Official transcript

Dilbert braces himself against the desk as his arm disappears into the computer. He shouts, "Help! Dogbert, I'm being sucked into cyberspace!"

Dilbert's head and torso disappear into the computer and he screams. Dogbert grabs his pants. Dilbert is gone, but Dogbert holds his pants. He says, "Let's hope you don't need pants in cyberspace."

Dilbert floats through a strange world. He thinks, "Wow! It's like a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fantasy but without the artistic look to it."

Dilbert thinks, "It's beautiful! I'm interacting with the minds of brilliant people from around the globe."

A sign that says "Internet"

points to the right. Dilbert floats past an "E-mail"

sign. He thinks, "I can see how all their ideas and knowledge fit together! It's exhilarating!"

Dilbert floats toward the exit and thinks, "How can I ever describe this to somebody who hasn't been here?"

Dilbert tells a woman, ". . . And I didn't even need pants!"

The woman replies, "So, you're some kind of nerd, right?"
