Phoenix: My client is Mr. Jay Senin.

Judge: J-J-Jay Senin!?

Judge: The young fighter?!

Judge: Why, he's my new favorite fighter next to the Headhunter!

Phoenix: (Even the Judge watches street fighting?!)

Phoenix: (Give me a break!)

Maya: I guess even the Judge is a big fan.

Phoenix: (I'm surrounded by foolish fighting fans...)

Judge: Nevertheless, I will give my verdict no matter who it is.

Von Karma: I hope your client will enjoy the jail fighting life, Mr. Phoenix Wright.

Jay: Hey, that blue hair looks kinda cute.

Phoenix: (He actually has an attraction to Franziska?!)

Phoenix: (Doesn't he have a girlfriend?!)

Judge: Mr. Wright, do you have any actions to take?

Phoenix: Yes, your Honor.

Phoenix: I'm call Mr. Senin to the stand!

Jay: Well, that went pretty quick..

Jay: ...

Judge: I must say.

Judge: It is an honor to have the young fighter, Jay Senin in my courtroom.

Jay: Heh, thank you sir.

Judge: But yet I feel a bit troubled since your are the accused.

Jay: It's not the first time trouble has caught my legs.

Judge: Really-

- Whip Smack! -

Judge: - nooOOOOOWWWW!!

Von Karma: This is no time for any feelings to the defendant.

Von Karma: Please begin your testimony.

Judge: Yes, please.

Jay: A whip?

Jay: That could come in handy in hardcore weapon matches.

Phoenix: (I don't understand what is going on anymore...)

- Witness Testimony: What Happened That Night -

Jay: Well, if you want to know about what happened. Nothing much happened.

Jay: I was celebrating my victory that night.

Jay: Then all of a sudden, I heard some noises.

Jay: I rushed to the office and knocked out.

Jay: After that, I was found arrested.

- End Testimony -

Judge: Sounds like he's innocent.

- Whip Smack! -

Judge: Ouch!

Von Karma: The defendant is hiding something. He's trying to lie his way into innocence.

Phoenix: (Calm down, Franziska.)

Phoenix: (Finding that stuff is my job.)

Judge: Mr. Wright, you may begin the cross examination.

Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor.

- Cross Examination -

Jay: Well, if you want to know about what happened. Nothing much happened.

Jay: I was celebrating my victory that night.

Phoenix: Hold It!

Phoenix: You were celebrating your victory? On What?

Jay: It was against my rival, Kenneth Kenson.

Maya: It was on television, Nick.

Maya: You couldn't have missed it.

Phoenix: Then let's say I missed it.

Jay: The fight was also for the lightweight title.

Phoenix: Lightweight?

Maya: Yeah, Jay isn't that big enough for the heavyweight division yet, so he went for the lightweight division.

Maya: Though I would have suggested Continental.

Jay: Hey, you have a good idea there.

Jay: Why didn't I think of that?

Phoenix: (Aren't we getting a little off topic here?)

Jay: Then all of a sudden, I heard some noises.

Phoenix: Hold It!

Phoenix: You heard some noises? What kind?

Jay: Let's see...

Jay: Some voices and two gunshots.

Phoenix: Two..?

Von Karma: Only two?

Jay: That's what I said.

Jay: I guy like me knows what a gun shot sounds like.

Jay: I'd say it was a 657 Magnum Hunter.

Phoenix: A 65 what..?

Jay: It's a revolver like those kinds you see in those western cowboy movies.

Jay: I should know.

Phoenix: ACK!

Jay: ..?

Phoenix: (Oh, crap..)

Phoenix: (I think just admitted it..)

Jay: But, then again.

Jay: My memory of a gun was only a 9mm , Ak-47, Ak-9 and a 657.

Jay: Sorry for the confusion.

Phoenix: (Geez, don't say stuff like that...)

Jay: I rushed to the office and knocked out.

Phoenix: Hold It!

Phoenix: You were knocked out?

Jay: Yeah, by some strange figure.

Phoenix: WHAT!?

- People Murmur -

- Gavel Whack! -

Judge: Order! Order!

Judge: Mr. Senin. I want you to give every detail of what happened when you are on stand.

Jay: Uh, sorr-

- Whip Snap! -

Jay: -y..

Jay: Ah, almost got, eh?

Von Karma: ...!

Phoenix: (He dodged the whip? I think I found a hero.)

Jay: Just because you're cute doesn't mean you can whip me down.

Von Karma: Just continue!

Jay: Sorry. Well, I saw the figure running out of the door and and hit me down.

Judge: And then what happened?

Jay: After that, I was found arrested.

Phoenix: OBJECTION!

Phoenix: So after hearing that, why were you arrested?

Jay: The police found me and Mr. McBhan's dead body in the office.

Jay: And to make things worse, the gun was in my hand.

Von Karma: I just happen to have the gun.

Judge: Hmmm...Why it's a revolver.

Jay: Only a revolver could make a shot that can be heard by these ears.

Phoenix: (Quit while you're ahead, Jay. Or this is gonna get ugly.)

- Revolver Added Into Court Record -

- Gavel Whack! -

Judge: It seems that we have some proof that Jay is guilty, but what would have been the motive for Mr. McBhan's murder?

Von Karma: That will be given by the witness I have prepared.

Judge: Is he here?

Von Karma: Unfortunatley, not.

Von Karmra: He has reported to be in the court in 10 minutes.

Judge: Then a 10 minute recess will be made.
