Recipe for Turnabout - Transcript - Part 1



Judge:

That's enough! This court sees no reason to further prolong the trial. This case is extremely clear. I see no room for misinterpretation of the facts.

It wasn't me! I swear it wasn't me.

Judge:

The evidence and testimoney we have seen and heard are conclusive! The victim was alone at his table when he drank from that poisoned cup of coffee.

No! You're wrong! I know what I saw...! I saw... I saw...!

I saw someone else there! A man. He's the real killer!

Why won't anyone believe me?

Payne:

Well... I'd say that pretty much wraps this case up, wouldn't you... ...Mr. Wright!?

Judge: This court finds the defendant...

Guilty

Judge: This court is adjourned!

January 6, 10:03 AM Wright & Co. Law Offices

Maya:

Ahh! The start of the new year always makes me feel like I can take on the whole world!

Phoenix:

I bet it does, Maya.

Maya:

So! I've decided that our resolution should be... Zvarri! "Take on the world!" What do you think?

Phoenix:

Sure, whatever, Maya... But I think maybe you've had more than enough mistletoe cake.

Maya:

Never! You've got to eat a lot of cake during New Year's! It's practically a tradition! Like watching the fireworks on TV or playing a board Game.

???:

HEY, PAL!

Phoenix:

Detective Gumshoe...

Maya:

Happy New Year, Detective!

Gumshoe:

Uh... likewise... NOW LISTEN UP, WRIGHT! I WANNA...

Maya:

Here's to another fruitful year of lawyer-police cooperation!

Gumshoe:

Um... Yeah... Me too... ALRIGHT, PAL! YOU'VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO...

Maya:

Have you got a holiday present for me, Detective?

Gumshoe:

A what? Well I, um... Here, have this. It-It's really nothing much, but...

Maya:

Yay! Thanks!

Gumshoe:

LOOK, PAL, WE NEED TO HAVE A TALK. TAKE A SEAT!

Maya:

Hey! What about Pearly? You haven't forgotten her present, have you?

Gumshoe:

Ah... N-No... I mean, yes... I mean, no... Are you doing this on purpose?

Maya:

Ha ha, guess I'm busted. How did you like my first pratical joke of the year?

Gumshoe:

Very funny, pal. Now let's see how funny you think it is when I show you this!

Phoenix:

What is it? A magazine?

Maya:

Hey, I wanna see! "Deadly Poisoning Brings Guilty Verdict. Defense Attorney Wright Trounced ."

Phoenix:

Tr-Trounced!? Let me see that!

"The defense attorney gave an almost amateur performance yesterday..." What the heck is this!?

Gumshoe:

It's a report, pal. About you!

Maya:

Listen to this! "Mr. Wright must take full responsibility for the ruling in this case."

Gumshoe:

WELL!? And don't tell me you don't remember anything about it!

Phoenix:

But I don't remember anything about it! When was that issue from anyway?

Gumshoe:

Umm... December of last year, which I guess makes it last month.

Maya:

Which makes it old news, you mean.

Phoenix:

But I wasn't involved in a poisoning case in December!

Maya:

Hmm, so what do you think this is all about, Nick?

Gumshoe:

If it wasn't you, pal, then that leaves only one possibility...

Maya:

No way. You don't mean...

Phoenix:

A pho...

Maya:

A phony Nick!?

Phoenix:

(This must be Gumshoe's idea of a joke. Guss he's starting off the year with one, too...)

Magazine Clipping added to the Court Record.

Gumshoe:

SO! What are you gonna do about it, pal!?

Phoenix:

What do you mean, what am I going to do about it?

Maya:

Well, it's your fault that the judge found the defendant guilty in this case!

Phoenix:

My fault!? How do you figure that?

Maya:

Because THE Phoenix Wright is super famous now! Well, maybe only sort of...

Gumshoe:

Yeah. See what happens when you hotshots start getting too full of yourselves?

Phoenix:

(But I didn't do anything wrong! ...At least, not that I can remember...)

Gumshoe:

You better make this right, pal. Now! And that means taking the case back to court. Got it?

Maya:

Sounds like we've got our first case of the new year! Let's tackle it with gusto!

Phoenix:

I don't know... The judge already issued a guilty verdict once in this case. It's not going to be easy to get it overturned.

Maya:

... I guess that New Year's resolution is going to have to wait until next year.

Gumshoe:

So you're taking the case, right!? Good! I'm gonna head over to the courthouse then. After that, I'll go back to the precinct. Drop by if you need something, OK pal!?

Phoenix:

(I guess people are starting to know the name, "Phoenix Wright".) (If a client entrusted a case to me based on my reputation...) (I guess I am kind of responsible.) (But why would someone want to impersonate me?) (What sort of guy would do that?)
