Angel: After the murder, the suspect attempted to run behind a partition off to her side. I quickly caught her, and explained her rights to her, and arrested her on the spot. Ah yes. When I arrested her, she mentioned the muffler! That's what had me confused in my earlier testimony! The chief prosecutor made to escape, but against Angle Starr, resistance is futile!

Judge: You are quite determined about this scarf, aren't you?

Angel: I strike like a snake and bite like a cobra! That's me. Angle Starr.

Phoenix: That wasn't a very good metaphor. First of all, a cobra is a kind of snake.

Angel: Don't bother me with details, unless you want to get bitten!

Phoenix: N-no thanks!

Ema: Note to self: Attorney Wright gets bitten by snake.

Angel: The chief prosecutor tired to resist, but her efforts were in vain. She knocked my hands aside, kicked over an oil drum…

Judy: O-oil drum?

Phoenix (Thinking): Hard to imagine…

Angel: Oh, she's beautiful, but deadly! A predator, this one! A leopard woman! Rowr!

Judge: Very well, Mr. Wright. Your cross-examination, if you will.

Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor. Ms. Starr, can you show us this "partition" on the floor plans?

Edgeworth: I'm sure she means this wall next to the car.

Phoenix (Thinking): That's right… There was a wall there… about 6 feet high.

Angel: She was obviously trying to hid herself. Quite a natural thing for a criminal to do!

Edgeworth: And that's when you capture and arrested her?

Angle: That's correct.

Phoenix: How close were you to the suspect?

Angel: As I just said! I was only 30 feet away from her the whole time.

Judy: 30 feet? So let me get this straight, you were in B Block, correct? So that means you were here.

Judge: That would make it about 30 feet, yes.

Phoenix: Is that correct, Ms. Starr?

Angel: Y-yes, that's right.

Judge: But, there was a chain link fence in front of you…?

Angel: I went over it, of course.

Judge: Amazing! The Cough-up Queen lunchlady athlete, indeed.

Ema: It would have taken her a little time to climb over the fence. She couldn't have gotten to my sister THAT fast…

Judy: You're right. That fence is pretty high too.

Phoenix: How come Ms. Skye didn't get away? Hmm… Well, anyway. When you arrested Ms. Skye, you said that she mention a muffler. What exactly did she say?

Angel: If I remembered exactly, I would have told you in my testimony!

Phoenix (Thinking): Cheeky!

Angel: Anyway, all I heard her say was the word "muffler."

Judge: Just that one word?

Edgeworth: So… what you heard wasn't the suspect talking to you, but to someone else?

Angel: Yes. The chief prosecutor was talking on her phone!

Phoenix (Thinking): Her phone?

Phoenix: By phone… do you mean this cell phone, discovered at the crime scene?

Angel: Yes, ultimately.

Judy: Ultimately?

Angel: My memory… it's like a salmon, heading upstream, you see.

Judge: N-no, the court doesn't see, Ms. Starr.

Angel: The chief prosecutor first attempted to use the phone hanging on the wall.

Judge: On the wall?

Phoenix (Thinking): That's right! Near the car… there was an emergency phone on the wall!

Angel: Apparently, it was out of order.

Judy: And so she used her cell phone?

Edgeworth: Indeed, the emergency phone was out of order that day.

Judge: Hmm. Good witnessing, witness!

Phoenix (Thinking): Good witnessing? Whatever happened to good testifying?

Judge: Though, I would like for you do restate your testimony to what you've witness, including, to when she used the phone.

Angel: The things I do, to please this rookie defense attorney. I'll only say it once, so listen close, Rookies. The chief prosecutor stabbed the victim, and ran behind the partition. Then she picked up the emergency phone on the wall, but it was out of order. So she pulled her own cell phone out of her pocket.

Judge: And during that time, you climbed over the chain link fence…

Angel: Then, when I boldly grabbed her arm… The chief prosecutor hung up her phone!

Phoenix: And you saw her doing this?

Ema: …? What is it, Mr. Wright?

Phoenix: Ms. Starr… What you've just said has a fatal contradiction… How do you explain this?

Angel: Hmph! I don't know what you're talking about. Mess with me… and I'll make you cough it ALL up!

Phoenix: Ahem! Let's look at the floor plans. You said you witnessed the crime scene from B Block, from 30 feet of Edgeworth's car. However, if that's true… You couldn't possibly have seen Ms. Skye making that phone call!

Angel: …!

Phoenix: I believe you see what I'm getting at. That emergency phone was on the back side of this partition. If, indeed, you were in B Block… You couldn't have seen it!

Angel: Wha… Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!

Judge: Order! Order! What is the meaning of this?

Phoenix: It's simple, Your Honor. She's not coughing up lunch… she's coughing up lies!

Angel: Grrr!

Edgeworth: Objection! That's quite a claim, Mr. Wright… perhaps you will allow me a question? Tell us exactly what lie this witness has told the court!

Phoenix (Thinking): Here's where the counter-attack begins! I can't afford to get this wrong!

Phoenix: The witness lied about where she saw the crime!

Judge: What do you mean, Mr. Wright?

Phoenix: Think back to what she said in her testimony. She stated that Lana Skye tired to use the emergency phone… but if was out of order. What is significant about this fact? Nothing. It would be pointless for her to lie about it!

Judge: Pointless to lie… I see!

Phoenix: The witness did actually see Ms. Skye using the emergency phone. In other words… Ms. Starr witnessed the crime from a different location!

Edgeworth: Objection! A different location!? Now that's a pointless lie if I ever heard one!

Phoenix: Objection! Before you call my lie pointless… at least let me tell it!

Judge: Let me ask a question to our clever wordsmith, Mr. Wright. Just where was the witness when she saw the crime!?

Phoenix (Thinking): All the testimony we've heard until now points in one direction…

Phoenix: The place from where Ms. Starr witnessed this crime was… here! Your Honor! This is the only place where she could have been.

Judge: The security guard room?

Edgeworth: Indeed, the security guard room in the underground parking lot is well positioned… It's built on the second level, so you can see the entire lot.

Judge: Hmm… She would have been able to see the emergency phone from there. But why there? There are many other places where she could have seen the phone.

Phoenix: Not in this case, Your Honor. The witness, not being part of the Prosecutor's Office, couldn't park in A Block. The only place where she could have seen the crime and the back of the partition is here. I remember in you testimony, you said… You brought a lunch to your "boyfriend" in the security guard room, yes? Well, Ms. Starr?

Angel: … How many years have I been getting the better of men…? To think the tables could be turned… Today, a man has got the better of Angel Starr!

Judge: Order! Order! Witness! What have you done!? You used to be a detective! You should know better!

Angel: I'm not turning my back. The guilty will be punished. And I'll do what I must to make sure justice prevails.

Phoenix (Thinking): The guilty… is she talking about Ms. Skye…?

Ema: Um, guys? Doesn't that strike either of you as odd? Why did Ms. Starr lie? It doesn't make any sense!

Phoenix: Huh?

Ema: She could have just said she saw the crime from the security guard station. It wouldn't change anything!

Judy: …! She's right!

Edgeworth: Exactly! This photograph tells all! It was the defendant who stabbed the victim! That truth still stands!

Phoenix: Objection! It "still stands"? I disagree, Mr. Edgeworth.

Edgeworth: Wh-what!?

Phoenix: If a witness is found lying, they're guilty of perjury. She knows this. She wouldn't risk that without a good reason!

Judge: So, tell us what her reason was, Mr. Wright!

Phoenix: … Huh? M-me?

Judge: Who else!?

Ema: Mr. Wright! Let's review what we know!

Judy: Okay, so Ms. Starr witnessed the crime from the security guard station…

Phoenix: But she lied and said she saw it from B Block…

Ema: But from the photo she took of my sister, it does make it clear that she indeed saw something from B Block.

Phoenix (Thinking): It must make a vital difference… but what? What would change…? … …! Ah hah! Of course!

Phoenix: It changes the distance between her and the scene of the crime!

Edgeworth: Objection! My condolences, Mr. Wright… But one look at the floor plans and it's quite clear. The distance between the scene of the crime and the guard station is 30 feet. I don't see how that would change what she could see.

Phoenix: Objection! What she saw is not in question. What matters is the time it would take her to reach the scene of the crime!

Edgeworth: …!

Phoenix: Ms. Starr! You witnessed the crime scene from the security guard station! Now, how long did it take you to go from there… to the scene of the crime, where you arrested Ms. Skye!?

Angel: …

Judge: Well, witness?

Angel: You…

Phoenix: Y-yes…?

Angel: You ordered the Squid Wheels, right?

Phoenix (Thinking): The quality of my lunches as gone from low to inedible.

Angel: I was bringing a PB&J lunch with fresh boysenberry jam to my boyfriend.

Judge: Hmm… Boysenberry for the boyfriend!

Angel: He wasn't in the station, so I waited. I witnessed the crime from the glass-walled station… and before I knew what I was doing, I found myself running towards the scene. But… the door was locked. I couldn't open it. That's why I had to go through the visitor's park in B Block.

Judge: That's quite a detour.

Angel: It probably took me at least five minutes to get to the scene of the crime.

Judge: F-f-f-five minutes!? Hmm… This changes things considerably!

Angel: But, it was that woman over there in the defendant's chair who stabbed him! I know it! I have photographic evidence! I swear it… I swear it on my finest plastic spork!

Judge: You have a point. And the spork is a wonderful invention.

Angel: Would you like another Caviar Lunch…?

Judge: Absolutely!

Judy: Uh oh… this isn't good.

Ema: Mr. Wright! You have to do something!

Phoenix: Objection! Five minutes between the witnessing of the murder and the arrest! Think about it! You could make pasta in that amount of time! If you like it al dente!

Angel: I've got lunchboxes that tie pasta into knots, Rookie!

Phoenix: A five minute "blank"… Isn't that strange!?

Edgeworth: Strange…?

Phoenix: If you were a criminal… what would you do with five minutes, Your Honor?

Judge: Well, um… I guess I'd flee the scene. Hey! D-don't get the wrong idea! I didn't kill anyone…

Phoenix: But you have the instincts of a killer! You would run! But this time it was different! Ms. Skye dawdled at the scene of the crime… she even had her picture taken! No true criminal would act this way! It's inconceivable!

Angel: Y- yeeeeeargh!

Judge: Well then. It seems we've come to the end of this testimony. She has a grudge against the defendant, and there is a blank in her testimony.

Angel: …!

Judge: Mr. Edgeworth, is the next witness ready to go?

Edgeworth: Unfortunately… I appear to have overestimated this witness on account of her professional history…

Ema: We did it! We screwed that can shut, guys!

Judy: Whew… that was a bit too close. But I think we should get an extra day of investigation because of her testimony.

Judge: I'm afraid that the Cough-up Queen has been dethroned. And with that, court is adjourned!

Hold It!

Everyone stopped and look at the witness.

Angel: Mr. Edgeworth, you order the Squid Wheels, right?

Phoenix (Thinking): That's the one she tried to foist off on me!

Edgeworth: I prefer not to take the defense team's leftovers. Anything else to say?

Angel: I… might be able to have you. I have decisive evidence.

Judge: Wh-what was that!?

Phoenix (Thinking): Is this another one of her trick lunchboxes!?

Judge: My apologies, but we have no further questions to ask of you, Ms. Starr.

Angel: Ah… Is this your jumbo lunchbox?

Judge: Whoo hoo! A triple-decker! Out of deference to the witness's determination, I'll allow one more testimony! Let's hear about this decisive evidence.

Angel: Like the Lunchland motto says, you won't be disappointed!

Phoenix (Thinking): What's she going to pull out of her lunchbox this time!?
