Official transcript

Dilbert enters the Boss' office and asks, "Is it okay if I take naps during the day?"

Dilbert then asks, "Or would you prefer that I make important decisions while groggy and delusional?"

Dilbert continues, "Either way is okay with me. It's your call."

The Boss doesn't respond and Dilbert leaves his office thinking, "He looks funny all purple."

Back at his desk and half asleep, Dilbert thinks to himself "Must...stay...awake. Make...important...decisions."

Dilbert continues, "Must replace optical switches with dancing lemurs."

The Boss stands behind Dilbert as he sleeps. Now in an obvious dream state, Dilbert yells in his sleep "Gaaa! French people are touching me with cigarettes!"

The Boss leaves Dilbert's cubicle thinking, "I hope that's how engineers design missile defense networks."
