Quotes 

• Kevin O'Leary : Daymond, you've got retail. You wanna come in with me on this?

  Lori Greiner : I've been in the shopping world, the shopping channel world, for 15 years. You talk like it's nothing. Most people fail that go on.

  Kevin O'Leary : Not me, I don't fail.

  Lori Greiner : [Daymond tries to get a word in]  But yeah, you will fail because you know nothing about nail polish, I've been on for 15 years...

  [talking over each other] 

  Kevin O'Leary : I'm not gonna sell it. I'm not gonna sell it, Barbara's gonna sell it.

  Lori Greiner : You can't just call up a buyer and say, "Hey"...

  Daymond John : I will just take the 10,000 units, put them in duty free, and then license the rest to Avon and we won't *need* a shopping channel, so...

  Lori Greiner : And they talk like it's so easy, and you know it's not.

  Daymond John : [distinctly]  I've been in retail for 25 years, and branding, and I have forgotten more than she's learned. I'm not worried about that.

  Lori Greiner : Oh, come on...

  Daymond John : I couldn't care less about that...

  [they continue bickering for a while] 

  Daymond John : You know what, listen, listen: A piggy bank with 2 nickels in it makes way more noise than a full piggy bank, and I have *a lot*.

  [everyone laughs] 

  Mark Cuban : That was a great one!

  Robert Herjavec : That was nasty.

• Mark Cuban : Guys, since ya'll are from the Burgh, right. I love seeing Pittsburgh people be entrepreneurs and attack a business... um... We can go get some IC Light...

  Lindsay Johnson - Entrepreneur : You know, just a minute, Mark. You can target specific groups. We can go into a sorority and have sorority letters on them, we have awareness ribbons, we can...

  Mark Cuban : I like the hustle, I like the energy, I like the vision even. But it's just not an area that I have a lot of expertise. I couldn't tell you one tank-top top from another, and as much as I want to see you guys become successful, I just can't help you, so I have to be out.

  Nicole Bilsky - Entrepreneur : Thank you, though. We can take you up on those ICs later.
