Best. Quotes. Ever. in AAI. Period.

[jolti]

From the last case, while they were talking about the samurai spear..
Franziska:It's one of the most reliable weapons, after the whip!
Edgeworth:(I believe they're in a slightly different category..)

or something along those lines. Too lazy to go hunting for the exact thing.

[Louise]

- Only Larry could get himself into a fine mess like this.

Laurel and Hardy reference? ='D



- Who is this fruitcake?

[ZettoSan]

Lang: "Your diplomatic immunity... has just been revoked."

Only Lang was badass enough to pull off that Lethal Weapon line and look cool while doing it.

[MittinsKittens]

I thought I recognise that line in some form...
Thanks for that, I now know where its from :)

[Katana]

Edgeworth: OBJECTION! (fingerpoint) Go away!
(I'm nitpicking with the guy who said "Get out" but only because I like this line a bit more)

[Ayasato-chan]

On the subject of the obligatory Ladder-Gag (slightly paraphrased)

(Upon examination of the ladder outside of the Embassy in Case 5)
Edgeworth: It's a ladder.
Kay: It's actually a step ladder.
Kay: From a theif's perspective, a rope ladder is more convient. A step ladder is too heavy to carry around.
Edgeworth: From a prosecutor's perspective, all ladders are guilty... of being dangerous during earthquakes.

[Aevitas]

Two at the very end of the game:

Spoiler:

Alba: So if that other way does exist, you'd better hurry and tell me now.
Edgeworth: *bows*..........With pleasure.
Alba: Wait, what!?

That elegant bow of confidence just does it for me. XD

Also:

Edgeworth: Mr. Alba, I'm afraid there is one more question I forgot to ask..............
Alba: ..................................
Edgeworth: This country's, or Allebahst's: which country's court would you like to face first? Either way, it's game over for you.
Alba: ............E...........EdgeWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I like how he didn't even finish his name at the end. XD

[ScarletJewlyn]

Im so shocked no one pulled a Lang Zi quote so here I go >:3 its from the very end of the game soooo

Spoiler:

"Lang Zi says: Ferociouse love blossoms with every new spring" -Lang

I thought that was so ~^w^~

[WallofIllusion]

Spoiler: Case 4

If you present the knife to Calisto, she'll say "Why so serious?" after a laughing fit. Oh, Calisto Yew, you would...

[Midnight Jasper]

Spoiler: Case 4

If you present the knife to Calisto, she'll say "Why so serious?" after a laughing fit. Oh, Calisto Yew, you would...

HOW DID I MISS THAT.

You win.

[mr.man]

Spoiler:

when lablanc is giving testimony if you press him on his final statement
That is the most mistaken way of thinking I have ever heard!!!
no,no,no! It's your thinking that's wrong!!(or something like that)

[Hikka]

Spoiler: Case 1-- ...Sensei...? o:

Edgeworth: I was wondering about the investigation...

Gumshoe: Oh, I've been waiting for this! Let a real seasoned pro teach you how it's done!

Edgeworth: (A real seasoned pro? Of instant noodle cuisine, perhaps.)

*Gumshoe starts explaining investigation basics*

Edgeworth: I'm pretty sure I already knew that as well, Detective.

Gumshoe: if you can remember all that, then welcome to the world of pros! I dub you, "Ace Investigator"! Class dismissed!

Edgeworth: (And all I wanted was an update about the investigation...)

Spoiler: Case 2 -- dunno if this was already said...?

Teneiro: Mr. Hicks... If you're really dead, then please answer, "yes"...

Spoiler: Case 1 -- ...

Portsman: We were partners! Like inseparable conjoined twins!

Spoiler: Case 5

Shih-na: Ash as proof...? Are you even allowed to submit such flakey evidence in court?

Spoiler: Case 5 -- "I think I'm PARANOID~"

Gumshoe: Speaking of paranoid, I once sharpened both ends of my pencil. But then, when I went to erase something, I got all paranoid that I was gonna stab myself.

Edgeworth: Please refrain from dispensing your special brand of unrelated stories while on duty.

Gumshoe: Yes sir...

[Tombstoner]

Just spotted this while I was viewing this thread and playing.

Spoiler: Case 4

Franziska: Don't talk back to me...Unless you want to get whipped in the back.
Edgeworth: (With your height, you'd need a step-ladder or four to accomplish that.

EPIC WIN.

[Lang Zi]

Badger GET!

[WallofIllusion]

Some more conversations from case four.

Spoiler:

I just LOVE Bratziska.

Examining the door out of the building at the beginning of the middle:
...
Franziska: If I'm not "authorized personnel", then what, may I ask, do you think I am?
Officer: ...Um, the younger sibling of a dysfunctional relationship...?
Franziska: I'm not the younger one! He is! Now get that straight into your head!!
Edgeworth: (I believe there is a more objectionable part that you should be upset over, Franziska.)


Asking Calisto about Yatagarasu:
...
Calisto: You're not very funny, or witty, are you, little Miss. [typo again D:] von Karma?
Franziska: Grr.........! (gets ready to whip)
Edgeworth: Franziska! Be careful about who you whip!
Edgeworth: Choose carefully, or we may be sued by... [is whipped] Nnghhoooh!
Franziska: There. I chose carefully, just like you wanted.
Calisto: Phwwh... Mnnnphwwwwwwh! Ahahahahahaha!
Franziska: .........?
Calisto: Ahah... Ahahahahahahahahaha!
Calisto: Th-that just now... was hilarious, little missy!
Franziska: Hmph. Of course it was.
Edgeworth: (.........What is wrong with these two women!? Why does my pain give them delight?)

Asking Gumshoe why Faraday was yelling at him:
...
Gumshoe: Turns out, he was mad at me because on my very first day as a detective...
Gumshoe: I reported in at my usual post instead of the Criminal Affairs Department.
Gumshoe: By the time I got down to Criminal Affairs, I was really, really late.
Gumshoe: And that's when he gave me that huge speech...
Franziska: I remember doing the exact thing in elementary school.
Franziska: On the first day of school every year, I'd always wind up going to my old classroom.
Edgeworth: (How pathetic for the Detective to be compared to a mere schoolchild.)

Spoiler: from case 4, spoilers for case 5

Calisto: Oh, speaking of Mr. Badd, he and Mr. Faraday... ...I'd say they met up just about every single time the Yatagarasu made a move. It was practically a given that the two would meet up at every one of the crime scenes.

No kidding they did. I think she's mocking us.

[valentinite]

Another one where I don't have the exact quote -- sorry!

Spoiler: Case 4, no serious spoilers

When you get a chance to walk around everywhere partway through, go pester Callisto. There is chitchat, and eventually something causes Edgeworth to spit out a "Nnghooooh!". Callisto replies with "What is that, your mating call?" or similar.

[Furtzy]

Spoiler:

May be paraphrased slightly, but for me, it's when you present irrelevant evidence to Badd during case five.

Badd: "I see you're still a sapling of a prosecutor, Franziska..."
Franny: "I-I'll have you know that I have already matured into a stately tree of a prosecutor!"

[Cissy]

........................................

[YoshiOfADown]

Spoiler: Case 2. near the beginning

Edgeworth: By the way, is there any place you can think of where the killer might hide onboard?
Teneiro: I don't think so
Teneiro: After every First Class passenger was accounted for at his or her seat...
Teneiro: ...we made a thorough search of the place.
Teneiro: As for Business and Economy class...
Teneiro: ...no one can move between those two classes and First Class without a staff keycard.
Teneiro: And we found no record of a keycard being used at all.
Edgeworth: (Which means that I have a First Class Killer on my hands.)

I could just feel the "YEEEAAAAAAH" after Edgeworth did that Horatio Caine impression.

[Hylian100]

Can't remember where from, but I think it's Case 5:

Spoiler:

Lang: Lang Zi says: "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!"
I then went and yelled it out loud XD

[Hikka]

Can't remember where from, but I think it's Case 5:

Spoiler:

Lang: Lang Zi says: "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!"
I then went and yelled it out loud XD

Think you're right about that... ...I did the same thing... ^^u

[Louise]

Larry - Eek! Edgey, save me from the scary man!

(or something like that)

I swear I love Larry more and more each game.

[Dylia]

Spoiler: C. 5

Lang: Lang Zi says: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWL!

Lang: Quercus Alba! You BASTARD!

[Phoenix_Justice]

Spoiler: case 2 intro

:edgeworth: urgh,from earthquakes to elevators

and also

i don't know what to do with this but protect it

it's like talking to another gumshoe

[K. Riley]

Edgey's staredowns in Case 4.

Spoiler: Talk to a guard in case 4

Edgey: Egad...! What a cold stare he's giving me. However, as a disciple of von Karma, there is no option but to win! .........!
Guard: .........
Edgey: (Nngh... He's good! The power of his cold stare rivals my own!
Guard: .........zzz.
Edgey: .........! (He's sleeping while standing up!)

Same thing later, with Edgey's reflection in the window.

Spoiler: Case 4

Edgey: Ack! My eyes have locked with my reflection's eyes in the barred window! As a student of von Karma, I refuse to back down! ...................I won.

And, anything related to Edgeworth's STEEL SAMURAI FANBOYISM. XDDD

Spoiler: For Case 5

When he finds out about Larry being the Steel Samurai.
Edgeworth: Larrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy, yooooooooouuuuuuu!
Larry: Steel Samurai Sushi Slice!
Edgeworth: (I was actually moved by the acting of this moron?! How will I live with myself?!)

*apologies for just paraphrasing*

[Ayasato-chan]

By the way, what does je ne sais quoi mean? :)

It means 'I know not". It's a way to describe something that.... can't be described.

[Edrees]

I don't remember when, but if you present the wrong evidence towards the end of Case 5, Edgeworth will go

Edgeworth: "This piece of evidence stands in direction contradiction to the facts of this statement"
Lang or someone: How so?
Edgeworth: Glad you asked. Detective Gumshoe, explain.
Gumshoe: "WHAT? ME?"

Hahaha, I loved it. It doesn't go exactly like this, but I can't remember :(

[intensewombat]

Uh... Why has nobody posted the most obvious funny quote in the game? You know, when Gumshoe remarked about the secret safe in Edgeworth's office, and asked if there were any secret cameras? (By the way, can somebody please post it? I forgot the exact dialogue...)

[Nii]

: I heard Edgeworth teamed up with a thief and became a detective. Maybe I should team up with a bailiff and become a lawyer or something?

Hurrhurr. Oh Udgey, you silly goose~

[Hikka]

Uh... Why has nobody posted the most obvious funny quote in the game? You know, when Gumshoe remarked about the secret safe in Edgeworth's office, and asked if there were any secret cameras? (By the way, can somebody please post it? I forgot the exact dialogue...)

Spoiler: You mean this one~? o:

Gumshoe: I never knew there was a safe hidden back here!

Edgeworth: Well, if detectives knew about them, then they wouldn't be "secret" now would they?

Gumshoe: Are there any other secret, hidden things in this room?

Edgeworth: Even if there were, it would defeat the purpose of them being "hidden" if I told you. So don't bother looking for them.

Gumshoe: S-So there's no, like, hidden camera around, right?

Edgeworth: Hm? And what if there was...?

Gumshoe: A-Ah! No, it's nothing! Forget I said anything!

Edgeworth: (Do I even want to ask what he's been doing in my office while I've been away!?)

...And speaking of which...

Spoiler: o: !?!?!

Gumshoe: A s-secret safe!? Oh, I smell money!

Edgeworth: I'll spare us the trouble and just say it. Nothing like what you're imagining is inside.

Spoiler: Bawwww, Gumshoe~...

Gumshoe: So... what's inside, Mr. Edgeworth!?

Edgeworth: Right now? Nothing. We only use them to store especially important evidence when a trial is in session.

Gumshoe: That's it...? Talk about squashing my hopes and dreams...

[Marloch]

Spoiler:

"I propose that you killed Mr. Deacon with the revolver in the haunted house!" Definitely a Clue reference rofl.

[Phoenix_Justice]

not the exact thing,but

Spoiler: case 2

:edgeworth: is it me? or do elevators have rising hatred for me?

[Aevitas]

Spoiler: Case 4

Badd: Well, well... Looks like you just might have a brain after all in that head of yours, son.
Edgeworth: (S-Son!? I'm not your son, "pops"!)
------------------------------
Von Karma: What is it, little girl?
Kay: .........Your face is scary, mister.
Von Karma: !

[Jean Descole]

Spoiler: Case 4

Badd: Well, well... Looks like you just might have a brain after all in that head of yours, son.
Edgeworth: (S-Son!? I'm not your son, "pops"!)

That quote always reminded me of Fei Fong Wong from Xenogears, who said something very similar to an NPC.

[Aevitas]

But Edgeworth makes that quote even more awesome because he's Edgeworth. XD

Oh Bratworth, you cocky bastard.

[Midnight Jasper]

One from case 4 that I missed the first time round

Spoiler:

when talking to li'l Kay.
Present Promise Notebook:
Edgeworth: (Hmm...It appears that there are more than just the five I thought there were...
Promise VI... "If you ever have a boyfriend, you must bring him to meet Daddy right away."
Promise VII..."Even when you have a boyfriend, never forget that I love you the most."
.......................
Franziska: I certainly don't envy the poor sap she falls in love with...
Kay: ...?

Kay's obliviousness is adorable~ Even if it is a little weird for a ten-year-old

[Louise]

Can't remember the exact quote but I loved Fran calling Edgey her "cute subordinate" XD

[Aevitas]

One from case 4 that I missed the first time round

Spoiler:

when talking to li'l Kay.
Present Promise Notebook:
Edgeworth: (Hmm...It appears that there are more than just the five I thought there were...
Promise VI... "If you ever have a boyfriend, you must bring him to meet Daddy right away."
Promise VII..."Even when you have a boyfriend, never forget that I love you the most."
.......................
Franziska: I certainly don't envy the poor sap she falls in love with...
Kay: ...?

Omg that is adorable!

[Ben Credable (PI)]

Probably been said before.

Edgeworth-This is no game, Ambassador Alba, This is war!

[Rhyme]

Ooh, I saved a bunch in my iPod, let's see..

Spoiler: Case 3

Kay: If someone steals from me, I steal something back from them. If I get hit, I hit them back. If I get paid, I return the money.
Edgeworth: (Her third statement doesn't seem to be much of a benefit to her survival...)

Spoiler: Case 4

I don't have the exact wording, but one that really made me laugh was during the Judge's testimony, they were asking him if he was slacking off or something, and it went something like:

Franziska: Your Honor, were you derelict in your duties?
Judge: No, I don't dare lick my duties, what kind of person do you take me for?!

<3 Udgey

Spoiler: Case 5

Larry: What kind of introduction was that? If you're not careful, you might find your tiny number of friends go down by one!
Edgeworth: That was uncalled for.

The Santa one was mentioned, as was the one where Franziska planned to dock Edgeworth's pay. :P

Examining knives on wall:

Franziska: The two countries embellished their knives with their own national symbols, I guess. And just like the Yatagarasu's Key, they are exquisitely made. This level of craftsmanship makes these knives worthy of being owned by me.
Edgeworth: (I believe you already have all the dangerous toys you will ever need, Franziska.)

I think from examining a bush in Babahl you will get some dialogue where Kay says Miles isn't enthusiastic enough, which leads to this:

Kay: It's important for both thieves and prosecutors to be energetic!
Edgeworth: Perhaps for a thief like you, but that level of energy is unbecoming of a prosecutor.
Kay: You really think so? That prosecutor we met at Gatewater Land seemed to be pretty active.
Edgeworth: Well, he's not a prosecutor anymore. See how everything just naturally balances out?

Examining the chair in Coachen's office:

Edgeworth: That looks like a very comfortable chair.
Kay: Well, it doesn't look at all that broken, so why don't you try sitting in it?
Edgeworth: No, I'd better not. It's very important that we preserve the crime scene at all times.
Kay: Wait, but you're always touching all sorts of things at crime scenes!
Edgeworth: That's because I am a prosecutor, and it's a part of my job to examine things.
Kay: And it's my job to be a Great Thief!
Edgeworth: Which is exactly why you are not allowed to touch anything.

During Shih-Na's testimony:

Lang: Now, I realize you may not know this, but...
[cue dramatic double finger-point from Lang and Shih-Na]
Humans can't fly.

Kay, when Lang and Alba have a sarcastic laughing contest mid-argument: Wow, you two really know how to laugh at inappropriate times!

I have a lot more from Case 5, but that's plenty already.
