Official transcript

Tina the tech writer points to an open magazine on the table and says, "This article says men are paid 25% more than women. How do you explain that?"

Dilbert and Wally stare. Wally picks up the magazine. The cover features a woman and the title "Estro."

Wally says, "Actually, it says women make 75} for every dollar that men make. That's 33% more for men."

Tina crosses her arms and frowns. Wally says, "I suppose there's almost no chance you'll praise me for my math skills right now."
