  • [CRASHING]

  • How did I end up with all this obsolete equipment?

  • It seems to multiply.

  • Eh, eh, eh!

  • Not in the recycling container!

  • Recycling container?

  • I thought it was my garbage can.

  • No, it's a recycling container.

  • No obsolete equipment.

  • No food. No toenail clippings.

  • No dead animals.

  • I'm probably forgetting a few things.

  • Well, fine.

  • How do I throw away my obsolete equipment?

  • There's a phone number you call.

  • They come and take it away.

  • What's the phone number?

  • I wouldn't know.

  • Who's "they"?

  • My area of expertise is limited

  • to what you can't put in the can,

  • plus the certain knowledge

  • that a phone number of some sort exists.

  • Your new computer just arrived.

  • Everything you owned this morning is junk.

  • Thank you, Asok.

  • And here's a modem for your troubles.

  • What can I do with a 2400 bps modem?

  • You can try to throw it away,

  • but you need to know a secret phone number.

  • I think it has a nine in it.

  • So you have seen the secret number?

  • No, but a lot of your unknown phone numbers

  • have nines in them.

  • I read that.

  • MAN: Ow!

  • What if I take some of this old stuff home

  • and throw it away from there?

  • That would be stealing from the company!

  • How can you steal garbage?

  • You could tuck it in your pants.

  • Obsolete equipment isn't officially garbage

  • until you call that phone number

  • and they take it off our books!

  • I hear everyone is dumping

  • their obsolete equipment in here.

  • Who told you that?

  • They didn't give me their names.

  • Why can't you be more like Wally?

  • He's a problem solver.

  • [EXPLOSION]

  • [music]

  • [CHANTING]

  • [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

  • If we can't figure out how to throw anything away,

  • we're doomed to suffocate here in our own waste.

  • I'm afraid of suffocating in waste!

  • Well, get over it.

  • Things are only going to get worse,

  • until we're so cramped, we can't possibly do any work.

  • You don't do any work now.

  • But I depend on other people to be working.

  • It's like a delicate ecosystem--

  • You can't have all rabbits or all foxes.

  • You need some of both.

  • And to think I immigrated here

  • for the wide-open spaces alluded to

  • in folk songs and travel brochures.

  • Never have I felt so betrayed.

  • Somewhere in the uncharted depths

  • of this almost criminally mismanaged company

  • there's got to be some extra space.

  • Just one unoccupied cubicle

  • where we can store our non-disposables,

  • and I'm going to find it.

  • It's Old Zeke.

  • Actually, that's Young Zeke

  • who takes really bad care of himself.

  • Excuse me.

  • Can I talk now?

  • Yes! Of course.

  • Excuse us. So sorry.

  • They tell a story in the men's room

  • of an unused cubicle.

  • Empty, glistening, pristine.

  • It shines under the fluorescent lights

  • like a beacon of hope

  • to those seeking extra storage space.

  • You are crazy,

  • young man who takes really bad care of himself.

  • That is crazy talk.

  • Crazy, am I, intern?

  • Well, grab your crap and follow me.

  • [SCREAMING]

  • Oh... Why did I do that?

  • I guess I am crazy after all.

  • Crazy and... unable to walk.

  • Good call.

  • According to the floor plan,

  • it looks like there could be an unused cubicle

  • just around the next bend.

  • Look!

  • Could it be?

  • Zeke was right.

  • The legends of the empty cubicle are true!

  • It's pristine.

  • This baby has never been used.

  • And it's all ours.

  • I claim this cubicle for engineering.

  • Hey, wait a minute.

  • We've gone in a circle.

  • How could you not know

  • there was an empty cubicle right next to you?

  • I never had a reason to go in that direction.

  • The important thing is that we found an empty cubicle!

  • Shush! Keep it down!

  • Be quiet.

  • If he is not silenced,

  • the secret of this precious cube will be revealed.

  • I must sacrifice myself.

  • [YELLING]

  • [GAGGING]

  • Hey, kids, what's all the noisilation about?

  • Dilbish, nice tie.

  • Howard, nice, uh, intern in your face.

  • Ooh, what's this, a vacant cubicle?

  • No. No! Uh-uh.

  • Marketing could sure use the space

  • for, uh, marketing stuff.

  • It's ours!

  • You know the rules.

  • Empty cubicles are up for grabs.

  • It's not empty.

  • It belongs to, uh... the new guy.

  • His name is, uh...

  • Todd.

  • And he's a new guy.

  • Which explains why he's not here yet.

  • Uh, being new and all.

  • I haven't heard about this Todd fellow.

  • He's an unbelievable guy.

  • Totally unreal.

  • No one has ever disliked him!

  • Oh, right, right.

  • Todd.

  • T-O-D-D.

  • Your enunciation leaves a lot to be desired.

  • I thought you said "Todd."

  • We did.

  • If you had said "Todd" in the first place,

  • we wouldn't be having this conversation.

  • I apologize for our oversight.

  • Todd. Old Todd.

  • Good old Toddy. Toddo.

  • Great guy. Love Todd.

  • You tell Todd I dropped by to say hey.

  • Oh, we will.

  • Oh, that was close.

  • My upper lip is moist with perspiration.

  • Well, nice work, everybody.

  • Where did you come up with the name Todd?

  • From my mind, where I come up

  • with everything I think and say.

  • [HEAVY SIGH]

  • Well, that's the last load of my obsolete equipment.

  • It looks just like someone works here.

  • I had a name plate made.

  • Very nice!

  • [WHISTLING]

  • Is Todd in there?

  • Todd! Todd!

  • Where the heck are you, you devil?

  • Everyone in marketing is talking about him.

  • I hear he's amazing.

  • I just had to meet him in person.

  • Todd is away...

  • on important business.

  • That figures.

  • While you two are lollygagging around,

  • Todd's having important meetings

  • with important people.

  • I don't know how he does it all.

  • Oh, my, Todd.

  • Look at all this.

  • The man must be some sort of engineering genius.

  • Why can't you two

  • have this much equipment in your cubicles?

  • It's not really the quantity of the equipment that matters.

  • Yes, yes, you're right.

  • Todd does seem to have

  • those other intangible qualities as well--

  • the kind that make women love him

  • and men wish they were women.

  • Although, I confess,

  • I've wished that long before Todd burst on the scene.

  • He's quite the miracle worker.

  • Yes, so I'm told.

  • So I'm told.

  • Straw into gold, take your firstborn,

  • that sort of thing.

  • Uh-oh, wait a second. Hold the wire.

  • That's Rumpelstiltskin, little dwarf bastard.

  • We have work to do.

  • Right! I'll see you two at the project meeting.

  • Do you think anything bad can happen from this?

  • I don't see how.

  • And on that, I think we're all in agreement.

  • On what?

  • Haven't you been paying attention?

  • Paying attention?

  • You just walked in here, sat down, and said.

  • "And on that, I think we're all in agreement."

  • You're saying you don't agree?

  • It's a difficult point to argue.

  • Well, you should all thank Todd

  • I don't fire you all on the spot.

  • As the new project head,

  • it'll be his responsibility to deal with you dunderheads.

  • What?

  • You're letting Todd head the project?

  • He's Todd.

  • You have a problem with that?

  • Yes.

  • Looks like I've put

  • the fear of Todd in you now, haven't I?

  • [CHUCKLING]

  • Great.

  • Now Todd is our project leader.

  • That means we have to do his WORK PLUS OUR OWN WORK.

  • Plus my work.

  • Plus Wally's work, as usual.

  • That's a lot of work.

  • But if we reveal Todd's nonexistence,

  • we lose our spare cubicle.

  • There's no way out.

  • What would Todd do in a situation like this?

  • There is no Todd!

  • We made him up.

  • I'm not so sure.

  • He has a cubicle and a job.

  • That's all I have and I exist.

  • You don't exist.

  • I'm probably a bad example.

  • ALICE: You'll just have to wait.

  • Todd gave us a six-hour lunch break today.

  • He's allowed-- he's project head.

  • It's in Todd's hands now.

  • [BOTH LAUGHING]

  • [ALL LAUGHING]

  • [POWER SHUTS DOWN]

  • Uh-oh.

  • This could only mean one thing.

  • Mr. Catbert, director of human resources,

  • what brings you out of your lair?

  • I understand you've been praising Todd.

  • You could say that.

  • His personnel folder is curiously empty--

  • no photo, no work history.

  • Hmm. Very, very suspicious.

  • Uh, Todd works in mysterious ways.

  • He won't work at all

  • if his file doesn't turn up soon.

  • You see, I don't believe in Todd.

  • You take that back.

  • There is no Todd.

  • Todd exists only in your minds.

  • [GRUNTS]

  • [GROANS]

  • Where's your Todd now?

  • Hmm?

  • [EVIL LAUGHTER]

  • [SNAPS FINGER]

  • We need to give Todd a history and throw Catbert off the scent.

  • I'm into the personnel database.

  • "Create new employee record."

  • We need a picture of him.

  • Why don't we make a composite?

  • Good idea.

  • I'll morph our pictures and make Todd in our image.

  • [SCREAMING] Oh, no!

  • [GASPING]

  • We have seen the face of Todd.

  • And he is us.

  • According to your records,

  • every one of your employees is rated "good."

  • To be honest, I can't tell them apart most days.

  • Hmm.

  • Doesn't that crush their motivation

  • and eliminate their will to live?

  • They do walk around with their shoulders drooped,

  • but I assumed they weren't drinking enough milk.

  • Well, that's all well and good,

  • but we can have more fun with them than that.

  • We can?

  • We can punish them arbitrarily.

  • We can do that?

  • We can if we make it look like a policy.

  • The new policy is that all work groups

  • must have a proper distribution of performance ratings.

  • At least 20% of YOUR employees

  • must be ranked in the lowest rating.

  • You mean... unsatisfactory?

  • Lower.

  • Incompetent?

  • Lower, lower.

  • You... mean...

  • Exactly.

  • If the beloved Todd is rated highest,

  • followed by Dilbert and Alice...

  • well, I think you see where I'm going.

  • Can you give me a hint?

  • Wally, I had to lower your performance rating

  • from a solid "good"

  • to our lowest rating, which is "retard."

  • Retard?

  • I know, it sounds harsh,

  • perhaps even "politically incorrect,"

  • But our new policy is to have a normal distribution

  • of performance reviews,

  • and with Todd taking the top spot,

  • well, it just wrecked the curve for the rest of you.

  • I guess I'll get used to it.

  • You will.

  • But you'll do it somewhere else.

  • It's company policy that I fire anyone

  • who is at the lowest rating.

  • The strange thing is that I suddenly feel motivated.

  • Run along.

  • ASOK: This is the greatest injustice

  • there could ever be.

  • Yes, sirree, Bob.

  • We'll keep in touch.

  • We will?

  • No.

  • I just say it to reduce the awkwardness.

  • Well, so long.

  • I'm a free man.

  • This isn't right.

  • If we hadn't created Todd,

  • Wally would still have his job

  • and we wouldn't have to be doing

  • Todd's work plus our own.

  • Todd must die.

  • ALICE: We will kill Todd so dead

  • that no one will ever know

  • he existed in the first place.

  • DILBERT: I'm not usually in favor of killing people,

  • but this does seem justified.

  • How do we kill someone who doesn't exist?

  • Indirectly--

  • We'll ruin his reputation.

  • Todd is about to become

  • the most incompetent project leader

  • in the history of the world.

  • DILBERT: Send an e-mail in Todd's name

  • to all employees.

  • Very good.

  • What's the worst product idea in the world?

  • How about that Face-lift In A Can product

  • we introduced about five years ago?

  • The one that shrunk your head

  • to the size of a grapefruit.

  • Perfect.

  • Todd is going to suggest

  • reintroducing Face-lift In A Can.

  • His reputation will surely be ruined.

  • BOSS: E-mail from Todd.

  • Face-lift In A Can?

  • That just might work.

  • Try it, dude.

  • If you don't, you're a loser.

  • Can't we just get something pierced

  • like an eyebrow or something?

  • What if it makes my head tiny for the rest of my life?

  • Shaa!

  • Piercing is so passe.

  • Shrunken heads is in.

  • Do me first.

  • Cool. Cool.

  • Okay, do me.

  • All right. Yeah.

  • Lookin' fine.

  • It's unbelievable.

  • Just unbelievable.

  • I'm dumbfounded.

  • And flummoxed.

  • And...

  • Thursday.

  • Well, I guess that's the end of Todd.

  • Yep, or it would be,

  • if it wasn't for the fact

  • that it's the biggest success the company's ever had.

  • What?

  • Would anyone like to join me in praising Todd?

  • Face-lift In A Can is our NEW flagship product.

  • We have a hundred-percent market share

  • in first-week sales of one billion dollars,

  • which, I have it on good authority,

  • is more than a million and less than a skillion.

  • Oh, no. That can't be right.

  • Apparently, head shrinking is the NEW "in" thing

  • kids enjoy doing to themselves to shock their parents.

  • Now, I want you to get cracking on a follow-up:

  • Amputation In A Jar.

  • Maybe this is a good time to tell you

  • we were responsible for Face-lift In A Can.

  • Todd had nothing to do with it.

  • How dare you?

  • This is Todd's work.

  • Why, if I was 30 pounds lighter

  • and 30 years younger

  • and 30% stronger

  • and, uh, uh... 30 times taller,

  • I'd pop you one!

  • Now, you all ought to get up

  • and march into Todd's cubicle and beg,

  • yes, beg...

  • grovel FOR TODD'S FORGIVENESS.

  • I'll be in my office

  • doing some very important high-level breathing.

  • [TELEPHONE RINGING]

  • Don't answer it.

  • But I can't stand a ringing phone!

  • Deal with it, Howard.

  • This is the only way.

  • If we don't answer his phone or his e-mail,

  • if we don't reschedule his appointments

  • and stop juggling his calendar,

  • if we don't do any of his errands or his work,

  • then Todd will return to the nothingness

  • from which he came.

  • It may mean losing the cubicle.

  • It's a small price to pay for our sanity.

  • Why are you all loitering in Todd's cube?

  • We were just... waiting for him to return.

  • Well, when he does, tell him to pack his stuff.

  • Why? Is he fired?

  • [CHORTLING]

  • No, no.

  • I should say not.

  • He's getting a corner office.

  • An office?

  • I've been at this lousy company for 10 years,

  • and I'm still in a cubicle,

  • and he gets a corner office?

  • That's it. It's over.

  • How can I put this delicately?

  • Todd is dead.

  • Before you go on, let me thank you

  • for putting that so delicately.

  • It was really quite thoughtful.

  • Todd never was.

  • He isn't! He never will be!

  • He never existed.

  • We CREATED TODD IN OUR OWN IMAGE.

  • We made him, and now we've destroyed him.

  • Are you done?

  • Yes.

  • Good. That's the confession

  • I was waiting to hear.

  • Take them away, boys!

  • These are them what killed Todd.

  • It's all a big mistake!

  • There is no Todd!

  • Oh, my next correspondence to Mama and Papa

  • will certainly be a tale of woe.

  • Tell us what happened

  • and we'll recommend a light sentence.

  • Nice try, but I happen to understand

  • a little thing called "the prisoner's dilemma."

  • Is that so?

  • You have no physical evidence of a crime,

  • so you can only convict us

  • if one of us rats out the others,

  • and since we're all aware of that fact,

  • no one will rat out anyone

  • and we'll be free in a matter of minutes.

  • It was all Dilbert.

  • I told him not to chop the body up,

  • but he insisted.

  • He said that's how he gets rid of all his victims.

  • Oh, hi, Dilbert.

  • Alice!

  • He has always been evil.

  • I felt it.

  • But I never knew how evil

  • until he would not stop plunging that fork

  • into Todd's body.

  • I stopped counting at 100.

  • Oh, God.

  • Hello, Dilbert.

  • Asok!

  • May I have that ice cream sandwich

  • you promised me now?

  • Look, we've got enough on you right now

  • to put you away for the rest of your life,

  • plus 30 years.

  • Plus 30 YEARS?

  • That doesn't make any sense.

  • Why not give me life plus a thousand years?

  • Keep pushing.

  • This can't be happening.

  • All I wanted was some extra cubicle space.

  • That's all I wanted.

  • [TELEPHONE RINGING]

  • Hello?

  • MAN: Yes, this is Todd.

  • Todd? How do we know it's Todd.

  • How do we know this is not an act?

  • An act of Todd?

  • Is Todd's word not good enough for you?

  • Sorry.

  • Now, listen carefully.

  • I'm working on a top-secret project for the government.

  • All I can say is it, uh, has something to do

  • with the government, and... it's a secret.

  • But you're alive-- alive and well?

  • Do I sound dead to you?

  • Unenthusiastic, maybe. Flat, affectless, but not dead.

  • Precisely.

  • Now, I've got to go.

  • I've got to go do something with this, uh...

  • secret government thing.

  • I understand. Good luck.

  • Yeah, whatever.

  • You lucked out, Judas.

  • Dilbert.

  • You're free to go.

  • And you can thank Todd.

  • Oh, I will.

  • I will.

  • How'd I do?

  • Not well, but it doesn't matter.

  • People want to believe Todd exists.

  • So anything you say in the name of Todd

  • people will tend to buy.

  • You see, you CAN play Todd,

  • but you still can't play Dogbert.

  • Amen.

  • Well, back to work.

  • Maybe I'll try a limp.

  • You realize Todd's now a billionaire.

  • And a Nobel prize winner.

  • Don't forget the special law they passed

  • that allows him to be a bigamist.

  • Now, that was a coup.

  • I understand, after he saves the rain forest

  • and all the endangered species

  • and feeds the starving,

  • he's coming back to town and opening

  • an actually fair-priced electronics store.

  • Get out of here.

  • That's Todd's word, not mine.

  • [GASPING]

  • I just saw Todd!

  • You're just drunk.

  • [LAUGHING]

  • That's just what Todd would say.

  • [BURPS]
