Wally: I feel so soiled, even more than usual. Oh my God have I been working?
Alice: (talking about Wally) Wow, from great engineer to doorstop in just a few short years.

Catbert: (to Asok) Cynicism is almost the same thing as experience.
Alice: (talking to Dilbert) You know the rules, he who complains is asigned to fix it.
Pointy-Haired Boss: (talking about Black Betty, the mainframe computer) But she's real. As real as the dwarf who sneaks into my bedroom at night and steals my underwear.
Dilbert: (to Dogbert) I don't care. I will not be pressured into having fun just because we arbitrarily use a base ten counting system and a big round number is coming up.
Pointy-Haired Boss: Money is no object, unless of course, you plan to spend it.

Ashok: Does it have to be a ravine? Can't it be any sort of chasm? Dogbert: Sure, a ravine or gulch or chasm. Wally: Orgasm.......Huh? Dogbert: Oops, I skipped a chapter.
The Y2K Bug was a popular subject for many shows airing in 1999, one of which was a similar Family Guy episode entitled DaBoom.
Pointy Haired Boss: Are you telling me that Han Solo's ship is HERE? The Pointy Haired Boss confuses the Millenium Bug with the Millenium Falcon from "Star Wars."
Y2K / The Millenium Bug: The crisis as the year 1999 closed that caused hoarding because it was thought that all computers would cease to work because of a flaw with the year. Instead of programming the date as 4 numerals it was programmed as 2 meaning that the year 2000 would become year 00.
This episode takes a great deal from the Wizard of Oz. Below is a chart of the characters and what they are asking for. Alice (Dorothy)--time management (go home) Asok (Scarecrow)--experience (brain) Wally (Tin Man)--memory (heart) Dilbert (Lion)--a team (courage) Dogbert (Toto)--nothing because he's perfect. The Director of Human Resources (The Wizard of Oz)
