Official transcript

Wally sits at his desk and Dilbert stands behind him. The Boss enters and says, "I made a few changes to the design."

Dilbert reads a document and looks shocked. He says, "We'll have to work around the clock for months to make these changes!!"

The Boss says, "Work smarter, not harder."

Wally looks at the changes and says, "You're trying to violate the laws of physics!"

The Boss replies, "Rules were made to be broken."

Dilbert says, "This design would create enough radiation to instantly kill the user!!"

The Boss walks away and says, "Be sure to mention that in the documentation."

Dilbert says to Wally, "Let's work smarter not harder."

Wally replies, "I think we found the only 'beta' tester we'll need."
