Official transcript

Dilbert sits at the desk and Dogbert sits next to him. Dilbert says, "There . . . I think I've invented a way to send vast amounts of data without fiber optic cables."

Dilbert continues, "It's a simple application of J. S. Bell's theorem. He showed that if you break up a molecule and change the spin of one electron, the spin of the other electrons originally joined will immediately change too, no matter where they are."

Dilbert asks, "What do you think the fiber optic industry will give me for this."

Dogbert replies, "A horse's head in your bed."
