"Objection! All the prosecution has are baseless assumptions and conjecture!"
"What we have is evidence and motive."
"Your evidence is purely circumstantial and your witness also has a motive to kill the victim. Without decisive evidence you cannot accuse my client!"
"The witness, you say? Why don't you present some evidence that shows the witness did it, then?"
"And here is where I raise another objection - my job here is to defend my client, not catch the killer for you. What we need is a better job from your side to put the right man on trial rather than waste taxpayers' money time and again!"
"Objection! Our detectives do a splendid job - "
"Both you and I know that's not true."
"That's enough." The gavel came down, sound of wood against wood reverberating through the court room. "The prosecution and defence will stop wasting my time with this pointless argument. It's not the police force that's on trial here!"
"Sorry, Your Honour."
"Apologies, Your Honour."
"We're taking a thirty minute recess. Mr Edgeworth and Mr Wright, please sort this out. I'm going to watch today's Steel Samurai."
"Yes, Your Honour."
"Enjoy the show, Your Honour. Please don't spoil me afterwards, I will be watching it after this trial."
The court room emptied save two people.
"What is your problem, Wright? You've always been able to turn the case on its head and find the killer."
"I'm not on your payroll. Your detectives are."
"Wright..."
"Why should I do their job for them?"
"What really is the matter?"
"I... it's... your detectives..."
"Is this about Gumshoe?"
"N-no, what're you talking about..."
"Wright, listen: I am not sleeping with Gumshoe."
"..."
"..."
"...Really? You swear to that, Edgeworth?"
"You heard me. In fact I feel appalled that you thought that way. Aren't you the one making baseless assumptions?"
"Ah, sorry. It's just that, well, you two seem... never mind. I just needed to hear it from you."
"Hmph. Now that you've heard it from me, can we carry on? We have a killer to convict."
"Yup. Sure. I love you too."
