Official transcript

Carol with a child in each hand comes up to Dilbert, who is at his computer and says, "I brought my kids to work because day care is closed."

Dilbert turns around and Carol introduces the kids. "Tess is a yeller and Smokey is a biter."

Later on... Dilbert, with Smokey hanging from his teeth on his arm and Tess on his leg screaming, is now standing behind Carol, who is sitting at her desk. Dilbert says, "Why is day care closed?"

Carol replies, "The townspeople torched it."

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
