The Apprentice · Season 1
(while visibly drunk) I've enjoyed myself thoroughly today. It's been a great day, me and Adam have had a lot of fun. We've really gotten to grips with the English wine sparkling... sorry, really got to grips with English wine... sparking...
(on Jenna's disastrous video advert) I know you're out there trying to impress me, and I also know I might remind you a little of Sid James, but I didn't ask you to make a Carry On Boozing movie. I was expecting any one moment there, Kenneth Williams to pop in and say "Ooh, maître d’, where's me Grandeur gone? Someone's nicked me Grandeur!" It's a total bloody joke! I don't know what you were thinking!
Stephen, you are this close to going outside that door!
Stephen Brady: If I was project manager again, I would definitely deliver another victory and most importantly...
Lord Sugar: Definitely?
Stephen Brady: I would definitely deliver another victory, I'd actually put my, erm, well put anything that I have on me right now on that...
Lord Sugar: You've thrown the gauntlet down. You are the project manager next, and I expect you to win!
Can you let me finish, please?
Of course, but speak about you.
Steve, stop being so condescending.
(To Stephen moments before firing him) You asked me for the chance to be the Project Manager, I gave you the chance. You told me you were going to win, you didn't win. You lost!
(to Adam Corbally before firing him)I think it's time for you to leave this process(Smile from Adam) You're Fired!
Adam Corbally: Thank you Lord Sugar!
Lord Sugar: I wish you all the best Adam. And I hope you do very well.
Adam Corbally:Thank you very much.
Lord Sugar: And keep in touch.
Adam Corbally: (before he leaves) If you ever need a salesman, you know where I am!
(having listened to Nick's explanation of his website) Do I care?
One of the things I found flawed in [Jade's] business plan was that one of the websites she owned was still available for anyone to go and buy...so I did.
It's like being under fire! It's like being in a warzone!
It all seems a bit show business than real business. Do you think that people take you less seriously in business because they can't stop imagining you in a pair of lycra pants?
Are you smoking something? Get on with that business! What on earth are you doing?! What are you even doing sat here?!
The trouble is, you're an arrogant...fool. However, I read your business plan. And, I was quite impressed.
Ricky Martin: Thank you Claude.
Claude Littner: I think it was interesting, I think it was well written. So it just puzzles me how you can write such nonsense, such rubbish...
I have a glowing employment reference here and I'm going to read it out to you.
(reading from the reference)
"What is very evident is Tom's natural ability to focus on the challenge and to deliver results..."
It goes on.
"I do firmly believe you have an excellent "Apprentice" who truly has the skill sets to deliver." That's pretty good stuff isn't it?
Tom Gearing: I'd say so, yeah.
Mike Soutar: Who do you think said that?
Tom Gearing: I'm not sure, not sure at all.
(As he replies, Mike smiles)
How much of your business plan did your father write?
Tom Gearing: He didn't write any of it.
Mike Soutar: None of it at all?
