• The monkey is speaking to Dilbert, saying, "EVOLUTION FAVORS MONKEYS. EVENTUALLY, HUMANS WILL BE KEPT IN CAGES AS PETS."
• Dilbert responds with a surprised expression, "BAH!"

Panel 2:

• The monkey continues, "IMPOSSIBLE. WE HUMANS WILL NEVER ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT!"
• Dilbert looks concerned, with a thought bubble above his head showing a cage with a human inside.

Panel 3:

• The monkey exclaims, "NOW GET OUT OF MY CUBICLE!"
• Dilbert is shown standing outside the cubicle, looking at the monkey through the bars of the cage.
• The monkey is sitting inside the cubicle, looking smug.

Overall:

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of humans evolving to treat animals as pets, and the potential consequences of such a scenario. It also highlights the humorous dynamic between Dilbert and his pet monkey, who is clearly in charge.
