Transcript
Dilbert stands next to Wally's desk and says, "Wally, you never really answered the question I left on your voicemail."

I'm withholding information to make myself appear more valuable." Wally continues, "Now I only return phone calls late at night and leave incomplete answers." Wally continues, "In person, I act overworked and irrational so people stop asking questions."
