Official transcript

Dilbert tells the Boss, "I'm totally frazzled. There simply isn't enough time in the day to meet my upcoming deadlines."

Dilbert's hair and clothes are disheveled. The Boss says, "Let's have an all-day meeting off-site so I can explain why the deadlines are so important."

Dilbert says, "So, your theory is that I'll have more time in the day if you explain something I already know?"

The Boss replies, "I don't have a lot of tools here."
