I've set you lot a task and now have got to fire someone; quite frankly I'd like to get rid of the bleeding three of you. Tell me why I shouldn't get rid of you, now!
Syed Ahmed: Because I'm a winner, Sir Alan, that's why.
Sir Alan Sugar: You're not a bloody winner! You lost!
Syed Ahmed: I've learnt from my mistakes, and I've learnt from this, definitely, and this well never happen again.
Sir Alan Sugar: Business is not about come in, piss my money up the wall, "Oh, never mind, sorry you lost it, now you've learnt your lesson, you won't do it again."
Syed Ahmed: I've learnt life the hard way, from a young age.
Sir Alan Sugar: I hold you 100% responsible.
Syed Ahmed: And I put in 150%.
Sir Alan Sugar: I hold you 100% responsible!
Syed Ahmed: I stepped up to the mark, and I...
Sir Alan Sugar: I'm sorry, Syed, I hold you 100% responsible. But... (to Alexa) I warned you, I warned you severely about this. You have not come to the table today, I still don't understand what you did. He [Syed] should be going with you also... You're a very, very bad manager. You didn't manage this thing properly. You're a lightweight. You're fired! (brief pause) I'm really angry with this situation. Clear off!
(Alexa, Syed and Tuan get up and start to leave. Before walking out the door, Syed turns to Sir Alan)
Syed Ahmed: Thank you, Sir Alan, thank you for the opportunity. (leaves)
Sir Alan Sugar: Cheeky bastard. "Thank you for the opportunity."
