Official transcript

Dilbert stands with a chef's hat and a cookbook. He thinks, "Making soup is easy for a highly trained engineer."

Dilbert looks in the cabinet and thinks, "I don't seem to have any 'coarse sea salt.'"

Dilbert shakes his salt shaker and thinks, "I'll just mix regular salt with water."

Dilbert continues reading and thinks, "Corn starch...that's basically flour."

He leans into the refriderator and thinks, "Marjoram...I think that's French for butter."

Dilbert continues reading, "'Five inches of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese rind.' Uh-oh."

Dilbert looks at eggs and says, "Eggs are basically cheese that comes from chickens."

Dogbert looks at his slice of steaming hot soup and says, "Is this supposed to be served hot?"

Dilbert replies, "You're thinking of gazpacho."
