The First Turnabout quotes
"Winston Payne"

- Ahem. Mr. Butz. Is it not true that the victim had recently dumped you?

"Larry Butz"

- Hey, watch it buddy! We were great together! We were Romeo and Juliet, Cleopatra and Mark Anthony!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Um... didn't they all die?)

"Larry Butz"

- I wasn't dumped! She just wasn't taking my phone calls. Or seeing me... Ever. WHAT'S IT TO YOU, ANYWAY!?

"Winston Payne"

- Mr. Butz, what you describe is generally what we mean by "dumped."

Turnabout Sisters quotes
"Phoenix Wright"

- Um... Gumshoe, wasn't it? Dick Gumshoe?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Right! At your service. Hang on! That's Detective Gumshoe to you, pal! Anyway, get the name right. And don't go calling me "Dick"...

"Police"

- Hey, Dick! Get over here!

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Y-yes, sir! B-be right there!

"Phoenix Wright"

- It's not something I can claim to understand... But you and Mr. White are lovers, aren't you!

"Marvin Grossberg"

- W-w-what! My boy!

"Phoenix Wright"

- You sent that painting to him! As a sign! A sign of undying love!

"Marvin Grossberg"

- M-m-my boy, please! You're letting your fancies run away with you! Where do you get these bizarre ideas?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I... I don't understand how you could...

"Marvin Grossberg"

- That's because I'm not, we're not... Don't be ridiculous! Enough. I'll swallow my pride and tell you all.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I knew it! They are lovers!)

"Marvin Grossberg"

- N-no! We are NOT lovers!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Right. Okay, listen up. I want you to help me break out of here!

"Maya Fey"

- You mean... a jail break?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yeah. Tonight's our only chance!

"Maya Fey"

- Alright!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh?

"Maya Fey"

- Oh, I'd better go get a hacksaw while the stores are still open. Oh, oh! And a rope ladder, and a getaway car! Can you drive?

"Phoenix Wright"

- If I heard correctly... You said you arrested her because you had "hard evidence" she did it, correct?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Huh? Did... did I say that? Me?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I heard you say it!

"Judge"

- You did say it.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- You said it.

"April May"

- YOU AGAIN!? Can't you take a hint and stay gone?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Hey, the only reason I'm back here is because YOU won't talk to me!

"April May"

- Oh, so it's MY fault now? You don't just have spiky hair, you also have a spiky heart.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (That does it. When this case is done I'm shaving my head.)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Please state your full name.

"Redd White"

- You wish to know the title of my personage?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Er... your name?

"Redd White"

- Yes! That is what I said! Oh dear, do my locutions confuse?

"Miles Edgeworth"

-  Name!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (These two are great together...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Heh. Looks like we're about to get our verdict!)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- That's far enough, Phoenix Wright!

"Phoenix Wright"

- W-what!? (Urk! I forgot about Edgeworth!)

"Phoenix Wright"

- You are sure it was Miss April May herself?

"Bellboy"

- Ab-SO-lutely, sir.

"Phoenix Wright"

- "Ab-SO-lutely"...?

"Bellboy"

- Yes, sir. As in, "so very absolutely," sir. It's an endearing mannerism of mine.

"Redd White"

- She turned, and ran for the door!

"Phoenix Wright"

- What did you do then?

"Redd White"

- I gave chase, of course! ...! No! No! Not me.

Turnabout Samurai quotes
"Maya Fey"

- Look, a ladder!

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's a "step"-ladder.

"Maya Fey"

- So? What's the difference? You need to stop judging things based on narrow-minded cultural assumptions, Nick!

"Phoenix Wright"

- R-right... sorry. (This girl is OUT there!)

"Mia Fey"

- My poor plant! It looks so... so sluggish! Have you been watering it properly, Phoenix?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Um, well, Maya has actually... I think maybe she's giving it too much.

"Mia Fey"

- That child! Sorry, Charley.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (The plant's name is... Charley?)

"Dee Vasquez"

- At 2:30, we took a 15-minute break in the meeting.

"Phoenix Wright"

- And what were you doing during that time...?

"Dee Vasquez"

- Don't hit your desk, it irritates me.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Yeah, Mr. Wright...! Oops.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Now, where were you on the day of the murder?

"Will Powers"

- Well, that morning I came to studios at 9:00. We worked through some action scenes until noon. Rehearsal was to begin at 5:00, but I was a little tired. So after lunch, I took a nap in my dressing room. When I woke up, it was after 5:00! I was late for the rehearsal! I hurried to the studio... and found everyone looking shocked. They arrested me on the spot, and brought me here.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (So he was sleeping the entire afternoon of the murder? Some action hero!)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Will the witness declare her name?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- ... Hmm? My, aren't you a handsome fellow! I'm afraid I'm a bit flustered!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Y-your name, please!

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Oh, dearie! No need for you to be embarrassed! Just call me "grandma."

"Miles Edgeworth"

- YOUR NAME, PLEASE!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Seems Edgeworth has a bit of trouble getting his witnesses to say their names...)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- So Powers sprained his ankle. I helped make it better for him, of course.

"Judge"

- You... helped make it better?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- I kissed it where it hurt.

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Wendy Oldbag, dearie. So just call me "grandma." It's practically my name! So even when I was young I was an Oldbag, but not really that was just my name dearie. Still how the other children would make fun of me and just because of my name can you believe it? But there was this boy, the captain of the chess club in junior high, and when he called me an old bag well I just cried and cried because I had a crush on him you see--

"Miles Edgeworth"

- O-objection! I... object to the witness's talkativeness.

"Judge"

- Objection sustained! The witness will refrain from rambling on the stand.

"Wendy Oldbag"

- I was at the main gate from then until 5:00!

"Phoenix Wright"

- So you were watching there the WHOLE time? No breaks? Not even a second?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- O-of course! I am a professional, you know! Or are you criticizing how I do my job!? Whippersnapper!

"Phoenix Wright"

- No, it's just, after seeing you eating those donuts in the guard station yesterday...

"Wendy Oldbag"

- I can watch the gate and eat donuts at the same time! Snipperwhapper!

"Maya Fey"

- "Snipperwhapper"...? Old windbag is losing it, Nick.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Why don't you raise an objection?

"Judge"

- No one in this court is accusing you of that, Ms... er, witness.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (He's having trouble calling her "Oldbag" apparently...)

"Judge"

- However, you do not have proof that the person in this photo is Mr. Will Powers, do you?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Humph! Nosy old man! Of course I have proof!

"Phoenix Wright"

- What!?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Huh!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Even Edgeworth is surprised!?)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- How was I to know everyone would be so nosy! You should be ashamed, all of you! Anyway, I showed that photo to the young detective. He told me "this isn't any good as evidence, pal." He didn't even give it a second look!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Wow, old windbag has left even Edgeworth speechless. She's good!)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- I never say anything I don't mean, mind you!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Umm...

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Whippersnapper!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Hey, I haven't said anything yet!)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- I'll have you know I'm not pointing fingers at anyone behind their backs! Everything I've said is on the straight and narrow! The up and up! Youth today! Always whining about each other, pointing fingers this way and that! It's enough to make an old lady want to cry...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Mr. Wright! Please, for all our sakes, try not to upset the witness!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I think Edgeworth has met his match...)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- You let'em have it, Edgey-boy!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (E-Edgey-boy...?)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...

"Judge"

- Umm... Mr. Wright? We all know that.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Right.

"Judge"

- Perhaps you'd like to reconsider your last statement?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... I'm sorry. It was I who was wrong.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Okay, Wright! First you're right, now you're wrong!? Which is it!?

"Maya Fey"

- Nick? I think her guard's down...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Y-yeah?

"Maya Fey"

- I bet we could even eat those donuts in the guard station... if we wanted.

"Wendy Oldbag"

- ... You eat, you die.

"Maya Fey"

- Whew! She's alive!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Are you seriously suggesting that is possible!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... Of course I’m not serious.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Ha... hah!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I was kidding. To, er, lighten up the proceedings.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Li..light... Lighten!? Y-you can’t lighten up a murder!

"Judge"

- Mr. Wright. The court requests you refrain from making claims in jest.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Y-yes, Your Honor.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ms. Vasquez! You did it!

"Dee Vasquez"

- ... That wasn’t a question.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... Um, did you do it?

"Dee Vasquez"

- No.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Please tell us what you saw that day.

"Cody Hackins"

- What, pops? You want me to tell you and gramps with the beard over there?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Just.. Mr. Edgeworth will be fine.

"Judge"

- I prefer "bearded gentleman" myself.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (A very long day...)

"Judge"

- Incidentally, photographic equipment is strictly forbidden in this courtroom.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- M-mpht! M-my apologies, Your Honor. He said he wouldn't testify if he couldn't bring it... I'd like special permission, if that's possible.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Wait, so you're saying you had to bargain terms with a kid... and you LOST?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...

"Judge"

- Yes, Mr. Wright?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I was hoping I'd come up with a question while pounding on my desk. I didn't.

"Judge"

- ...You have my sympathies.

[later] "Miles Edgeworth"

- ...

"Judge"

- Yes, Mr. Edgeworth?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- I was hoping to come up with a question while I was objecting, Your Honor... I didn't.

"Judge"

- I see... Very well.

"Phoenix Wright"

- There was no victim in this case!

"Judge"

- Wh-wh-what!? Has the defense taken leave of its senses!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Of course, Jack Hammer died. But the Steel Samurai fell too! It was a draw!

"Phoenix Wright"

- The remains of yesterday's lunch are scattered around. Everyone was probably too shocked to clean up. There's a t-bone on one of the plates, minus the steak.

"Maya Fey"

- Mmm! T-bone steak! That would have hit the spot.

"Phoenix Wright"

- You just had a burger!

"Maya Fey"

- Yeah, but I have a second stomach just for steaks.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (What!?)

[later] "Phoenix Wright"

- There's a bunch of snacks on the table. They must give these to the employees. Some tea and cookies...

"Maya Fey"

- Nick... I'm hungry!

"Phoenix Wright"

- You just had a burger!

"Maya Fey"

- Yeah, but I have a separate stomach for sweets!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (How many stomachs does this girl have!?)

"Phoenix Wright"

- It's never a good idea to reveal your hand to the enemy too soon.

"Maya Fey"

- Nick! You're craftier than I gave you credit for. Why, you could be the next... Evil Magistrate!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Hey! Why do I have to be the villain.

"Maya Fey"

- Hey, Nick... It's Ms. Vasquez! Hello?

"Dee Vasquez"

- ...

"Maya Fey"

- H-E-L-L-O!

"Dee Vasquez"

- ...

"Maya Fey"

- H! E! L! L! O!

"Phoenix Wright"

- How is Edgeworth doing, anyway?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Edgeworth is out of control! He was in the waiting room and he crushed this paper cup with hot, hot coffee in it.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Whoa...

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Talk about burns, pal!

"Maya Fey"

- Wow! The fury of Edgeworth!

"Phoenix Wright"

- No... no, I can't. See, this card isn't really even mine.

"Penny Nichols"

- !!! I... I see. O-of course. Of course it wouldn't be yours. Of course you couldn't trade it with me. Of course I won't ever get that card, ever. Of course I don't even really deserve that card.

"Mia Fey"

- Phoenix, do something! She's blacking out!

"Phoenix Wright"

- O-o-okay, okay! I'll trade!

Turnabout Goodbyes quotes
"Phoenix Wright"

- Detective Gumshoe? Do you know what happened here?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Huh? You don’t know, pal?

"Phoenix Wright"

- No...

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Wow, okay, Mr. head-in-the-fluffy-pink-clouds Lawyer.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Head-in-the... huh?

"Maya Fey"

- ... Looks like Detective Gumshoe isn’t here.

"Chief"

- Something wrong, miss? Hmm? Turning yourself in? Okay, what did you do? Shoplifting? Larceny? Public indecency...?

"Maya Fey"

- N-no! None of those things! We’re looking for Detective Gumshoe... is he around?

"Chief"

- Gumshoe? Oh yeah. He’s in a meeting right now. I don’t think he’ll be out any time soon.

"Maya Fey"

- Okay, we’ll come back.

"Chief"

- You do that. Oh, and go straight home and stay out of trouble. No more shoplifting, you got that?

"Maya Fey"

- ... Do I look like a criminal or something?

"Maya Fey"

- I was just wondering, why are camping pots and pans made of aluminum?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... They didn't talk about that in any of the law books.

"Maya Fey"

- So, there's no law saying they have to be made out of aluminum, then!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I'm not having this conversation...)

"Maya Fey"

- Look, Nick, he has an electric blanket on his table! Looks warm! That's a great idea, we should do that at the office. We can sit down with our clients, snug and warm, and drink hot cocoa!

"Phoenix Wright"

- And what, talk about murders?

"Maya Fey"

- Aw, you're a party pooper, Nick!

"Lotta Hart"

- It was Christmas Eve, just after midnight, I reckon.

"Phoenix Wright"

- "Just after midnight," you say? In other words, it was no longer Christmas Eve... but Christmas Day!

"Lotta Hart"

- Huh? Uh, yeah, well, yes.

"Manfred von Karma"

- I know you want to find contradictions, but really!

"Judge"

- That's... quite a bird. Please tell us your name?

"Polly"

- ...

"Judge"

- Name!

"Polly"

- ...

"Judge"

- The witness is ignoring me.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (It must be hurt... to be ignored by a bird.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Exactly, Your Honor! He remembered the name of his fiancee who committed suicide. That's why he named his parrot after her!

"Judge"

- I see! I guess that is possible.

"Manfred von Karma"

- Bah! A mere coincidence, that's all! My granddaughter has a dog she calls "Phoenix." Well, Mr. Phoenix Wright? Does this make you my granddaughter's fiancee!? She's only seven years old!!!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- So, you've come to laugh at the fallen attorney? Then laugh, laugh! Well? Why aren't you laughing?

"Maya Fey"

- Nick... Should we be laughing?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Nah. It's a trick. Laugh and he'll get mad... or burst into tears.

"Phoenix Wright"

- I feel winter's chill from the bare leaf trees today... *sigh* What is it about winter that turns people into poets?

"Maya Fey"

- I don't know, but my toes are starting to feel numb.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Yes... my poetry has that effect on some people.)

"Polly"

- "..."

"Phoenix Wright"

- Witness, you're here to speak! You must speak to me!

"Polly"

- "..."

"Manfred von Karma"

- Frankly, I can't believe that you're speaking to the parrot.

"Manfred von Karma"

- Raaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

"Judge"

- E-excuse me? Mr. von Karma?

"Manfred von Karma"

- Three minutes just passed.

"Judge"

- I see. Well then, let's just take our time.

Rise from the Ashes quotes
"Ema Skye"

- This is where the cars leave the lot.

"Phoenix Wright"

- The arrow on the ground makes it look more like an entrance.

"Ema Skye"

- What are you talking about? It's plainly an exit!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Well, maybe it's both. Kind of a dual purpose?

"Ema Skye"

- Ah huh! The theory of relativity!

"Phoenix Wright"

- What? Uh...

"Ema Skye"

- I've got to write this down. Ah! Hey, hey, Mr. Wright! Maybe you know... Was Mr. Relativity, German? Or was he British?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Mr. Relativity? Are you sure that was his name?

"Ema Skye"

- You know, I never did care for the word, "tag." It's confusing.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh? What's so confusing about that?

"Ema Skye"

- Do you know how many other words sound like it? "Bag," "Gag," "Nag," "Lag," "Xag"...

"Phoenix Wright"

- "Xag"...? Is that a word?

"Ema Skye"

- Do you challenge me...?

"Phoenix Wright"

- What, are we playing a word game now?

"Ema Skye"

- It says "SECURITY." Perhaps it's a cafe?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh?

"Ema Skye"

- "Cafe Security"... Yeah, that must be it. Let's check it out later!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Um. I hate to break it to you, but I think that's probably just a security guard office.

"Ema Skye"

- ... You know, I scored a 97 on my science test the other day!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Too bad they don't have a test for common sense.)

"Ema Skye"

- This rope... is it...?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yep. They laid it in the outline of the victim's body.

"Ema Skye"

- ... So wait...The victim must have died when the killer closed the trunk on him!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... (You have got to be the only person I know that would come to that conclusion.)

"Ema Skye"

- There's a jacket framed on the wall like a painting! The fabric is high-grade cashmere... Italian styling... Silk ruffles, turquoise buttons, and a gold thread collar. I'm guessing it's worth around $5,000.

"Phoenix Wright"

- F-five thousand dollars!?

"Ema Skye"

- Speaking of which, your suit would be about...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Th-that's enough of that. I don't need my life appraised thank you very much.

"Ema Skye"

- Mr. Edgeworth has such a comfy sofa!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Sofas like this make me want to curl up and take a nap.

"Ema Skye"

- I bet he pours over his case files here until the wee hours of the morning... Then he takes off his jacket, rolls up his sleeves... And goes to sleep using his arms as a pillow!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I don't believe it. She's actually daydreaming about Edgeworth working...)

"Ema Skye"

- I bet in the morning he has sofa hair, and little creases in his cheek from the seams! He's so cool!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Sofa-hair is cool!?

"Ema Skye"

- So... what are you doing here, Detective Gumshoe?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Me? Oh, well... nothing, really. They kicked me out of Criminal Affairs...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Detective Gumshoe! What did you do this time?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Whaddya mean, "this time"!?

"Ema Skye"

- This must be the victim's blood, right?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Either that, or Edgeworth cut himself peeling an apple. What's Edgeworth doing with a knife like this anyway?

"Ema Skye"

- Hey! Maybe he spends his weekends roughing it in the wild!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Edgeworth? In the wild? I think my fruit-peeling theory is more likely.

"Ema Skye"

- Are you kidding? I always pictured him as an outdoorsman!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Now there's a scary thought...)

"Angel Starr"

- How many lunchboxes of sin did she pack to make that journey, I wonder!

"Ema Skye"

- She... always travels light.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Very well, witness. Please describe the incident to us.

"Judge"

- The prosecution will wait! I'm not finished eating...

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Hurry it up!)

"Phoenix Wright"

- I think! I mean, it's highly likely that's where she was.

"Angel Starr"

- You "think"?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- It's "highly likely"?

"Ema Skye"

- Your cavalier attitude stands in stark contrast to your feeble argument, Mr. Wright.

"Angel Starr"

- Nothing else could drive that human machine to plunge the knife in again and again...

"Phoenix Wright"

- A "human machine"!? That's a contradiction!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Please... Can't you find fault with something of substance, Mr. Wright?

"Ema Skye"

- Note to self: Mr. Edgeworth's sighs smell like citrus fruit.

"Angel Starr"

- Lana Skye intended to murder Detective Goodman!

"Phoenix Wright"

- You've said that, but you haven't told us how you know!

"Angel Starr"

- That's what I'm about to tell you Rookie!

"Judge"

- I believe what she just said was a mere prelude to the story she is about to tell. Try not to interrupt her again.

"Angel Starr"

- Rookie... Never interrupt a storyteller! It's like pulling a bun out of the over half-baked!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Something's half-baked here alright, and it's you!)

"Angel Starr"

- I'm sure the Chief Prosecutor had a grudge against the victim.

"Phoenix Wright"

- What kind of "grudge"!?

"Angel Starr"

- Well, I wouldn't know that.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Of course you don't! That's because she didn't have a grudge!

"Angel Starr"

- Rookie... I have a lunchbox here. Now... what's inside?

"Phoenix Wright"

- H-How am I supposed to know!?

"Angel Starr"

- See? We agree there is a lunchbox here, but we don't know what's inside! A person's life is like a lunchbox with pretzels. Don't you agree?

"Judge"

- I-I get it! That's why my lunch was so salty!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (This judge isn't very good with metaphors...)

"Jake Marshall"

- The bloodstain and the fingerprint are completely unrelated.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Unrelated?

"Jake Marshall"

- They're as different as night and day. Kinda like "cereal" an' "serial." One's got to do with breakfast while the other's a type of murder.

"Judge"

- He's right... although seemingly alike, they're totally different.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I don't see what homonyms have to do with this...)

"Judge"

- I'd... like to... resume...?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (What's up? The judge keeps looking over at the prosecution...)

"Judge"

- Is something wrong, Mr. Edgeworth? Your face is blue, your lips are purple, you're sweating bullets... That furrowed brow, those grinding teeth, those watery eyes... What's more your eyes are unfocused, you're doubled over, your back is bent...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- It... can't... be!! This... can't... happen!

"Judge"

- The court accepts this new evidence. But, I'd like to ask the defense a favor first.

"Phoenix Wright"

- "Somewhere?"

"Judge"

- Just to be sure... I'd like to take a look at the blade of this knife.

"Phoenix Wright"

- The b-blade, Your Honor? Well, I don't see why not...

"Judge"

- Could you open it up for me, I wonder?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yes, well. I think all you have to do is push that switch, and...

"Judge"

- If I cut my finger Mr. Wright, I wouldn't be able to pound my gavel anymore.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Yeah. But if I cut my finger, I wouldn't be able to point it at people anymore...)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- About that jar... I think I've seen it before somewhere.

"Phoenix Wright"

- "Somewhere?"

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Or maybe it's one of those memories people have from "previous lives."

"Phoenix Wright"

- (This must be the most uninformative detective I've ever met...)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Will the witness please state his name and occupation.

"Mike Meekins"

- Yes sir! I am Officer Mike Meekins, sir! My occupation is, um... that would be murderer, sir.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...

"Judge"

- Er... so you're telling us you're a "professional killer..."

"Mike Meekins"

- Sir. It was me, sir! I'm the one who did it! I'll never kill anyone again, sir! You've got to believe me, sir!

"Judge"

- Uh... actually, what I'd like to hear from you is...

"Mike Meekins"

- Sir! I'm part of what you would call the younger generation, sir! A person whose actions adults can't possibly comprehend!

"Judge"

- Please, Mr. Edgeworth, sir! Help me, sir!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Witness, please state your name and occupation.

"Jake Marshall"

- Me, pardner? Oh, I'm just a man, same as you, wanderin' the trails of civilization,

"Miles Edgeworth"

- occasionally helping the elderly cross intersections when needed.

"Judge"

- Oh, I know! You're a "patrolman"!

"Damon Gant"

- So long as Mr. Wright is tossing out things regardless of their relevance... mind if I toss something too, Udgey? This shoe should do nicely. I'll chuck it right at you!

"Judge"

- You always were quite the joker, weren't you?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Oops... Looks like I got it wrong.)

"Judge"

- Don't "oops" me! Or I'll be the one throwing my shoe next!

"Dick Gumshoe"

- When a detective screws up, the Chief calls him to his office... and makes him listen to the organ for hours.

"Ema Skye"

- What's so bad about that? Music soothes the soul!

"Dick Gumshoe"

- After that, the detective can't hear anything for days except for the ringing in his ears.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (So it's an instrument of punishment... literally.)

"Ema Skye"

- But aren't the Chief's ears affected?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- ... He never listens to anyone anyway.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (That's besides the point...)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- All I have is some flour... ...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Are you okay, Detective?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Quick! RUN!!! AHH-CHOOOO!!!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...

"Dick Gumshoe"

- ... If it's any help, one time I took a nap on a bench with wet paint.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Why am I not comforted?)

"Phoenix Wright"

- I absolutely and positively have no idea whatsoever!

"Ema Skye"

- ...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...

"Judge"

- Well, it's always good to be sure of oneself!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Apparently it helps when trying to overlook one's failures...

"Phoenix Wright"

- There! How's that for evidence!?

"Judge"

- ...

"Jake Marshall"

- ...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Please allow me to apologize for my colleague, Your Honor. He gets carried away sometimes.

"Judge"

- Yes, well, this certainly isn't a first.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Will you forgive him too, Officer Marshall? He's not a bad man, just a bit... disillusioned.

"Jake Marshall"

- Of course. I'm not one to gun down unarmed boys.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Oh great, now Edgeworth is defending me. Guess that means I missed the mark.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Um, I think it's... uh, this part here?

"Judge"

- Hmm... I don't see what's so strange about that.

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's because the drawing stinks!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...

"Judge"

- ...

"Ema Skye"

- ... Mr. Wright... How could you... *sniff*

"Miles Edgeworth"

- The act of making an innocent girl cry should warrant the death penalty.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I guess he means I shouldn't shift the blame to others...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- What do you think!? I came up with this message!

"Judge"

- Hmm... Yes... I feel like I'm teaching handwriting to a student who is all thumbs...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- I think you should make him write out "I won't do it again" 100 times.

"Phoenix Wright"

- This trial isn't over... until we give each piece of evidence proper consideration!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- So, Wright... Are you saying there's a problem with this latest piece of evidence?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yeah! (I'll think later!)

"Ema Skye"

- Just distract him. I'll check it out.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Uh... Hey, Edgeworth. Is that Detective Gumshoe out the window there? Oh no! He's falling to the ground!!!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hold on. First let me see what this girl's doing crawling around my feet.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (He didn't even look.)

The Lost Turnabout quotes
"Dick Gumshoe"

- Maggey... I mean, Officer Byrde, had gotten Officer Prince a present.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... You seem to know a lot about the defendant.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Well, that's because, uh, I'm her boss. And I've gotta watch out for my subordinates!

"Phoenix Wright"

- But even what she was going to give as a present? Isn't that going a bit too far...?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Hey, pal! Watch what you say! I know everything that happens under me! If someone so much as scratches their...

"Phoenix Wright"

- I REALLY don't need to know that much...

"Winston Payne"

- Mr. Wright! Please refrain from badgering the witness!

"Judge"

- I agree. Even if the witness has a crush on the defendant, that should not be the point of discussion at this time.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Whoa! Wait a second! Why are we talking about this!? It's all YOUR fault, pal! You're guilty, guilty, guilty! I should have you arrested!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I think the good Detective is about done here...)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Next, we checked the victim's pointer finger.

"Phoenix Wright"

- His pointer finger?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- You know, the one you're always POINTING and waving around in people's faces.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Aha, ha, ha. Don't tell me it bothers you...

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Every time you do it, I have a mini-heart attack. It's like you're trying to kill me, pal.

"Maggey Byrde"

- Oh! I know what to do! I heard you can fix something like this with a really strong shock to your system! Come on, lower your head a little! A Maggey Kick should be all you need!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ah, no, no, no. I think I'll pass on this one.

"Maggey Byrde"

- Come on!... Ah, I'm sorry. Whenever I see someone in trouble, I have a hard time leaving them alone... I tend to stick my nose where it doesn't belong and try to tackle everyone's problems.

"Phoenix Wright"

- The name on that card tells people who I am! It even told ME that I'm "Phoenix Wright"!

"Winston Payne"

- ...

"Richard Wellington"

- ...

"Maya Fey"

- ...

"Judge"

- ...Did you not know that?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Nope!

Reunion, and Turnabout quotes
"Pearl Fey"

- I knew her for a little while. Mystic Mia was your teacher, right? I'm sure she was a great Master of Lawyers.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ("Master of Lawyers" ...I guess? I mean, it's not exactly a martial art...)

"Pearl Fey"

- You should keep training, Mr. Nick.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Y-Yeah, you're probably right.

"Maya Fey"

- Huh!? Then... Then... You came all by yourself?

"Pearl Fey"

- Yup! I snuck out of the manor and followed a map.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Don't tell me you walked all the way here...

"Pearl Fey"

- Of course not! ...I ran!

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's... I can't... Oh my... (If it takes two hours by train... Oh man...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Have you heard about the murder?

"Ini Miney"

- It's like, totally scary.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (...she says with a silly smile plastered on her face...)

"Ini Miney"

- Wow! It's a Magatama! Aww, you shouldn't have!

"Phoenix Wright"

- It's so totally not for you!

"Ini Miney"

- Hey! Like, it's not nice to freak me out like that!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (That should be my line...)

"Ini Miney"

- Oh, hey! Like, you're that guy from yesterday... The, uh, dentist guy...

"Phoenix Wright"

- No, no, I'm a lawyer.

"Ini Miney"

- That's right! Um... Mr. Smith, Esquire.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...That's "Wright". Wait, I mean, you're wrong. My name is "Wright".

"Ini Miney"

- "Smith", "Wright"... Well, I got, like, three letters, at least.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I don't think she gets the point...)

"Lotta Hart"

- I'm a real natural, aren't I? I caught the murder just right, and even managed to make it mysterious.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Mysterious!? All you managed to do was forget to focus your lens!

"Lotta Hart"

- Shaddup! That's my technique! My technique, now, ya hear!?

"Franziska von Karma"

- Mr. Phoenix Wright. Would it kill you to stay on topic for a change?

"Judge"

- Well? Would it, Mr. Wright?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Nice, tag-teamed in stereo. Guess I should be grateful it's not in 5.1...)

"Phoenix Wright"

-  Would you please take a look at this person...?

""Hotti""

- Oooh... This is, this is... ...A superb example of a woman...  I'd like to...hmm, meet her...just one time. Bring her to me tomorrow. Hmm... She'll get special attention from me, I promise.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Wh-Where does he think he is!? This is a medical facility!!)

"Lotta Hart"

- Mr. Lawyer there broke the door down, and we rushed into the room.

"Phoenix Wright"

- So, let me get this straight! This "Mr. Lawyer there" broke the door down!?

"Franziska von Karma"

- Honestly, Mr. Phoenix Wright. Why don't you tell us what happened, then?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Um... Yes, Ms. von Karma... I broke the door down. Sorry. (Why does this feel like an inquisition?)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Please take a good look at this!

"Judge"

- ...Okay...

"Franziska von Karma"

- I've already seen it.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Thank you.

"Lotta Hart"

- Yeowza!

"Franziska von Karma"

- Name and occupation.

"Lotta Hart"

- I-I declare! What in tarnation!? Hey, Judge! This here is violence against my fair self!

"Judge"

- That's fine.

"Lotta Hart"

- "That's fine!?" That ain't fine!! That's a whip! Eaaah!

"Franziska von Karma"

- There's no need for foolish outcries from foolishly foolish fools.

"Franziska von Karma"

- Me? In contempt of court!? You can't be serious.

"Phoenix Wright"

- But... But you hid evidence from the court... On purpose! That's... That's... That's not fair!

"Mia Fey"

- P-Phoenix!! Are you a lawyer or a school child?

"Lotta Hart"

- Reckon course!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Eh? ...Excuse me?

"Lotta Hart"

- Reckon course! It's short for "Ya reckon!? Of course I did!"

"Phoenix Wright"

- Who were the two people you were referring to?

"Morgan Fey"

- I was referring to that foreign lady and yourself, good sir.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Um, Lotta's not a foreigner... despite how she talks...

"Morgan Fey"

- Oh, is that so? I'm sorry... I simply could not understand her atrocious English, not to mention she looked awful!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I can already see people in the heartland gearing up for a riot...)

Turnabout Big Top quotes
"Maya Fey"

- Ah, a ladder.

"Phoenix Wright"

- It's just a stepladder.

"Maya Fey"

- What's the difference? They do the same thing, right? I think you should stick with the basic facts of the matter.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Oh... Uh... OK. (It's not even worth arguing with her on this one.)

"Maya Fey"

- Nick... Do you think we can buy some snow cones?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Look around... There's tons of snow piled up all around here!

"Maya Fey"

- YAY!! Wait a second... There's no syrup though! I want syrup!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Hopefully she doesn't notice that discolored snow in the corner. That's not syrup!)

"Phoenix Wright"

- It looks like every year the Ringmaster made donations to charity... To the Robot Clown Research Center...

"Maya Fey"

- ... You're kidding right?

"Phoenix Wright"

- What!? They may be a perfectly reputable charity in the field of advanced tomfoolery!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Uhh... I kinda forget.

"Maya Fey"

- N-N-Nick!! Don't tell me you're losing your memory already!

"Phoenix Wright"

- No no no no no... Let's not get carried away...

"Maya Fey"

- Hey, stick out your head a little! I've got just the thing... A MAYA KICK!!

"Judge"

- Enough of that! No horseplay in this courtroom! And no kicking the defense attorney!!

"Maya Fey"

- Whoa! Those lights are huge! If they fell from the ceiling, you'd be going to the circus in the sky... Life is so fragile, isn't it Nick?

"Phoenix Wright"

- It can be snuffed out in an instant by falling gargantuan lights.

"Maya Fey"

- It's so fragile that I've decided to eat as much good food as I can before I die. Like hamburgers...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Apparently you didn't notice the big sign that said "closed" by the snack stand.

"Maya Fey"

- Awww... It's closed!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Something's covered up by this tarp... An old sign, perhaps.

"Maya Fey"

- Nick! Look out! They've got the killer trapped behind that tarp.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...

"Maya Fey"

- What? It wasn't funny? You know it wouldn't have hurt you to look even a little surprised.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Whew! She didn't notice that I was too scared to talk!)

"Regina Berry"

- We're planning for me to start coming out of the lion during the show.

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's great Regina!

"Regina Berry"

- Yeah. I will ride on Regent's back and jump out of the lion's mouth.

"Maya Fey"

- I wanna try it too! I'll ride on Nick's back and jump out of the lion's mouth!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Sometimes I wonder about this girl...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- There doesn't seem to be anything here that can help us... Not a single clue.

"Maya Fey"

- You know I've been meaning to ask you... What exactly do you mean when you say "clue"? What are you looking for?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... A bloody chainsaw for instance...

"Maya Fey"

- Well there's definitely not one of those here...

"Maya Fey"

- There's a lot of posters here don't you think?

"Phoenix Wright"

- There are indeed.

"Maya Fey"

- So many posters that they aren't likely to miss one, are they?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Maya... We're supposed to be the honest ones here.

"Maya Fey"

- But... But... You didn't even notice that I took one!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Arrghhh... She already swiped one!)

"Maya Fey"

- Heh! Heh!

"Phoenix Wright"

- You're incorrigible, you know that?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- C'non. You've flashed that badge at me so many times it doesn't work anymore! Why don't you try wearing a different badge every now and again?

"Maya Fey"

- Well... I do have a Steel Samurai Badge with me. How about that one?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I'll only wear it if Detective Gumshoe carries a Steel Samurai Police Badge.

"Maya Fey"

- Then it's a deal! I hear that Detective Gumshoe has that very badge! ...

"Dick Gumshoe"

- What!? Don't look at me like that!! You're making me nervous!

"Maya Fey"

- Something smells fantastic! So we know it can't be Moe... Wait! I know what it is!! It's burgers!!

"Moe"

- Hello hello hello! Welcome to the Bistro du Cirque aka the cafeteria!

"Maya Fey"

- Mmm... It smells so good in here... Those burgers look great!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (She's drooling like she' [sic] some sort of crazed burger monster!)

"Moe"

- Oh yeah... He didn't just show me the picture!

"Maya Fey"

- What do you mean?

"Moe"

- He showed me his bust too. Let me tell you, that thing is enormous! It's in the picture I think. He'd make us worship it... Everyday. He made us bow to his greatness.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (He's got a... Big... Bust? I wouldn't mind hearing more about Max's bust... Not that I'm into that sorta thing...)

"Maya Fey"

- Hey... The [basketball] net's ripped. Money must be prone to breaking things. He's hardcore.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Umm... The net looks fine to me. You really think that he plays basketball?

"Maya Fey"

- I think so... Monkeys live life above the rim you know.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... You're joking right? You think the monkey has got proverbial "game"?

"Maya Fey"

- Of course. That monkey doesn't fake the funk on a nasty dunk.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Well, a prehensile tail might be an unfair advantage.)

"Judge"

- You were going to propose... You... A puppet...

"Trilo Quist"

- Don't be so obtuse! Just because I'm a puppet doesn't mean I can't love!

"Judge"

- I guess you're right... Just because I'm old doesn't mean I couldn't propose to her too!

"Trilo Quist"

- Exactly!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (His Honor is looking a little less than honorable right now...)

"Judge"

- OK Mr. Wright... Please continue with your examination... *sigh*

"Maya Fey"

- Aww... Did you hear that? His sigh seemed a little wistful.

"Franziska von Karma"

- Isn't that right, Moe?

"Moe"

- ...  Do you like Pi? I love Pi! 3.141592653589793238462643383279! Tasty!

"Franziska von Karma"

- Silence fool! You are to respond with the whole truth! No fractions!

"Max Galactica"

- Why don't you try flying into the courtroom?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...

"Max Galactica"

- I can see it now... The dashing young lawyer flying fabulously in from above! One glimpse of that, and everyone in the room will be on your side!

"Maya Fey"

- Max... Really... No one needs to fly today. ...Nick? What's with that look in your eyes?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I like the sound of that... "Dashing young lawyer flying fabulously...")

"Judge"

- GWWWWAAAAHHHH!! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME!? THAT'S A PENALTY!!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Arrrgghhh!

"Judge"

- WHAT'S THAT!? YOU WANT A DOUBLE!? HERE YA GO!!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Double arrrggghhh!!

"Judge"

- WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ALL OF THIS!? You are old enough to know better than to behave like this in court!

"Moe"

- Hey! That's just not right!! That's so harsh!

"Judge"

- What's not right here is your eyesight and your memory, amongst other things!!

"Moe"

- ............... Wh... Why are you being so mean to me!! What did I do!? Lemme guess... You just didn't like my jokes or something, right? You didn't have to go and insult my eyesight or my memory!? They're both great! Seriously!! Why!? Just because you are sitting above me doesn't mean you belong there! And no matter how old I get, I'll always be younger you!! WAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! *sobs*

"Phoenix Wright"

- What about this!?

"Moe"

- Look tasty!!

"Phoenix Wright"

- W-What!?

"Moe"

- You know!! The burgers!!

"Maya Fey"

- ...

"Phoenix Wright"

- What's the matter? You've been acting strange for a while now.

"Maya Fey"

- Max... He's just some country bumpkin...

"Phoenix Wright"

- So? Why does that matter? He's still a famous magician right?

"Maya Fey"

- I guess. But his real name is... Billy Bob Johns.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Yikes! The poor guy's got three first names! I guess that is pretty odd.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Difficult-looking legal books stand in a formidable row. They mock me.

"Maya Fey"

- Hey! I'm reading that one! You know I'm studying the law now, right!? I put that bookmark on the page I was reading... Don't you dare move it!

"Phoenix Wright"

- What!? You're reading!? THESE!? A bookmark, huh... Hmm... You mean this thing? It was only on the second page.

"Maya Fey"

- Well, you have to start somewhere right?

"Phoenix Wright"

- You do realize that you have 1000 pages to go right?

"Maya Fey"

- ... Maybe you really should sell all these books, Nick.

"Phoenix Wright"

- She is so mean. And that whip... That thing hurts. It really hurts.

"Maya Fey"

- It is kinda cool though. I wouldn't mind having a whip myself. I bet that cracking the whip on you once or twice would be just what the doctor ordered!

"Phoenix Wright"

- W-Why me!? W-What did I do!?

"Maya Fey"

- Whoa. Max used a broken bottle to crack Ben over the head?

"Phoenix Wright"

- No no no... It broke because Max cracked Ben over the head with it.

"Maya Fey"

- He must have really hit him hard then... I guess I should give it a try... For research purposes. Come here... I've got a nice bottle right here for you Nick...

"Phoenix Wright"

- YEOW!!

"Maya Fey"

- That's weird. It didn't break.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Of course it didn't!! You hit me with a plastic bottle!!

"Max Galactica"

- Why don't you try flying into the courtroom?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...

"Max Galactica"

- I can see it now... The dashing young lawyer flying fabulously in from above! On glimpse of that, and everyone in the room will be on your side!

"Maya Fey"

- Max... Really... No one needs to fly today. ... Nick? What's with that look in your eyes?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I like the sound of that... "Dashing young lawyer flying fabulously...")

"Phoenix Wright"

- I'm smart enough to know when I don't have the cards to play and my hand sucks right now.

"Judge"

- ... Uhh... What do you mean, Mr. Wright?

"Franziska von Karma"

- He means that everything he's said up until now has all been nonsense.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Uh.

"Franziska von Karma"

- Looks like you just won the award for Biggest Failure in Court.

"Maya Fey"

- Ouch... Biggest Failure in Court... That stings!

"Judge"

- In recognition of your honor, let me bestow you with my special prize!

"Maya Fey"

- The defense needs time to prepare to present it's lace... I mean case. Sorry, I'm a bit nervous and I just bit my tongue.

"Judge"

- Huh?

"Franziska von Karma"

- What?

"Phoenix Wright"

- We need time to do WHAT!?!? OWWW!!

"Franziska von Karma"

- Why are you the most surprised person here!? She's YOUR aide, isn't she!?

Farewell, My Turnabout quotes
"Dick Gumshoe"

- Hey, little missy. Listen good, OK?

"Pearl Fey"

- OK. What is it?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Don't ever pick up a whip, OK? Don't even think about it.

"Pearl Fey"

- Huh!?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- If you ever find yourself thinking you want one, try to make due with a good slap to the face. Got that? Slap the person in the face. Promise me, OK?

"Will Powers"

- So, you're going to study to become a lawyer too. Am I right or am I right?.

"Maya Fey"

- Umm...

"Will Powers"

- It must be real tough. There's all those thick books with hard words you have to read...

"Maya Fey"

- Uh, um... Well...

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Oh, yeah. Mr. Powers doesn't know that Maya's a spirit medium...)

"Maya Fey"

- I thought he'd be able to tell by my clothes.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Maybe he thinks that you've got some strange hobby on the side or something.

"Maya Fey"

- ...Hey, wait a sec. What's that's [sic] supposed to mean!?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Take a good look at the crime photo. Now, a real pro's attention would be drawn here, to this bandana.

"Judge"

- Mmmm... "Banana".

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Um, his "bandana", sir... that thing wrapped tightly around his neck, sir.

"Judge"

- Ah, yes, yes. I see. His banana-scented bandana.

"Franziska von Karma"

- If it weren't for traitors like you...

"???"

- "I would've won." Is that what you want to say?

"Franziska von Karma"

- ...! Wh-Who!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- That voice.. E-Edgeworth!!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- It's been a long time... Wright.

"Phoenix Wright"

- I thought you, the Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, had gone and died!

"Pearl Fey"

- Mr. Nick!

"Phoenix Wright"

- I... I never wanted to see you again!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- I think that's enough of a "warm welcome" for someone you haven't seen in a year...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Are you going to run tomorrow's trial...?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...You heard her, right? That wild mare hasn't given in yet, it seems. So, no, I don't think I'll be making an appearance.

"Phoenix Wright"

- The strange thing is somewhere around here! ...I think.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- "Somewhere"...?

"Judge"

- "Around here"...?

"Mia Fey"

- "I think"...?

"Phoenix Wright"

- A-Am I seeing something you all are not...?

"Judge"

- Hmm, it looks like there was no problem with this photo after all.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- The problem was with the brain of that lawyer, Your Honor.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Well, "refreshing like a spring breeze" is his motto...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- "R-Refreshing"!? And what is so refreshing about a spring breeze!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Sounds like the pollen is not treating him well this year...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- A-A THIRTY-EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR TOOTHBRUSH!?

"Matt Engarde"

- ...It's ivory... And it's got elephant hair for bristles...

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Eww... Elephant hair? Is that what rich people use nowadays...?)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Your hatred for me is quite unhealthy. Not to mention one-sided. But I will say one thing...

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- You can't win on your own at the trial tomorrow.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (What is that supposed to mean...?)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Wright. Which of these four doesn't belong here? Up, down, left, Wright.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Um, "Wright"?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Thank you, I feel much better. I'm relieved to know you can at least pick that much out. I worry about you. You seem to fail every time you try to make logical sense!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- I have something definitive that you lack. And that's the definition of teamwork. It's the power to find the truth.

"Phoenix Wright"

- "The truth"...?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- In order to understand this case, you have to understand a certain "truth". ...Well, if you ever feel the need for my assistance, it is available to you. I'm not in charge of this case, so I can be a bit more generous with information.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Just what is going on inside his head...?)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Now then, witness, please state your name and occupation...

"Wendy Oldbag"

- ...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...  Witness! Your name and occupation, please!

"Ray Gun"

- *rata-tat-tat-tat-tat...*

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Uurrngh!

"Wendy Oldbag"

- ...Heh. G.O.T.C.H.A!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Grrrrrrrrr...

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I wonder what happened to that calm composure he had earlier...)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Oh, Edgey-boy! It's been what, a year since we last met, hasn't it? You should be more happy to see me!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- I saw the report with her testimony, but who knew that under that helmet... it was the wicked witch of the witness stand!?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- I tell you, this time I know what I'm supposed to do! So today, I'm going to tell you anything and everything! Even things that don't have to do with that terrible crime.

"Judge"

- Ms... Witness... "That terrible crime" is all this court needs to know.

"Ray Gun"

- *rata-tat-tat-tat-tat...*

"Judge"

- Oof!

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Shush! I'm talking to my dear Edgey-Wedgey right now! Don't interrupt us, gramps!

"Judge"

- Yes, madam.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- No no no, please, by all means interrupt her! Please!

"Judge"

- Ooh... This is most interesting...

"Phoenix Wright"

- (A boy and his new toy... It's like he's 5 all over again...)

"Judge"

- ......... ......... ......... ...Oh, don't mind me. Go ahead and carry on.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I think he's lost it...)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- If you keep on barking at me like that, I'll start singing at the top of my lungs!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Uh, what?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- "A striking figure by the sea, standing all alone is he. He's the Nickel Samurai!"

"Phoenix Wright"

- (...She's actually singing... Someone help my poor ears.)

"Judge"

- Mr. Edgeworth. Can you please do something about this racket!?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Witness. I'll give you a piece of gum later if you'll be good and stick to just the facts.

"Wendy Oldbag"

- OKAAAAAAAY! ... You promise, right!?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Wright. I'll be sending the bill for the chewing gum to your office at a later date.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Remind me to send you a thank you note later too, Edgeworth, old chum...)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- "Not too long ago"...? Then let me ask you this! When you were itty-bitty, what was your grand dream?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...Huh?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- What did you want to be when you grew up, whippersnapper!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- My dream, huh...? Well, I... uh, wanted to be Judge Wackner, hero of the Public's Court. So what!?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- See! And look at where you are now! You're not Judge Wackner, are you!? Are you!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Well...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Do you know what this is?

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Aaaah! It's button number 2 on the Jammin' Ninja's costume!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Now I KNOW she's an obsessed fan... She identified it in a single glance!)

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Give it here! Give it here! If you don't give it to me, I'll punish you with this! *rata-tat-tat-tat-tat...*

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Wow... She really is a die-hard fan to want a button covered in blood...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- This must be the chief of the detectives here. He's glued to his computer screen.

"Chief"

- WHAT!? Prosecutor von Karma was shot in front of the courthouse!? Wh-Who did it!? Who shot her!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I have a sneaking suspicion that even Gumshoe could do this guy's job...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Um... Witness. About requesting a hit...

"Shelly de Killer"

- Yes?

"Phoenix Wright"

- How much is your fee...?

"Shelly de Killer"

- I see you are also quite a dark-hearted man, Mr. Attorney...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh?

"Shelly de Killer"

- If you would like to talk business, we can do so after the trial...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ack! NONONO! I'm not thinking of hiring--

"Judge"

- M-M-Mr. Wright!!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Y-Yes!?

"Judge"

- Y-Y-You... You want to kill me... You want me dead... DON'T YOU!?!?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Whaaaat!? Why would you think something like that, Your Hon--

"Judge"

- Guilty! MR. PHOENIX WRIGHT! You are hereby declared GUILTY!!

"Phoenix Wright"

- So! What do you think!?

"Shelly de Killer"

- ... You may say, "What do you think?"... However, I am for all intents and purposes, a transceiver radio.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Oh... That's right, you can't actually see the evidence...

"Shelly de Killer"

- Well, I don't think this was one I needed to see. I can hear the pure silence in the air there.

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Then... Then...! Then everything written on this piece of paper is completely meaningless!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ah! That's it! That's the note!

"Wendy Oldbag"

- Ah! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Noooo! You see, this is something completely different! This is my top secret list of groceries to buyyyyyyy!!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Then I guess you could say it could not have been taken out of his room, yes?

"Adrian Andrews"

- Excuse me? "It"...? What are you...?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Wright. I thought years of school would have taught you how to construct a sentence. If you can't make a sensible sentence with a subject, then I'll make one for you. Watch. Did you, Ms. Andrews, remove Mr. Engarde's knife from his room?

"Adrian Andrews"

- ...No.

"Judge"

- Hmm...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Subject, verb, object Wright. Did you skip basic grammar? The witness may continue.

Turnabout Memories quotes
"Dahlia Hawthrone"

- For me to get to the Art Department, I have to walk through that back area.

"Judge"

- Ah, yes I see. That makes sense. When I want to enter the courthouse, I always walk through the front doors.

"Mia Fey"

- (How else would you enter? Teleportation!?)

"Marvin Grossberg"

- Find the evidence you need and then shove it into Ol' Graybeard's face!

"Mia Fey"

- Y-Yes, sir! Into Ol' Graybeard's face!

"Judge"

- Err, Mr. Grossberg. Try to set a better example for the young lady!

"Phoenix Wright"

- P-P-P-Please forgive me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

"Marvin Grossberg"

- Mia! You've made our client cry!

"Mia Fey"

- Let him! That "P" on his chest doesn't stand for Phoenix anyways!

"Winston Payne"

- If anyone says anything rude, you can be sure, I'll cut them right down to size!

"Judge"

- And I will bash them with my gavel!

"Mia Fey"

- (I love how they look straight at me when they say that...)

The Stolen Turnabout quotes
"Pearl Fey"

- Oh, hello...It's been a long time, hasn't it, Mr. Scruffy Detective?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Oh! It's you, little missy!...Um, ahh...Actually, my name is Gumshoe. "Detective Dick Gumshoe". Now is a good chance for you to try and remember it right!

"Maya Fey"

- And if it's too long for you, you can just call him "Dick".

"Pearl Fey"

- Okay! It's good to see you again, Mr. Detective Dick!

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Um... Yeah... Good to see you again, too, I guess.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- I don't know how to put this, but the guy was kind of a moneygrubber.

"Maya Fey"

- Really? Me too! I just love money! I can't ever get enough!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Please stop leaning in towards me like that... You aren't getting to my wallet.)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Anyway, it looks like he did some pretty shifty stuff to earn his millions.

"Maya Fey"

- Oh! So that's my problem! I think I need to be shifter!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Lemme go already...)

"Maya Fey"

- You're not very photogenic, are you?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...!

"Pearl Fey"

- I guess that's the end of that conversation!

"Larry Butz"

- Even you could learn a few tricks from me, Nick!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...Yeah? Like what?

"Larry Butz"

- Look at my hair for example. It points up straight, right? But your hair, on the other hand, points backwards. That's no good at all, man! It's defeatist! You gotta aim high... for the stars!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I... I can't find a counter-argument to that..)

"Phoenix Wright"

- It looks like a part of a big signboard. All I can read on it is the "bur".

"Maya Fey"

- Aha! I've got it! Maybe it's supposed to say, "Hamburger"!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Why would anyone write "Hamburger" that big?

"Maya Fey"

- Like, maybe for the "World Hamburger Festival" or something?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I kinda doubt it.

"Maya Fey"

- Aha! I've got it! Maybe it said, "Spaghetti"!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...Why are you talking about food? Oh, wait. That's normal for you. Anyway, it says, "bur". There's no way it could be "Spaghetti".

"Maya Fey"

- Well, maybe it was a typo! It might have said, "Spaghetti Festival". What do you think?

"Phoenix Wright"

- OK to me... Besides, Spaghetti is the only thing more tangled than your reasoning.

"Maya Fey"

- Aha. I just thought of something! Maybe Detective Atmey smashed Mask☆DeMasque with it. Like this!

"Phoenix Wright"

- YEOOOOOUCCCH!! WHAT THE HECK!

"Maya Fey"

- What do you think, Pearly?

"Pearl Fey"

- I think it's even more bent than it was before.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Oh man... My head... MY HAIR!)

"Maya Fey"

- When did you first get that porcupine cut?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...Um, it's been like this ever since I was a little kid.

"Maya Fey"

- What!? You mean that's the way your hair is naturally? I thought you had some sort of special "Phoenix Cut" deal with the barber.

"Godot"

- I am Godot. Legendary prosecutor. I've never lost a case.

"Maya Fey"

- Ah! He's the one that Detective Atmey was talking about...

"Judge"

- Yes, your reputation precedes you. What kind of cases have you dealt with so far?

"Godot"

- Ha...! None.

"Judge"

- What did you say...?

"Godot"

- I've never prosecuted a case before.

"Judge"

- N-Never? But you said you've never lost before.

"Godot"

- ...Exactly. I've never lost. I've never won before either.

"Judge"

- Quite arrogant for a beginner, aren't you?

"Godot"

- ...You did it. Didn't you?

"Ron DeLite"

- Yes.

"Phoenix Wright"

- What?

"Ron DeLite"

- Uh... No no no no no no no! Th-Th-Th-That's not true!

"Judge"

- ...Hmm. For a moment there I thought we'd set the record for the shortest trial ever.

"Luke Atmey"

- Kane Bullard decided to investigate Mask☆DeMasque and simply mistook who he was!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Mistook...?

"Luke Atmey"

- That's right. "Mistook". From the Old Norse "mistaka", meaning, "to take in error".

"Luke Atmey"

- That's when my nemesis, the infamous Mask☆DeMasque, dancingly descended upon me!

"Phoenix Wright"

- "Dancingly descended"...? From where exactly?

"Luke Atmey"

- Well... From the entrance, I suppose. Where else?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (So in actuality, he neither "danced" nor "descended"! ...Someone please save me.) Um... So how is it that you didn't notice the thief?

"Luke Atmey"

- My eyes were looking for the thief's shadow while my ears listened for his footfalls. But even so, the dastardly criminal managed to sneak up on me... It can only be due to his subtly camouflaged cape and soft-soled shoes.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (... I hereby dub you "Ace Dunce".)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Luke Atmey... was an Ace Detective!

"Luke Atmey"

- Thank you for the kind introduction. I am Luke Atmey, Ace Detective. One embodies the nefarious forces of darkness. The other the angelic cherubs of light!

"Judge"

- ...I am completely lost. Someone get me a translator. *ahem* But anyway, everyone already knows you're an Ace Detective!

"Maya Fey"

"Phoenix Wright"

"Lisa Basil"

- I'm sorry. That data is SuPer Admin Restricted Desktop Access password-protected.

"Maya Fey"

- SuPer Admin Restricted Desktop Access password-protected!? What!? This is madness!

"Phoenix Wright"

- No, Maya. That is SPARDA. She won't tell us unless we say the right code word.

"Mia Fey"

- Whatever did Mr. Armstrong do!?

"Victor Kudo"

- Oh, no! Those eyes! I can't take this!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Mia's really got this guy eating out of her hand...)

"Godot"

- If you have the time to waste, you have the time to present that piece of evidence.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Th...THAT piece... sir?

"Godot"

- Yes. THAT piece.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- ... Um... Aheh heh heh! Wh-what piece was it again?

Turnabout Beginnings quotes
"Terry Fawles"

- I never... I never lie! I din't escape from nowhere!

"Mia Fey"

- Err... But, Mr. Fawles... The police just recaptured you two days ago.

"Terry Fawles"

- ... Ugh. Sorry. I told a little lie.

"Mia Fey"

- (Oh boy...)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- You... Y-You're really gorgeous...

"Mia Fey"

- Excuse me?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- No, seriously... My heart... It's aching for you...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Detective. Pull yourself together and try to be professional. Otherwise... I'll write you up on contempt so quick that something other than your heart will ache!

"Diego Armando"

- Hey, Kitten... Have you ever put salt in your coffee?

"Mia Fey"

- No... Why would I!?

"Diego Armando"

- Why not?

"Mia Fey"

- Huh...?

"Diego Armando"

- It may actually go better with coffee than sugar, right?

"Mia Fey"

- ...

"Diego Armando"

- Listen. My point is if you're not sure, you might as well add a ton of salt to it. It might... bring out the rust in something. Like a piece of evidence.

"Mia Fey"

- (He's right, Mia... Go present something. You've got nothing to lose!)

"Diego Armando"

- By the way, I wouldn't put salt in my coffee. The two don't go well, after all.

Bridge to the Turnabout quotes
"Dick Gumshoe"

- It's simple!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Well, simple is as simple does, as they say.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Oh, you've got no idea how much I've missed that biting sarcasm of yours, sir!

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Y-You mean that maybe whoever killed Ms. Deauxnim also...!?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- D-Don't jump to any crazy conclusions!

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Oooooouuuch! ...You sure have one mean punch, Mr. Edgeworth! It's down-right fierce!

"Dick Gumshoe"

- There's something elegant about the light of a fire. At the end of each month, I always like to relax in my room by candlelight.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Detective... Can you not afford to pay your electricity bill...?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- ...How did you know?

"Bikini"

- This is our Main Hall, so it's protected by a variety of magic spells and charms... They're all designed to prevent evil forces from entering.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- So if I slept here the uggie-woogie-boogieman wouldn't hunt me down for eternity? Alright!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (Does this guy think about anything other than eating and sleeping...?)

"Larry Butz"

- I was at that lodge out in the mountains, looking up at the stars that night.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...

"Judge (younger brother)"

- What ever is the matter, Mr. Edgeworth?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- This one statement is so full of contradictions... For a moment there I thought I was going to collapse.

"Judge (younger brother)"

- Hmm...

"Franziska von Karma"

- So, witness? Any idea where these contradictions in your testimony lie? Depending on your answer... I may let my whip have its way.

"Larry Butz"

- OK, give me a minute... Well, it was snowing that night so I couldn't have possibly seen the stars. That run-down shack is hardly a "lodge", is it...? And even if the stars could be seen, it isn't like I was there to look at them, right?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...

"Franziska von Karma"

- See? You can do it if you try.

"Larry Butz"

- I was so worried! So I frantically searched all over for her!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- So you searched all over for her?

"Larry Butz"

- She was flying pretty high, you know. I thought maybe she slipped on her landing and got hurt. Hey! It was more than possible! Also, when I headed out to the shack the first time, I was snacking on a banana. I was pretty sure I threw the peel away somewhere around there, so, you know...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ... (Can one guy really be this stupid?) So, did you find any signs of her so-called "landing?"

"Larry Butz"

- Hmm... I don't really remember. I kept falling over myself, and kinda lost it for a while there.

"Judge (younger brother)"

- You... fell over yourself?

"Larry Butz"

- Yeah. The snow was deep, and there was even a banana peel out there!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (Yup. There's stupid, and then there's Larry Butz.)

"Larry Butz"

- We used to have a lot of fun decorating the classroom with origami. Remember?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- W-Well, I...

"Larry Butz"

- Oh, yeah... You were never any good at it.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Really?

"Larry Butz"

- Yeah, this guy was so bad, he couldn't even fold a dollar, let alone a crane. Everyone tried to comfort him, but he would just sit there sobbing.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Really? I never would have expected that.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Be quiet already! I'll never forget the shame of that day! You want a crane! I can now make a perfect quarter-inch crane without a single flaw!

"Larry Butz"

- ... You know, Edgey... Nothing for nothing, but a quarter-inch crane without a single flaw is not easy.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Yeah, that's quite a feat, Prosecutor Edgeworth!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (Grr... This is exactly why I hate childhood friends...)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Well, everyone knows that you are quite popular with the ladies, sir... Maybe she's an old girlfriend that you sent to Dumpsville when you were younger.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- D-Detective! Where did you hear such nonsense from!?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- I didn't hear it from anyone. It's just sorta how I imagine you to be... sir.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (...D-Do I really inspire this sort of frothing desire from the female masses?)

"Larry Butz"

- That's why I drew it! I'm an artist! A real artist!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Are...!

"Franziska von Karma"

- You...!

"Judge (younger brother)"

- High! The girl... She's really high up in this picture!

"Judge"

- What...!? What is the meaning of this, Mr. Wright!?

"Godot"

- Ha...! It's simple. People are like books. We've all got a front and a back. You get my drift?

"Judge"

- ... Umm, is that all you have to say?

"Godot"

- I can also say that darkness loves to play with the human mind.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Could you please knock it off with the cheesy proverbs and illogical metaphors already!?

"Judge"

- My poor brother. He looked a bit pale, not to mention sad that he couldn't be here.

"Godot"

- It is impossible to predict what the future has in store for any of us. This is precisely why people feel the need to judge the past. And we of the court have been charged with the solemn duty of passing such judgment.

"Judge"

- ...Well said, Mr. Godot. I understood exactly what you said... at least up until the end, anyway. Now then, Mr. Godot. Please proceed with your opening statement.

"Godot"

- ...Humans are fragile, fickle beings. Our hearts change with the shifting of the tides. There is only one thing that remains a constant in this crazy world... The bitter darkness that lies at the bottom of this mug.

"Godot"

- As they say... "A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal".

"Phoenix Wright"

- I believe the correct description of a cornered fox is "scared and petrified".

"Godot"

- ... Your animal analogies have grown tiresome!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (You were the one who started it!)

"Judge"

- I'm terribly sorry... But what you heard from someone else is simply not admissible as testimony.

"Maya Fey"

- Whaaaat!? Come on! Pearly would never tell a lie! She's a way more honest person than I'll ever be!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Real smart, Maya. You always know the best things to say when you're under oath...)

"Larry Butz"

- So see!? I've got nothing to do with this trial! At all! I expect all of your faces to be red when you realize this mistake! Bright red! Or, to use the technical term, "crimson lake". ...Ou-Ou-Ouch! Ou-Ou-Ou-Ouch! Ouch!

"Judge (younger brother)"

- Ou-Ou-Ou-Ouch! Ouch! Ou-Ouch!

"Franziska von Karma"

- Stop your pathetic blabbing and testify like a man!

"Franziska von Karma"

- Your personal involvement will make crushing you into teensy weensy pieces all the better!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ... (It's probably the fever, but... She's so openly hostile that it's almost kinda cute.) Oww!

"Franziska von Karma"

- No smirking!

"Phoenix Wright"

- No whipping the sick!

"Franziska von Karma"

- ...Enough! A fool's fool fools fools who foolishly accept the foolishness of a fool's fool. Wouldn't you agree... Phoenix Wright?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Eh...? Wait a second... I-I know you... You're... Um... Oww!

"Franziska von Karma"

- Your reflexes and mind need to shape up!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (My brain's frying like a sunny-side up and you want to grill me over a name!?)

"Franziska von Karma"

- Come now, Phoenix Wright! What are you doing? Let's go in. It's half open anyway. What harm could come of it?

"Phoenix Wright"

- But it says, "No Entry".

"Franziska von Karma"

- ... Don't you Americans enjoy doing whatever you like and then simply say, "Whatever!?"

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's got nothing to do with anything! (And who told you that!?)

"Godot"

- That was a dark and bitter guess that you made, Trite. ...But you forgot about one thing.

"Judge"

- Oh? And what would that be?

"Godot"

- ... The aroma.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh?

"Apollo Justice"

- Uh.

"Phoenix Wright"

- I did remember you having an odd name.

"Apollo Justice"

- (Well, we're off to a great start.)

"Judge"

- I was under the impression that you would be heading up this case...?

"Kristoph Gavin"

- That was my intention, yes. However... A defense attorney must always cede to his client's wishes. And my client specifically requested Mr. Justice.

"Judge"

- Well, of course he wants justice! But to entrust his case to this greenhorn... Why? I do not exaggerate when I say that you're the best defense attorney in town, Mr. Gavin.

"Apollo Justice"

- (OK, so Gavin's got trial experience, fine. But does he have Chords of Steel!?)

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's all it is... a game. And our customers are happy.

"Apollo Justice"

- So, you claim you weren't gambling?

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's right. It was simply a game.

"Apollo Justice"

- You didn't bet any money? Not even a little?

"Phoenix Wright"

- The only thing at stake in our game... was pride itself.

"Judge"

- Ho ho! Well put, Mr. Wright. I've got a mind to play a hand of poker myself... The stakes: your fate!

"Apollo Justice"

- (Um... Can we get back to the trial now?)

"Apollo Justice"

- So you say you didn't touch the murder weapon... this grape juice bottle? ...Right?

"Phoenix Wright"

- So I said.

"Apollo Justice"

- ...

"Judge"

- Something the matter, Mr. Justice?

"Winston Payne"

- Hee hee hee... Too bad our new defense attorney never learned how to play dumb!

"Judge"

- What's this, Mr. Payne?

"Winston Payne"

- I examined the bottle in question, you see. And it was covered in the defendant's fingerprints!

"Apollo Justice"

- O-B-J-E-C-T-I-O-N!

"Judge"

- No need to shout, Mr. Justice! I can hear you just fine!

"Apollo Justice"

- Aha ha ha...

"Kristoph Gavin"

- Excess yelling can damage the judge's ears... and our case.

"Apollo Justice"

- (B-But what about my Chords of Steel?)

"Judge"

- Hmm... Incidentally, who won the game?

"Winston Payne"

- Isn't it obvious? The winner was the victim... Mr. Smith!

"Apollo Justice"

- That's ridiculous! Um, because... Because Mr. Wright can't lose!

"Kristoph Gavin"

- Ahem. Justice? Maybe you can come up with a more legitimate objection?

"Winston Payne"

- It's just hard for an honest, hard-working member of society like me to imagine...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yes. Your imagination was always a bit limited, Winston.

"Winston Payne"

- Wh-what!?

"Winston Payne"

- The witness will state her name and profession.

"Judge"

- H-Hold on just a moment! Where's the witness?

"Winston Payne"

- I surmise that she has been frightened by the defense's demonic-looking horns.

"Apollo Justice"

- (So I used a little hair gel! Relax, people!)

"Judge"

- Have no fear! If any horns point in your direction this court will cut them off.

"Olga Orly"

- ... You... are sure?

"Judge"

- I swear it on my gavel! Please, come out.

"Apollo Justice"

- Isn't violence against hair a crime, Your Honor?

"Olga Orly"

- The victim, he plays whole time with his hand on locket at his neck.

"Apollo Justice"

- His "locket"...?

"Olga Orly"

- I believe it was good-luck charm, dah? He gripped it many times as he played that night.

"Judge"

- Yes, he must have felt as though it might carry him to the moon and the stars! Though if it were small enough to fit around his neck, it wouldn't have much lift...

"Apollo Justice"

- Um... The defense would like a clarification: this is a locket we're talking about? I mean, a pendant with a picture in it, right? Not a "rocket"?

"Judge"

- Of course! I knew that! It was probably a pendant shaped like a rocket. That's why she called it that.

"Apollo Justice"

- No, a locket's a locket! It doesn't matter what shape it--

"Kristoph Gavin"

- It's considered bad form to poke fun at the hard-of-hearing in our society.

"Apollo Justice"

- (Hard of hearing, or hard of understanding?)

"Olga Orly"

- Then, last hand is done! But something terrible has happened, dah!

"Apollo Justice"

- Something terrible!?!?

"Olga Orly"

- Eeeeeeeeek!

"Judge"

- The defense will refrain from needless shouting!

"Apollo Justice"

- Er, sorry. (I need to seriously reconsider this vocal training thing...

"Judge"

- Hmm... A full house is a very high-scoring hand. Not easy to make, in my experience.

"Winston Payne"

- That alone is enough to suspect less-than-scrupulous tactics.

"Apollo Justice"

- Um... Mr. Gavin? What's a full house?

"Winston Payne"

- Lawyers these days... You don't know your poker?

"Judge"

- I can't say this bodes well for your case... or career.

"Apollo Justice"

- (What is this, some kind of secret court poker ring!?)

"Apollo Justice"

- The contradicting point is the location of the witness!

"Judge"

- Exactly what does the witness's location contradict?

"Apollo Justice"

- That is unclear, even to me!

"Judge"

- ... Generally, one does not announce one's own ignorance with such... aplomb.

"Apollo Justice"

- (I have to take pride in something...)

Turnabout Corner quotes
"Apollo Justice"

- It's Charley, the houseplant. They've had it for years, apparently.

"Trucy Wright"

- That's "Mr. Charley" to you! He's been here longer, after all.

"Apollo Justice"

- Right, sorry.

"Trucy Wright"

- I'm sorry, Mr. Charley. He was raised by a tribe of heathens.

"Apollo Justice"

- (She's saying something to the plant as she waters it...)

"Trucy Wright"

- Mr. Charley forgives you. This time.

"Apollo Justice"

- ...Is there anything else I might do to please His High Leafiness?

Turnabout Serenade quotes
"Trucy Wright"

- That guitar! That's the legendary AA-400! The "Red Badger".

"Apollo Justice"

- I thought rock was supposed to be rebellious, not...civic.

"Trucy Wright"

- Every aspiring guitarist wants one of these! They even paint their own guitars to look like it.

"Apollo Justice"

- Ah, the fickleness of youth.

"Trucy Wright"

- You should dye your hair "Badger Red", too!

"Apollo Justice"

- I like my hair the way it is, thank you very much.

"Trucy Wright"

- Argh, the stubbornness of age!

"Apollo Justice"

- Look, a ladder. I guess they need one to work on the lights and such.

"Trucy Wright"

- Why don't they use a stepladder? I prefer stepladders, really. ...Is that so wrong?

"Apollo Justice"

- Not wrong, just... well, why do you prefer stepladders?

"Trucy Wright"

- ...... They're so much more flexible than plain old ladders!

"Apollo Justice"

- ...... (I prefer my ladders rigid and stable, thank you.)

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh, another ladder.

"Trucy Wright"

- Actually, it's technically a stepladder.

"Apollo Justice"

- Well hello, Ms. Fancy Pants! Please forgive my lack of ladder discrimination.

"Trucy Wright"

- ! ......

"Ema Skye"

- I'm less worried about the stepladder, and more worried about why it's there.

"Apollo Justice"

- (Why is the ladder there? Well, to climb, right? To reach something on the ceiling?)

"Trucy Wright"

- ...... I still say it's a stepladder.

"Trucy Wright"

- ......

"Apollo Justice"

- (Trucy's still after that brooch, clearly...)

"Ema Skye"

- No way! If you want one that bad, get your daddy to buy it for you!

"Trucy Wright"

- Daddy always says: "Trucy, if you want something go find or borrow it." Oh, and "When in doubt, beg."

"Ema Skye"

- Leave it to Mr. Wright...

"Apollo Justice"

- (I'm a little concerned for Trucy's future...)

"Ema Skye"

- ...What are you trying to do, burn me alive!?

"Apollo Justice"

- C'mon, it was just a few sparks.

"Ema Skye"

- Says you! You weren't the one holding it!

"Trucy Wright"

- There's enough sparks flying around here just with you two talking.

"Trucy Wright"

- I still can't believe we found Machi and Mr. LeTouse up there...

"Apollo Justice"

- Yeah. I used to not like high places. Now I hate them.

"Trucy Wright"

- It's not like it would have been nicer if we found a dead body closer to the ground. ...Though that reminds me. Daddy's bad with heights, too.

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh, no kidding.

"Trucy Wright"

- He took me on a Ferris wheel ride a while ago, you know! Halfway through, his face got all green and he mumbled "objection" over and over.

"Apollo Justice"

- (...Poor guy.)

"Apollo Justice"

- What's a police recruitment poster doing here? "Rock on... with the police."

"Trucy Wright"

- Maybe they're trying to trick kids into thinking the police are some kind of band.

"Apollo Justice"

- But that's just silly. Who'd name a band the "police"?

"Trucy Wright"

- The Gavinners are into chains. It's part of their image.

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh, no kidding.

"Trucy Wright"

- Every [sic] since they used chains on the cover of "Gunna Lock U Up".

"Apollo Justice"

- They're really into the whole police thing, aren't they.

"Trucy Wright"

- It'd be cooler if they turned that red light on.

"Apollo Justice"

- They don't have to turn on the red light.

"Apollo Justice"

- Ema, could you take a look at this?

"Ema Skye"

- MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

"Apollo Justice"

- Um... What do you think?

"Ema Skye"

- MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

"Apollo Justice"

- (That must be a bottomless bag of snacks.)

"Apollo Justice"

- What's this? Some kind of headset earpiece?

"Ema Skye"

- MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

"Apollo Justice"

- Why would someone leave this in the hallway?

"Ema Skye"

- MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

"Apollo Justice"

- Maybe Lamiroir's bodyguard dropped it?

"Ema Skye"

- MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

"Apollo Justice"

- Ema! Will you stop eating those snacks for one second and listen!?

"Ema Skye"

- Hah! If you think you're going to pull me away from my snacks just to hear you mumbling... on and on about whatever, you're going to be sorely disappointed!

"Apollo Justice"

- (...At least I got her to stop munching.)

"Apollo Justice"

- What's that odd looking doll doing there?

"Ema Skye"

- MUNCH MUNCH... oh, MUNCH, that's the Blue MUNCH Badger.

"Apollo Justice"

- Could you try either talking or munching, but not both?

"Apollo Justice"

- (She hit me with a snack.)

"Ema Skye"

- Serves me MUNCH right MUNCH for going MUNCH out MUNCH of MUNCH my MUNCH way MUNCH

"Apollo Justice"

- ...... (Sorry, I don't speak Snackoos.)

"Ema Skye"

- MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

"Apollo Justice"

- Come to think of it, I am a little thirsty.

"Ema Skye"

- I'll have some tea.

"Apollo Justice"

- ...... I think I'll get a water.

"Ema Skye"

- I'll have tea!

"Apollo Justice"

- If you want tea so bad go buy it yourself!

"Apollo Justice"

- (She Snackoo'd me.)

"Ema Skye"

- I'll take a tea.

"Apollo Justice"

- A Gavinners "Guilty As Charged" tour poster.

"Ema Skye"

- They're plastered all over the place. It's annoying.

"Apollo Justice"

- Well, this is the concert venue. It makes sense.

"Ema Skye"

- Why? Everyone here is already here! Why advertise to them?

"Apollo Justice"

- People like to see the poster at the concert... It's part of the experience.

"Ema Skye"

- Do you have to find fault with everything I say?

"Apollo Justice"

- (She Snackoo'd me.)

"Apollo Justice"

- That's a pretty sturdy-looking box there. Maybe it's an instrument case. There's a guitar next to it.

"Ema Skye"

- Don't even think about taking that!

"Apollo Justice"

- I don't think I could even carry it...

"Apollo Justice"

- (She Snackoo'd me.)

"Apollo Justice"

- Um... Ema?

"Ema Skye"

- MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

"Apollo Justice"

- (I've never seen someone eat snacks with such vehemence. Better give her a wide berth...)

"Apollo Justice"

- (She Snackoo'd me.)

"Apollo Justice"

- That's Prosecutor Gavin's... er, the Gavinners's dressing room.

"Ema Skye"

- Put so much as a hand on the door and I'll Snackoo you.

"Apollo Justice"

- Hold on! But I just came out of there!

"Ema Skye"

- Don't play smart with me!

"Apollo Justice"

- (*sigh*)

"Trucy Wright"

- Apollo, look at this hand...

"Apollo Justice"

- Hmm. He's holding something.

"Ema Skye"

- Hey! No touching!

"Apollo Justice"

- You can throw all the snacks at me you'd like, Ema. But sooner or later... you're going to run out of them.

"Ema Skye"

- Hmm. You raise a good point.

"Ema Skye"

- What! You aren't trying to burn me up again, are you? Who sent you to get me? Who?

"Apollo Justice"

- I'm not out to get you, promise.

"Ema Skye"

- Promise!? No promise is good enough with you still carrying that weapon around! Try burning me again with that trigger of yours... and I'll throw 100 bags worth of Snackoos at you!

"Apollo Justice"

- (I've never seen someone munch so furiously. Better stay clear for a while.)

Turnabout Succession quotes
"Phoenix Wright"

- Consider it a birthday present, Trucy.

"Trucy Wright"

- Thanks! It's great! But... today isn't my birthday.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...Hmm. Good point... What day is it today, Apollo?

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh? Today? Um... I think it's "Recycle Your Plastics" day...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Then, it's a Recycle-Your-Plastics present.

"Trucy Wright"

- Yippee! So it's plastic!

"Apollo Justice"

- (I've given up trying to understand them. It's much easier that way.)

"Trucy Wright"

- Yup! After all, I am directly descended from the famous Zak Gramarye!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Directly descended... He's your father.

"Trucy Wright"

- Oh...! And now I'm directly descended from the famous Phoenix Wright, too!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I think an eight-year-old just massaged my ego.)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- A few days before it happened, the victim sent a letter "ordering" his own murder.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...And was sent by the victim?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- There it is! Gotcha! You're all mine this time, pal.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- I had the handwriting checked out, of course. It's the victim's, no mistake!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ah, I see...

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Ha ha ha ha ha! Score one for the boys!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I didn't "lose". I was just ascertaining the facts... So why am I so annoyed?)

"Phoenix Wright"

- That sure is a big sign.

"Valant Gramarye"

- Yes, it's a favorite of mine. Impressive, isn't it? I considered using it for one wall of my house when the show's over.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Wow, your house is that big!?

"Valant Gramarye"

- Actually, as fate would have it, I currently live in a one-room apartment. But following the wild success of my show, I intend to build a luxurious mansion. I was torn over just how big to make it. Until that sign whispered the answer to me.

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's... really beautiful.

- This month's special... Oh looks like it's an English trivia quiz! Oh I've got one! What starts with "i" and means "boldly rude" and "disrespectful"?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (The answer is most definitely "insolent".)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Time's up! Sorry sir, but the correct answer is "insolvent".

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (Detective Gumshoe... Don't tell me your English is the same as "him"?)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Keeping track of this many pieces of cargo must be very taxing on the cargo crew.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- This sure brings back memories of when I worked as a part-time mover, sir!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (By the look in his eyes, he's waiting for me to ask about the rest of the story... But no matter how he pours on the puppy dog eyes, I have no intention of doing so.)

"Zinc Lablanc II"

- Ah, so you are finally paying my wasted money?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Sorry, but there is absolutely nothing inside this wallet.

"Zinc Lablanc II"

- How dare you! You are wanting to trick me! I will sue for fraud!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Mr. Lablanc. Are you seriously considering a courtroom tango with me? I hope not, but in case you are, there is a certain lawyer I could introduce you to.

"Officer"

- This door leads to the cargo hold. But I can't left you through without Ms. von Karma's express permission.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- That's not a bad way to handle this situation if it was any old case, but this isn't.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- So between you and Ms. von Karma, who's better at their job?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Oh, there's no comparison to be made detective. None.

- Ema, I'd like to ask you about what you witnessed...

"Ema Skye"

- Huh? What are you talking about?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Are you not the witness Detective Gumshoe told us about?

"Ema Skye"

- Well I did get a call from Detective Gumshoe earlier. He was practically yelling at me! "Mr. Edgeworth needs your scientific doohickeys right now, pal!" he said.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (What was that man thinking? ...Or rather not thinking?)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- You actually got a copy, Mr. Edgeworth? Ooh! Can you show me the last page?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- The last page? Very well... Let's see here... Interesting. Why is your name listed here under "Special Thanks"?

"Dick Gumshoe"

- That's it sir! You found it! Oh... Um... That's because I did the choreography for the "Dance, Dance, Blue Badger" song!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (I suspect that no one entrusts him with any real responsibilities at work...)

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Gatewater Land... Who would have guessed this place would be such a success? But the Gatewater Group and I go way back, you know?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Yes... Same here. I handled two murder cases that took place at two of their hotels. And it was you who headed the investigation in each case.

"Dick Gumshoe"

- Oh, I remember that, sir! I was 16 back then, standing in front of the hotel in the snow...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ............

"Franziska von Karma"

- Overruled!

"Franziska von Karma"

- Any day now, I'll be taking my rightful place behind this bench.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- By that time I should already be standing here.

"Franziska von Karma"

- It'd be downright disgraceful if I beat you to it, wouldn't it?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- If that were to happen Franziska... I'll eat my cravat.

"Franziska von Karma"

- This must be the Judge's desk. You can tell by the gavel sitting on top.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- I had a dream once that I was being squashed from above by this gavel.

"Franziska von Karma"

- You're such a weakling, Miles Edgeworth.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- You have no idea how frightening it was.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- It's the defense attorney's bench.................. (I'd probably be standing on this side of the courtroom if that incident hadn't happend.)

"Franziska von Karma"

- What are you thinking about? Lately, the more wrinkly your face becomes, the less I'm able to read what you're thinking.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hmm... A ladder.

"Kay Faraday"

- Actually, that's a step-ladder.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- They're the exact same thing.

"Kay Faraday"

- No way! From their structure up, they're totally different! But of course, from a thief's perspective, the best kind of ladder is the rope-ladder. A step-ladder is much too heavy to carry around, after all.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- (And from a prosecutor's perspective, any type of ladder is guilty... of being dangerous during an earthquake.)

"Athena Cykes"

- ...Oh, that would be my indispensible [sic] partner, Widget. He... sometimes blurts out what I'm thinking.

"Gaspen Payne"

- Heh heh. Well then. If that's the case, then it's a clear contradiction to what you just stated!

"Athena Cykes"

- (A contradiction?)

"Gaspen Payne"

- You just stated that you said nothing. However, if that device of yours says what you're thinking... then you indeed said I was... what was it? Elegance at work?

- Eeep! (Actually, it was arrogant jerk...)

"Gaspen Payne"

- Phoenix Wright... I've been looking forward to meeting you.

- Okay, Mr. Wright! Let's get to work!

- Hey, put a sock in it, Widget!

"Athena Cykes"

- Your Honor, please put a stop to this! Mr. Payne is badgering the defendant!

"Judge"

- Yes, Ms. Woods does seem quite frightened. Mr. Payne, I ask that you behave more like a gentleman.

"Gaspen Payne"

- Ah, but don't you know, Your Honor? There is no more a gentle man in this world than I.

"Athena Cykes"

- Ugh, as if a gentleman, or even a "gentle man," would behave like he does! Don't let that rude ruffian win!

"Juniper Woods"

- Theeena...! *sniffle*

"Gaspen Payne"

- How dare you call a gentleman such as I a "rude ruffian"?! I'll have you know I attend a manners class every Saturday. I'm more than just a mere gentleman -- I'm a GENTEEL-man!

"Athena Cykes"

- ........... Oh, hey, did you read the paper this morning, Boss?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh? The paper? That came out of left field.

"Athena Cykes"

- You didn't read it? Then you don't know the big news! Somebody spotted an abominable snowman waaaaaaaay up in the mountains!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Tell me you know the difference between a paper and a tabloid, Athena!)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Apollo doesn't remember a thing, does he?

"Athena Cykes"

- Yeah... he can't recall anything from the time right before he was assaulted. Nothing about what he was doing in Courtroom No. 4, or who assaulted him. The doctor said it's probably due to that hit he took on the head.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Assaulted in a court of law and losing your memory at that... I know how that feels...)

"Judge"

- So Mr. Justice stayed by your side while you were feeling unwell...? What an admirable young man! I thought his loud voice was his only outstanding feature...

"Athena Cykes"

- He may look like a little imp at times, but Apollo can be really nice, too!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I hope she didn't hurt her wrist backhanding that one out...)

"Juniper Woods"

- Apollo is so strong and kind, just like the trees of the forest...

"Phoenix Wright"

- (The way she makes him sound, you'd think Apollo was some kind of ancient god... Oh, wait...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- So, he started his search with the witness stand, you say?

"Juniper Woods"

- That's right. I guess maybe he wanted to start from the furthest point in the room. He was being so brave... *cough* and strong... *cough*

"Phoenix Wright"

- But that's odd... Under the circumstances, he shouldn't have been capable of that...

"Juniper Woods"

- But he WAS! And he still IS! He might not look like it, but he really IS brave! And kind, too!

"Phoenix Wright"

- No, that's not the part I'm finding fault with. (SOMEONE has a crush on Apollo...)

"Judge"

- If Mr. Justice didn't leave this message in blood... then who did?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh?

"Athena Cykes"

- What?

"Juniper Woods"

- *cough*

"Gaspen Payne"

- ................. Oh!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Looks like I should've taken that train of thought through to the last station...)

"Gaspen Payne"

- Well, well. I've heard a lot about this. So this is Mr. Wright's famous bluffing technique, is it?

"Judge"

- Ah, this feeling! It brings back memories of the old days! Back when you carved out a name for yourself by bluffing your way through think and thin!

"Athena Cykes"

- Gee, Mr. Wright. The judge kind of makes you sound no better than a two-bit con man...

"Gaspen Payne"

- Hmph! Erase two lines, and they match up, you say?! Well, I can change anything into anything else simply by erasing two lines! What if we erased two lines from your name?! Would you be happy as "Mr. Wrigh"?!

"Judge"

- Well? Would you, Mr. Wrigh?

"Phoenix Wright"

- The only RIGHT spelling is "Wright"!

"Judge"

- I see. So it is your assertion that you merely moved the body, is that it?

"Ted Tonate"

- THAT IS CORRECT. I DID NOT KILL DETECTIVE ARME.

"Judge"

- Oh, well, if that's all you did, then... .................Wait a minute! That in and of itself is a criminal act!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Glad to see you finally cross that finish line, Your Honor!)

"Gaspen Payne"

- The victim may have suspected Mr. Tonate for no reason other than the fact that, as a bomb specialist, he was in charge of the bomb. In other words, a false accusation! It's vocational discrimination, I say!

"Judge"

- Hmm... I do not support discrimination of any kind.

"Gaspen Payne"

- Well spoken, Your Honor! If the victim had been found to be killed with a gavel, Mr. Blue Suit over there probably would pin the crime on you!

"Judge"

- H-He would?! Well! That just wouldn't do! Mr. Wright, if you DARE try to pin anything on me, I will find you in contempt of court!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (But I've never even TRIED to harm a hair on-- er, a strand of your beard, Your Honor!)

The Monstrous Turnabout quotes
"Athena Cykes"

- Prosecutor Blackquill doesn't seem to intimidate Detective Fulbright.

"Apollo Justice"

- Well, you know what they say: ignorance is bliss.

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh, so that's why Detective Fulbright was assigned to Blackquill. He's so oblivious!

"Apollo Justice"

- So, Athena, you mentioned studying psychology.

"Athena Cykes"

- That's right! I've always wanted to bring analytical psychology into the courtroom. The power of psychology will bring a breath of fresh air to the legal system.

"Apollo Justice"

- Oh, really? So how do you plan on using it to defend our client?

"Athena Cykes"

- ...Um, well, for example, I can try to listen in on a witness's inner voice... and then analyze their psychological state with the help of my trusty partner Widget!

"Apollo Justice"

- Widget...?

"Athena Cykes"

- This device around my neck here! Say hi, Widget!

"Widget"

- Hi, Widget!

"Apollo Justice"

- IT TALKS?!

"Athena Cykes"

- Whoa, you need a volume knob! Anyway, the little guy will sometimes say what I'm feeling.

"Widget"

- Awk-ward...

"Athena Cykes"

- Yep! That's your attorney's badge, all right! It's dull, grimy look makes me think of all the courtroom battles you've faced so far! I hope mine will look like that someday! Look out legal world, Athena Cykes is psyched and ready to go!

"Apollo Justice"

- ...................... (Actually, I just haven't polished it lately. Maybe I should keep that to myself. No need to deflate her dreams about "work" just yet.)

"Apollo Justice"

- You okay, Athena? You've been really antsy since you got here.

"Athena Cykes"

- I-I'm just excited. This is my first real court case after all.

"Apollo Justice"

- (Yeaaah... A real ball of excitement, she is... I know just what she needs.) ATHENA!!!

"Athena Cykes"

- Eek! Didn't you ever learn about indoor and outdoor voices?

"Apollo Justice"

- I'm just trying to show you the best way to relieve your pre-trial jitters.

"Athena Cykes"

- By scaring the daylights out of me?

"Apollo Justice"

- No, I find that shouting "I'm fine!" in a loud voice really relieves stress. It's part of my "Chords of Steel" workout, and a must before every trial.

"Athena Cykes"

- Y-You want me to shout? Here?

"Apollo Justice"

- That's right. Here, I'll go first, then you try. I'm Apollo Justice and I'm fine!!!!

"Athena Cykes"

- All right, um... I-I'm Athena Cykes...and I'm fine! .............Hmm... I think that actually worked!

"Apollo Justice"

- I thought that might help. Always works for me. An old friend of mine from junior high and I say it all the time.

"Athena Cykes"

- I see... A proven remedy to calm the soul. I like it! Hey, how about we finish off with... A race around the courthouse!

"Apollo Justice"

- The point is to relieve stress, not get totally exhausted!

"Apollo Justice"

- So, he must be a pretty scary guy, considering he's a prison inmate and all.

"Phoenix Wright"

- So they say. They also say he'll cut you down if you talk too much.

"Apollo Justice"

- Ack! I knew he was gonna be bad news!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ha ha ha, it's probably just hyperbole, at least I hope for your sake.

"Apollo Justice"

- Wait, so is it true or not?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Let's just say you should be concise and choose your words carefully. If you'd like to keep that head of yours attached to the rest of your body, that is.

"Apollo Justice"

- Yikes! (Better tone down my Chords of Steel, too.)

"Judge"

- But, but... we need an opening statement as an overview of the case at hand.

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph. Well, then, Your Baldness, if it's so very important, why don't you do the honors?

"Judge"

- Who?! Me?!

"Simon Blackquill"

- There's a term for people who whine and fuss about how they need silly, useless things, and then decide they no longer want them once it's theirs: a selfish old fool.

"Judge"

- Huh?!

"Athena Cykes"

- Wait, was that the prosecution's opening statement?

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph. Old dotards such as you are a plague upon the young. I pity your poor grandchildren, or is it great grandchildren?

"Judge"

- ! All these years, I thought the opening statement was the prosecutor's job, but I suppose I could give it a try. Might be a nice change of pace.

"Apollo Justice"

- What?! (He actually fell for that?!)

"Athena Cykes"

- That must've been the power of suggestion Mr. Wright was talking about.

"Apollo Justice"

- Not so fast! Don't try to brush it all off by saying the alderman had been a pro wrestler. Do you really expect us to believe he could fight back after being skewered by a spear?

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph. Never heard of the incredible feats of which man is capable of in a pinch, have you? Like the samurai of yore, wrestlers can battle through intense pain. It sharpens their senses. I used to talk about it with a former wrestler I met in the clink.

"Apollo Justice"

- I dunno... It still sounds a little far-fetched.

"Simon Blackquill"

- Does it now? ......Then perhaps we should test the theory on you with the edge of my blade.

"Apollo Justice"

- (I didn't sign up for this!)

"Simon Blackquill"

-  ............Hmph. And so your life is spared... for now.

"Apollo Justice"

- (Please let those shackles be made of titanium... I don't want to die.)

"Athena Cykes"

- The rumors and quirks of Mayor Tenma have no relevance to this case! Besides, those charms on his head... they're... they're just a fashion statement! ...I think.

"Simon Blackquill"

- A particularly frightening inmate once told me that he always tenderly honed his blades before he went to work, like the samurai of yore.

"Judge"

- Samurai? Sounds more like a homicidal maniac to me!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Actually, he was working in the prison kitchen at the time.

"Apollo Justice"

- (Wait, so the inmate was a murdering samurai prison chef?)

"Judge"

- Is the defense actually suggesting some sort of monster killed that alderman?

"Athena Cykes"

- That's exactly what I'm suggesting!

"Apollo Justice"

- No, Athena! You just lost what little credibility we had left!

"Athena Cykes"

- ............Aah! Sorry, sorry! Guess I got carried away!

"Judge"

- Mr. Justice, we've no time to deal with objections between members of the defense.

"Apollo Justice"

- Sorry, Your Honor. It's just, this kid's still, well, a kid...

"Athena Cykes"

- Ouch... You meanie! I'm reporting this to Mr. Wright!

"Judge"

- So, is this court to believe the feathers and tracks are from a "yokai" as you put it?

"Apollo Justice"

- Uh, no, Your Honor. I believe they are a fabrication. The real killer wants us to believe some sort of monster murdered the alderman.

"Judge"

- Hmm, interesting. And why do you suppose the killer would do that?

"Apollo Justice"

- Umm.... Why, indeed?

"Judge"

- Mr. Justice, you seem as new to this as your partner is.

"Apollo Justice"

- Ouch... (This, I'm not reporting to Mr. Wright...)

"Simon Blackquill"

- .......Right. There never really were any yokai there. So, the defense is asserting the exact opposite of their original assertion?

"Apollo Justice"

- ............Wait. Um, Jinxie? What about Tenma Taro?

"Jinxie Tenma"

- There wasn't anyone there dressed up as Tenma Taro, or any other yokai, either. I remember it clearly now.

"Apollo Justice"

- You've--

"Athena Cykes"

- Gotta--

"Apollo Justice"

- Be--

"Athena Cykes"

- ...If only we had some sort of evidence that could point to a flying killer.

"Apollo Justice"

- Who's saying we don't? (As completely far-fetched as it might be...

"Athena Cykes"

- WHAAAT?! You're saying you can prove the killer could fly?!

"Apollo Justice"

- Whoa! I thought I was the one with the Chords of Steel!

Later... "Simon Blackquill"

- The falsified yokai remnants... and the appearance of "Tenma Taro" were the work of one individual. And that individual is none other than Jinxie Tenma!

"Apollo Justice"

- ................. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Noooooooooooooooo!

"Judge"

- Order! Order!!! The defense will stop competing for the greatest freak-out ever!

"Damian Tenma"

- Silence! I am Tenma Taro -- freed from the bonds binding me to the Forbidden Chamber! Behold! The return of the Demon King!

"Apollo Justice"

- Wh-What the--?!

"Athena Cykes"

- Demon King...?!

"Judge"

- Well then, I think it's time for me to... t-take a vacatioooon!

"Judge"

- Order! Order!!!

"Athena Cykes"

- Now he's got everyone in the courtroom believing in yokai!

"Apollo Justice"

- It's Simon Says on steroids!

"Apollo Justice"

- There really is no escaping here through the air duct. And here we went through all the trouble of bringing a ladder to check it out.

"Athena Cykes"

- That's not a ladder, Apollo. It's a stepladder.

"Apollo Justice"

- What's the difference? They both have the word ladder in them.

"Athena Cykes"

- What's the difference...? ........................... Oh, I know! Let's play rock, paper, scissors to decide who's right!

"Apollo Justice"

- You're way too competitive. And it's not even related to the original issue, either!

"Florent L'Belle"

- Pffft, The Amazing Nine-Tails? What's so AMAZING about HIM? I mean, MY glossies are selling WAY better than his.

"Apollo Justice"

- You sell glossies of yourself?

"Florent L'Belle"

- That's right. I have one for all seven of my hair colors!

"Apollo Justice"

- ............ (Well, guess that's it. Civilization over.)

"Judge"

- Mr. Filch, you made quite the hasty exit yesterday. See that it doesn't happen again today.

"Phineas Filch"

- Eh heh heh. Been known for my hasty retreats since I was a kid. Bit of a trademark o' mine.

"Judge"

- Indeed. You managed to give a total of five bailiffs the slip.

"Phineas Filch"

- Like those amateurs could ever nab me, eh heh heh.

"Simon Blackquill"

- 

"Phineas Filch"

- Yiiipes!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Perhaps we should shackle you by the neck. That would keep you in place.

"Phineas Filch"

- Yipes! No, please, I'm liable to rip my own head off if I start running!

"Simon Blackquill"

- All monsters are naught but tricks, either of the mind or the cheap parlor variety.

"Judge"

- So, you're saying she created an illusion like one of those magical eye things?

"Simon Blackquill"

- Precisely. Human senses are easily deceived. Take the fellow in the cell next to me. Every night, he cries and screams about some ghost he thinks he sees. But in truth, it was simply the janitor.

"Judge"

- Ho ho ho. Prosecutor Blackquill just gave up the ghost, literally!

"Simon Blackquill"

- The janitor's deathly complexion and all-white attire are, no doubt, partially to blame. That and the fact that he constantly mutters about taking vengeance for this or that.

"Apollo Justice"

- (That...... actually sounds like a real ghost to me.)

"Apollo Justice"

- Well... you're not going to brush it all off by claiming the perp was short!

"Phineas Filch"

- Eh heh heh. Musta hit a raw nerve 'cause ya ain't that tall yourself!

"Apollo Justice"

- (Look who's talking, Mr. I've-got-to-stand-on-a-box-just-to-testify!)

"Judge"

- Hmm... But Mr. Justice, how do you propose to identify the hand cream's owner?

"Apollo Justice"

- I'm glad you asked, Your Honor. The defense requests a fingerprint analysis on this piece of evidence! It might tell us who it belongs to!

"Judge"

- Interesting... So, you expect to find the yokai's prints there? Very well, I hereby call a short recess while we wait for the fingerprint results.

"Simon Blackquill"

- No need for that, Your Baldness. We have the prints of everyone at the manor that day.

"Bobby Fulbright"

- You called, Prosecutor Blackquill?!

"Apollo Justice"

- (.........Could anyone be more whipped?)

"Athena Cykes"

- Now that we've got that one in the bag, let's go get something to eat! I'm starving!

"Apollo Justice"

- Sounds good. I've been so nervous I haven't eaten since yesterday.

"Athena Cykes"

- Better keep eating, Apollo! Or you might have to start looking up at me!

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh? I'm definitely past my growth phase, and you should be about past yours, too!

"Athena Cykes"

- Are you kidding me? I'm just getting started! Ready or not... it's face-stuffing time!

"Apollo Justice"

- Keep eating like that and the only direction you'll grow is sideways.

"Athena Cykes"

- Very funny! I've got a hollow leg! I can eat as much as I want without gaining an ounce!

"Apollo Justice"

- Really? Wow, I can't wait to see this.

"Athena Cykes"

- Calories? Ha! Just let 'em try to stick on me!

Turnabout Academy quotes
"Athena Cykes"

- The voice on the tape recorder never was "You're a goner!" That's only what we thought we heard, when in fact, it was the witness getting yelled at! The court will note that this is different from the selective hearing men are so good at!

"Apollo Justice"

- ...I think you're right, but what was that last part again?

"Athena Cykes"

- Never mind.

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh, speaking of the mock trial, do either of you know what it's about?

"Aristotle Means"

- Oh, but I thought we had sent a pamphlet to your office.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Right, the pamphlet... Whatever happened to that?

"Athena Cykes"

- You won't be seeing it again. Trucy used it for the old rip-it-up-and-restore-it trick. ...Unfortunately, it didn't work as advertised.

"Aristotle Means"

- From what I've heard, our esteemed Mr. Wright here is scheduled to hold a training seminar tomorrow, in addition to today's lecture.

"Athena Cykes"

- A training seminar? For lawyers? What exactly does that involve?

"Aristotle Means"

- Why, it involves the very skills that make a lawyer, a lawyer! The arm angle when shouting "Objection!" The proper way to strike the podium... How to project one's voice... And most importantly, how to bluff your way to victory!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh? Um, who exactly do you want me to teach stuff like that to again?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Oh, a shiny new attorney's badge. Brings back memories...

"Athena Cykes"

- I've heard that countless people live in dread of your pointer finger. Were you really that scary back then, Mr. Wright?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ah ha ha. Strike one. I've always been just as you see me here.

"Athena Cykes"

- A harmless sheep in wolf's clothing?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Strike two.

"Athena Cykes"

- Do you have an old picture of yourself? Wait, never mind! I'm not sure I want to see it!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Strike three, you're out.

"Athena Cykes"

- I think that's all we're going to find out from the body for now.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Nice work, Athena. Your face only turned five shades of pale. I was expecting fifty. We should probably take a picture of the crime scene, just in case.

"Athena Cykes"

- Okay, I'm on it! Say cheese! *snap*

"Phoenix Wright"

- Cheese? And I thought I was the one with the twisted sense of humor.

"Athena Cykes"

- You two seem to know each other. Is someone going to introduce me?

"Klavier Gavin"

- Why, I do believe we have a fresh face here. Greetings, Fraulein. I am Klavier Gavin. Some know me as a prosecutor, but I'm most famous for my former rock band. We were quite popular you know, but regrettably, the band went kaput. Perhaps you've heard of us? The Gavinners? I was the lead vocalist.

"Athena Cykes"

- Never heard of your band. Then again, I was out of the country till only recently. But... can I get your autograph?

"Apollo Justice"

- You just met him like three seconds ago and you want his autograph?

"Klavier Gavin"

- May I ask why you people present your attorney's badges like that? It seems like Herr Forehead and Mr. Wright always want to show theirs off, too.

"Athena Cykes"

- Well, let me ask you, Prosecutor Gavin. Why do you play air guitar?

"Klavier Gavin"

- Ah!

"Athena Cykes"

- It would seem the answer we seek can be found in much the same place.

"Apollo Justice"

- I never gave it that much thought, actually. I always just whip it out.

"Klavier Gavin"

- Achtung, baby! It's no holds barred! Let's rock!

"Apollo Justice"

- Aw, can't we take it easy today?

"Athena Cykes"

- It may just be a mock of a mock, but there's only one way to compete! You play to win! So remember, each time I catch you slacking off, I'm holding you in contempt of court!

"Apollo Justice"

- Great... A judge that voices her own objections AND abuses her judicial powers.

"Klavier Gavin"

- Our case is set in a school very much like this one. The victim -- a professor, female. The defendant -- an Archery Club member, also female.

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh me, oh my... I'm innocent! Innocent I tell you!

"Klavier Gavin"

- That's some seriously bad acting, Fraulein.

<option< "Apollo Justice"

- Before the crime occurred, the defendant was to meet with the victim in the quad.

"Athena Cykes"

- Um, ahem... Let's see here... "When I arrived at our meeting place, I found the professor with an arrow in her stomach! But... it wasn't me! I didn't kill her!"

"Apollo Justice"

- You don't have to ham it up like that, Athena.

"Klavier Gavin"

- It's called getting into character, Herr Forehead. Don't be such a wet blanket.

"Apollo Justice"

- A frail coed used her bare hands to stab her professor with an arrow? I don't think so. At the time of the murder, a male student was seen holding a bow in the Archery Club room, which has a clear view of the quad. He shot the arrow into the victim before my client even got there!

"Klavier Gavin"

- Nein nein, Herr Forehead. That feigned swagger does not suit you in the least.

"Athena Cykes"

- Order! Order! ORDER!!! Especially you, Mr. Justice!

"Apollo Justice"

- Me?! But I was just trying to get into it like Mr. Euro Rocker said.

"Apollo Justice"

- Oh, nice. Your attorney's badge! That's the first thing you want to present when you meet someone new. I heard that's what all the lawyers do.

"Athena Cykes"

- You heard that? From whom?

"Apollo Justice"

- Who else, Mr. Wright. Just remember, your badge comes first! See, Athena! Check it out! This is my attorney's badge!

"Athena Cykes"

- ((Ooh! That's so intense! I want to present mine like that, too!)

"Athena Cykes"

- Who put this stupid box here? Wait............... Eek! A-A-Apollo! This box, there's...!

"Apollo Justice"

- Wh-What now?

"Athena Cykes"

- Th-Th-There's! There's someone or... *gulp* something inside!

"Apollo Justice"

- Don't let it be a SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

"Judge"

- Will the witness please state his name and occupation.

"Robin Newman"

- IIIIIIIIIIII'M ROBIIIIIIIIN NEWMAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! I want to become a great artist! I practice day and night!!! YEAAAAAAH!  NOOOOOO! That's not it! Art's gotta be sincere, maaaaaan!!!

"Judge"

- So, for occupation, should we put down ...budding artist?

"Robin Newman"

- NOOOOOO!  Themis Legal Academy! Senior! PROSECUTOR COOOUUURSE! This brace is proof of my masculinity! I've been training to be a prosecutor for 18 years!

"Judge"

-  *ahem* I assume you will be cleaning up the pottery you smashed before you leave today.

"Robin Newman"

- ...........Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh! AWW, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hold! I am not through with you yet.

"Hugh O’Conner"

- Heh. It seems the rogue prosecutor has it out for me.

"Simon Blackquill"

- Leave, and we just might discuss you-know-what.

"Hugh O’Conner"

- Ack! N-No, wait!

"Athena Cykes"

- (One little statement and Mr. Cool loses it? What's that all about?

"Athena Cykes"

- So, um... do you meditate often?

"Hugh O’Conner"

- Heh. Don't tell me you're going to start pestering me, too.

"Athena Cykes"

- What's that supposed to mean?

"Hugh O’Conner"

- No need to play dumb with me. All the girls want to know about my private life.

"Athena Cykes"

- Wha--?!

"Judge"

- I will remind the defense this is a court of law, not a pick-up spot.

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph. It seems miss fancy-pants lawyer is smitten with the witness.

"Athena Cykes"

- Objection! Objection!!! OBJECTIIIIOOOOON!!! I'm just trying to establish the witness's--

"Hugh O’Conner"

- If you must know, I never go a day without meditating. Satisfied now, stalker girl?

"Athena Cykes"

- That's it! You'd better take that--!

"Apollo Justice"

- Whoa, whoa, there, tiger. Just take a deep breath and relax.

"Hugh O’Conner"

- Heh. I'll just continue my testimony now, if you don't mind.

"Apollo Justice"

- You okay, Athena? You're turning kind of pale.

"Athena Cykes"

- ...I can't just stand around here! I'm going to finish the investigation!

"Trucy Wright"

- Can't it wait? I just took a batch of freshly baked cookies out of my magic panties!

"Athena Cykes"

- Thanks, but I'd better get going! Save me one for when I get back.

"Robin Newman"

- Aww, maaaaaan... That's my blood, sweat, and tears in a pile of rubble right there!

"Athena Cykes"

- Why not make the statues again? I'm sure the two of them would be delighted.

"Robin Newman"

- Yeah! I could totally do that! And this time... I'm gonna make them even more realistic by making full body molds of my models!!!

"Athena Cykes"

- Full body molds? Um... are you sure that's safe? How about plain old measurements?

"Robin Newman"

- Oh, Athena. Measurements are for wimps! Full on YOLO is what art's all about! I'm gonna drop both of 'em in a big pool of plaster! YEAAAAAAH!

"Athena Cykes"

- I know I should stop you, but some part of me really wants to see how this plays out.

"Athena Cykes"

- Have there been any problems now that everyone here knows you're a girl?

"Robin Newman"

- Heh heh, no worries there! I discussed the matter with Prof. Courte some time ago. I told her I wanted to let everyone know I was really a girl. And just today I found out that she spoke with the school administration on my behalf.

"Apollo Justice"

- Wow, they must really like you...

"Robin Newman"

- I know, right? But now I can finally be myself here at school! I don't have to hide the fact that I love girly clothes! That's why, Athena, I simply must have [Stage Costume] and... [Glowing Costume Photo] by any means possible!

"Athena Cykes"

- What? B-But this is evidence we need for the trial. ...Sorry, but no can do!

"Robin Newman"

- Aww, don't be a party pooper, Athena. Come on, please? Pretty please?

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh, darn it...

"Judge"

- Order! Order!!! Mr. O’Conner! Have you been lying to this court?

"Hugh O’Conner"

- The screen... Right... It must have slipped my mind.

"Athena Cykes"

- What?! Are you telling me you, Mr. Genius, forgot something as literally big as that?

"Hugh O’Conner"

- There are two kinds of memory lapses: the normal kind you mouth-breathers have... and the genius-level lapses of memory that people like me have.

"Athena Cykes"

- (Why don't you just admit that it was a normal, everyday brain fart already?!)

"Apollo Justice"

- T-T-Twenty-five? You mean he's older than me?!

"Judge"

- A twenty-five-year-old high school student?!

"Hugh O'Conner"

- Heh. A seven-year break... Seven years... I've just one thing to say. There are two kinds of seven-year breaks. The ordinary kind you mouth-breathers take... and the genius kind people like me take.

"Athena Cykes"

- (This can't be happening. Instead of exposing Hugh's crime, Junie's in even deeper. No matter how you slice it, we're cooked! And here I thought Prosecutor Blackquill was on our side, at least on the issue.)

"Apollo Justice"

- The Twisted Samurai strikes again.

"Athena Cykes"

- Tsk, twisted?! It's more like dirty rotten!

"Judge"

- Hmm... I have a question I was hoping the defense and prosecution might help answer. Is it just me or does the witness's testimony make no sense at all?

"Athena Cykes"

- No, it's not just you, Your Honor. All I got from listening to that was a headache.

"Apollo Justice"

- Yeah, that was just plain weird, especially the whole thing about a body double.

"Judge"

- Well, I'm relieved it's not just me. ...And the prosecution?

"Simon Blackquill"

- Your Baldness, summon an ambulance this instance. The witness is stark, raving mad.

"Judge"

- Hmm... Yes, I think that would be for the best. Now then, let's pretend that never happened and move on to my verdict--

"Hugh O’Conner"

- You people don't believe me?!

"Athena Cykes"

- It's not a matter of not believing you. It's more along the lines of questioning your sanity.

"Apollo Justice"

- Yeah, the funny farm just called. They want their "genius" back.

"Hugh O’Conner"

- Go ahead, Prosecutor Blackquill. Cut me down if you wish!

"Simon Blackquill"

- ...Hmph. I thought you'd never ask. With you gone, we may swiftly proceed to a verdict. Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! ................Yah!!!

"Judge"

- Aaaaaah! H-He broke out of his shackles agaaaaaaaain!

"Apollo Justice"

- I don't want to be the poor accountant down at the detention center....

"Athena Cykes"

- Enough already, Mr. O’Conner. Ms. Woods would never want you to protect her this way. She values the friendship between the three of you more than anything!

"Hugh O’Conner"

- That's where you're wrong. She doesn't feel anything for me now. Heh. But what does it matter anymore? I might as well tell you everything. This is, no doubt, news to you, but I am not and never was a genius.

"Athena Cykes"

- Sorry, but I already knew.

"Apollo Justice"

- Me too.

"Judge"

- And don't forget about me! ...Though, in all fairness, it was pretty obvious.

"Aristotle Means"

- Eyes and ears up here, everyone! Homeroom is now in session! We will begin with roll call! ...Athena Cykes!

"Athena Cykes"

- Huh? ...Oh, uh, here?

"Aristotle Means"

- Apollo Justice!

"Apollo Justice"

- I'm fine! Er, I mean, here!

"Aristotle Means"

- Fool! The proper response is "here" without any extraneous information! 

"Apollo Justice"

- Ouch! I mean... Here!

"Aristotle Means"

- Next, Your Honor!

"Judge"

- Here!

"Aristotle Means"

- See, class? That's the proper way to answer! ...Simon Blackquill!

"Simon Blackquill"

- .........

"Aristotle Means"

- I said, Si-mon Black-quill! Are you here or not?!

"Simon Blackquill"

- .........

"Apollo Justice"

- There's always one, isn't there?

"Simon Blackquill"

- Get out? Very well, if that is your wish. Who am I to defy my homeroom teacher?

"Judge"

- I-Is that such a good idea? Prosecutor Blackquill IS free of his shackles...

"Simon Blackquill"

- Uuuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

"Bobby Fulbright"

- Ha ha ha! It just so happens I was a member of my high school's Disciplinarian Committee. But is that really so shocking?

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph. Constabulary lapdog to teacher's pet. What a malleable mutt you are, Fool Bright.

"Athena Cykes"

- Prof. Means, can you really prove you had already gone home by that time?!

"Aristotle Means"

- Can you prove I was still at school?!

"Athena Cykes"

- ........ No... No, I can't.

"Aristotle Means"

- Heh heh heh! So you admit it! Well, you just earned extra credit for your honesty! But you have also earned yourself lavatory cleaning duties until you graduate!

"Athena Cykes"

- Eeeeeeeeeeuw! (I do enough of that at the office!)

"Athena Cykes"

- Most of the other statue? What exactly does that mean?

"Aristotle Means"

- Robin created the basic outline of Mr. Wright's statue before the last bell rang. I, in turn, completed the rest of it.

"Athena Cykes"

- I see. In academics, as well as art, learning the basics is incredibly important. In short, you skipped the most important part of statue making, didn't you?

"Aristotle Means"

- Why you insolent little--! It is the practical applications built upon the basics that take so much time! Professors such as I mastered the basics a long, long time ago!

"Simon Blackquill"

- ...Hmph. Unlike Miss Fancy Pants here, who lacks all lawyerly fundamentals.

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh, quiet you...

"Judge"

- Why, it looks like there's some other piece of fabric on top of the school banner!

"Athena Cykes"

- It's the Gavinners banner that had been specially made for the school concert. Since it's on top of the school banner, the blood would have hit it first. It could have easily absorbed most of the blood, like a dishcloth... and only a small amount would've soaked through to the school banner below. So, it makes total sense for the school banner to only have a little blood on it!

"Aristotle Means"

- ...Argh! Hrrrgh!

"Judge"

- So, that banner absorbed the blood like a dishcloth! Yes, that would explain it!

"Apollo Justice"

- The Gavinners banner was like a dishcloth...? Surely it was at least towel quality...

"Athena Cykes"

- (How should I arrange myself to match the shape I want, given her hands were tied?)

"Athena Cykes"

- Tie both of my hands in an "Objection!" pose!

"Apollo Justice"

- You sure? What about the spiky hair on the back of the head?

"Athena Cykes"

- Ooh, I know! The boss is right there! Go pull some out and you can glue it on!

"Apollo Justice"

- Okay, I'm on it!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ouch! Ouch!!! What do you think you're doing, Apollo!!!

"Apollo Justice"

- S-Sorry, Athena, I... I couldn't do it!

"Athena Cykes"

- Tsk, don't be such a wimp!

"Judge"

- Aww... How unfortunate. And I was so looking forward to seeing where that was headed.

"Athena Cykes"

- It's all Apollo's fault! (Guess I'd better think of something else.)

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh, right! There was an arrow sticking out of her side! Okay, Apollo, take that and plunge it into my side!

"Apollo Justice"

- Wh-What are you crazy?!

"Athena Cykes"

- Fine, then go get some duct tape! Rapido, schnell!

"Apollo Justice"

- All right, all right! I don't need to know other languages to know "bossy" when I hear it.

"Athena Cykes"

- Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Well?! Am I not the spitting image of the legendary Phoenix Wright?! The man who will bring us out of these dark ages and into an era of brilliant golden light!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Golden Light? All I see before me........ is the pink specter of a man!

"Athena Cykes"

- Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's just because Mr. Wright likes his statue! He's positively tickled pink! Get it, Apollo? He's tickled pink!

"Apollo Justice"

- Blah, that joke deserves a pink slip.

"Juniper Woods"

- Thank you, Thena! I really mean it!

"Athena Cykes"

- Ha ha ha ha ha! It was nothing, really! I can take the biggest tangled mess of a case and unravel it just like that!

"Apollo Justice"

- I dunno... You looked pretty wound up there at the end -- literally and figuratively!

"Athena Cykes"

- You look pretty hungry for a knuckle sandwich, buster!

"Juniper Woods"

- Listen, Hugh. You, too, Robin, Myriam.

"Myriam Scuttlebutt"

- M-Me, too?

"Athena Cykes"

- (Myriam's got this tactical espionage action stuff down to a science.)

"Apollo Justice"

- Best friends forever, huh... No matter what anyone says, nothing beats true friendship.

"Athena Cykes"

- You bet! And what about your BFF, Apollo?

"Apollo Justice"

- Aren't you a bit old to be using that word? But yeah, he's the best friend a guy could have. Which reminds me, we're supposed to meet up and gossip about the new girl in the office.

"Athena Cykes"

- Hey! No talking about me behind my back!

The Cosmic Turnabout quotes
"Apollo Justice"

- Is this... a lotus root?

"Juniper Woods"

- That's right. My grandma says lotus root is good for your eyes. She even says that if you look through the holes, it can help you see into the future! It's for good luck! Maybe later, you can cook it and--

"Apollo Justice"

- Thanks for this! I'm gonna have some right now!

"Juniper Woods"

- Oh my!

"Apollo Justice"

- ............Mmm. *crunch* Kinda tough, though.

"Juniper Woods"

- Hee hee! You can't eat it raw! But... thank you for the enthusiastic try.

"Apollo Justice"

- (Oops! If she didn't think me weird before, she will now! I've gotta calm down!)

"Athena Cykes"

- Apollo! I'm sorry I'm late!

"Juniper Woods"

- Hi Thena!

"Athena Cykes"

- Junie! I didn't know you were coming today. Did you come to cheer Apollo on? Oh, I get it. You sly little thing, you! Ha ha ha!

"Juniper Woods"

- Th-Thena! Stop!

"Solomon Starbuck"

- Umm... Mind if I take this suit off? It's getting really heavy...

"Simon Blackquill"

- It's not the weight of the suit that you feel, but of your sins. Prepare to carry that weight for the rest of your life...

"Solomon Starbuck"

- ...........Banish me to the moon... I don't care anymore...

"Athena Cykes"

- Wow... That was super-negative... is he going to be all right up there?

"Apollo Justice"

- H-He'll be fine! I think... (As long as he doesn't totally give up and say that he did it, that is.)

"Solomon Starbuck"

- Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! You've ignited the booster rockets of my soooouuuul! I'm on fiiiiiiiiire! I am Solomon Starbuck, astronaut! A cosmic hero chosen by the universe itself! This is no time to be whimpering and crying! I can't let you and Clay down!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Balderdash.

"Solomon Starbuck"

- The sun... The moon... all of space is calling me! Solomon "Sol" Starbuck! Ready for launch! Begin the countdown! Five!

"Apollo Justice"

- Four!

"Athena Cykes"

- Three!

"Judge"

- Two!

"Solomon Starbuck"

- LIFT OFF!

"Athena Cykes"

- A window. And it's right next to the holographic image, too. I bet it's |here to help people see the stark contrast between reality and virtual reality. Here are the three doors. Hmm, let's call them "Lefty," "Righty," and "Downy."

"Phoenix Wright"

- People usually say "west," "east," and "south" in a case like this, you know.

"Athena Cykes"

- Details, details.

"Judge"

-  .........I suppose... we should reconvene the trial of Solomon Starbuck or something...?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ............Uh, Your Honor? Could you please come out from under your bench? There are no more bombs. I promise.

"Judge"

- ............Oh, yes, um... My apologies. I'm still a little jumpy when it comes to trials involving bombs. I mean, first the courtroom exploded, and then Mr. Tonate self-destructed!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I guess that's one way of describing what happened to Tonate...)

"Judge"

- Very well. Is the prosecution also ready?

"Simon Blackquill"

- ............

"Judge"

- Hmm? ............I take it you'd like me to give the opening statement this time?

"Athena Cykes"

- Looks like the judge has become a pretty good mind reader.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Well, he's certain seen more than his fair share of colorful prosecutors. You could say he's something of a veteran of sorts..

"Phoenix Wright"

- The defense argues there was a third person in the lounge, and that's who killed the victim!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph. To make such reckless claims in a courtroom takes a bold man... or a stupid one. There was no third person in the boarding lounge. Or have you gone dotty already... old man?

"Phoenix Wright"

- We'll see who's the dotard after I trounce you with my years of experience, little boy!

"Judge"

- Why, I believe I've seen you before in the newspapers.

"Yuri Cosmos"

- Of course you have! Of course you have! For I am Yuri Cosmos! Director of the Cosmos Space Center, which was of course named after me, Yuri Cosmos! ............ Don't you have anything you wish to ask me?

"Athena Cykes"

- Looks like he's all geared up to do some bragging.

"Yuri Cosmos"

- Seven years ago, I successfully launched the HAT-1, and--

"Simon Blackquill"

- Everyone already knows how brilliant you are. Even I am trying to hold back my tears at seeing such a great man standing before me. So could you please proceed directly to your important testimony?

"Yuri Cosmos"

- ............Ha ha ha! I see this fine young lad has a proper appreciation of greatness! Then allow me to begin my epochal testimony that will be recorded in the annals of history!

"Athena Cykes"

- That speech of Prosecutor Blackquill's just now... It sounded more to me like he was poking fun at Director Cosmos.

"Phoenix Wright"

- It's probably for the best that it sailed right over the director's head.

"Simon Blackquill"

- All things are possible, Wright-dono. The real question is... do you have any proof?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Uh, well...

"Simon Blackquill"

- If we're just talking "possibilities," we could each profess whatever we'd like. An inmate who used to be a university professor and lunar researcher used to say that there is a kingdom of little green men who live under the moon.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (As long as they don't punish us in the name of said moon for what we've done to it...)

"Judge"

- Yes, well, I have a question of my own actually. That bullet that the mysterious figure shot... what did it hit, exactly?

"Yuri Cosmos"

- ............It hit me.

"Judge"

- S-So does that mean you're a-a-a-a gh-ghost?!

"Simon Blackquill"

- I was wondering when you would realize it, Your Baldness. Director Cosmos is an authentic, bona fide ghost. He can even pass through walls.

"Judge"

- Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

"Athena Cykes"

- Prosecutor Blackquill! Shame on you for teasing the nice old gentleman!

"Simon Blackquill"

- ...Hmph. Your Baldness, it was all in jest. Please show yourself again.

"Judge"

- A-are you sure...?

"Athena Cykes"

- Okay, so Director Cosmos was in the Control Room to the east.

"Phoenix Wright"

- And while he was there, he was shot at by someone with a .10-caliber gun.

"Athena Cykes"

- But the bullet hit his medal, so he was able to escape with his life. He's a very lucky man. No wonder people think he's great.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Hey, I'm pretty lucky myself, so if he's a great man, then I'm the king of all cosmos!)

"Judge"

- I think I've heard enough. The case seems pretty clear-cut at this point. However, there is one thing I'm curious about. That metal box next to the witness stand... What purpose does it serve, exactly?

"Simon Blackquill"

- Since you asked so nicely... It's your coffin.

"Judge"

- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Have mercy on meeeeeeeeeeee!

"Simon Blackquill"

- ...I jest. It's evidence. Due to its immense size, we've little choice but to lay it where it rests now. We shall get to the contents of the box in due time.

"Judge"

- Phew... I feel like I just lost fifty years off of my life.

"Athena Cykes"

- Does he even HAVE fifty years left?

"Apollo Justice"

- Inner monologue, Athena! Inner monologue!

Turnabout for Tomorrow quotes
"Yuri Cosmos"

- Urgn! Curse the wretch who sullied my good name! Reverse course and full speed away!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Director Cosmos! Wait!

"Trucy Wright"

- I'll handle this, Daddy! Take that!

"Yuri Cosmos"

- Gaaaaagh! The mobility system has been compromised!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Trucy's knife throw was a direct hit to one of his tires!)

"Trucy Wright"

- And the streak continues!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Maybe I should've kept a closer watch on what tricks she's been practicing...)

"Yuri Cosmos"

- My dear, old battleship! We fought many a skirmish together! It has been an honor...

"???"

- Hee hee hee... Ha ha ha ha ha...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Um, Clonco?

"???"

- Ha ha ha! Human beings are our enemies! It's time for the machines to take over!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (The robots are rebelling!)

"???"

- Ha ha ha ha ha! Fools! How could you fall for something so cliché? I'm human, too, you idiots! I'm just controlling these robots remotely!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Wh-What?)

"Phoenix Wright"

- What's this? A giant robot arm, maybe?

"Pearl Fey"

- It's pretty big for an arm, but you're right! I think these thin parts here are finger bones! They're about as long as my legs!

"Phoenix Wright"

- And there's a spiked ball and giant drill on the floor, too. Is Aura trying to build some kind of weapon of massive destruction?

"Pearl Fey"

- Maybe she wants to use it to demolish a big building or something?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I can picture her gleefully tearing down the street doing just that. I better not think about it anymore.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Clonco, can I talk to you? (I really hope he's back to normal.)

"Clonco"

- You wish to speak to me, Mr. Wright? If you're going to hit me, please avoid the face area.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Hey, don't put me in the same class as that woman!)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Wright, take a look at this paper on Dr. Cykes and Ms. Blackquill's research.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Ponco and Clonco. They're the "robots with hearts" that Dr. Cykes created.) A heartbeat detection system lets them determine when a human is present. In addition, they can recognize people by their ID tag or facial features, and they can infer people's emotions by analyzing their tone of voice. That's amazing. Hey, I don't know, Edgeworth. They might even be more human than you.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Wh-What's that supposed to mean?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- It must be nice to finally have your attorney's badge back.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yeah. It's been eight years. I'm sorry for all I put you through.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- No... I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Nah. I was the one that made the decision.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- But now you can stand in court once again. And you can mow them down just like you used to.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (W-Way to put pressure on a guy. And since when did I get such a brutal reputation?)

"Letter from Maya Fey"

- I read somewhere that you were holding a trial in the middle of an exploding courtroom? That must've really been something, although weird is par for the course with you.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I think she, or whatever paper she's reading is a little off on the details...)

[...] "Pearl Fey"

- I apologize for barging in. The door was unlocked... But I can't believe there was a big explosion here! Your office doesn't look any different.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (She's even further off on the details than Maya.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Hey, look at this row of rolling cases. I bet the wheels make it easier for people to move heavy research materials around.

"Pearl Fey"

- I bet they'd be fun to ride around in. We could even probably both fit into the biggest one! I know! We could have Prosecutor Edgeworth push us!

"Phoenix Wright"

- I don't trust him not to push us down a flight of stairs...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Witness, please state your name and occupation.

"Ponco"

- My name is not "witness"! My name is Ponco!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Yes, I realize that. But when you are at the witness stand, you are the "witness."

"Ponco"

- No, I'm not! I'm Ponco! Say it with me! "Ponco"!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- What an utterly inflexible little robot!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (You're the last person who should be calling anybody "inflexible"...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- I disagree. This tool kit contained a knife.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- And what proof do you have of that?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Don't tell me your eye for art is failing you, too, Mr. Edgeworth.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- You are the last person in the world who should be criticizing my aesthetic sense!

"Judge"

- Now, now, he is simply watching out for your ocular health. Please proceed, Mr. Wright.

[...] "Phoenix Wright"

- If we rearrange the tools into a specific pattern... we might be able to tell which part of the overall design is missing.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hmph. Is that the theory your pitiful sense of aesthetics helped you come up with?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Edgeworth... Just let it go, man.)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hmph. Do you really expect us to swallow that, Mr. Wright? According to the robot's statements, there was no third person there. Did you really think I wouldn't see through your ludicrous grab for time?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- After all we've been through, Mr. Edgeworth, I'm disappointed. Don't you know by now that this smile of mine means I have absolute confidence?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hah! You make that pose all the time, regardless of the facts!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Under these circumstances, there can be no other suspect but the defendant.

"Apollo Justice"

- Unless... you think there was an alternative escape route...? Is that what you think, Mr. Wright?

"Judge"

- IS that what you think, Mr. Wright?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (IS that what you think Phoenix?)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hmph. It seems your junior partner has just showed us what trials are truly all about.

"Phoenix Wright"

- I believe you're right.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- We prosecutors painstakingly question every detail in pursuit of the defendant.

"Phoenix Wright"

- While we lawyers believe in and defend our clients to the end.

"Judge"

- When both sides go all-out against each other, that's when we discover the truth.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Precisely. And when the battle is over, we will understand the true meaning of trust. That exactly what trials are about, wouldn't you agree?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Because there was a security camera in Boarding Lounge 2. The culprit knew they would be recorded if they left the Space Museum that way!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- In that case, the culprit could have hidden in the museum until things settled down, and then blended in with the other people after the museum was opened.

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's a good point!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- But you claim that, despite all this, the culprit took a twenty-foot death-defying leap? And all in the brief moment the corridor and ladder passed by each other?

"Phoenix Wright"

- That's... also a good point...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- They would have needed a running start while the corridor was moving to make that jump. If their timing was off or if they couldn't jump far enough, it would mean instant death. What kind of person would attempt something like that?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Stop bringing up good points, Edgeworth...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- This "true culprit" of yours is nothing but a figment of your imagination!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Why do you always have to point out every flaw?!?!?!

"Apollo Justice"

- You know, this is the first time we've been at the defense bench together since I debuted.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Now that you mention it... (Although, back then, I thought you were more loud than you were reliable...) You've really come a long way, Apollo. You've grown a lot.

"Apollo Justice"

- Well, there have been some hiccups, but I guess I've done pretty well.

"Phoenix Wright"

- He's still got that ego of his, though.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- In other words, the culprit's real escape route was... ...the area outside the Space Center!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- You're

"Apollo Justice"

- Freakin'

"Judge"

- INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!

"Apollo Justice"

- ..............

"Athena Cykes"

- A-Apollo...!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Ugh... Well, this is awkward...

"Apollo Justice"

- Athena, can you do me a favor?

"Athena Cykes"

- Huh? What is it?

"Apollo Justice"

- Could you........... punch me, please?

"Athena Cykes"

- Wh-What?! Why should I do that?!

"Apollo Justice"

- Because I should have believed in you! I let the seed of doubt inside me get the best of me. I'm really sorry that I didn't trust--OUCH!

"Athena Cykes"

- Don't be such a dope! I was really touched by what you did!

"Apollo Justice"

- ................Huh? Now what are YOU talking about?

"Athena Cykes"

- You took the time and effort to genuinely think about what I am and what I'm made of... After all that, how could I punch a true friend like you, Apollo?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (You didn't have any trouble slapping him a second ago...)

"Bobby Fulbright"

- But you can’t define justice with evidence. Who can define it, anyway? Justice…. just is!

"Apollo Justice"

- D-Don’t make me……… break out a dictionary on you!

"Bobby Fulbright"

- Ngaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Please, don’t throw the book at me!

"Apollo Justice"

- Ugh… Tell me the phantom didn’t just make me set up a stupid pun for him.

"Aura Blackquill"

- All these years, hating Athena was the only thing that's kept me going... But what do I do now? Can anybody tell me? How am I supposed to go on?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Ms. Blackquill...)

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph. How unlike you, Aura. Metis was deeply passionate about her work, and she chose you as her partner. Isn't that--

"Aura Blackquill"

- Shut up, Simon! You know exactly how I felt about her! Her respect as a co-worker wasn't all that I wanted!

"Judge"

- Hmm... then what did you want from her?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (...Did you really just go there, Your Honor?)

"Bobby Fulbright"

- You shouldn't cast suspicion on people based on something as dubious as a habit! In fact, you have a bad habit of showing up in court with an awful case of bed head!

"Apollo Justice"

- Says the man who wears sunglasses at night. If it's proof you want, it's proof you get!

"Phoenix Wright"

- You can't think of a single reason that the phantom might be afraid of the rock?

"Bobby Fulbright"

- I thought the phantom wasn't even supposed to have any feelings? How can someone like me, with my wealth of emotions, be expected to understand the guy!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (The phantom, a person with very few emotions, would only be afraid of something really big. Like his cover getting blown big. I'm willing to bet that the moon rock has something to do with his identity, but what?)

"Athena Cykes"

- Maybe the phantom's fingerprints are on the rock?

"Apollo Justice"

- But fingerprints can be wiped off.

"Athena Cykes"

- Then maybe he wanted the rock so bad, he literally drooled on it and left his DNA?

"Apollo Justice"

- We're dealing with a SPY here, Athena, not a SLOB...

"Phoenix Wright"

- It's my theory that the culprit's blood got on the moon rock. And he was afraid that if the blood was analyzed, his true identity would be revealed. That's why the phantom had to remove the moon rock from the crime scene!

"Judge"

- You mean, if we ran the analysis now, we'd know who the phantom is?

"Bobby Fulbright"

- Ha ha ha ha ha! Yes, I suppose so! But, unfortunately, the moon rock in question is missing!

"Phoenix Wright"

- That may be so, but I'm certain I can explain what happened to it in great detail.

"Judge"

- Y-You can?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Of course! (...Not.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- I believe there was blood on the moon rock in that capsule. Now that we know you aren't even Bobby Fulbright, your claims of a phantom "trap" won't work anymore!

"???"

- Then why don't you bring this moon rock in? This decisive evidence from the Hope Capsule?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I think I will do just that! Get ready, because the Hope capsule is about to seal your.............F...Fuuuuuuuuuuuudge!

"Phoenix Wright"

- There's no use in trying to talk your way out of it anymore! Admit it! You are the phantom!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ............Huh?

"Apollo Justice"

- Mr. Wright, did you just raise an objection to yourself?

"Phoenix Wright"

- No. I didn't say a word...

"???"

- That was my objection, Apollo.

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh?

 "Phoenix Wright"

- WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

"Phoenix Wright?"

- It was a pretty good "objection," too, don't you think?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Now he's me?

"Judge"

- So, um, did you have an objection or not, Mr. Wright?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh? ...........Oh, uh, no, not really, Your Honor.

"Judge"

- No, not you, Mr. Wright. I mean the witness Mr. Wright.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Could this trial get any more insane...?)

"Athena Cykes"

- You can't outrun yourself!

"Apollo Justice"

- Remove your mask and unleash your emotions!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Confront your fears head on...

"Athena Cykes"

- Hey, I know one thing we have to do! We have to celebrate! With a bowl of piping-hot noodles!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh?

"Apollo Justice"

- Nothing like a bowl of Eldoon's Noodles after a trial, all on Mr. Wright's tab. That's how it works at the Wright Anything Agency, right, Mr. Wright?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh? Huh?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hmph. As a boss, it's your duty to express gratitude to your people for their great work.

"Simon Blackquill"

- In that case, allow me to join in the festivities. I would greatly welcome a bowl of noodles.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Huh? Huh? Huh?

"Trucy Wright"

- I have an idea, Daddy. Why don't you just invite everybody involved in the case? The more the merrier, right?

"Pearl Fey"

- Oh, Mr. Nick! Look how far you've come! Who knew you'd grow up to be such a generous gentleman?

"Phoenix Wright"

- .......................Um, guys? Under these circumstances... there's only one thing I can say.

"Apollo Justice"

- Only if I get to join in!

"Athena Cykes"

- Hey, no fair! I want to say it too!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Okay, here we go...!

&mdash; Turnabout for Tomorrow

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Besides... now that Prosecutor Blackquill has been cleared of all charges... a great deal of the mistrust towards the court system has been swept away.

"Phoenix Wright"

- You know, you could've said that with a bigger smile, Edgeworth. It won't kill you. Instead, the furrows on that brow of yours just keep getting deeper and deeper.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- So I should smile more, huh? ...........I'll think about it.

"Simon Blackquill"

- ...It was never my intention to throw my life away. But some things in this world are more important than your own life...

"Athena Cykes"

- Like what?

"Simon Blackquill"

- My honor-bound duty to protect with my life, my mentor's most beloved treasure.

Turnabout Reclaimed quotes
"Sasha Buckler"

- I need Phoenix Wright to save my friend!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Wh-Who in the world is this?!) Um... are you a client...?

"Athena Cykes"

- Wait... That costume... It looks just like... I've got it! You must work at Shipshape Aquarium!

"Sasha Buckler"

- That's right! You min-now it! I'm Sasha Buckler! I perform like an agile catfish in our pirate show! It'll blowfish your mind!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ("Minnow"? "Blowfish"? Those puns floundered a bit...)

"Sasha Buckler"

- But my friend is so sweet and gentle as a whale shark! She wouldn't hurt a guppy! I know there's no way she murdered anyone, but they won't believe me! But with a name like "Wright," I figured you'd be able to help me set them straight!

"Apollo Justice"

- Wait a minute... Don't tell me she picked you all because of a bad pun...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ouch. I see my reputation doesn't precede me...

"Phoenix Wright"

- But a singing orca, huh? It must've been tough to train her to do that.

"Sasha Buckler"

- That's Orla's best trick. She can only sing one song though.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Well, she's still got one up on a pianist who can't even play one song...)

"Phoenix Wright"

- What made you think Orla was summoning you?

"Sasha Buckler"

- Orla knows the sound of her cries doesn't carry far enough. So sometimes she summons people by making a loud noise. Heh heh. That Orla is smarter than the average whale, I tell you!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph. Taka would not be bested in a battle of wits.

"Athena Cykes"

- Wait a minute! Widget is the smartest one of all!

"Widget"

- Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the smartest one of all? Widget!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Am I expected to enter Trucy into this "my kid is better than yours"-apalooza...?)

"Phoenix Wright"

- A setting sun... Sunsets always remind me of how quickly the day goes by...

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh, Boss! It's just a painted backdrop, you know!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Down, Athena. Of course I know. I guess they used this for the Swashbuckler Spectacular.

"Athena Cykes"

- It looks handmade. Ooh, I just got an idea! Why don't we make our own "not guilty" backdrop?

"Phoenix Wright"

- And present it to the judge when things aren't going our way?

"Athena Cykes"

- No, we put psychological pressure on the judge by hanging it behind the defendant!

"Phoenix Wright"

- I... almost want to see how the judge would respond to that...

"Athena Cykes"

- Yikes! Look at that huge octopus!

"Phoenix Wright"

- That must be a show prop, too. One of its legs is missing, though.

"Athena Cykes"

- Wouldn't it be exciting to take on a huge enemy like that?! I'd like to give it a try, myself -- as a lawyer, that is!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (You know you have an insufficient number of limbs to out-object it, right?)

"Athena Cykes"

- Is that show makeup above Orla's eye?

"Sasha Buckler"

- That's right. It's a starfish. Kinda makes her look like a punk-rockin' pirate, dontcha think?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (A punk-rock pirate killer whale...? *groan* It's official -- society's on the road to ruin.)

"Athena Cykes"

- Hey, Boss! Look at this cute little fish!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Mmm... I bet it would be delicious grilled.

"Athena Cykes"

- Seriously? IS that really all you can think of?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Well, I didn't get to eat lunch today-- Ooh! And here comes grilled chicken!

"Athena Cykes"

- That's not a chicken, it's a penguin!

"Phoenix Wright"

- So you're really serious about me defending Orla?

"Sasha Buckler"

- Of course I am! You're the only one who can do it, Phoenix! I heard you once questioned an animal during a trial, and that got your client off the hook!

"Athena Cykes"

- No way! You did that?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- I, ah... might've tried something like that at one point in my career...

"Athena Cykes"

- Vamos a hacer esto! Let's check out the scene!

"Phoenix Wright"

- I'm glad to see your enthusiasm, but if you run like that, you're going to fall.

"Athena Cykes"

- Aaaaaaaaaaah!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...Too late.

"Marlon Rimes"

- Hey, I have an idea! If you run into Rifle again, would ya mind feedin' her for me? She didn't come back to the pool at feedin' time like usual, so I've been lookin' for her. She loves the smell of fish, so she might come over to you if you have some.

"Athena Cykes"

- Ooh, I would LOVE to feed a penguin! That'd be okay, right, Boss?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I don't mind, as long as YOU carry the fish.

"Athena Cykes"

- P-U! It smells so... fishy!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Really? What a shocker...)

"Athena Cykes"

- Well, if Rifle's walkie-talkie is here, then Rifle might still be here, too! Rifle! Come out, come out, wherever you are!

"Ora Shipley"

- *SPLASH*

"Athena Cykes"

- Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

"Ora Shipley"

- Fweet?

"Sasha Buckler"

- Are you okay? You have to be careful around pools, or you might slip right in!

"Athena Cykes"

- I'm more afraid of my heart jumping right out!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Hey, who's that riding on Orla? Isn't that Rifle?

"Athena Cykes"

- Hey, you're right! C'mere, Rifle!

"Rifle"

- ............ *kree*

"Athena Cykes"

- Argh! She ignored me again! Why doesn't that penguin like me?! Graaaaaaagh!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Now you've scared Rifle away with all that yelling...

"Athena Cykes"

- Grrrrr! Why can't I get Rifle to like me?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Maybe you should quit chasing after her with that scowl of yours...

"Pearl Fey"

- Mr. Nick! How could you speak to a lady so rudely?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Uh-oh. I got Pearls mad... again...) Why don't you try to get Rifle to take some food from you?

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh, great idea! And I have just the thing to offer her, too! Rifle! I have a present for you! It's chock-filled with love! Here you go!

"Ora Shipley"

- Fwee, fweet!

"Athena Cykes"

- Hey! Orla ate my love-filled fish! At least it looks like she enjoyed it, though.

"Ora Shipley"

- Fwee, fweet!

"Athena Cykes"

- I think Orla and I just had a bonding moment!

"Pearl Fey"

- Friendship blossoming with the exchange of some food! Oh, isn't it moving, Mr. Nick?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I think "moving" might be going a bit far...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Athena! Are you all right?! (She crashed into all that stuff behind her.)

"Athena Cykes"

- *groan* I tried to get out of the way, but all I did was slip and fall... again...

"Phoenix Wright"

- That was a pretty amazing wipeout. Are you hurt?

"Athena Cykes"

- I'm okay... but why did Orla spike that ball at me? After all that fish I gave her, I thought she liked me...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Maybe she thought you were the main entrée?

"Athena Cykes"

- Very funny, boss!

"Phoenix Wright"

- So what do you think about this case, Apollo?

"Apollo Justice"

- The murder of the owner of Shipshape Aquarium? .........Gah, I can't think with you looking at me so expectantly. I don't really have any ideas. Sorry I'm not any help.

"Athena Cykes"

- But you ARE a help! As long as you're the one playing officesitter, you're "fine"!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Hey, there's Apollo's favorite word! I think I'll say it a few times, too. I'm fine! I'm fine!

"Apollo Justice"

- Are you two making fun of me?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Who, us? Of course not. (Just yanking your chain a little.)

"Athena Cykes"

- Hey,there's a cannon in the shape of a shark! I'd love to try firing that thing! Boom!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Are these cannonballs supposed to look like fish eggs or something?

"Athena Cykes"

- Hm? But why fish eggs? Why not baby sharks? Think about how crazy it would be to have sharks go flying through the air! Watch the thrilling life-or-death struggle as the little tykes fight to stay alive out of water! I can see it now! The drama! The mayhem! The whirlwind of teeth!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (A tornado of sharks? Not even Hollywood could conjure up something that insane.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- So what does that machine you were using do?

"Herman Crab"

- It's a system of ecological data organization developed in Europe. I call it the TORPEDO! What do you think? Pretty impressive name, isn't it?

"Athena Cykes"

- "Torpedo?" As in "Man the battle stations!" and all that?

"Herman Crab"

- No, no! It's the name I gave to this data organization system. "TORPEDO." It stands for "TeleObservation Realtime PErtinent Data Organizer."

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Quite a name... I wonder if it's SuPer Admin Restricted Desktop Access pass-protected.)

"Herman Crab"

- Gaaah! I wish Sniper and Miss Baby Chick would both stop all the peeping and cheeping!

"Athena Cykes"

- M-Miss Baby Chick...?! How dare you-- No, wait. That actually sounds pretty cute.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Wow. HE just got away with calling a young woman a "chick" in court.)

"Judge"

- Are you implying that the orca was a witness to the crime?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- That is exactly what I'm implying!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Hmph, And...? How do you intend to prove the orca witnessed the murder...? What are you going to do, put the orca on the stand and cross-examine her?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (This is a critical point. I'd better think about it carefully...) The defense will present evidence, evidence that will prove Orla witnessed the murder!

"Judge"

- You're going to... present evidence? Knowing the defense, I thought surely you would try to cross-examine the orca... I must say I'm a little disappointed.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Gee, sorry to get your hopes up, Your Honor...)

"Judge"

- Well, it appears this line of reasoning has become unsustainable...

"Judge"

- Well, it appears that I was mistaken...

"Pearl Fey"

- Hello, everyone.

"Judge"

- That young lady... Didn't I meet her once before, a long time ago?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yes, that's Pearl Fey, my old friend.

"Judge"

- Well, well. Didn't she grow up to be a lovely young lady!  Aaaaagh!

"Simon Blackquill"

- I have no interest in this chit-chat. On with the cross-examination!

"Judge"

- M-Mr. Wright! This is all your fault! Why are you dawdling?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (How is this my fault?)

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ms. Shipley! I'm afraid "Fweet fweet fweet" is not going to get us anywhere!

"Simon Blackquill"

- ...Hmph. This is your plan of action? If you are incapable of interpreting orca speech, the entire exercise is folly!

"Athena Cykes"

- You leave the interpretation of Orla's heart to me! All right, girl? What have you got to say?! Lemme hear it!

"Ora Shipley"

- Fwe? Fwe fweet!

"Athena Cykes"

- ........ Oh, Orla! You're so cuuuuute!

"Simon Blackquill"

- ..............Wright-dono. Surely you don't intend to continue this farce...?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Could you interpret that for the court, Ms. Cykes?

"Ora Shipley"

- *whoosh*

"Athena Cykes"

- I'm getting a strong reading of happiness. Maybe she thinks she's doing a show?

"Simon Blackquill"

- I demand serious witness testimony! This is no time for fun and games! If you continue this mockery, I will subject you to forty lashes with a wet fish.

"Athena Cykes"

- Not a wet noodle? That just sounds... fishy.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Hey, speaking from experience, anything is better than forty lashes from a whip...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Your Honor! What is your opinion on the witness's statement just now?

"Judge"

- My opinion? My opinion is that there is nothing wrong with it.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Oh... This is my first trial in eight years. It looks like I made a little mistake...

"Judge"

- That is no excuse, Mr. Wright. I should give you eight years' worth of penalties!

"Norma DePlume"

- Well, if it isn't blue boy! Did you come for my book signing?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Oh, Ms. DePlume. There's a book signing?

"Norma DePlume"

- Yes, my new book is just out. It's called "Shipshape Aquarium: Don't Pull the Plug." The book signing will be held here in this room. After all, the vet owes me a favor.

"Herman Crab"

- Yes, she got them to approve the use of the TORPEDO. I'm grateful... but why does she keep coming to my lab to bother me every single day?!

"Norma Deplume"

- My next work will be entitled "Sniper: The Penguin Leaves the Next.

"Rifle"

- Kree! Kree!

"Herman Crab"

- Gaaaaaah! Stop this cacophony! Why am I surrounded by carping females?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Gee, Dr. Crab gets all the ladies... I guess I'll leave him to it...)

"Marlon Rimes"

- Sometimes when I'm by myself, I like to rap to pass the time. Especially when I'm around the animals I love.

"Athena Cykes"

- Oooh, I love animals, too! Especially marine creatures, like dolphins!

"Phoenix Wright"

- I like marine creatures, too. (But just the ones you can eat.)

The Foreign Turnabout quotes
"Gaspen Payne"

- The incident occurred after the Dance of Devotion rite.

"Phoenix Wright"

- "Dance of Devotion"?

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- You mean you don't know? The Dance of Devotion that is performed by Her Benevolence to the Song of Ceremony... It's only the must-see of any Khura'inese tour!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (That sour-faced girl from earlier? ...I can't see her dancing to ANYTHING, to be honest.)

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- You disappoint me, defense. I expect you to study and memorize this lyrics sheet posthaste!

The Magical Turnabout quotes
"Apollo Justice"

- He also has a habit of blurting out whatever Athena’s really thinking.

"Athena Cykes"

- Yeah, this little guy can be a little unruly at times.

"Widget"

- Hey, upgrade me already!

"Athena Cykes"

- How dare they cover it like that?! They're putting everything on Trucy! I'm going to stage a huge protest! You'll see!

"Apollo Justice"

- (Yikes. Athena's scary when she's mad!) Okay... So what's the plan?

"Athena Cykes"

- I'm gonna stop watching TV completely, starting today!

"Apollo Justice"

- That's your "huge protest?"

"Athena Cykes"

- Ah...! But there's this show I want to watch this week. Nrrrgh! I can already tell this is going to be a hard, uphill battle!

"Apollo Justice"

- Yeah... Good luck with that, Sisyphus.

"Apollo Justice"

- There's a sign here that says "Understage." I bet these stairs go to the understage area.

"Athena Cykes"

- Trucy told me she and her fellow magicians call it "the Abyss." I wonder why?

"Apollo Justice"

- Who knows. Maybe because it's really dark down there or something.

"Athena Cykes"

- Ooh, I bet they've got all kinds of magical goodies stashed away down there. C'mon! Let's go check it out! Huh? The door's locked. The entrance to the abyss is barred to mere mortals like us, huh?

"Apollo Justice"

- Oh, well. That's what you call "a swing and abyss."

"Judge"

- But Prosecutor Sahdmadhi, how do you know so much about him?

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- In preparation for the case, I watched all of his shows. I found "The Ratings Rajah Goes to Burger Barn" of particular interest. It inspired me to visit that restaurant straight away to learn more about the local cuisine.

"Judge"

- What?! YOU went to Burger Barn?!

"Apollo Justice"

- (Who would've thought...?)

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- Compared to my ascetic training, an hour's wait is nothing. I recommend the Southwestern burger with Jalapeno Jack Cheese, by the way.

"Athena Cykes"

- I'm having a really hard time picturing him in line for burgers...

The Rite of Turnabout quotes
"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Hm?! What is that badge you bear?

"Phoenix Wright"

- It's a sunflower pin. They're quite popular in my country.

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Hmm... It IS rather cute, I must say.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Actually, it's just my attorney's badge.

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Oh? So you mean it would have actually been worth more as a cheap accessory?

"Phoenix Wright"

- M-My profession is worth more than $1.20, you know.

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- In Khura'inism, slaying a priest is a sin most grave and dreadful. As such, Maya Fey's soul shall be plunged into the lowest level of hell -- the Hell of Tickling. There, she shall be tickled without end for 500 million years.

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- That is a terrible fate indeed. Would the defense care to respond?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (And here I thought the lowest level of hell was the Hell of Back Pain!)

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Do not flaunt that strap before me!

"Phoenix Wright"

- You know, I get the feeling you really want this for yourself, Your Benevolence.

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- You... youuu... nincompoop! You know not of what you speak! I desired it so dearly, that I had all of our retainers dispatch multiple postcards for it.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (All right, then. It seems "really want" was an understatement.)

"Ema Skye"

- It's been ages since you've presented evidence to me.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Remember when we worked that one case together? I seem to recall a thin layer of fingerprint powder on every piece of evidence then...

"Ema Skye"

- W-Well...! I guess they get that way from time to time now, too...

"Phoenix Wright"

- As enthusiastic as ever, huh, Ema.

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...I believe in my client. Plus, yesterday, somebody told me something that changed my mind: The Divination Séance was once thought of as just another piece of evidence. If we were to correctly interpret the visions through careful analysis, then they would lead us to the truth behind what really happened. And the truth will show that my client, Maya Fey, is innocent.

"Maya Fey"

- The truth is, you don't have anything else to fall back on, huh, Nick?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...Maya, please, you're not helping.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Look at this tattoo right here!

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- Why that's... a tattoo of a peach?

"Phoenix Wright"

- I would like you all to think about the meaning of this tattoo.

"Ema Skye"

- Oh, umm... The victim really liked peaches?

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- Well, peaches are a favored delicacy here in Khura'in.

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- They happen to be a personal favorite of mine. The sweetness of their abundant nectars and the softness of their perfectly ripe flesh. They are a blessing from the Holy Mother herself.

"Maya Fey"

- Nick, I've suddenly got a craving for peaches!

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...After the trial, Maya. Right now we have bigger fish to fry.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Unfortunately, that is NOT a tattoo of a peach.

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- ...It is not a peach, you say? Then what is it?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Take a closer look. Haven't you seen something like that before? Namely, the tattoo on the high priests's brow.

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- Oh my!

"Ema Skye"

- What?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- This mark is only borne by members of the Khura'inist clergy!

"Nahyuta Sahdmadi"

- So that is what you believe it to be. But are they not utterly different shapes?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Sure, they're shaped differently, but there's a reason for that. The victim had the peach-shaped tattoo inked over an existing tattoo for some reason. However, that dark red portion is exactly the same as the mark of all Khura'inist clergy bear.

"Ema Sky"

- Hey, you're right!

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- Hmm... Until about twenty-some-odd years ago, everyone did get one, didn't they? I myself bear one on my right buttoc--

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- That is entirely too much information, Your Magistry.

Turnabout Storyteller quotes
"Simon Blackquill"

- So, where are Wright-dono and Justice-dono?

"Athena Cykes"

- Mr. Wright is abroad, and Apollo is helping Trucy with her magic show. Didn't I tell you?

"Simon Blackquill"

- They're what? So neither one of them are here? ...Leaving you to take this on alone?

"Athena Cykes"

- Yup!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Ye gods... Call Wright-dono back. It's not too late.

"Athena Cykes"

- Oh, no, not too late at all! He would only need to know how to teleport.

"Geiru Toneido"

- Hello, everyone! I'm here to represent the Toneido School with a twisty, twist, twiiist! And BLOOOON! There you have it! A stunning balloon hat! It's me! The balloon artist you all know and love, Geeeiru Toneidooo! Just call me Geiru, sweetie! One, two... BLOOOON!

"Judge"

- Wh-What a way to capture your audience's attention! I daresay I can't take my eyes off those balloons!

"Athena Cykes"

- Plese tell me you're talking about the hat, Your Honor...

"Geiru Toneido"

- Oh Mister Judgey! I'm so glad you liked my performance! Would you consider joining my fan club? Pwetty pwease?

"Judge"

- Oh, Absolutely!

"Athena Cykes"

- And please save your fanboying for after the trial, Your Honor...

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- Ah, but the fires of hell will not be the end of your suffering. For the sin you have just committed, you shall surely be reborn as a panda in your next life. A white and black, reverse panda, that is. And you shall be put in a zoo, to be exposed to public ridicule.

"Athena Cykes"

- A threat like that won't work on Prosecutor Blackquill! After all, he's already used to looking like a panda in THIS life!

"Simon Blackquill"

- Who are you calling a panda?!

"Athena Cykes"

- S-Sorry!

"Athena Cykes"

- Uendo, I'm noticing something strange with these emotions.

"Uendo Toneido"

- "Some thin stranger with cheesy toe skin," you say?"

"Athena Cykes"

- No! "Something strange with these emotions!" How could you have heard "some thin stranger with cheese toe skin"?!

"Uendo Toneido"

- I don't know. Maybe it's me who's got some cheese in my ears...

"Athena Cykes"

- (Did he will the floor to open up and swallow his cushions out of shame for that bad joke?)

Turnabout Revolution quotes
"Dhurke Sahdmadhi"

- This littles lady's a real catch, son. I'm talking bride material, if you get my drift.

"Apollo Justice"

- Wait, what?

"Trucy Wright"

- Oh! Stop it! You're embarrassing me... Dad.

"Dhurke Sahdmadhi"

- Hah-ha ha ha ha ha. She's a plucky one, all right!

"Apollo Justice"

- Someone pluck me out of my misery...

"Dhurke Sahdmadhi"

- Hah-ha ha ha ha ha! C'mon, you're talking about a guy who honed his prowess against witnesses on the stand. Even a queen is no match for this dragon's glare!

"Athena Cykes"

- W-Wow, you're really something else.

"Apollo Justice"

- So was a verdict ever reached, Dhurke?

"Dhurke Sahdmadhi"

- I acted as my own attorney and won... Until I was accused of fabricating evidence, that is. Then it all went south.

"Apollo Justice"

- (...Now where have I heard a story like that before?)

"Apollo Justice"

- So the minister was armed, huh.

"Ema Skye"

- Mm-hm. That's a four-shot pistol. He had it for self-defense, apparently. But it won't be firing anything any time soon.

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh?

"Athena Cykes"

- He was carrying a broken gun around for show?

"Ema Skye"

- No, we recovered a bullet here. Which means the gun probably broke as the minister fired its last round. Thing is... the gun's chambers are empty. Yet, that one bullet is the only bullet we could find.

"Apollo Justice"

- That is strange. Where did the other three go?

"Athena Cykes"

- ...Maybe Dhurke ate them.

"Apollo Justice"

- We can ask the next time we see him. Just be ready for his predictably "shocking" answer.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Still at it, I see. I guess borders mean little in the face of your incurable habit.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Well, I heard you used to present evidence left and right during your investigations, too.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- That was a long time ago. ...Besides, who did you hear that from?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Oh, I have my sources.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Oh? Well, tell your "source" that I look forward to his next salary review.

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Insolent fool!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Oww!

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- That is a lie! A lie, I say! Father would have never done such a thing!

"Phoenix Wright"

- B-But he did abduct Maya. That much is--

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- I will not stand here and listen to this nonsense! You will pay for this, you... you...!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ow-Ow-Oww! P-Please, Your Benevolence!

"Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in"

- Dhurke had been an an extraodinarily talented lawyer, and highly esteemed by the people. But he falsified evidence in an attempt to win his own case.

"Phoenix Wright"

- I see...

"Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in"

- But when the truth of his fabrications and the assassination of the queen came to light, the people were devastated. And trust in the legal system plummeted.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- .........Now why does that sound so familiar?

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yeah, I wonder, aha-hah-hah...

"Phoenix Wright"

- Without lawyers, there's the possibility of false charges being filed and prosecuted.

"Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in"

- So long as our prosecutors continues to run nothing but perfect trials, there needn't be fear of such nefarious dealings. Do you disagree?

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Perfect prosecutors and their perfect trials, huh...)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Let's not get started down THIS path...

"Phoenix Wright"

- How about the date the Defense Culpability Act was enacted? Do you know when that was, Your Benevolence?

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Nayna! Nayna!

"Miles Egeworth"

- Your Benevolence... *whisper, whisper*...

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Yes, of course... I believe the date would be: June 14!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Really, Edgeworth? Is whispering in the ears of elites the secret to your success?)

"Shah'do"

- Ruff ruff ruff!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Nghoooooooooh!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Ahhh! Edgewooooorth...!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- .........I hope one of you has a good explanation for this.

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- Ahhhhhh! I'm SO sorry!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Hi, Ahlbi...

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- No, Shah'do! Bad dog! Leave the man's filly thingamajig alone!

"Shah'do"

- Grrrrrrrrr...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- If you would kindly detatch your dog from my cravat.

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- R-Right away, sir! Just hold still, and...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- And...?

"Shah'do"

- Grrrrrr...

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- Hrrrrrgh! Hrrrrrrrrrrgh!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Nghoooh! Stop pulling like that! You'll only stretch the fabric!

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- Come on, Shah'do...! Let go of his... crava-chamacallit!

"Shah'do"

- Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- Hmm... This isn't working., I'll just have to pull harder, then. One, two...

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Wait! What are you--?!

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- THREEEEEREEEEEEEEEE! RRRRRRRNNNNNNNNGH! .........Come OOOOOOOOOOOON!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- NNNNGHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGH! AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRR! I NEED AAAAAAIIIIIRRRRRRR! *huff... huff... huff...* Were you trying to kill me?!

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- I'm really sorry, mister. My dog has a habit of attacking frilly things like that.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Maybe for his sake, he should stick to more traditional targets, like cars, or his tail...)

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- That is utter... utter... hooey! You cannot continue to deceive the poeple like that!

"Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in"

- ...Rayfa. Justice is much more than simply speaking the truth.

"Apollo Justice"

- Is that Princess Rayfa and Queen Ga'ran over there?

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Y-You deceived me, too, Mother! How can I ever believe a word you say again?! You... You... nincompoop! .........Ah.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Your Benevolence... I, uh, couldn't help but overhear...

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Nnnnnnnnnnngh... You impudent--!!!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Oww!!!

"Apollo Justice"

- Are you okay, Mr. Wright? I can't believe she actually punched you...

"Phoenix Wright"

- ...Yeah, I'm used to it by now.

"Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in"

- Did you receive the Founder's Orb from Dhurke?

"Apollo Justice"

- ...Does it look like I did?

"Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in"

- ...So you like to play games, do you? Royal Guard!

"Royal Guard"

- Yes, Your Eminence!

"Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in"

- Search this devil, and his belongings!

"Apollo Justice"

- What?

"Royal Guard"

- At once, Your Eminence! Don't move!!! You're only making this haaaaaarder on yourseeelf!!!

"Apollo Justice"

- Yikes! Hey, cut it out! Argh! What the--?!

"Athena Cykes"

- Eeeeeek! Apollo! Don't strip here!

"Royal Guard"

- Stop resisting!!! Just submit to our strip search alreeeeeady!!!

"Apollo Justice"

- N-No, wait! Hey! Cut it out! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! .............. (Rest in pieces, my poor, tattered dignity.)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...Ah, you're back.

"Athena Cykes"

- Thanks for holding down the fort, Chief Prosecutor Edgeworth. Sorry it took so long. Hope you weren't too bored.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- ...I watched "The Plumed Punisher: Warrior of Neo Twilight Realm" while you were gone. And my verdict is... it's an outrage! Especially its theme song. Even worse, the people here believe it's an original, Khura'inese show. Can you believe it! I've already spoke about it at length with Mr. Are'bal here, and he...

"Apollo Justice"

- (I'm not sure what he's babbling about, but at least it seems he wasn't bored.)

"Athena Cykes"

- Way to go, Apollo!

"Maya Fey"

- I was on the edge of my seat when those guards stormed the courtroom.

"Apollo Justice"

- That was a shocker, all right. Can't imagine anything like that happening back home.

"Maya Fey"

- I know, right? I was ready to go on down there and teach them a lesson myself.

"Apollo Justice"

- R-Really?!

"Athena Cykes"

- I was barely able to hold her back.

"Maya Fey"

- Hold ME back?! YOU were about to go ballistic after a while there, Athena!

"Athena Cykes"

- Yeah, well... I was thinking about helping you smack a few to be honest.

"Apollo Justice"

- (Remind me to never say or do anything to deserve a Maya-Athena double suplex...)

"Maya Fey"

- You did it, Apollo. You finally won his seal of approval. But what about me, Nick? My channeling's come a long way, too. After all, I was deemed worthy enough to be used in two major crimes already!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Yeah, and two major chances for me to become someone for you to channel next.

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- Have you not given the autopsy report even a cursory glance, Mr. Justice?

"Apollo Justice"

- A-ha ha. It's just, I have fifteen clients on my plate right now, though I probably shouldn't have accepted all fifteen at the same time.

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- Oh please. Are you going to help me rebuild Khura'in's legal system or not? If you are, we need to move through this case backlog faster.

"Apollo Justice"

- Y-Yeah, I know, but...

"Nahyuta Sahdmadhi"

- Besides, those fifteen are only the beginning. There are ten more awaiting your services.

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh?

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- I, too, have friends and acquaintances seeking legal representation. And being that you are the only lawyer in the country, I told them to contact you. I estimate it will only add about sixteen clients to your caseload.

"Apollo Justice"

- Huh? Huh? N-Now wait just one minute!

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- I have been handing out advertisements for your new office. They read: "From legal advice to investigating extramarital affairs -- even yak milking! For a limited time only, these services and more are free down at Justice Law Offices!" I have already received requests from 380 new clients.

"Apollo Justice"

- ............... (I... I'm going to have to say something, aren't I?)

"Nahyuta Sahdmadi"

- .........Heh. I trust you did your "Chords of Steel" exercises this morning. Well, go on. There is no need to hold back.

"Judge (Khura'in)"

- Ha ha ha ha! Now that you mention it, we have yet to hear you shout today.

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- Yes, and I have grown quite drowsy from these tedious proceedings. I could use a loud something to wake me up. Do not disappoint me, Horn Head.

"Apollo Justice"

- There's really only one thing to say at a time like this... It's a word I've said countless times in my career, but I'll never tire of...

"Rayfa Padma Khura'in"

- You have little faith in our people, Mother. But it is the Royal Priestess's duty to always speak the truth. And as such, I cannot remain silent! I will not!

"Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in"

- Hah. The truth, you say? Your mind has been poisoned by the Barbed One.

"Phoenix Wright"

- It was an honor and a pleasure, Your Eminence.

Turnabout Time Traveler quotes
"Athena Cykes"

- Okay, lemme make sure I've got this straight. When your magic panties appear, I do a backflip into a handstand, then blow out the candle...?

"Trucy Wright"

- No, no, Athena, you've got it all wrong! You do a backflip through a ring of fire, while holding a candle in your mouth!

"Athena Cykes"

- Uh... There's no way I'll ever be able to do that.

"Trucy Wright"

- Sure you can! I believe in you, Athena!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Trucy, what are you and Athena up to?

"Trucy Wright"

- Athena's agreed to be a part-time performer in my magic show!

"Athena Cykes"

- I couldn't say no to some extra cash, but I probably should've throught it through first. Now it's "human cannonball this," "guillotine that"... It's not like I have nine lives, y'know!

"Phoenix Wright"

- You've made your bed, Athena. Now you've got to lie in it.

"Athena Cykes"

- Nooo... I'm too young to be taking out a life insurance policy already!

"Phoenix Wright"

- In all seriousness, Larry, are you really getting married?

"Larry Butz"

- Not right away, but that's the plan. We're gonna elope, see -- like, love on the run, I guess you could say! Isn't that right, Elly?

"Ellen Wyatt"

- ................................................Larry. I do believe there's been a major misunderstanding here. My heart already belongs to another.

"Larry Butz"

- Hm?

"Ellen Wyatt"

- I'm in love with Sorin... not you!

"Larry Butz"

- S-Say whuuuuuuuuuut?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (......That's about what I thought.)

"Phoenix Wright"

- I haven't seen you in ages. Where have you been all this time?

"Larry Butz"

- You mean you don't know? You've really gotta stop living under a rock and get out more. I'm the hippest, hottest picture book author in the business -- Laurice Deauxnim! I can't believe you didn't know that I'm taking the picture book world by storm!

"Trucy Wright"

- Oh! But I know you! You're the one who wrote "Franzy's Whippity-Whip Trip," right?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Now that you mention it, I think I did hear something about a one-hit wonder...

"Larry Butz"

- O-One-hit wonder?! What the heck, Nick!

"Larry Butz"

- Maya! I know this is sudden, but... please marry meeeeeee!

"Maya Fey"

- ............

"Maya Fey"

- N-Nick, what's Larry talking about?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- He was dumped by his bride. Well, by his imaginary bride, anyway.

"Maya Fey"

- ......Wow... Poor Larry. That's a new low, even for him. ......But, hey! Imaginary girlfriends never hurt anyone, right? More power to him!

"Maya Fey"

- Your attorney's badge looks so nice and shiny on your lapel! It's so cool -- like the mark of a true hero!

"Phoenix Wright"

- If I can be a hero to my clients, that's good enough for me.

"Maya Fey"

- In that case, I'll be the commander that controls the hero from behind the scenes!

"Phoenix Wright"

- Wait, are you saying you've been manipulating me all this time?

"Maya Fey"

- Go, RoboWright! To the crime scene!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (I guess that makes me a RoboLawyer...?)

"Maya Fey"

- Come to think of it, you used to be a pianist, right, Nick? So play something for me!

"Phoenix Wright"

- I'm not really good enough to play in front of other people...

"Maya Fey"

- ...Can I play, then?

"Phoenix Wright"

- No way! We'll get complaints from the hotel next door.

"Maya Fey"

- No fair! It's just a glorified shelf if nobody plays it, you know!

"Judge"

- Seeing so many familiar faces gathered together like this, I feel as though I'm at a grand reunion. It makes me want to go out for dinner and a drink, and reminisce with all of you.

"Maya Fey"

- Oh! That sounds like a great idea! I was dying for a real burger the whole time I was away!

"Phoenix Wright"

- We could make it a welcome back party for Maya. How about it, Edgeworth?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- .........I have no intention of cavorting with my enemies. Now then, Your Honor, let us start this trial at once.

"Judge"

- Ho ho. Still not one for lighthearted banter, are you, Mr. Edgeworth?

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hmph. Jokes and good humor are beyond worthless in a court of law.

"Maya Fey"

- Guess we'll just have to have the party without him, then.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- .........However, were it after the conclusion of this trial, I might consider joining you for your little welcome back party. I certainly wouldn't mind an invite, at the very least.

"Maya Fey"

- ...He's still as emotionally consipated as ever, I see.

"Phoenix Wright"

- Mr. Edgeworth! I haven't even cross-examined the witness yet! And quit picking on the clearly distraught!

"Maya Fey"

- Yeah! That's so not cool, Mr. Edgeworth!

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Hmph. A court is where we seek the truth. And the truth is unyielding, even to the truly pitiful.

"Judge"

- Mr. Edgeworth, I find it distasteful to make a lady cry.

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Nnngrrrrk...! Et tu, Your Honor...?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- To save the bride he loves, the groom risked his life and rushed to her side. Mr. Sprocket was able to make it to the vista deck despite the danger, because of the power of love!

"Judge"

- The power of love?......... Hmm... That love is a source of strength that can help one overcome any obstacle... I think I can relate, thanks to my own long, happy marriage.

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Wow. He actually seems to be buying it!)

"Miles Edgeworth"

- The "power of love," you say? That kind of illogical argument is hardly viable in a court of law! Wouldn't you agree, Your Honor?

"Judge"

- I'm afraid not, Mr. Edgeworth. You should never underestimate the power of love. You'll understand one day when you get marri--

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Which I won't!

"Judge"

- ..........

"Miles Edgeworth"

- Exactly what is so wrong with wishing to remain unwed?!

"Phoenix Wright"

- (Way to set him off, Your Honor...)

"Maya Fey"

- ...Nick, you can't make that kind of face in front of your client! The worst of times are when lawyers have to force their biggest smiles! Right?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ......Right! (I feel like I just saw Mia looking out at me through Maya's eyes!)

"Maya Fey"

- Wh-What's wrong, Nick? Why are you gaping at me like a giant sunfish?

Apollo Justice: Asinine Attorney quotes
"Klavier Gavin"

- Our defendant today is Princess Rayfa Padma Khura'in from the Kingdom of Khura'in. She has stated that she wants to extend her stay by one day to do some sightseeing. However, Khura'in's justice minister has the final say about her visit, and he says... nein! It seems the princess is needed back home ASAP to perform her courtroom duties.

"Judge"

- At first blush, this appears to be a case of a spoiled princess.

"Apollo Justice"

- ............

"Judge"

- ...Mr. Justice, you're uncharacteristically quiet today. Ordinarily, I'd expect you to say something along the lines of...

"Judge"

- And then insist that you had the right to cross-examine whoever was on the stand.

"Apollo Justice"

- Oh, no... It's just, she IS a spoiled princess in every sense of the word, so what can I say...? (Still, I should probably try to get some sort of testimony out of Princess Rayfa.)

"Judge"

- Hmm... Your interest in this place is clear, but as for where it is, well... Mr. Justice, did that testimony ring any bells with you?

"Apollo Justice"

- ...........No, I can't say that it did. (Yeesh, that explanation was even farther out there than I thought it'd be.)

"Judge"

- This trial started off with a bang, but it's fizzling out fast. You'd better do something NOW, Mr. Justice, before this festive atmosphere goes with it.

"Apollo Justice"

- (I'm a lawyer, not a party planner, you know.)
