Official transcript

Ted approaches Dilbert, "Can you sing or dance?"

Dilbert turns to face Ted, "Ted? I thought you resigned in disgust two weeks ago."

Ted replies, "Well...I wrote a huge resignation manifesto that I planned to e-mail to the entire company."

With hands raised Ted says, "But I thought it needed pictures."

With arms now raised to the side Ted says, "Before long I was adding video clips and humorous sound files."

Exasperated Ted states, "Then I thought, hey, why not put it all on a website?"

More calmed and reserved, Ted says "Now I'm turning the whole thing into an off Broadway theatre production."

Arriving home after work, Dilbert says to Dogbert, "I saw my first motivated employee today."
