- Kevin O'Leary: I'm not trying to make friends. You want a friend, buy a dog. I'm trying to make money.
- Kevin O'Leary: Here's how I think of my money: soldiers. I send them out to war every day. I want them to take prisoners and come home so there's more of them. In your army, every soldier dies that you send out every day. When you have no soldiers, you're wiped out.
- Robert Herjavec: A good entrepreneur never takes 'no' for an answer, but a smart businessman knows when to move on.
- Mr. Wonderful: I wish every investment I made made money, but they don't. Some fail. You should think about your ideas the same way. This is a dog from Hell. This is a very bad idea. It howls at the moon and you should take it out behind the barn and shoot it.
- Entrepreneur: When I quit the rat race, I lived in New York City. I burnt myself out and said, "That's it, I'm going to wear a tie dye for the rest of my life." It was just a sign of freedom for me.
- Kevin O'Leary: I don't care if you wear goatskin. I wanna know if you're making any money.
- Mark Cuban: It doesn't matter how many times you fail. All it takes is one and everybody can call you an overnight success, so don't quit because we've all been laughed at. I know I've been laughed at, and my biggest hits have been the ones people thought were most likely to fail.
- Kevin O'Leary: I'm a member of a group called the Chevaliers du Tastevin. It's a secret society of Burgundy drinkers.
- [Mark chuckles]
- Kevin O'Leary: Every 90 days, somewhere in the world we gather and we drink wines as old as 1902. But you can't do it unless you're wearing your tastevin which is a tasting cup made of pure silver.
- [Daymond laughs]
- Kevin O'Leary: If the cup is dirty, you're rejected from the meeting. No matter where it's held. Could be Paris, could be Rome - you can't get in.
- Daymond John: I can't believe I'm hearing this.
- Kevin O'Leary: I keep telling my wife, "You gotta polish my tastevin!" She says, "Polish your own tastevin!"
- Kevin O'Leary: I know money has no soul, all right? I never, ever, ever let emotion get in the way of an investment.
- Mr. Wonderful: There is no tomorrow. You're dead to me if you say 'no' to my deal. You're dead. You're gone. I don't even know who you are. You're a vapor.
- Mr. Wonderful: Have you ever heard of a viking funeral? They load up a boat with wood, they put the dead bodies on the top, they set it on fire and they push it out on the ocean. That's you guys. This is a horrible idea. I'm out with *extreme* prejudice. I wanna set you on fire and float you out of the tank.
- Robert Herjavec: Don't ever be enamored by what something sells for. It's more important what you get to keep in your pocket.
- Kevin O'Leary: Have you invested any money in this yet?
- 'BrellaBox Entrepreneur: Yes.
- Kevin O'Leary: Can we have a moment of silence for that dead money?
- Mark Cuban: [repeated line to the entrepreneur] the most valuable asset I need to get a return on is my time
- Self - Shark: [repeated line to Daymond, referring to his short stature, when he talks over her, argues with her or the other sharks] pipe down little man
- Kevin O'Leary: [repeated line to the entrepreneur, referring to their product or service] this not a business, this is a hobby
- Kevin O'Leary: [repeated line to the other sharks, because he considered the business is a bad investment] I forbid you to do this deal.
- Kevin O'Leary: [repeated line to the entrepreneur, referring to the equity stake being offered by the entrepreneur] I don't get out of bed in the morning for five percent
- Kevin O'Leary: [repeated line when pitched outdoor camping products] I don't sleep anywhere without a mint on my pillow
- Robert Herjavec: [repeated line to contestants, jokingly, when if he and the sharks would like to try a sample of their food product] Yes, more eating, less talking!
- Kevin O'Leary: [repeated slang, negotiating higher equity with the entrepreneur after the entrepreneur offered a low percentage] I gotta wet my beak
- Kevin O'Leary: [repeated line, when offering to buy the patent for the product or the entire company from the entrepreneur] I hand you a check and you don't have my number
- Kevin O'Leary: [repeated line, sarcastically, referring to the net sales don't reflect the amount of time it's been available to buy] wow, so you've made hundreds of dollars
- Self - Shark: [repeated line, liking the product, to the entrepreneur] I can tell instantly, if it's a "hero" or a "zero" and I think what you've got here is a "hero"
- Kevin O'Leary: [jokingly, repeated line when the entrepreneur looks nervous before presenting their product] don't worry, it's only the most important moment in your life.
- Kevin O'Leary: [repeated line, disliking the low equity offered by the entrepreneur] five percent is a nothing burger.
- Daymond John: [repeated line to the entrepreneur, referring to their product] first you have to make it, then you have to master it, then you can matter.
