Export scripts in a document

Post by Exedeb »

Good day everyone.
I'm ending my case, so i've asked to some testers to test it.
In particular, there is a tester who is specialized in grammar and she asked me if she could read all the scripts without playing the game.
I would add her as collaborator, so she could see all the scripts using the editor, but she's scared that she may press some buttons and mess up the case.
So, before to give my information about the case, i wanted to ask if it's possible to export the scripts in a document.
Thank you.

Right now, this isn't possible, though such a feature wouldn't be difficult to make if there was demand for it.

Ok, got it.
So how can i show her all the scripts without playing? Making her as collaborator? Is it the only possibiity at the moment?
(Ayways this thing of exporting scripts in a document could be a food feature in AAO7, as you said.

I believe so. You could try making her a playtester, but I don't think that will work.

No indeed it doesn't work.
Ok then, thank you anyways...i don't want to copy and paste manually all the 4000 scripts, but i need to correct all the grammar errors.

That won't be necessary. I can automate the process and PM you the results within 24 hours.

Not if the trial is unreleased, though. Until it's released, only collabers and trial owners can view it, which is the issue.

Save a manual back-up of your case in the Manager, then add her as collab. If she accidentally saves edits, you can just revert to a backup from the Manager.

OK. I made a tool that should make your lives easier for exporting a script.

Firstly, use this tool that Ferdie made to extract your trial's data.

Once you get that saved, use this to get the script. It should be pretty self explanatory, but... Just in case here are the instructions.

1. Either paste the data that was dumped into the text box (Yes, I know the text box is super tiny. But... It's not like it matters, anyways.) or click "Choose File" and select the file you just created.
2. Click extract or extract with frames. The difference between the two is that extract with frames tells you the frame number, and extract doesn't. Again, pretty self explanatory.
3. A popup should appear (on Firefox) or a file should start downloading right away (on Chrome) called script.txt.
4. Voila! A version of your script. All nice and happy.

If I have time, I'll try and make a version that just plunks the data from the trial right away... But effort, for now. xP

EDIT:

To give an example, here is the script for the first part of Turnabout Proxy.
Spoiler : :
1 - Welcome to Turnabout Proxy. Enjoy the game.
2 - Be warned that some multiple choice questions are traps. Use the save button wisely!
3 - People are never really aware of the effects of what they do.
4 - Does the hunter who kills a deer know how many deer will now never be born?
5 - Does the executive know how much will be lost after the company downsizes?
6 - Does the lawyer know… Of course not.[] The lawyer never knows.
7 - It is time now. Time to expose the truth. No matter what it takes.
8 - After all, what could be more important than righting those wrongs of nearly eight years ago?
11 - Bank Teller: T-take the money! Just put the gun down!
13 - June 13, 9:46 AM District Courthouse Defendant Lobby No. 3
14 - ???: (Why did I ever agree to do this again? Right, the same reason as last time.)
15 - ???: Glad you could make it.
16 - ???: You haven’t even shaved? I assume that you aren’t taking this seriously, as usual.
17 - ???: I’m not the attorney anymore, Edgeworth.
18 - Edgeworth: *sigh* I knew that your recklessness would catch up to you, but not like that.
21 - Edgeworth: (Six years ago, Phoenix Wright, a friend of mine and the man before me, was a lawyer.)
22 - Edgeworth: (Then, in one of his trials, it was proven that evidence he had used was forged.)
23 - Edgeworth: (He claimed that he had no idea, but almost nobody believed him. Wright was disbarred.)
24 - Edgeworth: (He trusted only one defense attorney: Kristoph Gavin, the man who stuck by him.)
26 - Phoenix: We can discuss that later.
27 - Edgeworth: So you always seem to say, but we never actually do.
28 - Phoenix: I don't think that matters right now.
29 - Phoenix: I can handle things, but I'll do it my way. I'm not getting you involved with the Forgin' Attorney.
30 - Phoenix: Shouldn’t you be focusing on the case, Edgeworth?
31 - Edgeworth: I would if you gave me something to focus on. You just told me about this a day ago.
32 - Edgeworth: I know absolutely nothing, Wright.
33 - Phoenix: Well, do what you can.
34 - Edgeworth: Of course. Where is the defendant?
35 - Phoenix: … Dunno.
36 - Edgeworth: “Dunno”?! She’s YOUR daughter!
37 - Bailiff: The defendant has just arrived from the police transport.
38 - Edgeworth: (Wright didn’t accompany her?)
39 - Phoenix: I know what you’re thinking, but I had some work to do.
40 - Trucy: Daddy!
41 - Phoenix: Ha ha!
42 - Phoenix: It's good to see you too, Trucy.
44 - Edgeworth: (After the case where Wright was disbarred, he became a piano player and...)
46 - Edgeworth: (...received custody of Trucy, the daughter of the defendant in the case.)
47 - Edgeworth: (She is a magician and now a defendant, accused of 
48 - bank robbery
49 - .)
51 - Trucy: Is this Mr. Edgeworth?
52 - Phoenix: Yeah, he's your attorney for today.
53 - Trucy: Very nice to meet you. I’ve always wanted to meet a professional prosecutor.
54 - Edgeworth: As opposed to your prosecutor, who is an amateur in every sense of the word.
55 - Edgeworth: I can hardly believe that you are even being accused, honestly.
56 - Edgeworth: Fourteen years is rather young for bank robbery, to say the least.
57 - Phoenix: But not impossible. Have you forgot your first trial, Edgeworth?
58 - Phoenix: Dahlia Hawthorne was just as old when she faked her death and stole a two million dollar gem.
59 - Phoenix: Dahlia was in her class of her own, but the prosecution would never buy that argument.
60 - Edgeworth: Especially this "prosecutor."
61 - Phoenix: I thought Franziska von Karma was prosecuting.
64 - Edgeworth: (Franziska von Karma… A wild mare of a prosecutor who is obsessed with...)
65 - Edgeworth: (...proving herself better than me and striking down fools with her whip.)
66 - Edgeworth: (I posed as a defense attorney once before, and she was the prosecutor.)
67 - Edgeworth: (My job that day was why Phoenix wants me to defend his daughter.)
68 - Edgeworth: (The only defense attorney he trusts is busy, so he has to go to somebody who is not an attorney.)
70 - Trucy: Von Karma’s the whip lady, right?
71 - Edgeworth: I asked the “whip lady”, but she didn’t like the idea. I recall her exact words.
74 - von Karma: That foolishly foolish fool of a detective doesn't know the basics of an investigation! 
75 - von Karma: I cannot accept a case that is less than my perfection!
77 - Phoenix: Typical von Karma.
78 - Phoenix: So, who is prosecuting?
79 - Edgeworth: A custodian at the Prosecutor’s Office. His name is Payne.
80 - Phoenix: Ha ha ha...
81 - Edgeworth: ?
82 - Phoenix: Don’t you have some questions for your client?
83 - Edgeworth: Ah, yes...
85 - Edgeworth: Where were you on the night of the crime?
86 - Trucy: I was home alone the whole night.
87 - Trucy: Daddy was on a secret mission.
88 - Phoenix: Suffice it to say, Edgeworth, that although I may be disbarred...
89 - Phoenix: ...I still hold a lot of sway in the legal system.
90 - Phoenix: That is why I can still be your co-counsel.
91 - Edgeworth: (I guess an alibi and explanation are out of the question.)
93 - Edgeworth: Why were you arrested?
94 - Trucy: Well-
96 - Bailiff: The trial is about to begin. Please enter the courtroom now.
97 - Edgeworth: (So much for that...)
98 - June 13, 10:00 AM District Courthouse Courtroom No. 3
101 - Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Trucy Wright. Are the defense and prosecution ready?
102 - Payne: The prosecution is ready, Your Honor.
103 - Edgeworth: The defense is ready, Your Honor.
104 - Edgeworth: (Barring the fact that I never finished my talk with the defendant.)
105 - Judge: Very good.
106 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, is that you?
107 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor.
108 - Judge: It is good to see you again.
109 - Judge: You looked like a promising defense attorney when I presided over one of your cases. 
110 - Judge: I was very disappointed not to have heard anything aboot you afterwards.
111 - Judge: I am glad to see you are still an attorney.
112 - Edgeworth: Thank you, Your Honor.
113 - Edgeworth: (I remember this judge. He presided over the other case where I posed as a defense attorney.)
114 - Edgeworth: (He is the only judge I could find who did not know I am a prosecutor.)
115 - Payne: What about me?!
116 - Judge: Calm down, Mr. Payne. I’m not sure how I feel about prosecutors with such low self-esteem.
117 - Payne: It's not my fault if you forget about me.
118 - Edgeworth: (This judge does have a regrettable uncertainty.)
119 - Judge: The prosecution may give its opening statement.
120 - Payne: On June the 12th, the defendant went to the Bank of the People dressed in black, with a ski mask.
121 - Payne: She pulled out a 
122 - gun 
123 - and demanded a sum of $200,000 or else...
124 - Payne: Bam! She would fire. After getting the money, she ran off.
125 - Edgeworth: (From that description, this doesn’t look like a case with much in the way of evidence.)
126 - Judge: Did the bank have any security staff?
127 - Payne: Yes. The guard will testify later.
128 - Judge: Hmm…
129 - Judge: The court would like to hear more about what happened.
130 - Judge: Does the prosecution have a witness prepared to testify on the matter?
131 - Payne: Yes, Your Honor.
132 - Judge: Good. The court would like to hear from this witness.
133 - Payne: The prosecution calls Detective Gumshoe to the stand.
135 - Payne: The witness will state his name and profession.
136 - Gumshoe: Dick Gumshoe. I work homicide at the precinct.
137 - Judge: A homicide detective testifying about a robbery?!
138 - Judge: I’m not sure how I feel about that...
140 - Gumshoe: After my last case, the chief decided that I needed to take a break from homicide for a bit.
141 - Gumshoe: I was transferred to robbery for two weeks.
142 - Edgeworth: (Ah, the inept Detective Gumshoe. I have the misfortune of working with him very frequently.)
143 - Edgeworth: (He misses the obvious and is incapable of deduction...)
144 - Edgeworth: (...but his dedication and loyalty to me are incredible. That’s why he hasn’t exposed me.)
145 - Phoenix: Knowing Gumshoe, this testimony won’t be much of a problem.
146 - Edgeworth: I’m more concerned about making it through this testimony without losing my composure.
148 - Judge: The witness may begin his testimony.

167 - Judge: The evidence is accepted into the Court Record.

178 - Gumshoe: A masked woman entered the bank, pointed a gun at the teller and gave him a note demanding $200,000.
179 - Gumshoe: The teller gave the woman the money and the suspect fled.
180 - Gumshoe: On the way out, the thief dropped her gun. We think she didn't want to stand out as she fled.

185 - Edgeworth: This testimony is a lot better than I expected.
186 - Phoenix: In other words, he hasn't messed up?
187 - Edgeworth: Correct.
188 - Phoenix: Then just press away.
192 - Edgeworth: Describe the security of the bank.
193 - Gumshoe: It’s pretty simple, sir. There are some security cameras, safes, guards…
194 - Edgeworth: How many guards were there?
195 - Gumshoe: I think it was just one that day, and he came from the police.
196 - Gumshoe: Both of the regulars were sick, so they needed someone fast. 
197 - Gumshoe: The police were happy to help for some reason. The guy wasn't even armed, though.
198 - Edgeworth: (Curious…)
199 - Payne: Anybody, even the defendant, could have committed the crime with security like that.
200 - Edgeworth: Does that include His Honor?
201 - Judge: I assure you I am completely innocent!
202 - Payne: Err...
203 - Payne: The witnesses saw a woman in black. It couldn't have been His Honor.
204 - Edgeworth: Didn't they say anything else?
205 - Payne: We couldn't even get a height out of them.
206 - Edgeworth: (Very curious...)
211 - Edgeworth: A note?
212 - Gumshoe: Yeah. A fairly typical hold-up note.
213 - Gumshoe: It was typed up, and forensics couldn’t find any prints besides the teller's.
215 - Edgeworth: The defense requests that this note be submitted to evidence.
216 - Gumshoe: Oh, and while I’m at it, I’ll throw in the mask.
217 - Edgeworth: The mask?
218 - Gumshoe: Yeah. We found it on the street.
219 - Edgeworth: (Hmm…? There appear to be hairs inside. I had best note this.)
220 - Judge: The court will accept this evidence.
221 - Hold-up Note added to the Court Record.
222 - Mask added to the Court Record.
228 - Edgeworth: There was a guard at the bank, correct?
229 - Gumshoe: Yeah.
230 - Edgeworth: Why did the guard not intervene?
231 - Gumshoe: I think I mentioned that he didn't have a gun.
232 - Edgeworth: Oh...
233 - Payne: Don't tell me you're slipping up already, rookie.
234 - Edgeworth: (Rather arrogant for a custodian, isn't he?)
235 - Edgeworth: (Besides, I can't recall if the detective did mention that.)
240 - Edgeworth: Describe this gun for the court.
241 - Gumshoe: Well sir, it’s a simple silvery-blue pistol. We couldn’t find any bullets, but we did find some prints.
242 - Edgeworth: (I suppose there's nothing else to ask.)
244 - Edgeworth: Whose?
245 - Edgeworth: (Do I even want an answer to that question?)
246 - Gumshoe: The defendant’s. We tested for glove prints, but it was inconclusive.
247 - Edgeworth: !
248 - Judge: But the defendant’s a minor! How did she get a hold of a gun, eh?!
249 - Payne: Hee, hee, hee… 
250 - Payne: Now you see the defendant for who she really is!
251 - Payne: Even if you do believe in your client’s innocence, you cannot deny that she handled a gun! 
252 - Payne: For a minor, that is a crime in and of itself!
253 - Judge: Mr. Payne is right. Even if the defendant is found not guilty of the robbery...
254 - Judge: ...there will be charges for the illegal possession of a firearm.
256 - Edgeworth: Wright...
257 - Phoenix: I'm as much in the dark as you are.
258 - Edgeworth: That's all you can say?!
259 - Phoenix: That's all there is to say, I guess.
260 - Edgeworth: Unbelievable. I really do pity Trucy.
261 - Gumshoe: We marked the location of the gun on this map of the bank.
262 - Judge: The court accepts the evidence.
263 - Gun added to the Court Record.
264 - Floor Plans added to the Court Record.
270 - Edgeworth: A witness?
271 - Gumshoe: Yeah. I dunno anything about her, other than that she said she saw the defendant with the cash.
272 - Edgeworth: (Well, that was a useless inquiry.) 
273 - Edgeworth: Why do you think Trucy removed the mask?
274 - Gumshoe: Like I said, I think she wanted to stand out as little as possible.
275 - Gumshoe: There wasn’t anything that could be done about the sack of money, though.
281 - Edgeworth: You arrested the defendant solely on the basis of this one witness?!
282 - Gumshoe: []Is that a problem?
283 - Edgeworth: (Forget it. Explaining procedure to him is a waste of my time.)
290 - Edgeworth: Your Honor! What do you think of the witness's statement!?
291 - Judge: I don't think there is a problem with it.
292 - Edgeworth: Hmph... You say that with such gusto that I suppose I must agree that is all there is to it.
293 - Judge: ... Don't get smart with me!
294 - Judge: Get smart with this penalty!
295 - Edgeworth: (It would appear that even I can make mistakes...)
297 - Edgeworth: This evidence clearly reveals the contradiction in that statement, Your Honor!
298 - Judge: Unfortunately, I’m afraid I can’t accept that.
299 - Edgeworth: Well done, Your Honor.
300 - Judge: W-What?
301 - Edgeworth: I was only testing you just now.
302 - Judge: ...
303 - Judge: Well then, why don't you try testing this penalty, too?!
304 - Edgeworth: (It looks like I shouldn’t have spoken in haste…)
306 - Edgeworth: That statement contradicts the data provided by this piece of evidence!
307 - Judge: It does? How do you mean?
308 - Edgeworth: Forgive me, Your Honor, but you yourself just said that it does!
309 - Judge: ...
310 - Judge: Don’t try to play mind games with me!
311 - Edgeworth: (Curses... It appears I have yet to adjust to being on this side of the courtroom.)
316 - Judge: That is enough. Unless the defense objects, I would like to end the detective's cross-examination.
317 - Edgeworth: The defense has no objections.
318 - Judge: Good. Now, Mr. Payne, you mentioned calling a security guard as a witness, eh?
319 - Payne: Yes, Your Honor.
320 - Judge: Then please call him at this time.
321 - Payne: The prosecution calls our second witness, Mike Meekins, to the stand.
323 - Payne: Witness, please state your name and occupation.
325 - Meekins: Mike Meekins, police officer, sir!
326 - Edgeworth: (I have the vague feeling that I have seen this person before.)
327 - Payne: Before you begin, please explain why you were serving as a bank guard that night.
328 - Meekins: That’s a long story, sir. It starts about eight years ago whe-
330 - Edgeworth: Skip to the relevant parts, please.
331 - Meekins: I was a bailiff until I let a defendant escape in a big case, sir.
332 - Phoenix: He’s probably talking about the Gramayre trial, where I lost my badge. 
333 - Phoenix: Both the victim and the defendant were famous magicians, remember?
334 - Meekins: After that, I was transferred to desk duty.
335 - Meekins: The day of the robbery was my first day actually doing my normal job. That happens often.
336 - Judge: That?
337 - Meekins: Getting transferred, sir.
338 - Meekins: I’ve been transferred from recruiting officer to guard of the Blue Badger to-
339 - Edgeworth: Blue Badger?
340 - Meekins: The mascot of the police and pride of Gatewater Land, sir! I was once the Blue Badger, sir! 
341 - Meekins: I was proud to represent the police!
343 - Edgeworth: (Now I remember this klutz. I have dealt with him in two of my cases.)
344 - Edgeworth: (In both, he was a police officer turned murder suspect due to his own incompetence.)
345 - Edgeworth: (I get the sneaking suspicion that not much has changed.)
346 - Judge: I’m not sure how I feel about this witness, but...
348 - Judge: Mr. Meekins, please testify to the court about the robbery.
349 - Judge: With as little self-pity as possible.

390 - Meekins: But she just jumped over it! I did nothing to impede her escape, sir...
393 - Edgeworth: This testimony still doesn’t explain why they arrested Trucy.
394 - Phoenix: No, they’re probably saving the witness for that.
395 - Phoenix: The only thing the prosecution wants to prove is an outline of how the crime occurred.
396 - Edgeworth: If I could expose a contradiction here, it would be consequential.
397 - Phoenix: For now, just work on debunking this testimony. Knowing Meekins, it can’t be that hard.
398 - Edgeworth: I think the opposite. He is so inept that correcting his mess of a testimony will be strenuous.
399 - Phoenix: True… Get info, think through what he says and compare it to evidence.
400 - Phoenix: There has to be a contradiction in there somewhere…
404 - Edgeworth: How was your experience at the bank?
405 - Meekins: I met a very notable woman, sir! A very notable woman!
407 - Edgeworth: (This might be important... Do I want to hear more or not?)
408 - Edgeworth: Could you describe this woman?
409 - Meekins: Well, she had blond hair and green eyes... She screamed very loudly when the robber came. 
410 - Meekins: That’s all I noticed.
411 - Edgeworth: ...
412 - Payne: ...
413 - Judge: That was a complete waste of time, Edgeworth!
414 - Judge: Penalty!
415 - Phoenix: Well, sometimes you lose.
416 - Edgeworth: The defense does not believe this is relevant. Continue, witness.
417 - Phoenix: Pressing everything always works well for me.
418 - Edgeworth: (Until you get penalized for going off-topic.)
423 - Edgeworth: Why did you have to label her as suspicious?
424 - Meekins: Well…
428 - Edgeworth: (Hmm… There’s a lot to ask about here. What should I press on?)
429 - Edgeworth: Describe this young woman in black for me.
430 - Meekins: I can’t say much about the woman beyond that.
431 - Meekins: She wore black everything. Black shirt, black sweatpants, black shoes...
432 - Edgeworth: Black shoes?
433 - Meekins: Yes, sir!
434 - Judge: Well, do you think this detail is important?
435 - Edgeworth: Yes, I believe it is.
437 - Judge: Very well. Please add this to your testimony.
439 - Edgeworth: No, I do not. Please continue with the testimony.
441 - Edgeworth: What can you say about this ski mask?
442 - Meekins: Well, it was a simple ski mask…
443 - Edgeworth: Think! Any detail can be important! What it was made of, for instance.
444 - Meekins: Hmm...
445 - Meekins: If I had to label it wool or not wool, I would label it wool!
446 - Judge: Well, do you think this changes anything?
447 - Edgeworth: This is extremely important, Your Honor.
449 - Judge: Witness, please repeat that for the record.
451 - Edgeworth: I do not see relevance at this time. Proceed, witness.
453 - Edgeworth: Describe the gun in further detail.
454 - Meekins: Well, it was a pistol...
455 - Edgeworth: You are an officer, are you not? You should be able to give more specifics.
456 - Meekins: I failed my firearms proficiency test, sir.
457 - Edgeworth: (They let him have a gun in spite of that?!)
458 - Edgeworth: Officer, that is no excuse!
459 - Meekins: It was a black pistol, sir! What more was there to say?
460 - Judge: Was any of that relevant?
461 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense demands that this statement be added to the record.
463 - Judge: Understood. Amend your testimony, witness.
465 - Edgeworth: It does not appear to be meaningful.
466 - Edgeworth: So, witness, what happened next?
471 - Edgeworth: The shoelaces were black?
472 - Meekins: Yes, sir!
473 - Edgeworth: What about the aglets?
474 - Meekins: Aglets?
475 - Edgeworth: Do you not know what they are?
476 - Edgeworth: (In retrospect, I should never have used a word like that.)
477 - Edgeworth: (How would anybody, let alone him, know the word for the plastic end of a shoelace?)
478 - Meekins: No, sir, but do not blame me! It is a byproduct of the failure of my youthful generation, sir!
479 - Meekins: We must be told what to do and what aglets are!
480 - Edgeworth: … Forget it. Just continue, witness.
484 - Edgeworth: How are you so sure about the mask’s material?
485 - Meekins: I have always had skill with recognizing fabrics, sir! Always!
486 - Judge: Now I’m really not sure about letting this witness testify!
487 - Edgeworth: (For once, I have to agree.)
491 - Edgeworth: You’re sure?
492 - Meekins: Yes, sir! I could not be more sure, sir!
493 - Edgeworth: (Never ask him that again. The static may decimate my hearing.)
497 - Edgeworth: Why didn’t you do something about her earlier?
498 - Meekins: Well, she had run by so fast that I wasn’t sure what to do at first. 
499 - Meekins: It wasn’t until I heard the screams that it was clear that she was a robber.
500 - Edgeworth: That makes sense, but can you elaborate on where you stood?
502 - Meekins: Right on that W mark, sir! Right on it!
503 - Edgeworth: I see. Continue.
507 - Edgeworth: Your foot out?
508 - Meekins: Yes, sir. I can explain the technique, if you would wish.
510 - Edgeworth: (Do I want an explanation? Maybe I should ask on something else.)
511 - Edgeworth: Please explain this technique.
512 - Meekins: Well, it is a kung fu technique that I have practiced since I was a youth, sir. A youth!
513 - Judge: Well, that got us nowhere.
514 - Judge: Penalty for wasting time, Mr. Edgeworth!
515 - Edgeworth: (I need to be more careful with what I press.)
516 - Edgeworth: Actually, I would like elaboration on the note.
517 - Meekins: Well, it was a simple hold-up note.
518 - Edgeworth: The previous witness already gave me the basics. 
519 - Edgeworth: I was hoping that you could tell me more about the actual giving of the note.
520 - Meekins: ...
521 - Edgeworth: ?
522 - Meekins: Anyways, the robber came back to the entrance. I had my foot out…
527 - Edgeworth: What did you think would happen?!
528 - Meekins: That she would trip over and I would defeat the robber using my stealth skills, sir!
529 - Edgeworth: (Don’t give him anything else to talk about. It will be less painful that way.)
536 - Edgeworth: Mike Meekins, you stated that the gun used in the robbery was a “simple black pistol”, correct?
537 - Judge: You already pointed out this contradiction. Return to the cross-examination.
538 - Meekins: Yes, sir! I could-
539 - Edgeworth: I regret to inform you that your narrative is impossible.
540 - Meekins: Stop ignoring me!
541 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, what is the meaning of this?
542 - Edgeworth: Just look at the weapon presented by the good detective earlier.
543 - Judge: !
544 - Payne: I-It’s silver!
545 - Edgeworth: Exactly.
546 - Edgeworth: The witness claimed to see a 
547 - black
548 - gun, but the only gun was 
549 - silver
550 - .
551 - Edgeworth: Do you have an explanation for this, Mr. Meekins?!
552 - Meekins: Sir, no sir!
556 - Judge: Order!
557 - Judge: I'm not sure how I feel about this massive mistake of yours, witness!
558 - Phoenix: It does strike me as odd that Meekins would be mistaken about something like this.
559 - Edgeworth: Especially since he saw somebody in black. A black gun would blend in and be hard to see.
560 - Phoenix: Huh. I hadn’t noticed.
561 - Edgeworth: (Why am I not surprised?)
562 - Payne: Your Honor, the witness saw a gun. The color doesn't matter here.
563 - Judge: It may not be important, but I'm sure that this discrepancy troubles me.
564 - Judge: I still have my doubts about this witness, but...
565 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please proceed. I'm not sure how I feel about this testimony quite yet.
568 - Edgeworth: Mr. Meekins, let me confirm this. While you were along the entrance wall...
569 - Edgeworth: ...you stuck your foot out about the time that the hold-up note was given to the teller, yes?
570 - Meekins: Yes, sir!
571 - Edgeworth: Now, where were you specifically?
573 - Meekins: I was right there on the W, sir! I could not be more certain of this fact! I could not!
574 - Edgeworth: While I do not doubt the veracity of that statement, I have one question. 
575 - How did you know that?
577 - Payne: What do you mean, how did he know?! He just looked. There is no contradiction at all.
578 - Edgeworth: Hardly. The defense calls the court’s attention to the map.
580 - Edgeworth: The witness just now placed himself on the W mark.
582 - Edgeworth: How could he have seen the tellers' stations and known when they were given the note?!
583 - Payne: Ah!
584 - Judge: Witness, how did you know that?!
585 - Meekins: Well, sir... The bank had video cameras. 
586 - Meekins: I viewed the footage of the entrance and the tellers at the same time. That was how I knew.
588 - Edgeworth: Then why has this video not been submitted to the court?!
589 - Meekins: Well...
590 - Meekins: I hit delete instead of replay, sir!
591 - Edgeworth: ...
592 - Phoenix: ...
593 - Payne: ...
594 - Meekins: ...
595 - Judge: Unbelievable. What do you have to say aboot this?
596 - Meekins: I’m sorry, sir! My generation is careless and needs to be supervised at all times!
597 - Judge: You, sir, are a hoser.
598 - Judge: Now Mr. Payne, why did you not tell the court aboot this?!
599 - Payne: The prosecution had no idea…
600 - Edgeworth: (That is what comes of having a custodian as the prosecutor.)
601 - Judge: Despite this incompetency, the defense may continue.
603 - Meekins: Actually sir, if I had to label my-
604 - Judge: Get on with it!
605 - Meekins: The frame that I was viewing at the time wasn’t deleted. It showed the robber's entry.
606 - Judge: Then why did you not tell that to the court just now!
607 - Meekins: B-
608 - Judge: Don't answer that! Just submit the evidence!
609 - Camera Data added to the Court Record.
610 - Edgeworth: Need I point out that the build of the person here is completely different from the defendant?
611 - Judge: The defense does have a point...
612 - Payne: Well, that could be changed. Add a bit of padding here, shoes wth thick soles...
613 - Payne: Besides, there's no good reference object, is there?!
614 - Judge: Although I am a bit suspicious, the possibility is undeniable. I cannot accept your logic, Mr. Edgeworth.
615 - Edgeworth: (Hmm… It’s a bit disappointing that I couldn't go further, but it just can't be helped.)
616 - Edgeworth: (It would be worth it to pay close attention to this photograph. All the black can confuse the eyes.)
617 - Edgeworth: (While I'm at it, I should update the map with Meekins' position.)
619 - Floor Plans have been updated in the Court Record.
621 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, get back to the cross-examination! This man may be even worse than that painter!
622 - Judge: This cross-examination has been going on for quite some time now.
623 - Edgeworth: The defense believes that this testimony has been examined in sufficient detail at this point.
624 - Judge: I would like to dismiss the witness at this time, unless either side has any objections to this.
625 - Payne: No objections. The robbery needs no further description.
626 - Edgeworth: (Another cross-examination isn't needed, but if I understand the evidence, we may require him yet.)
628 - Edgeworth: The defense requests that the witness remain on the stand!
629 - Judge: Whatever for?
630 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense believes that the two problems noted earlier combine to form a larger problem.
631 - Judge: Proceed, but do not waste time. I do not want this witness on the stand any longer than necessary.
632 - Edgeworth: Thank you, Your Honor. 
633 - Edgeworth: Now then, the issue was raised in this testimony about the guns that the robber had.
634 - Judge: I seem to recall the witness saying the gun was black, but the gun was actually silver.
635 - Meekins: But I saw a black gun! You have to believe me, sir!
636 - Edgeworth: Anyways, the defense would like to propose an explanation for this.
637 - Phoenix: Are you sure you know what you're doing?
638 - Edgeworth: Quite sure.
640 - Edgeworth: There is one explanation for the problem of the black and silver guns.
641 - Edgeworth: Meekins is mistaken. There’s nothing more to it.
642 - Phoenix: Do you really think that he could make that sort of mistake?
643 - Judge: As unique as this witness is, I do not see how he could have made a mistake of that magnitude.
644 - Edgeworth: Do you see any other possibility?
645 - Judge: No, but I’m not sure that a mistake could explain the witness’s insistence. 
646 - Judge: Unless you have evidence to the contrary, I am going to have to penalize you.
647 - Edgeworth: The gun is not evidence enough?
648 - Judge: No. Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth.
650 - Edgeworth: The defense is of the opinion that there were, in fact, two guns!
651 - Payne: That’s insane! The defense is bluffing.
653 - Edgeworth: Oh? I do have evidence to back this up.
654 - Phoenix: Just make sure you present the right evidence. Giving Payne confidence is a bad idea.
655 - Edgeworth: Have some faith in me, Wright. This is no bluff.
656 - Judge: Alright then. We know there is a silver gun.
658 - Judge: Now, present your proof of a black gun.
659 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the gun changed color!
661 - Payne: Not even the most ridiculous defense attorney would propose that!
662 - Payne: It’s like suggesting that the victim was coerced by the Burger King!
663 - Judge: Objection sustained. 
664 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please think before you make ludicrous suggestions!
665 - Phoenix: Not even I could have pulled that one off.
666 - Edgeworth: (Now to re-gather my thoughts.)
667 - Edgeworth: (The witness saw a black gun, but the one we have is silver.)
668 - Edgeworth: (And if our witness is telling the truth, there's only one reason for that!)
670 - Edgeworth: Here!
671 - Judge: How does that prove the existence of the black gun?
672 - Edgeworth: Is it not obv-
673 - Edgeworth: Oh.
674 - Judge: Penalty!
675 - Edgeworth: (I just need to think this through this… Mike Meekins testified to seeing a black gun.)
676 - Edgeworth: (I am fairly confident that he did, but I need proof of it...  
677 - Edgeworth: And that piece is the proof I need!)
680 - Edgeworth: I present my evidence.
681 - Judge: The frame from the camera data?
682 - Payne: I knew it! The defense is bluffing. The defendant is obviously guilty, Your Honor.
684 - Edgeworth: Since this isn't apparent to the prosecution...
685 - Edgeworth: The defense requests to show the specific part that proves the existence of the gun!
686 - Judge: Very well, but be warned.
687 - Judge: If you bluff, there will be a steep price to pay!
688 - Edgeworth: Here is the proof of the black gun!
690 - Edgeworth: I believe the evidence speaks for itself.
691 - Judge: And what it is telling me is that a penalty is in order!
692 - Payne: I told you, didn’t I? A bluff.
693 - Phoenix: You’ve got to admit, that was pretty pathetic.
694 - Edgeworth: (Focus, Miles! The proof is lying in plain sight, I'm sure of it!)
696 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, please look closely at this point here.
697 - Judge: Why, I think I can see the outline of something! It’s a gun!
698 - Payne: W-What?! B-B-But that’s impossible! 
699 - Payne: There was no need to bring a second gun!
700 - Edgeworth: Although the defense cannot explain this, the proof is undeniable.
701 - Edgeworth: You can see the black gun in this still. That small bit of silver... That is easily the second gun.
702 - Edgeworth: (Although I must admit, I see no reason to bring two guns or only throw away one at this time.)
703 - Judge: Hmm...
704 - Judge: Witness, how did you even see that black gun?
705 - Meekins: I have very good eyesight, sir!
706 - Meekins: When training to be an officer, I was often complimented on it, sir!
707 - Edgeworth: (For lack of anything substantive, no doubt.)
708 - Meekins: I just missed the silver gun, I guess.
709 - Phoenix: If anybody would, it would be him.
710 - Edgeworth: Or Gumshoe. 
711 - Edgeworth: (I had best note this in the Court Record.)
713 - Gun updated in the Court Record.
714 - Judge: Unless there is anything else, then I would like to dismiss the witness at this time.
715 - Edgeworth: The defense has no further questions for this witness...
716 - Edgeworth: ...but we are not done with issues that arise from this camera shot!
717 - Judge: There’s more?!
718 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor. There is a contradiction within the evidence.
719 - Judge: A contradiction within the evidence?
720 - Edgeworth: Two pieces of evidence contradict each other. One is the same camera data I showed earlier.
721 - Payne: The prosecution still maintains that the defense is bluffing!
722 - Edgeworth: (I haven’t even said what the contradiction is yet!)
723 - Judge: Calm down, Mr. Payne! The defense hasn’t even said what the contradiction is yet! 
724 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please show the court this contradiction.
726 - Judge: What part of this photo contradicts the evidence?
728 - Edgeworth: As you can see here, this part of the photograph contradicts the autopsy report!
729 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, there is no autopsy report.
730 - Edgeworth: And that is the contradiction!
731 - Judge: You are a contradiction! Penalty!
732 - Phoenix: What was that?
733 - Edgeworth: I was just doing what you always do. 
734 - Edgeworth: Select somewhere completely irrelevant and make a wild claim about it.
735 - Phoenix: The difference is that I’m right.
736 - Edgeworth: (He’s right, even if he is a hypocrite. I need to focus.)
737 - Edgeworth: (There is a contradiction in two pieces of the evidence.)
738 - Edgeworth: (Before I expose the problem, I need to know what the contradiction is myself.)
739 - Edgeworth: (And I know that the camera data is involved, so this leads me to conclude…)
741 - Edgeworth: Mr. Payne, could you please inform the court on why criminals so often wear gloves?
742 - Payne: You don’t know? Rookie. 
743 - Payne: Smart criminals wear gloves so that they don’t leave behind fingerprints.
744 - Payne: Of course, it seems like your client was not so lucky.
745 - Edgeworth: Oh, really? 
746 - Edgeworth: Then perhaps you should look at the shot from the camera again. 
747 - Edgeworth: You can very clearly see that the robber was wearing gloves.
748 - Judge: Odd.
749 - Judge: I was sure that the robber was not wearing gloves for some reason.
750 - Edgeworth: Then allow me to remove that idea from your mind, Your Honor.
752 - Edgeworth: I have proof that those gloves were worn for at least most of this theft.
755 - Edgeworth: I present to you my evidence.
756 - Judge: Hmm… I no longer have any doubts.
757 - Edgeworth: Really, Your Honor?
758 - Judge: I am very certain that you have no clue what you are saying!
759 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth!
760 - Edgeworth: Wait, Your Honor!
761 - Edgeworth: I simply grabbed the wrong piece! Give me another chance!
764 - Edgeworth: I direct your attention to the hold-up note.
765 - Payne: But there’s nothing important on it!
766 - Edgeworth: Precisely.
767 - Payne: ?
768 - Edgeworth: Let us assume that the defendant is the robber and did not wear gloves.
769 - Edgeworth: Why are her prints nowhere to be found?
771 - Payne: Aaaaaaaagggghhhh!
772 - Judge: The defense raises a valid point. Mr. Payne, do you have a response that uses words?
773 - Payne: Um... Well...
774 - Judge: Those are not words, Mr. Payne.
775 - Payne: The prints were wiped! Yes, that's it! The prints were wiped from the note!
777 - Edgeworth: This is a piece of paper. How does one wipe fingerprints from that? Besides, why not wipe the gun?
778 - Payne: Gah!
779 - Judge: In which case, the prosecution cannot refute the defense.
780 - Judge: Although I must ask... What was the importance of these prints, eh?
781 - Edgeworth: (Have you not been paying any attention?!)
782 - Edgeworth: As I was saying...
784 - Edgeworth: The fingerprints are important because of this, the evidence they contradict!
786 - Edgeworth: This proves the matter beyond a doubt.
787 - Judge: Your lack of grey matter, perhaps!
788 - Judge: Penalty!
789 - Edgeworth: W-Wait!
790 - Edgeworth: I can prove it!
792 - Judge: The gun?
793 - Edgeworth: Yes. The detective testified quite specifically that the defendant’s fingerprints were on the gun. 
794 - Judge: So he did, but what does that have to do with anything?
795 - Edgeworth: (Must I spell everything out?)
797 - Edgeworth: The defendant's fingerprints were on the gun, but the robber wore gloves. This clearly tells us...
798 - Edgeworth: How the prints got in the gun at all.
799 - Judge: How is that affected at all?
800 - Edgeworth: The prosecution's theory is that the prints were left during the robbery.
801 - Judge: Correct.
802 - Edgeworth: It is now self-evident that this is an impossibility...
803 - Edgeworth: Unless the prosecution would be kind enough to explain how one leaves fingerprints through gloves!
804 - Edgeworth: The prints are irrelevant.
805 - Judge: I don’t follow.
806 - Edgeworth: It's easy when you think about it. 
807 - Edgeworth: Why were those fingerprints even related to the case in the first place?
808 - Judge: Because they were on the weapon used to commit the robbery.
809 - Edgeworth: Precisely. And now that we know the killer wore gloves, those prints are totally irrelevant.
810 - Judge: ...
811 - Edgeworth: They have no relation to the case. At all.
812 - Judge: Penalty!
813 - Judge: Refrain from making such hasty decisions.
814 - Edgeworth: Whose prints are on the gun!
815 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
816 - Edgeworth: ?
817 - Payne: You’re out of your league, rookie.
818 - Edgeworth: Then please, show me where I differ from the evidence, Mr. Payne.
819 - Judge: He doesn't have to. What effect what gloves have on whose fingerprints were left, eh?
820 - Payne: Maybe the gloves summoned the evidence fairy!
821 - Judge: I don't know how I feel about that...
822 - Judge: Where was I?
823 - Edgeworth: Giving me another chance?
824 - Judge: Oh, right.
825 - Judge: Penalty!
826 - Edgeworth: Ngooohh!
827 - Edgeworth: (I just need to think through this rationally, and then the truth will burst forth as a flower!)
828 - Edgeworth: Your Honor...
829 - Payne: Aaaaagggghhhh!
830 - Edgeworth: Even Mr. Payne admitted earlier that criminals wear gloves to hide fingerprints.
834 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, just what is the meaning of this?!
835 - Edgeworth: Those prints were not left during the robbery. Ergo, they do not incriminate the defendant!
836 - Judge: Mr. Payne, your decisive evidence has been shot down, and that was only the second cross-examination!
837 - Payne: Not necessarily...
838 - Payne: The defendant could have left those prints while handling the gun before the robbery.
839 - Judge: She left those prints...
840 - Edgeworth: Before the robbery?!
842 - Edgeworth: As a magician, the defendant would always wear gloves. It's a magician's trademark!
844 - Payne: All it would take is one time to leave those prints, rookie.
845 - Phoenix: Good show, but I think Payne has a valid point for once.
846 - Judge: The prosecution has a valid point, and we will proceed unless the defense has a counterargument.
848 - Judge: Does the defense have a rebuttal to the theory that the prints were left while preparing for the crime?
849 - Edgeworth: (The momentum that I have worked so hard to acquire...)
850 - Edgeworth: (I refuse to let this amateur tear it asunder!)
851 - Edgeworth: The defense has a response!
852 - Payne: Impossible!
853 - Phoenix: Are you sure about this?
854 - Edgeworth: Of course. It’s just a matter of bringing the contradiction in his claim into the open.
856 - Edgeworth: The defense exhibits its rebuttal through this piece of evidence!
858 - Judge: This evidence exhibits no rebuttal.
859 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth.
860 - Judge: I will ask one more time.
861 - Edgeworth: The defense has no response at this time.
862 - Judge: Hmm...
863 - Judge: In this case, the trial will continue. The prosecution may call its witness.
864 - Phoenix: Stay sharp, Edgeworth. Payne's case is in tatters, but it's still alive. And I know Payne.
865 - Phoenix: He lives to make defendants look guilty, even if he does a terrible job at it.
866 - Edgeworth: How is that even possible?
867 - Phoenix: Have you not been paying attention during this trial? He hasn’t exactly lived up to your standards.
868 - Edgeworth: I thought he was a janitor at the Prosecutor’s Office!
870 - Phoenix: Maybe he should be. Regardless, Payne is likely betting everything on his witness.
871 - Phoenix: He likes describing the crime more than proving the witness’s guilt, so he loves eyewitnesses.
872 - Phoenix: To turn this trial around, you need to find any flaw you can in this next testimony!
873 - Edgeworth: ("Prosecutor" Payne, my job here is to find the truth.)
874 - Edgeworth: (If your witness intends to hide that truth from me, I shall have no mercy upon you or your case.)
875 - Payne: The prosecution calls Dee Jordur, its decisive witness.
877 - Payne: Witness, please give your name and profession to the court.
878 - Jordur: Dee Jordur. Part-time keyboarder at the Wonder Bar and student of the culinary arts. 
879 - Problem?
880 - Edgeworth: ...
881 - Judge: ...
882 - Phoenix: ...
883 - Payne: ...
884 - Jordur: Good. I’ll get on with the testimony.
885 - Judge: Not so fast, witness.
886 - Judge: Mr. Payne, can you explain the, well, behavior of this witness?
887 - Jordur: Are you saying you got a problem with it?!
888 - Judge: No! No! Mr. Payne, help!
889 - Payne: What are you looking at me for?!
890 - Judge: You called her!
891 - Payne: You asked me to!
892 - Edgeworth: (Don’t be so easily intimidated, you two. If all else fails, a chilly glare always cools a raging witness.)
893 - Edgeworth: (Really, you haven't even asked the witness the obvious question.)
894 - Edgeworth: Witness, the court has one question before you proceed.
895 - Jordur: ?
896 - Edgeworth: What will you testify about?
897 - Jordur: Seeing magic girl over there run off with the money. Duh.
898 - Judge: You saw the defendant's getaway?!
899 - Jordur: Yep.
903 - Judge: Order, order!
904 - Judge: This is an important piece of testimony.
905 - Payne: Did you honestly think that I would indict anybody, let alone a little girl, if I didn’t have proof?!
906 - Payne: This is the trial where my luck changes. You’ve exhausted your supply of tricks, Edgeworth!
907 - Payne: This is a chessboard, and you spent all your effort trying to capture some pawns.
908 - Payne: I’m going in for the king!
909 - Edgeworth: (I would inform him that pawns can transform to queens, but the significance would be lost on him.)
910 - Judge: Let's not waste any more time.
912 - Judge: Witness, begin your testimony.

917 - Jordur: N
918 - Special sprite: ight of the robbery, I’m walking home after a Wonder Bar show.
919 - Jordur: I 
920 - Special sprite: hear something and turn around to see the jerk who disrupted the tranquility of my peaceful walk!
921 - Jordur: I 
922 - Special sprite: clearly see magic-girl, overbearing as ever in those clothes of hers...
923 - Jordur: S
924 - Special sprite: he had some sack of something behind her. Oh yeah, and she had a gun.
925 - Jordur: I 
926 - Special sprite: ask what she’s doing, since she wasn't scheduled at the bar, but she just runs past me.
927 - Jordur: S
928 - Special sprite: he mutters to herself stuff like "mask", "police," "bank," and "run." I couldn’t hear it all.
929 - Jordur: I 
930 - Special sprite: thought nothing of it ‘til I heard about the robbery. Then I called the cops.
931 - Judge: There's one point I'm confused aboot.
932 - Jordur: Yes, Gramps?
933 - Judge: Why were you so sure that the defendant’s actions were linked to the robbery?
934 - Jordur: What are you, deaf? Senile? Stupid from birth?!
935 - Judge: I’m not sure that I care for your attitude.
936 - Jordur: Whatever.
937 - Jordur: In answer to your question, I pieced it all together. 
938 - Jordur: Mention of a bank and the police, a large sack, a gun, frantic running, she fit the body profile…
939 - Judge: Hmm…
940 - Judge: It would be hard to draw any other conclusion from that.
941 - Jordur: And it will also be hard not to have deduced that the first time I said that!
942 - Payne: Now, witne-
943 - Jordur: Shut up. All I want is to get this done.
944 - Jordur: I have a rehearsal today, and I am not letting this freak’s trial take me from it.
945 - Judge: Mr. Payne, control your witness!
946 - Payne: Err… This was a condition of the witness’s invaluable testimony.
947 - Judge: A condition?
948 - Payne: She wouldn’t cooperate otherwise, and it’s clear how important her testimony is for the prosecution.
949 - Payne: It is hard to draw any conclusion from this other than that the defendant had robbed a bank. 
950 - Payne: And as this was the only bank robbed...
951 - Payne: The defendant did it, and this testimony proves it!
952 - Payne: She held that gun up to the teller and took the money to get rich and impress boys.
953 - Phoenix: Most people aren’t impressed by such superficialities and look for something a bit deeper. 
954 - Phoenix: Except you, Payne. You never look deeper.
955 - Payne: !
956 - Judge: The defense may begin the cross- examination. 
957 - Judge: Preferably before the prosecution and the defense’s co-counsel get into a row, eh?
958 - Jordur: Or before Longbeard over there gets any more pompous. Really, he thinks he's in charge here.
959 - Phoenix: Careful, Edgeworth. This witness is a bit volatile.
960 - Edgeworth: (You don't say?)

967 - Jordur: Night of the robbery, I’m walking home after a Wonder Bar show.
968 - Jordur: I hear something and turn around to see the jerk who disrupted the tranquility of my peaceful walk!
969 - Jordur: I clearly see magic-girl, overbearing as ever in those clothes of hers...
970 - Jordur: She had some sack of something behind her. Oh yeah, and she had a gun.
971 - Jordur: I ask what she’s doing, since she wasn't scheduled at the bar, but she just runs past me.
972 - Jordur: She mutters to herself stuff like "mask", "police," "bank," and "run." I couldn’t hear it all.
973 - Jordur: I thought nothing of it ‘til I heard about the robbery. Then I called the cops.
976 - Edgeworth: There are no contradictions that are popping out at me.
977 - Phoenix: Then you’ll have to look for the contradictions that aren’t as obvious.
978 - Edgeworth: Such as?
979 - Phoenix: You’re the lawyer, not me.
980 - Edgeworth: (By which you mean that you have absolutely no idea.)
981 - Edgeworth: (Well, I suppose that a long hard look at the evidence is in order.)
982 - Edgeworth: (And also... Can't Wright be bothered to look at me when he's talking to me?!)
986 - Edgeworth: Could you please speak more on this show?
987 - Jordur: I played the keyboard.
988 - Edgeworth: ...  
989 - Jordur: ...  
990 - Edgeworth: … Don’t you have anything else to say on the matter?
991 - Jordur: Not really, no.
992 - Edgeworth: Let me try a different approach. When did the show end?
993 - Jordur: Midnight. Clean-up took 15 minutes, so the time was 12:20.
994 - Payne: Which would put her on-track to have seen the defendant shortly after the robbery.
995 - Edgeworth: (As much as I disagree with what Mr. Payne is trying to imply...)
996 - Edgeworth: (...I don't have the evidence I need to argue with him just yet.
1000 - Edgeworth: The tranquility of your walk?
1001 - Jordur: What?! You don’t believe that a girl needs some quiet alone time?
1002 - Edgeworth: That isn’t what I-
1003 - Jordur: Meant? Oh, of course it was! All you defense attorneys are the same.
1004 - Edgeworth: (Odd reaction.)
1005 - Jordur: If you must know, I was rather stressed after that performance.
1006 - Judge: Very well. Now, what did you see when you turned around?
1010 - Edgeworth: Those clothes of hers?
1011 - Jordur: What are you, blind?!
1012 - Jordur: On second thought, it might be that the defendant is so ugly that you can’t bear to look at her. 
1013 - Jordur: That makes sense, actually.
1015 - Edgeworth: The defense objects to this witness’s uncalled for insulting of the defendant.
1016 - Jordur: Cool it, pinkie! I'm leaving if I can't say what I want.
1017 - Edgeworth: Then we can get a subpoena. 
1018 - Edgeworth: Nothing will stop me in my pursuit of the truth, not even your threats!
1019 - Judge: Calm down, both of you!
1020 - Judge: Now witness, please answer the question.
1021 - Jordur: Right, the clothes.
1022 - Jordur: Trucy is such a snob, always wearing that magician’s get-up as if she’s better than the rest of us. 
1023 - Jordur: It would be inexcusable even if it was a good look.
1024 - Edgeworth: (So she doesn’t like Trucy’s wardrobe. How informative.)
1028 - Edgeworth: Please describe this gun in detail.
1029 - Jordur: What is there to describe? A gun is a gun.
1030 - Edgeworth: Well-
1031 - Jordur: Oh wait!
1032 - Jordur: You want model, 
1033 - if it had been fired recently, 
1034 - how many bullets, 
1035 - what age it was, 
1036 - any fingerprints...
1037 - Jordur: Am I right?
1038 - Edgeworth: All I wanted was the color.
1039 - Jordur: Fine. It was black and shiny. Unlike you, who seems rather dull!
1040 - Payne: This just proves the credibility of the witness. She saw the black gun, exactly like she should.
1041 - Edgeworth: Are you sure about this, witness?
1042 - Jordur: No, I testified in a court of law about something that I had no intention of standing by.
1043 - Edgeworth: So that’s a yes.
1044 - Jordur: Maybe.
1045 - Edgeworth: ...
1046 - Phoenix: Just hang in there, Edgeworth. All you need is to find a contradiction.
1047 - Edgeworth: Which is quite difficult when I can’t get a straight answer from her.
1051 - Edgeworth: She wasn’t scheduled?
1052 - Jordur: Are you a parrot, or just stupid? I said she wasn’t scheduled, so she wasn’t scheduled!
1053 - Edgeworth: I was hoping that you could elaborate on this.
1054 - Jordur: You were, were you?
1055 - Edgeworth: … What do you mean when you say that she wasn’t scheduled?
1056 - Jordur: She wasn’t supposed to perform at the Wonder Bar that night!
1057 - Jordur: I thought it was odd that she was in the area, so I asked her about it!
1058 - Jordur: Is that so suspicious?! Anything odd or confusing?!
1059 - Payne: The prosecution can confirm that the defendant did not have any performances that night. 
1060 - Payne: Neither does the defendant argue this.
1061 - Jordur: Jeez, it takes you a while to learn.
1062 - Edgeworth: Why did you notice when she ran?
1063 - Jordur: I asked her a question, but she didn’t even acknowledge that I was there! 
1064 - Jordur: Can you imagine anybody who could be that rude?
1065 - Edgeworth: The defense declines to comment.
1066 - Jordur: That was a comment!
1067 - Judge: Noted. Now, if the witness would explain what happened next?
1071 - Edgeworth: Why couldn’t you hear that well?
1072 - Jordur: For starters, she was running past me. She wouldn’t have been in earshot for very long.
1073 - Edgeworth: Oh.
1074 - Jordur: And then there is the matter that she had been running for quite some time!
1075 - Jordur: She was out of breath and couldn’t speak very loudly! What did you expect?!
1076 - Edgeworth: Well-
1077 - Jordur: Oh, I’m not finished!
1078 - Jordur: She wasn’t trying to be heard, remember? 
1079 - Jordur: What idiot would yell “I have to run from the police because I robbed a bank” when somebody could hear?
1080 - Jordur: Do you have a good explanation for why you decided to waste my time with this question of yours?!
1081 - Judge: That’s enough. We all know why you couldn’t hear the robber that well. 
1082 - Judge: Now, unless the defense has any more questions on this statement, which I doubt...
1083 - Judge: ...please continue the testimony.
1087 - Edgeworth: Why did you not call the police immediately?
1088 - Jordur: Well...
1089 - Edgeworth: (If I want to change the topic, now is the time. I do not want this witness losing control completely.)
1091 - Jordur: Take a guess, nimrod! It doesn’t even take a single second’s worth of thought!
1092 - Jordur: I was tired and I had no crime to tie her to!
1093 - Jordur: You don’t go crying robber unless you know there’s a robbery! 
1094 - Jordur: What I saw was not evidence of a robbery, only that if one had occurred, she had probably done it!
1095 - Jordur: If there was a lawyer hiding evidence, then I would turn you in, but I can't prove your guilt...
1096 - Jordur: So I am not going to be reporting you to the police, however much you deserve it!
1097 - Jordur: You are without a doubt the least intelligent person that I have ever met!
1098 - Jordur: And I have met plenty of dumb people, the defendant included!
1099 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth… 
1100 - Judge: You can’t rile up the witness like that! Learn to be more cautious in the future! Penalty!
1101 - Edgeworth: (He’s right. I need to be careful with a witness like this, who will explode at the least trifle.)
1103 - Edgeworth: On second thought, it’s obvious why you didn’t inform them at the time. My apologies for asking.
1104 - Jordur: Thanks for admitting it for once, pinkie.
1105 - Edgeworth: Now, what did you do after your encounter with the defendant, but before you called the police?
1106 - Edgeworth: You never explained that in your testimony.
1107 - Jordur: Did you even have to ask? I went to my apartment and went to bed.
1108 - Jordur: It was late, and I get angry when I don’t get enough sleep!
1109 - Edgeworth: (And we would hate to see you angry, wouldn’t we?)
1116 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur...
1117 - Jordur: Don’t you start, pinkie! I don’t want to hear one word out of you! The sooner this ends, the better!
1119 - Edgeworth: In which case, I highly advise that you stop lying to the court.
1120 - Jordur: L-Lying?!
1121 - Edgeworth: You said that you saw “magic-girl, overbearing as ever in those clothes of hers,” referring to-
1122 - Jordur: The defendant in her nonsense magician costume, yeah, yeah. We all heard me.
1123 - Edgeworth: Then perhaps you should hear this.
1124 - The robber was not wearing a magician's attire!
1125 - Edgeworth: We have camera data, a witness and a police report that all say one thing!
1126 - Edgeworth: The robber was wearing all black, not any magician’s uniform!
1127 - Jordur: WHAT?!
1128 - Judge: Witness, this is a serious oversight! How do you explain this?
1129 - Jordur: Well, I, uh...
1130 - Edgeworth: This testimony proves that my client was the criminal?
1131 - You’re going in for the king?
1132 - Edgeworth: Hollow bluffs, and nothing more. Your witness is a sham, Payne!
1133 - Payne: A-Ack!
1136 - Edgeworth:  
1137 - Judge:  
1138 - Phoenix:  
1139 - Payne:  
1140 - Jordur: Being a bit too hasty on this one, aren’t you, pinkie?
1141 - Edgeworth: I don’t follow.
1142 - Jordur: Oh, I’m not surprised. Not in the slightest. You look like the slow type to me. 
1143 - Jordur: Anyways, the explanation for this "contradiction" is incredibly simple.
1144 - Jordur: Let’s say that you were in the bank during the robbery. The robber is gone. What now?
1145 - Edgeworth: Call the police and tell them to be on the lookout for-
1146 - Edgeworth: No!
1147 - Jordur: A woman wearing black.
1148 - Jordur: If you were a cop investigating this, why even bother with some weird illusionist wearing blue?
1150 - Edgeworth: But where did the magician's clothes come from, and where did the robber's clothes go?
1151 - Jordur: Dunno. My guess is the crime was planned and she changed in some warehouse or old building.
1152 - Jordur: She put her blue clothes there in advance of the crime, shook the cops, and changed in there.
1153 - Jordur: Maybe she doubled back and stowed the cash there too.
1154 - Jordur: It's the only way things make sense, 'cuz I'm sure of what I saw.
1155 - Jordur: Believe me, I’m sure of what I saw.
1156 - Jordur: She ran under the streetlight and tripped, giving me more than enough time and light to look.
1157 - Jordur: I even talked to her when she was on the ground! I couldn't have more easily identified her and the getup.
1158 - Edgeworth: Yes, but… But…  
1159 - Edgeworth: (There’s nothing I can say! This is entirely possible!)
1160 - Jordur: Cat got your tongue, pinkie? 
1161 - Jordur: Face it. Your case is crumbling like a shoddy soufflé. Your precious contradiction is nothing but dust.
1162 - Jordur: There’s no problem in my testimony. At all. 
1163 - Jordur: Now if you’d please, I do need to get to rehearsal sometime today, gramps.
1164 - Judge: Hmm…
1165 - Judge: I do see little doubt in this case. Evidence and testimony both point squarely at the defendant. 
1166 - Judge: Her fingerprints on the gun are extraordinarily solid, even if they were left before the murder. 
1167 - Judge: The witness’s testimony could not be clearer in how it points blame at the defendant for this robbery.
1168 - Judge: And considering the witness’s schedule and, well, her temperament...
1169 - Judge: I am inclined to dismiss the witness at this time. 
1170 - Judge: That is, unless the defense sees any merit in further testimony.
1171 - Edgeworth: (What do I say?! If I don’t ask for another testimony, I don’t see how I can continue this trial.)
1172 - Edgeworth: (But, if I do ask for another testimony, I might not be able to find anything...)
1173 - Edgeworth: (...and I might be asked to give grounds for another testimony.)
1174 - Edgeworth: (And at this time, there is no reason for another testimony!)
1175 - Edgeworth: (Every instinct I have as a prosecutor is telling me to give in and accept my defendant’s guilt.)
1176 - Edgeworth: (I have no proof of innocence, and even if she is a child, she could be another Dahlia Hawthorne.)
1177 - Edgeworth: (I swore to Wright that I would get Trucy a not guilty, but what if this contradicts the truth?)
1178 - Judge: Your response, Mr. Edgeworth?
1179 - Phoenix: ...
1180 - Edgeworth: (I can't act rashly. Don't even blink unless you're assured of the truth.)
1181 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense requests…
1182 - Edgeworth: The defense requests further testimony!
1184 - Payne: Your Honor, the defense is just bluffing at this point! 
1185 - Payne: I’m sure you can agree that more testimony would be pointless!
1186 - Judge: Hmm...
1188 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, we have only been through three cross-examinations!
1189 - Edgeworth: Decisive contradictions have appeared through these examinations of the testimony.
1191 - Payne: Decisive?! All the contradictions were explained!
1192 - Phoenix: You’ve got to admit, for three cross-examinations, that’s pretty good for him.
1193 - Jordur: Pinkie, do you have no respect, at all, for my busy schedule?!
1195 - Edgeworth: Do you have no respect for finding the truth and not incarcerating an innocent?!
1196 - Jordur: Innocent? Hmph. An illusion. Nobody is really “innocent.” 
1197 - Jordur: Whether she did it or not, and believe me she did, that creep deserves this punishment!
1198 - Judge: Hmm...
1199 - Edgeworth: You can’t honestly believe that!
1200 - Edgeworth: If we were so careless in applying the law, then who knows what would happen?
1201 - Jordur: A person like you could never understand.
1202 - Edgeworth: You're totally insane!
1203 - Jordur: Call me what you will. The point is that I am not testifying again unless I have a good reason!
1204 - Judge: Hmm...
1205 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, you look conflicted.
1206 - Judge: I am not convinced that additional testimony is needed at this point...
1207 - Judge: ...but closing a trial after three cross-examinations is premature. 
1209 - Judge: I have made my decision!
1210 - Judge: The defense will be allowed to present one and only one piece of evidence.
1211 - Judge: The defense may use this to demonstrate either another contradiction in this case...
1212 - Judge: ...or some point of importance that has not been given the attention warranted in this trial.
1213 - Edgeworth: (That rules out every contradiction I’ve exposed so far.)
1214 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, I believe in you.
1215 - Edgeworth: How helpful.
1217 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, present evidence that this case needs further attention or accept a guilty verdict.
1220 - Edgeworth: (This is it. This is the point where this trial begins to transform entirely!)
1221 - Judge: What am I looking at?
1222 - Edgeworth: Evidence, Your Honor.
1223 - Edgeworth: Evidence that proves that the three cross-examinations so far have been inadequate at best!
1224 - Judge: I’m sorry Mr. Edgeworth, but the only thing that is inadequate is your skill.
1225 - Judge: Ultimate penalty!
1226 - Edgeworth: The defense does not request further testimony.
1227 - Judge: What?! The defense is giving up?!
1228 - Payne: Did you expect anything else, once they realized that their client was obviously guilty?
1229 - Jordur: Finally, you admit defeat. It took you long enough.
1231 - Edgeworth: Please, let a man finish his statement.
1232 - Edgeworth: The defense has no intent of giving up at this critical juncture.
1234 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense requests something else entirely. This, in fact!
1235 - Edgeworth: The defense requests to repeat that last cross-examination!
1236 - Judge: Was your first cross-examination lacking in any way?
1237 - Edgeworth: Well, no, but… But…
1238 - Payne: Hmph. Amateur.
1239 - Edgeworth: The defense requests to change our request.
1240 - Judge: Very well, but this court does not take very kindly to wasting time.
1241 - Judge: Penalty!
1242 - Judge: Now, why did you reject a new testimony from this witness?
1243 - Edgeworth: The defense requests to cross- examine these new statements.
1244 - Judge: New statements?
1245 - Edgeworth: Were you not paying attention after that cross-examination? 
1246 - Edgeworth: The witness made a number of statements that have not yet been cross-examined.
1247 - Edgeworth: The defense wishes to cross-examine these new statements!
1248 - Edgeworth: The defense requests a plea deal!
1249 - Edgeworth: My client is indeed guilty. It is in her best interests to accept this in exchange for a reduced sentence.
1250 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?! This is my daughter!
1251 - Judge: So the defense would like to change its mind, eh?
1252 - Edgeworth: (What was I thinking?! Trucy can’t be guilty!) 
1253 - Edgeworth: That was a slip of the tongue.
1254 - Judge: And that was a slip of my gavel. 
1255 - Judge: Now, why do you not want further testimony?
1257 - Payne: The defense is being absurd! 
1258 - Payne: The statements made by the witness can’t possibly contain any significant information.
1259 - Payne: This is just stalling in hopes that the defense will think of some new way to confuse the court.
1261 - Edgeworth: All the defense is asking is to cross-examine the witness. Is that so much to ask?
1262 - Payne: Yes! Yes it is!
1264 - Edgeworth: Those statements contain entirely new information!
1265 - Edgeworth: How can you say there is no need to cross-examine those statements?
1266 - Edgeworth: It would make a mockery of justice not to examine them fully!
1267 - Payne: Ack!
1268 - Judge: Hmm…
1269 - Judge: Although I do see some value in cross-examining those statements...
1270 - Judge: I am not sure what this will actually accomplish.
1271 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, I am going to permit this, but on one condition.
1272 - Edgeworth: Yes?
1273 - Judge: There is very little doubt of the defendant’s guilt, our witness has somewhere to be, and frankly...
1274 - Judge: ...this is the first time that Mr. Payne has done anywhere near this well in quite some time. 
1275 - Judge: I am allowing this only because there is new information, irrelevant as it may seem to me.
1276 - Judge: If you press the witness or present evidence that does not show a contradiction...
1277 - Judge: ...then I will be forced to end the trial immediately. Do I make myself clear?
1278 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor.
1279 - Edgeworth: (So much for not making a mockery of justice.)
1280 - Judge: Good.
1282 - Judge: Now then, witness. Please repeat the statements you made earlier.
1283 - Jordur: Whatever will make the defense look like an idiot, "Your Honor."

1289 - Jordur: rucy ran under a streetlight, so I could see her easily. 
1290 - Jordur: B
1291 - Jordur: efore you say anything, she tripped, so I had plenty of time to look. 
1292 - Jordur: I 
1293 - Jordur: talked to her when she fell. The running and muttering came after she got up.

1299 - Jordur: egardless of how she did it, it couldn't have been easier to identify her.
1300 - Judge: The defense may begin the cross- examination, but be warned that time-wasting will not be tolerated.

1307 - Jordur: Trucy ran under a streetlight, so I could see her easily. 
1308 - Jordur: Before you say anything, she tripped, so I had plenty of time to look. 
1309 - Jordur: I talked to her when she fell. The running and muttering came after she got up.
1310 - Jordur: On top of that, your contradiction does not exist. She was wearing her full magician's outfit. 
1311 - Jordur: My best guess is she changed at some old building, where she had hid her clothes earlier. 
1312 - Jordur: Regardless of how she did it, it couldn't have been easier to identify her.
1315 - Edgeworth: Well, any hints?
1316 - Phoenix: Press the statement about gloves.
1317 - Edgeworth: This isn't the DeMasque trial!
1318 - Phoenix: Oh, right.
1319 - Phoenix: Well, if things happened as she says, then a few other things would happen. 
1320 - Phoenix: Maybe you should focus on evidence that contradicts the implications of her testimony.
1321 - Edgeworth: That’s actually useful advice. 
1322 - Edgeworth: (Now it’s just a matter of using it. There has to be a contradiction in this testimony somewhere!)
1326 - Edgeworth: I was wond-
1327 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1328 - Judge: I’m sorry Mr. Edgeworth, but I did warn you. I am afraid that I will have to end the trial at this point.
1332 - Edgeworth: I have to ask-
1333 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1334 - Judge: I regret this, but I did tell you. Mr. Edgeworth, this trial is over.
1338 - Edgeworth: I must inquire as to-
1339 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1340 - Judge: I did not want to do this Edgeworth, but you should have known better.
1341 - Judge: I must hand down my verdict at this time.
1345 - Edgeworth: I have a query-
1346 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1347 - Judge: I was hoping we could avoid this, but apparently not. Mr. Edgeworth, you lose.
1351 - Edgeworth: I am going to question you on-
1352 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1353 - Judge: My sincerest apologies, but it is high time this trial ended. Penalty!
1357 - Edgeworth: I have an enquiry on that st-
1358 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1359 - Judge: I am not sure how I feel about this, but…
1360 - Judge: Your client's fate is sealed! Penalty!
1364 - Edgeworth: The defense has found a contra-
1365 - Jordur: Yo pinkie! I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but you are the dumbest lawyer of all time.
1366 - Jordur: Of all time!
1367 - Judge: The contradiction, Mr. Edgeworth?
1368 - Edgeworth: We all know that Sean Stryker is the real dumbest lawyer of all time!
1369 - Judge: True, but irrelevant! Penalty!
1373 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur, it seems that I owe you an apology.
1374 - Jordur: For what?
1375 - Jordur: Wasting my time with this idiotic cross-examination?
1376 - Accusing me of lying?
1377 - Jordur: Calling me a sham?
1378 - All those moronic questions?
1379 - Defending that freakish magician?
1380 - Edgeworth: None of those, surprisingly.
1381 - Jordur: Oh, I missed some stupid thing you did?
1382 - Jordur: Considering how many there are, I’m not too terribly surprised.
1384 - Edgeworth: On the contrary, the apology is for giving you hope by not noticing earlier the stupid thing you did!
1385 - Jordur: What?!
1386 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, what is the meaning of this?! I will not have you infuriating the witness! 
1387 - Judge: Have you forgotten that you could only present one piece of evidence?
1388 - Edgeworth: The meaning of “this” is rather simple. 
1389 - Edgeworth: This witness’s testimony is the biggest contradiction that I have ever seen as a lawyer!
1391 - Payne: The defense is bluffing, Your Honor!
1393 - Edgeworth: The prosecution is the one bluffing! 
1394 - Edgeworth: How can they accuse the defense of bluffing before I have even had the time to present my theory?
1395 - Judge: I agree with the defense. Objection overruled for now, Mr. Payne. 
1396 - Judge: Now, Mr. Edgeworth, please explain this “massive contradiction” to the court.
1397 - Judge: I see nothing wrong aboot this testimony.
1398 - Edgeworth: The witness said that she saw the witness trip as she was running.
1399 - Edgeworth: One glance at the crime report will tell you that this is nothing if not impossible!
1400 - Jordur: What?!
1401 - Edgeworth: First, let us consider what would have happened to Trucy had she have actually fallen. 
1402 - Edgeworth: If she “ran past you” as you said, then she would have been running on the sidewalk, correct?
1403 - Jordur: Yeah. So what?
1404 - Edgeworth: And yet according to this crime report, the defendant did not have a single injury! 
1405 - Edgeworth: How do you take a fall onto solid asphalt at a high speed, but not get so much as a skinned knee?
1406 - Jordur: Well…
1407 - Edgeworth: Contradiction number two. You said that the defendant was wearing her full magician’s attire.
1408 - Edgeworth: This includes her top hat, clearly.
1409 - Judge: Of course. The defendant is a magician, and a top hat is just one of a magician’s many tools.
1410 - Edgeworth: The history of top hats aside, what would happen if a person tripped while wearing one?
1411 - Judge: Why, the hat would either roll off or be horribly deformed from the impact!
1412 - Edgeworth: And yet, your testimony didn't mention the hat rolling. Neither is the hat deformed.
1413 - Jordur: She got another hat!
1414 - Phoenix: Actually, she only had one spare and it's in perfect condition.
1416 - Payne: We can’t trust the defendant’s father, of all people!
1417 - Edgeworth: Oh, I agree. That is why I propose that we have the police look for any additional hats. 
1418 - Payne: Urk…
1419 - Edgeworth: Now then, problem number three. 
1420 - Edgeworth: You mentioned in your first testimony that you “thought nothing” of the encounter...
1421 - Edgeworth: ...with Trucy until you had heard about the robbery, correct?
1422 - Jordur: I did. Your point?
1423 - Edgeworth: That is another contradiction.
1424 - Edgeworth: This scene is simply too bizarre for anybody to think nothing of it. 
1425 - Edgeworth: She trips, you get a good look at her, and you think absolutely nothing of the matter?
1426 - Jordur: Some people have much less compassion than others.
1427 - Edgeworth: And now for the last, and most decisive contradiction in this horrid mess of a testimony.
1428 - Judge: There’s more?!
1429 - Edgeworth: Correct, Your Honor. 
1430 - Edgeworth: As the crime scene report showed, witnesses saw that the robber was carrying a large sack of money...
1431 - Edgeworth: ...when she ran off, and you also said that you saw the sack of money, witness.
1432 - Edgeworth: Now, what would have happened to the sack if the robber had indeed tripped? Anybody care to answer?
1433 - Payne: Well… The sack would have fallen from her hands, fallen and then...
1434 - Payne: This is impossible!
1435 - Edgeworth: Oh, yes. If the witness account is true, the sack of money would be open under the streetlight!
1436 - Edgeworth: How did you not notice this, and why did not Trucy kill you for this?! It was you who said she had a gun!
1437 - Jordur: Ah!
1438 - Phoenix: Nice going, Edgeworth! I think we can turn this trial on its head yet!
1439 - Edgeworth: (We?! Yet?! How much longer does he plan for me to defend Trucy without a plan and also...)
1440 - Edgeworth: (...what has he done for the defence of his own daughter?!)
1442 - Payne: This is insane! You can’t draw four contradictions from just a single testimony!
1443 - Edgeworth: And yet I did, and that highlights one fact that is now indisputable.
1444 - Judge: What fact is that?!
1445 - Edgeworth: Isn't it obvious? The 
1446 - truth 
1447 - behind this testimony!
1449 - Edgeworth: There is one explanation for this massive contradiction. Specifically...
1450 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur saw absolutely nothing! 
1451 - Edgeworth: She never witnessed a person on her way out from the Wonder Bar that night!
1452 - Jordur: You’re insane!
1453 - Judge: I must agree with the witness. What grounds do you have to suggest that she saw nothing?
1454 - Edgeworth: It’s the only explanation that resolves these contradictions!
1455 - Edgeworth: It is simply not possible that she saw a person even vaguely similar to what she told us trip!
1456 - Edgeworth: The contradictions would remain.
1457 - Edgeworth: She would have no reason to lie about the tripping or the description of the robber...
1458 - Edgeworth: ...if she did witness it. The defense concludes that the witness just wants the limelight.
1459 - Edgeworth: That is all.
1460 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur saw somebody else.
1461 - Judge: But how does that explain the contradictions in the witness’s testimony?
1462 - Edgeworth: Isn’t it clear?
1463 - Judge: No. What mistake could she have made that would lead to all four of the contradictions you found?
1464 - Edgeworth: Um...
1465 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, you did not think this through at all!
1466 - Judge: Penalty!
1467 - Edgeworth: (How dare he insinuate that I failed to think through my response!)
1468 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur is telling the truth. That is the only explanation for this testimony.
1469 - Judge: How does that work?
1470 - Edgeworth: Well, I think that we can all agree that the witness is too good a person to commit perjury.
1471 - Edgeworth: By the looks of it, she has very good eyes, so she can’t be mistaken.
1472 - Edgeworth: The only option left is that the witness is telling the absolute truth.
1473 - Payne: The prosecution has no objections to the defense’s theory.
1474 - Judge: So… There’s nothing more to it?
1475 - Edgeworth: Not at all.
1476 - Judge: Do you remember what the point of this cross-examination was?
1477 - Edgeworth: The point was so that I could uncover new facts pointing away from the defendant and...
1478 - Edgeworth: Ah!
1479 - Judge: If that is your answer, then I am afraid that this cross-examination has been a complete waste of time.
1480 - Edgeworth: Wait, Your Honor! I merely spoke too soon! I know the truth now!
1481 - Judge: I don’t know how I feel about your time-wasting!
1482 - Judge: Penalty!
1484 - Edgeworth: (This testimony is a massive contradiction. The solution is simple, so don’t overthink this.)
1486 - Payne: Hee hee hee...
1487 - Payne: There's a 
1488 - contradiction 
1489 - in your explanation as well, rookie.
1490 - Edgeworth: !
1491 - Payne: Ms. Jordur came to the police before we had anything tying Trucy to the crime! Not even the prints!
1492 - Payne: Are you saying it's a coincidence that she and the evidence accused the same person, rookie? Are you?
1493 - Edgeworth: This is madness!
1494 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, it appears that your theory has been completely debunked!
1495 - Phoenix:  
1496 - Edgeworth: This is ridiculous! What the witness witnessed is impossible, but it's just as impossible if she didn't!
1497 - Edgeworth: And why is Payne becoming competent all of a sudden?
1498 - Phoenix: I used to live for these moments.
1499 - Phoenix: The impossible moments. When there seems to be no solution.  Every theory is an impossibility.
1500 - Phoenix: Except the one so zany, nobody's dared to think it, much less say it.
1501 - Edgeworth: Stop being cryptic and give me a hint! It's your daughter on the line!
1502 - Phoenix: Where's the fun in that?
1503 - Phoenix: Your Honor, the defense is prepared to explain this contradiction!
1504 - Edgeworth: (Wright, words fail to describe the loathing I have for you!)
1505 - Judge: Then let's hear it!
1508 - Judge: How do you explain the problems in the testimony and the fact that she knew Trucy was suspicious?
1509 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur is a psychic!
1510 - Judge: A psychic?!
1511 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
1512 - Edgeworth: (I do not like the sound of that...)
1513 - Payne: That is probably the most ridiculous thing that the defense has said all day.
1514 - Jordur: And believe me, the defense has said a lot of ridiculous things today.
1515 - Payne: Honestly, a psychic! She studies cooking, not the paranormal!
1516 - Payne: Can you even imagine a girl like her studying the para- normal or being a psychic?
1517 - Judge: I’m not sure how I feel aboot this.
1518 - Judge: No court has ever accepted a witness who got her testimony psychically. 
1519 - Judge: Well, except for DL-6, and I trust you know how that ended.
1520 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, this is different!
1521 - Judge: How?
1522 - Edgeworth: The defense attorney is better.
1523 - Judge: You are not “better” enough to avoid this penalty! 
1525 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur got lucky!
1526 - Judge: A coincidence?!
1527 - Payne: Hee hee hee...
1528 - Edgeworth: (I do not like the sound of that...)
1529 - Payne: That is probably the most ridiculous thing that the defense has said all day.
1530 - Jordur: And believe me, the defense has said a lot of ridiculous things today.
1531 - Payne: Honestly, luck! Which attorney has ever based a claim like this on luck?
1532 - Judge: You have to admit, the odds of that are pretty slim, Mr. Edgeworth.
1533 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the chances are much higher than you think!
1534 - Judge: Why is that?
1535 - Edgeworth: Because I do not guess. I know.
1536 - Judge: I know that you are getting a penalty, Mr. Edgeworth!
1538 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur was an accomplice!
1539 - Judge: An accomplice!
1540 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
1541 - Edgeworth: (I do not like the sound of this...)
1542 - Payne: That is probably the most ridiculous thing that the defense has said all day.
1543 - Jordur: And believe me, the defense has said a lot of ridiculous things today.
1544 - Payne: Honestly, an accomplice! Don’t you remember the security camera shot? 
1545 - Payne: There was only one robber! What would an accomplice be used for in this crime?
1546 - Jordur: And even if that was true, you just admitted that the defendant was the robber! 
1547 - Judge: Mr. Payne and Ms. Jordur are making quite a lot of sense.
1548 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the opposite is true. The prosecution is making no sense whatsoever.
1549 - Judge: What leads you to believe that?
1550 - Edgeworth: Because I can’t think of a better solution.
1551 - Judge: I certainly can.
1552 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth!
1554 - Edgeworth: The defense has one proposal.
1555 - Edgeworth: The reason why our witness knows about the crime despite not seeing the criminal's escape is...
1557 - Edgeworth: I’m looking like a fool out there!
1558 - Phoenix: You know better than anyone that I always looked like a fool.
1559 - Edgeworth: You're not helping!
1560 - Phoenix: Do what I always did. Forget the evidence. Go with intuition and jump to extremes.
1561 - Bluff, in other words.
1562 - Phoenix: Well, yeah.
1563 - Edgeworth: (Do I have any other option? There is one, now that I think about it. It may not work, but...)
1565 - Edgeworth: The witness is the robber!
1567 - Payne: Madness! Utter madness! You are making these claims without any basis!
1569 - Edgeworth: Without any basis? Is the witness's shoddy testimony not enough?
1570 - Edgeworth: There is no other explanation for it. She clearly witnessed nothing. Yet, she knows far too much.
1571 - Edgeworth: That Trucy was a suspect, for starters. The sack, the gun and that a mask was worn as well.
1572 - Edgeworth: If she didn't see it in third person, she did it in first person! There is no other explanation!
1573 - Payne: AAAAAUUUUUUUUGGHHH!
1574 - Jordur: Now you’ve gone past a moron to a raving lunatic, pinkie!
1575 - Jordur: You want to accuse me of the crime, but do you have even an ounce of proof?!
1576 - Jordur: Every single thing points to that magic-freak! The detectives told me! 
1577 - Jordur: You have her prints on that gun, which is enough for a conviction right there, and my testimony!
1578 - Jordur: You want to pass her up and accuse me on the basis of some silly mistake, do you?!
1579 - Jordur: Your theory has all the appeal of fruitcake!
1580 - Edgeworth: And that's the heart of the matter. What reason is there to suspect Trucy of any wrongdoing here?
1581 - Edgeworth: Only the gun and testimony. The fingerprints on the gun were not left during the actual crime.
1582 - Edgeworth: Your testimony is a poorly crafted lie, as you know far too much.
1583 - Edgeworth: Please, explain your basis for accusing the defendant, both witness and prosecution.
1587 - Judge: Order, order, order!
1588 - Judge: Mr. Payne, do you have anything to say on this development?
1589 - Payne: The defense is just confusing the issue with their wild theories. It’s madness. Utter madness…
1590 - Judge: Apparently not.
1591 - Judge: The defense's theory lacks proof, but this is more than can be said of the proseuction's theory.
1592 - Judge: A thirty minute recess will be held for both sides to get their cases together.
1594 - June 13, 11:52 AM District Courthouse Defendant Lobby No. 3
1596 - Edgeworth: This is insane! I just accused a woman of robbery with no basis besides a flawed testimony!
1597 - Edgeworth: It’s the sort of thing that you would do, Wright!
1598 - Phoenix: Should I take that as a compliment?
1599 - Edgeworth: Not at all!
1600 - Edgeworth: I know nothing of what really happened, besides that the witness saw nothing at all!
1601 - Phoenix: But do you believe what you said back there? That Jordur was the real robber?
1602 - Edgeworth: Yes, I believe it, but I can’t believe that I ever said it. 
1603 - Edgeworth: There is little that is as harmful as blurting out suspicions.
1604 - Edgeworth: I am not nearly prepared to truly and seriously accuse her.
1605 - Phoenix: I think you’re more prepared than you think. I didn’t have a smoking gun in any of my cases.
1606 - Edgeworth: That’s true, but…
1607 - Phoenix: ?
1608 - Edgeworth: I am nothing like you, Wright.
1609 - Edgeworth: I require evidence, facts and proof. All that you need is instinct.
1610 - Edgeworth: If somebody seems innocent, you jump to their side without hesitation.
1611 - Edgeworth: If somebody seems guilty, you accuse them as soon as you can be taken semi-seriously about it.
1612 - Edgeworth: Have you forgotten the Matt Engarde trial?
1613 - Phoenix: I made a mistake in accusing Andrews, but I thought she really was the killer.
1614 - Phoenix: As we both know, I was wrong, but it also would have been wrong to give up on the case at that point.
1615 - Phoenix: Get over your pride, Edgeworth. This isn't about being perfect.
1616 - Phoenix: It's about defending your client and finding the real criminal. Nothing else matters.
1617 - Edgeworth: (But to accuse the "criminal" with evidence no better than what they used against your client?)
1619 - Edgeworth: Anyways, where did Trucy go?
1620 - Phoenix: What do you mean?
1621 - Edgeworth: Have you not noticed that your daughter isn’t here?!
1622 - Phoenix: I guess you’re right.
1623 - Edgeworth: (I pity Trucy even more now.)
1624 - Bailiff: Excuse me, Mr. Edgeworth?
1625 - Edgeworth: Yes?
1626 - Bailiff: The defendant, Trucy, has returned from her visit.
1627 - Edgeworth: What do you mean, returned?! Why was I not informed that she had left in the first place?!
1628 - Bailiff: I told your co-counsel to tell you about it as soon as the recess began.
1629 - Edgeworth: ...
1630 - Phoenix: Oh, yeah. I remember something like that.
1631 - Edgeworth: (If I wasn’t a friend of yours, I would be calling social services by this point.)
1632 - Trucy: Hi, Daddy!
1633 - Phoenix: Oh, hi Trucy. Uh… Where did you go again?
1634 - Trucy: You forgot already? You must be getting old.
1635 - Phoenix: Indulge your father.
1636 - Trucy: Well, that witness, Dee. Something seemed off during her testimony.
1637 - Edgeworth: Off?
1638 - Trucy: Yeah… Something she said sounded 
1639 - wrong 
1640 - to me.
1641 - Edgeworth: What aroused your suspicions?
1642 - Trucy: I think it would be easier for me to show you.
1643 - Edgeworth: What's this?
1644 - Trucy: It’s a schedule of who performs when at the Wonder Bar.
1645 - Edgeworth: How did you get a hold of that?
1646 - Trucy: I just asked the bailiff to take me to the Wonder Bar. They have brochures about this there.
1647 - Edgeworth: And the bailiff just let you go to the Wonder Bar?
1648 - Trucy: Well, I was escorted.
1649 - Edgeworth: But they actually let you go?!
1650 - Trucy: Daddy…
1651 - Phoenix: Don’t worry, Trucy.
1652 - Phoenix: Mr. Edgeworth just gets mad easy. Sort of like that witness.
1653 - Trucy: Oh, Dee. Yeah, she’s always like that. I should know. 
1654 - Trucy: She performs right after me on some nights. 
1655 - Trucy: How she manages to keep her job is one of the best magic tricks that I have ever seen!
1656 - Trucy: She’s so professional while being completely unprofessional! Sort of like you, Mr. Edgeworth!
1657 - Trucy: You’re almost as great of a defense attorney as Daddy, even though you’re a prosecutor.
1658 - Edgeworth: (Why are these two so insistent on comparing me to that volatile witness?)
1659 - Edgeworth: (In any event, I had better note this brochure. I think I can see what had Trucy alarmed now.)
1660 - Schedule added to the Court Record.
1662 - Edgeworth: In any case, Trucy, you never answered the original question.
1663 - Edgeworth: How did you convince the bailiffs to let you go to the Wonder Bar, even if you had escorts?
1664 - Trucy: Oh, that was easy! I just showed them a magic trick.
1665 - Edgeworth: A magic trick?
1666 - Trucy: Yep.
1667 - Edgeworth: You managed to talk the bailiffs out of doing their duty… with a magic trick.
1668 - Edgeworth: (I can’t believe that I found a person who does their job even worse than Detective Gumshoe.)
1669 - Trucy: Do you want to see the trick?
1670 - Edgeworth: Not particularly, thank you.
1671 - Trucy: Don’t be so stuffy and boring, Mr. Edgeworth!
1672 - Edgeworth: Anyways… I think it is time that we reviewed all of the evidence.
1673 - Edgeworth: Contrary to what you think, Wright, I won't to stand a chance without a coherent theory.
1674 - Edgeworth: Even if the prosecutor has the skill level of a janitor.
1675 - Bailiff: It is time to come back into court, Mr. Edgeworth.
1676 - Phoenix: Ha ha.
1677 - Phoenix: Can't always get lucky, Edgeworth.
1678 - Edgeworth: (I don’t want lucky. All I want is truth and normalcy.)
1679 - June 13, 12:22 PM District Courthouse Defendant Lobby No. 3
1682 - Judge: Court is back in session for the trial of Trucy Wright. 
1683 - Judge: When we left, the witness had testified that she saw the defendant trip and fall...
1684 - Judge: ...which was why she was so confident in her testimony.
1685 - Judge: The defense proved this to be false and proceeded to accuse the witness of the crime. 
1686 - Judge: Although the defense had no proof, it did explain how certain parts of the witness testimony...
1687 - Judge: ...were astonishingly accurate, while other parts were imposible.
1688 - Judge: Now, do the prosecution or defense have anything to add?
1689 - Payne: The defense is bluffing in order to draw attention away from the fact that the defendant did it. 
1690 - Payne: She held the teller at gunpoint in order to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars.
1691 - Judge: And you, Mr. Edgeworth?
1692 - Edgeworth: The defense has no further comment, Your Honor.
1695 - Judge:  
1696 - Edgeworth:  
1699 - Payne: The prosecution has found a contradiction in our own evidence, Your Honor!
1703 - Judge: As bizarre as this is, there will be order!
1704 - Phoenix: I’ve seen defense attorneys cross- examining their own clients a few times, but this is something new.
1705 - Edgeworth: Especially for a prosecutor like Payne.
1706 - Judge: Mr. Payne, what is the meaning of this?!
1707 - Judge: It is the job of the defense, not the prosecution, to find contradictions!
1708 - Payne: Oh no, this contradiction isn't in my case.
1709 - Judge: Well, everything makes sense again, eh?
1710 - Payne: But don’t you want to hear about my contradiction?!
1711 - Judge: Very well, Mr. Payne.
1712 - Payne: This mask was presented earlier in the trial.
1713 - Payne: It was found just outside of the bank and was worn by the robber.
1714 - Judge: That is all correct.
1715 - Edgeworth: (Where could he be going with this…?)
1716 - Payne: The prosecution performed some additional analysis of the mask.
1717 - Edgeworth: You mean that the prosecution ordered the police to do the tests.
1718 - Payne: Amateur.
1719 - Payne: Real prosecutors examine the evidence themselves!
1720 - Judge: So, what did your tests find?
1721 - Payne: New, case-breaking evidence! []
1722 - There are brown hairs in the mask!
1723 - Judge:  
1724 - Jordur:  
1725 - Phoenix:  
1726 - Edgeworth: That’s all?
1727 - Edgeworth: The defense knew that from the moment the mask was presented. 
1728 - Edgeworth: I assumed you all knew about it, but it had not yet become relevant.
1729 - Payne: Somebody like you, still in their novitiate years, can’t appreciate evidence like this.
1730 - Edgeworth: (Going alone with this may be the least painful way to proceed.) 
1731 - Edgeworth: Please, enlighten a blundering and perplexed defense attorney as to the meaning of this evidence.
1732 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
1733 - Payne: You don’t know what you’re asking for, boy.
1734 - Edgeworth: Of course not. This is my first time in court.
1735 - Judge: But Mr. Edgeworth, I thought-
1736 - Payne: Can this wait until after I present the contradiction?
1737 - Judge: Very well.
1738 - Payne: Now then, the hairs in this mask are brown.
1739 - Edgeworth: Yes, I believe that part is fairly self-explanatory.
1740 - Payne: Well, this destroys the defense’s theory entirely.
1741 - Edgeworth: I’m not quite see-
1742 - Edgeworth: Nooooooooo!
1743 - Jordur: What’s so spectacular about those hairs?!
1744 - Payne: There's no need to shout.
1745 - Payne: Anyways...
1746 - Payne: How does a robber with 
1747 - red 
1748 - hair leave 
1749 - brown 
1750 - hairs in her mask?
1751 - Payne: Only a person with 
1752 - brown 
1753 - hair, like the defendant, could have left them!
1754 - Edgeworth: (How did this man become so intelligent all of a sudden?!)
1755 - Judge: The prosecution raises a valid point, and it does not seem like the defense has an answer for it.
1756 - Edgeworth: (In one move, Payne destroyed every bit of momentum that I had!)
1757 - Edgeworth: (I didn’t think that he was even capable!)
1758 - Payne: To further prove it, the prosecution will submit the hairs for DNA testing.
1759 - Judge: Although I am appreciative of this new evidence, I have to ask. 
1760 - Judge: How did something like this go undiscovered for so long?
1761 - Payne: The obligation of checking the evidence rests with the detective.
1762 - Payne: The detective in charge of this case is… []not the best. 
1763 - Judge: Was it that scruffy man who testified earlier?
1764 - Payne: Yes, Your Honor.
1765 - Edgeworth: The defense can confirm his incompetency as a detective.
1766 - Edgeworth: It is possible that he has missed something as obvious as the hairs.
1767 - Judge: In light of this realization, I am much more inclined to believe...
1768 - Judge: ...the witness’s testimony over the wild theories of the defense, in spite of the contradiction, so-
1770 - Jordur: Windbag, can you shut up so I can talk, finally?! You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting.
1771 - Judge: Well-
1772 - Jordur: Good. Pinkie over there is off of his rocker.
1773 - Jordur: For all his fancy talk about contradictions, it’s just prattle.
1774 - Jordur: Give me one more chance and I can get everything right back on track.
1775 - Judge: You’re not saying-
1776 - Jordur: That’s right.
1777 - Jordur: I can explain your precious little contradiction in full.
1778 - Edgeworth: Nonsense!
1782 - Judge: Ms. Jordur… Are you serious?!
1783 - Jordur: No, I’m not. Next, I want to testify about how to make a proper bowl of pasta!
1784 - Judge: Ms. Jordur…
1785 - Jordur: A stupid question deserves an equally stupid answer! Of course I’m serious.
1786 - Payne: Why did you not tell me about this?!
1787 - Jordur: Because you’d probably screw it up.
1788 - Jordur: Let’s face it. You haven’t been doing the best of jobs with this trial.
1790 - Payne: The prosecution’s witness will refrain from insulting the prosecution!
1792 - Edgeworth: This is not without precedent.
1793 - Judge: Hmm…
1794 - Jordur: Don’t forget. Mess with me too much and I’m leaving, subpoena or no subpoena.
1795 - Edgeworth: (I hope she realizes that we can arrest her then.)
1796 - Judge: Very well. No action will be taken against the witness at this time.
1797 - Judge: Now, would you like to testi-
1798 - Jordur: ...
1799 - Judge: I mean, the witness may begin her testimony.
1801 - Phoenix: Careful. I have a bad feeling.

1807 - Special sprite: he might not have tripped. I never saw the actual falling. 
1808 - Jordur: S
1809 - Special sprite: he coulda been exhausted from the running and needed to catch her breath. 
1810 - Jordur: S
1811 - Special sprite: he didn't have the strength to stand, so she was on all fours.
1812 - Jordur: T
1813 - Special sprite: hat explains it all quite nicely, am I right?
1814 - Judge: Well. That was short.
1815 - Jordur: Nothing else needed to be said.
1816 - Jordur: I just misjudged the situation. She didn’t trip. She just needed to catch her breath for a bit.
1817 - Jordur: Odd pose, but she always was an odd girl.
1818 - Payne: It’s clear at this point that the defendant is guilty. 
1819 - Payne: Not only is there new evidence shattering the defense’s theory, but it incriminates the defendant. 
1820 - Payne: The only reason for doubt in this case that has been left standing was weak to begin with.
1821 - Payne: Even that has been crushed!
1822 - Payne: The prosecution feels that a further cross-examination would be a waste of the court’s time.
1823 - Judge: I assume that the defense would like to cross-examine this piece of testimony?
1824 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor.
1825 - Jordur: You dare to waste my time?!
1826 - Judge: Hmm…
1827 - Edgeworth: This testimony would have been given much earlier if it was true.
1828 - Edgeworth: It is astonishing that such testimony is even permissible.
1829 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, I will allow this cross-examination, but on one condition.
1830 - Judge: If you cannot cast enough doubt, then I will declare my verdict. Do I make myself clear?
1831 - Edgeworth: Perfectly, Your Honor.
1832 - Judge: The defense may begin the cross- examination.
1833 - Edgeworth: (This witness has been able to weasel her way out of every contradiction in her testimony.)
1834 - Edgeworth: (The only way to win this case is to break her story!)

1841 - Jordur: She might not have tripped. I never saw the actual falling. 
1842 - Jordur: She coulda been exhausted from the running and needed to catch her breath. 
1843 - Jordur: She didn't have the strength to stand, so she was on all fours.
1844 - Jordur: That explains it all quite nicely, am I right?
1846 - Phoenix: Well, this is a nice and short cross- examination.
1847 - Edgeworth: I’m not concerned with its length nearly as much as I am with finding a contradiction.
1848 - Phoenix: True, you are in a bit of trouble.
1849 - Edgeworth: Could you at least act concerned?
1850 - Phoenix: Only if you buy me some grape juice later.
1851 - Edgeworth: ... [] Fine.
1852 - Phoenix: In a short testimony like this, I’d first look for any obvious contradictions or problems.
1853 - Phoenix: If nothing appears, then it might be a good idea to keep the pressure on the witness until she slips up.
1854 - Edgeworth: (That’s not a bad idea…)
1855 - Phoenix: Oh, and make sure it’s at least 80% real juice. I can’t stand the other stuff.
1859 - Edgeworth: If you never saw her tripping, then why did you testify that you did?
1860 - Jordur: Oh, forgive me for making an assumption! 
1861 - Jordur: I could hear her running, then I looked behind me.
1862 - Jordur: She was on the ground and there were definitely some noises coming from her.
1863 - Jordur: Don't tell me that you never made a mistake and got lucky!
1864 - Edgeworth: (Sadly, that is how Wright won most of his cases.)
1865 - Edgeworth: Very well then. If the defendant never tripped, then what did happen, witness?
1869 - Edgeworth: Coulda?
1870 - Jordur: Oh, come on! You really have a problem with my grammar? Really?
1871 - Jordur: If you’re going to be such a prick about that, pinkie, then fine.
1872 - Jordur: She could have been exhausted. Are you happy now that I’ve corrected myself?
1873 - Edgeworth: That was not what I was going to ask.
1874 - Jordur: Just keep telling yourself that.
1875 - Edgeworth: (There really is no polite discourse with this woman.) 
1876 - Edgeworth: Why are you uncertain as to whether she was out of breath?
1877 - Jordur: What are you expecting from me?! A perfect testimony? 
1878 - Jordur: Look, I didn’t see the actual fall. I don’t know if she tripped, caught her breath or what. 
1879 - Jordur: If I did, I never would have made that mistake in the first place. 
1880 - Jordur: All I know is that she was on the ground, under the streetlight. 
1881 - Jordur: Now, can you just quit already? I really need to get to rehearsal.
1882 - Edgeworth: I am not done here. Continue with the testimony!
1886 - Edgeworth: All fours?
1887 - Jordur: Are you so clueless that I need to explain this to you?
1888 - Jordur: Her knees and elbows were on the ground.
1889 - Jordur: At the time, I thought she had tripped, but she must have simply caught her breath.
1890 - Jordur: Regardless of why Trucy was on the ground, that was what I saw, and I saw it good. 
1891 - Jordur: She was on the ground for a good minute. I can’t make up that sort of detail.
1892 - Edgeworth: (I wouldn’t be so sure.)
1896 - Edgeworth: That isn’t exactly how I would have put it.
1897 - Jordur: Do you really want to waste the court’s time arguing over how I worded things? 
1898 - Jordur: My explanation resolves the contradictions and creates no new problems.
1899 - Jordur: Am I right, or am I right?
1900 - Edgeworth: (She’s being much too hasty in her conclusion. Regardless, does this explanation work or is it flawed?)
1901 - Edgeworth: (I hate to say it, but I can’t risk slipping up at this point. My position is too perilous to risk a bluff.) 
1902 - Edgeworth: You’re right. I can see no flaw in your explanation yet.
1903 - Payne: Then just give it up, rookie. 
1904 - Payne: The sooner you accept that your client was the one who did it, the better.
1905 - Edgeworth: The defense has no intention of making a plea deal yet. 
1906 - Edgeworth: We only ask for a bit more time to examine this testimony.
1907 - Judge: Very well, Mr. Edgeworth, but the sooner, the better!
1908 - Judge: The defense’s case is only hanging by a thread at this point.
1909 - Edgeworth: (That’s fine with me. All I need is one contradiction, and the way to the truth will be made clear.)
1910 - Edgeworth: I regret to inform you of this, Ms. Jordur, but the defense is of the following opinion:
1911 - Edgeworth: Your testimony is as perfect as the fruitcake which you mentioned earlier in the trial!
1912 - Judge: I remember the last time that I ate fruitcake. It got all in my glorious playoff beard. 
1913 - Judge: Therefore, comparing the witness's testimony to fruitcake is a serious offense indeed, eh?
1914 - Edgeworth: A serious offense? I never say anything unless I am being entirely serious.
1915 - Judge: Very well then.
1916 - Judge: What is your "serious" problem with the witness's testimony?
1918 - Edgeworth: Simply, the testimony of the witness contradicts this.
1919 - Edgeworth: The testimony presented by the witness contradicts the evidence.
1920 - Payne: That’s impossible! The defense is bluffing!
1921 - Jordur: It wouldn’t exactly be a first.
1922 - Judge: I’m not sure how I feel about the defense’s claim.
1923 - Edgeworth: (It may be quicker just to point out the problem myself.)
1924 - Edgeworth: The testimony contradicts this piece of evidence.
1926 - Edgeworth: The contradiction is now evinced.
1927 - Judge: What contradiction?
1928 - Edgeworth: Is it not obvious? [] The contradiction in the witness’s testimony.
1929 - Jordur: We all know that you’re the real contradiction around here.
1930 - Judge: Quite right.
1931 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth!
1932 - Edgeworth: (Perhaps I should have thought that one through a bit more.)
1933 - Judge: Moving on...
1934 - Edgeworth: The contradiction is with the very first testimony.
1935 - Judge: Wasn't that from the detective who overlooked the mask's hairs?
1936 - Edgeworth: Correct, Your Honor.
1937 - Judge: Now, how do the testimonies contradict each other? I see no problem.
1938 - Edgeworth: The parts of the testimonies that contradict are... Um...
1939 - Payne: The defense is obviously bluffing.
1940 - Judge: I was hoping I would not have to do this, but penalty, Edgeworth. 
1941 - Judge: Do not propose theories if you don’t even know what they are.
1942 - Edgeworth: (How could I have been so careless?)
1943 - Judge: Now, witness, please continue the testimony.
1944 - Edgeworth: The contradiction is with testimony number two.
1945 - Judge: The testimonies are contradictory?!
1946 - Edgeworth: Correct. The testimonies do not agree.
1947 - Judge: Although that would be a very serious error, which parts of the testimony contradict each other?
1948 - Edgeworth: Well, it’s clearly... [] Well...
1949 - Judge: You clearly have no idea!
1950 - Judge: Penalty!
1951 - Edgeworth: (I need to focus. I cannot afford any more errors.)
1952 - Judge: Continue.
1954 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the contradiction is in Ms. Jordur's prior testimonies.
1955 - Judge: Her prior testimonies?
1956 - Edgeworth: Don't you remember them?
1957 - Judge: Vaguely.
1958 - Judge: She was leaving the Wonder Bar, and saw the defendant, looking suspiciously like a bank robber.
1959 - Judge: The defendant tripped, Jordur tried to talk, but the defendant just runs past her. [] Very shady.
1960 - Judge: So, where is the contradiction?
1961 - Edgeworth: You forgot about when Dee Jordur confessed to the crime.
1962 - Jordur: I never did that!
1963 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth! Do not make up testimonies!
1964 - Edgeworth: (What a foolish mistake!)
1969 - Edgeworth: (This witness is one of the most bizarre witnesses that I have ever encountered.)
1970 - Edgeworth: (She barely bats an eye about intimidating the judge and prosecution with her temper.) 
1971 - Edgeworth: (Only a handful of other witnesses would be able to offer a series of testimonies remotely like that.)
1972 - Edgeworth: (She "remembers" new details whenever a contradiction appears, and they are accepted as truth.)
1973 - Edgeworth: (This is where the game ends.)
1974 - Judge: Is the defense all right?
1975 - Edgeworth: The defense has never been better.
1976 - Edgeworth: Before presenting the contradiction, I need to confirm some facts.
1977 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur, you made an interesting statement earlier. You said that:
1979 - Jordur: Regardless of why Trucy was on the ground, that was what I saw, and I saw it good. 
1980 - Jordur: She was on the ground for a good minute. I can’t make up that sort of detail.
1982 - Edgeworth: Do you stand by this?
1983 - Jordur: You really are a glutton for punishment, aren’t you, pinkie? 
1984 - Jordur: No, I thought it was a good idea to-
1985 - Edgeworth: Either give this court a serious answer or I will move for the judge to hold you in contempt.
1986 - Jordur: You wouldn’t.
1987 - Edgeworth: Why ever not?
1988 - Edgeworth: A defense attorney would want to get the prosecution’s star witness removed from court.
1989 - Jordur: Fine.
1990 - Jordur: Yes, I said that. So what?
1991 - Edgeworth: I ask the court to remember Ms. Jordur’s first testimony.
1993 - Jordur: I ask what she’s doing, since she wasn't scheduled at the bar, but she just runs past me.
1995 - Judge: I remember her saying that...
1996 - Jordur: Yeah, yeah, I said it. Get to the point before I die of boredom, already.
1997 - Jordur: Oh wait, you’d probably like that.
1998 - Edgeworth: Now I direct you to her second testimony.
1999 - Jordur: Hey, stop ignoring me!
2000 - Edgeworth: During this testimony, she said:
2002 - Jordur: Before you say anything, she tripped, so I had plenty of time to look. 
2004 - Edgeworth: You did say that, yes?
2005 - Jordur: Oh, now you respond to me.
2006 - Jordur: Yes, I said them. But what's the point?!
2007 - Jordur: Seriously, get to the end already! I should have been at my rehearsal ages ago, you inconsiderate jerk!
2008 - Edgeworth: My point is simple logic.
2009 - Edgeworth: The times do not add up. 
2010 - Edgeworth: When you see the person fall, you ask what she is doing. 
2011 - Edgeworth: Shortly after you ask this, she just gets up and runs away.
2012 - Edgeworth: That is what we are led to believe from your previous testimonies.
2013 - Judge: Wait a minute! 
2014 - Judge: The witness just said that there the person she saw was on the ground for at least a minute!
2015 - Edgeworth: And that is precisely my point.
2016 - Edgeworth: Witness, your testimony is a hopeless contradiction, and no new facts can change this! 
2017 - Edgeworth: The timeline of what you claim to have seen is self-defeating, leaving me only one conclusion. 
2018 - Edgeworth: Your entire testimony is a lie, coated with information that only the real robber could have known! 
2019 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur, you were the robber!
2020 - Jordur: ...
2021 - Jordur: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
2025 - Judge: Witness…
2026 - Judge: What is the meaning of this?! The defense has a great point, and I see no way around it.
2027 - Judge: You weren't a witness, but you know too much to be a bystander. You had to have been the robber!
2028 - Edgeworth: (Better late than never.)
2030 - Jordur: Huh? Sorry, but I’m a bit confused right now.
2031 - Judge: Witness…?
2032 - Edgeworth: Are
2033 - Payne: You
2034 - Judge: Mad?
2035 - Judge: In all seriousness, you appear to have calmed down quite a lot.
2037 - Jordur: Yeah, I have! I found my happy place! It was under my hat, all this time!
2039 - Edgeworth: Phoenix…[] 
2040 - Edgeworth: What just happened?! Our raging chef turned into a ditz!
2041 - Edgeworth: I’ve seen transformations on the witness stand, but this is something new!
2042 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, everything we know about “normal” is out the window with this witness. 
2043 - Phoenix: There’s no other way to put it.
2044 - Edgeworth: Not just normal, but sane!
2045 - Special sprite:  
2046 - Edgeworth: The witness is not mentally capable of testifying to this court!
2048 - Jordur: Just trust me, Mr. Judge!
2050 - Payne: The prosecution demands that you listen to the witness! I'm sure the witness has a good explanation!
2051 - Judge: I will give her a chance.
2052 - Judge: Witness, what happened?
2053 - Jordur: I just found my happy place! I'm all better now, Mr. Judge!
2054 - Judge: Well, she seems genuine. It can't hurt to continue the testimony.
2055 - Payne: Um…[]
2056 - Payne: Witness?
2057 - Jordur: Yes?
2058 - Payne: Could you explain to the court why you were so confused?
2059 - Jordur: What had me confused… 
2060 - Jordur: Oh, yeah! Mr. Lawyer, you said that I was the one who did that terrible thing.
2061 - Edgeworth: If by “terrible thing”, you mean robbery and perjury, then yes.
2062 - Jordur: Perjury?
2063 - Judge: It means lying in court.
2064 - Jordur: Oh, fibbing. That doesn’t sound very nice.
2065 - Jordur: Where was I?
2066 - Jordur: Oh, yeah! I just don’t understand how I could have done that bad thing. 
2067 - Jordur: Mr. Judge, can I ask Mr. Lawyer about his argument? You would be as sweet as a lollipop if you let me!
2068 - Judge: This is unorthodox, but very well.
2070 - Judge: The witness may testify about problems with Mr. Edgeworth’s arguments.

2090 - Edgeworth: Agh!
2091 - Payne: Hee hee hee… The witness is right.
2092 - Payne: The witness testimony might not make any sense, but there is no evidence that the witness did it!
2093 - Payne: Your theory makes just as much sense!
2094 - Edgeworth: (How can that man still think that he’s winning?! He really should be a janitor!)
2095 - Judge: While I’m not sure if I like the prosecution’s confidence, these are major problems.
2096 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, I will have to ask that you sort this out.
2097 - Jordur: Thank you so much for letting me speak, Mr. Judge! You really are sweeter than sugar!
2098 - Judge: Sugar gets in my glorious playoff beard far too easily.

2114 - Jordur: Mr. Lawyer, your idea is half-baked. I know an oven you can use to finish it!

2119 - Phoenix: Although…
2120 - Phoenix: You might be able to press her on some of the statements for a laugh.
2121 - Edgeworth: It is considered rude to laugh at the expense of the mentally ill in today’s society.
2125 - Edgeworth: Oh, and why is that?
2126 - Jordur: I’m a girl, silly!
2127 - Edgeworth: ...
2128 - Edgeworth: Any other reasons?

2130 - Jordur: I’ve been good lately! Santa is going to give me presents this Christmas!
2131 - Edgeworth: (I think I preferred her when every other sentence was an insult!)
2135 - Edgeworth: Because of the mask?
2136 - Jordur: Um, yeah... What was it you said, Mr. Prosecutor?
2137 - Payne: You all remember the mask which the robber wore and then threw into the road, correct?
2138 - Edgeworth: Correct.
2139 - Payne: Some brown hairs were found inside, left by the robber. 
2140 - Payne: That shows that the criminal has brown hair, like the defendant, and not red hair.
2141 - Payne: Hee hee hee...
2142 - Judge: Something amusing, Mr. Payne?
2143 - Payne: I’m just envisioning the guilty verdict now.
2144 - Edgeworth: (Don’t count your victories before they happen.)
2148 - Edgeworth: You were at the Wonder Bar?
2149 - Jordur: Yeah! I play my keyboard there a lot. 
2150 - Jordur: I was playing there on the night of the robbery, so I don’t see how I could have been at the bank.
2151 - Edgeworth: (She has a point. If this alibi holds up, then she can’t be the true criminal.)
2152 - Edgeworth: Continue, witness.
2156 - Edgeworth: Regarding this statement...
2157 - Jordur: Ahhhhhh!
2158 - Edgeworth: What is it?!
2159 - Jordur: I just realized a way that I could have been the robber!
2160 - Payne: What?!
2161 - Jordur: There’s one way this could have happened… 
2162 - Jordur: A magician took control of my body, made me rob the bank and wiped my memory afterwards!
2163 - Jordur: It’s the perfect crime!
2164 - Jordur: And isn’t Trucy a magician?
2165 - Judge: …
2166 - Edgeworth: Just continue the testimony.
2171 - Edgeworth: By “that metal thingy”, you are referring to the gun, yes?
2172 - Jordur: I don’t like that word, but yes…
2173 - Edgeworth: You will have to get used to using words that you don’t like.
2174 - Jordur: Do I have to?
2175 - Edgeworth: Yes…
2176 - Jordur: OK, I will on one condition. You tell me how Trucy’s fingerprints got on the gun! 
2177 - Jordur: Yay! I said it!
2178 - Edgeworth: (It would be helpful if I could explain the gun, but I’m not sure if I have the evidence quite yet.)
2182 - Edgeworth: You mean evidence, right?
2183 - Jordur: Oh, is that the word?
2184 - Edgeworth: Yes, it is.
2185 - Edgeworth: Now, how am I at all lacking in evidence? I think that your tragedy of a testimony is evidence enough.
2186 - Jordur: I dunno.
2187 - Jordur: I can’t remember what you’re talking about, but I don't think lies are proof of a robbery.
2188 - Edgeworth: Even if that lie contained information they shouldn’t have ever known?
2189 - Jordur: Luck is a funny thing, you know.
2190 - Payne: The witness is quite right. She may have lied, but that isn’t proof of anything!
2191 - Edgeworth: (She’s passing this off as luck? It makes about as much sense as the rest of this testimony.)
2195 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur, you cannot use an oven to finish an idea!
2196 - Jordur: Well, why not?
2198 - Payne: This cross-examination is straying from the original purpose!
2199 - Judge: I must agree with the prosecution. I see no point in this statement.
2200 - Edgeworth: (Is there any point in this testimony?)
2207 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur, are you familiar with the Children’s Crusade of 1212?
2208 - Jordur: What’s that? It sounds fun!
2210 - Payne: The defense is obviously stalling, Your Honor. This has nothing to do with the testimony.
2212 - Edgeworth: If Your Honor would allow me to finish, the relevance will soon become apparent!
2213 - Judge: Objection overruled, Mr. Payne. I want to know what the defense is talking aboot.
2214 - Edgeworth: In 1212, two groups of thousands of Christian youths attempted to claim the city of Jerusalem from Muslims.
2215 - Edgeworth: The first group was enslaved, while most of the second group died before they got as far as Italy.
2216 - Edgeworth: The lesson here is that no matter how much of a child you try to act, Ms. Jordur...
2218 - Edgeworth: ...there is no escaping the gravity of the situation you have put yourself in!
2219 - Jordur: Huh?
2220 - Edgeworth: You stated that on the night of the crime, you had a performance at the Wonder Bar, true?
2221 - Edgeworth: I happen to have the entertainment schedule for the Wonder Bar right here.
2222 - Edgeworth: We know that the crime happened on Thursday.
2223 - Judge: The crime report shows us that easily enough. 
2224 - Edgeworth: Why is it then, that there is no performance by Dee Jordur listed for Thursday?
2225 - Jordur: Well, uh, you see… The flying spaghetti monster replaced the schedules!
2226 - Payne: Witness, try to leave the arguing to the prosecution.
2227 - Jordur: OK!
2228 - Edgeworth: Can I expect an answer from you, Mr. Payne, or should I answer for you?
2229 - Payne: Well, um, it’s possible that…
2230 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur has no alibi whatsoever!
2231 - Edgeworth: She most certainly was not performing at the Wonder Bar during the crime!
2232 - Payne: You can't be serious!
2233 - Payne: Well… You see this mark here? 
2234 - TWME?
2235 - That could have been her.
2237 - Edgeworth: Even if it was, TWME performed much earlier that day!
2238 - Jordur: And I’m not TWME, I’m afraid.
2239 - Jordur: TWME is short for “Trucy Wright: Magician Extraordinaire.”
2240 - Jordur: She really is good! There’s got to be a trick to how she pulls all that stuff out of there!
2241 - Phoenix: Don't ask about "there", Edgeworth.
2242 - Edgeworth: (You didn't need to tell me.)
2243 - Jordur: She pulls a tire and a broom out of there!
2244 - Jordur: The prop looks perfectly normal, but it can’t be! If it is, it contradicts, uh, physics!
2246 - Edgeworth: (Wait…) 
2247 - Edgeworth: TWME stands for "Trucy Wright: Magician Extraordinaire"?[] You are absolutely sure of this?
2248 - Jordur: Yes.
2249 - Edgeworth: ...
2250 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, are you quite alright?
2251 - Edgeworth: (Th-This is impossible! 
2252 - Edgeworth: Wright, why did you not tell me about this?! This has changed the entire case!)
2253 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth!
2254 - Edgeworth: I apologize, Your Honor. The defense has had an epiphany. 
2255 - Edgeworth: There is a person who has been driving this court in circles due to their own incompetence.
2257 - Payne: The defense is bluffing!
2258 - Edgeworth: Mr. Payne, could you please find something else to object to?
2259 - Edgeworth: Most of your objections have been to alleged bluffs which were nothing of the sort.
2260 - Edgeworth: Only very rarely have you been able to counter the defense’s theories with evidence.
2261 - Payne: That may be, but you really shouldn’t continue any further!
2262 - Payne: You really shouldn't!
2263 - Judge: The prosecution has a point.
2264 - Edgeworth: He does?
2265 - Payne: Yes, I do! Give it up while you still can!
2266 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, you are accusing somebody of misleading the court through incompetence, right?
2267 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor.
2268 - Judge: In that case… 
2270 - Judge: The defense’s motion for a
2271 - Hoser Inquisition 
2272 - is accepted!
2273 - Payne: You will regret putting us all through this!
2275 - Edgeworth: Do you have any idea what is going on?
2276 - Phoenix: Not really. Usually, this judge tries to keep things normal. 
2277 - Phoenix: I think the thought of hunting for “hosers” has him excited.
2278 - Judge: In accordance with the Book of Hoser, I will now read the procedures for accusing a hoser.
2279 - Judge: "Once a motion for a Hoser Inquisition is permitted by the Judge, the accusing party...
2280 - Judge: ...shall first name the hoser and then shall present a single piece of evidence which...
2281 - Judge: ...goes to show that the accused is indeed a hoser.
2282 - Judge: Should the Judge agree with the accusation, the accused shall immediately be held in contempt.
2283 - Judge: Should the Judge disagree, the accuser shall immediately be held in contempt of court."
2284 - Judge: Thus says the Book! 
2285 - Edgeworth: (The judge must be out of his mind if he is going to hold me in contempt for this.)
2287 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please identify the hoser at this time!
2307 - Judge: Now, please present the evidence that this person is a hoser!
2310 - Edgeworth: The hoser...[] is me. I'm a sham.
2311 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2312 - Edgeworth: There’s no point in hiding it any longer, Wright. I can’t do this.
2313 - Edgeworth: I, Miles Edgeworth, am no defense attoney. I am a prosecutor.
2314 - Judge: What?!
2315 - Payne: What?!
2316 - Edgeworth: (Why is Payne so surprised? I told him that I wasn’t really a defense attorney.)
2317 - Judge: This is…[] insane! 
2318 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, I am going to have to hold you in contempt of court.
2319 - Edgeworth: The hoser…[] is the co-counsel!
2320 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2321 - Edgeworth: Just look at him! He’s a hobo.
2322 - Judge: Hmm…
2323 - Judge: Some of my best friends are hobos, Mr. Edgeworth.
2324 - Judge: For your prejudice against the homeless, I am going to have to hold you in contempt of court.
2325 - Edgeworth: The hoser...[] is the defendant. She did it!
2326 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2327 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
2328 - Payne: The defense finally admits its guilt. Too bad for you, it’s far too late for a plea deal, Mr. Edgeworth.
2329 - Judge: As much as I want to put away a hoser, it would be pointless if the defense is surrendering.
2330 - Edgeworth: The hoser…[] is Franziska von Karma!
2331 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2332 - Judge: What does she have to do with this case?
2333 - Edgeworth: Nothing at all, Your Honor!
2334 - Judge: For making a nonsense accusation, I must hold you in contempt, Mr. Edgeworth.
2335 - Edgeworth: The hoser is you, Your Honor!
2336 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2337 - Judge: I agree with co-counsel! What are you doing calling me the hoser?!
2338 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, please allow me to finish.
2339 - Judge: Very well, but I’m warning you.
2340 - Judge: There had better be a good explanation for this.
2341 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, as we all know, you are Canadian. 
2342 - Edgeworth: And one of Canada’s chief imports from Germany is motor vehicles.
2343 - Edgeworth: And who else is from Germany?
2344 - Edgeworth: Why, Luna von Doppelbohringen of Cool Company! 
2345 - Edgeworth: By this point, the truth is obvious.
2346 - Edgeworth: The bank was really a secret nuclear facility which used heavy water from Cool Company. 
2347 - Edgeworth: When the robbery occurred, Luna was terrified that an investigation would be conducted.
2348 - Edgeworth: The facility could be discovered, and if it was found, then she would lose quite a lot of sales.
2349 - Edgeworth: So, Luna needed somebody to be convicted, and convicted fast.
2350 - Edgeworth: Otherwise, she risks losing all that revenue from neutron-rich dihydrogen monoxide.
2351 - Edgeworth: So she decided to blackmail you!
2352 - Edgeworth: If you didn’t convict my client, then she would threaten to move Cool Company to Andorra!
2353 - Edgeworth: This would deprive Germany of significant tax revenue. Luna would only stay on one condition.
2354 - Edgeworth: Germany would have to cut off automobile imports to Canada!
2355 - Edgeworth: Helpless, Germany could do nothing but comply, in turn creating a new victim.
2356 - Edgeworth: Canada, which could no longer support hockey for want of buses for hockey teams to travel!
2357 - Edgeworth: Ergo, you deceived this court to save hockey!
2358 - Edgeworth: You are a true Canadian, but you are also a true hoser!
2359 - Judge: …
2360 - Judge: Cool Company is based here in California.
2361 - Edgeworth: … [] Oh.
2363 - Judge: I now accuse you of being a hoser, presenting your theory as proof. I agree with myself. 
2364 - Judge: You are held in contempt of court, Mr. Edgeworth. I…[] used to respect you.
2365 - Edgeworth: The hoser…[] is Winston Payne!
2366 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2367 - Payne: Not again!
2368 - Judge: You are calling Mr. Payne the hoser?
2369 - Judge: If you are right, this will mark the tenth time in a row that he has been accused and convicted.
2370 - Phoenix: I knew he was bad, but that’s…
2371 - Phoenix: Sort of sad.
2372 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, where is your proof that Mr. Payne is a hoser?
2373 - Edgeworth: Just look at him! He is wearing a yellow suit and his hair is an abomination!
2374 - Edgeworth: If that is not proof, then I don’t know what is!
2375 - Judge: You don’t know what proof is.
2376 - Judge: You are safe, Mr. Payne. You, however, Mr. Edgeworth...
2377 - Judge: You are being held in contempt of court for getting my hopes up! I thought we had ten in a row!
2379 - Edgeworth: The hoser…[] is Detective Gumshoe!
2380 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2381 - Judge: Detective Gumshoe?!
2382 - Edgeworth: Yes. It was mentioned earlier that he was the scruffy one.
2383 - Judge: I remember him now! He was the one whose testimony contained no contradictions.
2384 - Edgeworth: Not true, Your Honor. I see now that there was a contradiction after all.
2385 - Judge: There was?!
2386 - Payne: There was?!
2387 - Phoenix: There was?!
2388 - Edgeworth: Why, the detective, of course. His salary has been cut so much that he cannot buy food.
2389 - Edgeworth: He should have died of starvation, but for some reason, he is quite alive.
2390 - Edgeworth: You cannot deny that this is a contradiction!
2391 - Judge: I can, actually.
2392 - Judge: Due to your baseless and nonsense theory, you have been held in contempt of court, Mr. Edgeworth.
2393 - Edgeworth: The hoser…[] is Mike Meekins!
2394 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2395 - Judge: Although Mr. Meekins was a unique character, I do not believe that is enough to classify him as a hoser.
2396 - Edgeworth: Under normal circumstances, his behavior would be insufficient.
2397 - Edgeworth: However, he has lost his gun, his ID, important papers and his sense of self-respect!
2398 - Edgeworth: It is not out of reasonability to suppose that he lost his mind and messed up!
2399 - Payne: And to think that I was scared.
2400 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, what you just spouted is as rubbish as your skills as a defense attorney!
2401 - Judge: You are being held in contempt of court!
2402 - Edgeworth: The hoser…[] is Dee Jordur!
2403 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2404 - Jordur: What’s a hoser?
2405 - Edgeworth: That’s actually a good question.
2406 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, what is a hoser?
2407 - Judge: What you are if you don’t give me some evidence!
2408 - Edgeworth: I have your evidence right here!
2409 - Edgeworth: There’s lovely plumage on this contradiction, is there not?
2410 - Judge: Why yes, there is!
2411 - Payne: Your Honor, aren’t you getting distracted?
2412 - Judge: Oh, right, the Hoser Inquisition.
2413 - Judge: This evidence does not impress. Youfa ilia fuoy, Mr. Edgeworth.
2414 - Edgeworth: “Youfa ilia fuoy”?
2415 - Judge: It means “you fail”, and it’s a palindrome!
2416 - Judge: The defense is held in contempt!
2417 - Edgeworth: (How did I not see this earlier? The truth was right in front of me!)
2419 - Jordur: And 
2420 - how did Trucy's fingerprints get on that metal thingy
2421 - ? I don’t know how that happened.
2422 - Payne: The obligation of checking the evidence rests with the detective.
2423 - Payne: The detective in charge of this case is… not the best. 
2424 - Jordur: TWME is short for “Trucy Wright: Magician Extraordinaire.”
2426 - Edgeworth: (Although I must admit, I see no
2427 - reason to bring two guns or only throw away one 
2428 - at this time.)
2429 - Gumshoe: Well pal, it’s a simple silvery-blue pistol. 
2430 - We couldn't find any bullets
2431 - , but we did find some prints.
2432 - Judge: Of course. The defendant is a magician, and a top hat is just
2433 - one of a magician's many tools
2434 - .
2435 - Edgeworth: As a magician, the defendant would always wear gloves. It's 
2436 - a magician's trademark
2437 - !
2438 - Payne: All it would take is one time to leave those prints, rookie.
2439 - Jordur: The prop looks perfectly normal, but it can’t be!
2440 - If it is, it contradicts, uh, physics!
2441 - von Karma: That foolishly foolish fool of a detective doesn't know the basics of an investigation!
2443 - Judge: Did you have something to say, Mr. Edgeworth?
2444 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the hoser is Detective Dick Gumshoe.
2445 - Judge: But that was the only testimony which you didn’t find a problem with!
2446 - Edgeworth: That testimony was supposed to be presenting the evidence and indisputable facts of the case. 
2447 - Edgeworth: Not even a person like the detective would expose his incompetency immediately.
2448 - Payne: Immediately?
2449 - Edgeworth: Correct.
2450 - Edgeworth: It is only upon closer examination that the problem in the testimony becomes as apparent as it is to me.
2451 - Edgeworth: This whole trial, there has been one contradiction always looming in the background. [] 
2452 - Edgeworth: The gun.
2453 - Edgeworth: What motivated the robber to take two? Why throw one away? 
2454 - Edgeworth: How and why did the defendant even get a gun, being a minor?
2455 - Edgeworth: The answer to this is simple.
2456 - Judge: What is it?!
2457 - Edgeworth: The gun in the Court Record isn't a gun at all!
2459 - Payne: You’ve lost it. Too much pressure for you, rookie?
2460 - Edgeworth: I assure you, the only thing breaking down is the prosecution's case.
2461 - Payne: !
2462 - Edgeworth: After all, the "gun" in evidence is actually Trucy Wright's magic prop!
2463 - Judge: Trucy-
2464 - Payne: Wright's-
2465 - Edgeworth: Prop gun, yes.
2469 - Judge: I will have order in here immediately!
2470 - Edgeworth: It shouldn’t take too long to verify my hypothesis.
2471 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, if you are wrong, you will be held in contempt.
2472 - Edgeworth: I am aware.
2473 - Judge: Very well.
2474 - Judge: Bailiff, take this gun in for testing.
2476 - Special sprite: 10 minutes later
2477 - Bailiff: Word has come back from the boys at the lab. They say…[] the gun is not real.
2478 - Judge: Give me the documents immediately!
2480 - Gun updated in the Court Record.
2481 - Payne: AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
2483 - Judge: That’s enough!
2484 - Judge: This court sees no reason to further prolong this inquisition.
2485 - Judge: Nor is there any need for more time to decide the case against the accused.
2486 - Judge: This case is extremely clear. I see no room for mis- interpretation of the facts.
2487 - Judge: On the charge of being a hoser, this court finds the accused, Detective Dick Gumshoe...
2489 - Judge: The accused will surrender to the court immediately... 
2490 - Judge: To hose down the hockey rinks within a month from today's date.
2491 - Judge: That is all. The inquisition is adjourned!
2493 - Payne: ...
2494 - Phoenix: ...
2495 - Edgeworth: ...
2496 - Jordur: ...
2498 - Special sprite: ...
2499 - Payne: Does this mean...[] 
2500 - Payne: I'm not a hoser this time?!
2501 - Judge: Correct.
2502 - Payne: Hee hee hee... I'm in my prime now, rookie!
2503 - Edgeworth: (What is wrong with this moron?! I’ve had about as much as I can take of him!)
2504 - Judge: Anyways, where were we?
2505 - Edgeworth: I had just explained that the silver gun was one of Trucy’s props.
2506 - Edgeworth: Thus, it was perfectly natural for the defendant’s fingerprints to be on it.
2508 - Payne: Oh, you honestly believe that! It’s more amusing than you know.
2509 - Edgeworth: Mr. Payne, just get to your objection.
2510 - Payne: Why would the robber be stupid enough to bring a fake gun?
2511 - Edgeworth: Why do you assume it was stupidity?
2512 - Payne: What other reason would the-
2513 - Payne: !
2514 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, are you implying what I believe you are?
2515 - Edgeworth: I believe so.
2516 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur had a plan to frame the defendant for this robbery!
2518 - Payne: You're crazy! Dee Jordur couldn't have gotten that gun!
2520 - Edgeworth: On the contrary, this evidence proves Dee Jordur was uniquely positioned to pilfer that pistol!
2522 - Edgeworth: Here is the evidence!
2523 - Judge: And how does that show how Ms. Jordur was able to steal the gun?
2524 - Edgeworth: I seem to have grabbed the wrong piece of evidence, Your Honor.
2525 - Judge: Perhaps a penalty will keep you from making the same mistake again.
2526 - Edgeworth: (Focus! Dee Jordur stole that gun. I just need to show how she could have easily done that.)
2527 - Payne: The prosecution still maintains that Jordur had no way of getting at the defendant's gun.
2529 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, suppose you wanted to take a fellow judge’s gavel. When would you do it?
2530 - Judge: When the judge wasn't there, but they had just used it or were about to use it.
2531 - Judge: Just after or before a trial.
2532 - Judge: Not that I would do something like that, eh?
2533 - Edgeworth: I believe that Ms. Jordur had a very similar idea to your own.
2535 - Payne: The prosecution demands proof!
2537 - Edgeworth: Then let me finish!
2538 - Edgeworth: I direct your attention to the schedule. Particularly to the names of Wednesday's performers.
2539 - Judge: Dee Jordur is right after Trucy! She could easily have stolen it!
2540 - Judge: Ms. Jordur, what do you have to say for yourself?!
2541 - Jordur: ...
2542 - Phoenix: Have you noticed that she’s been silent for a while now?
2543 - Edgeworth: She hasn’t said a word since the “Hoser Inquisition” began.
2544 - Phoenix: Silence like that isn’t normal for somebody who has just been accused.
2545 - Payne: Ms. Jordur?
2546 - Jordur: ...
2547 - Judge: Ms. Jordur, this court asks for your response to Mr. Edgeworth’s new statements.
2548 - Judge: If you do not respond, it will be taken as a confession!
2550 - Jordur: A confession?
2551 - Jordur: Mr. Judge, you are so funny!
2552 - Jordur: Why would I want to confess to something I never did?
2553 - Jordur: I’ve been a good little girl, haven’t I?
2554 - Edgeworth: No, you haven't.
2555 - Jordur: Is it okay if I respond to what Mr. Lawyer said now?
2556 - Judge: Of course!
2558 - Judge: Witness, testify!
2559 - Jordur: Thanks!

2563 - Special sprite: [instant: rgb(255, 128, 0)]- - - - The Fundamental Flaw - - - -[]
2564 - Jordur: Y
2565 - Special sprite: ou make me laugh, Mr. Lawyer, and when I start, I can’t stop! 
2566 - Jordur: I 
2567 - Special sprite: think you want to accuse me of taking that money and trying to make it look like Trucy did it.
2568 - Jordur: I 
2569 - Special sprite: still don’t get how I could have left that brown hair, but I don’t think you want to talk about that.
2570 - Jordur: D
2571 - Special sprite: o you have anything showing that I did this? Everything I’ve seen so far looks like a fairy tale.
2572 - Jordur: I 
2573 - Special sprite: may not have seen Trucy, but I thought I did! It was a coinky-dink that the metal thingy said so too!
2574 - Jordur: I 
2575 - Special sprite: think Trucy tried to make it look like she did it so that she could claim she was a victim later.
2576 - Jordur: W
2577 - Special sprite: hat do you think, Mr. Lawyer?
2578 - Judge: Hmm...
2579 - Judge: As the witness has said, the defense has not yet prevented any decisive evidence of their theory.
2580 - Payne: That’s right! You may have been right about the guns, rookie, but that doesn’t change the evidence!
2581 - Payne: The defendant still did it, and if you had any proof to the contrary, you would have presented it by now.
2582 - Judge: Now Mr. Edgeworth, please begin your cross-examination.
2583 - Edgeworth: (I get the distinct sense that this is the final cross- examination for the trial…)
2584 - Edgeworth: (I need to come up with something that directly ties her in to the crime, and fast!)

2588 - [instant: rgb(255, 128, 0)]- - - - The Fundamental Flaw - - - -[]
2591 - Jordur: You make me laugh, Mr. Lawyer, and when I start, I can’t stop! 
2592 - Jordur: I think you want to accuse me of taking that money and trying to make it look like Trucy did it.
2593 - Jordur: I still don’t get how I could have left that brown hair, but I don’t think you want to talk about that.
2594 - Jordur: Do you have anything showing that I did this? Everything I’ve seen so far looks like a fairy tale.
2595 - Jordur: I may not have seen Trucy, but I thought I did! It was a coinky-dink that the metal thingy said so too!
2596 - Jordur: I think Trucy tried to make it look like she did it so that she could claim she was a victim later.
2597 - Jordur: I think she did everything she could to seem bad, but leave a way out. She wanted double jeopardy.
2598 - Jordur: What do you think, Mr. Lawyer?
2601 - Edgeworth: Not even Kristoph Gavin would make such a ridiculous argument.
2602 - Phoenix: Regardless, you have to break it.
2603 - Edgeworth: How am I possibly supposed to connect Jordur to the actual robbery?
2604 - Phoenix: Well... I'd look at the evidence related to the actual robbery.
2605 - Edgeworth: ... That's everything but the schedule and my cardboard badge.
2606 - Phoenix: See, I ruled that evidence out!
2607 - Phoenix: Any other advice?
2608 - Phoenix: Make a guess and hope you get lucky.
2609 - Edgeworth: … [] This is why you are not a prosecutor.
2610 - Edgeworth: You need to learn to plan. I would have if I had any evidence before the trial.
2614 - Edgeworth: I assure you, this is no laughing matter.
2615 - Jordur: Well, it is for me.
2616 - Edgeworth: But you’re the one I’m accusing!
2617 - Jordur: I know.
2618 - Edgeworth: How can you remain so calm?!
2620 - Payne: Your Honor, the defense is badgering the witness.
2621 - Judge: Sustained.
2622 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, if you want to get into an argument with the witness, present evidence first.
2626 - Edgeworth: Why do you think that?
2627 - Jordur: Well, isn’t that what you’ve been saying?
2628 - Edgeworth: ... Point taken.
2629 - Jordur: You’re funny when you’re forgetful.
2630 - Edgeworth: (This woman seems to understand that I’m accusing her, but she refuses to take it seriously.)
2634 - Edgeworth: ...
2635 - Judge: Does the defense have a question for the witness?
2636 - Edgeworth: (Wright’s cursed habit of pressing everything must be wearing off on me.)
2637 - Edgeworth: Well, there were several possibilities as to how you could have left a brown hair.
2638 - Edgeworth: You could have dyed it.
2639 - Jordur: But I didn't! Test my hair if you want!
2640 - Edgeworth: Test the hair?
2641 - Phoenix: You’d be surprised what scientific tests can reveal.
2642 - Phoenix: A mutual friend told me all about it.
2643 - Payne: Regardless, the defense can't yet explain how the witness could have left the hair.
2644 - Judge: Quite right. Mr. Edgeworth, you should be moving on, eh?
2648 - Edgeworth: Please, explain how this is a fairy tale.
2649 - Jordur: Well, I’m new to this law thing, but isn’t there stuff called evidence that you’re supposed to have?
2650 - Jordur: I just don’t see how, in the eyes of the law, your story is anything but a story unless you have proof.
2651 - Judge: The witness is quite right!
2652 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, you will need to present decisive evidence if you want to get a “not guilty” verdict.
2653 - Edgeworth: (I was afraid of that.)
2654 - Edgeworth: (How can I pull any decisive evidence of Jordur’s guilt from what I have?)
2658 - Edgeworth: You honestly expect the court to believe that it is a coincidence?
2659 - Jordur: Yeah.
2660 - Edgeworth: ...
2661 - Judge: Explain.
2662 - Jordur: Well, I didn’t commit the crime, but seeing that robber was the only way I knew what happened.
2663 - Jordur: The only thing I can think of is that it was just a coincidence!
2664 - Judge: This is very unlikely.
2665 - Edgeworth: Not to mention that you admit that your testimony was totally wrong.
2666 - Jordur: Yeah, but it’s just like a bad batch of cookies using the perfect recipe!
2667 - Jordur: It’s really sad and not likely, but it can still happen.
2668 - Edgeworth: (Do I have the evidence to dispute her claim at this point? If so, I need to present it.)
2672 - Edgeworth: And what leads you to that conclusion?
2673 - Jordur: I’m trying to think of a reason for her to throw that first gun away.
2674 - Jordur: The one that I can come up with is that she wanted it to be found.
2675 - Edgeworth: And why would she want that?
2676 - Jordur: Well, my guess is she wanted to be accused and then found not guilty.
2677 - Jordur: Isn’t there some legal thingy that would make that good?
2678 - Phoenix: She’s talking about
2679 - double jeopardy
2680 - .
2681 - Phoenix: Once a person is found not guilty, they can never be retried unless there was a mistrial. 
2682 - Phoenix: I’m surprised she thought of it.
2683 - Jordur: Double jeopardy, that's it!
2684 - Jordur: She did everything she could to make it look like she did, but leave a way out! 
2685 - Jordur: That way, she could get a not guilty verdict, preventing her from every having being tried again!
2686 - Edgeworth: Interesting.
2687 - Jordur: I'll say it again if you like.
2688 - Edgeworth: The defense demands that this statement be added to the record.
2689 - Judge: Very well.
2691 - Judge: Witness, please add the statement.
2696 - Edgeworth: How do you know about something like double jeopardy?
2697 - Jordur: Well, I took a class on, uh, constee-, institu, no, that’s not it…
2698 - Edgeworth: The United States Constitution?
2699 - Jordur: Yeah, that’s it! I needed to get a credit on government!
2700 - Edgeworth: You remember double jeopardy, but you can’t remember the name of the document that provides for it?!
2701 - Jordur: Well, I tend to remember interesting things. 
2702 - Jordur: That a person can’t be tried for the same crime after they’ve been giving a not guilty interests me.
2703 - Jordur: The word “Constitution” doesn’t.
2705 - Payne: This conversation is getting nowhere.
2706 - Judge: Sustained.
2707 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, ask about another thing. We are not here to discuss Ms. Jordur’s college schedule.
2711 - Edgeworth: I think that it’s a load of nonsense.
2712 - Jordur: Which part?
2713 - Edgeworth: All of it.
2714 - Jordur: Oh? How do you know?
2715 - Edgeworth: Do you honestly expect the court to believe that you accused Trucy by coincidence?
2716 - Jordur: Yes.
2717 - Edgeworth: That she somehow wanted to be accused?
2718 - Jordur: Yes.
2719 - Jordur: If my theory is so crazy, show some evidence. If your theory is better, show me some evidence.
2720 - Jordur: Explaining that brown hair would be a good start.
2721 - Edgeworth: Ack!
2722 - Judge: Agreed! Present evidence!
2729 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur.
2730 - Jordur: Yes, Mr. Lawyer?
2731 - Edgeworth: Let me verify this. 
2732 - Edgeworth: Your theory is that Trucy wanted to seem suspicious, so that she could be arrested and tried.
2733 - Edgeworth: She then wanted her frame-up of herself to be exposed, giving her a not guilty.
2734 - Edgeworth: Double jeopardy would prevent her from being tried with real evidence.
2735 - Jordur: Wow, your hearing must be great! Have you been eating carrot cake?
2736 - Judge: Actually, carrots are supposed to help eyesight, not hearing.
2737 - Edgeworth: So, I am correct in my understanding?
2739 - Payne: She just said you were! Stop badgering my witness!
2740 - Edgeworth: In that case, the defense has a single question for the witness.
2741 - Edgeworth: If your theory is correct, then why did Trucy not leave behind her fingerprints on the note?
2742 - Jordur: Fingerprints on the note?
2743 - Edgeworth: The issue that Trucy's fingerprints were not found on the note was brought up before you testified.
2744 - Edgeworth: You would think that if she was trying to frame herself, she would leave some fingerprints there.
2745 - Edgeworth: She could easily get out of it. All she would need to say is that she loaded Wonder Bar's printer.
2746 - Edgeworth: It would explain her prints and incriminate you.
2747 - Jordur: Well, it was just a theory. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
2748 - Edgeworth: That’s it? That’s all you have to say?
2749 - Jordur: Yep. All I did was propose an idea. It didn’t work. That’s okay. 
2750 - Jordur: But still, the only evidence you have that Trucy wasn’t the robber was that I was the real robber.
2751 - Edgeworth: I have plenty of evidence supporting that!
2752 - Jordur: Oh, can I see it? All I’ve heard is explanations, but no evidence! 
2753 - Jordur: It’s like a meal without dessert, and I do have a little sweet tooth.
2754 - Edgeworth: Well, the defense has, err…
2756 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, this court has had just about enough of your stalling. 
2757 - Judge: Does the defense have evidence of Ms. Jordur’s guilt or not?
2758 - Edgeworth: (This has been the problem this whole trial.)
2759 - Edgeworth: (Payne’s investigation focused only on the scene of the crime.)
2760 - Edgeworth: (I shouldn't have been able to get this far without having investigated the witness or the witnessing.)
2761 - Edgeworth: (I know what Wright would do. Prove it.)
2762 - Edgeworth: (But I am not Wright. I do not bluff. I need facts.)
2763 - Edgeworth: (Jordur’s guilt is the only explanation that works, but this entire claim is a bluff…)
2764 - Edgeworth: (And yet, I am a defense attorney…)
2766 - Edgeworth: Wright. What would you do?
2767 - Phoenix: I would prove it all.
2768 - Edgeworth: How?!
2769 - Phoenix: Hmm… I’m not really sure.
2770 - Edgeworth: (Well, you're being just as helpful as ever.)
2771 - Edgeworth: (I had best think carefully and not do anything, even blink or twitch, until I'm sure.)
2772 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. You need to answer now. Does the defense have proof of Ms. Jordur’s guilt or not?
2773 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense…
2774 - Edgeworth: The defense can prove it.
2779 - Judge: You have one shot, Mr. Edgeworth. Present the decisive evidence proving Ms. Jordur's guilt!
2782 - Edgeworth: This is the defense’s evidence, Your Honor!
2783 - Judge: That is the defense’s final evidence?
2784 - Edgeworth: Yes, this is the defense’s final piece of evidence!
2785 - Judge: I couldn’t have said it better myself.
2786 - Judge: Ultimate penalty, Mr. Edgeworth. I honestly expected better.
2787 - Edgeworth: The defense cannot prove it.
2788 - Payne: Hee hee hee… 
2789 - Payne: You should have known from the beginning, rookie. 
2790 - Payne: You could never prove the defendant to be not guilty.
2791 - Payne: She was guilty! She robbed that bank!
2792 - Payne: There may be some minor flaws in the witness’s testimony, but that doesn’t change a thing!
2794 - Edgeworth: Does it?
2795 - Edgeworth: We have only 
2796 - three reasons 
2797 - to suspect Trucy Wright of the crime.
2798 - Edgeworth: Her fingerprints are on the gun, her gun was found. and Dee Jordur saw her.
2799 - Edgeworth: However, the witness testimony has been damaged beyond repair.
2800 - Edgeworth: The gun was a prop that Dee Jordur could easily have stolen.
2801 - Edgeworth: Neither testimony nor evidence incriminates the defendant.
2802 - Payne: But you don’t have a proven idea either!
2803 - Edgeworth: And when did I claim my theory was proven? 
2804 - Edgeworth: The defense believes Dee Jordur to have committed the crime, and we have 
2805 - three reasons for suspicion
2806 - .
2807 - Edgeworth: Her testimony is a lie.
2808 - Edgeworth: Her testimony required information that only a witness or the criminal could possibly have known.
2809 - Edgeworth: She was the person who could have framed the defendant with the most ease and simplicity.
2810 - Payne: But you don’t have proof!
2812 - Edgeworth: Neither do you. 
2813 - Edgeworth: The prosecution has no evidence implying that the defendant is guilty of any wrongdoing. 
2814 - Edgeworth: The defense has no evidence implying that the witness is guilty of any crime, besides perjury. 
2815 - Edgeworth: We both have explanations, but neither of us has proof.
2816 - Judge: The defense has a point. The prosecution and defense are in the same position at this time.
2817 - Judge: Does the prosecution have a response?
2818 - Payne: The lack of contradicting evidence is reason enough to pass a guilty verdict.
2820 - Edgeworth: Contradicting evidence to what?
2821 - Edgeworth: The only evidence incriminating the defendant is a prop gun which could easily have been planted.
2822 - Edgeworth: Why else leave the gun on the ground?
2823 - Payne: The defense's evidence is equally flimsy!
2824 - Payne: If anybody could hallucinate a testimony, it is this witness!
2825 - Judge: Both the defense and prosecution have points! 
2826 - Judge: I don’t know if I care for this!
2827 - Edgeworth: The defense has a simple request. 
2828 - Edgeworth: Adjourn the court and give the attorneys time to gather additional evidence to support their cases.
2829 - Judge: Hmm... It is getting a bit late for a trial.
2830 - Judge: Does the prosecution have any comment on the proposal?
2831 - Payne: That self-help book told me all I needed was confidence to get what I wanted!
2832 - Payne: I was confident, but I still can't get a guilty verdict!
2833 - Payne: I wasted twenty dollars on that!
2834 - Judge: ...
2835 - Payne: No objections, Your Honor.
2836 - Judge: Seeing no objections-
2842 - Jordur: Mr. Judge, I think that you’re trying to cook this batter too fast.
2843 - Jordur: Didn’t you remember what Mr. Prosecutor said earlier?
2844 - Jordur: The hairs in the mask were going to be tested.
2845 - Jordur: I don’t know how long a DNA test takes, or what DNA is, but I think that you should wait for it.
2846 - Edgeworth: (She’s right. The person who wore that mask would have left that hair in that mask!) 
2847 - Edgeworth: The defense retracts its request for an extension until we know when the new evidence will arrive.
2848 - Judge: Excuse me?
2849 - Payne: The witness is quite right. It would be foolish not to wait for this new evidence.
2850 - Payne: The prosecution retracts its request for adjournment.
2851 - Judge: Very well then.
2852 - Judge: Bailiff-
2853 - Bailiff: The report just came in, Your Honor.
2854 - Judge: What does it say?!
2855 - Bailiff: According to DNA testing, the hair found in the mask belongs to…
2856 - Bailiff: Abigail Bracole.
2857 - Judge: But that’s impossible! No “Abigail Bracole” is related to this case!
2858 - Bailiff: Further research shows that Bracole was a private in the military.
2859 - Bailiff: She committed suicide two months ago, while still in training.
2861 - Edgeworth: The results must be mistaken.
2862 - Judge: But according to these papers, the tests were done a second time to check for errors!
2863 - Judge: The court will have to accept this evidence!
2865 - Mask updated in the Court Record.
2866 - Payne: W-What does this mean?!
2867 - Judge: I’m not sure. 
2868 - Judge: What I do know is that court is being adjourned for the day. 
2869 - Judge: Prosecution and defense are to investigate this matter and come up with proof for trial tomorrow. 
2870 - Jordur: I told you it was important!
2871 - Judge: Court is adjourned.
2874 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, how could you have missed that?!
2875 - Phoenix: There was one piece of evidence that's been really off, and Trucy's magical identity explains it!
2876 - Phoenix: I guess this wasn't meant to be.
2878 - Judge: That's enough!
2879 - Judge: This court sees no reason to further prolong this trial. 
2880 - Judge: Nor is there any need for more time to decide the case against the defendant. 
2881 - Judge: This case is extremely clear. I see no room for mis- interpretation of the facts.
2882 - Judge: This court finds the defendant, Trucy Wright…
2884 - Judge: The accused will surrender to the court immediately... 
2885 - Judge: ...to be held pending trial at a higher court within a month from today's date.
2886 - Judge: That is all.
2887 - Judge: Court is adjourned.

Just to warn you (and to let kwando know), his case-to-script is bugged. Frame 16, for example, should read "You haven’t even shaved? I assume that you aren’t taking this seriously, as usual." The omitted section is between two pauses, so I'm assuming that kwando made a bug with the tag-stripping regex.

Better, but still bugged. See frames 6 and 152.

14 - ???: (Why did I ever agree to do this again? Right, the same reason as last time.)
15 - ???: Glad you could make it.
16 - ???: You haven’t even shaved? I assume that you aren’t taking this seriously, as usual.
17 - ???: I’m not the attorney anymore, Edgeworth.
18 - Edgeworth: *sigh* I knew that your recklessness would catch up to you, but not like that.
21 - Edgeworth: (Six years ago, Phoenix Wright, a friend of mine and the man before me, was a lawyer.)
22 - Edgeworth: (Then, in one of his trials, it was proven that evidence he had used was forged.)
23 - Edgeworth: (He claimed that he had no idea, but almost nobody believed him. Wright was disbarred.)
24 - Edgeworth: (He trusted only one defense attorney: Kristoph Gavin, the man who stuck by him.)
26 - Phoenix: We can discuss that later.
27 - Edgeworth: So you always seem to say, but we never actually do.
28 - Phoenix: I don't think that matters right now.
29 - Phoenix: I can handle things, but I'll do it my way. I'm not getting you involved with the Forgin' Attorney.
30 - Phoenix: Shouldn’t you be focusing on the case, Edgeworth?
31 - Edgeworth: I would if you gave me something to focus on. You just told me about this a day ago.
32 - Edgeworth: I know absolutely nothing, Wright.
33 - Phoenix: Well, do what you can.
34 - Edgeworth: Of course. Where is the defendant?
35 - Phoenix: … Dunno.
36 - Edgeworth: “Dunno”?! She’s YOUR daughter!
37 - Bailiff: The defendant has just arrived from the police transport.
38 - Edgeworth: (Wright didn’t accompany her?)
39 - Phoenix: I know what you’re thinking, but I had some work to do.
40 - Trucy: Daddy!
41 - Phoenix: Ha ha!
42 - Phoenix: It's good to see you too, Trucy.
44 - Edgeworth: (After the case where Wright was disbarred, he became a piano player and...)
46 - Edgeworth: (...received custody of Trucy, the daughter of the defendant in the case.)
47 - Edgeworth: (She is a magician and now a defendant, accused of 
48 - bank robbery
49 - .)
51 - Trucy: Is this Mr. Edgeworth?
52 - Phoenix: Yeah, he's your attorney for today.
53 - Trucy: Very nice to meet you. I’ve always wanted to meet a professional prosecutor.
54 - Edgeworth: As opposed to your prosecutor, who is an amateur in every sense of the word.
55 - Edgeworth: I can hardly believe that you are even being accused, honestly.
56 - Edgeworth: Fourteen years is rather young for bank robbery, to say the least.
57 - Phoenix: But not impossible. Have you forgot your first trial, Edgeworth?
58 - Phoenix: Dahlia Hawthorne was just as old when she faked her death and stole a two million dollar gem.
59 - Phoenix: Dahlia was in her class of her own, but the prosecution would never buy that argument.
60 - Edgeworth: Especially this "prosecutor."
61 - Phoenix: I thought Franziska von Karma was prosecuting.
64 - Edgeworth: (Franziska von Karma… A wild mare of a prosecutor who is obsessed with...)
65 - Edgeworth: (...proving herself better than me and striking down fools with her whip.)
66 - Edgeworth: (I posed as a defense attorney once before, and she was the prosecutor.)
67 - Edgeworth: (My job that day was why Phoenix wants me to defend his daughter.)
68 - Edgeworth: (The only defense attorney he trusts is busy, so he has to go to somebody who is not an attorney.)
70 - Trucy: Von Karma’s the whip lady, right?
71 - Edgeworth: I asked the “whip lady”, but she didn’t like the idea. I recall her exact words.
74 - von Karma: That foolishly foolish fool of a detective doesn't know the basics of an investigation! 
75 - von Karma: I cannot accept a case that is less than my perfection!
77 - Phoenix: Typical von Karma.
78 - Phoenix: So, who is prosecuting?
79 - Edgeworth: A custodian at the Prosecutor’s Office. His name is Payne.
80 - Phoenix: Ha ha ha...
81 - Edgeworth: ?
82 - Phoenix: Don’t you have some questions for your client?
83 - Edgeworth: Ah, yes...
85 - Edgeworth: Where were you on the night of the crime?
86 - Trucy: I was home alone the whole night.
87 - Trucy: Daddy was on a secret mission.
88 - Phoenix: Suffice it to say, Edgeworth, that although I may be disbarred...
89 - Phoenix: ...I still hold a lot of sway in the legal system.
90 - Phoenix: That is why I can still be your co-counsel.
91 - Edgeworth: (I guess an alibi and explanation are out of the question.)
93 - Edgeworth: Why were you arrested?
94 - Trucy: Well-
96 - Bailiff: The trial is about to begin. Please enter the courtroom now.
97 - Edgeworth: (So much for that...)
98 - June 13, 10:00 AM District Courthouse Courtroom No. 3
101 - Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Trucy Wright. Are the defense and prosecution ready?
102 - Payne: The prosecution is ready, Your Honor.
103 - Edgeworth: The defense is ready, Your Honor.
104 - Edgeworth: (Barring the fact that I never finished my talk with the defendant.)
105 - Judge: Very good.
106 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, is that you?
107 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor.
108 - Judge: It is good to see you again.
109 - Judge: You looked like a promising defense attorney when I presided over one of your cases. 
110 - Judge: I was very disappointed not to have heard anything aboot you afterwards.
111 - Judge: I am glad to see you are still an attorney.
112 - Edgeworth: Thank you, Your Honor.
113 - Edgeworth: (I remember this judge. He presided over the other case where I posed as a defense attorney.)
114 - Edgeworth: (He is the only judge I could find who did not know I am a prosecutor.)
115 - Payne: What about me?!
116 - Judge: Calm down, Mr. Payne. I’m not sure how I feel about prosecutors with such low self-esteem.
117 - Payne: It's not my fault if you forget about me.
118 - Edgeworth: (This judge does have a regrettable uncertainty.)
119 - Judge: The prosecution may give its opening statement.
120 - Payne: On June the 12th, the defendant went to the Bank of the People dressed in black, with a ski mask.
121 - Payne: She pulled out a 
122 - gun 
123 - and demanded a sum of $200,000 or else...
124 - Payne: Bam! She would fire. After getting the money, she ran off.
125 - Edgeworth: (From that description, this doesn’t look like a case with much in the way of evidence.)
126 - Judge: Did the bank have any security staff?
127 - Payne: Yes. The guard will testify later.
128 - Judge: Hmm…
129 - Judge: The court would like to hear more about what happened.
130 - Judge: Does the prosecution have a witness prepared to testify on the matter?
131 - Payne: Yes, Your Honor.
132 - Judge: Good. The court would like to hear from this witness.
133 - Payne: The prosecution calls Detective Gumshoe to the stand.
135 - Payne: The witness will state his name and profession.
136 - Gumshoe: Dick Gumshoe. I work homicide at the precinct.
137 - Judge: A homicide detective testifying about a robbery?!
138 - Judge: I’m not sure how I feel about that...
140 - Gumshoe: After my last case, the chief decided that I needed to take a break from homicide for a bit.
141 - Gumshoe: I was transferred to robbery for two weeks.
142 - Edgeworth: (Ah, the inept Detective Gumshoe. I have the misfortune of working with him very frequently.)
143 - Edgeworth: (He misses the obvious and is incapable of deduction...)
144 - Edgeworth: (...but his dedication and loyalty to me are incredible. That’s why he hasn’t exposed me.)
145 - Phoenix: Knowing Gumshoe, this testimony won’t be much of a problem.
146 - Edgeworth: I’m more concerned about making it through this testimony without losing my composure.
148 - Judge: The witness may begin his testimony.

153 - Gumshoe: T
154 - Special sprite: he Bank of the People was robbed on the twelfth of June.
155 - Gumshoe: A 
156 - Special sprite: masked woman entered the bank, pointed a gun at the teller and gave him a note demanding $200,000.
157 - Gumshoe: T
158 - Special sprite: he teller gave the woman the money and the suspect fled.
159 - Gumshoe: O
160 - Special sprite: n the way out, the thief dropped her gun. We think she didn't want to stand out as she fled.
161 - Gumshoe: S
162 - Special sprite: he also threw her mask off and was identified by a witness as Trucy Wright.
163 - Gumshoe: W
164 - Special sprite: e arrested Trucy, but we didn't find the money. The defendant didn't tell us where she hid it.
165 - Judge: Well, that was informative.
166 - Payne: To add to this, the prosecution would like to submit a report of the crime at this time.
167 - Judge: The evidence is accepted into the Court Record.
168 - Crime Report added to the Court Record.
169 - Edgeworth: (That was astonishingly complete.)

177 - Gumshoe: The Bank of the People was robbed on the twelfth of June.
178 - Gumshoe: A masked woman entered the bank, pointed a gun at the teller and gave him a note demanding $200,000.
179 - Gumshoe: The teller gave the woman the money and the suspect fled.
180 - Gumshoe: On the way out, the thief dropped her gun. We think she didn't want to stand out as she fled.
181 - Gumshoe: She also threw her mask off and was identified by a witness as Trucy Wright.
182 - Gumshoe: We arrested Trucy, but we didn't find the money. The defendant didn't tell us where she hid it.
185 - Edgeworth: This testimony is a lot better than I expected.
186 - Phoenix: In other words, he hasn't messed up?
187 - Edgeworth: Correct.
188 - Phoenix: Then just press away.
192 - Edgeworth: Describe the security of the bank.
193 - Gumshoe: It’s pretty simple, sir. There are some security cameras, safes, guards…
194 - Edgeworth: How many guards were there?
195 - Gumshoe: I think it was just one that day, and he came from the police.
196 - Gumshoe: Both of the regulars were sick, so they needed someone fast. 
197 - Gumshoe: The police were happy to help for some reason. The guy wasn't even armed, though.
198 - Edgeworth: (Curious…)
199 - Payne: Anybody, even the defendant, could have committed the crime with security like that.
200 - Edgeworth: Does that include His Honor?
201 - Judge: I assure you I am completely innocent!
202 - Payne: Err...
203 - Payne: The witnesses saw a woman in black. It couldn't have been His Honor.
204 - Edgeworth: Didn't they say anything else?
205 - Payne: We couldn't even get a height out of them.
206 - Edgeworth: (Very curious...)
211 - Edgeworth: A note?
212 - Gumshoe: Yeah. A fairly typical hold-up note.
213 - Gumshoe: It was typed up, and forensics couldn’t find any prints besides the teller's.
215 - Edgeworth: The defense requests that this note be submitted to evidence.
216 - Gumshoe: Oh, and while I’m at it, I’ll throw in the mask.
217 - Edgeworth: The mask?
218 - Gumshoe: Yeah. We found it on the street.
219 - Edgeworth: (Hmm…? There appear to be hairs inside. I had best note this.)
220 - Judge: The court will accept this evidence.
221 - Hold-up Note added to the Court Record.
222 - Mask added to the Court Record.
228 - Edgeworth: There was a guard at the bank, correct?
229 - Gumshoe: Yeah.
230 - Edgeworth: Why did the guard not intervene?
231 - Gumshoe: I think I mentioned that he didn't have a gun.
232 - Edgeworth: Oh...
233 - Payne: Don't tell me you're slipping up already, rookie.
234 - Edgeworth: (Rather arrogant for a custodian, isn't he?)
235 - Edgeworth: (Besides, I can't recall if the detective did mention that.)
240 - Edgeworth: Describe this gun for the court.
241 - Gumshoe: Well sir, it’s a simple silvery-blue pistol. We couldn’t find any bullets, but we did find some prints.
242 - Edgeworth: (I suppose there's nothing else to ask.)
244 - Edgeworth: Whose?
245 - Edgeworth: (Do I even want an answer to that question?)
246 - Gumshoe: The defendant’s. We tested for glove prints, but it was inconclusive.
247 - Edgeworth: !
248 - Judge: But the defendant’s a minor! How did she get a hold of a gun, eh?!
249 - Payne: Hee, hee, hee… 
250 - Payne: Now you see the defendant for who she really is!
251 - Payne: Even if you do believe in your client’s innocence, you cannot deny that she handled a gun! 
252 - Payne: For a minor, that is a crime in and of itself!
253 - Judge: Mr. Payne is right. Even if the defendant is found not guilty of the robbery...
254 - Judge: ...there will be charges for the illegal possession of a firearm.
256 - Edgeworth: Wright...
257 - Phoenix: I'm as much in the dark as you are.
258 - Edgeworth: That's all you can say?!
259 - Phoenix: That's all there is to say, I guess.
260 - Edgeworth: Unbelievable. I really do pity Trucy.
261 - Gumshoe: We marked the location of the gun on this map of the bank.
262 - Judge: The court accepts the evidence.
263 - Gun added to the Court Record.
264 - Floor Plans added to the Court Record.
270 - Edgeworth: A witness?
271 - Gumshoe: Yeah. I dunno anything about her, other than that she said she saw the defendant with the cash.
272 - Edgeworth: (Well, that was a useless inquiry.) 
273 - Edgeworth: Why do you think Trucy removed the mask?
274 - Gumshoe: Like I said, I think she wanted to stand out as little as possible.
275 - Gumshoe: There wasn’t anything that could be done about the sack of money, though.
281 - Edgeworth: You arrested the defendant solely on the basis of this one witness?!
282 - Gumshoe: Is that a problem?
283 - Edgeworth: (Forget it. Explaining procedure to him is a waste of my time.)
290 - Edgeworth: Your Honor! What do you think of the witness's statement!?
291 - Judge: I don't think there is a problem with it.
292 - Edgeworth: Hmph... You say that with such gusto that I suppose I must agree that is all there is to it.
293 - Judge: ... Don't get smart with me!
294 - Judge: Get smart with this penalty!
295 - Edgeworth: (It would appear that even I can make mistakes...)
297 - Edgeworth: This evidence clearly reveals the contradiction in that statement, Your Honor!
298 - Judge: Unfortunately, I’m afraid I can’t accept that.
299 - Edgeworth: Well done, Your Honor.
300 - Judge: W-What?
301 - Edgeworth: I was only testing you just now.
302 - Judge: ...
303 - Judge: Well then, why don't you try testing this penalty, too?!
304 - Edgeworth: (It looks like I shouldn’t have spoken in haste…)
306 - Edgeworth: That statement contradicts the data provided by this piece of evidence!
307 - Judge: It does? How do you mean?
308 - Edgeworth: Forgive me, Your Honor, but you yourself just said that it does!
309 - Judge: ...
310 - Judge: Don’t try to play mind games with me!
311 - Edgeworth: (Curses... It appears I have yet to adjust to being on this side of the courtroom.)
316 - Judge: That is enough. Unless the defense objects, I would like to end the detective's cross-examination.
317 - Edgeworth: The defense has no objections.
318 - Judge: Good. Now, Mr. Payne, you mentioned calling a security guard as a witness, eh?
319 - Payne: Yes, Your Honor.
320 - Judge: Then please call him at this time.
321 - Payne: The prosecution calls our second witness, Mike Meekins, to the stand.
323 - Payne: Witness, please state your name and occupation.
325 - Meekins: Mike Meekins, police officer, sir!
326 - Edgeworth: (I have the vague feeling that I have seen this person before.)
327 - Payne: Before you begin, please explain why you were serving as a bank guard that night.
328 - Meekins: That’s a long story, sir. It starts about eight years ago whe-
330 - Edgeworth: Skip to the relevant parts, please.
331 - Meekins: I was a bailiff until I let a defendant escape in a big case, sir.
332 - Phoenix: He’s probably talking about the Gramayre trial, where I lost my badge. 
333 - Phoenix: Both the victim and the defendant were famous magicians, remember?
334 - Meekins: After that, I was transferred to desk duty.
335 - Meekins: The day of the robbery was my first day actually doing my normal job. That happens often.
336 - Judge: That?
337 - Meekins: Getting transferred, sir.
338 - Meekins: I’ve been transferred from recruiting officer to guard of the Blue Badger to-
339 - Edgeworth: Blue Badger?
340 - Meekins: The mascot of the police and pride of Gatewater Land, sir! I was once the Blue Badger, sir! 
341 - Meekins: I was proud to represent the police!
343 - Edgeworth: (Now I remember this klutz. I have dealt with him in two of my cases.)
344 - Edgeworth: (In both, he was a police officer turned murder suspect due to his own incompetence.)
345 - Edgeworth: (I get the sneaking suspicion that not much has changed.)
346 - Judge: I’m not sure how I feel about this witness, but...
348 - Judge: Mr. Meekins, please testify to the court about the robbery.
349 - Judge: With as little self-pity as possible.

354 - Meekins: I 
355 - Special sprite: was working at the bank that day as a security guard.
357 - Special sprite: Then, I observed an individual that I had to label suspicious!
359 - Special sprite: It was a young woman wearing all black, with a ski mask and a gun!
360 - Meekins: I 
361 - Special sprite: decided to stay close to the entrance walls, to stop her when she was least expecting it.
362 - Meekins: B
363 - Special sprite: y the time she had passed that note to the teller, I had my foot out to trip her!
364 - Meekins: B
365 - Special sprite: ut she just jumped over it! I did nothing to impede her escape, sir...
366 - Payne: ...
367 - Judge: ...
368 - Phoenix: ...
369 - Edgeworth: ...
371 - Special sprite: ...
372 - Edgeworth: You tried to stop the robber by tripping her?!
373 - Meekins: Yes, sir! It is a kung fu technique that I have practiced since I was a youth, sir. A youth!
374 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, don’t make this any longer than it has to be, or else.

382 - Meekins: I was working at the bank that day as a security guard.
383 - Meekins: Then, I observed an individual that I had to label suspicious!
384 - Meekins: It was a young woman wearing all black, with a ski mask and a gun!
385 - Meekins: She was wearing black shoes, sir! Even the laces were black!
386 - Meekins: If I had to label the ski mask as wool or not wool, I would label it as wool, sir!
387 - Meekins: The gun was a simple black pistol, sir!
388 - Meekins: I decided to stay close to the entrance walls, to stop her when she was least expecting it.
389 - Meekins: By the time she had passed that note to the teller, I had my foot out to trip her!
390 - Meekins: But she just jumped over it! I did nothing to impede her escape, sir...
393 - Edgeworth: This testimony still doesn’t explain why they arrested Trucy.
394 - Phoenix: No, they’re probably saving the witness for that.
395 - Phoenix: The only thing the prosecution wants to prove is an outline of how the crime occurred.
396 - Edgeworth: If I could expose a contradiction here, it would be consequential.
397 - Phoenix: For now, just work on debunking this testimony. Knowing Meekins, it can’t be that hard.
398 - Edgeworth: I think the opposite. He is so inept that correcting his mess of a testimony will be strenuous.
399 - Phoenix: True… Get info, think through what he says and compare it to evidence.
400 - Phoenix: There has to be a contradiction in there somewhere…
404 - Edgeworth: How was your experience at the bank?
405 - Meekins: I met a very notable woman, sir! A very notable woman!
407 - Edgeworth: (This might be important... Do I want to hear more or not?)
408 - Edgeworth: Could you describe this woman?
409 - Meekins: Well, she had blond hair and green eyes... She screamed very loudly when the robber came. 
410 - Meekins: That’s all I noticed.
411 - Edgeworth: ...
412 - Payne: ...
413 - Judge: That was a complete waste of time, Edgeworth!
414 - Judge: Penalty!
415 - Phoenix: Well, sometimes you lose.
416 - Edgeworth: The defense does not believe this is relevant. Continue, witness.
417 - Phoenix: Pressing everything always works well for me.
418 - Edgeworth: (Until you get penalized for going off-topic.)
423 - Edgeworth: Why did you have to label her as suspicious?
424 - Meekins: Well…
428 - Edgeworth: (Hmm… There’s a lot to ask about here. What should I press on?)
429 - Edgeworth: Describe this young woman in black for me.
430 - Meekins: I can’t say much about the woman beyond that.
431 - Meekins: She wore black everything. Black shirt, black sweatpants, black shoes...
432 - Edgeworth: Black shoes?
433 - Meekins: Yes, sir!
434 - Judge: Well, do you think this detail is important?
435 - Edgeworth: Yes, I believe it is.
437 - Judge: Very well. Please add this to your testimony.
439 - Edgeworth: No, I do not. Please continue with the testimony.
441 - Edgeworth: What can you say about this ski mask?
442 - Meekins: Well, it was a simple ski mask…
443 - Edgeworth: Think! Any detail can be important! What it was made of, for instance.
444 - Meekins: Hmm...
445 - Meekins: If I had to label it wool or not wool, I would label it wool!
446 - Judge: Well, do you think this changes anything?
447 - Edgeworth: This is extremely important, Your Honor.
449 - Judge: Witness, please repeat that for the record.
451 - Edgeworth: I do not see relevance at this time. Proceed, witness.
453 - Edgeworth: Describe the gun in further detail.
454 - Meekins: Well, it was a pistol...
455 - Edgeworth: You are an officer, are you not? You should be able to give more specifics.
456 - Meekins: I failed my firearms proficiency test, sir.
457 - Edgeworth: (They let him have a gun in spite of that?!)
458 - Edgeworth: Officer, that is no excuse!
459 - Meekins: It was a black pistol, sir! What more was there to say?
460 - Judge: Was any of that relevant?
461 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense demands that this statement be added to the record.
463 - Judge: Understood. Amend your testimony, witness.
465 - Edgeworth: It does not appear to be meaningful.
466 - Edgeworth: So, witness, what happened next?
471 - Edgeworth: The shoelaces were black?
472 - Meekins: Yes, sir!
473 - Edgeworth: What about the aglets?
474 - Meekins: Aglets?
475 - Edgeworth: Do you not know what they are?
476 - Edgeworth: (In retrospect, I should never have used a word like that.)
477 - Edgeworth: (How would anybody, let alone him, know the word for the plastic end of a shoelace?)
478 - Meekins: No, sir, but do not blame me! It is a byproduct of the failure of my youthful generation, sir!
479 - Meekins: We must be told what to do and what aglets are!
480 - Edgeworth: … Forget it. Just continue, witness.
484 - Edgeworth: How are you so sure about the mask’s material?
485 - Meekins: I have always had skill with recognizing fabrics, sir! Always!
486 - Judge: Now I’m really not sure about letting this witness testify!
487 - Edgeworth: (For once, I have to agree.)
491 - Edgeworth: You’re sure?
492 - Meekins: Yes, sir! I could not be more sure, sir!
493 - Edgeworth: (Never ask him that again. The static may decimate my hearing.)
497 - Edgeworth: Why didn’t you do something about her earlier?
498 - Meekins: Well, she had run by so fast that I wasn’t sure what to do at first. 
499 - Meekins: It wasn’t until I heard the screams that it was clear that she was a robber.
500 - Edgeworth: That makes sense, but can you elaborate on where you stood?
502 - Meekins: Right on that W mark, sir! Right on it!
503 - Edgeworth: I see. Continue.
507 - Edgeworth: Your foot out?
508 - Meekins: Yes, sir. I can explain the technique, if you would wish.
510 - Edgeworth: (Do I want an explanation? Maybe I should ask on something else.)
511 - Edgeworth: Please explain this technique.
512 - Meekins: Well, it is a kung fu technique that I have practiced since I was a youth, sir. A youth!
513 - Judge: Well, that got us nowhere.
514 - Judge: Penalty for wasting time, Mr. Edgeworth!
515 - Edgeworth: (I need to be more careful with what I press.)
516 - Edgeworth: Actually, I would like elaboration on the note.
517 - Meekins: Well, it was a simple hold-up note.
518 - Edgeworth: The previous witness already gave me the basics. 
519 - Edgeworth: I was hoping that you could tell me more about the actual giving of the note.
520 - Meekins: ...
521 - Edgeworth: ?
522 - Meekins: Anyways, the robber came back to the entrance. I had my foot out…
527 - Edgeworth: What did you think would happen?!
528 - Meekins: That she would trip over and I would defeat the robber using my stealth skills, sir!
529 - Edgeworth: (Don’t give him anything else to talk about. It will be less painful that way.)
536 - Edgeworth: Mike Meekins, you stated that the gun used in the robbery was a “simple black pistol”, correct?
537 - Judge: You already pointed out this contradiction. Return to the cross-examination.
538 - Meekins: Yes, sir! I could-
539 - Edgeworth: I regret to inform you that your narrative is impossible.
540 - Meekins: Stop ignoring me!
541 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, what is the meaning of this?
542 - Edgeworth: Just look at the weapon presented by the good detective earlier.
543 - Judge: !
544 - Payne: I-It’s silver!
545 - Edgeworth: Exactly.
546 - Edgeworth: The witness claimed to see a 
547 - black
548 - gun, but the only gun was 
549 - silver
550 - .
551 - Edgeworth: Do you have an explanation for this, Mr. Meekins?!
552 - Meekins: Sir, no sir!
556 - Judge: Order!
557 - Judge: I'm not sure how I feel about this massive mistake of yours, witness!
558 - Phoenix: It does strike me as odd that Meekins would be mistaken about something like this.
559 - Edgeworth: Especially since he saw somebody in black. A black gun would blend in and be hard to see.
560 - Phoenix: Huh. I hadn’t noticed.
561 - Edgeworth: (Why am I not surprised?)
562 - Payne: Your Honor, the witness saw a gun. The color doesn't matter here.
563 - Judge: It may not be important, but I'm sure that this discrepancy troubles me.
564 - Judge: I still have my doubts about this witness, but...
565 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please proceed. I'm not sure how I feel about this testimony quite yet.
568 - Edgeworth: Mr. Meekins, let me confirm this. While you were along the entrance wall...
569 - Edgeworth: ...you stuck your foot out about the time that the hold-up note was given to the teller, yes?
570 - Meekins: Yes, sir!
571 - Edgeworth: Now, where were you specifically?
573 - Meekins: I was right there on the W, sir! I could not be more certain of this fact! I could not!
574 - Edgeworth: While I do not doubt the veracity of that statement, I have one question. 
575 - How did you know that?
577 - Payne: What do you mean, how did he know?! He just looked. There is no contradiction at all.
578 - Edgeworth: Hardly. The defense calls the court’s attention to the map.
580 - Edgeworth: The witness just now placed himself on the W mark.
582 - Edgeworth: How could he have seen the tellers' stations and known when they were given the note?!
583 - Payne: Ah!
584 - Judge: Witness, how did you know that?!
585 - Meekins: Well, sir... The bank had video cameras. 
586 - Meekins: I viewed the footage of the entrance and the tellers at the same time. That was how I knew.
588 - Edgeworth: Then why has this video not been submitted to the court?!
589 - Meekins: Well...
590 - Meekins: I hit delete instead of replay, sir!
591 - Edgeworth: ...
592 - Phoenix: ...
593 - Payne: ...
594 - Meekins: ...
595 - Judge: Unbelievable. What do you have to say aboot this?
596 - Meekins: I’m sorry, sir! My generation is careless and needs to be supervised at all times!
597 - Judge: You, sir, are a hoser.
598 - Judge: Now Mr. Payne, why did you not tell the court aboot this?!
599 - Payne: The prosecution had no idea…
600 - Edgeworth: (That is what comes of having a custodian as the prosecutor.)
601 - Judge: Despite this incompetency, the defense may continue.
603 - Meekins: Actually sir, if I had to label my-
604 - Judge: Get on with it!
605 - Meekins: The frame that I was viewing at the time wasn’t deleted. It showed the robber's entry.
606 - Judge: Then why did you not tell that to the court just now!
607 - Meekins: B-
608 - Judge: Don't answer that! Just submit the evidence!
609 - Camera Data added to the Court Record.
610 - Edgeworth: Need I point out that the build of the person here is completely different from the defendant?
611 - Judge: The defense does have a point...
612 - Payne: Well, that could be changed. Add a bit of padding here, shoes wth thick soles...
613 - Payne: Besides, there's no good reference object, is there?!
614 - Judge: Although I am a bit suspicious, the possibility is undeniable. I cannot accept your logic, Mr. Edgeworth.
615 - Edgeworth: (Hmm… It’s a bit disappointing that I couldn't go further, but it just can't be helped.)
616 - Edgeworth: (It would be worth it to pay close attention to this photograph. All the black can confuse the eyes.)
617 - Edgeworth: (While I'm at it, I should update the map with Meekins' position.)
619 - Floor Plans have been updated in the Court Record.
621 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, get back to the cross-examination! This man may be even worse than that painter!
622 - Judge: This cross-examination has been going on for quite some time now.
623 - Edgeworth: The defense believes that this testimony has been examined in sufficient detail at this point.
624 - Judge: I would like to dismiss the witness at this time, unless either side has any objections to this.
625 - Payne: No objections. The robbery needs no further description.
626 - Edgeworth: (Another cross-examination isn't needed, but if I understand the evidence, we may require him yet.)
628 - Edgeworth: The defense requests that the witness remain on the stand!
629 - Judge: Whatever for?
630 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense believes that the two problems noted earlier combine to form a larger problem.
631 - Judge: Proceed, but do not waste time. I do not want this witness on the stand any longer than necessary.
632 - Edgeworth: Thank you, Your Honor. 
633 - Edgeworth: Now then, the issue was raised in this testimony about the guns that the robber had.
634 - Judge: I seem to recall the witness saying the gun was black, but the gun was actually silver.
635 - Meekins: But I saw a black gun! You have to believe me, sir!
636 - Edgeworth: Anyways, the defense would like to propose an explanation for this.
637 - Phoenix: Are you sure you know what you're doing?
638 - Edgeworth: Quite sure.
640 - Edgeworth: There is one explanation for the problem of the black and silver guns.
641 - Edgeworth: Meekins is mistaken. There’s nothing more to it.
642 - Phoenix: Do you really think that he could make that sort of mistake?
643 - Judge: As unique as this witness is, I do not see how he could have made a mistake of that magnitude.
644 - Edgeworth: Do you see any other possibility?
645 - Judge: No, but I’m not sure that a mistake could explain the witness’s insistence. 
646 - Judge: Unless you have evidence to the contrary, I am going to have to penalize you.
647 - Edgeworth: The gun is not evidence enough?
648 - Judge: No. Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth.
650 - Edgeworth: The defense is of the opinion that there were, in fact, two guns!
651 - Payne: That’s insane! The defense is bluffing.
653 - Edgeworth: Oh? I do have evidence to back this up.
654 - Phoenix: Just make sure you present the right evidence. Giving Payne confidence is a bad idea.
655 - Edgeworth: Have some faith in me, Wright. This is no bluff.
656 - Judge: Alright then. We know there is a silver gun.
658 - Judge: Now, present your proof of a black gun.
659 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the gun changed color!
661 - Payne: Not even the most ridiculous defense attorney would propose that!
662 - Payne: It’s like suggesting that the victim was coerced by the Burger King!
663 - Judge: Objection sustained. 
664 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please think before you make ludicrous suggestions!
665 - Phoenix: Not even I could have pulled that one off.
666 - Edgeworth: (Now to re-gather my thoughts.)
667 - Edgeworth: (The witness saw a black gun, but the one we have is silver.)
668 - Edgeworth: (And if our witness is telling the truth, there's only one reason for that!)
670 - Edgeworth: Here!
671 - Judge: How does that prove the existence of the black gun?
672 - Edgeworth: Is it not obv-
673 - Edgeworth: Oh.
674 - Judge: Penalty!
675 - Edgeworth: (I just need to think this through this… Mike Meekins testified to seeing a black gun.)
676 - Edgeworth: (I am fairly confident that he did, but I need proof of it...  
677 - Edgeworth: And that piece is the proof I need!)
680 - Edgeworth: I present my evidence.
681 - Judge: The frame from the camera data?
682 - Payne: I knew it! The defense is bluffing. The defendant is obviously guilty, Your Honor.
684 - Edgeworth: Since this isn't apparent to the prosecution...
685 - Edgeworth: The defense requests to show the specific part that proves the existence of the gun!
686 - Judge: Very well, but be warned.
687 - Judge: If you bluff, there will be a steep price to pay!
688 - Edgeworth: Here is the proof of the black gun!
690 - Edgeworth: I believe the evidence speaks for itself.
691 - Judge: And what it is telling me is that a penalty is in order!
692 - Payne: I told you, didn’t I? A bluff.
693 - Phoenix: You’ve got to admit, that was pretty pathetic.
694 - Edgeworth: (Focus, Miles! The proof is lying in plain sight, I'm sure of it!)
696 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, please look closely at this point here.
697 - Judge: Why, I think I can see the outline of something! It’s a gun!
698 - Payne: W-What?! B-B-But that’s impossible! 
699 - Payne: There was no need to bring a second gun!
700 - Edgeworth: Although the defense cannot explain this, the proof is undeniable.
701 - Edgeworth: You can see the black gun in this still. That small bit of silver... That is easily the second gun.
702 - Edgeworth: (Although I must admit, I see no reason to bring two guns or only throw away one at this time.)
703 - Judge: Hmm...
704 - Judge: Witness, how did you even see that black gun?
705 - Meekins: I have very good eyesight, sir!
706 - Meekins: When training to be an officer, I was often complimented on it, sir!
707 - Edgeworth: (For lack of anything substantive, no doubt.)
708 - Meekins: I just missed the silver gun, I guess.
709 - Phoenix: If anybody would, it would be him.
710 - Edgeworth: Or Gumshoe. 
711 - Edgeworth: (I had best note this in the Court Record.)
713 - Gun updated in the Court Record.
714 - Judge: Unless there is anything else, then I would like to dismiss the witness at this time.
715 - Edgeworth: The defense has no further questions for this witness...
716 - Edgeworth: ...but we are not done with issues that arise from this camera shot!
717 - Judge: There’s more?!
718 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor. There is a contradiction within the evidence.
719 - Judge: A contradiction within the evidence?
720 - Edgeworth: Two pieces of evidence contradict each other. One is the same camera data I showed earlier.
721 - Payne: The prosecution still maintains that the defense is bluffing!
722 - Edgeworth: (I haven’t even said what the contradiction is yet!)
723 - Judge: Calm down, Mr. Payne! The defense hasn’t even said what the contradiction is yet! 
724 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please show the court this contradiction.
726 - Judge: What part of this photo contradicts the evidence?
728 - Edgeworth: As you can see here, this part of the photograph contradicts the autopsy report!
729 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, there is no autopsy report.
730 - Edgeworth: And that is the contradiction!
731 - Judge: You are a contradiction! Penalty!
732 - Phoenix: What was that?
733 - Edgeworth: I was just doing what you always do. 
734 - Edgeworth: Select somewhere completely irrelevant and make a wild claim about it.
735 - Phoenix: The difference is that I’m right.
736 - Edgeworth: (He’s right, even if he is a hypocrite. I need to focus.)
737 - Edgeworth: (There is a contradiction in two pieces of the evidence.)
738 - Edgeworth: (Before I expose the problem, I need to know what the contradiction is myself.)
739 - Edgeworth: (And I know that the camera data is involved, so this leads me to conclude…)
741 - Edgeworth: Mr. Payne, could you please inform the court on why criminals so often wear gloves?
742 - Payne: You don’t know? Rookie. 
743 - Payne: Smart criminals wear gloves so that they don’t leave behind fingerprints.
744 - Payne: Of course, it seems like your client was not so lucky.
745 - Edgeworth: Oh, really? 
746 - Edgeworth: Then perhaps you should look at the shot from the camera again. 
747 - Edgeworth: You can very clearly see that the robber was wearing gloves.
748 - Judge: Odd.
749 - Judge: I was sure that the robber was not wearing gloves for some reason.
750 - Edgeworth: Then allow me to remove that idea from your mind, Your Honor.
752 - Edgeworth: I have proof that those gloves were worn for at least most of this theft.
755 - Edgeworth: I present to you my evidence.
756 - Judge: Hmm… I no longer have any doubts.
757 - Edgeworth: Really, Your Honor?
758 - Judge: I am very certain that you have no clue what you are saying!
759 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth!
760 - Edgeworth: Wait, Your Honor!
761 - Edgeworth: I simply grabbed the wrong piece! Give me another chance!
764 - Edgeworth: I direct your attention to the hold-up note.
765 - Payne: But there’s nothing important on it!
766 - Edgeworth: Precisely.
767 - Payne: ?
768 - Edgeworth: Let us assume that the defendant is the robber and did not wear gloves.
769 - Edgeworth: Why are her prints nowhere to be found?
771 - Payne: Aaaaaaaagggghhhh!
772 - Judge: The defense raises a valid point. Mr. Payne, do you have a response that uses words?
773 - Payne: Um... Well...
774 - Judge: Those are not words, Mr. Payne.
775 - Payne: The prints were wiped! Yes, that's it! The prints were wiped from the note!
777 - Edgeworth: This is a piece of paper. How does one wipe fingerprints from that? Besides, why not wipe the gun?
778 - Payne: Gah!
779 - Judge: In which case, the prosecution cannot refute the defense.
780 - Judge: Although I must ask... What was the importance of these prints, eh?
781 - Edgeworth: (Have you not been paying any attention?!)
782 - Edgeworth: As I was saying...
784 - Edgeworth: The fingerprints are important because of this, the evidence they contradict!
786 - Edgeworth: This proves the matter beyond a doubt.
787 - Judge: Your lack of grey matter, perhaps!
788 - Judge: Penalty!
789 - Edgeworth: W-Wait!
790 - Edgeworth: I can prove it!
792 - Judge: The gun?
793 - Edgeworth: Yes. The detective testified quite specifically that the defendant’s fingerprints were on the gun. 
794 - Judge: So he did, but what does that have to do with anything?
795 - Edgeworth: (Must I spell everything out?)
797 - Edgeworth: The defendant's fingerprints were on the gun, but the robber wore gloves. This clearly tells us...
798 - Edgeworth: How the prints got in the gun at all.
799 - Judge: How is that affected at all?
800 - Edgeworth: The prosecution's theory is that the prints were left during the robbery.
801 - Judge: Correct.
802 - Edgeworth: It is now self-evident that this is an impossibility...
803 - Edgeworth: Unless the prosecution would be kind enough to explain how one leaves fingerprints through gloves!
804 - Edgeworth: The prints are irrelevant.
805 - Judge: I don’t follow.
806 - Edgeworth: It's easy when you think about it. 
807 - Edgeworth: Why were those fingerprints even related to the case in the first place?
808 - Judge: Because they were on the weapon used to commit the robbery.
809 - Edgeworth: Precisely. And now that we know the killer wore gloves, those prints are totally irrelevant.
810 - Judge: ...
811 - Edgeworth: They have no relation to the case. At all.
812 - Judge: Penalty!
813 - Judge: Refrain from making such hasty decisions.
814 - Edgeworth: Whose prints are on the gun!
815 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
816 - Edgeworth: ?
817 - Payne: You’re out of your league, rookie.
818 - Edgeworth: Then please, show me where I differ from the evidence, Mr. Payne.
819 - Judge: He doesn't have to. What effect what gloves have on whose fingerprints were left, eh?
820 - Payne: Maybe the gloves summoned the evidence fairy!
821 - Judge: I don't know how I feel about that...
822 - Judge: Where was I?
823 - Edgeworth: Giving me another chance?
824 - Judge: Oh, right.
825 - Judge: Penalty!
826 - Edgeworth: Ngooohh!
827 - Edgeworth: (I just need to think through this rationally, and then the truth will burst forth as a flower!)
828 - Edgeworth: Your Honor...
829 - Payne: Aaaaagggghhhh!
830 - Edgeworth: Even Mr. Payne admitted earlier that criminals wear gloves to hide fingerprints.
834 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, just what is the meaning of this?!
835 - Edgeworth: Those prints were not left during the robbery. Ergo, they do not incriminate the defendant!
836 - Judge: Mr. Payne, your decisive evidence has been shot down, and that was only the second cross-examination!
837 - Payne: Not necessarily...
838 - Payne: The defendant could have left those prints while handling the gun before the robbery.
839 - Judge: She left those prints...
840 - Edgeworth: Before the robbery?!
842 - Edgeworth: As a magician, the defendant would always wear gloves. It's a magician's trademark!
844 - Payne: All it would take is one time to leave those prints, rookie.
845 - Phoenix: Good show, but I think Payne has a valid point for once.
846 - Judge: The prosecution has a valid point, and we will proceed unless the defense has a counterargument.
848 - Judge: Does the defense have a rebuttal to the theory that the prints were left while preparing for the crime?
849 - Edgeworth: (The momentum that I have worked so hard to acquire...)
850 - Edgeworth: (I refuse to let this amateur tear it asunder!)
851 - Edgeworth: The defense has a response!
852 - Payne: Impossible!
853 - Phoenix: Are you sure about this?
854 - Edgeworth: Of course. It’s just a matter of bringing the contradiction in his claim into the open.
856 - Edgeworth: The defense exhibits its rebuttal through this piece of evidence!
858 - Judge: This evidence exhibits no rebuttal.
859 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth.
860 - Judge: I will ask one more time.
861 - Edgeworth: The defense has no response at this time.
862 - Judge: Hmm...
863 - Judge: In this case, the trial will continue. The prosecution may call its witness.
864 - Phoenix: Stay sharp, Edgeworth. Payne's case is in tatters, but it's still alive. And I know Payne.
865 - Phoenix: He lives to make defendants look guilty, even if he does a terrible job at it.
866 - Edgeworth: How is that even possible?
867 - Phoenix: Have you not been paying attention during this trial? He hasn’t exactly lived up to your standards.
868 - Edgeworth: I thought he was a janitor at the Prosecutor’s Office!
870 - Phoenix: Maybe he should be. Regardless, Payne is likely betting everything on his witness.
871 - Phoenix: He likes describing the crime more than proving the witness’s guilt, so he loves eyewitnesses.
872 - Phoenix: To turn this trial around, you need to find any flaw you can in this next testimony!
873 - Edgeworth: ("Prosecutor" Payne, my job here is to find the truth.)
874 - Edgeworth: (If your witness intends to hide that truth from me, I shall have no mercy upon you or your case.)
875 - Payne: The prosecution calls Dee Jordur, its decisive witness.
877 - Payne: Witness, please give your name and profession to the court.
878 - Jordur: Dee Jordur. Part-time keyboarder at the Wonder Bar and student of the culinary arts. 
879 - Problem?
880 - Edgeworth: ...
881 - Judge: ...
882 - Phoenix: ...
883 - Payne: ...
884 - Jordur: Good. I’ll get on with the testimony.
885 - Judge: Not so fast, witness.
886 - Judge: Mr. Payne, can you explain the, well, behavior of this witness?
887 - Jordur: Are you saying you got a problem with it?!
888 - Judge: No! No! Mr. Payne, help!
889 - Payne: What are you looking at me for?!
890 - Judge: You called her!
891 - Payne: You asked me to!
892 - Edgeworth: (Don’t be so easily intimidated, you two. If all else fails, a chilly glare always cools a raging witness.)
893 - Edgeworth: (Really, you haven't even asked the witness the obvious question.)
894 - Edgeworth: Witness, the court has one question before you proceed.
895 - Jordur: ?
896 - Edgeworth: What will you testify about?
897 - Jordur: Seeing magic girl over there run off with the money. Duh.
898 - Judge: You saw the defendant's getaway?!
899 - Jordur: Yep.
903 - Judge: Order, order!
904 - Judge: This is an important piece of testimony.
905 - Payne: Did you honestly think that I would indict anybody, let alone a little girl, if I didn’t have proof?!
906 - Payne: This is the trial where my luck changes. You’ve exhausted your supply of tricks, Edgeworth!
907 - Payne: This is a chessboard, and you spent all your effort trying to capture some pawns.
908 - Payne: I’m going in for the king!
909 - Edgeworth: (I would inform him that pawns can transform to queens, but the significance would be lost on him.)
910 - Judge: Let's not waste any more time.
912 - Judge: Witness, begin your testimony.

917 - Jordur: N
918 - Special sprite: ight of the robbery, I’m walking home after a Wonder Bar show.
919 - Jordur: I 
920 - Special sprite: hear something and turn around to see the jerk who disrupted the tranquility of my peaceful walk!
921 - Jordur: I 
922 - Special sprite: clearly see magic-girl, overbearing as ever in those clothes of hers...
923 - Jordur: S
924 - Special sprite: he had some sack of something behind her. Oh yeah, and she had a gun.
925 - Jordur: I 
926 - Special sprite: ask what she’s doing, since she wasn't scheduled at the bar, but she just runs past me.
927 - Jordur: S
928 - Special sprite: he mutters to herself stuff like "mask", "police," "bank," and "run." I couldn’t hear it all.
929 - Jordur: I 
930 - Special sprite: thought nothing of it ‘til I heard about the robbery. Then I called the cops.
931 - Judge: There's one point I'm confused aboot.
932 - Jordur: Yes, Gramps?
933 - Judge: Why were you so sure that the defendant’s actions were linked to the robbery?
934 - Jordur: What are you, deaf? Senile? Stupid from birth?!
935 - Judge: I’m not sure that I care for your attitude.
936 - Jordur: Whatever.
937 - Jordur: In answer to your question, I pieced it all together. 
938 - Jordur: Mention of a bank and the police, a large sack, a gun, frantic running, she fit the body profile…
939 - Judge: Hmm…
940 - Judge: It would be hard to draw any other conclusion from that.
941 - Jordur: And it will also be hard not to have deduced that the first time I said that!
942 - Payne: Now, witne-
943 - Jordur: Shut up. All I want is to get this done.
944 - Jordur: I have a rehearsal today, and I am not letting this freak’s trial take me from it.
945 - Judge: Mr. Payne, control your witness!
946 - Payne: Err… This was a condition of the witness’s invaluable testimony.
947 - Judge: A condition?
948 - Payne: She wouldn’t cooperate otherwise, and it’s clear how important her testimony is for the prosecution.
949 - Payne: It is hard to draw any conclusion from this other than that the defendant had robbed a bank. 
950 - Payne: And as this was the only bank robbed...
951 - Payne: The defendant did it, and this testimony proves it!
952 - Payne: She held that gun up to the teller and took the money to get rich and impress boys.
953 - Phoenix: Most people aren’t impressed by such superficialities and look for something a bit deeper. 
954 - Phoenix: Except you, Payne. You never look deeper.
955 - Payne: !
956 - Judge: The defense may begin the cross- examination. 
957 - Judge: Preferably before the prosecution and the defense’s co-counsel get into a row, eh?
958 - Jordur: Or before Longbeard over there gets any more pompous. Really, he thinks he's in charge here.
959 - Phoenix: Careful, Edgeworth. This witness is a bit volatile.
960 - Edgeworth: (You don't say?)

967 - Jordur: Night of the robbery, I’m walking home after a Wonder Bar show.
968 - Jordur: I hear something and turn around to see the jerk who disrupted the tranquility of my peaceful walk!
969 - Jordur: I clearly see magic-girl, overbearing as ever in those clothes of hers...
970 - Jordur: She had some sack of something behind her. Oh yeah, and she had a gun.
971 - Jordur: I ask what she’s doing, since she wasn't scheduled at the bar, but she just runs past me.
972 - Jordur: She mutters to herself stuff like "mask", "police," "bank," and "run." I couldn’t hear it all.
973 - Jordur: I thought nothing of it ‘til I heard about the robbery. Then I called the cops.
976 - Edgeworth: There are no contradictions that are popping out at me.
977 - Phoenix: Then you’ll have to look for the contradictions that aren’t as obvious.
978 - Edgeworth: Such as?
979 - Phoenix: You’re the lawyer, not me.
980 - Edgeworth: (By which you mean that you have absolutely no idea.)
981 - Edgeworth: (Well, I suppose that a long hard look at the evidence is in order.)
982 - Edgeworth: (And also... Can't Wright be bothered to look at me when he's talking to me?!)
986 - Edgeworth: Could you please speak more on this show?
987 - Jordur: I played the keyboard.
988 - Edgeworth: ...  
989 - Jordur: ...  
990 - Edgeworth: … Don’t you have anything else to say on the matter?
991 - Jordur: Not really, no.
992 - Edgeworth: Let me try a different approach. When did the show end?
993 - Jordur: Midnight. Clean-up took 15 minutes, so the time was 12:20.
994 - Payne: Which would put her on-track to have seen the defendant shortly after the robbery.
995 - Edgeworth: (As much as I disagree with what Mr. Payne is trying to imply...)
996 - Edgeworth: (...I don't have the evidence I need to argue with him just yet.
1000 - Edgeworth: The tranquility of your walk?
1001 - Jordur: What?! You don’t believe that a girl needs some quiet alone time?
1002 - Edgeworth: That isn’t what I-
1003 - Jordur: Meant? Oh, of course it was! All you defense attorneys are the same.
1004 - Edgeworth: (Odd reaction.)
1005 - Jordur: If you must know, I was rather stressed after that performance.
1006 - Judge: Very well. Now, what did you see when you turned around?
1010 - Edgeworth: Those clothes of hers?
1011 - Jordur: What are you, blind?!
1012 - Jordur: On second thought, it might be that the defendant is so ugly that you can’t bear to look at her. 
1013 - Jordur: That makes sense, actually.
1015 - Edgeworth: The defense objects to this witness’s uncalled for insulting of the defendant.
1016 - Jordur: Cool it, pinkie! I'm leaving if I can't say what I want.
1017 - Edgeworth: Then we can get a subpoena. 
1018 - Edgeworth: Nothing will stop me in my pursuit of the truth, not even your threats!
1019 - Judge: Calm down, both of you!
1020 - Judge: Now witness, please answer the question.
1021 - Jordur: Right, the clothes.
1022 - Jordur: Trucy is such a snob, always wearing that magician’s get-up as if she’s better than the rest of us. 
1023 - Jordur: It would be inexcusable even if it was a good look.
1024 - Edgeworth: (So she doesn’t like Trucy’s wardrobe. How informative.)
1028 - Edgeworth: Please describe this gun in detail.
1029 - Jordur: What is there to describe? A gun is a gun.
1030 - Edgeworth: Well-
1031 - Jordur: Oh wait!
1032 - Jordur: You want model, 
1033 - if it had been fired recently, 
1034 - how many bullets, 
1035 - what age it was, 
1036 - any fingerprints...
1037 - Jordur: Am I right?
1038 - Edgeworth: All I wanted was the color.
1039 - Jordur: Fine. It was black and shiny. Unlike you, who seems rather dull!
1040 - Payne: This just proves the credibility of the witness. She saw the black gun, exactly like she should.
1041 - Edgeworth: Are you sure about this, witness?
1042 - Jordur: No, I testified in a court of law about something that I had no intention of standing by.
1043 - Edgeworth: So that’s a yes.
1044 - Jordur: Maybe.
1045 - Edgeworth: ...
1046 - Phoenix: Just hang in there, Edgeworth. All you need is to find a contradiction.
1047 - Edgeworth: Which is quite difficult when I can’t get a straight answer from her.
1051 - Edgeworth: She wasn’t scheduled?
1052 - Jordur: Are you a parrot, or just stupid? I said she wasn’t scheduled, so she wasn’t scheduled!
1053 - Edgeworth: I was hoping that you could elaborate on this.
1054 - Jordur: You were, were you?
1055 - Edgeworth: … What do you mean when you say that she wasn’t scheduled?
1056 - Jordur: She wasn’t supposed to perform at the Wonder Bar that night!
1057 - Jordur: I thought it was odd that she was in the area, so I asked her about it!
1058 - Jordur: Is that so suspicious?! Anything odd or confusing?!
1059 - Payne: The prosecution can confirm that the defendant did not have any performances that night. 
1060 - Payne: Neither does the defendant argue this.
1061 - Jordur: Jeez, it takes you a while to learn.
1062 - Edgeworth: Why did you notice when she ran?
1063 - Jordur: I asked her a question, but she didn’t even acknowledge that I was there! 
1064 - Jordur: Can you imagine anybody who could be that rude?
1065 - Edgeworth: The defense declines to comment.
1066 - Jordur: That was a comment!
1067 - Judge: Noted. Now, if the witness would explain what happened next?
1071 - Edgeworth: Why couldn’t you hear that well?
1072 - Jordur: For starters, she was running past me. She wouldn’t have been in earshot for very long.
1073 - Edgeworth: Oh.
1074 - Jordur: And then there is the matter that she had been running for quite some time!
1075 - Jordur: She was out of breath and couldn’t speak very loudly! What did you expect?!
1076 - Edgeworth: Well-
1077 - Jordur: Oh, I’m not finished!
1078 - Jordur: She wasn’t trying to be heard, remember? 
1079 - Jordur: What idiot would yell “I have to run from the police because I robbed a bank” when somebody could hear?
1080 - Jordur: Do you have a good explanation for why you decided to waste my time with this question of yours?!
1081 - Judge: That’s enough. We all know why you couldn’t hear the robber that well. 
1082 - Judge: Now, unless the defense has any more questions on this statement, which I doubt...
1083 - Judge: ...please continue the testimony.
1087 - Edgeworth: Why did you not call the police immediately?
1088 - Jordur: Well...
1089 - Edgeworth: (If I want to change the topic, now is the time. I do not want this witness losing control completely.)
1091 - Jordur: Take a guess, nimrod! It doesn’t even take a single second’s worth of thought!
1092 - Jordur: I was tired and I had no crime to tie her to!
1093 - Jordur: You don’t go crying robber unless you know there’s a robbery! 
1094 - Jordur: What I saw was not evidence of a robbery, only that if one had occurred, she had probably done it!
1095 - Jordur: If there was a lawyer hiding evidence, then I would turn you in, but I can't prove your guilt...
1096 - Jordur: So I am not going to be reporting you to the police, however much you deserve it!
1097 - Jordur: You are without a doubt the least intelligent person that I have ever met!
1098 - Jordur: And I have met plenty of dumb people, the defendant included!
1099 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth… 
1100 - Judge: You can’t rile up the witness like that! Learn to be more cautious in the future! Penalty!
1101 - Edgeworth: (He’s right. I need to be careful with a witness like this, who will explode at the least trifle.)
1103 - Edgeworth: On second thought, it’s obvious why you didn’t inform them at the time. My apologies for asking.
1104 - Jordur: Thanks for admitting it for once, pinkie.
1105 - Edgeworth: Now, what did you do after your encounter with the defendant, but before you called the police?
1106 - Edgeworth: You never explained that in your testimony.
1107 - Jordur: Did you even have to ask? I went to my apartment and went to bed.
1108 - Jordur: It was late, and I get angry when I don’t get enough sleep!
1109 - Edgeworth: (And we would hate to see you angry, wouldn’t we?)
1116 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur...
1117 - Jordur: Don’t you start, pinkie! I don’t want to hear one word out of you! The sooner this ends, the better!
1119 - Edgeworth: In which case, I highly advise that you stop lying to the court.
1120 - Jordur: L-Lying?!
1121 - Edgeworth: You said that you saw “magic-girl, overbearing as ever in those clothes of hers,” referring to-
1122 - Jordur: The defendant in her nonsense magician costume, yeah, yeah. We all heard me.
1123 - Edgeworth: Then perhaps you should hear this.
1124 - The robber was not wearing a magician's attire!
1125 - Edgeworth: We have camera data, a witness and a police report that all say one thing!
1126 - Edgeworth: The robber was wearing all black, not any magician’s uniform!
1127 - Jordur: WHAT?!
1128 - Judge: Witness, this is a serious oversight! How do you explain this?
1129 - Jordur: Well, I, uh...
1130 - Edgeworth: This testimony proves that my client was the criminal?
1131 - You’re going in for the king?
1132 - Edgeworth: Hollow bluffs, and nothing more. Your witness is a sham, Payne!
1133 - Payne: A-Ack!
1136 - Edgeworth:  
1137 - Judge:  
1138 - Phoenix:  
1139 - Payne:  
1140 - Jordur: Being a bit too hasty on this one, aren’t you, pinkie?
1141 - Edgeworth: I don’t follow.
1142 - Jordur: Oh, I’m not surprised. Not in the slightest. You look like the slow type to me. 
1143 - Jordur: Anyways, the explanation for this "contradiction" is incredibly simple.
1144 - Jordur: Let’s say that you were in the bank during the robbery. The robber is gone. What now?
1145 - Edgeworth: Call the police and tell them to be on the lookout for-
1146 - Edgeworth: No!
1147 - Jordur: A woman wearing black.
1148 - Jordur: If you were a cop investigating this, why even bother with some weird illusionist wearing blue?
1150 - Edgeworth: But where did the magician's clothes come from, and where did the robber's clothes go?
1151 - Jordur: Dunno. My guess is the crime was planned and she changed in some warehouse or old building.
1152 - Jordur: She put her blue clothes there in advance of the crime, shook the cops, and changed in there.
1153 - Jordur: Maybe she doubled back and stowed the cash there too.
1154 - Jordur: It's the only way things make sense, 'cuz I'm sure of what I saw.
1155 - Jordur: Believe me, I’m sure of what I saw.
1156 - Jordur: She ran under the streetlight and tripped, giving me more than enough time and light to look.
1157 - Jordur: I even talked to her when she was on the ground! I couldn't have more easily identified her and the getup.
1158 - Edgeworth: Yes, but… But…  
1159 - Edgeworth: (There’s nothing I can say! This is entirely possible!)
1160 - Jordur: Cat got your tongue, pinkie? 
1161 - Jordur: Face it. Your case is crumbling like a shoddy soufflé. Your precious contradiction is nothing but dust.
1162 - Jordur: There’s no problem in my testimony. At all. 
1163 - Jordur: Now if you’d please, I do need to get to rehearsal sometime today, gramps.
1164 - Judge: Hmm…
1165 - Judge: I do see little doubt in this case. Evidence and testimony both point squarely at the defendant. 
1166 - Judge: Her fingerprints on the gun are extraordinarily solid, even if they were left before the murder. 
1167 - Judge: The witness’s testimony could not be clearer in how it points blame at the defendant for this robbery.
1168 - Judge: And considering the witness’s schedule and, well, her temperament...
1169 - Judge: I am inclined to dismiss the witness at this time. 
1170 - Judge: That is, unless the defense sees any merit in further testimony.
1171 - Edgeworth: (What do I say?! If I don’t ask for another testimony, I don’t see how I can continue this trial.)
1172 - Edgeworth: (But, if I do ask for another testimony, I might not be able to find anything...)
1173 - Edgeworth: (...and I might be asked to give grounds for another testimony.)
1174 - Edgeworth: (And at this time, there is no reason for another testimony!)
1175 - Edgeworth: (Every instinct I have as a prosecutor is telling me to give in and accept my defendant’s guilt.)
1176 - Edgeworth: (I have no proof of innocence, and even if she is a child, she could be another Dahlia Hawthorne.)
1177 - Edgeworth: (I swore to Wright that I would get Trucy a not guilty, but what if this contradicts the truth?)
1178 - Judge: Your response, Mr. Edgeworth?
1179 - Phoenix: ...
1180 - Edgeworth: (I can't act rashly. Don't even blink unless you're assured of the truth.)
1181 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense requests…
1182 - Edgeworth: The defense requests further testimony!
1184 - Payne: Your Honor, the defense is just bluffing at this point! 
1185 - Payne: I’m sure you can agree that more testimony would be pointless!
1186 - Judge: Hmm...
1188 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, we have only been through three cross-examinations!
1189 - Edgeworth: Decisive contradictions have appeared through these examinations of the testimony.
1191 - Payne: Decisive?! All the contradictions were explained!
1192 - Phoenix: You’ve got to admit, for three cross-examinations, that’s pretty good for him.
1193 - Jordur: Pinkie, do you have no respect, at all, for my busy schedule?!
1195 - Edgeworth: Do you have no respect for finding the truth and not incarcerating an innocent?!
1196 - Jordur: Innocent? Hmph. An illusion. Nobody is really “innocent.” 
1197 - Jordur: Whether she did it or not, and believe me she did, that creep deserves this punishment!
1198 - Judge: Hmm...
1199 - Edgeworth: You can’t honestly believe that!
1200 - Edgeworth: If we were so careless in applying the law, then who knows what would happen?
1201 - Jordur: A person like you could never understand.
1202 - Edgeworth: You're totally insane!
1203 - Jordur: Call me what you will. The point is that I am not testifying again unless I have a good reason!
1204 - Judge: Hmm...
1205 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, you look conflicted.
1206 - Judge: I am not convinced that additional testimony is needed at this point...
1207 - Judge: ...but closing a trial after three cross-examinations is premature. 
1209 - Judge: I have made my decision!
1210 - Judge: The defense will be allowed to present one and only one piece of evidence.
1211 - Judge: The defense may use this to demonstrate either another contradiction in this case...
1212 - Judge: ...or some point of importance that has not been given the attention warranted in this trial.
1213 - Edgeworth: (That rules out every contradiction I’ve exposed so far.)
1214 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, I believe in you.
1215 - Edgeworth: How helpful.
1217 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, present evidence that this case needs further attention or accept a guilty verdict.
1220 - Edgeworth: (This is it. This is the point where this trial begins to transform entirely!)
1221 - Judge: What am I looking at?
1222 - Edgeworth: Evidence, Your Honor.
1223 - Edgeworth: Evidence that proves that the three cross-examinations so far have been inadequate at best!
1224 - Judge: I’m sorry Mr. Edgeworth, but the only thing that is inadequate is your skill.
1225 - Judge: Ultimate penalty!
1226 - Edgeworth: The defense does not request further testimony.
1227 - Judge: What?! The defense is giving up?!
1228 - Payne: Did you expect anything else, once they realized that their client was obviously guilty?
1229 - Jordur: Finally, you admit defeat. It took you long enough.
1231 - Edgeworth: Please, let a man finish his statement.
1232 - Edgeworth: The defense has no intent of giving up at this critical juncture.
1234 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense requests something else entirely. This, in fact!
1235 - Edgeworth: The defense requests to repeat that last cross-examination!
1236 - Judge: Was your first cross-examination lacking in any way?
1237 - Edgeworth: Well, no, but… But…
1238 - Payne: Hmph. Amateur.
1239 - Edgeworth: The defense requests to change our request.
1240 - Judge: Very well, but this court does not take very kindly to wasting time.
1241 - Judge: Penalty!
1242 - Judge: Now, why did you reject a new testimony from this witness?
1243 - Edgeworth: The defense requests to cross- examine these new statements.
1244 - Judge: New statements?
1245 - Edgeworth: Were you not paying attention after that cross-examination? 
1246 - Edgeworth: The witness made a number of statements that have not yet been cross-examined.
1247 - Edgeworth: The defense wishes to cross-examine these new statements!
1248 - Edgeworth: The defense requests a plea deal!
1249 - Edgeworth: My client is indeed guilty. It is in her best interests to accept this in exchange for a reduced sentence.
1250 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?! This is my daughter!
1251 - Judge: So the defense would like to change its mind, eh?
1252 - Edgeworth: (What was I thinking?! Trucy can’t be guilty!) 
1253 - Edgeworth: That was a slip of the tongue.
1254 - Judge: And that was a slip of my gavel. 
1255 - Judge: Now, why do you not want further testimony?
1257 - Payne: The defense is being absurd! 
1258 - Payne: The statements made by the witness can’t possibly contain any significant information.
1259 - Payne: This is just stalling in hopes that the defense will think of some new way to confuse the court.
1261 - Edgeworth: All the defense is asking is to cross-examine the witness. Is that so much to ask?
1262 - Payne: Yes! Yes it is!
1264 - Edgeworth: Those statements contain entirely new information!
1265 - Edgeworth: How can you say there is no need to cross-examine those statements?
1266 - Edgeworth: It would make a mockery of justice not to examine them fully!
1267 - Payne: Ack!
1268 - Judge: Hmm…
1269 - Judge: Although I do see some value in cross-examining those statements...
1270 - Judge: I am not sure what this will actually accomplish.
1271 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, I am going to permit this, but on one condition.
1272 - Edgeworth: Yes?
1273 - Judge: There is very little doubt of the defendant’s guilt, our witness has somewhere to be, and frankly...
1274 - Judge: ...this is the first time that Mr. Payne has done anywhere near this well in quite some time. 
1275 - Judge: I am allowing this only because there is new information, irrelevant as it may seem to me.
1276 - Judge: If you press the witness or present evidence that does not show a contradiction...
1277 - Judge: ...then I will be forced to end the trial immediately. Do I make myself clear?
1278 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor.
1279 - Edgeworth: (So much for not making a mockery of justice.)
1280 - Judge: Good.
1282 - Judge: Now then, witness. Please repeat the statements you made earlier.
1283 - Jordur: Whatever will make the defense look like an idiot, "Your Honor."

1289 - Jordur: rucy ran under a streetlight, so I could see her easily. 
1290 - Jordur: B
1291 - Jordur: efore you say anything, she tripped, so I had plenty of time to look. 
1292 - Jordur: I 
1293 - Jordur: talked to her when she fell. The running and muttering came after she got up.
1294 - Jordur: O
1295 - Jordur: n top of that, your contradiction does not exist. She was wearing her full magician's outfit. 
1296 - Jordur: M
1297 - Jordur: y best guess is she changed at some old building, where she had hid her clothes earlier. 
1298 - Jordur: R
1299 - Jordur: egardless of how she did it, it couldn't have been easier to identify her.
1300 - Judge: The defense may begin the cross- examination, but be warned that time-wasting will not be tolerated.

1307 - Jordur: Trucy ran under a streetlight, so I could see her easily. 
1308 - Jordur: Before you say anything, she tripped, so I had plenty of time to look. 
1309 - Jordur: I talked to her when she fell. The running and muttering came after she got up.
1310 - Jordur: On top of that, your contradiction does not exist. She was wearing her full magician's outfit. 
1311 - Jordur: My best guess is she changed at some old building, where she had hid her clothes earlier. 
1312 - Jordur: Regardless of how she did it, it couldn't have been easier to identify her.
1315 - Edgeworth: Well, any hints?
1316 - Phoenix: Press the statement about gloves.
1317 - Edgeworth: This isn't the DeMasque trial!
1318 - Phoenix: Oh, right.
1319 - Phoenix: Well, if things happened as she says, then a few other things would happen. 
1320 - Phoenix: Maybe you should focus on evidence that contradicts the implications of her testimony.
1321 - Edgeworth: That’s actually useful advice. 
1322 - Edgeworth: (Now it’s just a matter of using it. There has to be a contradiction in this testimony somewhere!)
1326 - Edgeworth: I was wond-
1327 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1328 - Judge: I’m sorry Mr. Edgeworth, but I did warn you. I am afraid that I will have to end the trial at this point.
1332 - Edgeworth: I have to ask-
1333 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1334 - Judge: I regret this, but I did tell you. Mr. Edgeworth, this trial is over.
1338 - Edgeworth: I must inquire as to-
1339 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1340 - Judge: I did not want to do this Edgeworth, but you should have known better.
1341 - Judge: I must hand down my verdict at this time.
1345 - Edgeworth: I have a query-
1346 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1347 - Judge: I was hoping we could avoid this, but apparently not. Mr. Edgeworth, you lose.
1351 - Edgeworth: I am going to question you on-
1352 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1353 - Judge: My sincerest apologies, but it is high time this trial ended. Penalty!
1357 - Edgeworth: I have an enquiry on that st-
1358 - Jordur: Not anymore! Judge, your move!
1359 - Judge: I am not sure how I feel about this, but…
1360 - Judge: Your client's fate is sealed! Penalty!
1364 - Edgeworth: The defense has found a contra-
1365 - Jordur: Yo pinkie! I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but you are the dumbest lawyer of all time.
1366 - Jordur: Of all time!
1367 - Judge: The contradiction, Mr. Edgeworth?
1368 - Edgeworth: We all know that Sean Stryker is the real dumbest lawyer of all time!
1369 - Judge: True, but irrelevant! Penalty!
1373 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur, it seems that I owe you an apology.
1374 - Jordur: For what?
1375 - Jordur: Wasting my time with this idiotic cross-examination?
1376 - Accusing me of lying?
1377 - Jordur: Calling me a sham?
1378 - All those moronic questions?
1379 - Defending that freakish magician?
1380 - Edgeworth: None of those, surprisingly.
1381 - Jordur: Oh, I missed some stupid thing you did?
1382 - Jordur: Considering how many there are, I’m not too terribly surprised.
1384 - Edgeworth: On the contrary, the apology is for giving you hope by not noticing earlier the stupid thing you did!
1385 - Jordur: What?!
1386 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, what is the meaning of this?! I will not have you infuriating the witness! 
1387 - Judge: Have you forgotten that you could only present one piece of evidence?
1388 - Edgeworth: The meaning of “this” is rather simple. 
1389 - Edgeworth: This witness’s testimony is the biggest contradiction that I have ever seen as a lawyer!
1391 - Payne: The defense is bluffing, Your Honor!
1393 - Edgeworth: The prosecution is the one bluffing! 
1394 - Edgeworth: How can they accuse the defense of bluffing before I have even had the time to present my theory?
1395 - Judge: I agree with the defense. Objection overruled for now, Mr. Payne. 
1396 - Judge: Now, Mr. Edgeworth, please explain this “massive contradiction” to the court.
1397 - Judge: I see nothing wrong aboot this testimony.
1398 - Edgeworth: The witness said that she saw the witness trip as she was running.
1399 - Edgeworth: One glance at the crime report will tell you that this is nothing if not impossible!
1400 - Jordur: What?!
1401 - Edgeworth: First, let us consider what would have happened to Trucy had she have actually fallen. 
1402 - Edgeworth: If she “ran past you” as you said, then she would have been running on the sidewalk, correct?
1403 - Jordur: Yeah. So what?
1404 - Edgeworth: And yet according to this crime report, the defendant did not have a single injury! 
1405 - Edgeworth: How do you take a fall onto solid asphalt at a high speed, but not get so much as a skinned knee?
1406 - Jordur: Well…
1407 - Edgeworth: Contradiction number two. You said that the defendant was wearing her full magician’s attire.
1408 - Edgeworth: This includes her top hat, clearly.
1409 - Judge: Of course. The defendant is a magician, and a top hat is just one of a magician’s many tools.
1410 - Edgeworth: The history of top hats aside, what would happen if a person tripped while wearing one?
1411 - Judge: Why, the hat would either roll off or be horribly deformed from the impact!
1412 - Edgeworth: And yet, your testimony didn't mention the hat rolling. Neither is the hat deformed.
1413 - Jordur: She got another hat!
1414 - Phoenix: Actually, she only had one spare and it's in perfect condition.
1416 - Payne: We can’t trust the defendant’s father, of all people!
1417 - Edgeworth: Oh, I agree. That is why I propose that we have the police look for any additional hats. 
1418 - Payne: Urk…
1419 - Edgeworth: Now then, problem number three. 
1420 - Edgeworth: You mentioned in your first testimony that you “thought nothing” of the encounter...
1421 - Edgeworth: ...with Trucy until you had heard about the robbery, correct?
1422 - Jordur: I did. Your point?
1423 - Edgeworth: That is another contradiction.
1424 - Edgeworth: This scene is simply too bizarre for anybody to think nothing of it. 
1425 - Edgeworth: She trips, you get a good look at her, and you think absolutely nothing of the matter?
1426 - Jordur: Some people have much less compassion than others.
1427 - Edgeworth: And now for the last, and most decisive contradiction in this horrid mess of a testimony.
1428 - Judge: There’s more?!
1429 - Edgeworth: Correct, Your Honor. 
1430 - Edgeworth: As the crime scene report showed, witnesses saw that the robber was carrying a large sack of money...
1431 - Edgeworth: ...when she ran off, and you also said that you saw the sack of money, witness.
1432 - Edgeworth: Now, what would have happened to the sack if the robber had indeed tripped? Anybody care to answer?
1433 - Payne: Well… The sack would have fallen from her hands, fallen and then...
1434 - Payne: This is impossible!
1435 - Edgeworth: Oh, yes. If the witness account is true, the sack of money would be open under the streetlight!
1436 - Edgeworth: How did you not notice this, and why did not Trucy kill you for this?! It was you who said she had a gun!
1437 - Jordur: Ah!
1438 - Phoenix: Nice going, Edgeworth! I think we can turn this trial on its head yet!
1439 - Edgeworth: (We?! Yet?! How much longer does he plan for me to defend Trucy without a plan and also...)
1440 - Edgeworth: (...what has he done for the defence of his own daughter?!)
1442 - Payne: This is insane! You can’t draw four contradictions from just a single testimony!
1443 - Edgeworth: And yet I did, and that highlights one fact that is now indisputable.
1444 - Judge: What fact is that?!
1445 - Edgeworth: Isn't it obvious? The 
1446 - truth 
1447 - behind this testimony!
1449 - Edgeworth: There is one explanation for this massive contradiction. Specifically...
1450 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur saw absolutely nothing! 
1451 - Edgeworth: She never witnessed a person on her way out from the Wonder Bar that night!
1452 - Jordur: You’re insane!
1453 - Judge: I must agree with the witness. What grounds do you have to suggest that she saw nothing?
1454 - Edgeworth: It’s the only explanation that resolves these contradictions!
1455 - Edgeworth: It is simply not possible that she saw a person even vaguely similar to what she told us trip!
1456 - Edgeworth: The contradictions would remain.
1457 - Edgeworth: She would have no reason to lie about the tripping or the description of the robber...
1458 - Edgeworth: ...if she did witness it. The defense concludes that the witness just wants the limelight.
1459 - Edgeworth: That is all.
1460 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur saw somebody else.
1461 - Judge: But how does that explain the contradictions in the witness’s testimony?
1462 - Edgeworth: Isn’t it clear?
1463 - Judge: No. What mistake could she have made that would lead to all four of the contradictions you found?
1464 - Edgeworth: Um...
1465 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, you did not think this through at all!
1466 - Judge: Penalty!
1467 - Edgeworth: (How dare he insinuate that I failed to think through my response!)
1468 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur is telling the truth. That is the only explanation for this testimony.
1469 - Judge: How does that work?
1470 - Edgeworth: Well, I think that we can all agree that the witness is too good a person to commit perjury.
1471 - Edgeworth: By the looks of it, she has very good eyes, so she can’t be mistaken.
1472 - Edgeworth: The only option left is that the witness is telling the absolute truth.
1473 - Payne: The prosecution has no objections to the defense’s theory.
1474 - Judge: So… There’s nothing more to it?
1475 - Edgeworth: Not at all.
1476 - Judge: Do you remember what the point of this cross-examination was?
1477 - Edgeworth: The point was so that I could uncover new facts pointing away from the defendant and...
1478 - Edgeworth: Ah!
1479 - Judge: If that is your answer, then I am afraid that this cross-examination has been a complete waste of time.
1480 - Edgeworth: Wait, Your Honor! I merely spoke too soon! I know the truth now!
1481 - Judge: I don’t know how I feel about your time-wasting!
1482 - Judge: Penalty!
1484 - Edgeworth: (This testimony is a massive contradiction. The solution is simple, so don’t overthink this.)
1486 - Payne: Hee hee hee...
1487 - Payne: There's a 
1488 - contradiction 
1489 - in your explanation as well, rookie.
1490 - Edgeworth: !
1491 - Payne: Ms. Jordur came to the police before we had anything tying Trucy to the crime! Not even the prints!
1492 - Payne: Are you saying it's a coincidence that she and the evidence accused the same person, rookie? Are you?
1493 - Edgeworth: This is madness!
1494 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, it appears that your theory has been completely debunked!
1495 - Phoenix:  
1496 - Edgeworth: This is ridiculous! What the witness witnessed is impossible, but it's just as impossible if she didn't!
1497 - Edgeworth: And why is Payne becoming competent all of a sudden?
1498 - Phoenix: I used to live for these moments.
1499 - Phoenix: The impossible moments. When there seems to be no solution.  Every theory is an impossibility.
1500 - Phoenix: Except the one so zany, nobody's dared to think it, much less say it.
1501 - Edgeworth: Stop being cryptic and give me a hint! It's your daughter on the line!
1502 - Phoenix: Where's the fun in that?
1503 - Phoenix: Your Honor, the defense is prepared to explain this contradiction!
1504 - Edgeworth: (Wright, words fail to describe the loathing I have for you!)
1505 - Judge: Then let's hear it!
1508 - Judge: How do you explain the problems in the testimony and the fact that she knew Trucy was suspicious?
1509 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur is a psychic!
1510 - Judge: A psychic?!
1511 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
1512 - Edgeworth: (I do not like the sound of that...)
1513 - Payne: That is probably the most ridiculous thing that the defense has said all day.
1514 - Jordur: And believe me, the defense has said a lot of ridiculous things today.
1515 - Payne: Honestly, a psychic! She studies cooking, not the paranormal!
1516 - Payne: Can you even imagine a girl like her studying the para- normal or being a psychic?
1517 - Judge: I’m not sure how I feel aboot this.
1518 - Judge: No court has ever accepted a witness who got her testimony psychically. 
1519 - Judge: Well, except for DL-6, and I trust you know how that ended.
1520 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, this is different!
1521 - Judge: How?
1522 - Edgeworth: The defense attorney is better.
1523 - Judge: You are not “better” enough to avoid this penalty! 
1525 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur got lucky!
1526 - Judge: A coincidence?!
1527 - Payne: Hee hee hee...
1528 - Edgeworth: (I do not like the sound of that...)
1529 - Payne: That is probably the most ridiculous thing that the defense has said all day.
1530 - Jordur: And believe me, the defense has said a lot of ridiculous things today.
1531 - Payne: Honestly, luck! Which attorney has ever based a claim like this on luck?
1532 - Judge: You have to admit, the odds of that are pretty slim, Mr. Edgeworth.
1533 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the chances are much higher than you think!
1534 - Judge: Why is that?
1535 - Edgeworth: Because I do not guess. I know.
1536 - Judge: I know that you are getting a penalty, Mr. Edgeworth!
1538 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur was an accomplice!
1539 - Judge: An accomplice!
1540 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
1541 - Edgeworth: (I do not like the sound of this...)
1542 - Payne: That is probably the most ridiculous thing that the defense has said all day.
1543 - Jordur: And believe me, the defense has said a lot of ridiculous things today.
1544 - Payne: Honestly, an accomplice! Don’t you remember the security camera shot? 
1545 - Payne: There was only one robber! What would an accomplice be used for in this crime?
1546 - Jordur: And even if that was true, you just admitted that the defendant was the robber! 
1547 - Judge: Mr. Payne and Ms. Jordur are making quite a lot of sense.
1548 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the opposite is true. The prosecution is making no sense whatsoever.
1549 - Judge: What leads you to believe that?
1550 - Edgeworth: Because I can’t think of a better solution.
1551 - Judge: I certainly can.
1552 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth!
1554 - Edgeworth: The defense has one proposal.
1555 - Edgeworth: The reason why our witness knows about the crime despite not seeing the criminal's escape is...
1557 - Edgeworth: I’m looking like a fool out there!
1558 - Phoenix: You know better than anyone that I always looked like a fool.
1559 - Edgeworth: You're not helping!
1560 - Phoenix: Do what I always did. Forget the evidence. Go with intuition and jump to extremes.
1561 - Bluff, in other words.
1562 - Phoenix: Well, yeah.
1563 - Edgeworth: (Do I have any other option? There is one, now that I think about it. It may not work, but...)
1565 - Edgeworth: The witness is the robber!
1567 - Payne: Madness! Utter madness! You are making these claims without any basis!
1569 - Edgeworth: Without any basis? Is the witness's shoddy testimony not enough?
1570 - Edgeworth: There is no other explanation for it. She clearly witnessed nothing. Yet, she knows far too much.
1571 - Edgeworth: That Trucy was a suspect, for starters. The sack, the gun and that a mask was worn as well.
1572 - Edgeworth: If she didn't see it in third person, she did it in first person! There is no other explanation!
1573 - Payne: AAAAAUUUUUUUUGGHHH!
1574 - Jordur: Now you’ve gone past a moron to a raving lunatic, pinkie!
1575 - Jordur: You want to accuse me of the crime, but do you have even an ounce of proof?!
1576 - Jordur: Every single thing points to that magic-freak! The detectives told me! 
1577 - Jordur: You have her prints on that gun, which is enough for a conviction right there, and my testimony!
1578 - Jordur: You want to pass her up and accuse me on the basis of some silly mistake, do you?!
1579 - Jordur: Your theory has all the appeal of fruitcake!
1580 - Edgeworth: And that's the heart of the matter. What reason is there to suspect Trucy of any wrongdoing here?
1581 - Edgeworth: Only the gun and testimony. The fingerprints on the gun were not left during the actual crime.
1582 - Edgeworth: Your testimony is a poorly crafted lie, as you know far too much.
1583 - Edgeworth: Please, explain your basis for accusing the defendant, both witness and prosecution.
1587 - Judge: Order, order, order!
1588 - Judge: Mr. Payne, do you have anything to say on this development?
1589 - Payne: The defense is just confusing the issue with their wild theories. It’s madness. Utter madness…
1590 - Judge: Apparently not.
1591 - Judge: The defense's theory lacks proof, but this is more than can be said of the proseuction's theory.
1592 - Judge: A thirty minute recess will be held for both sides to get their cases together.
1594 - June 13, 11:52 AM District Courthouse Defendant Lobby No. 3
1596 - Edgeworth: This is insane! I just accused a woman of robbery with no basis besides a flawed testimony!
1597 - Edgeworth: It’s the sort of thing that you would do, Wright!
1598 - Phoenix: Should I take that as a compliment?
1599 - Edgeworth: Not at all!
1600 - Edgeworth: I know nothing of what really happened, besides that the witness saw nothing at all!
1601 - Phoenix: But do you believe what you said back there? That Jordur was the real robber?
1602 - Edgeworth: Yes, I believe it, but I can’t believe that I ever said it. 
1603 - Edgeworth: There is little that is as harmful as blurting out suspicions.
1604 - Edgeworth: I am not nearly prepared to truly and seriously accuse her.
1605 - Phoenix: I think you’re more prepared than you think. I didn’t have a smoking gun in any of my cases.
1606 - Edgeworth: That’s true, but…
1607 - Phoenix: ?
1608 - Edgeworth: I am nothing like you, Wright.
1609 - Edgeworth: I require evidence, facts and proof. All that you need is instinct.
1610 - Edgeworth: If somebody seems innocent, you jump to their side without hesitation.
1611 - Edgeworth: If somebody seems guilty, you accuse them as soon as you can be taken semi-seriously about it.
1612 - Edgeworth: Have you forgotten the Matt Engarde trial?
1613 - Phoenix: I made a mistake in accusing Andrews, but I thought she really was the killer.
1614 - Phoenix: As we both know, I was wrong, but it also would have been wrong to give up on the case at that point.
1615 - Phoenix: Get over your pride, Edgeworth. This isn't about being perfect.
1616 - Phoenix: It's about defending your client and finding the real criminal. Nothing else matters.
1617 - Edgeworth: (But to accuse the "criminal" with evidence no better than what they used against your client?)
1619 - Edgeworth: Anyways, where did Trucy go?
1620 - Phoenix: What do you mean?
1621 - Edgeworth: Have you not noticed that your daughter isn’t here?!
1622 - Phoenix: I guess you’re right.
1623 - Edgeworth: (I pity Trucy even more now.)
1624 - Bailiff: Excuse me, Mr. Edgeworth?
1625 - Edgeworth: Yes?
1626 - Bailiff: The defendant, Trucy, has returned from her visit.
1627 - Edgeworth: What do you mean, returned?! Why was I not informed that she had left in the first place?!
1628 - Bailiff: I told your co-counsel to tell you about it as soon as the recess began.
1629 - Edgeworth: ...
1630 - Phoenix: Oh, yeah. I remember something like that.
1631 - Edgeworth: (If I wasn’t a friend of yours, I would be calling social services by this point.)
1632 - Trucy: Hi, Daddy!
1633 - Phoenix: Oh, hi Trucy. Uh… Where did you go again?
1634 - Trucy: You forgot already? You must be getting old.
1635 - Phoenix: Indulge your father.
1636 - Trucy: Well, that witness, Dee. Something seemed off during her testimony.
1637 - Edgeworth: Off?
1638 - Trucy: Yeah… Something she said sounded 
1639 - wrong 
1640 - to me.
1641 - Edgeworth: What aroused your suspicions?
1642 - Trucy: I think it would be easier for me to show you.
1643 - Edgeworth: What's this?
1644 - Trucy: It’s a schedule of who performs when at the Wonder Bar.
1645 - Edgeworth: How did you get a hold of that?
1646 - Trucy: I just asked the bailiff to take me to the Wonder Bar. They have brochures about this there.
1647 - Edgeworth: And the bailiff just let you go to the Wonder Bar?
1648 - Trucy: Well, I was escorted.
1649 - Edgeworth: But they actually let you go?!
1650 - Trucy: Daddy…
1651 - Phoenix: Don’t worry, Trucy.
1652 - Phoenix: Mr. Edgeworth just gets mad easy. Sort of like that witness.
1653 - Trucy: Oh, Dee. Yeah, she’s always like that. I should know. 
1654 - Trucy: She performs right after me on some nights. 
1655 - Trucy: How she manages to keep her job is one of the best magic tricks that I have ever seen!
1656 - Trucy: She’s so professional while being completely unprofessional! Sort of like you, Mr. Edgeworth!
1657 - Trucy: You’re almost as great of a defense attorney as Daddy, even though you’re a prosecutor.
1658 - Edgeworth: (Why are these two so insistent on comparing me to that volatile witness?)
1659 - Edgeworth: (In any event, I had better note this brochure. I think I can see what had Trucy alarmed now.)
1660 - Schedule added to the Court Record.
1662 - Edgeworth: In any case, Trucy, you never answered the original question.
1663 - Edgeworth: How did you convince the bailiffs to let you go to the Wonder Bar, even if you had escorts?
1664 - Trucy: Oh, that was easy! I just showed them a magic trick.
1665 - Edgeworth: A magic trick?
1666 - Trucy: Yep.
1667 - Edgeworth: You managed to talk the bailiffs out of doing their duty… with a magic trick.
1668 - Edgeworth: (I can’t believe that I found a person who does their job even worse than Detective Gumshoe.)
1669 - Trucy: Do you want to see the trick?
1670 - Edgeworth: Not particularly, thank you.
1671 - Trucy: Don’t be so stuffy and boring, Mr. Edgeworth!
1672 - Edgeworth: Anyways… I think it is time that we reviewed all of the evidence.
1673 - Edgeworth: Contrary to what you think, Wright, I won't to stand a chance without a coherent theory.
1674 - Edgeworth: Even if the prosecutor has the skill level of a janitor.
1675 - Bailiff: It is time to come back into court, Mr. Edgeworth.
1676 - Phoenix: Ha ha.
1677 - Phoenix: Can't always get lucky, Edgeworth.
1678 - Edgeworth: (I don’t want lucky. All I want is truth and normalcy.)
1679 - June 13, 12:22 PM District Courthouse Defendant Lobby No. 3
1682 - Judge: Court is back in session for the trial of Trucy Wright. 
1683 - Judge: When we left, the witness had testified that she saw the defendant trip and fall...
1684 - Judge: ...which was why she was so confident in her testimony.
1685 - Judge: The defense proved this to be false and proceeded to accuse the witness of the crime. 
1686 - Judge: Although the defense had no proof, it did explain how certain parts of the witness testimony...
1687 - Judge: ...were astonishingly accurate, while other parts were imposible.
1688 - Judge: Now, do the prosecution or defense have anything to add?
1689 - Payne: The defense is bluffing in order to draw attention away from the fact that the defendant did it. 
1690 - Payne: She held the teller at gunpoint in order to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars.
1691 - Judge: And you, Mr. Edgeworth?
1692 - Edgeworth: The defense has no further comment, Your Honor.
1695 - Judge:  
1696 - Edgeworth:  
1699 - Payne: The prosecution has found a contradiction in our own evidence, Your Honor!
1703 - Judge: As bizarre as this is, there will be order!
1704 - Phoenix: I’ve seen defense attorneys cross- examining their own clients a few times, but this is something new.
1705 - Edgeworth: Especially for a prosecutor like Payne.
1706 - Judge: Mr. Payne, what is the meaning of this?!
1707 - Judge: It is the job of the defense, not the prosecution, to find contradictions!
1708 - Payne: Oh no, this contradiction isn't in my case.
1709 - Judge: Well, everything makes sense again, eh?
1710 - Payne: But don’t you want to hear about my contradiction?!
1711 - Judge: Very well, Mr. Payne.
1712 - Payne: This mask was presented earlier in the trial.
1713 - Payne: It was found just outside of the bank and was worn by the robber.
1714 - Judge: That is all correct.
1715 - Edgeworth: (Where could he be going with this…?)
1716 - Payne: The prosecution performed some additional analysis of the mask.
1717 - Edgeworth: You mean that the prosecution ordered the police to do the tests.
1718 - Payne: Amateur.
1719 - Payne: Real prosecutors examine the evidence themselves!
1720 - Judge: So, what did your tests find?
1721 - Payne: New, case-breaking evidence!
1722 - There are brown hairs in the mask!
1723 - Judge:  
1724 - Jordur:  
1725 - Phoenix:  
1726 - Edgeworth: That’s all?
1727 - Edgeworth: The defense knew that from the moment the mask was presented. 
1728 - Edgeworth: I assumed you all knew about it, but it had not yet become relevant.
1729 - Payne: Somebody like you, still in their novitiate years, can’t appreciate evidence like this.
1730 - Edgeworth: (Going alone with this may be the least painful way to proceed.) 
1731 - Edgeworth: Please, enlighten a blundering and perplexed defense attorney as to the meaning of this evidence.
1732 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
1733 - Payne: You don’t know what you’re asking for, boy.
1734 - Edgeworth: Of course not. This is my first time in court.
1735 - Judge: But Mr. Edgeworth, I thought-
1736 - Payne: Can this wait until after I present the contradiction?
1737 - Judge: Very well.
1738 - Payne: Now then, the hairs in this mask are brown.
1739 - Edgeworth: Yes, I believe that part is fairly self-explanatory.
1740 - Payne: Well, this destroys the defense’s theory entirely.
1741 - Edgeworth: I’m not quite see-
1742 - Edgeworth: Nooooooooo!
1743 - Jordur: What’s so spectacular about those hairs?!
1744 - Payne: There's no need to shout.
1745 - Payne: Anyways...
1746 - Payne: How does a robber with 
1747 - red 
1748 - hair leave 
1749 - brown 
1750 - hairs in her mask?
1751 - Payne: Only a person with 
1752 - brown 
1753 - hair, like the defendant, could have left them!
1754 - Edgeworth: (How did this man become so intelligent all of a sudden?!)
1755 - Judge: The prosecution raises a valid point, and it does not seem like the defense has an answer for it.
1756 - Edgeworth: (In one move, Payne destroyed every bit of momentum that I had!)
1757 - Edgeworth: (I didn’t think that he was even capable!)
1758 - Payne: To further prove it, the prosecution will submit the hairs for DNA testing.
1759 - Judge: Although I am appreciative of this new evidence, I have to ask. 
1760 - Judge: How did something like this go undiscovered for so long?
1761 - Payne: The obligation of checking the evidence rests with the detective.
1762 - Payne: The detective in charge of this case is… not the best. 
1763 - Judge: Was it that scruffy man who testified earlier?
1764 - Payne: Yes, Your Honor.
1765 - Edgeworth: The defense can confirm his incompetency as a detective.
1766 - Edgeworth: It is possible that he has missed something as obvious as the hairs.
1767 - Judge: In light of this realization, I am much more inclined to believe...
1768 - Judge: ...the witness’s testimony over the wild theories of the defense, in spite of the contradiction, so-
1770 - Jordur: Windbag, can you shut up so I can talk, finally?! You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting.
1771 - Judge: Well-
1772 - Jordur: Good. Pinkie over there is off of his rocker.
1773 - Jordur: For all his fancy talk about contradictions, it’s just prattle.
1774 - Jordur: Give me one more chance and I can get everything right back on track.
1775 - Judge: You’re not saying-
1776 - Jordur: That’s right.
1777 - Jordur: I can explain your precious little contradiction in full.
1778 - Edgeworth: Nonsense!
1782 - Judge: Ms. Jordur… Are you serious?!
1783 - Jordur: No, I’m not. Next, I want to testify about how to make a proper bowl of pasta!
1784 - Judge: Ms. Jordur…
1785 - Jordur: A stupid question deserves an equally stupid answer! Of course I’m serious.
1786 - Payne: Why did you not tell me about this?!
1787 - Jordur: Because you’d probably screw it up.
1788 - Jordur: Let’s face it. You haven’t been doing the best of jobs with this trial.
1790 - Payne: The prosecution’s witness will refrain from insulting the prosecution!
1792 - Edgeworth: This is not without precedent.
1793 - Judge: Hmm…
1794 - Jordur: Don’t forget. Mess with me too much and I’m leaving, subpoena or no subpoena.
1795 - Edgeworth: (I hope she realizes that we can arrest her then.)
1796 - Judge: Very well. No action will be taken against the witness at this time.
1797 - Judge: Now, would you like to testi-
1798 - Jordur: ...
1799 - Judge: I mean, the witness may begin her testimony.
1801 - Phoenix: Careful. I have a bad feeling.
1804 - Special sprite: - - - - - - A Little Mistake - - - - - -
1805 - Special sprite: - - - - - - A Little Mistake - - - - - -
1806 - Jordur: S
1807 - Special sprite: he might not have tripped. I never saw the actual falling. 
1808 - Jordur: S
1809 - Special sprite: he coulda been exhausted from the running and needed to catch her breath. 
1810 - Jordur: S
1811 - Special sprite: he didn't have the strength to stand, so she was on all fours.
1812 - Jordur: T
1813 - Special sprite: hat explains it all quite nicely, am I right?
1814 - Judge: Well. That was short.
1815 - Jordur: Nothing else needed to be said.
1816 - Jordur: I just misjudged the situation. She didn’t trip. She just needed to catch her breath for a bit.
1817 - Jordur: Odd pose, but she always was an odd girl.
1818 - Payne: It’s clear at this point that the defendant is guilty. 
1819 - Payne: Not only is there new evidence shattering the defense’s theory, but it incriminates the defendant. 
1820 - Payne: The only reason for doubt in this case that has been left standing was weak to begin with.
1821 - Payne: Even that has been crushed!
1822 - Payne: The prosecution feels that a further cross-examination would be a waste of the court’s time.
1823 - Judge: I assume that the defense would like to cross-examine this piece of testimony?
1824 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor.
1825 - Jordur: You dare to waste my time?!
1826 - Judge: Hmm…
1827 - Edgeworth: This testimony would have been given much earlier if it was true.
1828 - Edgeworth: It is astonishing that such testimony is even permissible.
1829 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, I will allow this cross-examination, but on one condition.
1830 - Judge: If you cannot cast enough doubt, then I will declare my verdict. Do I make myself clear?
1831 - Edgeworth: Perfectly, Your Honor.
1832 - Judge: The defense may begin the cross- examination.
1833 - Edgeworth: (This witness has been able to weasel her way out of every contradiction in her testimony.)
1834 - Edgeworth: (The only way to win this case is to break her story!)
1837 - Special sprite: - - - - - - A Little Mistake - - - - - -
1838 - - - - - - - A Little Mistake - - - - - -
1841 - Jordur: She might not have tripped. I never saw the actual falling. 
1842 - Jordur: She coulda been exhausted from the running and needed to catch her breath. 
1843 - Jordur: She didn't have the strength to stand, so she was on all fours.
1844 - Jordur: That explains it all quite nicely, am I right?
1846 - Phoenix: Well, this is a nice and short cross- examination.
1847 - Edgeworth: I’m not concerned with its length nearly as much as I am with finding a contradiction.
1848 - Phoenix: True, you are in a bit of trouble.
1849 - Edgeworth: Could you at least act concerned?
1850 - Phoenix: Only if you buy me some grape juice later.
1851 - Edgeworth: ... Fine.
1852 - Phoenix: In a short testimony like this, I’d first look for any obvious contradictions or problems.
1853 - Phoenix: If nothing appears, then it might be a good idea to keep the pressure on the witness until she slips up.
1854 - Edgeworth: (That’s not a bad idea…)
1855 - Phoenix: Oh, and make sure it’s at least 80% real juice. I can’t stand the other stuff.
1859 - Edgeworth: If you never saw her tripping, then why did you testify that you did?
1860 - Jordur: Oh, forgive me for making an assumption! 
1861 - Jordur: I could hear her running, then I looked behind me.
1862 - Jordur: She was on the ground and there were definitely some noises coming from her.
1863 - Jordur: Don't tell me that you never made a mistake and got lucky!
1864 - Edgeworth: (Sadly, that is how Wright won most of his cases.)
1865 - Edgeworth: Very well then. If the defendant never tripped, then what did happen, witness?
1869 - Edgeworth: Coulda?
1870 - Jordur: Oh, come on! You really have a problem with my grammar? Really?
1871 - Jordur: If you’re going to be such a prick about that, pinkie, then fine.
1872 - Jordur: She could have been exhausted. Are you happy now that I’ve corrected myself?
1873 - Edgeworth: That was not what I was going to ask.
1874 - Jordur: Just keep telling yourself that.
1875 - Edgeworth: (There really is no polite discourse with this woman.) 
1876 - Edgeworth: Why are you uncertain as to whether she was out of breath?
1877 - Jordur: What are you expecting from me?! A perfect testimony? 
1878 - Jordur: Look, I didn’t see the actual fall. I don’t know if she tripped, caught her breath or what. 
1879 - Jordur: If I did, I never would have made that mistake in the first place. 
1880 - Jordur: All I know is that she was on the ground, under the streetlight. 
1881 - Jordur: Now, can you just quit already? I really need to get to rehearsal.
1882 - Edgeworth: I am not done here. Continue with the testimony!
1886 - Edgeworth: All fours?
1887 - Jordur: Are you so clueless that I need to explain this to you?
1888 - Jordur: Her knees and elbows were on the ground.
1889 - Jordur: At the time, I thought she had tripped, but she must have simply caught her breath.
1890 - Jordur: Regardless of why Trucy was on the ground, that was what I saw, and I saw it good. 
1891 - Jordur: She was on the ground for a good minute. I can’t make up that sort of detail.
1892 - Edgeworth: (I wouldn’t be so sure.)
1896 - Edgeworth: That isn’t exactly how I would have put it.
1897 - Jordur: Do you really want to waste the court’s time arguing over how I worded things? 
1898 - Jordur: My explanation resolves the contradictions and creates no new problems.
1899 - Jordur: Am I right, or am I right?
1900 - Edgeworth: (She’s being much too hasty in her conclusion. Regardless, does this explanation work or is it flawed?)
1901 - Edgeworth: (I hate to say it, but I can’t risk slipping up at this point. My position is too perilous to risk a bluff.) 
1902 - Edgeworth: You’re right. I can see no flaw in your explanation yet.
1903 - Payne: Then just give it up, rookie. 
1904 - Payne: The sooner you accept that your client was the one who did it, the better.
1905 - Edgeworth: The defense has no intention of making a plea deal yet. 
1906 - Edgeworth: We only ask for a bit more time to examine this testimony.
1907 - Judge: Very well, Mr. Edgeworth, but the sooner, the better!
1908 - Judge: The defense’s case is only hanging by a thread at this point.
1909 - Edgeworth: (That’s fine with me. All I need is one contradiction, and the way to the truth will be made clear.)
1910 - Edgeworth: I regret to inform you of this, Ms. Jordur, but the defense is of the following opinion:
1911 - Edgeworth: Your testimony is as perfect as the fruitcake which you mentioned earlier in the trial!
1912 - Judge: I remember the last time that I ate fruitcake. It got all in my glorious playoff beard. 
1913 - Judge: Therefore, comparing the witness's testimony to fruitcake is a serious offense indeed, eh?
1914 - Edgeworth: A serious offense? I never say anything unless I am being entirely serious.
1915 - Judge: Very well then.
1916 - Judge: What is your "serious" problem with the witness's testimony?
1918 - Edgeworth: Simply, the testimony of the witness contradicts this.
1919 - Edgeworth: The testimony presented by the witness contradicts the evidence.
1920 - Payne: That’s impossible! The defense is bluffing!
1921 - Jordur: It wouldn’t exactly be a first.
1922 - Judge: I’m not sure how I feel about the defense’s claim.
1923 - Edgeworth: (It may be quicker just to point out the problem myself.)
1924 - Edgeworth: The testimony contradicts this piece of evidence.
1926 - Edgeworth: The contradiction is now evinced.
1927 - Judge: What contradiction?
1928 - Edgeworth: Is it not obvious? The contradiction in the witness’s testimony.
1929 - Jordur: We all know that you’re the real contradiction around here.
1930 - Judge: Quite right.
1931 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth!
1932 - Edgeworth: (Perhaps I should have thought that one through a bit more.)
1933 - Judge: Moving on...
1934 - Edgeworth: The contradiction is with the very first testimony.
1935 - Judge: Wasn't that from the detective who overlooked the mask's hairs?
1936 - Edgeworth: Correct, Your Honor.
1937 - Judge: Now, how do the testimonies contradict each other? I see no problem.
1938 - Edgeworth: The parts of the testimonies that contradict are... Um...
1939 - Payne: The defense is obviously bluffing.
1940 - Judge: I was hoping I would not have to do this, but penalty, Edgeworth. 
1941 - Judge: Do not propose theories if you don’t even know what they are.
1942 - Edgeworth: (How could I have been so careless?)
1943 - Judge: Now, witness, please continue the testimony.
1944 - Edgeworth: The contradiction is with testimony number two.
1945 - Judge: The testimonies are contradictory?!
1946 - Edgeworth: Correct. The testimonies do not agree.
1947 - Judge: Although that would be a very serious error, which parts of the testimony contradict each other?
1948 - Edgeworth: Well, it’s clearly... Well...
1949 - Judge: You clearly have no idea!
1950 - Judge: Penalty!
1951 - Edgeworth: (I need to focus. I cannot afford any more errors.)
1952 - Judge: Continue.
1954 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the contradiction is in Ms. Jordur's prior testimonies.
1955 - Judge: Her prior testimonies?
1956 - Edgeworth: Don't you remember them?
1957 - Judge: Vaguely.
1958 - Judge: She was leaving the Wonder Bar, and saw the defendant, looking suspiciously like a bank robber.
1959 - Judge: The defendant tripped, Jordur tried to talk, but the defendant just runs past her. Very shady.
1960 - Judge: So, where is the contradiction?
1961 - Edgeworth: You forgot about when Dee Jordur confessed to the crime.
1962 - Jordur: I never did that!
1963 - Judge: Penalty, Mr. Edgeworth! Do not make up testimonies!
1964 - Edgeworth: (What a foolish mistake!)
1969 - Edgeworth: (This witness is one of the most bizarre witnesses that I have ever encountered.)
1970 - Edgeworth: (She barely bats an eye about intimidating the judge and prosecution with her temper.) 
1971 - Edgeworth: (Only a handful of other witnesses would be able to offer a series of testimonies remotely like that.)
1972 - Edgeworth: (She "remembers" new details whenever a contradiction appears, and they are accepted as truth.)
1973 - Edgeworth: (This is where the game ends.)
1974 - Judge: Is the defense all right?
1975 - Edgeworth: The defense has never been better.
1976 - Edgeworth: Before presenting the contradiction, I need to confirm some facts.
1977 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur, you made an interesting statement earlier. You said that:
1979 - Jordur: Regardless of why Trucy was on the ground, that was what I saw, and I saw it good. 
1980 - Jordur: She was on the ground for a good minute. I can’t make up that sort of detail.
1982 - Edgeworth: Do you stand by this?
1983 - Jordur: You really are a glutton for punishment, aren’t you, pinkie? 
1984 - Jordur: No, I thought it was a good idea to-
1985 - Edgeworth: Either give this court a serious answer or I will move for the judge to hold you in contempt.
1986 - Jordur: You wouldn’t.
1987 - Edgeworth: Why ever not?
1988 - Edgeworth: A defense attorney would want to get the prosecution’s star witness removed from court.
1989 - Jordur: Fine.
1990 - Jordur: Yes, I said that. So what?
1991 - Edgeworth: I ask the court to remember Ms. Jordur’s first testimony.
1993 - Jordur: I ask what she’s doing, since she wasn't scheduled at the bar, but she just runs past me.
1995 - Judge: I remember her saying that...
1996 - Jordur: Yeah, yeah, I said it. Get to the point before I die of boredom, already.
1997 - Jordur: Oh wait, you’d probably like that.
1998 - Edgeworth: Now I direct you to her second testimony.
1999 - Jordur: Hey, stop ignoring me!
2000 - Edgeworth: During this testimony, she said:
2002 - Jordur: Before you say anything, she tripped, so I had plenty of time to look. 
2004 - Edgeworth: You did say that, yes?
2005 - Jordur: Oh, now you respond to me.
2006 - Jordur: Yes, I said them. But what's the point?!
2007 - Jordur: Seriously, get to the end already! I should have been at my rehearsal ages ago, you inconsiderate jerk!
2008 - Edgeworth: My point is simple logic.
2009 - Edgeworth: The times do not add up. 
2010 - Edgeworth: When you see the person fall, you ask what she is doing. 
2011 - Edgeworth: Shortly after you ask this, she just gets up and runs away.
2012 - Edgeworth: That is what we are led to believe from your previous testimonies.
2013 - Judge: Wait a minute! 
2014 - Judge: The witness just said that there the person she saw was on the ground for at least a minute!
2015 - Edgeworth: And that is precisely my point.
2016 - Edgeworth: Witness, your testimony is a hopeless contradiction, and no new facts can change this! 
2017 - Edgeworth: The timeline of what you claim to have seen is self-defeating, leaving me only one conclusion. 
2018 - Edgeworth: Your entire testimony is a lie, coated with information that only the real robber could have known! 
2019 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur, you were the robber!
2020 - Jordur: ...
2021 - Jordur: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
2025 - Judge: Witness…
2026 - Judge: What is the meaning of this?! The defense has a great point, and I see no way around it.
2027 - Judge: You weren't a witness, but you know too much to be a bystander. You had to have been the robber!
2028 - Edgeworth: (Better late than never.)
2030 - Jordur: Huh? Sorry, but I’m a bit confused right now.
2031 - Judge: Witness…?
2032 - Edgeworth: Are
2033 - Payne: You
2034 - Judge: Mad?
2035 - Judge: In all seriousness, you appear to have calmed down quite a lot.
2037 - Jordur: Yeah, I have! I found my happy place! It was under my hat, all this time!
2039 - Edgeworth: Phoenix… 
2040 - Edgeworth: What just happened?! Our raging chef turned into a ditz!
2041 - Edgeworth: I’ve seen transformations on the witness stand, but this is something new!
2042 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, everything we know about “normal” is out the window with this witness. 
2043 - Phoenix: There’s no other way to put it.
2044 - Edgeworth: Not just normal, but sane!
2045 - Special sprite:  
2046 - Edgeworth: The witness is not mentally capable of testifying to this court!
2048 - Jordur: Just trust me, Mr. Judge!
2050 - Payne: The prosecution demands that you listen to the witness! I'm sure the witness has a good explanation!
2051 - Judge: I will give her a chance.
2052 - Judge: Witness, what happened?
2053 - Jordur: I just found my happy place! I'm all better now, Mr. Judge!
2054 - Judge: Well, she seems genuine. It can't hurt to continue the testimony.
2055 - Payne: Um…
2056 - Payne: Witness?
2057 - Jordur: Yes?
2058 - Payne: Could you explain to the court why you were so confused?
2059 - Jordur: What had me confused… 
2060 - Jordur: Oh, yeah! Mr. Lawyer, you said that I was the one who did that terrible thing.
2061 - Edgeworth: If by “terrible thing”, you mean robbery and perjury, then yes.
2062 - Jordur: Perjury?
2063 - Judge: It means lying in court.
2064 - Jordur: Oh, fibbing. That doesn’t sound very nice.
2065 - Jordur: Where was I?
2066 - Jordur: Oh, yeah! I just don’t understand how I could have done that bad thing. 
2067 - Jordur: Mr. Judge, can I ask Mr. Lawyer about his argument? You would be as sweet as a lollipop if you let me!
2068 - Judge: This is unorthodox, but very well.
2070 - Judge: The witness may testify about problems with Mr. Edgeworth’s arguments.
2073 - Special sprite: - - - Confusion and Innocence - - -
2074 - Special sprite: - - - Confusion and Innocence - - -
2075 - Jordur: I 
2076 - Special sprite: don't think I could be the bad guy.
2077 - Jordur: M
2078 - Special sprite: r. Prosecutor says the mask proves the robber's hair was brown. Mine is red, though.
2079 - Jordur: A
2080 - Special sprite: lso, I was at the Wonder Bar playing my keyboard during the robbery.
2081 - Jordur: I
2082 - Special sprite: ’m a cooking student, not a magician. I can’t be in two places at the same time!
2083 - Jordur: A
2084 - Special sprite: nd how did Trucy’s fingerprints get on that metal thingy? I don’t know how that happened.
2085 - Jordur: M
2086 - Special sprite: r. Lawyer doesn’t have anything saying I did it, and I don’t understand his idea.
2087 - Jordur: M
2088 - Special sprite: r. Lawyer, your idea is half-baked. I know an oven you can use to finish it!
2090 - Edgeworth: Agh!
2091 - Payne: Hee hee hee… The witness is right.
2092 - Payne: The witness testimony might not make any sense, but there is no evidence that the witness did it!
2093 - Payne: Your theory makes just as much sense!
2094 - Edgeworth: (How can that man still think that he’s winning?! He really should be a janitor!)
2095 - Judge: While I’m not sure if I like the prosecution’s confidence, these are major problems.
2096 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, I will have to ask that you sort this out.
2097 - Jordur: Thank you so much for letting me speak, Mr. Judge! You really are sweeter than sugar!
2098 - Judge: Sugar gets in my glorious playoff beard far too easily.
2099 - Jordur: How about donuts?
2100 - Judge: Ooh, donuts… 
2101 - Judge: Now, Mr. Edgeworth, please begin the cross-examination!
2104 - Special sprite: - - - Confusion and Innocence - - -
2105 - - - - Confusion and Innocence - - -
2108 - Jordur: I don't think I could be the bad guy.
2109 - Jordur: Mr. Prosecutor says the mask proves the robber's hair was brown. Mine is red, though.
2110 - Jordur: Also, I was at the Wonder Bar playing my keyboard during the robbery.
2111 - Jordur: I’m a cooking student, not a magician. I can’t be in two places at the same time!
2112 - Jordur: And how did Trucy’s fingerprints get on that metal thingy? I don’t know how that happened.
2113 - Jordur: Mr. Lawyer doesn’t have anything saying I did it, and I don’t understand his idea.
2114 - Jordur: Mr. Lawyer, your idea is half-baked. I know an oven you can use to finish it!
2116 - Phoenix: I think she’s lost it. This seems like the testimony of an eight-year-old.
2117 - Edgeworth: You know it’s bad when even you admit it.
2118 - Phoenix: I don’t think you need much help on this one. The problem is obvious. 
2119 - Phoenix: Although…
2120 - Phoenix: You might be able to press her on some of the statements for a laugh.
2121 - Edgeworth: It is considered rude to laugh at the expense of the mentally ill in today’s society.
2125 - Edgeworth: Oh, and why is that?
2126 - Jordur: I’m a girl, silly!
2127 - Edgeworth: ...
2128 - Edgeworth: Any other reasons?
2129 - Jordur: Well…
2130 - Jordur: I’ve been good lately! Santa is going to give me presents this Christmas!
2131 - Edgeworth: (I think I preferred her when every other sentence was an insult!)
2135 - Edgeworth: Because of the mask?
2136 - Jordur: Um, yeah... What was it you said, Mr. Prosecutor?
2137 - Payne: You all remember the mask which the robber wore and then threw into the road, correct?
2138 - Edgeworth: Correct.
2139 - Payne: Some brown hairs were found inside, left by the robber. 
2140 - Payne: That shows that the criminal has brown hair, like the defendant, and not red hair.
2141 - Payne: Hee hee hee...
2142 - Judge: Something amusing, Mr. Payne?
2143 - Payne: I’m just envisioning the guilty verdict now.
2144 - Edgeworth: (Don’t count your victories before they happen.)
2148 - Edgeworth: You were at the Wonder Bar?
2149 - Jordur: Yeah! I play my keyboard there a lot. 
2150 - Jordur: I was playing there on the night of the robbery, so I don’t see how I could have been at the bank.
2151 - Edgeworth: (She has a point. If this alibi holds up, then she can’t be the true criminal.)
2152 - Edgeworth: Continue, witness.
2156 - Edgeworth: Regarding this statement...
2157 - Jordur: Ahhhhhh!
2158 - Edgeworth: What is it?!
2159 - Jordur: I just realized a way that I could have been the robber!
2160 - Payne: What?!
2161 - Jordur: There’s one way this could have happened… 
2162 - Jordur: A magician took control of my body, made me rob the bank and wiped my memory afterwards!
2163 - Jordur: It’s the perfect crime!
2164 - Jordur: And isn’t Trucy a magician?
2165 - Judge: …
2166 - Edgeworth: Just continue the testimony.
2171 - Edgeworth: By “that metal thingy”, you are referring to the gun, yes?
2172 - Jordur: I don’t like that word, but yes…
2173 - Edgeworth: You will have to get used to using words that you don’t like.
2174 - Jordur: Do I have to?
2175 - Edgeworth: Yes…
2176 - Jordur: OK, I will on one condition. You tell me how Trucy’s fingerprints got on the gun! 
2177 - Jordur: Yay! I said it!
2178 - Edgeworth: (It would be helpful if I could explain the gun, but I’m not sure if I have the evidence quite yet.)
2182 - Edgeworth: You mean evidence, right?
2183 - Jordur: Oh, is that the word?
2184 - Edgeworth: Yes, it is.
2185 - Edgeworth: Now, how am I at all lacking in evidence? I think that your tragedy of a testimony is evidence enough.
2186 - Jordur: I dunno.
2187 - Jordur: I can’t remember what you’re talking about, but I don't think lies are proof of a robbery.
2188 - Edgeworth: Even if that lie contained information they shouldn’t have ever known?
2189 - Jordur: Luck is a funny thing, you know.
2190 - Payne: The witness is quite right. She may have lied, but that isn’t proof of anything!
2191 - Edgeworth: (She’s passing this off as luck? It makes about as much sense as the rest of this testimony.)
2195 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur, you cannot use an oven to finish an idea!
2196 - Jordur: Well, why not?
2198 - Payne: This cross-examination is straying from the original purpose!
2199 - Judge: I must agree with the prosecution. I see no point in this statement.
2200 - Edgeworth: (Is there any point in this testimony?)
2207 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur, are you familiar with the Children’s Crusade of 1212?
2208 - Jordur: What’s that? It sounds fun!
2210 - Payne: The defense is obviously stalling, Your Honor. This has nothing to do with the testimony.
2212 - Edgeworth: If Your Honor would allow me to finish, the relevance will soon become apparent!
2213 - Judge: Objection overruled, Mr. Payne. I want to know what the defense is talking aboot.
2214 - Edgeworth: In 1212, two groups of thousands of Christian youths attempted to claim the city of Jerusalem from Muslims.
2215 - Edgeworth: The first group was enslaved, while most of the second group died before they got as far as Italy.
2216 - Edgeworth: The lesson here is that no matter how much of a child you try to act, Ms. Jordur...
2218 - Edgeworth: ...there is no escaping the gravity of the situation you have put yourself in!
2219 - Jordur: Huh?
2220 - Edgeworth: You stated that on the night of the crime, you had a performance at the Wonder Bar, true?
2221 - Edgeworth: I happen to have the entertainment schedule for the Wonder Bar right here.
2222 - Edgeworth: We know that the crime happened on Thursday.
2223 - Judge: The crime report shows us that easily enough. 
2224 - Edgeworth: Why is it then, that there is no performance by Dee Jordur listed for Thursday?
2225 - Jordur: Well, uh, you see… The flying spaghetti monster replaced the schedules!
2226 - Payne: Witness, try to leave the arguing to the prosecution.
2227 - Jordur: OK!
2228 - Edgeworth: Can I expect an answer from you, Mr. Payne, or should I answer for you?
2229 - Payne: Well, um, it’s possible that…
2230 - Edgeworth: Dee Jordur has no alibi whatsoever!
2231 - Edgeworth: She most certainly was not performing at the Wonder Bar during the crime!
2232 - Payne: You can't be serious!
2233 - Payne: Well… You see this mark here? 
2234 - TWME?
2235 - That could have been her.
2237 - Edgeworth: Even if it was, TWME performed much earlier that day!
2238 - Jordur: And I’m not TWME, I’m afraid.
2239 - Jordur: TWME is short for “Trucy Wright: Magician Extraordinaire.”
2240 - Jordur: She really is good! There’s got to be a trick to how she pulls all that stuff out of there!
2241 - Phoenix: Don't ask about "there", Edgeworth.
2242 - Edgeworth: (You didn't need to tell me.)
2243 - Jordur: She pulls a tire and a broom out of there!
2244 - Jordur: The prop looks perfectly normal, but it can’t be! If it is, it contradicts, uh, physics!
2246 - Edgeworth: (Wait…) 
2247 - Edgeworth: TWME stands for "Trucy Wright: Magician Extraordinaire"? You are absolutely sure of this?
2248 - Jordur: Yes.
2249 - Edgeworth: ...
2250 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, are you quite alright?
2251 - Edgeworth: (Th-This is impossible! 
2252 - Edgeworth: Wright, why did you not tell me about this?! This has changed the entire case!)
2253 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth!
2254 - Edgeworth: I apologize, Your Honor. The defense has had an epiphany. 
2255 - Edgeworth: There is a person who has been driving this court in circles due to their own incompetence.
2257 - Payne: The defense is bluffing!
2258 - Edgeworth: Mr. Payne, could you please find something else to object to?
2259 - Edgeworth: Most of your objections have been to alleged bluffs which were nothing of the sort.
2260 - Edgeworth: Only very rarely have you been able to counter the defense’s theories with evidence.
2261 - Payne: That may be, but you really shouldn’t continue any further!
2262 - Payne: You really shouldn't!
2263 - Judge: The prosecution has a point.
2264 - Edgeworth: He does?
2265 - Payne: Yes, I do! Give it up while you still can!
2266 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, you are accusing somebody of misleading the court through incompetence, right?
2267 - Edgeworth: Yes, Your Honor.
2268 - Judge: In that case… 
2270 - Judge: The defense’s motion for a
2271 - Hoser Inquisition 
2272 - is accepted!
2273 - Payne: You will regret putting us all through this!
2275 - Edgeworth: Do you have any idea what is going on?
2276 - Phoenix: Not really. Usually, this judge tries to keep things normal. 
2277 - Phoenix: I think the thought of hunting for “hosers” has him excited.
2278 - Judge: In accordance with the Book of Hoser, I will now read the procedures for accusing a hoser.
2279 - Judge: "Once a motion for a Hoser Inquisition is permitted by the Judge, the accusing party...
2280 - Judge: ...shall first name the hoser and then shall present a single piece of evidence which...
2281 - Judge: ...goes to show that the accused is indeed a hoser.
2282 - Judge: Should the Judge agree with the accusation, the accused shall immediately be held in contempt.
2283 - Judge: Should the Judge disagree, the accuser shall immediately be held in contempt of court."
2284 - Judge: Thus says the Book! 
2285 - Edgeworth: (The judge must be out of his mind if he is going to hold me in contempt for this.)
2287 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, please identify the hoser at this time!
2307 - Judge: Now, please present the evidence that this person is a hoser!
2310 - Edgeworth: The hoser... is me. I'm a sham.
2311 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2312 - Edgeworth: There’s no point in hiding it any longer, Wright. I can’t do this.
2313 - Edgeworth: I, Miles Edgeworth, am no defense attoney. I am a prosecutor.
2314 - Judge: What?!
2315 - Payne: What?!
2316 - Edgeworth: (Why is Payne so surprised? I told him that I wasn’t really a defense attorney.)
2317 - Judge: This is… insane! 
2318 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, I am going to have to hold you in contempt of court.
2319 - Edgeworth: The hoser… is the co-counsel!
2320 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2321 - Edgeworth: Just look at him! He’s a hobo.
2322 - Judge: Hmm…
2323 - Judge: Some of my best friends are hobos, Mr. Edgeworth.
2324 - Judge: For your prejudice against the homeless, I am going to have to hold you in contempt of court.
2325 - Edgeworth: The hoser... is the defendant. She did it!
2326 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2327 - Payne: Hee hee hee…
2328 - Payne: The defense finally admits its guilt. Too bad for you, it’s far too late for a plea deal, Mr. Edgeworth.
2329 - Judge: As much as I want to put away a hoser, it would be pointless if the defense is surrendering.
2330 - Edgeworth: The hoser… is Franziska von Karma!
2331 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2332 - Judge: What does she have to do with this case?
2333 - Edgeworth: Nothing at all, Your Honor!
2334 - Judge: For making a nonsense accusation, I must hold you in contempt, Mr. Edgeworth.
2335 - Edgeworth: The hoser is you, Your Honor!
2336 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2337 - Judge: I agree with co-counsel! What are you doing calling me the hoser?!
2338 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, please allow me to finish.
2339 - Judge: Very well, but I’m warning you.
2340 - Judge: There had better be a good explanation for this.
2341 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, as we all know, you are Canadian. 
2342 - Edgeworth: And one of Canada’s chief imports from Germany is motor vehicles.
2343 - Edgeworth: And who else is from Germany?
2344 - Edgeworth: Why, Luna von Doppelbohringen of Cool Company! 
2345 - Edgeworth: By this point, the truth is obvious.
2346 - Edgeworth: The bank was really a secret nuclear facility which used heavy water from Cool Company. 
2347 - Edgeworth: When the robbery occurred, Luna was terrified that an investigation would be conducted.
2348 - Edgeworth: The facility could be discovered, and if it was found, then she would lose quite a lot of sales.
2349 - Edgeworth: So, Luna needed somebody to be convicted, and convicted fast.
2350 - Edgeworth: Otherwise, she risks losing all that revenue from neutron-rich dihydrogen monoxide.
2351 - Edgeworth: So she decided to blackmail you!
2352 - Edgeworth: If you didn’t convict my client, then she would threaten to move Cool Company to Andorra!
2353 - Edgeworth: This would deprive Germany of significant tax revenue. Luna would only stay on one condition.
2354 - Edgeworth: Germany would have to cut off automobile imports to Canada!
2355 - Edgeworth: Helpless, Germany could do nothing but comply, in turn creating a new victim.
2356 - Edgeworth: Canada, which could no longer support hockey for want of buses for hockey teams to travel!
2357 - Edgeworth: Ergo, you deceived this court to save hockey!
2358 - Edgeworth: You are a true Canadian, but you are also a true hoser!
2359 - Judge: …
2360 - Judge: Cool Company is based here in California.
2361 - Edgeworth: … Oh.
2363 - Judge: I now accuse you of being a hoser, presenting your theory as proof. I agree with myself. 
2364 - Judge: You are held in contempt of court, Mr. Edgeworth. I… used to respect you.
2365 - Edgeworth: The hoser… is Winston Payne!
2366 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2367 - Payne: Not again!
2368 - Judge: You are calling Mr. Payne the hoser?
2369 - Judge: If you are right, this will mark the tenth time in a row that he has been accused and convicted.
2370 - Phoenix: I knew he was bad, but that’s…
2371 - Phoenix: Sort of sad.
2372 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, where is your proof that Mr. Payne is a hoser?
2373 - Edgeworth: Just look at him! He is wearing a yellow suit and his hair is an abomination!
2374 - Edgeworth: If that is not proof, then I don’t know what is!
2375 - Judge: You don’t know what proof is.
2376 - Judge: You are safe, Mr. Payne. You, however, Mr. Edgeworth...
2377 - Judge: You are being held in contempt of court for getting my hopes up! I thought we had ten in a row!
2379 - Edgeworth: The hoser… is Detective Gumshoe!
2380 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2381 - Judge: Detective Gumshoe?!
2382 - Edgeworth: Yes. It was mentioned earlier that he was the scruffy one.
2383 - Judge: I remember him now! He was the one whose testimony contained no contradictions.
2384 - Edgeworth: Not true, Your Honor. I see now that there was a contradiction after all.
2385 - Judge: There was?!
2386 - Payne: There was?!
2387 - Phoenix: There was?!
2388 - Edgeworth: Why, the detective, of course. His salary has been cut so much that he cannot buy food.
2389 - Edgeworth: He should have died of starvation, but for some reason, he is quite alive.
2390 - Edgeworth: You cannot deny that this is a contradiction!
2391 - Judge: I can, actually.
2392 - Judge: Due to your baseless and nonsense theory, you have been held in contempt of court, Mr. Edgeworth.
2393 - Edgeworth: The hoser… is Mike Meekins!
2394 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2395 - Judge: Although Mr. Meekins was a unique character, I do not believe that is enough to classify him as a hoser.
2396 - Edgeworth: Under normal circumstances, his behavior would be insufficient.
2397 - Edgeworth: However, he has lost his gun, his ID, important papers and his sense of self-respect!
2398 - Edgeworth: It is not out of reasonability to suppose that he lost his mind and messed up!
2399 - Payne: And to think that I was scared.
2400 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, what you just spouted is as rubbish as your skills as a defense attorney!
2401 - Judge: You are being held in contempt of court!
2402 - Edgeworth: The hoser… is Dee Jordur!
2403 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, what are you doing?!
2404 - Jordur: What’s a hoser?
2405 - Edgeworth: That’s actually a good question.
2406 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, what is a hoser?
2407 - Judge: What you are if you don’t give me some evidence!
2408 - Edgeworth: I have your evidence right here!
2409 - Edgeworth: There’s lovely plumage on this contradiction, is there not?
2410 - Judge: Why yes, there is!
2411 - Payne: Your Honor, aren’t you getting distracted?
2412 - Judge: Oh, right, the Hoser Inquisition.
2413 - Judge: This evidence does not impress. Youfa ilia fuoy, Mr. Edgeworth.
2414 - Edgeworth: “Youfa ilia fuoy”?
2415 - Judge: It means “you fail”, and it’s a palindrome!
2416 - Judge: The defense is held in contempt!
2417 - Edgeworth: (How did I not see this earlier? The truth was right in front of me!)
2419 - Jordur: And 
2420 - how did Trucy's fingerprints get on that metal thingy
2421 - ? I don’t know how that happened.
2422 - Payne: The obligation of checking the evidence rests with the detective.
2423 - Payne: The detective in charge of this case is… not the best. 
2424 - Jordur: TWME is short for “Trucy Wright: Magician Extraordinaire.”
2426 - Edgeworth: (Although I must admit, I see no
2427 - reason to bring two guns or only throw away one 
2428 - at this time.)
2429 - Gumshoe: Well pal, it’s a simple silvery-blue pistol. 
2430 - We couldn't find any bullets
2431 - , but we did find some prints.
2432 - Judge: Of course. The defendant is a magician, and a top hat is just
2433 - one of a magician's many tools
2434 - .
2435 - Edgeworth: As a magician, the defendant would always wear gloves. It's 
2436 - a magician's trademark
2437 - !
2438 - Payne: All it would take is one time to leave those prints, rookie.
2439 - Jordur: The prop looks perfectly normal, but it can’t be!
2440 - If it is, it contradicts, uh, physics!
2441 - von Karma: That foolishly foolish fool of a detective doesn't know the basics of an investigation!
2443 - Judge: Did you have something to say, Mr. Edgeworth?
2444 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the hoser is Detective Dick Gumshoe.
2445 - Judge: But that was the only testimony which you didn’t find a problem with!
2446 - Edgeworth: That testimony was supposed to be presenting the evidence and indisputable facts of the case. 
2447 - Edgeworth: Not even a person like the detective would expose his incompetency immediately.
2448 - Payne: Immediately?
2449 - Edgeworth: Correct.
2450 - Edgeworth: It is only upon closer examination that the problem in the testimony becomes as apparent as it is to me.
2451 - Edgeworth: This whole trial, there has been one contradiction always looming in the background.  
2452 - Edgeworth: The gun.
2453 - Edgeworth: What motivated the robber to take two? Why throw one away? 
2454 - Edgeworth: How and why did the defendant even get a gun, being a minor?
2455 - Edgeworth: The answer to this is simple.
2456 - Judge: What is it?!
2457 - Edgeworth: The gun in the Court Record isn't a gun at all!
2459 - Payne: You’ve lost it. Too much pressure for you, rookie?
2460 - Edgeworth: I assure you, the only thing breaking down is the prosecution's case.
2461 - Payne: !
2462 - Edgeworth: After all, the "gun" in evidence is actually Trucy Wright's magic prop!
2463 - Judge: Trucy-
2464 - Payne: Wright's-
2465 - Edgeworth: Prop gun, yes.
2469 - Judge: I will have order in here immediately!
2470 - Edgeworth: It shouldn’t take too long to verify my hypothesis.
2471 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, if you are wrong, you will be held in contempt.
2472 - Edgeworth: I am aware.
2473 - Judge: Very well.
2474 - Judge: Bailiff, take this gun in for testing.
2476 - Special sprite: 10 minutes later
2477 - Bailiff: Word has come back from the boys at the lab. They say… the gun is not real.
2478 - Judge: Give me the documents immediately!
2480 - Gun updated in the Court Record.
2481 - Payne: AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
2483 - Judge: That’s enough!
2484 - Judge: This court sees no reason to further prolong this inquisition.
2485 - Judge: Nor is there any need for more time to decide the case against the accused.
2486 - Judge: This case is extremely clear. I see no room for mis- interpretation of the facts.
2487 - Judge: On the charge of being a hoser, this court finds the accused, Detective Dick Gumshoe...
2489 - Judge: The accused will surrender to the court immediately... 
2490 - Judge: To hose down the hockey rinks within a month from today's date.
2491 - Judge: That is all. The inquisition is adjourned!
2493 - Payne: ...
2494 - Phoenix: ...
2495 - Edgeworth: ...
2496 - Jordur: ...
2498 - Special sprite: ...
2499 - Payne: Does this mean... 
2500 - Payne: I'm not a hoser this time?!
2501 - Judge: Correct.
2502 - Payne: Hee hee hee... I'm in my prime now, rookie!
2503 - Edgeworth: (What is wrong with this moron?! I’ve had about as much as I can take of him!)
2504 - Judge: Anyways, where were we?
2505 - Edgeworth: I had just explained that the silver gun was one of Trucy’s props.
2506 - Edgeworth: Thus, it was perfectly natural for the defendant’s fingerprints to be on it.
2508 - Payne: Oh, you honestly believe that! It’s more amusing than you know.
2509 - Edgeworth: Mr. Payne, just get to your objection.
2510 - Payne: Why would the robber be stupid enough to bring a fake gun?
2511 - Edgeworth: Why do you assume it was stupidity?
2512 - Payne: What other reason would the-
2513 - Payne: !
2514 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, are you implying what I believe you are?
2515 - Edgeworth: I believe so.
2516 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur had a plan to frame the defendant for this robbery!
2518 - Payne: You're crazy! Dee Jordur couldn't have gotten that gun!
2520 - Edgeworth: On the contrary, this evidence proves Dee Jordur was uniquely positioned to pilfer that pistol!
2522 - Edgeworth: Here is the evidence!
2523 - Judge: And how does that show how Ms. Jordur was able to steal the gun?
2524 - Edgeworth: I seem to have grabbed the wrong piece of evidence, Your Honor.
2525 - Judge: Perhaps a penalty will keep you from making the same mistake again.
2526 - Edgeworth: (Focus! Dee Jordur stole that gun. I just need to show how she could have easily done that.)
2527 - Payne: The prosecution still maintains that Jordur had no way of getting at the defendant's gun.
2529 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, suppose you wanted to take a fellow judge’s gavel. When would you do it?
2530 - Judge: When the judge wasn't there, but they had just used it or were about to use it.
2531 - Judge: Just after or before a trial.
2532 - Judge: Not that I would do something like that, eh?
2533 - Edgeworth: I believe that Ms. Jordur had a very similar idea to your own.
2535 - Payne: The prosecution demands proof!
2537 - Edgeworth: Then let me finish!
2538 - Edgeworth: I direct your attention to the schedule. Particularly to the names of Wednesday's performers.
2539 - Judge: Dee Jordur is right after Trucy! She could easily have stolen it!
2540 - Judge: Ms. Jordur, what do you have to say for yourself?!
2541 - Jordur: ...
2542 - Phoenix: Have you noticed that she’s been silent for a while now?
2543 - Edgeworth: She hasn’t said a word since the “Hoser Inquisition” began.
2544 - Phoenix: Silence like that isn’t normal for somebody who has just been accused.
2545 - Payne: Ms. Jordur?
2546 - Jordur: ...
2547 - Judge: Ms. Jordur, this court asks for your response to Mr. Edgeworth’s new statements.
2548 - Judge: If you do not respond, it will be taken as a confession!
2550 - Jordur: A confession?
2551 - Jordur: Mr. Judge, you are so funny!
2552 - Jordur: Why would I want to confess to something I never did?
2553 - Jordur: I’ve been a good little girl, haven’t I?
2554 - Edgeworth: No, you haven't.
2555 - Jordur: Is it okay if I respond to what Mr. Lawyer said now?
2556 - Judge: Of course!
2558 - Judge: Witness, testify!
2559 - Jordur: Thanks!
2562 - Special sprite: - - - - The Fundamental Flaw - - - -
2563 - Special sprite: - - - - The Fundamental Flaw - - - -
2564 - Jordur: Y
2565 - Special sprite: ou make me laugh, Mr. Lawyer, and when I start, I can’t stop! 
2566 - Jordur: I 
2567 - Special sprite: think you want to accuse me of taking that money and trying to make it look like Trucy did it.
2568 - Jordur: I 
2569 - Special sprite: still don’t get how I could have left that brown hair, but I don’t think you want to talk about that.
2570 - Jordur: D
2571 - Special sprite: o you have anything showing that I did this? Everything I’ve seen so far looks like a fairy tale.
2572 - Jordur: I 
2573 - Special sprite: may not have seen Trucy, but I thought I did! It was a coinky-dink that the metal thingy said so too!
2574 - Jordur: I 
2575 - Special sprite: think Trucy tried to make it look like she did it so that she could claim she was a victim later.
2576 - Jordur: W
2577 - Special sprite: hat do you think, Mr. Lawyer?
2578 - Judge: Hmm...
2579 - Judge: As the witness has said, the defense has not yet prevented any decisive evidence of their theory.
2580 - Payne: That’s right! You may have been right about the guns, rookie, but that doesn’t change the evidence!
2581 - Payne: The defendant still did it, and if you had any proof to the contrary, you would have presented it by now.
2582 - Judge: Now Mr. Edgeworth, please begin your cross-examination.
2583 - Edgeworth: (I get the distinct sense that this is the final cross- examination for the trial…)
2584 - Edgeworth: (I need to come up with something that directly ties her in to the crime, and fast!)
2587 - Special sprite: - - - - The Fundamental Flaw - - - -
2588 - - - - - The Fundamental Flaw - - - -
2591 - Jordur: You make me laugh, Mr. Lawyer, and when I start, I can’t stop! 
2592 - Jordur: I think you want to accuse me of taking that money and trying to make it look like Trucy did it.
2593 - Jordur: I still don’t get how I could have left that brown hair, but I don’t think you want to talk about that.
2594 - Jordur: Do you have anything showing that I did this? Everything I’ve seen so far looks like a fairy tale.
2595 - Jordur: I may not have seen Trucy, but I thought I did! It was a coinky-dink that the metal thingy said so too!
2596 - Jordur: I think Trucy tried to make it look like she did it so that she could claim she was a victim later.
2597 - Jordur: I think she did everything she could to seem bad, but leave a way out. She wanted double jeopardy.
2598 - Jordur: What do you think, Mr. Lawyer?
2601 - Edgeworth: Not even Kristoph Gavin would make such a ridiculous argument.
2602 - Phoenix: Regardless, you have to break it.
2603 - Edgeworth: How am I possibly supposed to connect Jordur to the actual robbery?
2604 - Phoenix: Well... I'd look at the evidence related to the actual robbery.
2605 - Edgeworth: ... That's everything but the schedule and my cardboard badge.
2606 - Phoenix: See, I ruled that evidence out!
2607 - Phoenix: Any other advice?
2608 - Phoenix: Make a guess and hope you get lucky.
2609 - Edgeworth: … This is why you are not a prosecutor.
2610 - Edgeworth: You need to learn to plan. I would have if I had any evidence before the trial.
2614 - Edgeworth: I assure you, this is no laughing matter.
2615 - Jordur: Well, it is for me.
2616 - Edgeworth: But you’re the one I’m accusing!
2617 - Jordur: I know.
2618 - Edgeworth: How can you remain so calm?!
2620 - Payne: Your Honor, the defense is badgering the witness.
2621 - Judge: Sustained.
2622 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, if you want to get into an argument with the witness, present evidence first.
2626 - Edgeworth: Why do you think that?
2627 - Jordur: Well, isn’t that what you’ve been saying?
2628 - Edgeworth: ... Point taken.
2629 - Jordur: You’re funny when you’re forgetful.
2630 - Edgeworth: (This woman seems to understand that I’m accusing her, but she refuses to take it seriously.)
2634 - Edgeworth: ...
2635 - Judge: Does the defense have a question for the witness?
2636 - Edgeworth: (Wright’s cursed habit of pressing everything must be wearing off on me.)
2637 - Edgeworth: Well, there were several possibilities as to how you could have left a brown hair.
2638 - Edgeworth: You could have dyed it.
2639 - Jordur: But I didn't! Test my hair if you want!
2640 - Edgeworth: Test the hair?
2641 - Phoenix: You’d be surprised what scientific tests can reveal.
2642 - Phoenix: A mutual friend told me all about it.
2643 - Payne: Regardless, the defense can't yet explain how the witness could have left the hair.
2644 - Judge: Quite right. Mr. Edgeworth, you should be moving on, eh?
2648 - Edgeworth: Please, explain how this is a fairy tale.
2649 - Jordur: Well, I’m new to this law thing, but isn’t there stuff called evidence that you’re supposed to have?
2650 - Jordur: I just don’t see how, in the eyes of the law, your story is anything but a story unless you have proof.
2651 - Judge: The witness is quite right!
2652 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, you will need to present decisive evidence if you want to get a “not guilty” verdict.
2653 - Edgeworth: (I was afraid of that.)
2654 - Edgeworth: (How can I pull any decisive evidence of Jordur’s guilt from what I have?)
2658 - Edgeworth: You honestly expect the court to believe that it is a coincidence?
2659 - Jordur: Yeah.
2660 - Edgeworth: ...
2661 - Judge: Explain.
2662 - Jordur: Well, I didn’t commit the crime, but seeing that robber was the only way I knew what happened.
2663 - Jordur: The only thing I can think of is that it was just a coincidence!
2664 - Judge: This is very unlikely.
2665 - Edgeworth: Not to mention that you admit that your testimony was totally wrong.
2666 - Jordur: Yeah, but it’s just like a bad batch of cookies using the perfect recipe!
2667 - Jordur: It’s really sad and not likely, but it can still happen.
2668 - Edgeworth: (Do I have the evidence to dispute her claim at this point? If so, I need to present it.)
2672 - Edgeworth: And what leads you to that conclusion?
2673 - Jordur: I’m trying to think of a reason for her to throw that first gun away.
2674 - Jordur: The one that I can come up with is that she wanted it to be found.
2675 - Edgeworth: And why would she want that?
2676 - Jordur: Well, my guess is she wanted to be accused and then found not guilty.
2677 - Jordur: Isn’t there some legal thingy that would make that good?
2678 - Phoenix: She’s talking about
2679 - double jeopardy
2680 - .
2681 - Phoenix: Once a person is found not guilty, they can never be retried unless there was a mistrial. 
2682 - Phoenix: I’m surprised she thought of it.
2683 - Jordur: Double jeopardy, that's it!
2684 - Jordur: She did everything she could to make it look like she did, but leave a way out! 
2685 - Jordur: That way, she could get a not guilty verdict, preventing her from every having being tried again!
2686 - Edgeworth: Interesting.
2687 - Jordur: I'll say it again if you like.
2688 - Edgeworth: The defense demands that this statement be added to the record.
2689 - Judge: Very well.
2691 - Judge: Witness, please add the statement.
2696 - Edgeworth: How do you know about something like double jeopardy?
2697 - Jordur: Well, I took a class on, uh, constee-, institu, no, that’s not it…
2698 - Edgeworth: The United States Constitution?
2699 - Jordur: Yeah, that’s it! I needed to get a credit on government!
2700 - Edgeworth: You remember double jeopardy, but you can’t remember the name of the document that provides for it?!
2701 - Jordur: Well, I tend to remember interesting things. 
2702 - Jordur: That a person can’t be tried for the same crime after they’ve been giving a not guilty interests me.
2703 - Jordur: The word “Constitution” doesn’t.
2705 - Payne: This conversation is getting nowhere.
2706 - Judge: Sustained.
2707 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, ask about another thing. We are not here to discuss Ms. Jordur’s college schedule.
2711 - Edgeworth: I think that it’s a load of nonsense.
2712 - Jordur: Which part?
2713 - Edgeworth: All of it.
2714 - Jordur: Oh? How do you know?
2715 - Edgeworth: Do you honestly expect the court to believe that you accused Trucy by coincidence?
2716 - Jordur: Yes.
2717 - Edgeworth: That she somehow wanted to be accused?
2718 - Jordur: Yes.
2719 - Jordur: If my theory is so crazy, show some evidence. If your theory is better, show me some evidence.
2720 - Jordur: Explaining that brown hair would be a good start.
2721 - Edgeworth: Ack!
2722 - Judge: Agreed! Present evidence!
2729 - Edgeworth: Ms. Jordur.
2730 - Jordur: Yes, Mr. Lawyer?
2731 - Edgeworth: Let me verify this. 
2732 - Edgeworth: Your theory is that Trucy wanted to seem suspicious, so that she could be arrested and tried.
2733 - Edgeworth: She then wanted her frame-up of herself to be exposed, giving her a not guilty.
2734 - Edgeworth: Double jeopardy would prevent her from being tried with real evidence.
2735 - Jordur: Wow, your hearing must be great! Have you been eating carrot cake?
2736 - Judge: Actually, carrots are supposed to help eyesight, not hearing.
2737 - Edgeworth: So, I am correct in my understanding?
2739 - Payne: She just said you were! Stop badgering my witness!
2740 - Edgeworth: In that case, the defense has a single question for the witness.
2741 - Edgeworth: If your theory is correct, then why did Trucy not leave behind her fingerprints on the note?
2742 - Jordur: Fingerprints on the note?
2743 - Edgeworth: The issue that Trucy's fingerprints were not found on the note was brought up before you testified.
2744 - Edgeworth: You would think that if she was trying to frame herself, she would leave some fingerprints there.
2745 - Edgeworth: She could easily get out of it. All she would need to say is that she loaded Wonder Bar's printer.
2746 - Edgeworth: It would explain her prints and incriminate you.
2747 - Jordur: Well, it was just a theory. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
2748 - Edgeworth: That’s it? That’s all you have to say?
2749 - Jordur: Yep. All I did was propose an idea. It didn’t work. That’s okay. 
2750 - Jordur: But still, the only evidence you have that Trucy wasn’t the robber was that I was the real robber.
2751 - Edgeworth: I have plenty of evidence supporting that!
2752 - Jordur: Oh, can I see it? All I’ve heard is explanations, but no evidence! 
2753 - Jordur: It’s like a meal without dessert, and I do have a little sweet tooth.
2754 - Edgeworth: Well, the defense has, err…
2756 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, this court has had just about enough of your stalling. 
2757 - Judge: Does the defense have evidence of Ms. Jordur’s guilt or not?
2758 - Edgeworth: (This has been the problem this whole trial.)
2759 - Edgeworth: (Payne’s investigation focused only on the scene of the crime.)
2760 - Edgeworth: (I shouldn't have been able to get this far without having investigated the witness or the witnessing.)
2761 - Edgeworth: (I know what Wright would do. Prove it.)
2762 - Edgeworth: (But I am not Wright. I do not bluff. I need facts.)
2763 - Edgeworth: (Jordur’s guilt is the only explanation that works, but this entire claim is a bluff…)
2764 - Edgeworth: (And yet, I am a defense attorney…)
2766 - Edgeworth: Wright. What would you do?
2767 - Phoenix: I would prove it all.
2768 - Edgeworth: How?!
2769 - Phoenix: Hmm… I’m not really sure.
2770 - Edgeworth: (Well, you're being just as helpful as ever.)
2771 - Edgeworth: (I had best think carefully and not do anything, even blink or twitch, until I'm sure.)
2772 - Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. You need to answer now. Does the defense have proof of Ms. Jordur’s guilt or not?
2773 - Edgeworth: Your Honor, the defense…
2774 - Edgeworth: The defense can prove it.
2779 - Judge: You have one shot, Mr. Edgeworth. Present the decisive evidence proving Ms. Jordur's guilt!
2782 - Edgeworth: This is the defense’s evidence, Your Honor!
2783 - Judge: That is the defense’s final evidence?
2784 - Edgeworth: Yes, this is the defense’s final piece of evidence!
2785 - Judge: I couldn’t have said it better myself.
2786 - Judge: Ultimate penalty, Mr. Edgeworth. I honestly expected better.
2787 - Edgeworth: The defense cannot prove it.
2788 - Payne: Hee hee hee… 
2789 - Payne: You should have known from the beginning, rookie. 
2790 - Payne: You could never prove the defendant to be not guilty.
2791 - Payne: She was guilty! She robbed that bank!
2792 - Payne: There may be some minor flaws in the witness’s testimony, but that doesn’t change a thing!
2794 - Edgeworth: Does it?
2795 - Edgeworth: We have only 
2796 - three reasons 
2797 - to suspect Trucy Wright of the crime.
2798 - Edgeworth: Her fingerprints are on the gun, her gun was found. and Dee Jordur saw her.
2799 - Edgeworth: However, the witness testimony has been damaged beyond repair.
2800 - Edgeworth: The gun was a prop that Dee Jordur could easily have stolen.
2801 - Edgeworth: Neither testimony nor evidence incriminates the defendant.
2802 - Payne: But you don’t have a proven idea either!
2803 - Edgeworth: And when did I claim my theory was proven? 
2804 - Edgeworth: The defense believes Dee Jordur to have committed the crime, and we have 
2805 - three reasons for suspicion
2806 - .
2807 - Edgeworth: Her testimony is a lie.
2808 - Edgeworth: Her testimony required information that only a witness or the criminal could possibly have known.
2809 - Edgeworth: She was the person who could have framed the defendant with the most ease and simplicity.
2810 - Payne: But you don’t have proof!
2812 - Edgeworth: Neither do you. 
2813 - Edgeworth: The prosecution has no evidence implying that the defendant is guilty of any wrongdoing. 
2814 - Edgeworth: The defense has no evidence implying that the witness is guilty of any crime, besides perjury. 
2815 - Edgeworth: We both have explanations, but neither of us has proof.
2816 - Judge: The defense has a point. The prosecution and defense are in the same position at this time.
2817 - Judge: Does the prosecution have a response?
2818 - Payne: The lack of contradicting evidence is reason enough to pass a guilty verdict.
2820 - Edgeworth: Contradicting evidence to what?
2821 - Edgeworth: The only evidence incriminating the defendant is a prop gun which could easily have been planted.
2822 - Edgeworth: Why else leave the gun on the ground?
2823 - Payne: The defense's evidence is equally flimsy!
2824 - Payne: If anybody could hallucinate a testimony, it is this witness!
2825 - Judge: Both the defense and prosecution have points! 
2826 - Judge: I don’t know if I care for this!
2827 - Edgeworth: The defense has a simple request. 
2828 - Edgeworth: Adjourn the court and give the attorneys time to gather additional evidence to support their cases.
2829 - Judge: Hmm... It is getting a bit late for a trial.
2830 - Judge: Does the prosecution have any comment on the proposal?
2831 - Payne: That self-help book told me all I needed was confidence to get what I wanted!
2832 - Payne: I was confident, but I still can't get a guilty verdict!
2833 - Payne: I wasted twenty dollars on that!
2834 - Judge: ...
2835 - Payne: No objections, Your Honor.
2836 - Judge: Seeing no objections-
2842 - Jordur: Mr. Judge, I think that you’re trying to cook this batter too fast.
2843 - Jordur: Didn’t you remember what Mr. Prosecutor said earlier?
2844 - Jordur: The hairs in the mask were going to be tested.
2845 - Jordur: I don’t know how long a DNA test takes, or what DNA is, but I think that you should wait for it.
2846 - Edgeworth: (She’s right. The person who wore that mask would have left that hair in that mask!) 
2847 - Edgeworth: The defense retracts its request for an extension until we know when the new evidence will arrive.
2848 - Judge: Excuse me?
2849 - Payne: The witness is quite right. It would be foolish not to wait for this new evidence.
2850 - Payne: The prosecution retracts its request for adjournment.
2851 - Judge: Very well then.
2852 - Judge: Bailiff-
2853 - Bailiff: The report just came in, Your Honor.
2854 - Judge: What does it say?!
2855 - Bailiff: According to DNA testing, the hair found in the mask belongs to…
2856 - Bailiff: Abigail Bracole.
2857 - Judge: But that’s impossible! No “Abigail Bracole” is related to this case!
2858 - Bailiff: Further research shows that Bracole was a private in the military.
2859 - Bailiff: She committed suicide two months ago, while still in training.
2861 - Edgeworth: The results must be mistaken.
2862 - Judge: But according to these papers, the tests were done a second time to check for errors!
2863 - Judge: The court will have to accept this evidence!
2865 - Mask updated in the Court Record.
2866 - Payne: W-What does this mean?!
2867 - Judge: I’m not sure. 
2868 - Judge: What I do know is that court is being adjourned for the day. 
2869 - Judge: Prosecution and defense are to investigate this matter and come up with proof for trial tomorrow. 
2870 - Jordur: I told you it was important!
2871 - Judge: Court is adjourned.
2874 - Phoenix: Edgeworth, how could you have missed that?!
2875 - Phoenix: There was one piece of evidence that's been really off, and Trucy's magical identity explains it!
2876 - Phoenix: I guess this wasn't meant to be.
2878 - Judge: That's enough!
2879 - Judge: This court sees no reason to further prolong this trial. 
2880 - Judge: Nor is there any need for more time to decide the case against the defendant. 
2881 - Judge: This case is extremely clear. I see no room for mis- interpretation of the facts.
2882 - Judge: This court finds the defendant, Trucy Wright…
2884 - Judge: The accused will surrender to the court immediately... 
2885 - Judge: ...to be held pending trial at a higher court within a month from today's date.
2886 - Judge: That is all.
2887 - Judge: Court is adjourned.
