Official transcript

Dilbert stands next to a table covered with a tablecloth. A computer monitor sits on the table. Dilbert says, "We had to cut some corners to get the demo ready this soon."

Wally's head pops up into the monitor. Dilbert explains, "Wally is under the table. He'll pretend to be the 3-D interface that we could build if we weren't doing useless demos."

The Boss says, "He's a little fuzzy. Can you adjust it?"

Dilbert hands him an electric shaver and says, "Try the electric shaver."
