Larry chuckled. "That's my best friend! We do this for the sake of our friend, Maya, for Nick! "
Maya nodded excitedly. "But, Larry……..we can’t rob a bank that big just two of us, we need help from others…….
Phoenix: Normally you don't excitedly nod before pointing out everything wrong with what someone just said.
Maya: *Nods Excitedly* Were you expecting more?
Phoenix: *Nods Excitedly* Not really.
Quote:
And we also have to plan carefully so as not to get caught. And don’t let Nick know about this, he would immediately kill me. "
Phoenix: IMMEDIATELY kill you. I wouldn't try to talk you out of it or anything first.
Edgeworth: You know exactly what the writer meant, Wright.
Phoenix: Sure, before the word “immediately” popped up and made it sound weird.
Quote:
"For that matter, I have think about it.
Maya: Does that mean he’s actually thinking of telling you!?
Phoenix: I would say no, but there’s not enough information, so all I can say is "probably not".
Maya: I hope he doesn't. The last thing I want to see is more “drama”.
Phoenix: Why were you so mad about that, by the way?
Maya: This thing keeps treating me like I’m still a little kid! I cry every two minutes! It’s really getting on my nerves!
Phoenix: To be fair, you do cry a lot in stressful situations like this.
Maya: Yeah, but not every two minutes! Pearly cries less than I do in this!
Quote:
Relax, Maya. You remember Ron DeLite, Nick’s former client? That he defended some months ago?" asked Larry, patting Maya’s shoulder.
Phoenix: Haven't I only been a lawyer for a little over a year in this? In that case, I haven't taken that case yet. No pun intended.
Maya: True, but maybe lung-cancer Nick already did!
Phoenix: But what’s the point in changing that, though?
Maya:... Uh... because now you're cut down while you're in your prime, so it's even sadder!
Phoenix: What, I'm not in my prime now?
Maya: No, you kind of are, but... this is unfair! You keep taking the side that I'm on!
Phoenix: You mean YOU keep trying to play devil's advocate.
Edgeworth: Credit where it’s due. Acquiring a famous thief to assist in the heist is a surprisingly sound decision.
Phoenix: Why are you actually into this?
Edgeworth: Pointing out when a story does something correctly doesn't mean I'm "into it", Wright. It means I'm being objective. You two are just upset because you don't like how you're portrayed.
Phoenix: Let's see you keep talking when we get to Germany.
Edgeworth: I'm more than aware of how quickly my mood will drop at that time.
Quote:
"The Mask DeMasque? Of course I remember him. That professional thief, right? "
"That's right. We will ask for his help, and I guess he won’t refuse to help us. Nick released him from prison. "
Maya: Ooh, that sounds like a threat.
Phoenix: I got you out, and I can put you back in, too, if you know what I’m sayin’.
Edgeworth: Please do not impersonate a member of the mafia again.
Maya: We’re gonna make this DeLite-ful man an offer he can't refuse, capisce?
Edgeworth: These are both terrible, terrible impressions.
Quote:
"You're right, Larry, Mr. DeLite also told us, anytime if Nick needed his help, he will be happy to help. "
"Then," said Larry, "Let's go to his house now. Do you remember his home address, Maya? "
Maya nodded with vigor. "I still have his name card in my wallet, hmm ..." Maya then opened her wallet and found a business card that Mr. DeLite gives to her some time ago. "Aha! This is it, Larry! This is his address! Let's go there now. "
Phoenix: Why would you keep that in your wallet?
Maya: Because they're good friends!
Phoenix: But they aren't.
Maya: Because we're stealing the artifacts from their home!
Phoenix: But we aren't.
Maya: Well, you can't say that for sure! AU, remember?
Quote:
Larry and Maya then went to Mr.DeLite house by taxi. At Mr. DeLite home, they were warmly welcomed by Mr. DeLite’s wife, Dessie.
"Mrs. Maya Fey!” said Mrs.DeLite, hugging Maya tightly and kissing her on both cheeks. "It’s very nice to meet you again! Please sit down, please sit down! "
Maya: I’m not married!
Phoenix: Maybe alternate you is.
Edgeworth: It annoys me that that is a valid excuse for any and all continuity errors.
Phoenix: Also, I don't think Ms. DeLite talks like this.
Edgeworth: Nobody talks like themselves, Wright. I’d stop expecting people to.
Quote:
"Sorry to bother you, Mrs. DeLite, but are your husband, Mr. DeLite in the house right now?
Edgeworth: I assume Mrs. DeLite already knows that Mr. DeLite is her husband.
Phoenix: Maybe alternate-universe Desiree has multiple husbands.
Edgeworth: Or not. Likely not.
Quote:
We need to talk to him……."said Maya as she sits in the living room.
"Of course, of course, Ronnie is here. Wait for a while, I’ll call him,"said Dessie then bolted to the 2nd floor. Shortly afterwards, Dessie appears again with Ron.
Phoenix: She “bolted”? Is it really that much of a rush?
Maya: Also, I thought the apartment only had one floor.
Edgeworth: It’s possible they moved since the last time you saw them.
Phoenix: Then how did the address on the card still take her there?
Edgeworth: *Penalty* Ngh! Alternate Universe, then, why not!? It's foolproof!
Quote:
"MAAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAAAA FEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!! LARRRRRRRRRRYYYYY BUUUUUUUTZZZZZZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICEEEEEEEE TOOOO MEEEEEET YOUUUUUUU AGAAAAAAIN! HOOOOOOOOWWWWW AREEEEEEE YOOOOOOOUUUU .. I HOOPEEEEE YOUUUUUU DOOOINGGG WEELLL! WHY MR.WRIGHT NOT COMING WITH YOU TOOOOOOOO ....... "Ron shouted loudly, hugging Maya so tightly until Maya feels all the bones in her body broken instantly. Dessie laughed at her husband's behavior.
Phoenix:... I think that deserves another Sawhit on it’s own.
Edgeworth: I take it Ron DeLite is nothing like what the writer claims?
Maya: Uh... maybe half like that?
Phoenix: No, not even close. Maybe, like, 5 percent like that, tops.
Quote:
"I'm sorry, Maya, Ronnie is never changed. Always like this. Ronnie dear, release Mrs. Fey now, let her breathe. "
Phoenix: I vehemently and wholeheartedly disagree that he is “always like this”.
Maya: Yeah! Ron was really awkward.
Phoenix: He’d be really quiet and then he’d shout when he realized people weren't paying any attention to him.
Edgeworth: I presume he doesn't just shout at random?
Maya: No! This is just slander!
Phoenix: DeLite should sue. I’ll represent him.
Quote:
Ron then releases his arms from Maya, and also sits.
"So, what’s up, Mrs. Fey? And where Mr. Wright? Why did he not come with you? I will be very glad to see him again!" said Ron.
Maya: What!? I’m not good enough for you by myself!?
Edgeworth: It’s a valid question, considering how glued you two seem to be to each other.
Maya: So!? Why does that make it okay to say something like that!?
Edgeworth: Er, uh… moving on.
Quote:
"Ah, I just realized, Mrs. Fey. Yes, why Mr. Wright did not come here too? Is he busy handling a big case again? "Asked Dessie.
Maya sighed deeply, and shook her head. "No, Mr. and Mrs. DeLite. Nick is sick. Very sick. And he’s being treated at the Central Hospital. "
Dessie frowned. "Sick, you say, Mrs. Fey? What’s Mr. Wright disease?!
Maya: That's what I was saying last time!
Phoenix: This is the scientific term for the illness, I see. "Nick disease" being the colloquial, of course.
Quote:
Why didn’t you immediately inform us ?? Ronnie dear, we should immediately visit Mr. Wright!"
Phoenix: Why is it Maya's responsibility to tell some client I took months ago that I'm sick?
Maya: Because apparently we're really close friends. Close enough friends to kiss but somehow not close enough friends for her to know I'm not married.
Phoenix: Or for you to know where she lives.
Maya: Or for me to know where she lives.
Quote:
"There is a tumor growing in his lung, Mr & Mrs. DeLite. The tumor had grown too large, and if left untreated, would have fatal consequences. That tumors could take one of Nick’s lungs.” replied Maya stammered, without knowing a single tear fell from her eyes.
Phoenix: Wait, they actually said it was fatal?
Maya: They didn't just say it would take a lung! Let's celebrate! Here's the other party popper!
Phoenix: Wait, no, Maya! Save it, please.
Maya: Aw, why?
Phoenix: Because I need time to prepare for when you actually go through with popping it again.
Quote:
Ron and Dessie covered their mouths with their hands, seemed very sympathetic. "Gosh, we really sorry to hear that, Mrs. Fey .... I never thought Mr. Wright will very sick like that ...... And there’s nothing Doctor can do?" asked Dessie while stroking Maya’s hands, trying to comfort her.
"There is one hope, Mrs. DeLite. Nick can be cured if he’s taken to Germany for surgery by a doctor named Miles Edgeworth. The problem is, Mrs. DeLite ............ The operating costs is very expensive. US $ 250,000, "sobbed Maya again.
Edgeworth: Certainly it wouldn't be exactly $250,000. My rates would be in German, no?
Phoenix: Maybe you get a bunch of American clients because America’s medical system is so bad they can't even cut out a tumor properly.
Quote:
"Oh, Mrs. Fey ............ I’m very sorry ......... But our financial condition is also being really limited. If our finances are not limited, of course, without thinking we'll give you the money. "Dessie replied sympathetically.
Larry then waved his hand impatiently. "We are here not to ask for money from you, Mr. and Mrs. DeLite. "
Dessie raised an eyebrow. "Then, if so, for what, Mr. Butz? "
"Me and Maya ......." Larry swallowed. "We plan to rob the bank where I work, Gavin Bank, Mr and Mrs. DeLite. "
Phoenix: Gavin Bank? That's a bad name.
Maya: Better than Wright and Co-
Phoenix: You came up with that name.
Maya: Oh, right. That makes it good, then!
Quote:
Silent for a moment. Dessie looked at Larry deep, apparently still doesn’t understand.
"And what to do with us, Mr. Butz, Mrs. Fey? "
"We want ...... ..we want Mr. DeLite help us to rob the bank. Gavin Bank is quite large and it’s impossible if only the two of us who rob the bank. Really, Mr. DeLite, we really need your help, remember you are very adept at stealing. "said Larry stammered.
Edgeworth: I appreciate the reminder, Larry. I'd nearly forgotten.
Phoenix: To be fair, I almost forgot when I met the guy in real life.
Maya: We took the case to begin with because we thought he didn't have it in him!
Quote:
"Mr. Butz, Mrs. Fey, I understand you are desperate to save Mr. Wright, but....I think this is not a good idea. Moreover, only a few months ago, my husband freed from prison because Mr.Wright ....... Don’t you feel if you get caught with my husband, all Mr. Wright’s effort will be useless? I'm sure Mr. Wright won’t be happy if he knows what you're doing, "Dessie said softly.
Unexpectedly, Maya’s tears then broke. She sobbed loudly.
"Mrs. DeLite, don’t you understand? Nick is the only family I have now. He is the most precious person in my life, just like Mr. DeLite very important to you! I can’t lose him, Mrs. DeLite, can’t! We've tried to talk to Mr. Gavin to borrow money from him, but he didn’t want to help Nick! Though Nick is his classmates when they was in high school! I beg you, Mr. and Mrs. DeLite. It’s about Nick’s life and death! Mrs. DeLite, just imagine if Nick is Mr. DeLite, how would you feel? "cried Maya, her face wet with tears.
Maya:...
Phoenix: Don't also start crying, please.
Maya:... Grr!
Phoenix: And you were actually excited for this, too. Well, uh… I assume this won't come up during the actual robbery, right?
Maya: I hope not!
Phoenix: Maybe alternate-universe you is extra prone to crying and giving long monologues about how alone she is to everyone she meets.
Maya: Well, she needs to get it together and take some responsibility! There's a bank to rob!
Phoenix: That’s better.
Quote:
Dessie was silent, and felt very sorry for Maya. "Well ...... it's up to you, Ronnie. I won’t stop you.”
Ron nodded firmly. "Calm down, Mrs. Fey! I will help you both. Mr. Wright helped me, and it's time for me to return the favor for him! "
Maya: I'm not married!
Phoenix: You're going to have to let that one go, Maya.
Quote:
Maya jumps excitedly from her chair and hugged Ron tightly. "Oh, thank you, thank you very much, Mr and Mrs. DeLite! "
"Well," said Ron when Maya had removed her arms from Ron. "We must arrange plans from now. Mrs. Fey, are the doctors give deadlines when Mr. Wright should be brought to Germany for surgery? "
Maya shook her head. "The doctor just told me, the sooner the better, but he didn’t say exactly when Nick had to be operated. But if it’s delayed too long, the tumor will grow bigger in his lungs. "
Edgeworth: I would think that would go without saying.
Maya: Maybe alternate universe cancer works differently, so they had to explain!
Phoenix: Yeah, maybe lung cancer doesn't normally get bigger in Theif-AU or something.
Edgeworth: What reason could they possibly have to change that?
Quote:
Phoenix: I don't know, what reason could they have had to only make me a lawyer for a year and a half?
"Okay. Then, as soon as possible, we have to rob the bank. Mr. Butz, you say you work in that bank? "asked Ron, glanced at Larry. Larry nodded slowly.
"Then, I want you to photograph all the details of the bank building. The more, the better. "Ron command to Larry.
"Ready, Commander!" said Larry with spirit.
Phoenix: Was the "commander" thing a joke, or...
Edgeworth: It was almost certainly a joke.
Maya: Are you sure?
Edgeworth: Uh... On second thought, perhaps not.
Quote:
"Oh yes, I nearly forgot. Which bank account that we will rob? Did you guys already think of it? "Ron asked again.
"We are ......" Maya was about to answer, but Larry cut quickly.
"Already, Mr. DeLite. We're going to rob a bank account belonging to Mr. Gavin, "said Larry.
Maya: Hey, don't cut me off, Larry!
Phoenix: Why did he even do that?
Edgeworth: Perhaps he’s looking for attention, as usual.
Quote:
"Your boss? Are you sure, Mr. Butz? You can immediately lose your job if he caught you rob his bank account ...... .. "said Dessie. Larry nodded with vigor.
Edgeworth: And I suppose the fines, arrest, and damaged connections aren't relevant to the discussion?
Phoenix: That does put things in perspective, doesn't it?
Edgeworth: Really, now.
Quote:
"100% sure, Mrs. DeLite. I don’t care. The important thing is Nick can be cured. Besides, I wanted to give him a lesson. That man very arrogant when we come to his office to borrow money. "
Phoenix: Something's been bothering me. Why is there a space between the end of the line and the quotation mark?
Maya: I think you already know the answer to that, Nick.
Edgeworth: Because the writer doesn't understand En-
Phoenix: To distance the reader from the tear-jerking drama unfolding before us.
Maya: Exactly!
Edgeworth: Wait, are you quite serious?
Quote:
"Good. Now, you two have to take the photographs of the bank building as detailed as possible and, Mr. Butz, you have to investigate exactly where Mr. Gavin keeps his money and what kind of security he use. Once completed, give it all to me. "said Ron again.
Edgeworth: Certainly he would already know those things.
Phoenix: Maybe he only works in some weird corner of the building.
Edgeworth: Was that mentioned at some point? I fear I may have spaced out for a bit of this.
Phoenix: Not that I can remember.
Edgeworth: Oh, excellent.
Quote:
"Okey, plan is already prepared. Dessie dear, do you want to visit Mr. Wright? "asked Ron to Dessie.
"Sure, Ronnie. You don’t mind that, if we come with you to the hospital? "
"Of course not, Mr. and Mrs. DeLite! "Maya chuckled.
Dessie smiles. "All right, I'll change clothes and get ready first. I want to see my room first, is there anything we can bring for Mr. Wright………"Then she stepped into her room.
10 minutes later, Dessie came out with a big bouquet of tulips and a tart cake.
Phoenix: Why was she keeping that in her room?
Maya: In case you got lung cancer.
Quote:
"Let's go now," muttered Dessie. Four of them then walked to Ron’s car, and went to the Central Hospital.
Arriving at Central Hospital ...... ..
Phoenix still lying in bed with clutch his chest. He felt very shortness of breath, and his chest ached, like being punched repeatedly by an invisible hand. Even to sit, he can’t.
Phoenix: Even to sit, I can't what?
Maya: Get punched by an invisible hand?
Edgeworth:... Normally, I can at least infer the intent of a sentence, but I am completely lost this time.
Phoenix: Right?
Quote:
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in," said Phoenix limp, felt wonder why he can still talk with all the unbearable pain in his chest.
Edgeworth: Oh, yippee. Head jumping. My favorite.
Maya: Something tells me it isn't actually your favorite.
Edgeworth: No, of course it is. Don't be ridiculous. Who wouldn't love changing from the perspective we've been in all this time for a needless observation?
Quote:
Maya, Larry, Mr. and Mrs. DeLite stepped inside.
"Hello, Nick ...... ..you had a visitor!" Maya said brightly.
"Mr and Mrs. DeLite? How are you?” said Phoenix enthusiastic, tried to get up to hug his former client, but it just made his chest feel pain twice.
Phoenix: Dumbass. Oops! Sorry! Sorry! Slipped out!
Edgeworth: Is it starting to get to you, Wright?
Phoenix: Uh... I don't know, maybe.
Edgeworth: You're the lucky one of the two, Wright. Your character is only idiotic for 5 minutes at a time.
Quote:
"Ow." groaned Phoenix, then back clutching his chest. "I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. DeLite, I greet you in this way. "
"It's okay, Mr. Wright, just lie back, "said Dessie.
"Sorry, we could only bring this for you, Mr. Wright. We wish you a speedy recovery, "said Ron, placing a bouquet of flowers and a cake Dessie brought to the table next to Phoenix bed.
"Thank you very much, Mr and Mrs. DeLite. You don’t need to bother, "murmured Phoenix.
"Hey, bud, why only two of them who you greet, and you didn’t even say hi to your best friend since elementary school? Am I just a pile of black shadow for you, Nicky-boy? "exclaimed Larry upset, frowning. They all laughed.
Phoenix: N-"Nicky-boy"?
Maya: That's Ms. DeLite's nickname for you, right?
Phoenix: I think so. I appreciate the consistency, but I don't want Larry calling me "Nicky-boy" now!
Maya: Should I start calling you that too?
Phoenix: I don't think I could handle being called "Nicky-boy" all day.
Maya: What about only in private?
Phoenix: No, in private is supposed to be the break from all the annoying things, please don't.
Quote:
"Sorry Larry, I don’t see you. Thank you for wasting your time to see me, Larry, "Phoenix mumbled, his voice sounded very weak.
Phoenix: Okay, there's stubborness, and then there's self-esteem issues. "Thanks for wasting your time to see me"? For real?
Edgeworth: This is probably the most productive thing Larry has ever done with his time, actually.
Phoenix: I... I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one.
Quote:
"How are you, Nick? How about your chest, does it still hurt? "asked Maya anxious. Phoenix smiled weakly.
"The pain comes and goes, Maya."
Maya stroking Phoenix forefinger, refrain from crying again.
Phoenix: Say it with me, three-
Edgeworth: Stop.
Maya: What's a forefinger?
Phoenix: A pointer finger.
Maya: Would stroking that even feel good?
Phoenix: I dunno. Here, how's this? *Strokes Maya's forefinger*
Maya: Uh... I mean, not really. It's just kinda weird. That might just be because you're doing it like we're trying to co-shun someone, though.
Phoenix: Well, fine, I guess I'll stop, if you're gonna be so picky. *Stops*
Edgeworth: I thought you were just about to complain about "Ship-bait".
Phoenix: Wait, that's what you got from that!?
Quote:
She also doesn’t understand why she always felt like crying every time Phoenix complains of his pain. So she was relieved when Phoenix talks again.
Maya: So alt-me doesn't know why I'm a crybaby in this either?
Phoenix: I mean, they spelled out why in pretty concrete terms back there. Like, five times.
Maya: I'll show them all, you'll see!
Quote:
"From where both of you hear that I’m sick and were treated here, Mr and Mrs. DeLite? "asked Phoenix.
"Oh, Mrs. Fey and Mr. Butz came to visit our home and tell about your situation, Mr. Wright. So we decided to see you. "answer Dessie.
Phoenix raised his eyebrows and looked at Maya and Larry interchangeably with astonishment.
Phoenix: Oh, for g- they all came to the room together! Of course that's how they found out!
Maya: Well... uh... maybe you're confused because that was a weird person to tell?
Phoenix: Wait, you think? Oh, that would make sense.
Quote:
"Is there anything you guys need to come to Mr. and Mrs. DeLite home? "
Phoenix: Okay... so... that might be a confirmation of what you just said, but I think I need a translator first.
Edgeworth: I believe you are asking the reason they went to their home.
Maya: Oh, I was right!? Yes!
Phoenix: You can do the party popper now, if you want.
Maya: Yes! *Pop*
Quote:
Maya and Larry tried to not look at each other. "There was Mr.DeLite stuff left in my bag and I just realized. So I decided to go to Mr. and Mrs.DeLite home to restore it. "
"Oh, sorry, then Mr. DeLite. Maya has been sometimes very clumsy, "said Phoenix, and laughed weakly.
Maya: Hey! Don't be rude!
Phoenix: I have been weirdly negative in this, haven't I? Must be the tumors.
Quote:
"It's okay, Mr. Wright. Humans often make mistakes, and it’s natural. "Ron replied.
Edgeworth: Urgh, this dialogue is terrible.
Maya: Let's try to fix the lines when they come up!
Phoenix: Well, Edgeworth?
Edgeworth: I'm not enthralled by the concept. Show me first.
Maya: Okay, that "humans make mistakes" part has to go. Now what?
Phoenix: Just leave it as is, or... maybe replace the sentence you took out with an "I don't mind" or something. Easy fix.
Edgeworth: Does this really sound like quality entertainment to the two of you?
Maya: C'mon, give it a chance! Please?
Edgeworth: Very well. Show me how much more fun this is than simply reading the text.
Quote:
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in," said Phoenix tired. Dr. Joaquin stepped inside.
"Oh, you have a lot of visitors today, Phoenix? To introduce myself, I'm Dr. Joaquin Ortega, doctor who handle Phoenix, "says Dr. Joaquin and shook hands with Ron and Dessie.
Maya: Hm... any ideas, Nick?
Phoenix: I don't think I've got enough of a read on this guy to know how he would act, so I guess we'll leave his stuff alone.
Maya: Should we do anything about the grammar?
Edgeworth: Please refrain. I would still like to leave at some point today.
Quote:
"Hello, Dr. Joaquin, I’m Dessie and this is my husband, Ron DeLite. We are Mr.Wright’s former client, Phoenix made a large contribution to free my husband from prison a few months ago, "said Dessie while welcoming Dr. Joaquin’s hands.
Phoenix: We can fix this though, thank goodness.
Maya: Okay, uh... any ideas?
Phoenix: "Hi, Doctor! I'm Desiree DeLite and this is Ronnie. Mr. Wright was Ronnie's attorney a few months back."
Maya: Oooh, that's good! Let's do more!
Edgeworth:...
Quote:
"Larry!" exclaimed Dr. Joaquin after finished shaking hands with Ron and Dessie. "Nice to see you again, boy! How are you? "Dr. Joaquin hugged Larry and patted his back.
"I’m very well, Dr. Joaquin. It’s been a long time since our last meeting! I'm also glad we can meet again, "said Larry chuckled.
Phoenix: Larry's talking weird again.
Maya: Okay... "Woah," uh... "Joey"? How's Joey?
Phoenix: Joey's good.
Maya: How about "Woah, Joey!? It's been ages!"?
Phoenix: Yep, easy fix. It's not even really hard. That's the sad thing.
Edgeworth: Are you sure you want to continue doing this?
Phoenix: We didn't sell you?
Edgeworth: That felt closer to an attack ad on the concept.
Phoenix: Ouch. Okay, I guess we won't do it, then.
Maya: Can we still do it for really bad ones?
Edgeworth: Very well. Do what you will.
Quote:
"I heard you are now working in a bank?"
Larry nodded. "Yes, Dr. Joaquin. "
Dr. Joaquin chuckled. "Nice. Glad to hear now you’re more serious with your future. And, Phoenix, how do you feel, son? Does your chest still hurt? "asked Dr. Joaquin as he approached Phoenix bed.
"The pain comes and goes, Doctor," murmured Phoenix.
"Then I'll inject your chest…. Again. How many times I have injected you today, son? I'd forgotten. "
Maya: Ew. Chest injections sound painful.
Phoenix: When I was in the hospital after the bridge thing, I got a few of those. They weren't actually all that bad. Not much worse than the usual arm
stuff.
Maya: Ew. Arm injections sound painful.
Phoenix: Have you never gotten an injection?
Maya: Nope!
Phoenix: You probably should at least get a flu vaccine or something. I'll go talk to a doctor when we get out of here.
Quote:
"10 times, Dr. Joaquin." Phoenix replied.
"By doing so, this means that this is 11th injecton, am I correct, Phoenix?
Phoenix: Dang, those were some mathematics. I like how he had to make sure he was right.
Maya: "One plus ten is eleven, am I correct, Phoenix?"
Quote:
You can make the football teams of my injection now,"
Edgeworth: Ugh.
Phoenix: What's the matter?
Edgeworth: That was a joke?
Phoenix:... I think? Ugh.
Quote:
He chuckled, then he re-issued injectable drugs from his doctor coat pocket. Dr. Joaquin then unbuttoned Phoenix hospital shirt and injected Phoenix chest.
"Ow! Owwwwwww !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Owwwwwwww !!!!!!!!!" shouted Phoenix.
Phoenix: Okay, it was not that bad the last time.
Edgeworth: It could mean the cancer is spreading rapidly, causing an increase in pain.
Maya: Yeah, soon it might take a lung.
Quote:
Larry, Maya, Ron and Dessie wince and grimace. Maya hiding behind Larry's arm, not able to see Phoenix chest injected.
"Okay ......... finished."
"It hurts, Doctor." moaned Phoenix, his eyes watering.
Edgeworth: I see your observational skills are as astute as ever.
Maya: You're a regular Sherlock Holmes!
Phoenix: You're one to talk, Rocky Lockridge.
Maya: Who's that?
Phoenix: The guy who cried really weirdly on Intervention.
Maya: Oh, I get it now!... Hey! Am not!
Quote:
Dr. Joaquin smiled resignedly. "Well, if you're not stubborn from the first, boy, you don’t need to lie here and your chest doesn’t need to be injected almost every hour. Well, I want to ask all of you, because all of you are Phoenix friends ......... Take good care of him, ok? Don’t let him do anything stupid ...... .. And you should really pay more attention to your health, understand, stubborn boy? "Dr. Joaquin chuckled again, patting Phoenix head gently, and he stepped outside.
Phoenix: Damn. Chill out, man. I didn't come to the doctor to get insulted like this. Or... pet on the head.
Maya: Well, maybe you should stop being a stubborn boy.
Phoenix:...
Quote:
Maya then sat beside Phoenix bed, and massaged his chest gently. Maya’s massage seems sufficient to alleviate pain in his chest, so he fell asleep.
Phoenix: This guy is really going all out with the touching, huh?
Maya: I really wish they wouldn't.
Phoenix: I mean, the setup doesn't work without the intimate relationship, though, does it?
Maya: Just give me another reason to go steal stuff! I like that part!
Quote:
"Well ...... .because Mr. Wright had gone to bed ......... it's time to go home, "whispered Ron.
"Correct. Come on, Ronnie, we go home, we should not bother Mr. Wright, "said Dessie agreed.
They both then got up and walked out of Phoenix room escorted by Larry.
"You know, Mr. Butz, at first I thought Mrs. Fey just exaggerating about Mr. Wright’s condition ...... but saw him like that ......... I can’t bear to see it. His chest must injected almost every hour… I understand why Mrs. Fey was so desperate to save Mr. Wright,” said Dessie, now sobbing and wiping her eyes with a tissue.
Phoenix: Look, see? Everyone's a crybaby in this. There's nothing to be angry about.
Maya: Talk to me when she cries six times in one chapter.
Quote:
"Don’t worry, Dessie, I, Mrs. Fey, Mr. Butz and will end Mr. Wright’s suffering.
Phoenix: Who is Ron talking to right now?
Edgeworth: I would say the group, but the word "we" comes to mind and I don't see it anywhere.
Maya: Maybe it's Dessie?
Phoenix: Oh, maybe. Maybe.
Quote:
Mr. Butz, remember our plan. Let me know as soon as possible, ok? See you later, "said Ron, patting Larry’s back, and he with Dessie headed to the hospital exit door.
The next day………
Larry along with Maya left the hospital early in the morning, when Phoenix was still asleep. They went to Gavin Bank with tense heart and anxious, afraid that if their actions caught. Larry brings a very small pocket camera that is virtually invisible to escape detection.
Edgeworth:... Banks have metal detectors, Larry.
Maya: Well, you know how it is! More "idiot suggestions" from the Butz! Is anyone surprised?
Phoenix and Edgeworth (In Unison): Not me.
Quote:
They went into a bank with hand in hand, looking very nervous. Almost all the employees greet Larry.
"Morning, Mr. Butz, who is this lovely lady? Is this your 45th girlfriend?"
"Good taste as always, Larry!" says another employee, holding up his thumb.
Maya: Ew. And a thumbs up, too? That's gross.
Phoenix: Geez, what a pervy dude. She's only been in there for, like, 5 seconds.
Edgeworth: Well, they do seem to idolize Larry. It would be a greater shock if his coworkers didn't behave this way.
Quote:
Larry chuckled and shook his head vigorously. "No, no, she is an old friend."
Then Larry drags Maya’s arms a little bit, took her away from the sight of the employees.
Maya: Why do people keep grabbing onto me?
Phoenix: Because you have the mental capacity of a four-year-old in this, remember?
Maya: I feel like I'm a pet dog or something.
Quote:
"Well, Maya, please take photos of this bank building as much as possible. If anyone sees you take a photo, just say this for a school project, because you're still in high school.
Maya: Thanks for the reminder.
Phoenix: Would you do well in school?
Maya: I think I'd be great at school!
All:...
Maya: I don't want to go, though.
Phoenix: I figured that was coming.
Quote:
"Larry whispered in Maya’s ear, handing his pocket camera into Maya’s hands.
"Bb-but, Larry, you can’t leave me alone here! I'd look like a fool! "Maya protested.
Phoenix: So desperate, this search for money, but heaven forbid Maya embarrass herself
in public?
Maya: Wouldn't the problem be all the guards watching me take pictures of the bank for no reason? They'd get suspicious, right?
Edgeworth: Yes.
Quote:
Larry sighed. "We must divide the tasks, Maya. I have to investigate where Mr. Gavin keeps his money and again, I must be in my office. Relax, I will call you if everything is done. "
"Oh, all right, Larry, all right."
"Good luck, Maya." Larry patted Maya’s back and leaves Maya.
Maya swallowed, with awkwardly she pulls out Larry’s pocket camera and start taking a photo. She walked from corner to corner, and it isn’t hard to do, because the employees seemed very busy so no one pay attention to Maya.
Edgeworth: Or, no. The answer is no.
Maya: Now you look like a fool! You can't take pictures of the bank anymore!
Quote:
In Larry’s place…
Larry tiptoe, walked to his office, then take the Steel Samurai costume which he kept in his locker. Larry hurriedly dressed it, then crept toward to Kristoph’s office.
Phoenix: Why does Larry keep a Steel Samurai costume in his locker?
Maya: I bet it's to impress women!
Phoenix: Is the Steel Samurai really the right hero for the job?
Maya: Chicks dig the Steel Samurai!
Phoenix: No, YOU dig the Steel Samurai, Maya.
Maya: What!? I don't get to be a chick!?
Phoenix: Do you want to be?
Maya:... No...! But... but......................!
Phoenix: Take your time. Work it out at your own pace.
Quote:
He managed to stand in front of Kristoph’s office without anyone watching, fortunately. Carefully, Larry hides under a table located in front of Kristoph’s office door, and put his ear well, hoping to hear a clue where Kristoph keep his money.
His heart sank when he heard Phoenix name is mentioned. Looks like Kristoph is talking to someone.
Edgeworth: Certainly a relevant conversation would pique his interest rather than make his "heart sink".
Phoenix: I'm 95% sure that the author would have said that if they knew how.
Edgeworth: I'm equally confident this person does not speak English natively.
Phoenix: Hold on, I'll check the account for any Spanish or anything... Nothing. All English.
Edgeworth: It's almost a certainty, Wright. These are all non-native mistakes.
Phoenix: Wait! The profile says they're Indonesian!
Edgeworth: Hm. I weep for Indonesia's foreign language courses.
Phoenix: Oh. It also says that they dislike people mocking other people's work. Whoops. Guess this is staying a secret.
Maya: Okay, I've got it! I'm fine being a chick, but only if you're saying it in a nice way!
Edgeworth:... Congratulations.
Quote:
"So, you say, Wright’s assistant and childhood friend come to your office to borrow money from you?" Larry can hear the other man’s deep voice.
Phoenix: So this Kristoph guy is just going around gossiping to people about this?
Maya: I hope he's not going around talking about me!
Quote:
"Yes. Shameless, they are, right? She said for Wright operating costs. They think I want to help Wright because we went to school together in high school. Seriously. The world would collapse if I helped Wright. Especially after what he did to me in high school ......... "
Phoenix: Oh, backstory I don't know about, that's always good.
Edgeworth: Unless their finger is hovering over a nuclear detonator, having a collected character say something like "The world would collapse if I did this thing" is breaking character.
Quote:
"Kristoph, I don’t understand why you hold a grudge so deep to Wright. I think you've forgotten that old grudges…. It wasn’t his fault Kristina commit a suicide!”
Edgeworth:... Kristina... C-c-c... "commit a suicide"?
Maya: I thought you said you weren't making fun of the grammar anymore.
Edgeworth: I'm trying... very hard not to, Ms. Fey.
Quote:
"Klavier! If Wright didn’t break up his relationship with Kristina, she was not going to be very desperate and suicidal! Don’t you feel lost her, too? She is your sister too, Klavier!” Kristoph hit a table audible.
"Yes, of course I lose her too, Kristoph..but.. but don’t you remember, why Wright decided to break up with Kristina ?? She betrayed Wright, Kristoph! Kristina having affair behind Wright’s back! I can understand how Wright’s feel at that time!”
Phoenix: So... wait, how could this conceivably be my fault?
Edgeworth: Plot contrivance. It is that simple.
Quote:
"Don’t you dare to talk about Kristina as if she was a loose woman!" exclaimed Kristoph again. Then creepy laughter of Kristoph audible. "I hope Wright will die soon. It’s impossible his stupid assistant and childhood friend can get money of US $ 250,000 in a heartbeat. Oh, I can’t wait to see Wright's cries of pain when that malignant tumor takes one of his lungs ......."
Phoenix: This is why you need to just go take out a loan at a different bank. He's clearly biased!
Maya: But we need to teach him a lesson, or... something like that!
Phoenix: He looks pretty mentally scarred over the suicide, though. Why push it?
Edgeworth: Again, Wright, you are operating on the false assumption that this a well-written piece.
Quote:
continued Kristoph again with creepy tone, made Larry chills.
Edgeworth: *To "Oh my darling, Clementine"*
Oh subtlety, oh subtlety, oh subtlety, don't leave now!
Of you, this passage is lacking, and it brings sweat to my brow!
Maya: Hey, that was good!
Edgeworth: What was good?
Maya: The singing!
Edgeworth: I was singing!? My apologies, I must have spaced out from rage for a moment there.
Quote:
"Kristoph! Gosh, I had no idea at all you could think that bad! Herr Wright is a nice guy ....... "
"This conversation is over, Klavier. Alright? I don’t want to talk about Wright again. "
Phoenix: But you're the one who brought it up, Kristoph. He wouldn't know about it if you didn't say anything so you're clearly the one who brought it up, Kristoph. Why would you bring it up if you didn't want to talk about it, Kristoph? Kristoph? Kristoph!?
Maya: Don't break down and die, Nick, I'll be left all alone, you're the only family I have left, Nick, waah.
Edgeworth: Somehow, you two may be more frustrated than I normally am at these things.
Quote:
There was a pause, then Klavier re-open the conversation.
Maya: He doesn't walk to talk about it anymore, Klavier! Respect his privacy!
Phoenix: Is he changing the topic, or...?
Maya: I hope so. Bringing it back up would be rude.
Phoenix: So is letting someone die of a tumor for something he wasn't responsible for.
Quote:
Larry withstands a deep breath. So that's why Mr. Gavin refused to help Nick? But Nick was betrayed, that woman having an affair behind his back, Nick isn’t wrong in this case! What a devil are you, Mr. Gavin ... think Larry growled.
Phoenix: I mean, he's pretty clearly got some mental health issues over the thing. Devil might be a little harsh.
Edgeworth: A tragic villain. A wonderfully compelling character when the person doesn't react completely illogically in response to the tragedy.
Quote:
"Anyway, I bring surrogate fee from Mr. Raymond Skeyne. In here, in this three bags. Do you want me to left it here or put it in your safe deposit box?”
Phoenix: Why did he have to say his full name like that?
Edgeworth: Because knowing the full name will be relevant in the future, so someone had to hear it now.
Phoenix: Oh, hey, Maya, could you check if Raymond Skeyne is a real person like the last guy?
Maya: Uh... nope.
Phoenix: Anybody get the pun?
Maya: Uh... Ray mund-skene. Skeyne. Monskene, Monkey, um, Money, Ray of money? Uh... Money Scheme?
Phoenix: Okay, jury's out, then.
Maya: Monkey Money... Money the Monkey... Monkey Scheme... Ray Gun Scheme... Uh...
Quote:
Speak of the devil, thought Larry satisfied.
"Put it in my safe deposit box. There on the 5th floor. The key word: Gavinners. "
Phoenix: Why does the guy's brother not know the password?
Maya: Why would he?
Phoenix: Why would he not know the password?
Maya: No, why would he know the password?
Phoenix: Oh, why wouldn't he not know the password?
Maya: Yeah! Why wouldn't he not know the password!?... My head hurts.
Phoenix:... Okay, I'm lost.
Maya: Let's talk about something else.
Quote:
Larry refrains from cheering triumphantly.
"OK. I'll see you later, Kristoph.”
"Oh yes, Klavier, be careful with the security. If you're not careful and wake him up, you could become a delicious meat.”
Larry frowned, trying to understand what’s Kristoph said. Ugh .......what does he means with ‘become delicious meat?’ Hopefully the security is not something that is dangerous .... Thought Larry.
Phoenix:... It's pretty obvious it's going to be a lion or something. Something that eats people.
Edgeworth: How is Gavin himself supposed to get in if the animal indiscriminately eats people?
Phoenix: Pretty easy question. He isn't supposed to. He doesn't have to for this story.
Quote:
Klavier chuckled. "I'll remember, thank you very much." Then he opened the door and headed out. Larry pressed his body under a table over in order Klavier not to see him. For a while, Larry froze under the table. After making sure that the situation is safe, Larry then out from under the table with very carefully, and then he took off his Steel Samurai costume and folded it.
Maya: Aw, he wasted it!
Phoenix: Why did he even put it on in the first place if he was just going to hide anyway?
Maya: I told you! To impress women!
Phoenix: To impress you.
Maya: Hey! Rude!
Quote:
Thus, Kristoph’s safe deposit box is on the 5th floor. Okey ...... .. What to do is simply take the elevator to the 5th floor, and use Gavinners password. But I need to know what kind of that safe deposit box security…
Larry had been just about to step to the fifth floor when he was canceling his intention. It’s not safe if I lurk now .... Very risky ... Better tomorrow afternoon just when most employees had gone home ...
He then pulls out his cell phone to call Maya.
"Maya, is your job finished? My duty is over."
"Yes, Larry. It turns out not difficult.” answered Maya.
Maya: I don't deserve to be on this mission.
Phoenix: Why not?
Maya: Because I thought standing in a bank and taking pictures was going to be hard.
Phoenix: Maybe instead we should just take out a loan at any other bank in the world.
Quote:
"OK. We meet approximately 10 minutes in the lobby, ok? "
"Okay, Larry, I'm waiting."
Larry then hung up, and headed back to his office to put the Steel Samurai costume back to his locker. After that, with haste he went down to the lobby to meet Maya.
Phoenix: It took ten minutes to do just that?
Edgeworth: Larry needs a ten-minute margin for error, Wright. You should know that by now.
Quote:
"How many photos have you take, Maya?" whispered Larry when he was in the lobby.
"Approximately 200, Larry," replied Maya satisfied.
Maya: That's a lot of photos!
Phoenix: I'm picturing you spinning around in circles and mashing the camera button three times a second.
Maya: I probably was!
Quote:
"Good, Maya. Well, now we must headed to Mr. DeLite house."
They both then exit in silence from Gavin Bank, so Larry does not get caught running away from his working hours. After a successful exit from the bank area, Larry calls a cab and they both went to Ron’s home.
"YOUU'REEEEEEEEE GREAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT," said Ron when Maya showed all the photographs of the bank building detail.
Phoenix: He doesn't just scream for no reason!
Maya: That hurt my ears and it was text.
Edgeworth: I would attribute that to Wright’s shouting, Ms. Fey.
Phoenix: Oh, uh… sorry about that.
Quote:
"And I managed to get information about Mr. Gavin safe deposit box, Mr. DeLite. The safe deposit box is on the 5th floor, the key word is Gavinners. But there are another security of that safe deposit box. I heard Kristoph said 'If you're not careful and wake him up, you could become a delicious meat.’ I don’t understand what he meant by that. "said Larry.
Phoenix: Oooh, that's a real stumper, that tough riddle.
Edgeworth: Larry not catching on to something that simple is exactly the kind of thing he'd do.
Quote:
Ron thought for a moment. "Uhm ......... ..maybe the security is a living thing."
"Oh," murmured Maya. "I hope not ...... not the beast and something dangerous."
Phoenix: Real stumper. Real toughie. What could the answer be? Find out next time.
Maya: I wish you didn't have cancer so you had to watch yourself act stupid, too.
Phoenix: That's the only reason why?
Quote:
"We think that issue later, Mrs. Fey. Okay, now we are divided for the task. Mrs. Fey, on the day we rob the bank, you have to distract the employees, so Larry and I could enter freely. Larry and I are going to get into Mr. Gavin’s room where he keeps his safe deposit box.”
Maya swallowed. "Good. But how can I divert the attention of the employees? "
"Up to you. You can put a rat, put a rubber snake, you sing, or whatever that can distract the employees. "Ron replied simply.
Maya: I could come up with a way better idea than that!
Phoenix: What would you do?
Maya: Fireworks! Or... the Steel Samurai does a live show for everyone! Or I could tell everyone to look for Gourdy, or maybe I can run up to someone screaming so they panic or point their gun at me and I can get everyone to yell at them!
Phoenix: A lot of those sound really dangerous.
Maya: And a lot of them sound fun!
Phoenix: Whatever floats your Samurai Balloon.
Edgeworth: Air.
Maya: Huh?
Edgeworth: Air. Air floats the balloon.
Maya: Uh... I guess?
Phoenix: *Whispering* I think he's upset that I used the Steel Samurai's name in vain.
Quote:
"Oh, well, I guess I have to find inspiration first," said Maya, with a small smile.
"So, each task is clear, right? Larry, you should be dressed all in black so no one would recognize you. "Ron command again.
"Do I have to wear a black costume too, Mr. DeLite? "asked Maya.
Ron nodded. "For your safety, you'd better wear a black costume, too."
Maya: I want to see the spy gear!
Phoenix: It's just going to be you in all black.
Maya: I bet I look like a super spy in all black! Or a ninja! A ninja spy!
Phoenix: Aren't ninjas already kinda spies?
Maya: What do you know about ninjas!? We need a ninja spy show, on the double!
Quote:
"And now, let's make a toast to cure Mr. Wright! "shouted Ron again, raising his glass. The three of them raised each their glass, then toast. "To Nick, Phoenix Wright, our beloved ace attorney!"
Maya and Larry then back to the hospital after finishing lunch at Ron's house. Dr. Joaquin welcomes them.
"Ah, thank God you're here. Phoenix blood pressure and platelet dropped drastically, Mrs. Fey. His condition is very weak. His temperature was increased two fold. Mrs. Fey. He ran a very high fever. I even had to inject his chest once every half-hour now. Mrs. Fey, I worried that the tumor had started eating his lungs, "whispered Dr. Joaquin while followed them into Phoenix room. And he’s right, Phoenix who’s sleeping looked very weak, even his face as pale as a ghost.
Phoenix: "Have you checked yet, doctor?"
All:...
Phoenix: *Ahem* "have you checked if the tumor is eating my lungs yet, doctor?"
Maya: Oh! Uh... "nope, haven't checked yet."
Phoenix: "Why don't you now?"
Maya: "Oh, uh... can't do it now, sorry."
Phoenix: "Why not?"
Maya: "Uh, I don't know, um........" It's rude to put people on the spot like that, Nick.
Quote:
"But he will survive, isn’t he, doctor?" asked Maya stammered.
Phoenix: Any comments on that one, Edgeworth?
Edgeworth: I don't care about the grammar anymore. I'm just tuning it out at this point.
Maya: Ding ding! That comment is worth 3 relatability points!
Edgeworth: And what can I redeem these “relatability points” for?
Maya: Maybe management will let you take a nap or something.
Speaker: No.Maya: He has 3 relatability points, though.
Speaker: He has what?Edgeworth: Ms. Fey, please, that’s enough.
Quote:
"Yes, if he immediately taken to Germany. Not if he kept lying here with treatment just injected in his chest. I understand, Mrs. Fey, it is almost impossible to get money that much in a short time, but Phoenix really should be taken to Germany soon. He needed to have surgery, and should not be delayed too long. "
Phoenix: Oh, just take out a loan, for goodness sake!
Maya: But Kristoph already refused.
Phoenix: Go to a real bank, then! Banks like loans! They get money from loans, take out a loan!
Maya: What if Kristoph already told all the banks not to give me a loan?
Phoenix: Yeah, what if.
Quote:
Maya sniffed again, while Larry strokes her back to calm her down.
Maya: Just five minutes without crying, please!
Phoenix: I think you've cried more in this than in real life the entire time I've known you.
Maya: Uh... Let's see, one, two, three, four, five... uh... six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
Phoenix: Okay, maybe not.
Maya: Still, that's two or three years to two chapters! It's still way too much!
Quote:
"I'm working, Dr. Joaquin, I'm sure we can bring Nick to Germany soon. "Maya tried hard to keep her voice steady.
"Larry .......we don’t have much time. We have to rob the bank tomorrow, "whispered Maya when Dr. Joaquin left them.
Larry stunned. "But, Maya, I'm not sure, we’re not really ready, and ...... we don’t even know what kind of security in the room where Mr. Gavin keeps his safe deposit box! You have not even found the idea to divert the attention of the employees, right? "asked Larry stammered.
Phoenix: It's an animal that eats people! Just bring a tranquilizer with you or something! It's not hard!
Maya: Did we ever get that far in figuring it out?
Phoenix: No.
Maya: Blegh.
Quote:
"It's okay, Larry ....... Ron DeLite with us! He’s a professional thief! If we continue to procrastinate, we could lose Nick! You heard what the Doctor said? I already know what I would do to distract the employees, calm down! "
Maya: Larry's the one who needs to calm down?
Phoenix: Projecting.
Edgeworth: Indeed. See a therapist about that, Ms. Fey.
Maya: But that's not- ugh! I hate her!
Quote:
"I ......... oh, all right, Maya. I'll call Mr. DeLite and tell him we're going to rob the bank tomorrow. "
Maya wiping her nose. "Thank you very much, Larry."
Larry is seen talking on the phone for a few minutes, before finally hanging up the phone.
"Alright, Maya. Mr. DeLite says he is ready to commit robbery tomorrow. "
Edgeworth: Any specific robbery? "The robbery" perhaps?
Maya: I hope he just doesn't show up and it turned out he robbed a completely different place.
Edgeworth: It would be the most interesting thing to happen in this entire plotline. An unexpected event would be an unexpected event in itself.
Quote:
The next day, the day of the bank robbery ...... ..
Maya and Larry left the hospital early in the morning like yesterday, when Phoenix was still asleep. They've packed all the things they need, and went to Ron's house by taxi.
Arriving at Ron’s house, Ron has worn his Mask DeMasque costume. Larry and Maya then change their clothes with black costume that looks like a ninja costume and went to Gavin Bank by using a car owned by Ron. Dessie releases their departure, incessantly saying "Good luck," and "Be careful."
Maya: Oh, I actually look like a ninja!? I do look like a ninja! Yeah!
Phoenix: I wonder if your tears will show through the mask.
Maya: Let me have this!
Quote:
Exactly at 8 am, they arrived at Gavin Bank. The bank situation is busy as usual.
"Come on, Maya. Do your duty. Good luck, "whispered Larry and Ron together, while slightly pushing Maya.
Nervously and cautiously, Maya issued several pieces of firecrackers and fireworks from her pocket, and then deftly she throws the firecrackers and fireworks to the bank.
Maya: And fireworks! I like this part!
Edgeworth: Enjoy your reprieve, Ms. Fey.
Maya: Stop saying things like that, you guys!
Quote:
In an instant, the bank was filled with the shouts of the employees who were shocked and BANG BANG sound deafening. Kristoph, who seemed just came, also shouted and avoid firecrackers exploding and scattered on the floor, he jumps without stopping so that at a glance, Kristoph looked like he was dancing ballet with very stiff movements.
Maya tried hard not to laugh, and then held up two thumbs-up to signal to Larry and Ron that they can go in now.
Phoenix: What did that actually accomplish?
Maya: Distraction complete!
Edgeworth: Perhaps for five seconds or so.
Maya: Distraction! Complete!
Quote:
"Come on," whispered Ron, drags Larry’s arm. Both men had crept, leaped swiftly firecrackers exploding on the floor, squinting, trying to adjust their views in the middle of a cloud of smoke to find Maya.
Larry grabbed Maya's arm violently, then the three of them ran toward the elevator. Larry hastily pressing the number 5.
Finally, they reached the fifth floor, they walked bent over like a duck to avoid being caught by CCTV cameras, and they searched the room where Kristoph keep his safe deposit box.
Edgeworth: If a duck-walk is all it takes to avoid CCTV cameras, the cameras are not well-placed.
Maya: Yeah! At worst it should only fall for the cardboard box routine!
Quote:
"Well, this is it." whispered Larry satisfaction when he saw the gray iron door with the words "Mr. Gavin Private Area. "
"Oh, good, it's locked!" exclaimed Larry upset when trying to open the door. Maya giggled.
"Of course the door was locked, Larry, see these buttons, you must enter the password," Maya said, pointing buttons that looks like a keypad next to the entrance.
Edgeworth: Larry is absolutely in character.
Phoenix: You're saying that, but are you sure you aren't biased?
Edgeworth: I... believe this is an accurate portrayal.
Phoenix: The real Larry would know that the door had a passcode after being told there was a passcode.
Edgeworth: Have you seen Larry recently?
Quote:
"Oh, I don’t see it ...... .Let's try .......... Gavinners!" said Larry while typing a password.
Beep sounds audible and the door slid open.
Larry grinned once. "Be prepared to bring Nick to Germany! Bye-bye, damn malignant tumor!"
Phoenix: Who is he talking to?
Edgeworth: It would do your sanity good to stop asking that question.
Phoenix: It would also do my sanity good if Larry could just say who he's talking to.
Maya: Obviously he's talking to the tumor!
Phoenix: *Laughs* That actually makes the most sense.
Quote:
They stepped inside, which turned very dark. Larry, Ron, and Maya could barely see anything.
"Uh ......... where’s the light?" complained Ron. "I can’t see anything ......."
"Ouch! Mr. DeLite, you stepped on my foot! "
"Sorry, sorry, Mrs. Fey ......... .. "
Suddenly, Larry saw a large enough yellow spot.
Phoenix: ...Large enough for what?
Maya: To see, or...?
Edgeworth: Large enough to be construed as a light, perhaps?
Quote:
"Hey, look, there is light here, perhaps here the lights!" exclaimed Larry to Ron and Maya.
Ron and Maya then step forward, the more they step forward, Maya feeling increasingly uneasy. Moreover, the yellow dot that Larry appointed seems shifted and sounded like he was growling.
"Larry ......" whispered Maya, groping in the dark for gripping Larry’s arm. "I think that’s yellow dot ................. not a lamp or light........"
Maya: "Groping"!? At least pick one guy to ship me with and stick to him!
Phoenix: If you had to pick me or Larry to be shipped with, who would you pick?
Maya: Not Larry.
Phoenix: You know what, that's an unfair question. I could've said Grossberg and you'd probably pick him over Larry.
Maya: Actually, I'm not sure. That one's pretty neck-and-neck. Or, 7 chins-and-neck.
Quote:
Larry chuckled. "What do you mean, Maya? Of course it was light .......... "Larry words truncated when the yellow dot was moving toward them, and looks more clear. Apparently, what they believe is a light actually are the eyes of a snake ........ a very big snake.
Edgeworth: ...Why is there a snake in the safe room?
Maya: Find out next time on Maya Fey: Ace Theif!
Edgeworth: So, not only are we not going to find out the reason why someone left the snake in there in the first place, but the chapter ends on a snake?
Just a snake?
Maya: "A very big snake". Pay attention.
Quote:
"AAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Larry, Maya, and Ron simultaneously.
--TO BE CONTINUED--
