The Apprentice · Season 1
(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.
This is job interview from hell. First prize, you get to work for me. Second prize, don't exist.
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!
I wonder if we could clean people?
Well done, girls! We're in budget. (after spending all but £2.30 of their £200 budget)
Never before in the history of carwashing have so few cars been cleaned by so many people in such a long time.
(holding a feather duster) What's this?
Yasmina Siadatan: It's a duster
(after Empire win the task) You look surprised.
Howard Ebison: Relieved.
I've got a scholarship to Sandhurst.
Philip Taylor: Have you?
Ben Clarke: Yeah.
James McQuillan: (under his breath) Bloody hell.
(Philip looks unconvinced)
Philip Taylor: Did you go?
Ben Clarke: No.
I don't think the food is up to scratch. It looks like it's come from a funeral at a working man's club.
I think he's going to take me into the boardroom and do you know what, I feel bloody hurt. It just shows the gratitude. I honesty feel like I did when my cat died. It's like a hurt inside.
(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?
(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.
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?
I’m quite happy to go along the “sex sells” route with this one.
