Official transcript

Dilbert and Liz sit on a park bench. Liz says, "Um . . . When I've shared my feelings with you, I wasn't hoping you'd design an action plan to solve all of my problems."

Dilbert asks, "Why else would you tell me all of your problems . . . Unless it's some demented plot to make yourself feel better at my expense?"

Back at home, Dilbert tells Dogbert, "You were right. It was all a demented plot."

Dogbert says, "I'm trying to gradually lift your veil of ignorance."
