Summary:

This comic strip, originally published in 2008, features Dilbert and his date, who is a woman with black hair and a pink shirt. The conversation begins with Dilbert asking if she can go on a date now that he has fixed her satellite dish connection and tuned her surround sound system. She responds that it was their date ten minutes ago, and she was dating a man who would replace the water filter in her refrigerator. Dilbert is surprised and asks what she did to him, to which she replies that she welcomed him to stay and fight for it.
