Official transcript

The Boss, Wally, Dilbert, Alice and another worker sit at a conference table. The Boss holds a document and says, "You should all follow Wally's example of how he quantifies his contribution to revenue."

Wally explains, "Basically, I assumed my project would fail without me. Therefore all the revenue it generates can be attributed to me."

The other worker asks, "Aren't we all on the same project?"

Wally answers, "Yes, but evidently we're not all equally valuable."
