Official transcript

Dilbert and Dogbert sit in an airplane. Dogbert says, "I'm starving. Is there a meal on this flight?"

Dilbert replies, "It's probably just a snack. The airline is cutting back on frills."

Dogbert asks, "When you say 'snack,' do you mean a small but well-balanced culinary experience?"

Dilbert answers, "It's peanuts. We get nine peanuts apiece."

Dilbert adds, "And a soda . . . But not a whole can, just a little cup . . . Unless they cut back on that too."

The flight attendant tells Dilbert, "Now we just drink a soda ourselves and burp your seat number."

The flight attendant drinks a can of soda. The flight attendant burps, "7B."

Dilbert says, "It's actually kind of refreshing."
