"Claude Littner: (to Solomon) This is my tenth year doing this, and I've got to say that when I read your application form and then when I read your CV, it filled me with pleasure. There were no boastful brags about how great you are and 'you're the greatest salesman' or 'you're the greatest everything', it was very, very mature, very nicely written, so from my point of view, that was a sheer pleasure. Solomon Akhtar: Thanks so much for saying that. Claude Littner: I've told you how pleased I was with your CV, and then I came on to actually look at the proposal that you're pitching for Lord Sugar, and frankly... it's a bloody disgrace! It's a bloody disgrace! In the 10 years I've done this, I've never seen something that's put together, two bloody pages with pictures on one page? What do you think you're coming here for? What do you think you're coming here for? You can leave. Goodbye. Solomon Akhtar: Can I argue, can I just say...? Claude Littner: There's nothing to argue! You've given me pictures of sailboats. You've given me pictures of sailboats, what am I gonna work on? Pictures of sailboats? What is that? What is that? Solomon Akhtar: Those are logos, yeah, logos. Claude Littner: You're taking the piss! Please leave. (after noticing Solomon going the wrong way). That's not the way out. Solomon Akhtar: (whispering) Fucking hell..."
"Mike Soutar: (To Lord Sugar on working with Daniel Lassman) He would die in the attempt. Claude Littner: Or you'd kill him."

Claude reckons you're gonna go somewhere one day...But not now. Solomon, you're fired! Solomon Akhtar: Okay, thank you very much. Nick Hewer: Good luck. Solomon Akhtar:Thank you.

Nick and Karren you've been very fair and Lord Sugar throught the process. So thank you."
"Lord Sugar: Daniel, I don't think we're gonna go into business together. But I do wish you well and it is with regret, Daniel you're fired!

Daniel Lassman: Yeah, absolutely. (Daniel gets up to leave) Thank you very much for your time."

"(On the way to the interviews) Mark Wright: Mine feels more like a winner Dan. Daniel Lassman: Your's feels heavier, 'cause you've got bigger font than me. (In another car Roisin looks through her business plan while Solomon looks on in awe. He pulls out his own plan and looks through it) Bianca Miller: Have you, included your financials Solomon? Solomon Akhtar: Erm, I've got the nitty-gritty stuff sort of...in my mind."

"Lord Sugar: You would back Bianca 100%?"
"Daniel Lassman: I think it's a no-brainer Lord Sugar, though Mark is a lovely guy."
"Lord Sugar: (to Dan Callaghan) Get your hands out of your pockets! (Dan obeys) Welcome to the boardroom. Over here you see an empty chair. So we have a new colleague of mine assisting me here, and if you think this process is tough it's just got a whole lot tougher!

"Dan Callaghan: Hello! Are you, interested in buying a salad?"
"Lord Sugar: Claude, perhaps you'd let me know about Versatile? Claude Littner: Their total sales amounted to £467.50, their costs were £267.21, yielding a profit of £200.29. Lord Sugar: Okay.

"Richard Woods: (while ironing a tie) Winning!"
"Lord Sugar: (when Connexus return to the boardroom) Well, to come in with £1.87, it's abysmal! Late in the kitchen, late at the location, lunch time; you turn up at 1:30, you may as well forget it!"
"Mergim Butaja: (holding a spring onion) Is this an onion? Sam Curry: Yes, that's an onion."
"Claude Littner: (After Versatile try to sell fish to a vegan restaurant) I must be losing the plot here. This place is teaming with people and they've gone into a veggie restaurant trying to sell fish? That's no way to sell."

"Aisha Kasim: I just want to say, if anyone is not productive on this task and we lose, they'll be coming back into the boardroom with me. I don't care!"
"Lord Sugar: (on Team Connexus' digital billboard) You're rotating like a kebab, Ruth."
"Elle Stevenson: (after Lord Sugar moves the teams back to girls vs. boys) I'm glad we got rid of Brett 'cause he's bald."
"Scott Saunders: (during a brainstorm) What about Manly Moist? Sam Curry: (giving a disgusted look at the representation) Ugh!"
"Mergim Butaja: (Assisting Brett collecting the manure) The smell is beautiful."
"Lord Sugar: (to the losing team) In the task, you got covered in bullshit. Now you know how I feel, when I listen to some of the rubbish that comes out in the boardroom."
"Lord Sugar: (on Connexus' third appearance in the boardroom) Okay, let me tell you this. Normally, I set this task at eight o'clock in the morning and I tell people to be back here 6 o'clock the same day. You had the whole of overnight and all that time to think about where you were going and what you were doing. Not organized!"

"Joseph Valente: (at the end of a negotiation) One hundred euro for seven. (He holds his fingers up to mime "seven" but actually ends up miming "eight")"
"Lord Sugar: Vana, it's hard for me to justify how you can remain in the process, because of the failure of this task. But, Jenny, I'm yet to see any actual achievements, anything one can pin down to you and say, "well, actually, that was very, very good." So, I'm having less of a problem here. Jenny, you're fired! Jenny Garbis: Okay. Well, I really appreciate the opportunity, I'm very disappointed not to have been able to show you what I'm really capable of, Lord Sugar, because I do think I have the capability to win this process. Many of the other candidates in the house said they were worried I was going to be in the final with them. I'm really sorry I haven't been able to show you that, but good luck, guys. Thank you."
"Karren Brady: Alan, I'd be worried about going into business with Ruth. Claude Littner: But which would you rather have, Karren? Someone who's very enthusiastic or someone who just doesn't seem to care that much? Karren Brady: Well, I'd have neither, actually Claude."

"Sam Curry: It's like giving birth to a child and someone offering you £2 for it. I mean I've never given birth before so...selling your baby for £2. God! What a heartless mother I am."
"Sam Curry: (to Elle Stevenson) You are, a genuine princess."
"Lord Sugar: (to Mergim before firing him) It is a difficult one. Look, Mergim I'm going to say this to you: I don't think you have the potential, at this moment in time, of being my business partner, I really don't. But carry on with your dreams okay? It is with sincere regret Mergim, that you're fired. Mergim Butaja: Thanks a lot for the opportunity guys. Thank you. (Mergim gets up and starts to leave) Lord Sugar: (as Mergim goes out the door) And we'll stay in touch. Mergim Butaja: (turns round to face Lord Sugar one last time.) Thank you Lord Sugar. (Mergim turns and goes out the door)"
"Joseph Valente: No stopping, no messing around, no toilet breaks, just hitting it! Solid, yeah?"

"Elle Stevenson: Joseph, the second we get in that theater I am no longer the project manager, you are that project manager!"

"Sam Curry: (after listening to a football manager telling them what they have to do if they secure a contract) Question: If we get this contract, do we have to do it?"
