honest truth is...
Lord Sugar: What discussions happen?
Jordan Poulton: Discussions about percentages and how it was split between...
(stunned look from Myles)
Lord Sugar: Errrr... no discussion here mate. We get 50:50 shares.
Jordan Poulton: I'm a safer investment...
Lord Sugar: Safer investment?! What bleeding world do you live in?! A text-start business?!
Jordan Poulton: Lord Sugar, let me explain...
Lord Sugar: They're the most risky bloody investments on this planet!

Hello, I'm Jordan
Claude Littner: I know you are.
(Jordan sits down)
It transpires that actually, this isn't your business!
Jordan Poulton: Mmm-hm.
Claude Littner: "Mm-hm"? What does "Mm-hm" mean?
Jordan Poulton: There's three parts to the answer I think because...
Claude Littner: Hang on a second, hang on a second. You are not a shareholder in this business.
Jordan Poulton: Correct.
Claude Littner: Correct. Therefore, you've got no right to negotiate or to give away a part of a business that you do not own.
Jordan Poulton: Mm-hm.
Claude Littner: Furthermore, and this is what I'm very upset about, having waded through these pages, when I got to page 45 in your 52-page diatribe here, you're only prepared to yield 15.39% equity.
(brief pause) That's not the deal! The deal is 50% for £250,000
Jordan Poulton: Mm-hm.
Claude Littner: You've got no right to be here, because you're feeding on someone else's idea, someone else's business.
(pause)
You're a parasite!
Jordan Poulton: Can I defend myself before I leave?
Claude Littner:Frankly, I think this interview is terminated. You can leave now.

(said without pausing for breath) From the age I can remember I’ve always felt like I was more intelligent than everyone else and I got things faster than everyone else and I knew that there was something I could do with that ability that would be meaningful and I have this ability inside me that I don’t even at times know what to do with and so I figured that business is the way you get success in the modern world so why don’t I just try to learn as much about that and I’m sure eventually I’ll be able to do something that shows everybody I’m able.
Claudine Collins (apparently paying scant regard): ‘I’m going to move on.
