turnaround ceo value based management perspective training dept exceeds cost

Official transcript

A voice is asking the new CEO, who looks like the devil, "...From a value-based management perspective it's clear..."

The voice is Tim who continues, "...That the training department's return exceeds the cost of capital... So please don't kill me."

As Tim, barely in the panel is clearly off his feet, being tossed around, the boss says to Dilbert, "Okay, you're next... and begging doesn't work."
