[Man ] New York, my city.
Where the wheels of the global economy never stop turning.
A concrete metropolis of unparalleled strength and purpose...
that drives the business world.
Manhattan is a tough place.
This island is the real jungle.
If you're not careful, it can chew you up and spit you out.
But ifyou work hard, you can really hit it big. And I mean really big.
My name 's Donald Trump, and I'm the largest real estate developer in New York.
I own buildings all over the place,
model agencies, the Miss Universe Pageant,
jetliners, golf courses,
casinos,
and private resorts like Mar-a-Lago,
one of the most spectacular estates anywhere in the world.
But it wasn't always so easy.
About 13 years ago, I was seriously in trouble.
I was billions of dollars in debt.
But I fought back and I won, big league.
I used my brain, I used my negotiating skills, and I worked it all out.
Now my company's bigger than it ever was, it's stronger than it ever was,
and I'm having more fun than I ever had.
[ Man ] Mr. Trump! [ Woman ] Donald!
I've mastered the art of the deal and I've turned the name Trump into the highest-quality brand.
And as the master, I want to pass along my knowledge to somebody else.
I'm Iooking for... the apprentice.
Right now, from all over the country,,
16 of America's best and brightest young entrepreneurs...
are arriving in New York for the chance to work as my apprentice...
and get a firsthand look into the world ofbig business.
Trump Tower, please.
[ Trump ] They come from all walks of life.
Some have their Ph.D. or a Harvard M.B.A....
and have learned their skills in the classroom.
Others are self-made entrepreneurs. They own restaurants,
or they're one of the top real estate professionals in the country,.
Some have only a high school diploma,
and a few have left their successful small-town companies...
to come to New York City for the very, first time.
This is the chance to work for me at a huge saIary,
and more importantly, I earn enough so that maybe they too can become a biIlionaire someday.
This is going to be the dream job of a Iife time.
Who will succeed and who will fail?
And who wiIl be... the apprentice?

one of the great buildings of the world, right on Fifth A venue.
They'll be divided into two groups.
Each week, they'll compete against one another in a series of tasks.
The winning team will continue to live in their suite.

It's either the suite or the street.

[ Tammy ] Talk about first impressions.
I didn 't really feel the need to show any communication whatsoever with people that I don 't even know.
They were all just kind of wanting to communicate kind ofnonverbally to each other.
The only person I really need to be concerned with liking me, ostracizing me,
i s Dona I d T ru m p.
[ Troy ] Working for Trump is more than a big deal. It 's a huge deal.
Trump has certainly given every,body a shortcut to the American dream.
But I ' m gon na ea rn the Am eri ca n d rea m j ust I i ke everybody el se.
Okay. M r. T ru m p wi I l see you now. You ca n go i n over there.
Wel com e to N ew York. I 've a lways sai d, " N ew York Ci ty i s the real jungle."
It's tougher in New York than anyplace in the world.
You' re gonna fi nd out what I m ean.
Okay, let's get started.
I want to i ntroduce som ebody who's been wi th m e for 2 5 years--
George Ross. He 's my executive vice president and senior council.
On th i s s i de-- Th i s i s Ca rolyn Kepcher.
She is the chief operating offiicer of one ofmy companies.
And Carolyn is a killer.
There are many men buried in her wake.
These two wi I l be my eyes a nd ea rs...
and will accompanyyou during your tasks.
They' re gon na hel p m e m a ke a deci s i on...
as to who u I ti m ately i s goi ng to be worki ng as the presi dent of one of my com pani es,
and then we 'll see howyou do.
This isn 't a game. This is a 1 3-week job interview.
Out of 2 1 5, 0 0 0 job appl i cants,
you' re the 1 6 peopl e that I chose to go through 1 3 weeks of hel l...
to determ i ne who's gonna work for me at the end.
Now, some ofyou think that attending a top business school gives you an advantage.
Others think that street smarts and hands-on experience are the best way to get ahead.
Additionally, women have a tougher time in the workplace, or so they say.
L et 's find out.
W e' re gon na be setti n g u p two tea m s of ei g ht each,
a nd I 've deci ded i t's goi n g to be...
men against women.
Each week, there 'll be a business task to accomplish.
N ow, I m ay as k you to work as a street vendor...
or som eth i ng toug her I i ke worki ng wi th Mad i son Aven ue to create a n ad cam pai gn for corporate jets...
or renovati ng and leasi ng run-down apartments.
Maybe even put on a rock concert.
You wi I l select a project manager who wi I l lead your team i n that task.
I will hold the project manager...
at I east parti al ly responsi bl e for a team 's victory or fai I ure.
Ifyour team loses, you will all meet me right here in the boardroom.
You don't wa nt to be i n the boardroom.
'Cause the losing team is gonna sit in front ofme, and somebody is going home.
All ofyou should be complimented,
but the fact i s, there's on ly one goi ng to be chosen.
That one person wi I l be pres i dent of one of my com pani es at a huge salary...
for a period of one year.
Now, I wantyou to go up to the suite, enjoyyourself, and I'll see you tomorrow.
Com e on. Get outta here.
[ Sam ] When I saw Trump today, it all came together right there.
I want access to Trump. I want to get to know that guy,
but I don't wa nt i t to be i n the boa rd room.
Back of a I i m ous i ne, at a ba r wi th h i s g i rl fri end.
I don't ca re where i t i s. N ot i n the boardroom.
[ Chattering, Laughing ]
My m am a's gonna be proud when she sees me here.
- I love it! - Wel l, this is very nice.
Whoo!
Ti me to toast!
To the enemies! [ Laughs ]
I don't know why we' re bei ng so friendly with the men. Why are we cavorti ng with the enem ies?
I I i ke this men versus women. This could be fun.
[ Bowie ] The girls, they're smarter than what I guess some ofthe guys are thinking.
But i f you pul I one over on m e, I ' m gonna 1 0 ti m es ya. I ' m gonna do you by 1 0 ti m es.
My m i nd works I i ke that. I ' I l be a bl e to pu I l som eth i ng off a I ot better than they wi I l.
I ' m so gl ad i t's gi rls agai nst boys. I ' m so happy.
You have an M. B.A. and an M. D.
Which one didyou do first? The M. D.
So you got done with your M. D., and then you said, "I don 't really want to do this. "
I ' m gon na get a n M. B.A. It's not quite so simple.
I n my sen i or yea r of m ed i ca I school, I was I i ke, "What ca n I do wi th a n M. D. bes i des treat pati ents?"
And Wal I Street was very receptive to someone I i ke myself.
[ Sam ] David has an M. B.A. and an M. D., which is impressive.
But you know what? I can 't relate to David.
Then I m oved i nto ventu re ca pi ta l. Di d dea I s wi th bi otech com pa n i es a nd m ed i ca I tech nol ogy com pa n i es.
I ' m j ust th i n ki ng of the school. H ow do you spend so m uch ti m e i n school?
Entrepreneurs shouldn't be spendi ng that m uch ti me i n the classroom.
They should be... sweati ng and hungry. And when they hear an idea in the class, they wanna go out and do it.
Oh, my gosh!
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies! Follow me.
Ladies, ladies, ladies. Follow me.
Ladies, ladies, ladies.
Come on, ladies. Let's go!
Organization. That's my skill. Organizing and motivating people.
So I j ust try to bri n g us a I l together.
Okay, you g uys ready? W e' re ready.
"W el com e to T ru m p T ower. I hope you r stay i s enjoya bl e.
T o sta rt, pl ease enjoy som e cham pagne and cavi ar."
Cheers to that! Cheers!
" I t is a taste of the I ife you could lead--"
" But don't get used to it. There's m uch work to be done.
" Here is your fi rst order of busi ness:
You need to thi nk of a name for your group. From now on, your team wi I l be known as a corporation."
" My office wi I l phone you later with further i nstructions. Donald J. T rum p."
I t has to be marketable. He's so bi g on nam i ng everythi ng.
We have to name our group somethi ng strong.
[ Omarosa ] The envelope gave us our first task.
And that task, although it seems really simple, when you've got eight women--
[ Laughs ] it became a three-hour ordeal...
of pi cki n g a na m e for you r corporati on.
So, u m, we got to i t.
Ou r na m e has to com m u n i cate power, u n i ty-- Class.
- And s hock. - And no i dea i s stu pi d.
I thi nk i t's good. We can m ake som ethi ng real easy I i ke the B. M.A. Corporation.
Or somethi ng-- Busi nessmen Associated.
The B. B.C. Bi I l ionai res Boys' Cl ub.
B. F.B. Big F-- [ Beeps ] Bal ls. [ Al I Laughi ng ]
I love that. How about Donald's Darl i ngs?
Nah! [ Al I Respondi ng ]
- No. - Let's keep brai nstorm i ng.
We're al I versati le. I mean, we're al l guys who have different backgrounds.
And we've been thrown together. [ Bowie ] I I i ke versati le as a word.
Put that i n there. I mean, Versacorp. I mean--
[ Men ] Versacorp. Versacorp.
Versacorp. What is it? V-E-R--
S-A. S-A Corp. One word.
[ T roy ] Versacorp. By God, ca n I say we a I l got together a nd m ade a deci s i on here.
Let's put i t ri g ht here, ba by. Ri g ht here.
[ Nick ] We did the name for the organization. And they named it Versacorp.
I wasn 't a big proponent of that. I didn 't think it's flashy. I don 't think it represents all of us.
I d on ' t th i n k T ru m p wi I l pa rti cu I a rly I ove the na m e.
I m ea n, Versacorp. I t's d u m b.
[ Ch uckl es ] I t's corny.
I thoug ht of one other. What?
Protege.
H ey! I I ove that! You like it?
[ Ereka ] Ijust offiered up a suggestion for our group, and it was accepted.
When I have som eth i ng to say, I ' I l m a ke s u re i t's put out there.
I f i t's j ust a n i dea a nd I ' m not s u re mysel f, a nd I wa n na see i f i t's receptive,
I don't care i f it goes or fl ies.
I f it's somethi ng that I bel ieve i n, I 'm gonna push for it, and then I 'm sure it'l I come across that way.
[ Phone Ringing]
Uh-oh. Phone is ringing. You know who that is. That's Donald T rum p.
Hel lo? H i, this is Rhona i n Mr. T rum p's office.
He asked me to cal I you and tel I you to meet hi m tomorrow morni ng at the New York Stock Exchange.
Leavi ng here at 5:45 a.m. Ooh, boy!
Did they hang up on you?
[ Ereka ] I've never been to the stock exchange. It's overwhelming. It really is.
And i m m edi ately, I ' m thi nki ng, "What the hel I are we gonna be asked to do i n there?"
The tel ephone rang. And they cal led to tel I that we' re goi ng to the New York Stock Exchange.
Oh, what ti me?
[ Katrina ] The first task is crucial because it will set the precedent for all the other tasks to come.
I th i n k the wom en wi I l wi n beca use the ei g ht wom en that a re i n there a re very strong i nd ivi d ua I s.
And I think men-- these men, although they won 't admit it,
m ay feel i t's a bi t of a di sadvantage not to have us on thei r si de.
I f it does i nvolve som ethi ng i n a bui I di ng on Wal I Street,
i t would not be i nappropriate to wear a tie.
- [ Man ] I need a new suit. - Do you need a jacket to go?
On the floor of the exchange, you real ly should have a jacket.
But there's no way they're putti ng us on the floor of the exchange.
[ Nick ] I have no idea what the first task is gonna be. Nor do I care.
I t's a bri I l i ant i dea. I I ove the i dea.
[ Nick ] We are now really working as a team together. And we 're out here to win.
Ga m e's on. Ga m e's been on for m e s i nce, u h, I s howed u p off the pl a ne.
Al I ri g ht, com e on over, everybody.
Wel com e to the N ew York Stock Excha nge.
Thi s i s real ly and truly the center of the world for bi g busi ness.
$40 billion is traded each and every, day.
And there 's no place like this anywhere in the world.
Now, I guess you have visions ofsomething big, something glamorous.
But that 's not gonna be it.
We 're bringing you back to basics.
You 're gonna go outside, and you 're gonna sell lemonade.
We 'll start you offi with $250 seed money.
And at the end of the day, 7 :3 0,
we' re gon na see who m ade the m ost m oney.
The women or the men. It's very, simple.
Now, the ladies look to me like they're more excited.
[ Cheeri ng ]
The men, I-I must tell you, a little bit stiffi.
Sta rt getti n g ga m e pl a ns together.
Who i s you r project m a na ger?
- Your name? - T roy McCl a i n.
- What i s you r tea m na m e? - Versacorp.
That's a pretty interesting name. Who 's your leader?
- Ereka Vetri ni. - Okay, Ereka. What's your team name?
Meet Protege Corporati on.
- Very good. - You I i ke that?
That's very, good. I'll tell ya. They're looking awfully good, fellas.
- I'm a little bit worried about you. - Whoo!
You' re gon na be on the ki I l er streets of N ew Y ork.
Go out there. I ' I l see you at 7:3 0. Who's gon na m a ke the m ost m oney?
L et's see. [ Cheeri ng ]
One, two, three-- Versacorp!
[ Bell Ringing ]
I've always felt location is important, but the people behind the deal are much more important than location.
I'd much rather have a really smart, talented guy...
doing a deal in a not-so-good location...
than an idiot doing a deal in a great location.
Beca use you ' I l m a ke m oney every ti m e.
The key to s uccess i s I ocati on, I ocati on, I ocati on.
You' re ass i g ned to fi nd i ng the I ocati on. You need to know where the location's at.
We have $2 50. Let's use that. Let's maxi m ize that. Let's use our seed money.
[ Troy] It was so surreal to me. Trump standing up there on that podium.
And he says, " Boys, gi rl s, we' re gonna go back to the basi cs."
And I'm thinking we 're going back to Basic Sales 1 0 1.
I certa i n ly d i d n't th i n k I was goi ng back to s ixth g rade sel I i ng I em onade.
N ow we' re gonna go get our cups and suppl ies.
That' I l give use the skeleton. You guys'l I be the vei ns.
You've got a location? I thi nk Seaport is set.
Seaport is this way. Probably a 1 0-m i nute wal k.
Lead us to Seaport ri ght now. Let's go to the location, gentlemen.
That's our meeti ng. We'l I have a runner.
[ Chatteri ng ]
[ Ereka ] I was selected as project manager...
because I actual ly thought up the name Protege.
It was definitely diffiicult being a project manager because...
people are throwing responsibility in your court when they don 't want to take it.
[ Ereka ] L isten. You guys, listen. We gotta get a table.
We don 't need a table. That is the old-fashioned way to sell lemonade. From a little table.
It 's image, though. Image. It 's the image.
I wou I d rather i nvest my m oney i n my prod uct.
[ Woman ] I am not carry,ing a table.
H ere to back hom e.
That's why we s pl i t i nto two tea m s a nd you I et us do what we a re-- We' I l ca rry the tabl e.
[ Tammy] We were all sitting in a circle, huddling, yelling at each other.
And I don't th i n k a nyone was bei ng effective for the fi rst hou r.
I rea I ly d i d n't a ppreci ate bei ng tol d I was the one i n charge, but then bei ng said, this is what we're doi ng.
I don't want to be i n charge. I want us al I to have our own thi ng.
Let's not take it personal. I was not targeti ng you.
[ Omarosa ] We have absolutely no leadership. Ereka is very, emotional.
When you're doing business, you gotta stay focused on the task and keep your emotion out ofit.
She' s tota I ly i rrati ona I ri g ht now.
I -I I ove that these peopl e a re I i ke, tel I them what to do, but then they' re I i ke, thi s i s what we' re doi ng!
The bottom line is ifwe 're fighting, we 're never gonna get this f-- [ Beeps ] done.
[ Kwame ] This is the Seaport where you see all those big ships. That commercial area.
There 's gonna be tourists there. It 's a beautiful day. That should be our main location.
We chose a location. We thought about supplies. And we were try,ing to get...
u p to s peed as q u i ckly i n term s of sel I i n g I em onade.
You and I will grab the cups. You grab the markers.
Ri g ht now, we need to get the fou ndati on: cu ps, I em onade. Look wherever you can I ook.
[ Troy] Every,body did fantastic. You know, they were the wind beneath the wings. They did awesome.
Fou nd the I em onade.
We got ou r feet u nderneath us, a nd we ra n wi th i t.
Tha n k you, m a'a m.
[ Troy ] Kwame came up with an absolute creative idea.
We 're try,ing to get your help in try,ing to set up a successful lemonade stand.
Let m e as k you for a cou pl e other th i n gs. Su re.
[ Troy ] He got a vendor to give stuffi to us for no charge.
W ou I d you g ive us free cu ps i f we brou g ht m ore peopl e i n?
Why not? We need free cu ps. You wi I l do that?
We' re gonna be here at 1 :3 0, sel I i n'.
We got free ice, free cups, a free cart.
This is wonderful! This is fabulous!
Oh, this is a lot of fun.
Attaboy, N ick! Yeah, baby!
And that really helped us in terms ofsaving a lot of our initial cap-ex...
that we cou I d j ust ki nda ba n k i nstead of spendi ng i t on suppl i es.
[ Women Chattering ]
I j ust don't know how to do radi o. I know how to use i t.
Wil I you show us how?
What's the organization? What's the steps--
I think that we should have a group oftwo or three and the rest ofyou out marketing until the product gets there.
[ Woman ] Are you guys fine byyourselves? Y es, certa i n ly.
We 're gonna meet you guys at Rockefeller Center.
Bye, g i rl s. Get gas.
[ Kristi ] Amy and I split offibecause we knew we could buy the product quickly.
With a whole group, there 's a lot of talking, there 's a lot of attitude.
W e j ust wa nted to get i t done a nd I et them ha nd I e the rest of i t.
Do we know where we' re goi ng?
[ Omarosa ] You're the project manager. L ead.
N ow, we' re gon na sta rt sel I i ng I em onade i n the next 1 0 m i nutes.
Come get your ice-cold lemonade here.
Dol I a r a g I ass. Tha n k you so m uch. H ave a good day.
You got one? Everybody got one?
Are you sure this lemonade is real ly good? Absol utely.
I t's a hard-earned dol lar that I 'm about to spend on this lemonade.
I t's tasty.
How you doi ng today, ma'am?
T roy McClai n from Boise, I daho. How you doi n', si r?
T roy McClai n. Can I have a tal k with you for a second?
T roy's doi ng a good job. He's keepi ng people positive, which I thi nk's the most i m portant thi ng.
[ Bowie Continues ] We have everything we need. I'm confidant till the day's over.
One, two, three-- Versacorp!
Guys, please meet us at 53rd and 9th. Tell me ifyou copy.
5 3 rd a nd 9th. Y es. Y es, we' I l be ri g ht there.
We've got everyth i ng, a nd we' I l start m aki ng i t.
I hope we 're heading in the right direction. Where 's our girls? Oh, they're so far back.
I was so ca ug ht u p i n the d i recti on of everybody a nd I m ade the stu pi d m i sta ke...
of not I ooki ng a nd seei ng wh i ch way was east a nd west a nd just aski ng a stranger.
Excuse me, where is Rockefel ler Center?
[ Man ] Rockefeller Center's right here. Ri ght here, strai ght ahead?
And he 's pointing in a direction, and it was the wrong direction.
Oh, my God! What?
Why does that say Pa rk Aven ue? I s that ri g ht?
I can 't believe-- That guy was like Ninth is this way.
Pl ease tel I m e i f you hea r m e. We have a I i ttl e bi t of a probl em.
Right now we have to find our team members that have the product so we can start selling.
W e' re havi n g a d i ffi cu I t ti m e com m u n i cati ng wi th them as to where we' re s u pposed to m eet a nd we' re s u pposed to be.
We j ust screwed up. We' re at 5 0-- 53 rd and Park. Where are you?
[ Kristi ] Okay, read on there how many cans.
Let's put one gal lon i n and see what this is I i ke. 'Cause we need to di I ute this.
Amy? Amy. I can 't hear her.
Omarosa, how the hel I --
[ Kristi ] We got lemonade. We made lemonade. We didn 't answer the phone because...
we 're ready to do whatever it takes to sell this thing and make a lot ofmoney.
One dol I a r a g I ass? I t' s the best I em onade you' I l ever have.
W e' re goi ng nowhere! We' re goi ng i n ci rcl es ri ght now.
We' re goi ng i n the wrong di rection. We are a m i le off our target.
We can't hear you. Where are you?
[ Omarosa ] Ereka's the first project manager. Little does she know,
or i s she not thi nki ng, that i f we are not successful at thi s task, she goes up.
J ust pl ease get i n touch wi th us. We have no idea where you are ri ght now.
And we're real ly [ Beeps ] concerned.
Guys, give us an exact address where you are and what you're doing.
T el I us what you' re doi ng. We' re at 53 rd and Park.
Can you get i nto a cab and head to 53 rd and Park? Let m e know.
[ Voi ce Over Phone ]
Grocery carts. They have two grocery carts. We'l I come to you.
All right, guys. We are gonna meet you at 53rd and Ninth.
N o, Ei ghth. N o, they' re goi ng to N i nth, though.
Okay. We' re m eeti ng you at 53 rd and N i nth.
The begi nni ng was total ly a ni ghtmare, logistical ly.
We couldn't meet and that was just a nightmare.
This is worse than bei ng i n the jungle.
Guys! Guys! We found them!
[ Ereka ] Now we 're all together and the energy's back on high. We 're doing a great job.
I a m so fortu nate to have these g i rl s worki ng for m e.
Sel l, sel l, sel l! Whoo!
Lem onade.
Lem onade? Lem onade?
Lem onade.
[ Exhal es ]
My feet hurt. [ Whi nes ] I wanna go home.
Ri ght now, what I 'm doi ng is sel I i ng lemonade on the streets of New York City.
And my feet hurt. I mean, that's the thi ng I 'm maddest about right now is my feet are ki I l i ng me.
Let's go-- Let's go with three-- three right now. Three's fi ne.
A couple more. I t's hot out on those streets.
[ Kristi ] Tammy stopped for a lunch break.
We haven't had a glass of water al I day, and she spends the money for I unch. I ' m pissed off!.
[ Omarosa ] She 's having a latte. Tammy's-- L ook at her. She 's in the window having food.
I ' m gonna keep on sel I i ng 'cause we have m oney to m a ke, but that i s a bsol utely bu I l -- [ Beeps ].
T a m my i s not rea I ly focused on bei ng a part of the team.
Success in business is focus not only on individual contribution but working as a team as well.
I t was a 1 0-m i n ute brea k. That's fi ne. T en m i n utes i t i s.
Ca n we go get water? Lu nch. Al I ri g ht.
I convinced her to walk with me to the store...
so that I cou I d have som e ti m e to tal k wi th her.
I want to know why you guys are com plai ni ng about me. Col lectively, you haven't gel led with us.
And I confide in Tammy. I said, "Tammy,
"the women are not feel i ng as though you' re maki ng an effort to connect with them.
"My strategy foryou is to simply reach out to the women,
start participating in these activities. "
Y-You know, w-we j ust gotta h i t i t ha rd u nti I 7:3 0.
I th i n k we a re h i tti n g i t ha rd. W e a re doi n g everyth i n g we ca n do.
T a m my says, "Okay, okay, I ' m gon na try."
We walk back to the corner where our lemonade stand is--
the first thing she announces is, "Do you guys have a problem...
wi th the fact I went a nd took a-a-a hou r brea k?"
I ' m getti n g the i m press i on that peopl e a re-- peopl e a re u pset wi th m e. Me?
Why woul d you com e and ask her that when I just explai ned to you-- I 'm just sayi ng--
I just-- We just wal ked for 1 0 m i nutes, and I explai ned to you that that was not a big issue.
I'm getting the impression people are not happy with the fact that I spent two dollars on lunch.
H ow do you bu i I d a rel ati ons h i p wi th som ebody who you ca n't confi de i n?
So, as of now, I ' m done wi th tryi ng to hel p bri ng T a m my i nto the fol d.
Lem onade.
[ Troy] They say the American dream started from selling lemonade.
Lem onade for sal e.
H ow about a gl ass of I em onade?
Real tasty.
[ Bowie ] L ook at Dave. Dave, slow down, slow down.
- [ G i gg I i ng ] - Oh, no. Yeah.
[ G i gg I i ng Conti n ues ]
Over here! Dave! No.
N o. Don't run. Don't do that. Don't run. Don't do that at al l.
David-- I mean, he 's a brilliant guy, he 's got an M. B.A., he 's got an M. D.
But he needed a I i ttl e hel p m ovi ng the product.
One dol I ar. One dol I ar. One dol I ar. One dol I ar. One dol I ar. We just sai d no.
Two dol lar. Two dol lar. Two dol lar. Two dol lar.
N i ne dol lar. N i ne dol lar. N i ne dol lar.
Al I right. Forget it. [ Nick ] Really, tone it-- tone it down.
He is attacki ng.
[ Trump ] You're not gonna believe this.
The men are at that smelly Fulton Fish Market try,ing to sell lemonade.
It's a terrible location. And there 's nobody here.
I 've gotta go. Bye.
Defi n i tely a s I ow ti m e at the I em onade sta nd.
We need to get business pickin ' up. Uh, we 're dying a slow death out here right now.
That's about the lunch rush that we 're gonna get. That-- That-- That 's lunch.
I t' s 1 2 :3 0. So, th i s I ocati on j ust d i d n ' t-- d i d n ' t cut i t.
All right. We need to move. We need to move now.
We made Kwame the location guy. He picked the Seaport.
[ Bl ows Ras pberry ] Sea port bad, m a n.
W e' re gon na go to new I ocati ons, set u p a nd j ust h ustl e where we ca n.
Where are peopl e goi ng? We gotta hi t the traffic--
[ Sam ] Yep. We better get moving right now.
[ Woman ] Are you sure? [ Woman #2 ] Yes.
[ Woman ] How come you drank so much?
Pouring a glass ofit here so you guys can get it quickly.
- [ Man ] It's kinda warm. - We've been worki ng so ha rd the i ce m el ted.
H ere. Put i t-- You' re sti I l rea I ly cute.
I wou I d n't pay five dol I a rs for a g I ass of I em onade.
But i f it was served by a very pretty gi rl, you'd be surprised. I m i ght've paid it.
Dollar for the lemonade. Four dollars for the girl.
I t's for the I em onade, but the bonus i s my phone num ber. What's your name?
Derek. Derek, thank you so m uch.
When we sold the lemonade, I was surprised that, yeah, I did use sex to sel I lemonade.
J ust tryi ng to make some money on the street.
Not the street. That sounded bad. We're just tryi ng to make some money.
I s this your corner? [ Laughi ng ] I t's not my corner.
People may thi nk it's sel I i ng sex. T o be honest with you,
my style of sel I i ng is just-- it's me bei ng Heidi.
Oh, my God. Hel lo, I ittle puppy.
I t's the same style I use here as I use i n corporate America.
Hel lo. [ Barki ng ]
Holy-- [ Beeps ] Oh, my God!
Thank you so m uch. Okay.
Oh, look at that. Thanks, you guys. H igh five.
There you go. Now we made $ 1 5 off ofyou guys.
[ Chuckl i ng ] Good sel l.
I would not pay five dollars for our lemonade, much less 20,
but-- but we can sel I i t. We di d i t.
Al I ri ght, guys. Good job. Way to ki ck ass.
One, two, three-- [ T ogether ] Wi n!
[ Cheeri ng ]
H ow are you doi ng? An ice-cold lemonade for a dol lar?
That's okay. I 'm good. No? Al I ri ght.
Wal I Street lemonade. A dol lar a lemonade.
I t's frozen lemonade. That's al I right.
Thank you.
You better have gotten five dol lars from that lady. She's rich. Nothi ng. Nothi ng.
I thi nk I would've had to have sex with her to sel I lemonade.
How about a lemonade for a dol lar, si r?
[ Bill] The ship was going down. I mean, I knew it.
At that poi nt, we needed to do anythi ng we could.
[ Bill] I'm concerned at this stage ofthe game.
I ' m a I i ttl e concerned mysel f. I don't know i f thi s m arket's a good m arket.
There's not a lot of people here either. That's the problem.
Wel l, we m i ght've been better off fishi n' i n our old hole. No, that was horri ble.
Yeah, but how m uch better are we doi ng right now?
We had to get out of there. We weren't maki ng anythi ng.
We're not maki ng nothing right now.
We're not having success. We gotta think bigger.
Women sel I products.
They sel I products-- not only to men, but to women.
Now, you know, we 've had a tough day.
I 've got a theory-- you can sel I thi s I em onade better than I do.
[ Laughi ng ] So, what I wanna do is-- T ake this. T ake this.
Hold it. Stay right here for one second. Oh, my God.
Excuse me, si r. We need you for I i ke 3 0 seconds.
J ennifer here is sel I i ng the best lemonade with a money-back guarantee.
- Ifyou don 't like it, we 'll give you your dollar back. - Al I ri ght. No, I ' m too poor.
I ' m unem ployed. You-- money-back guarantee-- So i s she.
- Come on. You're making us look bad. - What is the scam?
- Th i s i s very strange. - Can I tel I you som ethi ng?
- I ' m about this close to beggi ng. - I ' m not goi ng to pay for lemonade. I ' m a New Yorker.
[ Kwame ] What Sammy was try,ing to do. He wants to get hot women to help sell.
I think every,one knows that sex sells, and that's fine.
But we needed h i m to focus on som e th i n gs that were a I i ttl e bi t m ore ta n g i bl e.
He let the team down, I think, on that regard.
Are you doi ng wel l? I a m, Sa m, but you' re i rki ng m e. I ' m gonna tel I you the truth.
I ' m just givi ng you honest feedback.
I t's-- I t's a hi gh-vol ume pitch. You know, that's why --
I've been saying that all day. I t's al I a num bers game.
You don 't need to spend five, 1 0 minutes with a customer. I know.
You don't. I know. We' re doi ng okay.
The goa I of the tas k i s to m a ke as m uch as we can.
Right. Are you doing okay? Y ea h.
[ Sam ] I don 't think these guys get it. They don 't get it.
And they think I'm a nut. We may have to get some guy...
to g ive us a thousa nd dol I a rs.
I believe ifyou buy that lemonade for a thousand dollars,
that you're going to have a story, to tell.
Donald Trump has got people paying top dollar for real estate in Manhattan,
in New York, New York, where other people are getting 50% of what he 's getting.
Dona I d T ru m p i s sel I i n g I em onade for a thousa nd dol I a rs a cu p.
N ow, I et m e see. I sort of I ost you g uys a I i ttl e bi t.
I ' m g ivi ng you my word that i f you wri te m e a check...
for a thousand dol lars for that glass of lemonade,
that you are goi ng to experience the American dream.
[ Laughi ng ] Mr. Trump...
has got to on some level be i m pressed with someone who's got the guts...
to sell a cup oflemonade for a thousand dollars.
That is a ki I ler thi ng to do.
This guy's goi ng crazy now. I ' m not goi ng crazy.
I ' m gonna reti re i n a few years. Otherwise, I would've done it just for the heck of it.
I -I 'm sorry. I don't thi nk I can do. Thank you for your ti me.
I'm deeply frustrated because...
my weaknesses are bei ng shown today.
I -I 've not earned the respect of my team.
And it's causing a problem, because this is a much easier task...
than it's being made out to be.
I -- I th i n k we j ust gotta-- [ Sam ] We gotta sell 'em.
One dol I a r at a ti m e. That's a I l we ca n do. I t was worth a s hot.
[ Carolyn ] How long did that take you talking with that man?
It took 20 minutes. [ Bill ] About that, yeah.
But you know what? There was a cha nce i t cou I d've ha ppened.
- I bel i eve there was a cha nce. - But you weren't sel I i ng I em onade.
I tried. I tried.
Here's what we need, guys. We got the last 60 m i nutes.
Obviously we gotta ral ly together. Let's go sel l. Let's get it al I done.
I feel that the team got off to a "sl um py" start,
but I 'l I tel I you what, I sti I l bel ieve i n my team...
and I thi nk that we're gonna pul I ahead and we're gonna fi nish this out strong.
Wait a second there, Troy. Start sel I i ng. Ri ght now, start sel I i ng.
He just bought me a cup. I sure do appreciate it. Thank you very, much.
It's my pleasure. From one cou ntry boy to a nother. Tha n k you.
We got I ta I i a n I em onade, j ust m ade. Two dol I a rs a g I ass.
I rea I ly a ppreci ate that. I t better be good.
You tel I me it's not good.
Even though it is nonrefundable. [ Laughs ]
I got seven left on my tray. Keep goi ng.
This is somethi ng I 've never seen i n the Vil lage. Al l-American lemonade stand.
I gotta do it because you tried so hard.
Yep. Thank you very m uch. How did we tally up, gentlemen?
[ Troy] Uh, I don't want to be that arrogant to think I beat the women,
but I also want to be that confident to think I beat 'em.
And I don't th i n k that I beat a nybody.
I think that we beat 'em.
Gentlemen, fantastic job. Good job today, g uys.
[ T ogether ] One, two, th ree, Versacorp.
Goodjob. Fantastic.
Okay, fol ks, I ' m rea I ly busy today,
so we' re gon na go q u i ckly.
Carolyn, how di d they do? The m en.
U m, I thi nk they found a location very quickly.
I think they tapped into some local resources and other shops, et cetera.
And they were able to double their money. It's not bad business.
So, they dou bl ed thei r m oney. N ot bad. Mm-hmm.
Not bad. Tha n k you, s i r.
N ow we fi nd out the other s i de. George?
I t sta rted off as m ass confusi on. I was a I ot tal I er than I am now, but I ran my legs off.
After a while they did get their act together.
I though that they sold pretty wel l. And they not only doubled thei r money, they quadrupled it.
They made, uh, over $ 1,200.
What can I say? The num bers speak for themselves.
Men, you only doubled your money.
But the women had a 400% profit.
The women are the winners ofthe first task. And it wasn 't even close.
[ Cheeri ng ]
Wom en, g reat job. As a I i ttl e treat,
you' re gon na see the n i cest a pa rtm ent i n N ew York Ci ty.
I t's my a pa rtm ent. So you be up there-- 1 :0 0 at my apartment.
Guys, they ki I led you. They real ly gave you a good beati ng.
So you're not gonna be seeing my apartment.
You' re gonna be seei ng the boardroom where somebody has to get fi red.
[ Cheeri ng, Applaudi ng ]
I think we sold as much lemonade as we possibly could.
There are a couple of holes i n how we did the planni ng process and bei ng too frenzied i n the begi nni ng.
But I think after I learned how well the girls did...
I felt like, "Okay, we could've done a lot better:"
I d i d n't expect them to outpace us by, you know, $7 0 0 or whatever.
That's a I ot.
- [ Nick ] I'm happy for 'em. - Where's the bread at?
I ' m s u re they di d a great job.
[ Man ] They obviously did. Obvi ously.
[ Troy] Theyjust spanked us, and we 'll come back.
So, I et 'em -- I et 'em rea p the rewa rds ri ght now.
But don 't-- don 't get us wrong. We would've rather been there. That's the part that sucks.
[ Bowie ] I'm disappointed that we 're not going up to Trump 's penthouse.
It would've been nice-- and they have nothing to worry, about tonight.
They know tom orrow, they' I l a I l be there.
Obviously, we need tips from the ladies. That's right.
Yeah.
Oh, my God. [ Ch uckl i n g ]
Oh-- Th i s ki nda rem i nds m e of my house.
Oh, my God. Y eah. I feel I i ke I ' m at hom e.
Wait a minute. L ook at this door.
H i. Wel com e to Mr. T rum p's hom e.
Oh, my God. Thank you.
Look at that view.
So amazing. Oh, my God.
Thi s i s I i ke ri ch. Thi s i s I i ke real ly, real ly ri ch.
L ook at this. You guys, come here. Oh, my God.
When we went up to Donald's apartment--
words ca n't descri be how bea uti fu I i t was.
Everything you saw was breathtaking.
And we got to meet his girlfriend, Melania,
who i s a m azi n g as wel l.
Hi. H i. I ' m Mel a n i a.
Pl eas u re to m eet you. N i ce to m eet you.
H i. how a re you? H ow a re you?
[ Chatteri ng ]
Wow. That's g reat. Of course.
H ow do you cl ean a house I i ke thi s?
Wel l, you have people to clean up. [ Laughi ng ]
I don't think she's doing it. [ Heidi ] Well, you're very,, very, lucky.
Oh, thank you. And he 's not lucky?
- Oh, no. No! - H e's very I ucky.
H el I o, everybody. You don't even know who I a m.
See? H i.
Con g ratu I ati ons. Tha n k you.
So, I ook, i f you' re rea I ly s uccessful,
you' I l al I l ive just I i ke this. We can only wish.
- Maybe not I i ke this-- - Maybe not.
Or maybe even better.
I f you' re real ly successful, this is what it is. And it's fun.
I show this apartment to very, few people.
Presi dents, ki ngs.
Let me give you a I ittle tour. Oh, yea!
Okay? Come on. Okay.
And they wal k i n, they look around, and they real ly can't bel ieve what they're seei ng.
Theyjust feel it's amazing.
Watch over here.
- You'll see something-- - Oh, my God.
We got to see a different side of hi m, a more personable side.
He was having a lot more fun.
[ Trump ] Okay. This is the dining room.
[ Tammy ] When 's the last time you actually ate dinner here? U h, a I on g ti m e a go.
That's a very, good question. It 's a very, good question.
So, th i s i s the beg i n n i n g. N ow you have to put on you r com peti tive hat a ga i n,
forget a bout th i s a nd go out a nd work, a nd see how you can do.
- Because you want to wi n. - Thanks for havi ng us.
Okay? Enjoy yourselves. Thank you, everybody.
Bye. Bye, everyone.
He gave us some advice.
He said, "Work hard and have fun."
And I real ly, truly bel ieve that that's how he I ives his I ife.
[ Chatteri ng ] Oh, my gosh. This is so rich.
This is I i ke real ly rich.
Guys, all I'd like to say is, uh, every,body did a greatjob. Fantastic.
Girls just did better.
I think one thing is that tonight at 5:00-- whether we do this now or later--
we' re gon na be posed wi th a very d i ffi cu I t q uesti on.
Someone 's gonna have to accept, to some degree, responsibility for this.
Who's wa I ki n g out of here today? And why?
[ Bowie ] I'm worried without a doubt about going in tonight.
I have no idea what to expect. I feel like I'm a good debater,
but I know Dona I d T ru m p ca n out-debate m e a nyti m e...
a nd wi I l ca I l m e a nd ki nd of th row m e u nder the bus.
I wou I d go i n th i n ki ng, you know, thi nki ng as a uni t, because that's--
[ Bill] But I think we need to know when we leave there, we 're gonna be one man short.
I m ean-- Y eah.
I don't thi nk there's any denyi ng-- I m ean-- Som ebody's gonna be i n the crosshai rs.
[ Troy] You're starting to look at each other and go,
"All right. Is there lines being drawn in the sand?"
You just don 't know.
Ri g ht now, I ' m goi n g to the boa rd room -- a nd I ' m the tea m ca pta i n.
I ' m the one that was el ected to g u i de th i s s h i p to s uccess or fa i I u re.
So, I have a certain amount ofaccountability.
J ust one thi ng I ask-- We prai se peopl e fi rst, cri ti cize second. Of course. Yeah.
State the posi tives fi rst, and the negatives second.
It's nothing personal. It's business.
[ Laughing ]
In a few minutes I'm gonna get ready to go to the boardroom meeting...
where we s i t down wi th T ru m p a nd h i s, u h, vi ceroys.
Actua I ly, I ' m som ewhat I ooki ng forwa rd to i t.
U m, I ' m confi dent i n my a bi I i ty at verbal sel f-defense...
and able to go on the aggressive ifneed be.
I think multiple people are worried, but the only one with a high degree of anxiety is Sam.
You get you r a nxi ety a I l u p. Settl e down. Good I uck.
Deep breath, i n. [ I n ha I es ] Good I uck.
Let i t out, swa m i. Let i t out. Deep breath. Do i t for m e. [ I n ha I es ]
[ Exhal es ] Man, doesn't that feel good? Settle down, man.
[ Sam ] I'd like to take down some notes on the computer.
I wanna have some praise and some constructive criticism...
about every,body on the team.
I'm personally getting bad energy from-- from David.
If Trump 's looking forward to his future president,
I think he may see that David's not the guy, and he may oust him out immediately.
But you don 't know. You don 't know.
You don ' t know what gets that g uy goi n g...
a nd what he's eva I uati ng.
I t i s n't j ust a bout sel I i ng I em onade, that I know.
Good luck. See you, every,body.
Good-bye. Good I uck. Thank you very m uch.
Bye, guys. Bye-bye.
- See you i n a bi t. - Take care.
You had a I i ttl e bi t of a rough day.
- George, what do you thi nk? - Worki ng for T rum p i s a very serious busi ness.
Whoever's gonna get the job ulti mately...
is gonna spend a lot oftime with me.
And I don't want to deal with an idiot. What's easier than sel I i ng lemonade?
What do you need? Location. Location. Location.
You gotta pick out the spot where the most people are that are your potential customers.
Some of the locations were better than others.
We were i nitial ly i n a great location right next to the Seaport.
I do know that Fulton Street Fish Market is right next to it.
Ijust thought it would be an easy place to get to, set up quickly...
a nd be ready for the I u nchti m e crowd.
Setting up at the Fulton Fish Market with the stink of, you know, of the fish market--
to m e, u h, i t's not very tem pti ng.
David, ifyou were the team leader, do you think the result would have been diffierent?
N ot i n th i s case beca use sa I es i s not my forte.
- [ George ] Sam? - Yes, I think things would have been diffierent.
- You th i n k you wou I d've won? - Pa rt of bei n g a I eader, pa rt of bei ng a coach...
is that you put your ideas out there,
a nd you m a ke s u re that they' re at I east tri ed.
[ Trump ] You don 't think Troy did a very, goodjob then.
Fi rst of a I l, T roy i s a h ustl er of the nth deg ree.
And he d i s pl ayed som e a m azi ng I eaders h i p q ua I i ti es.
I think Troy's weakness yesterday was my weakness.
- I t's I i sten i ng s ki I l s. - J ason, what about you?
You've been si tti n' here very qui etly. Got som ethi ng to say?
I ' m just ki nda I i steni ng to what everybody says, and, uh--
U nfortunately, at this poi nt, I isteners we got plenty.
- We need talkers. - I-- I understand that. But I'm not just gonna talk to talk.
Everybody here's a good I eader. I ' m not gon na a rg ue wi th that. And I ' I l sti ck u p for everybody on that.
- But the probl em -- - But they were sayi ng T roy i sn't a good leader.
What I -- Wel l, I didn't fi nish. I 'm sayi ng that--
Jason, let me just say something. When you're try,ing to be chosen by someone,
you don 't interrupt them and say, "L et me finish:"
That's n u m ber one, you know, i n term s of I i fe.
- W e' re ta I ki n g a bout I i fe, ri g ht, fel I as? - Y es. Y es, s i r.
So, when I as k you a q uesti on, a nd I ' m not fi n i s hed wi th the questi on,
you don't say, " Let me fi nish."
That's a bad move, you know.
J ason, do you thi nk ifyou were the leader, the result would have been different?
- Yes, I thi nk the result would have been different. - Why, J ason?
Troy was the leader. Really the leader's supposed to listen,
take everythi ng i n, and then at that poi nt deci de what's goi ng on.
N ot al I of a sudden get out of the gate and start delegati ng.
- Do you thi nk they would've I istened to you? - Yeah, 'cause I would've I istened to them.
See, I thi nk that's busi ness school stuff. You have to act, not just I isten.
- Troy. - I t's easy to answer these questions today--
Monday-morni ng quarterback. Because you're a Monday-morni ng quarterback.
That's ri ght. You're ri ght. But, by God, I had the balls to step up,
and I kept positive with my team as much as I could.
I told Kwame, this is the location, I back you up.
You m ade you r deci s i on. That's i t.
As fa r as T roy i s concerned, he d i d del egate.
I f you pi ck the ri g ht person, you' re a hero.
I f you pi ck the wrong person, you' re a bum. I t's as si m ple as that.
I also thinkyou have to have the ability to make the decision and make it stick.
And m ay God have m ercy that you m ade the ri ght one.
[ Carolyn ] Well, I actually do disagree with the two ofyou.
I th i n k you were very i ncons i stent i n you r I eaders h i p. You backed u p Kwa m e, but you di dn't back up Sam.
- [ Trump ] So, you're saying he was a selective leader. - I th i n k he was a sel ective I eader.
Who do you think,Jason? Who 's the worst leader?
I wou I d proba bly say Sa m.
- Sa m. - Sa m.
Wow.
Sa m.
- [ Kwame ] I would actually say Sam as well. - Sa m.
Is that because Sam is going over the edge?
I ca n a nswer that q uesti on. Yes.
He doesn 't earn the respect of the team.
Sam, so who do you think is the worst leader?
Davi d.
- Why i s he the worst I eader? - I don 't know if David believes in himself as a leader.
Oh, rea I ly?
- Sa m, they a re ki I l i n g you. - I wa nt to m a ke som eth i ng rea I ly cl ea r, 'ca use I ' m getti ng angry.
By doing what he did, did he go over the edge?
- H e went over the edge. - Every, one ofthese guys...
thi nk that you' re not so hot.
- But you have to be careful. - You're making the decision.
- You' re m a ki ng the deci s i on. - I ' m m a ki ng the deci si on. That's true. Absol utely true.
But you have to be careful, Sam.
I f I ' m you r presi dent, Mr. T rum p-- I ' m gonna stand ri ght here i n front of you,
and I ' m gonna say it i n front of everybody here.
I will not break the rules foryour organization.
I f you tel I m e I ' m com i ng cl ose, I wi I l stop.
I f you have to punch m e i n the stom ach...
and tel I m e to si t down and shut up, I ' I l shut up.
And I ' I l learn, Mr. T rum p. I don't want to work for anybody else i n this country.
I come and work for you and be your apprentice and fol low the rules.
You want to work for the best. I 'm learni ng here--
- That's a big stretch. - No, it's not a big stretch for me, Mr. T rum p, because I learn fast--
You don't bel ieve i n the genetic pool? Excuse me?
- That what you have you have. - I 've got genetic pool bi g ti me, Mr. T rum p,
just I i ke you got from your father, Fred T rum p, and your mother, Mary T rum p.
All right. Well, I hope you're right. I hope you're right.
N ow I i sten. T roy, you m ay be the project m anager,
but you're not the only one responsible for the failure of this corporation.
I want you to tell me who the two people are...
you feel are equally responsible foryour team 's loss...
a nd rea I ly wou I d not be essenti a I ly a good pres i dent...
of one of my com pa n i es.
I ' m gon na as k Sa m to joi n us i n the boardroom.
I al so thi nk that David should joi n us i n the boardroom.
Okay. I'm gonna ask the five--
Jason, Nick, Kwame, Bowie and Bill-- go back up to the suite.
You three-- Troy, Sam and David-- go outside.
W e' re gon na have a I i ttl e d i scuss i on, a nd you' I l com e back m om enta ri ly.
Tha n k you, s i r.
[ Trump ] How do you feel about Troy?
I see h i m tu rn on the cha rm. But I 've actual ly seen hi m i n acti on.
I thi nk he was somewhat i nconsistent.
David, Donald T rum p is a forward-thi nki ng guy.
I don't sense thatyou are necessarily gonna be the guy who 's ultimately...
gonna be the presi dent of one of hi s organizati ons. J ust have to wai t and see.
I'll tellyou what I didn 't like about David.
You asked David, "Did Sam step over the line?"
Sam di d not step over that I egal I i ne. H e di d not break the rul es.
That's i m portant that you say that,
because I sort of thought he did, and you were there, and you don't thi nk he did.
I 'm gonna be the president ofThe T rum p Organization.
I can't do it today. I can't do it today.
You know what I 'm doing right now? I 'm like this. I 'm like this.
And you know what? Maybe we should all crawl in there, because you know what--
I al ready said, " Denial is a river in Africa."
I 'm not denyi ng anythi ng. T oday, I 'm crawl i ng.
T omorrow, I 'm gonna be I i ke this. Next week, I 'm gonna be I i ke this.
And i n a couple weeks, I 'm gonna stand up there, just I i ke he does,
and I 'm gonna be promoted to president of his organization.
Now you're Homo erectus, okay?
I I i ke Sam. I thi nk he's a risk taker.
You don't thi nk you have to watch hi m constantly? Yeah.
Yeah. But that's al I right. You've been taki ng risks al I your I ife.
We'l I fi nd out if I hung myself. Mm-hm m.
I 'm not gonna say any more.
Al I right. Let me get Robi n.
Robi n, let 'em come i n, please.
Okay. You can go i n and see Mr. T rum p now.
[ Trump ] So, Troy, I know why you picked Sam.
I don't know why you picked David. What happened?
I thi nk David is a fantastic logistics person, num bers person.
I thi nk that he is gonna make a great right-hand man.
[ Trump ] So you don't think David would make a good leader?
That is correct.
And Sam you picked because he's just sort of uncontrol led.
You wouldn't necessari ly trust hi m with your bank account?
- Sam's a maverick. - Would you trust hi m with your bank account?
Absol utely not.
With me, I was born with principles, I was born with values, and more so, I was born with genes.
- And you don't th i n k he's got those pri nci pl es? - T roy, you' re-- you' re getti n' roug h here.
Foryou to say that you would not trust me with your bank account...
i s sayi ng you thi nk I am di shonest.
Maybe i t's-- I want you to arti cul ate that to m e.
Maybe i t's I ack of di screti on, not I ack of honesty.
Troy, you've done a lousyjob as the leader.
Really. The women kickedyou around badly.
Andyou've done a badjob.
Despite that, you did step up, and you do have potential.
So, I'm gonna let you stay.
Tha n k you, s i r.
N ow, Sa m, i t seem ed to be u na n i m ous that--
I don't even th i n k i t's I ack of I eaders h i p.
- Si t down. - Tha n k you, M r. T ru m p.
You gotta be careful, 'cause you' re a wi ld man.
You'll do great, oryou'll be a total disaster.
I haven't fi gured it out yet.
David, on the complete opposite side.
I don 't see that you stepped up at all.
You even admitted that you wouldn 't have been a good leader.
As you both know, we have a n el evator that goes u p to the s u i te,
a nd a n el evator that goes down to the street.
One ofyou will stay,
and one ofyou will be sent home.
And, Davi d, I ' m gonna ask you to take the down el evator.
You' re fi red.
I ' m sorry to hear that.
Go ahead, fel las.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thankyou.
- Thank you, Mr. T rum p. - Good I uck.
[ Trump ] With David I'm not seeing anything. I think he 's very, smart.
I think he 's a lovely guy. But I'm not seeing it.
That was very i nteresti ng...
and somewhat surprising.
My experi ence i n the s u i te was okay.
U m, i t was a I m ost too q u i ck of a ti m e i nterva l...
to fu I ly j udge i t.
I thought Sam 's song-and-dance routine was absolutely ludicrous.
Mr. Trump acknowledged that Sam might be a disaster.
I think that 's probably the pretty likely outcome.
I ta ke sol ace i n the fact that I have a h i g her I.Q. tha n the other 1 5 contesta nts.
Wh i ch j ust goes to s how you that there's I i ttl e correl ati on...
between I.Q. and success i n lemonade sales.
