Official transcript

Dilbert is sitting on the couch, eating, watching TV. Dogbert says to him, "I'm trying a little experiment tonight."

Dobert continues, "I'll attribute a stupid opinion to you..."

"Then I"ll aggressively mock you while you sit there saying nothing."

Dogbert says, "So, according to you, the internet is a passing fad."

Dogbert screams, "You moron! Look around you! The internet is everywhere!"

Then, "And there's nothing you can do about it! Nothing!"
