The Bailiff brought the parrot out and put her on a perch.
Judge: That's… quite a bird. Please tell us your name?
Polly: …
Judge: Name!
Polly: …
Jude: The witness is ignoring me.
Phoenix (Thinking): It must hurt… to be ignored by a bird.
Judge: Ahem. Very well, witness… Who is your owner? Please, er… testify for us.
Polly: … Hello! Hello! …
Judge: Hmm… Certainly the most concise testimony we've had so far. Very well, begin your cross-examination.
Phoenix: Right… Well what now, genius?
Nick: … Honestly, I'm surprised we've gotten this far. But we still have to try.
Maya: But she won't speak to anyone, unless they know the secret words!
Phoenix: Well you're the only one who knows them, so you try and talk to her.
Maya: Okay. What should I say to her?
Nick: Well, they need to know the name, ask her that first.
Maya: Polly! Polly! What's your name?
Polly: Pol-ly! Pol-ly! *squawk*
Judge: Mr. Wilde… I think we've established that this parrot is named "Polly." Does this have anything to do with her owner's identity?
I looked at the court record real quick and found something.
Nick: Yes it does!
Judge: !
Karma: Hah! Fascinating! You claim that the parrot's name will prove her owner's identity? Then show us this proof!
Phoenix: Um… don't you think you're taking this bluffing a little too far?
Nick: Phoenix, remember, trust me. I did a little homework last night, watch me. Your Honor, if I can bring your attention to the DL-6 Case File…
Karma: Objection! That's quite a large file you have there! Which page is this "proof" on, then? Show us, or stop wasting our time!
Nick: I was getting to that, look at the "Suspect" page, where it says Yanni Yogi.
Judge: I see.
Nick: On this page it said that after he was arrested, his fiancée committed suicide.
Judge: Hmm… Indeed, it does say that, yes.
Nick: Your Honor, could tell the court what was his fiancée's name?
Judge: "Polly Jenkins"…
Phoenix: "Polly"!
Nick: Correct! He remembered the name of his fiancée who committed suicide. That's why he name his parrot after her!
Judge: I see! I guess that is possible.
Karma: Objection! Bah! A mere coincidence, that's all! My granddaughter has a cat she calls "Nick." Well, Mr. Nick Wilde? Does that make you my granddaughter's fiancée!?
Nick: … Uh… just out of curiously, how old is she?
Karma: She's only seven years old!?
Nick: … Forget I asked.
Judge: I have to agree with Mr. von Karma, Mr. Wilde. This alone isn't enough to prove anything about the caretaker. You're going to have to find at least one more thing to convents the court that the caretaker is Yogi.
Nick: *sigh*
Phoenix: … … !
Phoenix (Whisper): Maya, ask Polly about the safe number.
Maya: Huh…? Polly! What was the number of the safe in the shack?
Polly: 1228… 1228…
Judge: … Mr. Wright. What are you doing?
Phoenix: Your Honor! That safe number is also a connection to the DL-6 Incident!
Karma: Objection! What is this obsession you two have with that case?
Judge: Now, now, Mr. von Karma, let's hear that Mr. Wright as to say. Mr. Wright, which page shows the connection between the safe number and this file?
Phoenix: It's on the "Case Summery" page, Your Honor. More specifically the date!
Judge: The date…? Hmm… It says here the date of which the DL-6 Incident occurred was, December 28…? That's today's date. Fifteen years ago!
Phoenix: And the number on that safe is 1228!
Judge: Ah!
Phoenix: He used the date of the DL-6 Incident as the number for his safe, Your Honor! That's how important that date was to him!
Judge: I see… It certainly is an interesting coincidence. People often do set their secret numbers to dates.
Karma: Bah! This is not tangible proof! I set my ATM card's number to "0001" because I'm number one! This has nothing to do with a date! Nothing!
Judge: That's enough! I think we've reached a conclusion here.
Karma: This is a mere coincidence, that's all!
Judge: True, that is a possibility. However, two coincidences at the same time seems more like a "pattern" to me.
Karma: Wh… what are you saying!?
Judge: Summon the caretaker of the boat shop. Immediately!
