Notes

add »
Mathew is obsessed by Dilbert and quits WNYX, and Dave brings in an actor pretending to be Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) to convince him to come back to work. While the actor playing the guy pretending to be Scott Adams is not Scott Adams, Scott Adams himself appears in in the episode ! He is credited at the end of the show as "Guy in line behind Dave and Jow in first scene". (edit)

Quotes

add »
Jimmy: Bill seems happy with 'adequate.'
Catherine: Bill thinks having a bird crap on him is a compliment from the gods! (edit)
Catherine: They spelled my name wrong. It's Catherine with a C, not Katherine with a K. Catherine with a C is regal. Katherine with a K is the name of a two-bit biker chick from New Jersey.
Dave: Yeah, like that cheap slut Katherine Hepburn. (edit)
Bill: You think I don't know adequate sucks? Of course I know. Being called adequate is like getting C minuses in grade school, and I'm not used to getting C minuses.
Dave: I know what it's like to get C minuses when you're used to being an A student.
Bill: No I got straight C minuses, but I never got used to it. (edit)
Bill: May I make a suggestion? Let him sling coffee for a few more hours. He'll get bored, he'll realize how much he misses all of us. He'll come back on his own. When he does come crawling back, that's when you kick him away. Those of us who are adequate don't need his type around. (edit)
Dave: Let me see if I can make this clear to you. There will be no Dilbert story, alright? So why don't you just put back the rainbows and unicorns that usually cover your desk and get back to work. (edit)
