The Apprentice, Week 9: Home Depot, The Box, and Zero G
Original Air Date: 3/17/05
(PAGE 6 of 6)
Trump then points out Chris’s anger mismanagement, which makes Erin happy as a clam, because now she can launch another missile attack. “He uses foul language when he’s angry, because he can’t articulate himself well. He’s not an effective communicator—and that is part of doing business.”
Okay, I know this is still not ironic, but what is it when someone calls you inarticulate and you come back with “I’m very effective. I’m loyal, I’m integral, I’m honest”? Erin says, “I’m all of those things,” but I think she probably doesn’t mean that she’s integral. Because she is not an integer.
Now Trump is seriously getting mean, because he basically disses on Chris’s brain power. Chris replies that he didn’t get to where he is today without brain power, and Trump (oh, he is sooooo snotty!) responds, “And where are you?” Yowch. “I’m the youngest person in the suite, and I’m a millionaire,” Chris says. Gotta give him that one. Let’s not forget that this boy was born in freaking 1984. That’s the Orwellian future.
Now Trump is all confused and wants to go back to firing Angie. He jumps on her for not letting Erin do the presentation, except that Erin can’t tell a ratchet from a racquetball, so I don’t know that she would have done that well. Seriously, though, he just doesn’t let up on Angie: “I’m not a big believer in where we’re going tonight. You really should have let her be a presenter… So you picked the wrong clinic and you picked the wrong presenter. And then George and Carolyn are saying, ‘Oh, I think Angie is wonderful.’ And I’ve got to listen to them.”

Erin seizes the opportunity again with, “Do you have to?” and then follows it up with a big grin and another wink! That can’t be good.
Trump responds irritably, “No, but I’m going to.” Then pauses a beat. “You’re a real wise guy, you know that?” he asks her. Carolyn, who has been strangely quiet this session, delivers the final nail in the coffin: “That was a dumb statement.” George agrees. Now that he’s got backup, Trump goes for it: “You know what Erin, you’re fired.”
Hey, wow, a Home Depot commercial.
Inside the cab, Erin spouts out metaphors left and right, but at least, she doesn’t feel the need to explain their meanings to us. “My inability to use a power saw cut me off at the knees. Getting fired was a nail gun straight through the heart.” But, since she is actually a good witch at heart, I’m happy for her when she smiles and says, “So all is well in Erin-land right now.”
Those Final Four predictions I made a few weeks ago? Never happened.

You’re a real wise guy, you know that?
