Official transcript

Dilbert and Dogbert walk through the park. Dilbert is wearing a jogging suit and holds a Frisbee. He says, "I hate it when the title of a book gives away the whole plot."

Dilbert throws the Frisbee. He says, "Take Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea."

Geez, talk about leaving nothing to the imagination."

The Frisbee lies on the ground. Dilbert says, "I guess the odds were very low that you would leap in the air and catch that."

Dogbert replies, "I'm only here to be a chick magnet."
