Official transcript

Dilbert sits opposite The Boss' desk and hears The Boss say, "You have failed to meet a goal set by our CEO."

Dilbert says to The Boss, "Do you mean the impossible goal, the ill-advised one, or the one you didn't tell me about?"

Carrying his briefcase, Dilbert says to Dogbert, "I figured out what's wrong with life: It's other people."
