Official transcript

Dilbert, cursed by both Dogbert and the World's Smartest Garbage Man, sits watching television. He has Dogbert's eyes and nose and is dressed in garbage man coveralls. The tv says, "Are you the victim of a curse?"

Dilbert says, "Yes, I am."

The tv says, "Next on 20/20, John Stossel shows you the cure."

Dilbert's ears shoot straight up and his garbage man hat flies off. Dilbert pokes his head in the doorway and says, "Ha! After the commercial I will get valuable information for people like me!"

Dogbert wags his tail and says, "Well, well. It seems my old nemesis, John Stossel, was been busy."
