Official transcript

THE MOTIVATION FAIRY: The Fairy is sitting on top of Wally's computer monitor. Wally says, "It seems like your job isn't very rewarding."

The Fairy, rubbing an eye, says, "Vision getting blurry."

Wally says, "Long hours. No raises. No cubicle."

The Fairy says, "Hair coming out in clumps."

Wally watches as the Fairy flies away. The Fairy, looking exactly like Wally, with glasses and an almost bald head, says, "He's good. He's very good."

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
