Official transcript

A strange-looking man with a tie that sticks-up in the air introduces himself to Dilbert who is sitting facing his computer. The man says: "My name is Paul Tergeist."

Dilbert is attentively looking at his computer which displays an error message. Paul Tergeist continues: "I have a way with technology."

Dilbert's computer crashes. The Boss appears and asks Dilbert: "Have you met your new lab partner?"

Dilbert does not answer him, however, as he is staring with perplexity at his pen, which is suspended in mid-air before his eyes. Dilbert exclaims: "My pen is hovering!"
