Post by bunniefuu »

PW:For years, I've had an unchanging desire.

PW:To be there for those with no one on their side.

Offices,Sign:Wright & Co. Law Offices

PW:That was why I became a defense attorney.

PW:When I was a kid, an incident gave birth to friendships

PW:that support me to this day.

PW:But I never expected to unravel the mystery behind that case after so long.

PW:It was fifteen years ago, on a morning toward the end of summer,

PW:that it all began.

Show,OP Title:Ace Attorney

SignB,Sign:Fifteen Years Ago September

Ep TitLe:Turnabout Promise

PW:I'm so sorry, Edgeworth.

PW:Miles Edgeworth.

PW:We were classmates, but we'd never even talked.

PW:He was always studying.

PW:And to be honest, I felt a bit uncomfortable around him.

LB:It really is money!

LB:Hey, I don't think you need that.

LB:Sheesh, you drive a hard bargain.

LB:How about this, then?

LB:It's my most treasured snack!

LB: dollars! So lucky!

LB:Okay, I get it!

LB:I just gotta take it to the cops, right?

LB:What, you know where the police box is?

Lobby,Sign:Please adopt me

PW:Larry Butz.

PW:A carefree guy who was always getting caught up in strange incidents.

PW:No, it was more like he caused them.

PW:That day, I was excused from PE

PW:and was studying in the classroom alone.

SignA,Sign:Lunch Money Receipt Class - Miles Edgeworth

PW:This is Edgeworth's.

PW:The envelope was empty.

PW:And the class put me on trial as a thief who'd been caught red-handed.

C:Thief! Thief!

PW:Miss, I... I...

T:Tell the truth, Phoenix.

PW:But I didn't do it!

T:Now, apologize to Miles.

ME:Objection!

PW:Edgeworth?

ME:It wasn't you who stole my money, was it?

PW:No.

ME:Then hold your head high.

ME:Everyone's been shouting that you did it, but no one has any proof.

G:Wh-What are you saying?

G:It was your money that was stolen.

G:We don't need proof!

ME:In a court of law, the evidence tells all.

ME:Before you have the pretension to hold a class trial, at least realize that!

LB:Yeah, knock it off already!

LB:He said he didn't do it!

PW:Larry...

LB:This is always how it is, everybody ganging up and picking on one person.

LB:Aren't you guys ashamed of yourselves?

ME:The defendant has pled not guilty.

ME:Without evidence to prove his guilt...

ME:Your Honor, this boy is innocent!

T:R-Right.

ME:I rest my case!

ME:This trial is over. Court is adjourned!

LB:Get going! Court is adjourned!

PW:Edgeworth!

PW:Thanks for believing me earlier! It made me really happy!

ME:There was no evidence to prove your guilt.

ME:That was all.

LB:Hey!

PW:Larry?

LB:I don't think I've ever seen you two together.

PW:I wanted to thank him.

LB:Oh, for that class trial?

PW:Thank you, too.

LB:Why?

PW:For believing me.

LB:Well, helping people in need

LB:is the Signal Samurai's signal motto.

PW:Oh, you like Signal Samurai, too?

PW:I watch it every week.

LB:I'm totally Yellow.

PW:And I'm Blue.

LB:Good choice. That guy's sharp.

PW:Ultimate Move: Sally Forth!

LB:Aw, yeah!

LB:What about you, Edgeworth?

ME:Why are you two getting worked up?

ME:You aren't kids.

PW:But we are!

ME:All that aside...

ME:Is this animal yours?

PW:I've been wondering about that. And the dog food.

LB:Oh, this?

LB:I just bought it.

ME:Do something about this.

LB:Apparently he likes you.

PW:I didn't know you had a dog.

LB:I don't... I just found him this morning.

PW:This morning?

LB:Uh, it just kind of happened...

Sign:Children's Park

ME:Then he's an abandoned dog?

PW:That's awful! I feel so sorry for him!

ME:What will you do about him?

PW:Won't you keep him, Larry?

LB:At my place?

LB:No way, dude.

ME:Then why bring him with you?

LB:What else could I do?

LB:Could you ignore this adorable face?

LB:What about your place, Wright?

PW:I can't keep him at my place.

ME:Butz, where did you find this animal?

SignD,Sign:Please adopt me

ME:This cardboard box is for deliveries.

ME:This sorting center...

ME:It covers the town's southern areas.

ME:Evidently, they removed the address label,

ME:but they failed to get all of it.

ME:The last bit says "."

ME:So a high-rise?

PW:How can you tell?

ME:.

ME:This area has no addresses like that.

ME:It must be a high-rise apartment building.

ME:Apartment , on the twenty-second floor.

LB:You're kind of amazing, man.

ME:An apartment building in the south with at least twenty-two floors.

ME:It shouldn't be hard to find.

PW:Let's go.

PW:We can't let them just abandon this dog!

PW:I'm sure he wants to go home, too!

LB:All right.

LB:Let's take him home.

LB:You're coming with us, right, Edgeworth?

ME:No, I—

PW:That's right!

PW:Let's all give the owner a piece of our minds!

ME:Deal with this animal, please.

ME:I cannot walk like this.

LB:I can't believe how much he likes you.

PW:Aren't you gonna hold him?

ME:I shall look for the apartment building.

ME:Also...

LB:What are you doing?

LB:Whoa, whoa...

LB:Dude!

ME:You don't need it anymore, right?

ME:Let the dogs around here snack on it.

LB:Snack? I bought it with my pocket money, you know...

SignD,Sign:th Block

LB:Hey, Edgeworth... Are you sure we're going the right way?

PW:We've come pretty far.

ME:No need to worry.

ME:Looks like we made it.

SignE,Sign:Connor

W:Like I said, I've never seen this dog before.

LB:But he's so happy to see you!

W:Look, we don't care anymore.

ME:Abandoning small animals is a crime.

W:Excuse me?

ME:If you're reported, not only will you be investigated,

ME:you may also be fined.

W:Oh? Let's see you try!

W:I'll pay as much it takes!

W:Threatening an adult? Kids these days...

PW:Don't you feel sorry for him?!

W:Sh-Shut up.

W:Y-You'd better give it a rest, or I'll call the cops.

PW:Forget it!

LB:You were so cool back there, Wright...

PW:I was just so upset.

ME:All right, but didn't you say that you couldn't keep that animal?

PW:Oh, right.

LB:You're so lame, man.

PW:You're one to talk...

ME:I shall take him.

ME:Neither of you can, correct?

ME:Then I shall ask my father.

PW:Thanks, Edgeworth!

LB:You're kind of a bro!

ME:D-Don't be ridiculous.

ME:Let's go home.

PW:But which way is home?

LB:Oh...

ME:As I said, no need to worry.

ME:Come. This way.

PW:Were you dropping bits of dog food earlier?

ME:So we wouldn't be lost returning, yes.

LB:Wait, that was why you made Wright hold him?

ME:We couldn't have him eating it.

LB:Are you really a grade schooler?

PW:It's gotten dark. What time is it?

ME:Nearly PM.

LB:Crap!

PW:Signal Samurai airs today!

LB:You'd better not miss it today, Edgeworth!

LB:It starts at seven.

ME:Father watches the news at that time.

VK:Are you ready?

ME:All right.

VK:Let's go.

VK:What is this?

PW:Well...

VK:It's unnecessary for one who will set foot in the von Karma home.

PW:Edgeworth!

LB:Edgey!

LB:He left without telling us.

LB:What a jerk...

LOLIFRANFRANFRAN:I am Franziska von Karma.

LOLIFRANFRANFRAN:From now on, I'll teach you everything you need to know.

LB:Damn it!

LB:He moved out, huh?

LB:Let's go already.

LB:Hey, look.

PW:Signal Red!

LB:This is his, right?

LB:Hey, Nick!

LB:Wait up!

LB:Nick!

LB:What are you doing?

PW:Taking this to Edgeworth...

LB:You idiot! Just think about it!

LB:This was in the trash.

LB:That means we're not friends or anything anymore—

PW:No!

PW:Edgeworth wouldn't do that!

LB:Then what does this mean?!

LB:Screw this!

LB:Nick?

PW:Edgeworth would never throw our friendship away!

LB:So why did we find it in the trash?

PW:That's...

LB:The Signal Samurai are done.

PW:Larry?

LB:Later.

PW:Wait, Larry!

PW:Let's go return this to Edgeworth!

LB:I won't go.

PW:If I have to, I'll go alone!

LB:Suit yourself.

PW:Edgeworth...

PW:Did you really throw this away?

PW:Did you throw the mark of our friendship away?

PW:I don't believe it.

PW:I can't believe it!

PW:What's this?

ME:Sorry, that's all.

ME:Once you're done eating,

ME:let's go pick up what we left behind.

ME:It's gone!

PW:Edgeworth...

PW:I've been waiting for you.

ME:How did you know I would return?

PW:After you left,

PW:I found them.

PW:I found these.

PW:You dropped markers so you wouldn't get lost.

PW:Just like back then.

PW:That's how I knew

PW:you'd definitely come back here

PW:to pick this up.

PW:I believed that you'd never throw it away.

ME:Wright...

PW:We're gonna be friends forever.

PW:Take care, Edgeworth.

ME:You, too, Wright.

LB:Ahem! Where could it be?

PW:Larry!

LB:I dropped something around here, too...

PW:I've got it right here.

PW:Look, your Signal Yellow.

LB:That's it!

PW:What's with all the umbrellas?

LB:Oh, uh, you know...

LB:But the rain stopped.

PW:Larry...

ME:Why did Wright have your Yellow?

LB:Huh?

LB:Oh, uh, you know.

LB:Anyway, Edgey...

LB:From what I can see, he ate all your markers.

LB:How are you gonna get back?

LB:Should you really laugh?

LB:Whatever.

PW:Fifteen years have passed.

PW:Our case has finally been closed.

PW:And our friendship will never change.
