Dressed to Kill The Apprentice USA

-Previously...

-To put on a Broadway play or musical, you need backers.

Your task is to produce a backers' audition.

On the men's team, project manager Steuart

found a way to manage David, by utilising his talents.

I want Nan centre stage.

-And we begin.

-While on the women's team...

..Stephanie was disappointed by the role given to her

-by project manager Liza.

-I'm a musical expert!

I studied with the Royal Conservatory.

-Why am I out

-BLEEP

-printing a flier?

The next day, after two strong presentations,

Mr Trump announced the winner...

-The men's team.

-..and David's efforts were recognised.

One of the best comebacks I've seen.

But the women came under fire for their marketing materials.

I don't even know how to get in touch with anybody.

-Whose fault is it?

-Ultimately, the ladies who went to do the graphic design...

-I am a music expert.

-I know. And why weren't you the project manager?

At the beginning, I thought it was "theatre."

-You knew it was musical, because I said musical.

-No, I didn't.

You lied to me.

Left to face Mr Trump, Brandy brought up new information

that turned the boardroom on its ear.

Mahsa told the men's team, in the last task,

how much we made in the task.

-It's such

-BLEEP!

Is that true?

Yes. Clint told me, too, sir.

And Mahsa's accusations forced Clint to take action.

I wanted to come back and clear my name.

I never divulged the number that our team made.

In the end, Mahsa paid for her mistake.

-Do you think you made a mistake?

-I absolutely made a mistake.

Mahsa, you're fired.

TENSE MUSIC PLAYS

CLINT: You know, Mahsa and I have never had a cross word.

Why do you think she invoked my name?

Because she was... it was a sinking ship.

-You didn't say anything, so why would...?

-Of course not.

I was shocked that she would actually tell me a number.

'The win is very bittersweet.'

It's more bitter than sweet, but I feel like I've been vindicated.

'I'm here for a bigger reason than myself,'

and I'm not gonna be thrown under the bus like that.

I fundamentally disagreed with Mahsa's approach to the game,

and that's why I brought it up in the boardroom today.

'I definitely have a fire within me,

'and I will stand up for what I believe in.'

She was gonna be a tough one to take down, and I'm glad she's gone.

And I'm glad I was the one that did it, to be quite honest.

I have rid myself of my problems.

I like everybody else on the team now.

Who did the graphic-design stuff? Who did the promotional items?

No-one. That's the thing. We were supposed to focus on marketing.

Who worked with the printer? Who worked with the designer?

-You were...

-I wasn't there.

-The last person to work

with the printer, you forgot to put the contact information.

-Why aren't you minding your own

-BLEEP

-business?

That's a great comeback. Ohh!

-Who are you to call me out?! Who are you to call me out?

-You're a liar.

-You lied to Mr Trump!

-You weren't even there!

-I didn't lie!

-You lied to Mr Trump.

-You're such an idiot! Shut the

-BLEEP

-up!

I think you're really classless.

-I have never been called classless by some

-BLEEP

-punk.

And anyone who pushes me up against a wall

and criticises me out of the blue, who are you to judge me?

You weren't even there.

No-one has the right to call anyone out unless you were there.

-I'm sorry.

-You just need to convince yourself,

and it looks like you've done that, so congratulations.

'He's on his high horse, thinking he has the right to judge everyone.'

Talk about classless, Anand.

'I wouldn't want to work with someone like that.'

STEUART: Mr Young.

-Steuart, how are you?

-Very good.

-Nice to see you.

-Welcome to Snapple theatre.

-Thank you for having me.

-Have a seat.

'I won the Broadway task'

and got the opportunity to now meet Larry Young,

'the CEO Of Snapple. What's great about it for me is,

'I want to be in the distribution business.'

So it'll be really awesome to leverage his knowledge

and be able to just learn anything I can

in the amount of time I've got with him.

It's a complex business.

It's something you have to stay on top of all the time.

-It's tough. It's very tough.

-It is.

-Especially in this, this economy.

I tell the guys at work,

whether you're marketing a brand or just your name,

you got to believe in it

and really make people know who you are out there.

'My meeting with Larry was really informative.'

And, hopefully, all the information I gain from him,

'I can use back in the real world.'

You got to love what you do, and you got to laugh every day.

Maybe he'll start distributing one of my brands one day.

-All the best, pal.

-Appreciate it.

-All right.

HEROIC MUSIC PLAYS

-Good morning.

-ALL: Good morning.

Now, what I'm going to do is switch teams.

And I want Brandy and Liza to go with Clint and Steuart. Switch over.

-Come on, let's go.

-Here we go, boys.

Liza, Steuart, Brandy, Clint, you're a team.

Stephanie, David, Anand, Poppy, you're a team.

'I didn't want to be with Anand.'

If he tries to bully me around,

'I will put him in his place any time of day.'

I'm not gonna break. I'm gonna come at you.

OK, we're standing in front of Macy's at Herald Square,

the largest department store anywhere in the world.

To my right is Terry Lundgren,

the president and chairman of Macy's.

Years ago, Terry approached me about doing a line

of Donald Trump shirts, ties, and cuff links.

They've been a tremendous success. Is that right, Terry?

That's absolutely right. I'm dressed head to toe in Donald Trump.

Oh, very good. Very good. And so am I.

What you're going to do is a four-page advertisement

for Donald J Trump signature line shirts, ties, and cuff links.

Terry, how will you be judging them?

I'm gonna judge your advertisements on the following criteria -

creativity, brand integration,

and of course the overall presentation of the work.

With me are my advisers -

my sons, Eric and Don.

Who is your project manager? Decide.

-I mean, I haven't been one. I can be it.

-OK.

You guys will have to back me up,

cos I don't know anything about shirts and cuff links.

-I'll take it.

-Oh, yeah.

-And I got a good layout.

-You got a good team.

-OK. That sounds good.

David, who's your project manager?

-Mr Trump, I am, sir.

-You are again, David?

-Yes, sir.

'I'm on a hot streak.

'I got some praise from Mr Trump in the boardroom.'

And when you have a hot hand, you play it. And so I decided to step up

'and be project manager.'

-Clint, who is your project manager?

-Brandy has stepped up.

-Brandy.

I love a well-dressed man, so...

All right. Very good. Remember one thing -

this is a very personal task, because it has to do with me.

Do a great ad and impress me, please.

Good luck.

JAZZY MUSIC PLAYS

This is gonna be fun.

All right.

'Team Fortitude is now David, Anand, Stephanie, and myself.'

David has been described as a loose cannon

'by his fellow male teammates.'

We'll see.

-I think I'm pretty strong working with models.

-Two parts to this.

I've been assigned working with models, with actors every time.

Wait. Let me chime in for one second.

-This is a male line of clothing.

-It is.

-Right.

-So I think we need men's input, as well.

-'Anand and Poppy - '

they got a good eye for fashion.

This is what I want you to do.

Get the models in here, make sure everything fits, they look good.

'Poppy's got, you know, youthful appeal'

that will, you know, relate to the models in many ways.

We need a concept, of course.

What if you did black-and-white?

Like the Trump bar scene was all black-and-white.

-But everybody was in colour!

-Except for the shirts.

-Except for the shirts and ties.

-Yeah.

-That's artistic.

-And that showcases the...

-And the cuff links, of course, so you get

cuff links are popping, shirts and ties.

-Everything else is in black-and-white.

-Yes!

We want to take the focus off the very good-looking people

that we'll have in this shot and put it on the clothing.

So I figured, black-and-white for the non-important parts

and vivid colour for the clothing we're showing off.

I think it'll be eye-catching. I think it'll be original.

-It'll look frickin' swanky.

-FINGERS SNAPPING

-Swank and flair.

-Yeah.

CLINT: There are three things

-that men want.

-Yeah. The money, power, sex?

-And Mr Trump bespeaks all three of those.

-Absolutely.

'This is Mr Trump's baby.'

These are his shirts. This is his tie.

'When I think of Trump products,'

it's power, it's wealth, it's sexual prowess.

How about, like, tying in a story?

Like, as you open the pages, it just kind of

leads you into, like, this guy's life. I don't know...

He's at work. He goes out to a nightclub.

I was thinking the morning-after scene.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Like, the woman wearing the men's shirt.

See, that's exactly what I was thinking.

-And the man on the bed...

-Yeah.

-You know, something very sexual.

'As project manager,

'I just wanted to do something that pushed the envelope.'

And I think the idea of a woman wearing a man's dress shirt

is sort of unexpected - certainly, in a Macy's ad.

I don't even mind having the words "power," "sex," "wealth."

-I don't actually like using the word "sex," so let's just...

-No, I...

I think we're gonna convey them in a way without saying the words.

-That's the way to go.

-'When the team was throwing the word "sex" out,'

every time I would hear it, I felt kind of,

"is that appropriate?" You know?

'I really didn't feel like sex

'was part of the Donald J Trump signature collection.

'It was his name on this brand.

'And so we really have to be careful how we portray his image.'

I think it's so sexy, you guys. I'm really excited about it.

-STEUART:

-So, you're just dropping us off.

-We literally are getting out.

-And we're heading home.

'Our task is to create'

a four-page magazine advertisement

for the Donald J Trump signature collection

'at Macy's. So, Clint and Liza were going to run a few errands,

'and Brandy and I were gonna be dropped off at Trump SOHO to get started on the photo shoot.'

Hi, this is Steuart from Octane.

-'How are you?'

-Good. We don't see anybody here.

We're in the - we're in the lobby. And no models.

TENSE MUSIC PLAYS

-'No models?'

-'Before we left for the Trump SOHO,'

we called the modelling agency

and told them to send over our models.

Well, there are no models.

Yeah, we're on the main floor and there's not a single person here.

They knew that we were under such a time deadline

that we just weren't gonna be able

'to get the shots done if we didn't have some models.'

-OK?

-Yeah. Done. Good decision.

'I think I'm a pretty good-looking guy, so I don't think Mr Trump'

is gonna have an issue with me being the featured actor,

so to speak, in this advertisement.

So, we're having a little issue here.

'Right now, Brandy and I are gonna shoot the bedroom scene.'

We're gonna keep this pretty simplistic,

and we're gonna utilise the models in the other scenes.

-So I...

-'The model has to be, uh,'

you know, the legs are gonna have to be really something.

-She has beautiful...

-You know, stunning.

-I got to admit, I've never looked at Brandy's legs.

-She has good legs.

'All right, I'm told that she has good legs.' I'm sure Steuart

had to have his arm twisted

halfway up his back to where he finally had to say,

"Oh, well. The models aren't here. I guess I'll be the model."

'There is a lot of risk for them to be models in their own ad campaign.

'That could come back to bite us.'

This is not how I wanted this to go.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYS

-Oh, here are some of our models.

-Oh, our models.

-Hello.

-'We were assigned'

12 models. And from those 12, we could pick 6 models.

You guys want to start, you know,

wearing some of these clothes, just seeing how they look?

But the actual first one through the door

had the look we were looking for.

I liked it. It was regal. It was youthful.

I think he's great. I think he's definitely...

I mean, I just imagine pulling his hair to the side.

-So do I.

-Here, check him out.

SHE CHUCKLES I like him.

I mean, I don't even care who else comes in the door.

-This is definite.

-So, you want him front page?

-I want front page.

-All right.

-Oh, yeah.

-Congratulations. You're gonna be on the front page.

-You just made front page.

-Oh, nice.

-'David had made a decision,

'when he saw that first model walk in the door,'

that this was gonna be the face of our advertorial.

-He's awesome. He's awesome.

-Yeah, he's awesome.

'David seems to have some man-crush on this model,

'because he was all over this guy from the moment he walked in.'

I love your look. You're the star of my show.

-SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

-Out of all the models, like,

not a single model's in the lobby.

Good thing you're cute, huh?

-Hey! How are you?

-What's going on? How are you?

-Real good.

-Is everything well?

Wow! Hey, look at this.

We don't have any models, so we're playing house.

Hey, you're both good-looking people, right?

'It's great to see Brandy take the initiative and be in the ad.

'The risk she ultimately faces is the fact that she's spending'

more time getting hair and make-up done

and less time actually making sure

that everybody else is doing their jobs.

We're gonna kind of get a little risque,

and he's gonna have his hand on her thigh

so that we can see the cuff link very clearly.

And then the next is,

they're gonna be waking up in a room together,

and she's gonna be wearing his shirt.

And that's what we're gonna shoot right now.

The one concern I really have is that it's too racy.

I think they have to think of the whole Trump Corporation,

as opposed to just what they're doing in this message.

If they really go over the edge, I think it might be too much.

Anthony, throw this on for me just real quick to see -

just so I can get an image with you. Ohh! How dapper can you be.

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING MAN: Eyes to me.

-That looks good! That looks really good.

-It looks great.

'Thank god I have Stephanie on the team.'

Stephanie seemed to get my vision.

'I think it was clear for her.'

'You know, it just felt really good'

to have that reassurance from a fellow teammate,

-'and Stephanie gave me that.'

-Love it.

I think - I mean...

Is that a problem with any of these other guys?

What about this guy in the pink?

Much to my dismay, the shirt didn't even fit the model.

-But with a face like that, do you think I can lose?

-Let's hope not.

We were working with several models

who did fit a lot of the shirts that we had.

But David just was so in love with this guy,

and thought that he was the perfect man for the cover,

that David didn't care, and he wouldn't listen to anybody.

A good-looking man. Like I said, if I didn't have all these kids,

you know, might go gay. SHE LAUGHS

UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS

I can either be in a Trump shirt, like,

-looking through ties...

-Yeah, you should be picking out your tie.

'Our concept is a day in the life of a Trump-type man.'

He wakes up with his woman, he goes to the boardroom,

then he goes to happy hour at night.

When I originally saw it in my mind,

I saw, like, a really tall skinny model.

I didn't see my stubby legs sticking out of the bottom.

But that's why, you know,

-maybe in the bed might be just more appropriate?

-Yes.

'We didn't have any models when we needed to start shooting,'

so Steuart and I had to step in and act as the faux models

in order to get this task done.

'We look like people that others can relate with,

'and I do think it was the right decision.'

Good morning, Ms Glosser and Mr Lundgren.

-LUNDGREN: Thank you.

-Team Octane is proud

to present a four-page promotional advertising layout

for the Donald J Trump shirts, ties, and cuff links

sold exclusively at Macy's.

'The team agreed that I would be the one'

to do the presentation, because I had been

'singled out as a good speaker by Mr Trump in a previous task.'

But I was really nervous. I could hear my voice shaking a bit.

Here, a strong male figure is getting ready

to take on his busy day

while his wife or girlfriend lounges playfully in the bedroom

as if the two enjoyed a romantic evening on...

and a night on the town the evening before.

In the next shot, we see our alpha male again

with his buddies smartly dressed

in the Trump signature collection apparel and acc...accessories.

With his hand resting gently on her thigh,

we see a self-assured man who commands respect.

As she plays with his tie,

we also appreciate the great attention to detail

that is a hallmark of the Trump signature collection.

Thank you very much for your presentation.

Great. Thank you so much.

'I am the one to blame if we lose on this task.

'And I really want to stay in the game.'

I really love my team, and, hopefully, we succeeded.

MID-TEMPO JAZZ PLAYS

-Hello.

-LUNDGREN: Hello.

-Hello.

-Hi.

-Thank you for having us.

I decided to go with a...

"Let the clothing speak for itself" theme.

So we decided to mute down the tone of our models

and bring out the clothing so that we could see

what is important to the businessman.

And it is clothing.

'I like to just go'

and let it all out without rehearsing.

'Think of what you want to say and just let it go.'

I wanted to make the feel of the '20s, if you will,

when the youth could change the shape of America.

'I am so proud of what I've created,'

I just wanted to show it off.

We also wanted to highlight, you know, the looks.

We shaped it kind of as the symbol of Mr Trump, with a T.

I just want to say, you know, in closing,

thank you for letting us work

with a great product and a great company like Macy's.

-Thank you.

-Terrific.

-Thank you very much.

-Thanks.

Let's talk about Octane's presentation.

First of all, the brochure.

I thought the creativity here really demonstrated the points

-they were trying to make about the brand.

-I was a little bit concerned.

I thought this first page of the ad, with the woman lying on the bed,

could be a little bit racy for the brand.

Right, and as a store that sells to families,

you know, I'm always concerned about that subject.

I think that Brandy was very articulate.

But, a few times, Brandy did refer to the line

as the Trump signature collection.

It is called the Donald J Trump signature collection.

So, let's talk about Fortitude.

-David's actual presentation was quite good.

-Yes, very much so.

I actually like the way that they did the background

in black-and-white,

and it did make the product pop a little bit more.

Right, right. The colours really come through with that background.

But what bothers me, these models do not fit the clothes.

This guy's neck is too small for this shirt on the front page here.

I was interested in their T design.

However, I didn't love that their product shots were very small.

Too small. Details missing. So we've got a lot of pros and cons.

And now we're gonna have to make the final decision.

But they both did a great job, both teams,

and I think it's gonna be tough.

TRUMP INHALES DEEPLY

Brandy, how were you as a project manager?

Do you feel you were, like, a winner?

I think that our pictorial layout is beautiful.

-And yet you were in the ad.

-That was...

Do you think you look beautiful in the ad?

It was a little uncomfortable to get behind the camera...

You were also in front of the camera?

-That's true.

-Didn't I see you in the Trump shirt?

-You did, sir.

We really wanted to showcase the sexuality of the Trump brand

and put it in an eye-catching manner.

And by placing the shirt on a woman, we think we accomplished just that.

Liza, what do you think of Brandy? What did you think?

Brandy did an amazing job. I mean, I had no doubt, going into

this task that, when she was project manager, we'd have a good leader.

OK, good.

-So, Clint?

-Yes, sir?

-Did you miss David?

I think we got a great team, sir. I think we got a great team now.

A better team with or without David?

Uh, I think that these two ladies have brought

some amazing insight and some amazing tools to our team

that we grossly lacked.

And what about Steuart? I heard he was a model.

-CHUCKLES: He was a model.

-Was he a good model?

Well, he, uh, embodied what I think is the...the Trump attribute.

-Yes, sir, I think he did a good job.

-What is the Trump attribute?

That is, uh, wealth, power, and sexual prowess.

The last one is the most important above all.

LAUGHTER

-Without that, it doesn't matter. You do know that?

-I understand that.

CHUCKLES

-OK, David, talk to me.

-Sir.

-Talk to me, David.

-I will talk to you, sir.

What are you liking about what you did?

I like everything about what we did.

I'm very proud of our end result.

Who is your...? Oh, I see you're wearing the ties.

-Yes, sir.

-Let me just... Oh!

-Lookee. Lookee what we have. Poppy, that's very nice.

-Thank you.

-Stephanie, very nice.

-Thank you. I love it.

-Stephanie, what do you think of David?

-Coming in, I was unsure,

just because of the history and what we've seen.

And I was a nervous, thinking, "Oh, this is gonna be a train wreck."

However, I must say, he is a definite personality.

-That's for sure.

-He's eccentric. He's very dynamic.

But I really enjoyed meshing with the men,

because it brought new energy.

That's interesting. So, David, who was your weakest player?

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

You know, this is a very tough question to answer,

because 90% of this task was mine.

I feel like I shouldered most of it.

So it's hard to say "weak."

I know, as far as limited involvement,

Poppy had the least involvement.

Was that because of you or because of Poppy?

SIGHS: There was some miscommunication.

I delegated a job to her and Anand.

And I hate to call her "Poppy the puppy",

but it just seemed like she would follow Anand around

on the task I gave them together.

Poppy, how do you respond to that?

I was actually, um, talked to and spoken to

-in a very demeaning way.

-By who?

-Project manager.

-By David?

-Yes.

-I see.

How did he speak to you?

When Anand and I were working on the final page of the presentation,

which, I might add, was entirely my creation, he came up to me,

because the food for the models wasn't there yet.

And he came up to me and said, "Stop messing with the ties.

-"Your job is to entertain the models."

-Correct.

-What do you mean? Who gives a

-BLEEP

-about the models?

-Thank you.

-They're getting paid to be models.

-You don't have to entertain models.

-It wasn't just to entertain.

I tasked Anand and Poppy with the job

of dressing the models, feeding the models,

taking them from place to place.

None of it was done by Poppy.

I picked the models myself. She did not.

-I did not task her with doing...

-That's not true.

-Anand?

-Yes, sir?

-I picked five of the six models.

-Hold it, hold it, hold it.

-That's not true.

-What is true, Anand?

Well, David's making the claim that he picked all of the models.

He picked one model in particular,

and it was very, like, homoerotic what I saw.

I picked five out of six.

-It was very surprising, to be honest with you.

-What does that mean?

The moment he saw this one model,

who's the cover of our... of our advertisement,

David just had this ridiculous man-crush on this guy

and was just all goo-goo-gaga over this guy.

-It was very odd. It was very odd.

-David, are you gay?

Not at all, sir. Not... LAUGHTER

I wasn't insinuating that. I just thought it was very odd.

-Oh, god!

-I think you might have been!

-But the guy has five kids. I don't know.

-It happens.

You never know. And who cares, right, David?

I know guys who were married for 20 years that left with a guy.

I mean, they liked a guy, so, you know.

-Right, David? But that's not you?

-That's not me, sir, at all.

Are you sure you don't want to come out?

I am 100% sure I am not coming out.

LAUGHTER

But, Anand, you're not saying David's gay, are you?

Not that there's anything wrong with that, Mr Trump.

-LAUGHTER

-You know?

No, no. I think it's fine.

LAUGHTER FADES CHUCKLING: I mean, what do I say?

I mean, I'm not gay, damn it!

The model... the model was fantastic.

-If you look at his picture...

-David, David.

-..he's the man.

-That sounds pretty gay.

-Maybe you were trying it out.

DAVID LAUGHS

OK.

I'd like to see the two ads. Please show them the ad.

Swap them.

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

-Done.

-This doesn't look like up-and-coming professionals.

-All right.

-This is over.

DAVID GRIMACES I do not like that at all.

I can't do that.

We talked about that, and we said no.

Poppy, which ad do you like better?

I like the product placement of the Trump vodka

-and other Trump items in the Octane ad.

-Yeah.

However...the one thing that sets our ad apart is our actual -

the colouring and the last page, that we have everything featured.

-Right. Product information.

-And explicitly featured.

-Mm-hm.

-And I think that is very important.

-OK.

Clint, how do you feel about their ad?

It leaves me wanting, compared to our ad.

I think our ad hits all the points,

many more points than their ad hits.

Do you mind the fact that the shirt's

about nine sizes too big for the model that David's so in love with?

-It looks...

-That's something I don't like there.

I mean, the model - I know you think he's great,

but he's obviously got a very small neck.

Did you have a shirt that fit?

I mean, we make them in all different sizes.

So why did you pick a shirt that's about, I would say,

-two or three sizes too big for the model?

-I'll answer that.

Go ahead.

If Anand and I were permitted a little bit more jurisdiction

in the task that we were assigned,

we wouldn't have taken models with such small necks.

But, Poppy, did you ever actually protest the model to David?

-Um, actually, yes, I did.

-She did, she did.

-SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

-OK.

Just out of curiosity, Brandy,

you know, it seems to me that you've been very prudish.

You know, you don't like the outward-sex thing and all that,

although you're beautiful. How did you feel doing that ad?

A little risque, isn't it?

We didn't have any models arrive at the Trump SOHO.

And if I had not made the decision

for Steuart and I to be in the photo,

then we wouldn't have made our deadline.

So I think it was 100% the right choice.

Are you having an affair with Steuart?

-CHUCKLES: No, sir.

-Would you like to?

No, I would not, sir. I like older men, sir.

Oh. Oh.

That was a very smart...

You're hired! LAUGHTER

Brandy, you can head back to the suite(!)

LAUGHTER

Anyway...

OK.

Let's find out who won.

-All right?

-Yes, sir.

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

You think you won, David, right?

I have a lot riding on winning, so...

Well, do you think you won?

I still do.

Well, you didn't.

-Terry preferred Brandy's team.

-Good job, Brandy.

And, frankly... He's going to use the ad in a major Macy's campaign.

-Oh!

-Oh, my god!

-Awesome.

-He thought it was great work.

He thought it was imaginative. He thought it was beautiful.

And he really felt very strongly,

and there's nobody like Terry Lundgren.

So I want to congratulate you, Brandy, and your team.

-Thank you, sir.

-And as your award - and I think it's fantastic,

because he is the king - you're going to meet with Terry Lundgren...

-Oh, wow.

-That's too wonderful.

..head of Macy's, and spend some time with him.

And if you learn just a little bit of what he knows,

you're gonna be very successful.

-Thank you so much, sir.

-OK? Congratulations.

Go back to your suite. You can watch on television if you like.

ALL: Thank you.

-Good job.

-Thank you, Don.

-Thank you.

-Good job, guys.

BRANDY SHRIEKS

-It's a new team.

-I can't believe it.

The rest of you, stay here. Somebody will be fired.

David, that's very disappointing.

I thought your ad was very disappointing.

I thought your choice of the model was disappointing,

not because he's a bad-looking guy - he's a great-looking guy -

but I thought the worst thing in the whole deal

was the size of the shirt

not fitting properly around the neck.

What do you say?

When you create something and run it cradle to grave...

and you take ownership and you stand by something,

I have to absorb all the criticism as it is,

and it's all mine.

Poppy, did you want to choose a different model, right?

-Yes.

-Why didn't you?

David was extremely firm,

and it was more like a dictatorship,

-rather than a leadership.

-But that's OK, cos he's the project manager.

But sometimes, David, you have to listen to people.

Never was there a suggestion to me of, "let's use this."

I even had backup from Stephanie, saying, "Oh, yeah, he's our guy."

-STEUART:

-"Never was there a suggestion."

-CLINT: Oh, no!

-Don't go down that road, virus!

-CLINT LAUGHS

Maybe he can get Stephanie to lie in this boardroom.

LAUGHTER

I did like that model, because he was the tall...

he was the biggest, the tallest.

He was like 6'2". he was very big.

But in the shirt ad, like, you don't really see the tallness.

Right, but I didn't... I thought a guy that big will fit in the shirts.

I mean, he seemed like a big guy.

Poppy, you were very proud of the last page,

with the small pictures and the tie,

and yet that's what Terry liked the least.

Mm-hm.

Why shouldn't I fire you?

What I was proud about was the fact

that we discussed the product and what it is about.

The photos that Anand and I took

had a lot more product placement in them,

and David chose to not even consult anyone.

I didn't cho... I didn't choose any product photos at all.

It was your task. You did the back page solely.

You picked the photos of the cuff links...

Stephanie, is that right? Hold it. Is that right or not?

The back page was the products page that they provided, yes.

-It was for the product.

-So, could you see me firing Poppy?

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

Not in this case, sir, unfortunately, no.

I think that it's...it's sad, but I think David had a great vision,

but this was really his vision, and he made the decisions.

But what do you mean, "unfortunately,"

I shouldn't fire Poppy? You said that before.

Well, I said, unfortunate for David.

Right. What do you mean by that?

Well, this was all his.

-It was 90% his, as he stated, so he made all the decisions.

-I see.

So you're saying the word "unfortunately" related to David.

-To David. Yeah.

-OK. I get it.

-Yes.

-Anand, should I fire Poppy?

Absolutely not, sir.

You know, David put Poppy and I in charge of doing the photo shoot.

He gave us a vision, and we hit a home run with it.

He wanted us to actually shoot a scene at the Trump bar,

utilising every single one of our models,

showing a variety of ties, shirts, cuff links.

-That was David?

-That was David.

-But isn't that a good concept?

It's a great concept.

But where David screwed up was, when we came back

and we were very excited about the photographs that we had taken,

I sat David down and I said, "David, come check this out.

"We've got some great photos." David shunned me away.

-He did not want my input...

-I did.

-Why did you shun him away?

-Very simple.

-Why?

-I wanted a fresh look at all the photos.

We should be able to give input. This is a team effort.

-Do you agree that...?

-You picked a photograph that didn't show...

-No.

It only showed two models.

-It showed three.

-Two similar- coloured ties.

-Three models.

-And one of them was a woman.

-It adds to the mood, and it sets...

Were there any comments on the middle page?

You picked a photograph that didn't show any of the Trump vodka, any...

I'm not selling Trump vodka. I'm selling shirts, ties.

But one of the concepts that we were being graded on

was brand integration, and you picked the one photo

that didn't have any brand integration at all.

Also, the page on the back,

we actually needed to put all the models in there

and as much product as possible, because we were, at that point,

only showing three shirts with the first three pages.

-Poppy, but the pictures were this big.

-Agreed, agreed...

-You couldn't even see product in them, they were so small.

-I agree.

-That is something that...

-But that was your decision.

All right. David, I want you to let one person go.

So, tell me, who is the person

that least deserves to be fired on your team?

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

Uh, uh, Anand.

-Anand? Oh.

-Yes.

-So, you're going to keep Stephanie instead of Anand?

-I am. Yes.

-Interesting, Stephanie, isn't it?

-Mm-hm.

It's not for any other reason than we collaborated together,

and we were kind of in agreeance with this through the whole thing.

I got a lot of support from Stephanie. And when I have

a wingman who gives me their, "You got it, this is great,"

and I hear, "You should fire David, not Poppy,"

when Poppy did nothing, it's ridiculous.

-All right. Anand, go back to the suite.

-Thank you, Mr Trump.

Excuse me.

-Stephanie, sit down next to Poppy, please.

-Good luck, guys.

Thank you.

Stephanie, can the case be made that I should fire you?

No, I don't believe so, sir.

Can that case be made, Poppy? Should I fire Stephanie?

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS

I honestly believe that David is the person to be fired, sir.

You know, David, as a project manager,

-you're taking a big risk.

-Yes, sir.

-Because if you look at the great history of The Apprentice...

-Mm-hm.

..a project manager just... It's tough.

-Yes, sir.

-If you lose, the chances are you're not

gonna do as well as everybody else, and you understand that.

You know, I guess, if my first three pages

were good enough to maybe squeak by,

and the killer was the last page - I had no creative input at all.

-I let them run with it.

-But you know as project manager...

-I do, sir.

-..if you didn't love the last page,

you could've said, "Let's make the pictures bigger.

"Let's make something else."

-You could've done other things.

-That I could, sir.

We also had other photos that were magnificent

that Anand and I had taken and those could have been taken in place.

-Are you talking product photos or people photos?

-People photos.

You were very adamant, and everyone agreed,

that product needed to be put on the back.

-But she can't be adamant, cos you're the boss.

-Agreed.

-Are you the boss?

-I am the boss.

David, you're fired.

-Can I say something?

-Yes.

-It has been a pleasure.

I appreciate, you know, from all of you, the time of my life.

-So, Mr Trump, sir, thank you very much.

-Thank you, David.

-Good job.

-Mr Trump, thank you very much.

You've done yourself proud. Now get the hell out of here.

-Thank you, David. Pleasure working with you.

-Thank you, as well.

DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS

-Hey, goodbye.

-You did great, OK?

-So did you.

-You're a gentleman, David.

-Thank you, guys. Good luck.

-Thank you.

-Hello, sir.

-How's it going?

It's been better. I'll just say that.

Down, please.

Well, the risk goes with being project manager. We had no choice.

DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS

TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYS

You know, based on the circumstance,

I don't think Mr Trump had any other option than to fire me.

I was project manager. I took ownership of it.

There's a few things I could have done different.

And looking back, I can't change anything about it.

Woulda, shoulda, couldas. And, you know, I didn't.

Rockport presents Next Steps.

Now that The Apprentice is over, I have focus.

I've started my own company. I control my own destiny.

You know, Donald Trump is a great businessman,

and he does it, and he's built himself to what he is today.

So, you know, I figure, it's my turn.
