Official transcript

Dilbert and Alice are seated together at a table when the Boss walks up and hands Dilbert a piece of paper. He says to Dilbert, "I finished the project plan without your input."

As Dilbert reads the paper, the Boss goes on to say, "You would have lied to me anyway, so I just skipped that step."

The Boss sits at the table with Dilbert and Alice and says, "I've already assigned blame for failure, but don't worry, it's just preliminary."
