Here is the text from the comic, transcribed as accurately as possible:

Panel 1: Person 1: "We just need you to pee in this cup and the job's yours."
Person 2: "For a drug test. Gotcha."

Panel 2: Person 1: "No. There is no test."
Person 2: "Then what's it for?"

Panel 3: Person 1: "The sense of power I get from knowing that I can control your most basic biological function."

Panel 4: Person 2: "But… listen, you were willing to pee in a cup when it was for a drug test. From your perspective, the physical act will be the same."

Panel 5: Person 1: "It's not the same! Now I'm gonna be thinking about why I'm peeing in…"

Panel 6: Person 1: "The mind is the body. Words have meaning! When you change the significance of the act, you change what the act demands!"

Panel 7: Person 1: "I'm a human being! I…"
Person 2: "I will raise your pay 25 cents per hour."

Panel 8: Person 2: "Gimme the cup."
