Official transcript

Dilbert and Dogbert stand in a parking lot. A man approaches their car and says, "Hey! Dilbert! Is that your nerdmobile?"

The man laughs. Dilbert thinks, "It's my old high school nemesis, Chuck."

Chuck says, "Maybe you'd like to race me in my Corvette."

He laughs. Dilbert points to his car and says, "Actually, Chuck, if you had taken a science class you'd know this a 'Seebeck effect' power plant capable of 600 miles per hour."

Dilbert continues, "Any idiot knows you can get massive power simply by using the sun to heat the junction of two dissimilar wires joined at both ends."

Dilbert continues, "Apparently I'm faster AND smarter than you. And these tax forms show that I also earn more than you."

Dogbert holds up the forms. Chuck says, "Here's a picture of my new girlfriend. She teaches aerobics."

Dilbert says, "He's winning. Help me out here, Dogbert."

Dogbert waves his paw and says, "Step aside."

Dogbert tells Chuck, "I notice that your girlfriend has unusually large hands and a very pronounced Adam's apple."

Chuck asks, "So?"
