Official transcript

Dilbert is walking behind a pair of women. He thinks to himself, "Uh-oh.. Slow- walking women."

Dilbert looks around them. He thinks, "I can't squeeze around."

Dilbert stomps up and down. He thinks, "I'll make footstep noise so they'll notice and move."

From behind the women, he says to himself, "It didn't work. They're oblivious slow-walking women!"

Dilbert continues thinking, "Time stands still as I wait to take my next step."

Alice walks up to Dilbert and says, "Oh no.. It's a pair of oblivious slow-walking women."

Alice continues, "I'll throw you over the top. Then you can open the side door so I can go around."

Dilbert's feet fly over the women's heads. One says, "Third one today."

The other says, "Weird."
