Official transcript

Dilbert is working at his computer and Dogbert stands next to him wearing a policeman's hat, belt and holster. He says, 'I appointed myself Deputy of Common Sense."

Dogbert waves a revolver pistol and says, "I will apply swift justice to those who exhibit a lack of common sense."

Dilbert asks, "So, swift justice for people who aren't too swift."

Dogbert says, "And I'm using a chocolate gun for irony."
