Official transcript

Dilbert and Dogbert walk in the park. Dilbert says, "The great thing about being human is that I'm superior to all other animals."

Dogbert asks, "On what do you base that absurd conclusion?"

Dilbert replies, "Humans have the ability to kill any other animal. Therefore, we are superior."

Dogbert says, "You could be slaughtered by chipmunks if they ever decide to gang up."

Dilbert responds, "But they wouldn't decide to do that. That's why humans are superior."

Dilbert continues, "Chipmunks waste their days by eating nuts and playing instead of plotting ways to kill other species."

They sit down under a tree. Dogbert says, "It's futile to argue with you."

Dilbert replies, "Thank you."

A chipmunk in the tree says, "I say we kill him. Is anybody with me?"
