Simon: OK, guys, what do you call yourselves?
Brian: Er, The Beach Boys, sir.
Simon: And do you do this for a living?
Dennis: We'd like to, sir, but at the moment I'm spending a lot of time with my surf board.

Simon: OK, let's hear it!
Two minutes, later...
Simon: Look guys, I'm sure you are all lovely people but the fact is, you have no musical talent whatsoever.
Louis: Oh, come on! These are great lads who just need a break. A little of my Irish spit and polish could easily turn them into the next Westlife. It's a 'Yes' from me!

Brian: F***** English w******!!
