S1 E15Unfinished Business

(after Sarah, Steven and Ella Jade are sent outside)

Lord Sugar: Do you know? Ella Jade, she can talk okay? She's highly educated, and I wonder whether she's ever actually done a day's work in her life. And Steven, well, what is it about him?

Karren Brady: People ignore him, because it's actually far easier to ignore Steven than to spend so long listening to him get to the point.

Lord Sugar: Yeah. Quite clearly of the whole team, they've got it in for Sarah.

Nick Hewer: When she pipes up, people tell her to pipe down.

Karren Brady: The question is, does she actually have anything worthwhile to say?

(in the first triple firing (outside the interviews) Steven insists that he wants to be the next project manager. Lord Sugar on the other hand...)

Lord Sugar: You're not going to be the next project manager because I think you are a lost cause in this process. Steven, you're fired.

(Steven goes quiet and gets up to leave)

Steven Ugoalah: Thank you Lord Sugar.

(Steven leaves. Sarah and Ella Jade remain seated)

Lord Sugar: Ella, I made you the project manager in a task which was the nearest to what you want to do with me when we go into business. And you failed.

Ella-Jade Bitton: No...

Lord Sugar: And it's an unforgivable...

Ella-Jade Bitton: (thinking she is next to go) Please Lord Sugar...

Lord Sugar: Sarah, there is no smoke without fire. The reason why people always make you the timekeeper is because people don't seem to have much confidence in you. And if people don't have much confidence in you, I'm wondering why I should have confidence in you as a business partner.

(Sarah's face falls)

Sarah, you're fired.

Sarah Dales: (as she gets up to leave) Thank you for the opportunity.

(Sarah leaves leaving Ella-Jade alone)

Lord Sugar: I got to get on with this process with the candidates, some very, very good candidates that are left. Let's get rid of the no hopers, no chance. Don't waste my time.

Ella-Jade Bitton: I understand that Lord Sugar. I have the absolute hunger to learn from this and improve...

Lord Sugar: (paying little attention) Yeah...

Ella Jade Bitton: I'm really passionate about this process. I will do my absolute ultimate aim to prove to you that I can be your business partner.

Lord Sugar: Yeah, the thing is, I'm afraid to say...

Ella Jade Bitton: Please Lord Sugar. Please...

Lord Sugar: You do not have...

Ella-Jade Bitton: I do. I promise you I do. Please let me stay...

Lord Sugar: Ella...

Ella-Jade Bitton: Please, let me...

Lord Sugar: You're Fired.

(Ella-Jade however refuses to leave)

Ella-Jade Bitton: Please let me stay Lord Sugar...

Lord Sugar: Yeah, I'm sorry. You are fired. I wish you well.

(Ella-Jade starts to leave but refuses to give in and faces Lord Sugar one last time.)

Ella-Jade Bitton: Please Lord Sugar, I promise you. I promise you I will learn from this. I promise you Lord Sugar.

Lord Sugar: Yeah, there's no, I've made my decision okay? You're Fired.

(Finally, Ella-Jade gives in and leaves the boardroom)

Lord Sugar: (after the boardroom is empty) I've been in business long enough to work out the people who had no chance of becoming my business partner and those three certainly had no chance.

(to Tenacity) The only way you lot are going viral is if you kiss someone with the bloody flu!

(At the end of the internal review, Lord Sugar sends the rest of Tenacity back to the house leaving Ella-Jade, Steven and Sarah alone)

Lord Sugar: Get ready, to defend your positions in this process. (in the end he got rid of all three of them)

(After Summit win the task and are on the treat, they toast to themselves in one of the volcanic baths)

James Hill: Has anyone done a wee yet?

I know you like your football analogies, Mark. Well, sometimes a good Number 2 doesn't make a good Number 1 and you've yet to prove that.

LRLauren Riley

You've heard why we failed and none of it was me. None of it was me!

Mark Wright: Yeah, none of it WAS you! That's why you're sat here.

(Felipe becomes tearful up on seeing the advert his team has made)

Lauren Riley: Awww, come here Felipe.

(Lauren and Felipe embrace)

They'll be proud of you and what you've done.

Felipe Alviar-Baquero: I just feel so proud of what we have done.

MWMark Wright

(after he is asked who he's bringing back in) I'll bring Daniel back as well.

(Daniel rolls his eyes)

JHJames Hill

Stop trying to undermine me and stuff all the time!

Roisin Hogan: I'm not!

(moments before firing James) James, what I want to say to you is this: Culture, that bit of good stuff about you and you will go somewhere. You will go somewhere. But it is with regret James, that I'm going to have to say to you, You're Fired!

James Hill: (showing signs of defeat) Thank you Lord Sugar and Nick, Karren, I've really enjoyed this experience. Good luck guys, alright?

Roisin Hogan: (quietly) Good luck James.

James Hill:Alright, Thank you. Cheers.(James leaves the boardroom)

Lord Sugar: Good luck.
