Official transcript

Wally says, "And obviously I can't do anything until our floom vendor updates the glimrods."

Man says, "I'll bitspew a protopatch to your glimrod array and you can get right to work."

Sometimes a young engineer challenges the dominant work-avoider in the herd. Wally says, "Oh, really?"

Wally says, "Too bad the router isn't configured to handle protopatch server traffic."

Man says, "I'll remotely reconfigure the router to think the protopatch server is a hexadulian data compressor."

Wally says, "If you do that, you'll crash the firewall and expose everyone at this table to identity theft!"

Tina says, "Stop that! I have enough problems!"

Punch! Wally says, "Never go network on me, kid."
