Official transcript

The Boss points to the screen and tells Tina the Tech Writer while she is behind her computer: "Tina, move that title..."

He continues: "...over here."

Tina screams: "Aaaagh!!"

She exclaims: "Your finger oil is on my screen!!!"

She says: "Now I have to spend ten minutes cleaning it..."

She continues: "...because you don't understand how to hover your finger."

She demonstrates for the Boss: "See?! This isn't hard. You hover the finger! Don't touch!"

The Boss thinks as he is walking away: "I hope I'm not losing my aura of infallibility."
