Ace Attorney Opening
Phoenix
Hi, My name is Phoenix Wright. I was once a famous attorney that fought countless battles till one day I met a rookie prosecutor that cost me my badge. I aided Apollo through his battle. The courtroom has gotten to be even worse since I was gone. I went back and took the bar exam again to take on these fierce opponents. My road will change forever now because my old friends have come and helped me on my new quest in the courthouse. I am ready for battle, OBJECTION!
(Objection 2001: Ace Attorney: The Series Theme)
Phoenix
My story takes place back in 2001, (Fade In- Phoenix is sitting at his computer looking at a file of the DL-6.) This case all started back when Manfred von Karma went up against a defense attorney named Gregory Edgeworth, Miles Edgeworth's father. A fierce battle between the two of them. A battle so fierce Manfred earn his first penalty and Gregory's life ended.)
(Fades in the courtroom during the trial)

(Pursuit ~ Cornered 2001)
Gregory
Objection! Your honor we are accusing this man of murder when we don't even know how or where the body is.
Judge Perciding
You mean to tell me that we don't even have an autopsy report?
Manfred
Objection! The autopsy report was delayed, my apologies to the court. Here is the autopsy report.
Gregory
Ah! (So he faked the autopsy report to make it look like he couldn't find the body.)
Judge Perciding
(Nods) Your actions concerns me Mr. von Karma but I will allow it this time.
Gregory
(He's going to let him get away with it, I have to do something.)
(Gregory looks back at Manfred.)
Manfred
Thank you, Your honor…
Gregory
Objection! Your honor, this autopsy report is a fake!
Judge Perciding
Oh really, how so?
Gregory
The police hasn't even submitted an autopsy report yet. This one isn't even approved by the police department and can't be submitted as evidence.
(The crowd goes wild. Music Fades Out, Telling The Truth 2001)
Judge Perciding
(Slams Gavel) Order! Order in the court! I do find this very troublesome indeed. Mr. von Karma this is a very grave error that has come up.
Manfred
I know how it looks your honor, but I didn't even get the time to have the police approve of this autopsy report.
Judge Perciding
Submitting this autopsy report without the police's approval could cost you your badge Mr. von Karma. I can't submit this as evidence.
Manfred
(Slams desk.) This trial can't end here yet. I'd like to call the defense to that stand.
Gregory
Proposal denied, I will not have my client take the…

Gregory
Mr. Masters, what are you doing?
Masters
I can't take this anymore, this trial has to end now. I'm making a confession Your honor, I did it. I was an accomplice to the murder of Isaac Dover, I assist in murdering the victim. It was me.
Gregory
Masters, no.
Masters
I'm sorry Mr. Edgeworth, but this is how it has to be.

Robert, I need you to take this case. I've got other business to tend to.
Robert
Sure, whatever. So who's the dame I have to protect this time?
Grossberg
(Sighs) The bailiff Yanni Yogi.
Robert
I hate to burst your bubble Grossberg but Yanni Yogi is no dame.
Grossberg
I know.
Robert
Oh well, can't win them all this time. So when does the trial start?
Grossberg
Tomorrow, so you better get cracking and talk with your client.
Robert
I wonder how the police picked him.
Grossberg
From a spirit medium. Her name is Misty Fey.
Robert
I can't believe you actually believe in one of those.
Grossberg
It's hard to say if I do or don't. They have wonderful powers.
Robert
A bunch of fairytales to me. Okay I'm heading out.
Grossberg
Good luck.
Robert
Yeah, whatever.

Hey, Mr. Grossberg.

Oh, hey Mr. White. Can, can I help you with something?
White
(Flashes his Blings.) What's the big secret with the police department?
(Suspense 2001)
Grossberg
What do you mean?
White
Rumor's going around that the police used their secret weapon.
Grossberg
I wouldn't know about that.
White
Everyone tied to the investigation knows about it! If you don't tell me I will own your office.
Grossberg
No.
White
(Flash blings.) Tell me what I want to know.
Grossberg
(Sigh) The police department used a spirit medium to find the killer.
White
Wonderful, the media will here about this. Oh, pray for a guilty verdict because if you don't I will have to charge you.

Robert
You have a vague remembrance before you walked into the elevator.
Yanni
That's correct.
Robert
(How can he testify in court. He's completely incompetent. I don't think he is fully aware that they arrested him.) Mr. Yogi, you don't have to worry, you're safe with me.
Yanni
Be that it may be they can't treat me like this! I'm, I'm… Who am I?
