Official transcript

Dilbert, Wally and Alice sit at a conference table. The Boss points to a diagram created with an overhead projector and says, "This 3-D colored pie chart shows an unexplained rise in expenses."

The Boss continues, "You each get a binder of colored pie charts so you can help find the cause of our rising expenses."

Wally asks Dilbert and Alice, "How much do color copies cost?"

Dilbert looks at the binder and says, "I think I see it!"

Alice says, "It's not the 'magic eye,' Doofus."
